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

Summary:

  • Adds a focused "Unconfirmed Transaction Risk Analysis" subsection to the payment verification guide.
  • Explains that mempool observation is local relay-policy evidence, not network consensus.
  • Distinguishes unconfirmed conflicts from chain-committed double spends.
  • Covers stuck low-fee transactions, RBF/CPFP fee-bumping limits, and why CLTV/CSV do not create instant settlement.

Verification:

  • git diff --check
  • python -m sphinx -E -b html . _build/html

Bounty note:

  • This PR intentionally does not include public payout information. I can provide bounty/payment details privately if this submission is selected.
