docs: release note for BOLT-02 push_msat fundee enforcement
Document the user-visible error string change introduced when the
fundee rejects incoming open_channel messages whose push_msat exceeds
1000 * funding_satoshis.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds a release note describing an earlier code change. It documents that LND now rejects certain invalid channel-open requests sooner and with a clearer error message. There is no code change in this commit, and the behavior it describes is a stricter enforcement of an existing Lightning protocol rule, not a security vulnerability.
No action required. Review the referenced PR #10765 if assessing the actual behavioral change; this commit is documentation-only.
Security signals we found
No code changes present in the commit
Describes stricter protocol enforcement, not a vulnerability
References prior pull request #10765 for the actual behavior change
Error message change is user-visible but not a security boundary change
Evidence from the diff
The commit is a documentation-only change to docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.22.0.md. It notes that pull request #10765 made the fundee enforce the BOLT-02 requirement that push_msat must not exceed 1000 * funding_satoshis, rejecting open_channel messages at validation time rather than later as a funder-balance-dust error. This is a spec-compliance and error-clarity improvement, not a defect or vulnerability fix.

## BOLT Spec Updates
+* The fundee now [enforces the BOLT-02 bound on
+ `push_msat`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/10765),
+ rejecting incoming `open_channel` messages where `push_msat` exceeds
+ `1000 * funding_satoshis`. Oversized pushes were previously caught
+ later in the reservation flow as a funder-balance-dust error; they now
+ surface a clearer, spec-aligned error string up front.
