The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new optional data field called local_nonces to a Lightning network control message (revoke_and_ack). It is part of the protocol plumbing for a feature called splice nonce coordination. There is no indication in the commit that this fixes a security bug; it appears to be a feature addition or protocol update.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine feature commit unless additional context shows it is part of a security fix. If reviewing for security, verify that LocalNonces parsing enforces size limits and that nonce values are validated before use in MuSig2 signing.
