The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This change threads a context.Context through the payment-failure code paths in LND. The most user-visible effect is that when a payment's own context is cancelled, the code now uses a fresh context (context.WithoutCancel) so the database can still record the payment as failed instead of leaving it stuck in-flight. It also removes several context.TODO() placeholders in the SQL store and routing lifecycle. This is a robustness/cleanup change rather than a security fix; there is no exploit or attacker-controlled path visible in the diff.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal reliability/robustness patch. No urgent security action is indicated by the diff alone. If deploying, verify that context cancellation behavior during payment shutdown is tested.
