The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new automated security scanner to the project's continuous integration pipeline. It does not change any actual LND code, fix a bug, or patch a vulnerability. Instead, it introduces a weekly GitHub Actions workflow that builds the lnd and lncli release binaries and runs Google's govulncheck tool against them to detect known vulnerable Go dependencies. Findings are currently treated as warnings only (exit code 3 is advisory) while the team works through any existing baseline issues.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Monitor the new workflow's weekly output and transition the advisory-only exit-code-3 handling to a failing check once the existing vulnerability baseline is cleared. Ensure the GO_VERSION pin and govulncheck version are kept current.
