The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit threads request context objects through LND's payment lifecycle code so that database operations can continue even when the caller's request is cancelled. It is a defensive refactor that reduces the risk of payment state corruption or stuck payments if an RPC client disconnects mid-payment. It does not appear to fix an active exploit, and the commit message does not describe it as a security fix.

Recommended action

Treat as a hardening/maintenance change. Monitor follow-up commits that complete the context separation noted in TODOs. No urgent patch action is indicated by this commit alone.

Security signals we found

01

Context cancellation could previously abort payment lifecycle while DB updates were still needed, risking inconsistent payment state

02

Use of context.WithoutCancel to preserve DB cleanup after caller disconnect

03

TODO comments explicitly state this is a workaround, not a complete fix

04

No explicit security claim in commit message or diff
