A quantum resistance script only using op_ctv/op_txhash and no new signatures

The discussion focuses on important distinctions between two types of script operations, specifically regarding P2TR and P2TSH. When considering the operation in P2TR, it is crucial to understand that there must be a NUMS point for the internal key. This key undergoes a modification process, known as tweaking, to become the P2TR key. The significance of this process lies in its vulnerability to attacks by quantum adversaries, highlighting a potential security concern within the P2TR infrastructure.

On the other hand, if the script's intended operation relies on P2TSH, the previously stated concern about quantum adversary attacks on the P2TR key becomes irrelevant. This indicates that the choice between using P2TR or P2TSH has substantive implications for the script's security and functionality, particularly in how it handles TXHASH or CTV locks. This differentiation underscores the necessity for precision in selecting the appropriate script operation type to mitigate specific vulnerabilities, such as those presented by quantum computing capabilities.
