Handle mon update completion actions even with update(s) is blocked

If we complete a `ChannelMonitorUpdate` persistence but there are
blocked `ChannelMonitorUpdate`s in the channel, we'll skip all the
post-monitor-update logic entirely. While its correct that we can't
resume the channel (as it expected the monitor updates it generated
to complete, even if they ended up blocked), the post-update
actions are a `channelmanager.rs` concept - they cannot be tied to
blocked updates because `channelmanager.rs` doesn't even see
blocked updates.

This can lead to a channel getting stuck waiting on itself. In a
production environment, an LDK user saw a case where:
(a) an MPP payment was received over several channels, let's call
them A + B.
(b) channel B got into `AwaitingRAA` due to unrelated operations,
(c) the MPP payment was claimed, with async monitor updating,
(d) the `revoke_and_ack` we were waiting on was delivered, but the
resulting `ChannelMonitorUpdate` was blocked due to the
pending claim having inserted an RAA-blocking action,
(e) the preimage `ChannelMonitorUpdate` generated for channel B
completed persistence, which did nothing due to the blocked
`ChannelMonitorUpdate`.
(f) the `Event::PaymentClaimed` event was handled but it, too,
failed to unblock the channel.

Instead, here, we simply process post-update actions when an update
completes, even if there are pending blocked updates. We do not
fully unblock the channel, of course.

This commit fixes a bug in the Lightning Dev Kit (LDK) where a channel could get stuck waiting on itself after a multi-path payment (MPP) was claimed. Previously, when a monitor update completed but another monitor update was blocked, LDK skipped important follow-up actions, such as emitting the PaymentClaimed event and releasing held HTLCs. The fix ensures these follow-up actions run even when the channel still has blocked monitor updates, preventing channels from hanging.

AI review queuedSupport async fetching of commitment point during channel reestablishby Wilmer Paulino · 1f7b2490 · Nov 18, 2025 · 3 filesMessage 73 · AdequateLow 42Details
Commit message · Wilmer Paulino

Support async fetching of commitment point during channel reestablish

`HolderCommitmentPoint` currently tracks the current and next point used
on counterparty commitments, which are unrevoked. When we reestablish a
channel, the counterparty sends us the commitment height, along with the
corresponding secret, for the state they believe to be the latest. We
compare said secret to the derived point we fetch from the signer to
know if the peer is being honest.

Since the protocol does not allow peers (assuming no data loss) to be
behind the current state by more than one update, we can cache the two
latest revoked commitment points alongside `HolderCommitmentPoint`, such
that we no longer need to reach the signer asynchronously when handling
`channel_reestablish` messages throughout the happy path. By doing so,
we avoid complexity in needing to pause the state machine (which may
also result in needing to stash any update messages from the
counterparty) while the signer response is pending.

The only remaining case left to handle is when the counterparty presents
a `channel_reestablish` with a state later than what we know. This can
only result in two terminal cases: either they provided a valid
commitment secret proving we are behind and we need to panic, or they
lied and we force close the channel. This is the only case we choose to
handle asynchronously as it's relatively trivial to handle.

AI analysis · Low 42/100

This commit improves how the Lightning node handles reconnections after a network interruption. Previously, when re-establishing a channel, the node sometimes had to ask an external signer for a cryptographic proof point and could not proceed until the signer responded. The change keeps the two most recent revoked proof points cached locally so the common case no longer needs to wait for the signer. It only defers to the signer asynchronously in the rare 'stale state' case, where the peer claims our node is behind. That stale case either proves data loss (causing a protective panic) or proves the peer is lying (causing a force-close). The commit is a defensive hardening/feature change, not a fix for an active exploit.

Remove redundant channel ID logging

Previously, log messages often included the channel ID both in the
message text and in the structured `channel_id` field. This led to
redundant information and made it difficult to quickly identify which
log lines pertain to a given channel, as the ID could appear in
different positions or sometimes not at all.

This change removes the channel ID from the message in all cases where
it is already present in the structured field. A test run was used to
verify that the structured field always appeared in these log calls.
Some exceptions remain—for example, calls where the structured field
contains a temporary channel ID and the message contains the final ID
were left unchanged.

AI analysis · Low 34/100

This commit removes an older, now-redundant HMAC/nonce authentication mechanism from LDK's blinded payment paths. The code had already introduced a newer 'ReceiveAuthKey' way to authenticate the same data, so the old (hmac, nonce) fields are being stripped out to simplify the codebase. The change is described by the project as a cleanup, not a security fix, and the diff shows the old verification checks being replaced by reliance on the newer mechanism. There is no direct evidence in the commit of an exploitable vulnerability, but removing a redundant authentication layer is a normal hardening step.

This commit fixes a fee-estimation bug in LDK's experimental splicing code. When the optional `grind_signatures` feature is enabled, signatures are guaranteed to be one byte smaller than the normal maximum. The splice funding-transaction fee estimator was not accounting for that smaller signature, so it could slightly overestimate fees. The patch subtracts one weight unit from the relevant estimates when the feature is on, and updates tests to match. It is a correctness/efficiency fix rather than a critical vulnerability.

Use a tolerance when estimating remote fees

The interactive-tx construction protocol uses an agreed upon fee rate.
Since the bitcoind coin selection algorithm may underpay fees when no
change output is needed, providing a tolerance when checking if the
remote's fee contribution could avoid some unexpected failures. This
commit introduces a 95% tolerance similar to Eclair.

