This would help distinguish different types of errors when deserialzing a channel manager. InvalidValue was used previously but this could be because it is an old serialization format, whereas DangerousValue is a lot more clear on why the deserialization failed.

Sure, seems reasonable. Minor gripe in your PR description - we dont fail to read old serialization formats, at least not any version of LDK in the past few years, InvalidValue indicates a bug or corrupt data.

We should be a bit more forceful here, its not just that its "in the past", but that it is corrupt or out of sync with the ChannelMonitors in such a way that indicates that the lightning node being operated has a critical bug in its storage layer and using this lightning node is critically unsafe.

This is really invalid/corrupt, not really "something is horribly wrong"

I don't think this is generally the approach we should take, though maybe it is fine for the short term. I'd much rather decouple deserialization from sanity checks using some intermediary representation or enum that has state transitions. Possibly folding it into something like this: #2819 (comment). But that's a larger refactor.

I feel like #2819 (comment) is unrelated. While I'm definitely a fan of cleaning up the code by separating concerns, I'm not sure why the public API has to expose that concept. Ignoring #2819 (comment) that would just mean additional code on the client's side for no reason.

Change looks good by itself, mod two nits.

Also not 100% sure if introducing a custom serialization error variant for this single use case is the way to go. So I'll give @jkczyz the chance to respond.

That's my feeling too, but I'm ok with having it for now until we do a larger refactor.

I'm not necessarily saying the transition from deserialized to uninitialized needs to be exposed as part of the API, but the error type in the API would need to differentiate between a DecodeError a DangerousState, likely by using an enum with different variants. Similar to what we do when parsing offer messages.

I agree with @jkczyz this isn't the cleanest way to do this, but would like to add error handling for this and there really isn't a way to correctly match on this specific error that should be handled differently than a normal decode error

This would help distinguish different types of errors when deserialzing
a channel manager. InvalidValue was used previously but this could be
because it is an old serialization format, whereas DangerousValue is a
lot more clear on why the deserialization failed.

Gonna go ahead and land, it seems like we're all on the same page that a more general API overhaul for ChannelManager deser would be nice, but this is at least useful information for users for now.

