The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a warning when a user tries to load a Bitcoin transaction that sends money to an unusual or unrecognised address/script type. Previously, Sparrow would silently open such transactions and not show those outputs in its visual transaction diagram, which could mislead a user into signing or broadcasting a transaction without realising where some funds were going. Now the user is warned and asked whether to proceed.

Recommended action

Users should upgrade to the version containing this commit to benefit from the warning. When loading unfamiliar transactions, review all outputs in the transaction tree before signing or broadcasting, especially when the new warning appears.
