The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds new witness type labels for Taproot Lightning channels to LND's wallet RPC. It is essentially a protocol/API bookkeeping change: it exposes new enum values so the wallet RPC can report or handle additional Taproot channel sweep types. There is no direct evidence in the diff of a security vulnerability being fixed; it appears to be a feature or completeness update for production Taproot channels.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Review the broader Taproot channels feature branch to confirm the new witness types are correctly handled by the sweeper and signing subsystems, since this commit only adds RPC enum exposure.
