The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a hidden developer-only option called dev_remove_all to the askrene-unreserve command. When enabled, it clears all capacity reservations managed by the Askrene plugin instead of only unreserving the specific path provided. The feature is marked as hidden and intended for development/testing use. There is no indication in the commit that this fixes a security vulnerability; it appears to be a convenience tool for developers.

Recommended action

Treat this as a routine feature addition rather than a security patch. Operators should ensure that RPC access to dev_-prefixed commands is restricted to trusted users, as dev_remove_all could disrupt in-flight payment routing by clearing all capacity reservations. No urgent upgrade is warranted for security reasons based on this commit alone.
