The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new helper data type for encoding transaction outpoints (a reference to a specific output of a Bitcoin transaction) in a special message format called TLV, which is used inside Lightning Network protocol messages. It is purely additive: it introduces a new wrapper type, its encoder/decoder, and unit tests. There is no bug fix, no change to existing logic, and no security-relevant behavior described in the commit or diff.

Recommended action

No security action needed. Review as normal code-quality/feature addition if this type is intended for use in a future protocol change.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
