  "summary": "Documents block storage behavior and process-abort preconditions in the libbitcoinkernel C API header. It clarifies that btck_chainstate_manager_process_block treats passed blocks as requested (storing them without unrequested-block filtering) and warns callers taking blocks from untrusted sources to perform those checks themselves. It also documents preconditions that trigger process aborts in btck_precomputed_transaction_data_create and btck_chainstate_manager_import_blocks.",
  "problem": "Consumers of the libbitcoinkernel C API lack documentation on undocumented abort preconditions and unexpected block persistence behavior. Without this documentation, external applications could inadvertently trigger fatal aborts or persist low-work or pruned blocks received from untrusted peers.",
  "card": "Documents block storage behavior and process-abort preconditions in the libbitcoinkernel C API header. Callers of btck_chainstate_manager_process_block are warned that blocks are processed as requested and stored to disk without standard work or tip checks, requiring external callers using untrusted sources to filter them first. It also documents abort preconditions for mismatched spent outputs in transaction precomputation and reentrant calls in block importing. The pull request is documentation-only, adding 11 lines to bitcoinkernel.h.",

   "Commit dda2c1f325 notes: 'btck_precomputed_transaction_data_create aborts when spent_outputs is set and its length differs from the number of inputs. A nested btck_chainstate_manager_import_blocks call on the same chainstate manager also aborts. The header states neither.'",
   "PR description notes that the author verified both aborts with a small test program against the library and that btck_chainstate_manager_process_block sets force_processing, altering what gets written to disk."
