+* [Fix a startup deadlock when tapd runs in integrated
+  mode](https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal/pull/1371):
+  litd waited for lnd to be fully synced to chain before starting its
+  sub-servers, but lnd only reports itself as synced once its blockbeat has
+  caught up, and block processing can be blocked on tapd's aux sweeper, which
+  only becomes available once tapd is started. With a channel being resolved on
+  chain, litd therefore retried the lnd client creation forever and tapd never
+  came up. We now only wait for the chain notifier, and additionally require an
+  HTLC interceptor to be attached whenever tapd runs in-process, so lnd fails
+  forwards back instead of forwarding them without any RFQ policy checks.
