What changed, and why it matters
This commit only removes an old developer comment (a 'TODO' note) about a possible future feature. No actual code behavior changes, so it has no security effect on its own.
No security action needed; this is a documentation-only cleanup. Reviewers may note that the described future enhancement (metadata commitment) is not implemented.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff deletes a 9-line TODO comment in src/handler/register_wallet.c that discussed optionally adding signed metadata to wallet registration responses. No executable code, data structures, control flow, or cryptographic operations were modified. The compute_wallet_hmac call and surrounding logic remain identical.
