reckless-rpc: increase initial buffer size

This commit simply enlarges two memory buffers used to capture text output from a plugin installation helper. It is a routine capacity tweak, not a security fix. There is no indication of a vulnerability, crash, or attack path.

reckless: store source locations as correct type

This commit fixes three places in the 'reckless' plugin-installer tool where a file path was stored as a Path object instead of as a plain string. The fix converts the path to a string before assigning it. This is a type-correctness bug th…

Type mismatch between pathlib.Path and str in source location fieldPotential runtime TypeError in string-context usage of source_locFix is in a plugin installer/management tool (reckless), which has elevated filesystem interaction

reckless: reduce uv verbosity and avoid flooding output

This commit fixes a bug in Core Lightning's 'reckless' plugin installer tool. The bug was that very verbose dependency-resolution output from the 'uv' Python package manager was being dumped all at once as JSON to the reckless-rpc plugin, …

Denial-of-service/reliability concern: large JSON output could overwhelm plugin input bufferOutput rate-limiting added to mitigate floodingVerbose dependency-resolution output removed to reduce data volume

pytest: add reckless regex search

This commit only changes test code. It refactors how the reckless plugin-manager tests search through command output, replacing exact string checks with regular-expression searches and adding a small helper class. There is no change to pro…

reckless: fix installer search

This is a small bug fix in a helper tool called 'reckless' that installs plugins for Core Lightning. The tool tries several possible file names to find a plugin's main entry point. Before this fix, if an installer had fewer possible names …

reckless: correct direct install from local repo subdirectory

This is a small bugfix in a helper tool called 'reckless' that installs plugins for Core Lightning. The change fixes how the tool handles installing a plugin directly from a subdirectory inside a local git repository. Previously, the tool …

pytest: refactor reckless check_stderr

This commit is a minor internal cleanup of a test helper. It moves an existing stderr-checking function into a class method and slightly expands the list of harmless warning strings that tests ignore. It does not change any production code…
