What changed, and why it matters
This commit only changes wording in documentation comments and one inline code comment. It renames 'Secp256k1' to 'secp256k1' and expands the shorthand 'secp' to 'secp256k1' for consistency. No executable code, logic, cryptography, or APIs were modified, so there is no security impact.
No action required; this is a non-functional documentation cleanup.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff is limited to rustdoc comments (///) and a normal comment (//) in two files: bitcoin/examples/ecdsa-psbt.rs and bitcoin/src/crypto/key.rs. It standardizes references to the secp256k1 library/crate to lowercase and avoids the ‘Secp256k1’ type-name spelling in prose. No function bodies, signatures, types, trait implementations, dependencies, or build configuration changed.
