The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes an older, less effective way of choosing Lightning payment routes (called PaymentWeightRatios) and switches the code to use a newer route-scoring system based on estimated success probability. It is a routine cleanup/refactoring change, not a security fix. There is no evidence in the commit message or diff of a vulnerability being patched.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal maintenance/refactoring commit. Reviewers may want to confirm that existing deployments with legacy ratios config entries fail gracefully or are ignored, since the option is removed.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant code change identified

02

Removal of deprecated routing heuristic configuration option

03

Test-only and configuration-only refactor
