The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes an internal bookkeeping bug in LND's channel-opening code. When opening a Lightning channel that uses an auxiliary (aux) funding controller, the code was previously handing the controller an incomplete view of the negotiated channel settings. The patch makes sure the controller receives the final, agreed-upon local and remote channel configuration values. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this is exploitable as a security vulnerability; it reads as a correctness/robustness fix for a feature used by custom channel types such as Taproot Assets channels.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal code-quality/correctness patch. Reviewers using custom/aux channel types should verify that the aux funding controller now behaves correctly with the negotiated configs. No urgent security action is indicated by the supplied materials.

Security signals we found

01

Data-flow correctness: aux funding controller now receives negotiated channel configs rather than empty/partial state configs

02

Refactoring: duplicated NewAuxChanState construction extracted into single helper

03

Test coverage added for both PSBT and non-PSBT funding paths

04

No mention of vulnerability, exploit, CVE, or security advisory in commit or supplied references
