Use scriptPubkey instead of script public key
What the developer wrote
Authored by Tobin C. Harding
Use scriptPubkey instead of script public key
This terminology is not that widely used, lets use `scriptPubkey`
instead as is more common.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only rewords two documentation comments in the source code. It changes the phrase 'script public key (scriptPubKey)' to '`scriptPubKey` (locking script)' to match more common Bitcoin terminology. No code behavior changes, no API changes, and no security implications.
No action required. This is a non-functional documentation terminology cleanup.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies two Rust doc comments in primitives/src/script/mod.rs. The type aliases ScriptPubKey and ScriptPubKeyBuf remain unchanged; only their descriptive text is updated. There are no functional changes, no new logic, no bug fixes, and no security-relevant alterations.
