Parse an HD-wallet derivation path, count hardened steps and recognize common BIP44/49/84/86 Bitcoin profiles without deriving keys.
How it works
The analyzer parses the textual derivation path only. Apostrophe, h or H marks a hardened child. It recognizes purpose 44', 49', 84' and 86' as common Bitcoin profiles and reports each path level.
The formula
For BIP44-style paths: m / purpose' / coin_type' / account' / change / address_index. A hardened index i is encoded as i + 2^31.
Worked example
m/84'/0'/0'/0/0 is recognized as BIP84 / P2WPKH: purpose 84', Bitcoin coin type 0', account 0', external chain 0, address index 0.
