The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a small internal refactor in Bitcoin Core's Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction (PSBT) handling. It makes each PSBT input and output aware of which PSBT version it belongs to, currently hard-coded to version 0. The change does not fix a known bug or vulnerability by itself; it appears to lay groundwork for future PSBT version support. There is no evidence in the commit or supplied references that this is a security patch.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as routine refactor. If auditing, verify that follow-up commits use the stored version to enforce version-specific PSBT rules rather than leaving it unused.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant behavioral change visible in diff

02

Constructor asserts version == 0, which could abort on malformed future-version data but does not currently change parsing

03

Refactor touches PSBT deserialization and RPC PSBT creation paths
