The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit simply updates a core Bitcoin library dependency (btcd) to a newer version in LND's build files. The change itself does not show any specific security fix, bug, or vulnerability. It is a routine dependency bump that could include many upstream changes, but the commit message and diff do not identify any security issue.

Recommended action

Review the upstream btcd release notes and changelog between the old and new pseudo-versions to determine whether this update addresses any security issues. If the update is routine, continue normal dependency management and testing. Do not treat this commit as a confirmed security patch without additional evidence.

This change tightens how LND reads Lightning invoices (BOLT 11). Previously, if an invoice contained more than one payment hash field, LND would silently keep the first one and ignore the rest. Now it rejects the invoice entirely. The rele…
