The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new management command (askrene-remove-channel-update) that lets users delete a previously-added channel override from an AskRene routing 'layer'. It is a routine feature addition: it removes one entry from an in-memory map inside the askrene plugin and does not touch funds, cryptographic operations, or network peers. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability, but any new RPC surface slightly enlarges the attack surface and could hide logic bugs in input handling.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal feature commit. Review the new layer_remove_channel_update() implementation for correct map-key handling and ensure the RPC is documented with appropriate permission requirements. No urgent security action is indicated by the diff alone.
