The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine internal improvement, not a security fix. It makes the connection daemon (connectd) report back why a connection was attempted and how long it took, alongside existing success/failure messages. This is observability and diagnostic data being added to inter-daemon messages; it does not change who can connect, what they can do, or how funds are protected.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal feature/observability commit. Reviewers may want to confirm the new reason strings are not later logged or exposed in a way that could leak internal command IDs, but the commit itself does not do so.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
