In this commit, we slightly refactor the startup of lnd when running
with a Neutrino light client backend. We'll now begin syncing our
backend as soon as lnd starts and passes all configuration checks. Since
this is all done before lnd's wallet setup, the light client will be
syncing in the background while the user notes/inputs their wallet seed.
This is done in order to provide a better UX from the point of the user,
such that most of the chain will already be synced by the time they get
to deposit funds into the wallet.
This commit moves the responsibility of managing the life cycle of the
autopilot from main to the autopilot Manager. It utilizes the recently
introduced autopilot Manager, and just sets up the necessary interfaces
for the Manager to properly set up the required subscriptions when
starting the agent.
In this commit, we modify the existing rpcServer to fully manage the
macaroons, gRPC server, and also seek out and create all sub-servers.
With this change, the RPC server gains more responsibility, as it
becomes the "root" server in the hierarchy of gRPC sub-servers.
In addition to creating each sub-server, it will also merge the set of
macaroon permissions for each sub-server, with the permissions of the
rest of the RPC infra. As a result, each sub-server is able to
independently specify what it needs w.r.t macaroon permissions and have
that taken care of by the RPC server. In order to achieve this, we need
to unify the creation of the RPC interceptors, and also fully manage the
gRPC server ourselves.

In this commit, we ensure that we always set the wallet birthday. If the
user has provided a seed, or is creating a new one, then it will be
overwritten below. However, before this commit, if a user started with
the --noencryptwallet flag, then we would _always_ start to rescan from
genesis with the recent bug fix to ensure that we always start after the
birthday.
In this commit, we move the initialization of the server into the
funding manager itself. We do this as it's no longer the case that _any_
RPC needs to access the funding manager. In the past, this was the
only reason that the funding manager was instantiated outside of the
server: to be able to respond to queries _before_ the server was
started.
This change also fixes a bug as atm, the funding manager will try to
register for notifications _before_ the ChainNotifier itself has fully
started.
callbacks
The FindPeer and SendToPeer callbacks are no longer needed within the
fundingManager due to the previous commit allowing us to send messages
to peers directly.
In this commit, we fix a slight bug recently introduced by the addition
of the new signal package. As we now use a regular defer for many
actions, it may be possible that the logs aren't yet initialized (for
example, lnd -h), which can cause a panic if the shutdown procedure goes
to log before the logs have been initialized.
In this commit, we update the set of Tor flags to use sane defaults when
not specified. We also include some new flags related to the recent
onion services changes. This allows users to easily get set up on Tor by
only specifying the tor.active flag. If needed, the defaults can still
be overridden.
In this commit we add a new command line option (and a sane default) to
allow users to specify the *smallest* inbound channel that they'll
accept. Having a higher-ish limit lets users limit their channels, and
also avoid a series of very low value "spam" channels.
The new option is --minchansize, and expressed in satoshis. If we
receive an inbound channel request for a value smaller than this, then
we'll immediately reject it.
In this commit, we fix a minor bug in the prior versions of lnd. Before
this commit, if we received a new inbound connection for channel
creation, the channel was created, and then the peer disconnected, we
wouldn't automatically reconnect.
In this commit we fix this issue by overloading the WatchNewChannel
method to also accept the peer's ID so we can add it to the set of
persistent connections.
In this commit, we wrap up the prior ones and introduce config
settings, as well as proper generation for a new invoice-only macaroon.
All prior invoice path rules are also properly enforced of this new
invoice.macaroon.
Before previous commits were squashed into this commit, zombie
reservations were cleaned up individually when they timed out.
However, this made the code more complex because each reservation
had its own individual timer and thus it would have required the
timer being cancelled any time the reservation was cancelled,
which would have been harder to maintain. With this commit,
zombie reservations are cleaned up by a zombie sweeper that is
set off by a ticker instead, to make the code more maintainable.
In this commit, we update lnd to now access the deterministic
keychain.KeyRing struct in order to obtain our identity public key.
With this change, if the user recovers their wallet with the same seed,
then they’ll have access to the same prior node identity. This change
also makes it easy for us to support node key rotation in the future by
bumping up our requested index.