This change relaxes a fee-checking rule during Bitcoin Lightning channel transactions. When two parties jointly build a transaction, the code now accepts a remote party's fee contribution that is up to 5% lower than the agreed rate, matching how another major implementation (Eclair) behaves. This avoids false failures caused by real-world coin-selection quirks, but it also means the local node may accept slightly less fee than strictly required.

The interactive-tx construction protocol needs to make sure the

This commit fixes how rust-lightning estimates the final size of a Bitcoin transaction during the interactive-tx protocol used to build funding transactions for Lightning channels. The old estimate double-counted a fixed empty-signature weight and forgot to add the SegWit marker/flag bytes, so it could wrongly allow a transaction that is actually too large to be accepted by the Bitcoin network. Such a transaction would not propagate through standard Bitcoin nodes, potentially causing a channel-funding attempt to fail or get stuck.

This commit is a straightforward internal cleanup in the project's test code. It removes a helper macro used only in tests and replaces its remaining uses with an equivalent regular function. There is no change to the actual Lightning protocol logic, network-facing behavior, or production code, so it does not create or fix a security issue.

This commit is a test-only refactoring change. It replaces uses of a test helper macro (`commitment_signed_dance!`) with direct calls to an equivalent test helper function (`do_commitment_signed_dance`) in many test files. There is no change to production code, no change to behavior, and no security fix or vulnerability introduced.

Use 72 WU instead of 73 WU for signature weight

When estimating signature weight, 73 WU was used in some places while 72
WU was used in others. Consistently use 72 WU and replace hardcoded
values with constants. 73 WU signatures are non-standard and won't be
produced by LDK. Additionally, using 73 WU along with grind_signatures
adjustment is nonsensical.

This commit fixes an internal inconsistency in how LDK estimates Bitcoin transaction fees. Some parts of the code assumed signatures could be 73 weight units (WU) long, while others used 72 WU. Since 73 WU signatures are non-standard and LDK never produces them, the 73 WU assumption caused fee estimates to be slightly too high. The patch standardizes on 72 WU and replaces magic numbers with named constants. The practical effect is slightly lower, more accurate fee estimates for Lightning channel funding and splicing transactions. It is not a direct vulnerability fix, but incorrect fee estimation could in edge cases cause transactions to be over-funded or, more importantly, could contribute to fee-related negotiation failures.

Drop required `Box`ing of `lightning` trait `Future`s

Now that our MSRV is 1.75, we can return `impl Trait` from trait
methods. Here we use this to clean up `lightning` crate trait
methods, dropping the `Pin<Box<dyn ...>>`/`AsyncResult` we had to
use to have trait methods return a concrete type.

This commit is a routine code cleanup in the Lightning Dev Kit Rust library. It takes advantage of a newer Rust language feature (available since Rust 1.75) to remove unnecessary 'Box' heap allocations around futures returned from certain trait methods. There is no indication this change fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability; it is a refactoring to simplify the code and reduce allocations.

Trivially replace `Box::pin` with `pin!` in a few places

Now that our MSRV is above 1.68 we can use the `pin!` macro to
avoid having to `Box` various futures, avoiding some allocations,
especially in `lightning-net-tokio`, which happens in a tight loop.

This commit is a routine code cleanup that swaps one Rust standard-library mechanism for pinning futures (`Box::pin`) with a newer, allocation-free equivalent (`pin!`). It removes heap allocations in a few internal loops and sync wrappers, but does not change program logic, trust boundaries, or behavior. There is no security relevance.

Security candidateAllow counterparty tx_abort before handling initial commitment signedby Wilmer Paulino · d282a47f · Nov 3, 2025 · 3 filesMessage 85 · StrongLow 44Details

Allow counterparty tx_abort before handling initial commitment signed

Upon processing the counterparty's initial `commitment_signed` for a
splice, we queue a monitor update with the new commitment transactions
spending the new funding transaction. Once handled, funding transaction
signatures can be exchanged and we must start monitoring the chain for a
possible commitment transaction broadcast spending the new funding
transaction. Aborting the splice negotiation then would therefore be
unsafe, hence why we currently force close in such cases. However, there
is no reason to force close prior to receiving their initial
`commitment_signed`, as this would imply the funding transaction
signatures have yet to be exchanged, thus making a commitment broadcast
spending said transaction impossible allowing us to abort the splice
negotiation safely.

This change fixes a Lightning channel splicing behavior where one side would unnecessarily force-close the channel if the counterparty tried to abort a splice before both sides had exchanged their first commitment signatures. Previously, any tx_abort during the signature-waiting phase triggered a force close. The patch makes the protocol more forgiving: aborting is allowed until the counterparty has actually sent its initial commitment_signed, because before that point no dangerous on-chain transaction has been committed to. Once commitment_signed is received, aborting remains unsafe and still triggers a force close. The change also cleans up internal state when aborting early and adds tests for the new behavior.

This commit only changes internal test helper code in the Lightning Dev Kit repository. It extends a test macro and a test reconnection helper so that automated tests can optionally capture and forward a `tx_abort` message during channel re-establishment scenarios. No production code is modified, and there is no indication this fixes or introduces a security issue.
