The following scripted-diff commit will replace ParseHex("...") with "..."_hex_u8, but this replacement will not work in cases where vectors are needed instead of arrays, and is not ideal in cases where std::byte is accepted.
For example, it is currently necessary to use _hex_v_u8 when calling CScript operator<< because that operator does not currently support std::array or std::byte.
Conversely, it is incorrect to use _hex_v instead of _hex in net_processing.cpp for the MakeAndPushMessage argument, because if the argument is a std::vector it is considered variable-length and serialized with a size prefix, but if the argument is a std::array or Span is it considered fixed length and serialized without a prefix.
By the same logic, it is also safe to change the NUMS_H constant in pubkey.cpp from a std::vector to std::array because it is never serialized.
429ec1aaaa refactor: Rename CTransaction::nVersion to version (Ava Chow)
27e70f1f5b consensus: Store transaction nVersion as uint32_t (Ava Chow)
Pull request description:
Given that the use of a transaction's nVersion is always as an unsigned int, it doesn't make sense to store it as signed and then cast it to unsigned everywhere it is used and displayed.
Since a few alternative implementations have recently been revealed to have made an error with this signedness that would have resulted in consensus failure, I think it makes sense for us to just make this always unsigned to make it clear that the version is treated as unsigned. This would also help us avoid future potential issues with signedness of this value.
I believe that this is safe and does not actually change what transactions would or would not be considered both standard and consensus valid. Within consensus, the only use of the version in consensus is in BIP68 validation which was already casting it to uint32_t. Within policy, although it is used as a signed int for the transaction version number check, I do not think that this change would change standardness. Standard transactions are limited to the range [1, 2]. Negative numbers would have fallen under the < 1 condition, but by making it unsigned, they are still non-standard under the > 2 condition.
Unsigned and signed ints are serialized and unserialized the same way so there is no change in serialization.

In order to ensure that the change of nVersion to a uint32_t in the
previous commit has no effect, rename nVersion to version in this commit
so that reviewers can easily spot if a spot was missed or if there is a
check somewhere whose semantics have changed.
CTxDestination is really our internal representation of an address and
doesn't really have anything to do with standard script types, so move
them to their own file.
Since the kernel library no longer depends on the system file, move it
to the common library instead in accordance to the diagram in
doc/design/libraries.md.
75db62ba4c refactor: Move calculation logic out from `CheckSequenceLocksAtTip()` (Hennadii Stepanov)
3bc434f459 refactor: Add `CalculateLockPointsAtTip()` function (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
This PR is follow up for bitcoin/bitcoin#22677 and bitcoin/bitcoin#23683.
On master (013daed9ac) it is not obvious that `CheckSequenceLocksAtTip()` function can modify its `LockPoints* lp` parameter which leads to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22677#discussion_r762040101.
This PR:
- separates the lockpoint calculate logic from `CheckSequenceLocksAtTip()` function into a new `CalculateLockPointsAtTip()` one
- cleans up the `CheckSequenceLocksAtTip()` function interface
- makes code easier to reason about (hopefully)
