The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes Electrum's Lightning code so that, by default, it refuses to open new 'static_remotekey' channels unless they also use 'anchors'. Static_remotekey is an older channel type. The change is defensive: it prevents users from accidentally opening a less modern channel type, but it does not fix an active bug or vulnerability in existing channels. The commit message and code comments do not describe this as a security fix.

Recommended action

Treat as a defensive hardening change. Review whether your deployment relies on opening new static_remotekey-only Lightning channels; if so, this commit will block them unless anchors are also negotiated. No urgent security patch action is indicated by the supplied materials.
