What the developer wrote
Authored by Rusty Russell
tools: remove accidentally-committed obsolete hsmtool binary.
And keep it in the .gitignore, as others may have old ones lying around too.

What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply deletes an old, accidentally included binary file named hsmtool from the repository and adds its name to the ignore list so it won't be committed again. There is no code change, no vulnerability fix, and no security issue introduced or resolved by this commit.
No security action needed. This is a repository hygiene cleanup. Reviewers may optionally verify that the deleted binary was indeed obsolete and not a required build artifact.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.

The commit removes tools/hsmtool, an obsolete binary that was accidentally committed, and adds ‘hsmtool’ to tools/.gitignore. The diff shows only a binary file deletion and a one-line .gitignore addition. No source code, build scripts, or runtime behavior is modified.
