docs: note configurable WalletKit lease lifetime
Document the new LeaseOutput and FundPsbt confirmation-depth option in
the 0.22.0 release notes.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds documentation to the release notes describing a new WalletKit feature: output leases can now optionally stay active until a spending transaction reaches a chosen confirmation depth. There is no code change, no bug fix, and no security-related content in the commit itself.
No security action required. This is a documentation-only release-note entry. Review the underlying PR #11125 separately if assessing the security of the new lease-lifetime behavior.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff is a nine-line addition to docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.21.4.md. It documents PR #11125, which introduced a confirmation-depth option for LeaseOutput and FundPsbt leases. The text explains that leases can ignore wall-clock expiration and expose spend progress via ListLeases, with zero depth preserving prior behavior. No implementation, configuration defaults, or security implications are discussed.
