The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward internal code cleanup. It replaces a custom hand-written encoding helper for Bitcoin transaction witness data with a reusable, already-existing encoder component. There is no indication of a bug fix or security change.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal refactoring review; verify tests pass and encoding remains byte-for-byte compatible if desired.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
