The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds an async version of the FilesystemStore in the Lightning Dev Kit's Rust library. It changes how file locks are managed and introduces version numbers to keep async writes in order. The change is a feature/refactor rather than a clear security fix, but it touches concurrency and persistence code where bugs could affect data integrity. There is no vendor statement or external report saying this is a security issue.

Recommended action

Review the async ordering and lock-cleanup logic during normal code review. Run the new fuzz target and async tests. No immediate security patch is indicated by the supplied materials.

Security signals we found

01

Concurrency and file-system persistence code changed

02

New version-based eventual consistency mechanism introduced

03

Async operations run via tokio::task::spawn_blocking

04

Lock cleanup logic refactored from interval GC to reference-count-based removal

05

New fuzz target added to exercise sync/async read/write/remove/list interleaving
