The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how LND tracks the newest channel ID in its network graph so the lookup can be filtered by a specific gossip protocol version. It is a structural refactoring to support multiple gossip versions, not a fix for an active security flaw. The change adds version checks that reject unsupported gossip versions, which is a defensive improvement, but the commit message and diff do not describe any vulnerability or security incident.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal code-quality and protocol-versioning change. Review related commits in the same release branch to confirm whether this is part of a larger security fix or feature work. No immediate security response is indicated by this commit alone.

Security signals we found

01

Adds explicit version validation in `KVStore.HighestChanID` and `SQLStore.HighestChanID`

02

Prevents queries against unsupported gossip versions

03

Refactors graph synchronization primitives to be version-aware
