The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine API refactor in the Lightning Dev Kit. It changes how a 'payment forwarded' event reports the incoming and outgoing payment channels, grouping them into lists so that future 'trampoline' routing can report multiple parts. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a security vulnerability; it appears to be a feature/structural improvement.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Treat as a normal API/behavior change and review downstream consumers of Event::PaymentForwarded to ensure they handle Vec<HTLCLocator> correctly, especially for trampoline forwards where the vectors may contain more than one element.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant keywords in commit title or message

02

No change to cryptographic primitives, signature verification, or HTLC timeout handling

03

Serialization uses debug_assert for non-empty vectors but falls back to zeroed garbage data to avoid panics in release builds

04

Backward-compatibility deserialization maps legacy fields into the new HTLCLocator vector
