This commit only adds text to the project's CHANGELOG, summarizing what was already fixed in prior 0.1.x patch releases. It does not change any code. However, the changelog text itself discloses several serious security bugs that were fixed in those earlier releases, including vulnerabilities that could allow loss of funds, denial of service, and forced channel closures. Because the commit is a documentation-only disclosure of already-patched security issues, the code change itself is harmless, but the changelog content is highly security-relevant.

Don't broadcast manual-funded chan closing txn on HTLC timeouts
In 6c5ef049b8d0ec174d7368d48b7b429efffb4a61 we prevented broadcast of the commitment transactions if the funding transaction has not yet appeared on-chain for manual-broadcast channels to avoid spurious bumps or unbroadcastable transactions. However, we missed the case where a channel is closed due to HTLCs timing out.
Here we fix that by doing the same broadcast-gating when automatically force-closing a channel due to HTLC timeouts.

second-pass: broader security terminology
AI analysis · Low 44/100
This patch fixes a follow-up bug in the Lightning Dev Kit's channel monitor. For channels where the user manually broadcasts the funding transaction, the software could incorrectly try to broadcast a force-closing transaction before the funding transaction had actually appeared on-chain—specifically when HTLC payments timed out. This could lead to wasted transaction fees, failed broadcasts, or unnecessary on-chain activity. The fix applies the same safety gate already used for normal commitment broadcasts to the HTLC-timeout force-close path.

This is a small internal cleanup in the code that handles Lightning channel closure broadcasts. It moves an early-exit check earlier in a function so that, in a special 'manual broadcast' mode, the code skips unnecessary setup work when it already knows it will not actually broadcast anything yet. The change does not alter the final return values or the conditions under which broadcasting happens; it only avoids doing some now-pointless work. There is no direct security fix here, but it reduces the chance of future logic mistakes by making the intent clearer.

AI analysis · Moderate 58/100
This commit fixes a design limitation in Lightning Dev Kit's handling of zero-fee commitment (0FC) channels. In those channels, on-chain transactions must follow Bitcoin's version-3 (TRUC) rules, which impose strict size limits: a parent commitment transaction can be at most 10,000 vB, and its child anchor/HTLC transactions can be at most 1,000 vB. Previously, LDK could try to claim too many HTLCs in a single transaction or select too many wallet inputs for an anchor transaction, producing a transaction that the network would reject. The patch splits large HTLC claims into multiple smaller transactions and teaches the coin-selection algorithm to respect a maximum transaction weight. It also updates the public API for wallet coin selection to accept a new max_tx_weight parameter. This is a correctness/robustness improvement rather than a remote-exploitable vulnerability.

Always broadcast closing txn in monitor manually broadcast
In 6c5ef049b8d0ec174d7368d48b7b429efffb4a61 we prevented broadcast of the commitment transactions if the funding transaction has not yet appeared on-chain for manual-broadcast channels to avoid spurious bumps or unbroadcastable transactions. It also updated the documentation on `ChanelMonitor::broadcast_latest_holder_commitment_txn` to explicitly state that it will override the manual-broadcast state and broadcast the latest commitment anyway.
However, 4131680db4c9ff934e83940be1158f8b1cc0f8cf accidentally reverted this behavior by updating `generate_claimable_outpoints_and_watch_outputs`, which is caled by `broadcast_latest_holder_commitment_txn` to also refuse to broadcast if funding has not been seen on chain.
Here we fix this, passing through the `require_funding_seen` bool to allow `broadcast_latest_holder_commitment_txn` to broadcast immediately.

This commit fixes a regression in the Lightning Dev Kit's channel monitor. A previous change accidentally made it impossible to manually force-broadcast a closing transaction for certain channels before the funding transaction was seen on-chain. The fix restores the intended behavior: when a user explicitly asks to broadcast the latest commitment transaction, the monitor will do so immediately, while other automatic paths still wait for the funding transaction to appear on-chain to avoid creating invalid or premature transactions.
Lower-priorityEnsure we call `send_data` when we need to pause/unpause readsby Matt Corallo · 77cbb61f · Oct 28, 2025 · 1 fileMessage 73 · AdequateLow 49Details
Commit message · Matt Corallo
Ensure we call `send_data` when we need to pause/unpause reads
In the previous commit, we moved the `send_data` `resume_read` flag to also indicate that we should pause if its unset. This should work as we mostly only set the flag when we're sending but may cause us to fail to pause if we are blocked on gossip validation but `awaiting_write_event` wasn't set as we had previously failed to fully flush a buffer (which no longer implies read-pause).
Here we make this logic much more robust by ensuring we always make at least one `send_data` call in `do_attempt_write_data` if we need to pause read (or unpause read).

This commit fixes a logic bug in how Lightning Dev Kit tells the network layer to pause or resume reading data from a peer. Previously, after a partial buffer flush, the code could fail to tell the socket driver to pause reads even though it was busy validating gossip messages. The fix ensures at least one 'send_data' call is made whenever the desired read-pause state does not match the last state we told the driver about. This is a robustness fix in backpressure handling, not a clear-cut remote exploit.

This patch fixes a logic gap in Lightning Dev Kit's channel monitoring. When a user manually chooses not to broadcast their side of a new channel immediately, the code was supposed to queue that broadcast for once the funding transaction is seen on the blockchain. Before this fix, the queueing did not happen, so the holder's commitment transaction might never be broadcast automatically. That could leave funds at risk if the counterparty misbehaved after the channel opened.

