Summary

  • expands the Payment Processing guide with a zero-confirmation risk analysis subsection
  • documents why mempool visibility is not consensus and how unconfirmed conflicts differ from chain-committed double spends
  • covers stuck transactions, RBF/CPFP fee bumping, and why locktime/CLTV/CSV constraints do not provide instant finality

Validation

  • git diff --check
  • make html attempted locally, but the existing environment is missing sphinxbootstrap4theme
  • pip install -r requirements.txt attempted in a local venv, but PyPI access failed with SSL EOF errors

Refs bitcoin-dot-org/Bitcoin.org#1216.
