The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new automated test to Electrum's Lightning code. It does not change any production code, so it cannot by itself introduce or fix a security vulnerability in running software. The test checks a corner case in multi-part Lightning payments to make sure a bug (settling part of an incomplete payment) does not occur.

Recommended action

No action required for security; review the test for correctness and ensure the behavior it asserts is already implemented in the production Lightning peer code.

Security signals we found

01

Test-only change: no production code modified

02

Test covers Lightning MPP partial-settlement behavior

03

Test guards against preimage release when MPP is incomplete
