transactions – What’s the hashTypeCode?

After a transaction is serialised prepared for signature or signature verification, a 4 byte hashTypeCode have to be added (step 9 right here). Because it’s derived from a single byte, it has 256 doable values.

What’s the Hash Sort Code?

What are its origins?

What’s it used for?

Have there ever been proposals to switch or prolong its that means?

My understanding is that the hashTypeCode signifies which subset of bytes in a transaction is signed. Within the beneath (randomly chosen) instance transaction, what precisely could be signed for every of the doable hashTypeCode values?
