Add fuzz tests for onion, route blinding and lightning message codecs (#3282)

This commit only adds new automated fuzz tests for Lightning Network message and onion-payload codecs. It does not change any production code, so it cannot introduce a runtime vulnerability by itself. The tests are designed to catch crashe…

discovery: fix race on remoteUpdateHorizon in GossipSyncer

This commit fixes a race condition in LND's gossip message handling. A race condition occurs when two parts of the program access the same data at the same time without proper coordination. Here, one goroutine could read a peer's 'update h…

multi: add new config option `upfront-shutdown-address`

This commit adds a new optional configuration setting, upfront-shutdown-address, to the Lightning Network Daemon (LND). When set, it tells LND to send cooperative channel-closing funds to a specific address by default. It only takes effect…

This commit changes how LND records when a new Lightning channel's funding transaction is first confirmed on the Bitcoin blockchain. Previously, the exact block height of first confirmation was not reliably saved. Now it is written to the …

plugins/bcli: use -rpcwait to simplify waiting for bitcoind to warm up Replaced custom wait logic with the -rpcwait flag in bitcoin-cli to handle waiting for bitcoind to warm up. This simplifies the code and ensures that errors unrelated to warmup are passed up directly without additional checks. Ch

This change simplifies how Core Lightning's bitcoin-cli plugin waits for the Bitcoin node to finish starting up. It replaces a custom retry loop with bitcoin-cli's built-in -rpcwait flag. The main effect is cleaner code and slightly differ…
