This commit fixes a backwards compatibility issue that prevented nodes
from upgrading from v0.19.x to v0.20.x.
In v0.19.x, channel edge features were serialized as raw feature bytes
without a length prefix. In v0.20.x (commit 2f2845dfc), the serialization
changed to use Features.Encode() which adds a 2-byte big-endian length
prefix before the feature bits. The deserialization code was updated to
use Features.Decode() which expects this length prefix.
When v0.20.x reads a database created by v0.19.x, Decode() tries to read
a length prefix that doesn't exist, causing an EOF error:
unable to decode features: EOF
The fix adds a deserializeChanEdgeFeatures() helper that detects which
format is being read and decodes accordingly:
- New format (v0.20+): First 2 bytes encode the length of the remaining
bytes. Detected when uint16(bytes[0:2]) == len(bytes)-2.
- Legacy format (pre-v0.20): Raw feature bits without length prefix.
Uses DecodeBase256 with the known length.
The format detection is safe because in the legacy format, the first byte
always has at least one bit set (the serialization uses minimum bytes),
so the first two bytes can never encode a value equal to len-2.
Fixes#10528.

We update the minimum required go version to build the LND
exectuable to the latest minor release of go 1.24.11.

In this commit, we add validation for channel updates and node
announcements to ensure that we reject gossip messages with zero
timestamps at the discovery layer.
From BOLT 7:
"MUST set timestamp to greater than 0, AND to greater than any
previously-sent channel_update for this short_channel_id."
This validation is performed in the gossip handlers (handleNodeAnnouncement
and handleChanUpdate) rather than at the wire protocol level. This approach
ensures we can still decode messages from disk or embedded in onion errors
while rejecting invalid gossip from peers.
Remote peers sending zero-timestamp gossip will have their ban score
incremented.
(cherry picked from commit cad1b957bf)
Replace hardcoded WithGlobalLock assignment with configurable
options wallet postgres backends. Also add the WithGlobalLock
option to the channeldb table for postgres backends.
Defaults:
- channeldb: false (allow concurrent access)
- wallet: true (maintain safe single-writer behavior)
Users can now override these defaults via:
- db.postgres.channeldb-with-global-lock
- db.postgres.walletdb-with-global-lock
This gives operators flexibility while maintaining safe defaults
until full native SQL migration is complete.
Moreover exclude db.postgres.walletdb-with-global-lock check
in the sample config file script. We cannot easily check the
correct default because we set it later in the LND startup
sequence so we exclude it.
In this commit, we add some docs that explain how to use tools like
heap escape analysis and memory profiling to fully eliminate allocations
in a sample program.
This guide is meant to help devs/contributors use Go's excellent perf
tools to zoom in on an optimization problem.
