What changed, and why it matters
This commit only updates the release notes document. It adds a description of a previously fixed bug related to the `fund_max` option when opening a Lightning channel. The actual code fix happened in an earlier pull request, so this commit does not change any program behavior or fix any vulnerability itself.
No action needed for this documentation commit. Review PR #10488 separately if assessing the underlying fix.
Security signals we found
Release note describes a prior behavior correction, not a current security fix in this commit
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.21.0.md, adding a bullet under the Bug Fixes section describing PR #10488. That prior PR corrected OpenChannel with fund_max to use the protocol-level maximum channel size rather than the user-configured maxchansize. This commit is purely documentation and contains no code changes.
