Prune closed LSPS2 terminal channel state

Prune closed LSPS2 terminal channel state

Terminal JIT channel state is only useful while the forwarded channel
still exists. Drop completed LSPS2 mappings once the channel is gone so
persisted service state does not retain stale entries indefinitely.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds cleanup logic for a Lightning Service Provider (LSP) feature called LSPS2 Just-In-Time (JIT) channels. When a JIT channel closes, the service now deletes leftover internal tracking entries instead of keeping them forever in persistent storage. The change is framed as a state-management hygiene fix rather than an active vulnerability patch. It does not appear to fix a remotely triggerable exploit, but stale state could theoretically lead to confusion, incorrect reuse of old channel identifiers, or unbounded growth of stored data over time.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine maintenance/hygiene improvement. Integrators using LSPS2 should ensure their event loop forwards `Event::ChannelClosed` to the new handler so stale state is actually pruned. No urgent security deployment is indicated by the available evidence, but keeping persistent state bounded is good operational practice.

Security signals we found

01

State pruning for closed JIT channels to prevent indefinite retention of stale mappings

02

New public API surface (`channel_closed`) requiring correct event forwarding by callers

03

Persistence of updated peer state after pruning, with error mapping to `APIMisuseError`

04

Unit test covers idempotent removal and non-removal of unrelated channels

05

No explicit security bug, CVE, or exploit described in commit or supplied references
