Bug Fixes

• Fixed a panic in the DNS fallback SRV lookup, which unconditionally type-asserted each DNS Answer record to *dns.SRV and crashed the daemon when the response contained a non-SRV record. Non-SRV records are now skipped, and an empty LookupHost result for the shim no longer triggers an out-of-bounds index.

Functional Updates

• lnd now validates the CLTV expiry of HTLCs at the final hop. A final HTLC whose CLTV expiry falls outside the node's receive policy is failed back, bringing the final hop in line with the CLTV delta limits already enforced on the forwarding path. As part of this change, the channel policy TimeLockDelta is now validated against LND's supported forwarding bounds: any node that previously set a per-channel TimeLockDelta greater than 2016 (the maximum default value) will now have its UpdateChannelPolicy request rejected, and must lower the value accordingly below the specified maximum.
