It may be that you get `No script found for input #0.` because your

```
    .addInput({
        hash: unspent.txId,
        index: unspent.vout,
    })

```

omits the details of the previous transaction from which the library can construct the unlocking script?

Very very sadly, the only documentation for bitcoinjs appears to be the [examples](https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib/blob/master/test/integration/transactions.spec.ts). What I believe may be the relevant example has a `nonWitnessUtxo:` data value specified.

```
psbt.addInput({
  // if hash is string, txid, if hash is Buffer, is reversed compared to txid
  hash: '7d067b4a697a09d2c3cff7d4d9506c9955e93bff41bf82d439da7d030382bc3e',
  index: 0,
  sequence: 0xffffffff, // These are defaults. This line is not needed.

  // non-segwit inputs now require passing the whole previous tx as Buffer
  nonWitnessUtxo: Buffer.from(
    '0200000001f9f34e95b9d5c8abcd20fc5bd4a825d1517be62f0f775e5f36da944d9' +
      '452e550000000006b483045022100c86e9a111afc90f64b4904bd609e9eaed80d48' +
      'ca17c162b1aca0a788ac3526f002207bb79b60d4fc6526329bf18a77135dc566020' +
      '9e761da46e1c2f1152ec013215801210211755115eabf846720f5cb18f248666fec' +
      '631e5e1e66009ce3710ceea5b1ad13ffffffff01' +
      // value in satoshis (Int64LE) = 0x015f90 = 90000
      '905f010000000000' +
      // scriptPubkey length
      '19' +
      // scriptPubkey
      '76a9148bbc95d2709c71607c60ee3f097c1217482f518d88ac' +
      // locktime
      '00000000',
    'hex',
  ),

```

That second comment looks important.

Obviously you'd fetch that prior transaction data rather than including it as literal constants.

If I were using bitcoinjs-lib, I would try to inspect exactly what is in tx.toHex() value just before it is broadcast.
