The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This change updates the SendPayment function so it accepts a caller-provided context instead of always creating a fresh background context. In plain terms, it lets the payment-sending code respect cancellation or timeout signals from the caller (for example, if an RPC client disconnects). There is no direct security bug being fixed here; it is a code-quality and resource-cleanup improvement.

Recommended action

No urgent action required. Treat as routine maintenance. If auditing, verify that all callers of SendPayment now pass an appropriate context and that cancellation does not leave inconsistent payment state.

Security signals we found

01

Context propagation refactor for request lifecycle hygiene

02

Potential reduction in orphaned payment attempts on RPC cancellation

03

No direct vulnerability or exploit mechanism visible in diff
