The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds new test code. It extends the project's constant-time test suite to also exercise the silent payments module, ensuring that secret key material is not accidentally leaked through timing side channels during those operations. There is no change to the actual cryptographic library code that users rely on.

Recommended action

No action required. Treat as routine test improvement. If reviewing, verify the new test cases correctly cover the silent payments API surface and that CI passes with the module enabled.

Security signals we found

01

Adds constant-time (side-channel) test coverage for the silent payments module

02

Uses memory-secret marking macros (SECP256K1_CHECKMEM_UNDEFINE/DEFINE) to detect secret-dependent branches

03

No functional or cryptographic code changes
