The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds optional support for the `arbitrary` crate, a Rust fuzz-testing helper, across several data types in the rust-bitcoin library. It does not change normal runtime behavior; the new code is only compiled when the optional `arbitrary` feature is enabled. There is no direct security vulnerability in the diff, but it slightly expands the library's dependency tree and public API surface for users who opt into the feature.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Reviewers may want to confirm that the `arbitrary` feature is documented and that downstream users understand it is intended for fuzz testing only. If supply-chain risk is a concern, verify the `arbitrary` crate version is pinned/expected and consider auditing future feature-gated additions.

Security signals we found

01

Addition of optional third-party dependency (`arbitrary` 1.4.1)

02

Expansion of conditional public API surface via new trait implementations

03

Use of fallible constructors inside `Arbitrary::arbitrary` with error mapping

04

No validation logic changes for non-arbitrary builds

05

No unsafe code, no cryptographic operations, no serialization format changes
