The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This change is a straightforward instrumentation patch: Core Lightning's connection daemon (connectd) now records when a peer connection started and reports how long it lasted when the peer disconnects. The data is passed to the main lightningd process and included in internal peer-disconnect/reconnect messages. There is no evidence in the commit of a security bug being fixed or introduced; it appears to be a metrics/logging improvement.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal feature/metrics patch. Reviewers may optionally verify that the new `connected_time_nsec` field is not later used in a security-sensitive way in subsequent commits.
