In this commit we fix a compatibility issue with other implementations.
Before this commit, when writing out an onion error that includes a
`ChannelUpdate` we would use the `MaxPayloadLength` to get the length to
encode. However, a recent update has modified that to be the max
`brontide` payload length as it's possible to pad out the message with
optional fields we're unaware of. As a result, we would always write out
a length of 65KB or so. This didn't effect our parser as we ignore the
length and decode the channel update directly as we don't need the
length to do that. However, other implementations depended on the length
rather than just reading the channel update, meaning that they weren't
able to decode our onion errors that had channel updates.
In this commit we fix that by introducing a new
`writeOnionErrorChanUpdate` which will write out the precise length
instead of using the max payload size.
Fixes#2450.
In this commit, we modify the peer's writeMessage
method to properly handle errors returned from
encoding an lnwire message and from setting the
write deadline on the connection. Since an error
would likely result in an empty byte slice, the
worse case seems to be that we may have tried to
send an empty message on the wire.
Lastly, we correct the way we compute bytes sent
on the wire to properly count the number of bytes
*written*, and not just the length of the encoded
message.
This commit modifies the behavior of the
HasActiveLink method within the switch to
only return true if the link is in the
link index and is eligible to forward
HTLCs.
The prior version returns true whenever
the link is found in the link index,
which may return true for pending
channels that are not actually active.
Adds flags for reward outputs and commitment outputs.
The fixed-size encoding for commitment outputs is
treated as a flag, so that the blob format can be
modified, extended, or replaced in future iterations.
This commit removes the breach transaction from the
arguments passed to NewBreachRetribution. We already
keep all prior remote commitments on disk in the
commitment log, and load that transaction from disk
inside the method. In practice, the one loaded from
disk will be the same one that is passed in by the
caller, so there should be no change in behavior
as we've already derived the appropriate state number.
This changes makes integration with the watchtower
client simpler, since we no longer need to acquire
the breaching commitment transaction to be able to
construct the BreachRetribution. This simplifies
not only the logic surrounding transient backsups,
but also on startup (and later, retroactively
backing up historic updates).