v0.0.123 - May 08, 2024 - "BOLT12 Dust Sweeping"
API Updates
===========
* To reduce risk of force-closures and improve HTLC reliability the default
dust exposure limit has been increased to
`MaxDustHTLCExposure::FeeRateMultiplier(10_000)`. Users with existing
channels might want to consider using
`ChannelManager::update_channel_config` to apply the new default (lightningdevkit#3045).
* `ChainMonitor::archive_fully_resolved_channel_monitors` is now provided to
remove from memory `ChannelMonitor`s that have been fully resolved on-chain
and are now not needed. It uses the new `Persist::archive_persisted_channel`
to inform the storage layer that such a monitor should be archived (lightningdevkit#2964).
* An `OutputSweeper` is now provided which will automatically sweep
`SpendableOutputDescriptor`s, retrying until the sweep confirms (lightningdevkit#2825).
* After initiating an outbound channel, a peer disconnection no longer results
in immediate channel closure. Rather, if the peer is reconnected before the
channel times out LDK will automatically retry opening it (lightningdevkit#2725).
* `PaymentPurpose` now has separate variants for BOLT12 payments, which
include fields from the `invoice_request` as well as the `OfferId` (lightningdevkit#2970).
* `ChannelDetails` now includes a list of in-flight HTLCs (lightningdevkit#2442).
* `Event::PaymentForwarded` now includes `skimmed_fee_msat` (lightningdevkit#2858).
* The `hashbrown` dependency has been upgraded and the use of `ahash` as the
no-std hash table hash function has been removed. As a consequence, LDK's
`Hash{Map,Set}`s no longer feature several constructors when LDK is built
with no-std; see the `util::hash_tables` module instead. On platforms that
`getrandom` supports, setting the `possiblyrandom/getrandom` feature flag
will ensure hash tables are resistant to HashDoS attacks, though the
`possiblyrandom` crate should detect most common platforms (lightningdevkit#2810, lightningdevkit#2891).
* `ChannelMonitor`-originated requests to the `ChannelSigner` can now fail and
be retried using `ChannelMonitor::signer_unblocked` (lightningdevkit#2816).
* `SpendableOutputDescriptor::to_psbt_input` now includes the `witness_script`
where available as well as new proprietary data which can be used to
re-derive some spending keys from the base key (lightningdevkit#2761, lightningdevkit#3004).
* `OutPoint::to_channel_id` has been removed in favor of
`ChannelId::v1_from_funding_outpoint` in preparation for v2 channels with a
different `ChannelId` derivation scheme (lightningdevkit#2797).
* `PeerManager::get_peer_node_ids` has been replaced with `list_peers` and
`peer_by_node_id`, which provide more details (lightningdevkit#2905).
* `Bolt11Invoice::get_payee_pub_key` is now provided (lightningdevkit#2909).
* `Default[Message]Router` now take an `entropy_source` argument (lightningdevkit#2847).
* `ClosureReason::HTLCsTimedOut` has been separated out from
`ClosureReason::HolderForceClosed` as it is the most common case (lightningdevkit#2887).
* `ClosureReason::CooperativeClosure` is now split into
`{Counterparty,Locally}Initiated` variants (lightningdevkit#2863).
* `Event::ChannelPending::channel_type` is now provided (lightningdevkit#2872).
* `PaymentForwarded::{prev,next}_user_channel_id` are now provided (lightningdevkit#2924).
* Channel init messages have been refactored towards V2 channels (lightningdevkit#2871).
* `BumpTransactionEvent` now contains the channel and counterparty (lightningdevkit#2873).
* `util::scid_utils` is now public, with some trivial utilities to examine
short channel ids (lightningdevkit#2694).
* `DirectedChannelInfo::{source,target}` are now public (lightningdevkit#2870).
* Bounds in `lightning-background-processor` were simplified by using
`AChannelManager` (lightningdevkit#2963).
* The `Persist` impl for `KVStore` no longer requires `Sized`, allowing for
the use of `dyn KVStore` as `Persist` (lightningdevkit#2883, lightningdevkit#2976).
* `From<PaymentPreimage>` is now implemented for `PaymentHash` (lightningdevkit#2918).
* `NodeId::from_slice` is now provided (lightningdevkit#2942).
* `ChannelManager` deserialization may now fail with `DangerousValue` when
LDK's persistence API was violated (lightningdevkit#2974).
Bug Fixes
=========
* Excess fees on counterparty commitment transactions are now included in the
dust exposure calculation. This lines behavior up with some cases where
transaction fees can be burnt, making them effectively dust exposure (lightningdevkit#3045).
* `Future`s used as an `std::...::Future` could grow in size unbounded if it
was never woken. For those not using async persistence and using the async
`lightning-background-processor`, this could cause a memory leak in the
`ChainMonitor` (lightningdevkit#2894).
* Inbound channel requests that fail in
`ChannelManager::accept_inbound_channel` would previously have stalled from
the peer's perspective as no `error` message was sent (lightningdevkit#2953).
* Blinded path construction has been tuned to select paths more likely to
succeed, improving BOLT12 payment reliability (lightningdevkit#2911, lightningdevkit#2912).
* After a reorg, `lightning-transaction-sync` could have failed to follow a
transaction that LDK needed information about (lightningdevkit#2946).
* `RecipientOnionFields`' `custom_tlvs` are now propagated to recipients when
paying with blinded paths (lightningdevkit#2975).
* `Event::ChannelClosed` is now properly generated and peers are properly
notified for all channels that as a part of a batch channel open fail to be
funded (lightningdevkit#3029).
* In cases where user event processing is substantially delayed such that we
complete multiple round-trips with our peers before a `PaymentSent` event is
handled and then restart without persisting the `ChannelManager` after having
persisted a `ChannelMonitor[Update]`, on startup we may have `Err`d trying to
deserialize the `ChannelManager` (lightningdevkit#3021).
* If a peer has relatively high latency, `PeerManager` may have failed to
establish a connection (lightningdevkit#2993).
* `ChannelUpdate` messages broadcasted for our own channel closures are now
slightly more robust (lightningdevkit#2731).
* Deserializing malformed BOLT11 invoices may have resulted in an integer
overflow panic in debug builds (lightningdevkit#3032).
* In exceedingly rare cases (no cases of this are known), LDK may have created
an invalid serialization for a `ChannelManager` (lightningdevkit#2998).
* Message processing latency handling BOLT12 payments has been reduced (lightningdevkit#2881).
* Latency in processing `Event::SpendableOutputs` may be reduced (lightningdevkit#3033).
Node Compatibility
==================
* LDK's blinded paths were inconsistent with other implementations in several
ways, which have been addressed (lightningdevkit#2856, lightningdevkit#2936, lightningdevkit#2945).
* LDK's messaging blinded paths now support the latest features which some
nodes may begin relying on soon (lightningdevkit#2961).
* LDK's BOLT12 structs have been updated to support some last-minute changes to
the spec (lightningdevkit#3017, lightningdevkit#3018).
* CLN v24.02 requires the `gossip_queries` feature for all peers, however LDK
by default does not set it for those not using a `P2PGossipSync` (e.g. those
using RGS). This change was reverted in CLN v24.02.2 however for now LDK
always sets the `gossip_queries` feature. This change is expected to be
reverted in a future LDK release (lightningdevkit#2959).
Security
========
0.0.123 fixes a denial-of-service vulnerability which we believe to be reachable
from untrusted input when parsing invalid BOLT11 invoices containing non-ASCII
characters.
* BOLT11 invoices with non-ASCII characters in the human-readable-part may
cause an out-of-bounds read attempt leading to a panic (lightningdevkit#3054). Note that all
BOLT11 invoices containing non-ASCII characters are invalid.
