Add amounts to HTLC locators

This commit adds the HTLC amount (in milli-satoshis) to the data structures LDK uses to locate forwarded payments. It is a feature/enhancement change: callers of the PaymentForwarded event can now see per-HTLC amounts when a forward involv…

Add AGENTS.md symlink

This commit adds a symbolic link named AGENTS.md that points to an existing file called CLAUDE.md. It is purely a repository documentation/AI-agent guidance change and does not modify any code, configuration, or security-sensitive files.

Detect nested v1 filesystem data

This commit tightens a safety check in a new version of Lightning Dev Kit's file-based storage. The new store (v2) organizes data into folders-within-folders. Previously, it only rejected old v1 data if a stray file sat directly in the roo…

Add FilesystemStoreV2Error for v1 data detection

This commit is a code-quality improvement, not a security fix. It changes how a new version of a file-storage component reports that it has found leftover data from the older version. Previously it returned a generic I/O error; now it retu…

Skip non-key entries in list_paginated

This commit fixes a consistency bug in a file-based storage component used by Lightning Dev Kit. A paginated listing function was including temporary files and stray directories as if they were real data keys, which could confuse callers, …

Information disclosure: paginated listing could expose internal .tmp filenames and stray directory names to API consumersAvailability/reliability: callers iterating returned keys could fail when later reading entries that are not real persisted keysBehavioral inconsistency between paginated and non-paginated listing APIs in the same store

Get rid of unnecessary clone when constructing page token

This is a minor code cleanup that removes an unnecessary clone of string keys when building a paginated list response. It changes the order of operations so the same data is moved rather than duplicated, with no functional change to behavi…
