The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes how GitHub Actions automation is configured. It replaces floating version tags like @v5 with exact commit hashes (plus a comment showing the version). This is a standard hardening practice to prevent a compromised third-party action from silently updating under the same tag. It does not change any of the project's actual Bitcoin/Rust code, so it cannot directly introduce or fix a vulnerability in the library users depend on.

Recommended action

No action required for downstream users. Reviewers should verify the pinned SHAs match the claimed tags on the respective upstream repositories, then merge as a routine hardening improvement.

Security signals we found

01

CI-only change with no source-code modifications

02

Pins third-party GitHub Actions to immutable commit hashes

03

Reduces risk of tag-retagging or compromised action updates

04

No functional code, API, or cryptographic changes

refactor(bip32): Xpub child tweak api

This commit is a straightforward API refactor in the BIP-32 (Bitcoin key derivation) code. It replaces a function that returned a raw secret key and chain code with one that returns a new structured type called XpubChildTweak. The actual c…

refactor(bip32): rename Xpub and Xpriv derivation methods

This is a routine code cleanup in a Bitcoin library. It renames key-derivation methods on extended public and private keys (Xpub/Xpriv) to clearer names and removes old aliases. There is no security bug being fixed and no new vulnerability…
