The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine refactoring of internal event definitions in the Eclair Lightning node. It changes how channel and payment events are structured so they carry more detailed information (such as splitting mining fees into local and remote portions, adding timestamps, and exposing relay fees). There is no direct evidence in the commit that these changes fix a security vulnerability; they appear to be observability and accounting improvements.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Reviewers may want to confirm that the new event fields do not leak sensitive channel details to unauthorized consumers of the event stream or API, and that database migrations for the new columns are present and backward-compatible.
