and related methods. This field records the block height where a
commitment transaction has confirmed.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new piece of information—the block height at which a commitment transaction was confirmed—to the data structures used when resolving Lightning Network channel closes. It does not change any security-critical logic by itself; it is a data plumbing change that makes the confirmation height available to auxiliary contract resolvers. There is no direct vulnerability visible in the diff, but it could be a prerequisite for a future fix or feature that depends on knowing this height accurately.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine refactor/data-structure enhancement. Monitor follow-up commits that consume `CommitTxBlockHeight` inside `AuxContractResolver` implementations to determine whether this field enables a security-critical check. No immediate patching action is indicated by this commit alone.
