From 8d41b76db3e4233ed391a31b1e743533cb43c43f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 20:59:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat(consensus): add pre-hardfork transaction freeze for HF5 Rejects non-coinbase transactions during the 60-block window before HF5 activation. Coinbase transactions are exempt. Implements IsPreHardforkFreeze and ValidateTransactionInBlock.
