The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds extra informational fields to the getemergencyrecoverdata RPC. It tells users whether their backup file can create penalty transactions and lists the backed-up channel IDs. There is no security fix or vulnerability being patched; it is a user-facing diagnostic improvement.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal feature/diagnostic enhancement. Operators may use the new RPC fields to verify their emergency backup format.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
