One of the four fixes asked for in the closing comment on
#619 — deprecation, not an alias, so nothing
breaks.

The second TransactionOutput model. Please deprecate it in favor of TxOut instead of aliasing it, so it is not a breaking change.

The problem

Two models of a transaction output are public from the entry point under names that give no hint
which is which:

	TransactionOutput	TxOut
address	AddressEras	Address
value	amount: Value	assets: Assets
shape	a Shelley and a Babbage class	one class for both eras
used by	nothing in the builders	TransactionBody, the builders, the sdk

They reject each other, and the error says Expected TransactionOutput, actual [toString threw]
about a value that is a TransactionOutput — the other one.

Contents

• packages/evolution/src/TransactionOutput.ts — @deprecated on the module and both classes,
  pointing at TxOut. No removal, no re-point, no alias: every caller holding a
  BabbageTransactionOutput keeps working, and new code is pointed the right way.
• packages/evolution/test/TransactionOutput.deprecated.test.ts — pins the claim the note makes,
  so it cannot quietly stop being true. ⚠️ It passes before and after, by design: this PR
  changes documentation, not behaviour, and the test is a regression pin on the rejection, not a
  demonstration of a fix.
• A patch changeset.

Verification

All six CI tasks run locally off ci.yml against this base (lint, type-check, test, build,
check:dts, docgen): green. packages/evolution: 1916 passed, 75 skipped, 0 failed.
devnet's suite needs Docker and was not run here.

Thanks, deprecating it is the right call, and the comparison table matches the code.

Three changes before merge:

• The module-level @deprecated makes docgen skip the whole module (it filters on !module.deprecated), so the TransactionOutput page would disappear from the docs site. Please keep the note and drop that tag.
• Editors flag only the two classes. The TransactionOutput union stays unflagged because the export type TransactionOutput beside it has no tag, and the decoders and encoders (fromCBORHex, FromCDDL and the rest) have none. TypeScript can't deprecate a namespace re-export, so a tag on each export is the only way to reach users.
• The test passes without the change, since the change is comments only, and its decode case returns Left for any output. Please drop the file.

Wallets.ts:161 still decodes CIP-30 UTxOs with TransactionOutput.fromCBORBytes. Moving it to TxOut can be a follow-up.
