The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds new API methods to let users spend funds that were accidentally sent to taproot-style Lightning channel addresses. It extends existing recovery tools to support a newer address format. There is no indication in the commit that this fixes a security vulnerability; it appears to be a feature addition.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal feature commit. If reviewing further, verify that the new taproot signing path correctly validates the unsigned transaction and nonce ownership before aggregating signatures.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
