This commit fixes a bug in the Lightning Dev Kit's filesystem storage module. Previously, leftover temporary and 'trash' files from crashes or interrupted operations were mistakenly treated as real data folders during listing and migration. The patch makes the code skip these stale artifacts, preventing potential confusion or errors during data migration. It is a defensive hardening fix rather than a directly exploitable vulnerability.
Document script_pubkey-only matching in into_unique_contributions
The function compares outputs by script_pubkey alone, not full TxOut, so any contribution output sharing a script with an existing output is filtered regardless of value. This is intentional — a change output's value may shift between rounds (e.g., for a new feerate) and should still match. But the consequence isn't obvious: multiple contribution outputs sharing a script are all filtered together when any existing output uses that script. Document it.

This commit only adds a comment explaining existing behavior in a Bitcoin Lightning funding function. It does not change any code logic. The behavior being documented—filtering duplicate outputs based only on their script address—could theoretically let a malicious or buggy participant hide funds in some edge cases, but the commit itself is a documentation-only change and does not introduce or fix a vulnerability.
The contribution returned in Event::SpliceNegotiationFailed may include inputs and outputs already committed to a prior negotiated (but not yet locked) splice transaction. Those overlapping items are intentionally omitted from the preceding Event::DiscardFunding to avoid prompting the user to reclaim UTXOs that are still in use elsewhere. The relationship was documented on the internal SpliceFundingFailed fields but lost when they were made private; surface it on the public event field doc.

Pick NegotiationFailureReason at error construction
QuiescentError::FailSplice was built with a placeholder NegotiationFailureReason::Unknown and expected callers to chain a with_negotiation_failure_reason builder. Sites that forgot the chain leaked Unknown into Event::SpliceNegotiationFailed, and the pattern forced splice-specific reason vocabulary into the generic QuiescentAction helper.
Each call site in propose_quiescence now picks the reason at construction. The pending-quiescent-action branch is unreachable, so it asserts unconditionally; the match retains arms for both action variants so release builds return a sensible error if the invariant is violated. abandon_quiescent_action returns SpliceFundingFailed directly without round-tripping through QuiescentError, since the reason was always discarded there.
Make funding_contributed's pending-quiescent-action check exhaustive on QuiescentAction. A future variant produces a compile error here and at the matching arm in propose_quiescence, forcing the author to decide how it interacts with funding contribution.

This commit is a code-quality and correctness fix in a Lightning network library. It removes a risky pattern where an error reason was left as a placeholder ('Unknown') and only filled in later by callers. Some callers forgot to fill it in, so users could see a confusing 'Unknown' reason when a splice negotiation actually failed for a known reason. The change makes the reason mandatory at the moment the error is created, and removes a helper that made it easy to forget. It is not a direct exploit fix, but it prevents a class of state-reporting bugs that could hide what went wrong during channel operations.

Enforce `min_funding_satoshis` after splices
In inbound channels, we already enforce this minimum at channel open, so it makes sense to also enforce this minimum on any splices in which the counterparty's contribution is negative.
This commit fixes a consistency gap in the Lightning Dev Kit: a setting that normally blocks very small inbound channels when they are first opened was not being checked after a 'splice' that shrinks the channel. A splice lets both parties add or remove funds from an existing channel without closing it. The change now applies the same minimum-channel-size rule to inbound splices where the other side is taking money out, preventing the channel from becoming smaller than the node operator allowed. The patch is defensive and adds tests, but it is narrowly scoped to one configuration check.

This commit fixes a potential denial-of-service (DoS) issue in the Lightning Dev Kit's transaction sync module. Previously, if the Bitcoin blockchain kept changing during a sync attempt, the code could loop forever trying to catch up. The patch limits this to 10 attempts before giving up and trying again later, preventing the node from getting stuck or wasting excessive resources.
A few PRs ago, we started persisting inbound committed HTLC onions in Channels. These onions were persisted to lay groundwork for reconstructing the ChannelManager's pending HTLC maps from them in a future version. However, we've since discovered a different direction where we can instead reconstruct these same maps using persistent monitor events, which may mean that we don't need to persist these onions.
Since persisting a bunch of onions on every manager write is a big commitment that we're not fully confident in yet, switch it off for now until we either confirm the monitor events direction and can delete all this onion persisting code OR realize that we definitely do need it.

This commit fixes a bug in how Lightning Dev Kit calculates whether a channel funder can afford a sudden spike in Bitcoin transaction fees. Previously, the code assumed HTLCs (small conditional payments) that would become uneconomical at a doubled feerate were already trimmed away when checking the funder's buffer. This made the check too optimistic: it only verified the funder could survive an exact 2x fee jump, not any jump between normal and 2x. The fix counts HTLCs at the current feerate instead of the spiked one, ensuring the reserve covers the full range of possible fee increases. The commit is framed by its author as a correctness fix for fee-spike buffer accounting.
While user signatures may be provided whenever ready at the user's discretion when handling a `FundingTransactionReadyForSigning` event, it does not cover the user's signature for the 2-of-2 multisig input in a splice. This signature is obtained via the `EcdsaChannelSigner`, which did not support providing it asynchronously.
Since the splice shared input signature is part of the `tx_signatures` message, we're not allowed to send the message until it's complete. This results in us needing to explicitly handle the signature exchange logic when the signer unblocks the shared input signature.

