Account for message type prefix len in prevtx length enforcement

This commit fixes a small but real accounting bug in how rust-lightning checks whether a previous transaction (prevtx) attached to a funding input will make the resulting Lightning wire message too large. The code previously compared the m…

Retransmit splice_locked for 0-conf channels missing tx_signatures

This commit fixes a bug in the Lightning Dev Kit where, after a disconnection, a node could fail to retransmit a 'splice_locked' message to a peer that was still waiting for transaction signatures. Without this retransmission, the two peer…

Handle missing splice tx_signatures on reestablish

This commit fixes a bug in LDK's Lightning channel reconnection logic after a splice (a way to resize a channel's on-chain funds). If one peer had already received the splice signatures but the other had not, and then they disconnected and…

Make SpliceFundingFailed::contribution non-optional

This commit is a small internal cleanup in the Lightning Dev Kit code. It removes an unnecessary 'Option' wrapper from a data field called `contribution` inside `SpliceFundingFailed`, because that field is always created from a real value.…

Check channel is live while handling counterparty tx_init_rbf

This commit adds a safety check in the Lightning Dev Kit's code that handles a message called tx_init_rbf, which is used to propose bumping the fee on a channel's on-chain transaction. Before this change, the code did not verify that the c…

Prefer tx_abort over disconnection for inability to RBF

This change makes a Lightning node send a 'tx_abort' message instead of disconnecting from a peer when an RBF (fee-bump) request cannot be honored during a splice. The goal is to avoid unnecessary reconnections and keep the channel usable.…
