What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds documentation to the release notes. It describes a previously merged feature that adds two informational fields to a pending-channel RPC response and stores a confirmation height in the database. There is no code change, no bug fix, and no security relevance in the diff itself.
No security action required. Treat as routine release-note documentation.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch is a single markdown addition to docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.20.0.md. It documents PR #9677, which added ConfirmationsUntilActive and ConfirmationHeight to PendingChannelsResponse_PendingChannel and persists the funding-transaction confirmation height. The change is purely informational/documentation and does not alter runtime behavior.

## Functional Enhancements
+* [Add](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/9677)
+ `ConfirmationsUntilActive` and `ConfirmationHeight` field to the
+ `PendingChannelsResponse_PendingChannel` message, providing users with the
+ number of confirmations remaining before a pending channel becomes active and
+ the block height at which the funding transaction was first confirmed.
+ This change also persists the channel's confirmation height in the database
+ once its funding transaction receives one confirmation, allowing tracking of
+ confirmation progress before the channel becomes active.
