The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors how the Bitcoin P2P 'feefilter' message is encoded and decoded. It introduces a dedicated FeeFilter wrapper type and uses a new consensus-encoding crate. The change is primarily a code-quality and API-consistency improvement; it does not appear to fix a known security bug, but it does slightly harden handling of malformed fee-filter values by centralizing the logic.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as a routine refactor with minor hardening. Reviewers may want to verify that the new consensus-encoding dependency does not introduce unintended behavior changes in feefilter round-trip tests.

Security signals we found

01
