The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates the version of the Lightning BOLT specification used by Core Lightning and adds a test case for a new BOLT #11 example that includes a Taproot (P2TR) fallback address. It does not change production code behavior; it only adds test coverage for parsing a Taproot fallback in a BOLT11 invoice. There is no direct security vulnerability visible in the diff.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Review the corresponding BOLT specification changes at the new pinned commit to confirm no unexpected protocol-level security implications, and ensure the new test passes.
