taproot-primitives: Add crate externs for public API types
Whenever a crate has types in its public API that come from another
crate, that other crate should be re-exported from the crate root.
taproot-primitives uses types from arbitrary, hashes, secp and serde
in its public API, and thus all of these should be re-exported.
Re-export arbitrary, hashes, secp256k1 and serde from the crate root.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a routine Rust crate maintenance change. It makes several underlying libraries publicly visible from the taproot-primitives crate root so that downstream users can refer to those types more conveniently. There is no security issue here.
No action required. This is a benign API improvement.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change adds public extern crate re-exports (arbitrary, hashes, secp256k1, serde) to taproot-primitives/src/lib.rs. This follows the Rust ecosystem convention that crates exposing another crate’s types in their public API should re-export that dependency. It is purely an API ergonomics/visibility change with no functional, cryptographic, or memory-safety implications.
