The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new automated test to the project's test suite. It does not change any production code, so by itself it cannot introduce or fix a live security issue. The test checks that a specific payment function reports a failure correctly when a peer connection drops at a particular moment.

Recommended action

No immediate action required for this commit. Treat it as test coverage. If the xfail test is intended to guard against a real bug, monitor the follow-up commit that makes the test pass and review that change for security relevance.
