The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a test-only bugfix for the Bitcoin Core QA suite. It changes the rpc_bind functional test so that it skips the non-loopback network binding test when the machine running the tests has no non-loopback IP address available. It does not change any production code that runs on real Bitcoin nodes, wallets, or miners, and therefore has no direct security impact on users of the software.

Recommended action

No security action required. This is a benign QA/test robustness improvement. Reviewers may verify that the skip logic correctly identifies the absence of non-loopback addresses and does not mask real failures.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