This change fixes a logic bug in Lightning Dev Kit's channel monitor. When a user manually broadcasts their own funding transaction (rather than letting LDK do it automatically), the software could previously try to broadcast a commitment transaction before the funding transaction had actually appeared on the blockchain. Because commitment transactions spend the funding output, broadcasting them too early would fail mempool validation and could generate unnecessary fee-bumping notifications for transactions that cannot yet confirm. The patch suppresses automatic commitment broadcasts until the funding transaction is observed on-chain, while still allowing an explicit override via a public API method.

Add manual-funding broadcast tracking to ChannelMonitor
Adds `is_manual_broadcast` and `funding_seen_onchain` flags to track whether the channel uses manual funding broadcasts and whether we've seen the funding tx confirm.
This enables deferring holder commitment broadcasts until after the funding tx is actually broadcast. For example, in LSPS2 with client_trusts_lsp=true, the LSP may defer broadcasting the funding tx until the client claims an HTLC, so we need to avoid broadcasting commitments that reference outputs that don't exist yet.

This commit adds internal bookkeeping to LDK's channel monitor so it can tell whether a channel uses 'manual' funding-transaction broadcasts and whether that funding transaction has actually appeared on-chain yet. The goal is to stop the node from broadcasting its own commitment transaction (a recovery/closing transaction) before the funding transaction exists on-chain, which would be pointless and could leak information or waste fees. It is a defensive correctness fix, not a patch for an active exploit.

This commit fixes a bookkeeping flag in the Lightning channel monitor. The flag `funding_seen_onchain` was not being set when the funding transaction was observed on the blockchain, even though the code already detected it.

AI review queuedOnly pause read in `PeerManager` `send_data` not `read_event`by Matt Corallo · c0855d81 · Oct 27, 2025 · 4 filesMessage 95 · StrongLow 48Details
Commit message · Matt Corallo
Only pause read in `PeerManager` `send_data` not `read_event`
We recently ran into a race condition on macOS where `read_event` would return `Ok(true)` (implying reads should be paused) due to many queued outbound messages but before the caller was able to set the read-pause flag, the `send_data` calls to flush the buffered messages completed. Thus, when the `read_event` caller got scheduled again, the buffer was empty and we should be reading, but it is finally processing the read-pause flag and we end up hanging, unwilling to read messages and unable to learn that we should start reading again as there are no messages to `send_data` for.
This should be fairly rare, but not unheard of - the `pause_read` flag in `read_event` is calculated before handling the last message, so there's some time between when its calculated and when its returned. However, that has to race with multiple calls to `send_data` to send all the pending messages, which all have to complete before the `read_event` return happens. We've (as far as I recall) never hit this in prod, but a benchmark HTLC-flood test managed to hit it somewhat reliably within a few minutes on macOS and when a synthetic few-ms sleep was added to each message handling call.
Ultimately this is an issue with the API - we pause reads via a returned flag but unpause them via a called method, creating two independent "stream"s of pause/unpauses which can get out of sync. Thus, here, we stick to a single "stream" of pause-read events from `PeerManager` to user code via `send_data` calls, dropping the read-pause flag return from `read_event` entirely.
Technically this adds risk that someone can flood us with enough messages fast enough to bloat our outbound buffer for a peer before `PeerManager::process_events` gets called and can flush the pause flag via `read_event` calls to all descriptors. This isn't ideal but it should still be relatively hard to do as `process_events` calls are pretty quick and should be triggered immediately after each `read_event` call completes.

This commit fixes a race condition in how the Lightning networking code pauses and resumes reading from a peer's connection. Previously, the code could tell a caller to pause reading, but by the time the caller acted on it, the reason to pause had already gone away. This could leave a peer connection stuck: no new messages would be read, and because nothing was being sent either, there was no later signal to resume reading. The fix moves the pause/resume signal into the same path used to send data, so the two cannot get out of sync. The commit also notes a small new risk: a very fast message flood could briefly bloat memory before the next processing cycle pauses reads.

Assure BroadcasterInterface packages of len > 1 are child-with-parents
Implementations MUST NOT assume any topological order on the transactions.
While Bitcoin Core v29+ `submitpackage` RPC allows packages of length 1 to be submitted via `submitpackage`, it still requires any package submitted there to be a `child-with-parents` package.
So we remove the possibility that a batch of transactions passed to a `BroadcasterInterface` implementation contains unrelated transactions, or multiple children.

This commit tightens the rules for how Lightning Dev Kit hands groups of Bitcoin transactions to external broadcasting code. Previously, a broadcaster might have received several unrelated transactions or multiple 'child' transactions in one batch, and the documentation only said they 'may or may not' depend on each other. The change guarantees that any batch with more than one transaction is exactly one child transaction plus the parent transactions it depends on. It also updates LDK's own test broadcaster to verify this shape and fixes a test so its fake anchor transaction actually spends the commitment transaction, matching the new guarantee. The main risk is that real broadcaster implementations which relied on the old, looser behavior could have submitted invalid packages to Bitcoin Core's submitpackage RPC, causing broadcasts to fail rather than enabling theft of funds directly.
