  "summary": "This pull request introduces `util::ResultPtr`, a wrapper template over `util::Result` tailored for pointer types such as `std::unique_ptr`. It enables single dereferencing (`*result`, `result->member`) instead of nested dereferencing (`**result`) and evaluates to false in boolean contexts if the contained pointer is null. It also updates several call sites in the network address manager and wallet loader interfaces to use the new wrapper.",
  "problem": "Using `util::Result` with smart pointers is awkward and error-prone because callers must dereference twice to access pointee members. Additionally, checking a result in a boolean context evaluates to true if no error occurred even when the contained pointer is null, which can lead to unexpected null-pointer dereferences (issue #26004).",
