The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a pure code-style cleanup. It removes unnecessary 'const' keywords from function parameter declarations in header files across the Bitcoin Core codebase and adds a clang-tidy rule to prevent them from being reintroduced. The 'const' on a value parameter in a declaration has no effect on callers and does not change program behavior, security, or runtime semantics. There is no vulnerability here.

Recommended action

No security action needed. This is a safe refactoring commit. Reviewers can verify that all changes are limited to removing top-level const from value parameters and that the clang-tidy rule is correctly added.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
