Fix: reject fake scids with invalid vout

This commit fixes a validation bug in how Lightning Dev Kit checks 'fake' short channel IDs (SCIDs) used for routing tricks like phantom and intercept payments. The old check compared only the lowest byte of the vout field, so an attacker …

Trivial: use full path in test macros

This is a minor code cleanup change inside test helper macros. It replaces short internal names like `_reload_node` with fully qualified paths such as `$crate::ln::functional_test_utils::_reload_node`. This only affects how test macros res…

Drop Deref indirection for NodeSigner

This commit is a code cleanup change in the Lightning Dev Kit Rust library. It removes an extra layer of pointer-like wrapping (called Deref indirection) around the NodeSigner type, which is responsible for node-level cryptographic operati…

Drop Deref indirection for EntropySource

This commit is a large internal cleanup in the rust-lightning codebase. It removes an extra layer of pointer indirection (the Deref trait) from how randomness sources are passed around, replacing it with a direct EntropySource trait bound.…

Large refactor touching entropy/randomness interfaces across many modulesAddition of a blanket trait impl for EntropySource over Deref targetsNo changes to randomness generation, signing, or secret handling logic

Expose process_pending_update_add_htlcs in tests

This commit only changes how an internal test helper is exposed. It renames a private test-only function and makes it callable from integration tests, with no effect on normal production code. There is no security issue.

Simplify test_trampoline_unblinded_receive

This commit is a test-only cleanup. It simplifies a single unit test by removing unused setup code and replacing hardcoded cryptographic secrets with deterministic test helpers. There is no change to production code, no security fix, and n…

Make BlindedMessagePath creation infallible

This commit changes how LDK builds private 'blinded' communication paths so that the creation process can no longer fail in normal use. Previously, a bad random number could cause path creation to return an error. Now the code will panic (…
