The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only updates test files and test helpers to match a new default wallet-seed format. It does not change production code, does not fix a vulnerability, and has no direct security impact on running Core Lightning nodes.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal test-maintenance commit. Reviewers may want to confirm that the new default is intentionally applied only to v25.12+ and that CI passes.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
