The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward code cleanup: it removes a small internal helper function named secp256k1_get_hash_context() and replaces every call with direct access to the context's hash_ctx field. The behavior is identical; no security bug is fixed or introduced.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Treat as normal maintenance/refactoring.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
