+* [Auto-bake super macaroon on startup](https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal/pull/1324):
+  Added config options `--bake-super-macaroon` (choice: `none`, `read-only`,
+  `read-write`) and `--super-macaroon-path` to automatically bake a super
+  macaroon on startup and keep its permissions in sync. When set to `read-only`

+  containing read-only or read-write permissions, respectively, for all active
+  sub-servers on startup. If the macaroon already exists but has different
+  permissions, it will be automatically regenerated.
