rename GenericScript to Script

This commit is a straightforward internal rename in the rust-bitcoin library. It changes the names 'GenericScript' and 'GenericScriptBuf' to the simpler 'Script' and 'ScriptBuf' across many files. There are no changes to how the code behav…

primitives: split TapScript and TapScriptBuf from script

This commit is a routine internal code reorganization in the rust-bitcoin library. It introduces separate type names, TapScript and TapScriptBuf, for scripts used in Taproot spending paths, replacing the more generic Script/ScriptBuf names…

primitives: delete Script and ScriptSig

This commit is a routine internal cleanup in the rust-bitcoin library. It removes the old untyped Script and ScriptBuf aliases and finishes switching all remaining code to use specific tagged script types (such as ScriptPubKey, ScriptSig, …

primitives: split WitnessScript and WitnessScriptBuf from script

This commit is a large internal refactoring in the rust-bitcoin library. It introduces a new dedicated type, WitnessScript, for Segwit v0 witness scripts and uses it wherever the code previously used the generic Script type for that purpos…

Type-system hardening: dedicated WitnessScript type reduces accidental misuse of script kindsAuthor-documented 'mild abuse' of WitnessScript for BIP143 scriptCode templateNo runtime validation or cryptographic logic changes observed

This commit is a routine internal refactoring in the rust-bitcoin library. It introduces separate types for transaction input scripts (scriptSig) and other scripts, moving some helper methods between extension traits. There is no indicatio…

primitives: split ScriptPubKey and ScriptPubKeyBuf from generic script

This commit is a large internal refactoring in the rust-bitcoin library. It introduces a new dedicated type, ScriptPubKey, for the scripts that appear in transaction outputs, and updates many examples and internal functions to use it. The …

primitives: split RedeemScript and RedeemScriptBuf from script

This commit is a code-quality and type-safety refactor in the rust-bitcoin library. It introduces a dedicated RedeemScript type so that P2SH redeem scripts can no longer be accidentally confused with other script types (such as witness scr…

bitcoin: move hex and PSBT decoding from ScriptBufExt to GenericScriptBufExt

This is a routine internal code reorganization in the rust-bitcoin library. It moves hex decoding and PSBT serialization helpers from a trait that only applied to the standard script buffer into a more generic trait so the same helpers wor…

run cargo fmt

This commit is purely a code-formatting cleanup. It runs the Rust formatter (cargo fmt) across six files, changing only whitespace, line breaks, and import order. No program logic, security behavior, or functionality was altered.
