The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds support for a new Bitcoin peer-to-peer message type called `sendtxrcncl` (transaction reconciliation, part of the Erlay protocol). It is a routine protocol feature addition: it wires up encoding and decoding for the new message so the library can send and receive it. There is no indication in the commit of a security bug, fix, or vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Review the corresponding `message_erlay::SendTxRcnCl` implementation for correct parsing limits as part of normal code review, but this commit itself does not introduce or fix a security issue.

01

No security-relevant signals in commit message or diff.
