The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new fuzz test for an existing function that handles incoming onion messages. It does not change the actual message-handling code, so it cannot introduce a security vulnerability by itself. It is a testing improvement.

Recommended action

No action required. This is a defensive testing addition. Consider running the new fuzz target in CI if not already planned.

Security signals we found
