The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a code-cleanup refactor in a Bitcoin Lightning Network library. It moves a list of not-yet-confirmed funding transactions (pending_funding) from the general channel object into a splice-specific structure (PendingSplice), because that list is only meaningful during a splice. The change is mostly internal reorganization, but it also slightly reorders cleanup steps when a splice is finalized and adds helper methods to access the moved data. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a known security bug, but refactors around funding-state management can affect correctness of channel funds handling.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal code-quality and maintainability patch. Review the reordered cleanup in promote_splice_funding! to confirm no use-after-swap or double-promotion edge cases. No urgent security action is indicated by the commit itself.
