  "summary": "This PR unifies the error message hint returned when raw transaction deserialization fails across eight RPC methods. It defines a shared constant `TX_DECODE_ERROR_HINT` in `src/rpc/util.h` and updates array-based RPCs (`generateblock`, `testmempoolaccept`, `submitpackage`, `combinerawtransaction`) to report the failing transaction index rather than repeating raw hex.",
