Add `prev_ouput` to `NegotiatedTxInput` for SIGHASH_ALL & key-spend checks

This commit adds the previous transaction output (the 'prev_output', which includes the scriptPubKey and amount) to an internal data structure called NegotiatedTxInput used during interactive transaction construction in Lightning. The comm…

Introduce `FundingTransactionReadyForSignatures` event

This commit adds a new event that asks the wallet/user to sign inputs they contributed to a jointly-built Lightning channel funding transaction. It also changes when LDK sends its own signatures so that signatures are only provided after t…

Verify the holder provided valid witnesses and uses SIGHASH_ALL

This commit adds verification of Bitcoin transaction signatures that a user (the 'holder') provides when building a Lightning channel funding transaction. Before this change, the code trusted the holder's supplied witness data more blindly…

Allow dead_code for `Keys` struct

This commit adds a single compiler annotation to suppress an unused-code warning for a test-only helper struct. It does not change any runtime behavior, cryptographic logic, or network handling. There is no security relevance.

Fix cloned_ref_to_slice_refs

This commit only changes test code. It replaces a few instances of cloning a test value to make a single-element slice with a helper that borrows the value instead. This avoids an unnecessary clone in unit tests and has no effect on the pr…

Fix useless concat

This commit removes unnecessary uses of the `concat!` macro in test code. The `concat!` macro was being called with only a single string literal, which has no effect. The change is purely cosmetic and only affects unit tests in a serializa…

Allow unused imports for traits used in macros

This commit only adds Rust compiler annotations to silence false 'unused import' warnings for traits that are actually used inside macros. It does not change any program logic, behavior, or security boundary.

Fix clippy::mismatched-lifetime-syntaxes

This commit is a code-cleanup change only. It updates Rust lifetime syntax in type signatures to satisfy a new Clippy lint. There is no functional change, no bug fix, and no security impact.
