The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes two old, single-value fields (`tx` and `txid`) from the JSON-RPC and gRPC response of the `close` command. They were already marked as deprecated in version 24.11 and are being replaced by the newer `txs` and `txids` list fields. This is a routine API cleanup, not a security fix.

Recommended action

No security action required. Developers using the old `tx`/`txid` fields should migrate to `txs`/`txids` before upgrading to the release containing this commit.
