The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine Rust code cleanup change. It removes an unnecessary layer of pointer-like indirection (the Deref trait) from the UtxoLookup type used in Lightning gossip processing. The code now requires types to directly implement UtxoLookup, and adds a blanket implementation so that references and smart pointers to UtxoLookup implementers still work. There is no security-relevant behavior change visible in the diff.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal refactoring/code-quality change.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
