gossip: Don’t reset channel on stale annoncement

This change fixes a minor operational bug in Core Lightning's gossip handling. Previously, when a stale channel announcement arrived after a channel was spliced (a process that spends the original funding output), the software treated it a…

splice: Fix weight calculations & use opening feerate

This commit fixes how Core Lightning estimates the size (and therefore the required mining fee) of Bitcoin transactions used in channel splicing. Before, the code underestimated input weights for common 2-of-2 multisig splicing inputs and …

Incorrect transaction weight estimation could lead to insufficient fees, causing transactions to stall or be rejectedUse of 'max feerate' as a fee cap could permit overpayment or unsafe fee acceptance; replaced with opening feerateSplicing involves collaborative transaction construction where one peer's miscalculation can affect the other's funds

reestablish: Send announcement sigs when asked

This commit changes how Core Lightning handles reconnection with another Lightning node. It adds a way for the peer to ask for 'announcement signatures' again after reconnecting, and makes the node resend them when asked. This is part of a…

splice: Fix cross-channel splices

This commit fixes a bug in Core Lightning's splicing feature where a transaction input could be incorrectly removed during a 'cross-channel splice' because the software compared a newly-added signature hash flag. The fix tells the comparis…

splice: Add field to DB to track if we’ve sent sigs

This commit adds a new bookkeeping flag, 'i_sent_sigs', to track whether a splice signature has already been sent. It changes how the node decides that question: previously it inspected the active PSBT, but now it records the fact explicit…

State-machine flag added to prevent duplicate or missing signature events during splice negotiationDatabase migration added to persist signature-sent state across restartsWire protocol and struct changes extend trusted internal IPC only, not a public network protocol

psbt: don’t accumlate 0 lenth widtness data

This commit fixes a small bug in how Core Lightning builds Bitcoin witness data from a PSBT. Previously, when a witness item had a declared length of zero, the code would still try to copy data from a pointer that could be NULL. The fix sk…
