The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit improves the SQL plugin in Core Lightning so that certain tables (htlcs, forwards, invoices, sendpays, networkevents) are refreshed more efficiently when data changes. Instead of reloading the whole table, it now deletes and re-inserts only changed entries. The change is described as a performance improvement, not a security fix, and there is no evidence in the commit of a vulnerability being patched.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Review as a normal performance/refactoring change. If deploying, verify SQL plugin tests pass and that the delete-before-insert logic preserves referential integrity for subtables.