This commit adds support for asynchronous signing of the shared input in a Lightning channel splice. Previously, the signature for the 2-of-2 multisig input had to be produced immediately when requested, which could block users whose signing hardware or policy requires delays. The change allows the signer to return an error and retry later, and it reworks the internal state machine so the splice negotiation waits cleanly until that signature is available. It is a feature/robustness improvement rather than a fix for an active exploit.

Don't trim HTLCs when calculating the reserved commit tx fee
We previously accounted for HTLC trims at the spiked feerate when calculating the reserved commitment transaction fees.
This could cause an underestimate of the real current commitment fee at the current channel feerate. This is because a 2x increase in the feerate could trim enough HTLCs to result in a smaller commitment transaction fee.
Also, the previous code only reserved the fee for an exact 2x increase in the feerate, instead of reserving the fee for any increase in the feerate between 1x to 2x.

This commit fixes a bug in how the Lightning node calculates the reserve funds it must keep available to pay for a future emergency fee increase. Previously, the node counted how many small HTLC payments would be dropped from the transaction if fees spiked, and used that smaller number to estimate the required reserve. That could lead to an underestimate, because a fee spike could also trim additional HTLCs. The fix now counts non-dust HTLCs at the current feerate and reserves enough for any fee increase between 1x and 2x, not just exactly 2x. The risk is that a node might think it has more spendable balance than it actually can safely afford, potentially leading to a force-close or inability to cover fees during congestion.

Commit to payment_metadata in inbound payment HMAC
When payment_metadata is set in a BOLT 11 invoice, users expect to receive it back as-is in the payment onion. In order to ensure it isn't tampered with, they presumably will add an HMAC, or worse, not add one and forget that it can be tampered with.
Instead, here we include it in the HMAC computation for the payment secret. This ensures that the sender must relay the correct metadata for the payment to be accepted by the receiver, binding the metadata to the payment cryptographically.
The metadata is only included in the HMAC when present, so existing payments without metadata continue to verify correctly. However, this does break receiving payments with metadata today. On an upgrade this seems acceptable to me given we have seen almost no use of payment metadata in practice.

This change cryptographically ties a piece of invoice data called payment_metadata to the payment secret. Before, a sender could alter that metadata in flight and the receiver would still accept the payment. Now, if the metadata is changed, the payment will be rejected. The change is a security improvement, but it breaks compatibility for existing invoices that already include payment_metadata when nodes upgrade or downgrade.

Include NegotiationFailureReason in InteractiveTxMsgError
Each `SpliceNegotiationFailed` event originating from an `InteractiveTxMsgError` needs a `NegotiationFailureReason`, so it makes sense to track it in the same place. In most cases, the `NegotiationFailureReason` included uses the `NegotiationError` variant, but other cases may require their own specific variant, such as `LocallyCanceled` after calling `ChannelManager::cancel_funding_contributed`.
This commit is a small internal cleanup in the Lightning Dev Kit's code for handling failed channel-funding negotiations (splicing). It moves the 'reason the negotiation failed' into the same error object that already carries other failure details, instead of passing it separately through several function calls. The change itself does not fix a vulnerability; it makes the code easier to maintain and ensures the correct reason is reported when a splice is canceled locally. There is no evidence in the commit of a security bug or exploit.

Reset LSPS5 `persistence_in_flight` counter on persist errors
`LSPS5ServiceHandler::persist` incremented `persistence_in_flight` at the top as a single-runner gate, but only decremented it on the success path: each interior `?` on a `kv_store` future propagated the error out of the function while leaving the counter at >= 1. After one transient I/O failure (disk full, brief unavailability of a remote `KVStore`, EPERM, etc.) every subsequent `persist()` call hit the `fetch_add > 0` short-circuit and silently returned `Ok(false)`.
The in-memory `needs_persist` flags then continued to grow without ever reaching disk, so webhook state, removals, and notification cooldowns were lost on the next process restart — including the spec-mandated webhook retention/pruning state — without any error surfaced to the operator. The counter is monotonic, so recovery required a process restart.
Adopt the LSPS1 / LSPS2 pattern: split the body into an inner `do_persist` and an outer `persist` that unconditionally clears the counter via `store(0)` after the call returns, regardless of outcome. A failed write now still propagates `Err`, but the next `persist()` attempt actually retries the write instead of no-op'ing.

A bug in the LSPS5 (webhook) service meant that one failed disk/storage write could permanently disable all future saves of webhook state until the program was restarted. The code used a counter to make sure only one save runs at a time, but it only reset that counter on success. After any error, every later save call silently did nothing and returned success, so operators saw no errors while important data was lost. The patch resets the counter even when writes fail, so retries happen normally.
Assert that channel HTLC sets are empty after harness quiescence.

This commit adds a new safety check inside a fuzz-testing harness, not in production code. After simulated Lightning payments settle, it now asserts that no payment promises (HTLCs) are left stuck in any test channel. It does not change how real users' funds are handled and does not fix an active bug by itself.
This commit is a pure code cleanup and refactoring of an internal fuzz-testing harness in the rust-lightning project. It moves existing test setup, state, and message-processing logic into a new `Harness` struct so the main `do_test` function only reads fuzz input bytes and dispatches actions. No production code, network behavior, or security logic was changed.
