Commit message · Rusty Russell

connectd: simplify logic, and add a "reconnected" message.

One issue we have in CI is reconnection races: if an incoming
connection arrives while an outgoing one is negotiated, we close the
outgoing one and issue a disconnect, which fails any connect attempts.

By sending a "reconnected" message instead of disconnect/connect we
can avoid disturbing in-progress connection attempts which happens in CI
quite a bit.

chore: Update python dependencies

I got a bit annoyed by all the "your protobuf gencode is too old"
warnings in downstream packages, so I spent a bit of time updating any
stale dependency and now we're back allowing packages up to the latest
release. That should maximize the compatibility, and allow downstream
packages to chose their own versions, as long as they are
compatible (semantic versioning).

Commit message · ShahanaFarooqui

contrib: Added fixed SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH flag for reproducible ubuntu builds

clnrest's `utoipa-swagger-ui` library has an indirect `rust-embed` dependency which by default includes timestamps in build. It results in non-deterministic build for clnrest. Using environment variable `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` with fixed value will enforce a consistent timestamp for builds.

Also adding the `--locked` flag to ensure the release build uses exact dependencies from Cargo.lock. The `--locked` flag is particularly important for deterministic builds as it prevents Cargo from updating the lockfile.

Fixes #8288.

Changelog-Fixed: Core lightning builds for Ubuntu Focal, Jammy and Noble are deterministic again.

Cargo utilizes `git ls-remote` to resolve git dependencies specified by commit hashes. GitHub only advertises commits that are reachable from branches, tags, or PR references. The `bip353-plugin` was referencing an orphaned commit in the `bitcoin-payment-instructions` dependency that was unreachable through any advertised reference. This can be resolved by installing the tarball release v0.5.0.

So allow this, but *also* check if it's a different currency and skip. This won't happen: you had to manually inject events in a different currency.

plugins: generate certificates with required extensions

Recent versions of urllib3 fail certificate verification if certificates
lack the Authority Key Identifier or Key Usages extensions:

```
SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Missing Authority Key Identifier (_ssl.c:1032)
SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: CA cert does not include key usage extension (_ssl.c:1032)
```

Luckily, rcgen offers parameters in its CertificateParams structure to
add these extensions. Let's use them.

Changelog-Fixed: Certificates auto-generated by grpc-plugin, rest-plugin, and wss-proxy-plugin now include the required Authority Key Identifier and Key Usages extensions.

lightningd: allow account db version 18.

If you have run recent master, upgrade will fail with:

```
Cannot migrate account database version 18
```

The final migration is:

```
/* We used to send anchors to the wallet, but set ignored tag. Now we send
* them to external. */
{SQL("UPDATE chain_events"
" SET account_id = (SELECT id FROM accounts WHERE name = 'external')"
" WHERE account_id = (SELECT id FROM accounts WHERE name = 'wallet')"
" AND ignored = 1"), NULL},
```

Which is harmless (we do that upgrade ourselves on migration, but if it's done already that will have no effect).

AI review queuedlightningd: migrate events from bookkeeper at startup.by Rusty Russell · 52d69df1 · Aug 19, 2025 · 25 filesMessage 73 · AdequateTriage 12Details

lightningd: migrate events from bookkeeper at startup.

We take over the --bookkeeper-dir and --bookkeeper-db options, and
then if we can find the bookkeeper db we extract the records to
initialize our chain_moves and channel_moves tables.

Of course, bookkeeper now needs to not register those options.

When bookkeeper gets invoked the first time, it will reconstruct
everything from listchannelmoves and listcoinmoves. It cannot
preserve manually-added descriptions, so we put those in the datastore
for it ready to go.

Note that the order of onchain_fee changes slightly from the original.
But this is fine.
