The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds new serialization/deserialization code for the Bitcoin network 'magic' bytes (the 4-byte identifier at the start of P2P messages). It is a routine feature addition that mirrors existing consensus encoding support. There is no indication of a security bug, fix, or vulnerability in the change itself.

Recommended action

No security action required. Review as normal code-quality/ API-consistency change.
