The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a database cleanup routine that removes accidentally duplicated accounting records created by a previous bug. It is a data-integrity fix, not a security patch that stops an active attack. The underlying bug allowed the same on-chain money movement to be recorded twice—once under a live channel reference and once under a non-channel account reference—so users' coin-movement reports could be wrong until the duplicates are removed.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine data-integrity follow-up. Operators should allow the migration to run at startup and verify that coin-movement/accounting reports look correct afterward. There is no immediate security action required, but the prior bug that caused duplicates should be reviewed separately if it has not already been assessed.
