 Under the hood this uses a [PSBT (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction)](psbt.md).

 This constructs a PSBT and prompts your external signer to sign (will fail if it's not connected). If successful, Bitcoin Core finalizes and broadcasts the transaction.

 The `walletdisplayaddress` RPC reuses some code from `getaddressinfo` on the provided address and obtains the inferred descriptor. It then calls `<cmd> --fingerprint=00000000 displayaddress --desc=<descriptor>`.
 
-For external-signer wallets, spending uses `send` or `sendall`. Bitcoin Core builds a PSBT, calls the signer via stdin with `signtx`, and if signatures are sufficient, finalizes and broadcasts the transaction. If the signer is not connected or cancels, the call fails with an error. For fee-bumping on such wallets, use `psbtbumpfee` to involve an external signer.

-`sendtoaddress` and `sendmany` check `inputs->bip32_derivs` to see if any inputs have the same `master_fingerprint` as the signer. If so, it calls `<cmd> --fingerprint=00000000 signtransaction <psbt>`. It waits for the device to return a (partially) signed psbt, tries to finalize it and broadcasts the transaction.
+For external-signer wallets, spending uses `send` or `sendall`, and fee-bumping uses `bumpfee`. Bitcoin Core builds a PSBT, adds key origin information, checks whether any input key origin fingerprint matches the signer, calls `<cmd> --stdin --fingerprint 00000000 --chain <name>`, and sends `signtx <psbt>` over stdin. If signatures are sufficient, it finalizes the transaction and, for broadcasting RPCs, broadcasts it. If signing cannot complete, the call fails with an error. For manual fee-bumping, use `psbtbumpfee` to obtain a PSBT for signing.
