- Remove unnecessary type argument in NewTaprootSigType.
- Simplify nested if to single condition for taproot nonce generation.
- Fix typo "once the no updates" -> "once there are no updates" in

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a small code cleanup in LND's cooperative channel-closing logic. The only behavior change that matters for security is replacing a risky type assertion with a safe one, so the program returns an error instead of crashing if an unexpected signature type is passed. The rest of the changes are typo fixes, comment moves, and minor simplifications. There is no evidence this fixes an actively exploitable vulnerability.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine hardening/cleanup commit. Include in normal review and testing; no urgent security response is warranted based on the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

Unsafe type assertion replaced with safe type assertion to prevent panic

02

Defensive error handling added in taproot signature path

03
