The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new automated test to Electrum's Lightning networking code. It simulates a multi-hop payment where the final receiver intentionally reports a malformed onion packet. There is no change to production code, no bug fix, and no security patch.

Recommended action

No action needed; this is a test-only addition. Reviewers may optionally verify that the existing production implementation of `on_update_fail_malformed_htlc` is already robust, but the commit itself introduces no risk.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
