routerrpc: dont query for the channel capacity

During route retrieval don't query for the channel capacity. We
default to the static incomingAmt of the route. That was already
done previously when the channel was closed or private. The
channel capacity has been deprecated for quite a while so it is
acceptable to avoid the performance hit querying the graph db.

In the next release this field will be removed.

sqldb: optimise payment index layout in new migration 13

Since migration 10 is already merged into master it cannot be edited.
Add a new migration (000013_payments_index_improvements) that carries
forward two index improvements:

- Drop idx_htlc_attempt_index on payment_htlc_attempts(attempt_index)
and idx_route_hops_htlc_attempt_index on
payment_route_hops(htlc_attempt_index). Both are redundant with
existing UNIQUE constraints and only add write/maintenance overhead.

- Add idx_htlc_payment_id_attempt_time on
payment_htlc_attempts(payment_id, attempt_time) to optimise batched
attempt reads that filter by payment_id and order by attempt_time
(FetchHtlcAttemptsForPayments).

- Add idx_htlc_resolutions_type_attempt_index on
payment_htlc_attempt_resolutions(resolution_type, attempt_index) to
optimise the failed-attempt cleanup path that filters by
resolution_type before joining on attempt_index
(DeleteFailedAttempts).

multi: remove payment tombstone

The invoice tombstone acts as a system wide kv db tombstone so
there is no need for a specific payment tombstone. Moreover a
TODO is added to redesign the current setting of the invoice
tombstone because it is also fragile to crashes after
the tombstone is set and the sql transaction of the migration
fails to commit.

Additionally the missing cleanup calls are added in case we return
early because of an error.

input: add template vs builder byte-for-byte equivalence tests

Add regression tests that compare every ScriptTemplate-based function
against the original ScriptBuilder implementations extracted from git
history. This ensures the template migration produces identical script
bytes for all 22 script types (segwit v0 + taproot).

The legacy builder functions are kept as private test helpers in
script_utils_legacy_test.go, extracted verbatim from the pre-template
commit.

The changes to the scripts are pretty mechanic: we avoid using `OP_DROP`

This commit updates several software building blocks (dependencies) used by the Lightning Network Daemon (LND), most notably the gRPC networking library from version 1.73.0 to 1.79.1, plus related Google and Go standard-library packages. The commit message says the new versions include bug fixes, but does not say any of those bugs are security issues. Because the diff only shows version number changes and no code changes, we cannot confirm from this commit alone that a specific vulnerability is being fixed. It is best treated as a routine maintenance update that may incidentally close known bugs in upstream libraries.

mod+multi: bump neutrino to v0.16.2, btcwallet to 70a94ea39e9c

In this commit, we update our two core chain backend dependencies:
neutrino is bumped from v0.16.1 to v0.16.2, and btcwallet is updated
to commit 70a94ea39e9c (a pre-release past v0.16.17).

The updated btcwallet changes the `chain.Interface` `Start` method
signature from `Start() error` to `Start(context.Context) error`. The
same change was made to neutrino's `ChainService.Start`. We update all
call sites and interface implementations across the codebase to pass a
`context.Background()` at non-test call sites, and `t.Context()` in
tests.

The affected packages are: chainntnfs/bitcoindnotify, chainreg,
config_builder, lnmock, lntest/unittest, lnwallet/btcwallet,
lnwallet/test, and routing/chainview.

AI analysis · Low 32/100

This commit updates two core software building blocks (neutrino and btcwallet) used by the Lightning Network Daemon (LND). The main visible change is that the 'Start' method of these building blocks now requires a context parameter, so the LND code is adjusted to pass one. The commit also pulls in newer versions of many supporting libraries. There is no direct evidence in the commit message or diff that this fixes a specific security vulnerability; it looks like a routine dependency and API-signature update. However, because it bumps chain-backend and cryptographic libraries, it could indirectly include security fixes from those upstream projects.

cmd/commands: add --include_log flag to getdebuginfo CLI

Add an --include_log boolean flag to the getdebuginfo and
encryptdebugpackage commands. When set, the log file content is included
in the response. The encryptdebugpackage command description is updated
to reflect the new default behavior.

rpcserver: skip log reading when include_log flag is not set

By default, GetDebugInfo now returns only the configuration map. The log
file is only read and included when the include_log flag is set to true,
avoiding the cost of reading large log files when only config data is
needed.

Lower-priorityscripts/bw-compat: use docker logs for log collectionby ziggie · 2b4dc4ea · Mar 5, 2026 · 1 fileMessage 73 · AdequateTriage 0Details

scripts/bw-compat: use docker logs for log collection

Switch collect_logs from docker cp to docker logs to reliably capture
container output. The previous approach used docker cp to copy lnd log
files from inside named volumes, which silently fails in CI — the
directory gets created and the success echo prints, but no files are
ever copied, causing upload-artifact to report "No files were found".

docker logs reads directly from Docker's captured stdout/stderr buffer,
bypassing the volume entirely, and works as long as the container exists.
