No issues found.

I reviewed the entire diff and traced the supporting code paths:

max_final_value_msat now returns Result<(usize, u64), usize>, returning idx + 1 on aggregate-fee overflow. This index is always in bounds, since overflow can only occur when at least one downstream hop exists (compute_aggregated_base_prop_fee returns Ok((0,0)) for an empty iterator), so idx + 1 <= hops.len() - 1.
The get_route handler indexes payment_path.hops[candidate_idx_to_skip] safely, logs, marks the candidate exhausted, and continue 'paths_collection. used_liquidities persists across loop iterations, and add_entry saturating-subtracts the u64::MAX value to 0, excluding the candidate — so progress is guaranteed and no infinite loop occurs.
mark_candidate_liquidity_exhausted writes both (scid, false)/(scid, true) for clear hops and candidate.id() for the no-scid case, which is consistent with the keys read in max_final_value_msat (hop.candidate.id()) and add_entry ($candidate.id()).
The test correctly disables the fee cap (max_total_routing_fee_msat: None) and uses two route-hint hops with proportional_millionths: u32::MAX to trigger the overflow, asserting route.is_err().

Minor (non-blocking) cross-cutting note: the new mark_candidate_liquidity_exhausted helper overlaps with the inline scid-marking block at router.rs:3697-3700 (victim_candidate). Per the repo's DRY guidance that block could call the helper, though doing so would also add the no-scid/blinded else branch, which is a slight behavior change — so leaving it as-is is defensible.

The fact that this can't index OOB is incredibly subtle (compute_aggregated_base_prop_fee won't fail if next_hops_feerates_iter is empty, which will happen if we're at the end). Might be worth clarifying somewhere in a comment.

v0.1.10 - Jun 18, 2026 - "Loupe de Loupe" API Updates =========== * `DefaultMessageRouter` will now always generate blinded message paths that provide no privacy (where our node is the introduction node) for nodes with public channels. This works around an issue which will appear for any nodes with LND peers that enable onion messaging - such peers will refuse to forward BOLT 12 messages from unknown third parties, which most BOLT 12 payers rely on today (#4647). * Explicit `amount_msats` of 0 is rejected in BOLT 12 `Offer`s; `OfferBuilder` now maps 0-amounts to an amount of `None` (#4324). Bug Fixes ========= * Async `ChannelMonitorUpdate` persistence operations which complete, but are not marked as complete in a persisted `ChannelManager` prior to restart, followed immediately by a block connection and then another restart could result in some channel operations hanging leading for force-closures (#4377). * If an MPP payment is claimed but `ChannelMonitorUpdate`s for some parts are still being completed asynchronously, further channel updates (e.g. forwarding another payment) are pending and the node restarts, the channel could have become stuck (#4520). * The presence of unconfirmed transactions actually no longer causes `ElectrumSyncClient` to spuriously fail to sync (#4590). * `FilesystemStore::list_all_keys` will no longer fail if there are stale intermediate files lying around from a previous unclean shutdown (#4618). * When forwarding an HTLC while in a blinded path with proportional fees over 200%, LDK will no longer spuriously allow a forward that pays us 1 msat too little in fees (#4697). * Fixed a rare case where a channel could get stuck on reconnect when using both async `ChannelMonitorUpdate` persistence and async signing (#4684). * `Event::PaymentSent::fee_paid_msat` is no longer `None` in cases where `ChannelManager::abandon_payment` was called before the payment ultimately completes anyway (#4651). * Syncing a `ChainMonitor` using the `Confirm` trait will no longer write some full `ChannelMonitor`s to disk several times per block (#4544). * `OMDomainResolver` now correctly accounts for failed queries when rate limiting, ensuring we continue to respond to queries after failures (#4591). * Calling `ChannelManager::send_payment_with_route` without a `route_params` and with an invalid `Route` will no longer panic (#4707). * `lightning-custom-message`'s handling of `peer_connected` events now ensures that sub-handlers will see a `peer_disconnected` event if a different sub-handler refused the connection by `Err`ing `peer_connected` (#4595). * Incomplete MPP keysend payments will no longer see their HTLCs held until expiry (#4558). * `InvoiceRequestBuilder` will no longer accept a `quantity` of `0` for a BOLT 12 `Offer`, allowing any quantity up to a bound (#4667). * `lightning-custom-message` handlers that return `Ok(None)` when asked to deserialize a message in their defined range no longer cause panics (#4709). * Several spurious debug assertions were fixed (#4537, #4618). Security ======== 0.1.10 fixes a sanitization issue and several denial-of-service vulnerabilities. * `Bolt11Invoice::recover_payee_pub_key` no longer panics if called on an invoice which set an explicit public key, rather than relying on public key recovery. This method is called from `payment_parameters_from_invoice` and `payment_parameters_from_variable_amount_invoice` (#4717). * Maliciously-crafted unpayable invoices which have overflowing feerates will no longer cause an `unwrap` failure panic (#4716). * `possiblyrandom` did not properly generate random data except when it was explicitly configured to. By default this means LDK is vulnerable to various HashDoS attacks (#4719). * `OMNameResolver` will no longer panic when looking up payment instructions which include unicode characters at the start of a TXT record (#4718). * `PrintableString` did not properly sanitize unicode format characters, allowing an attacker to corrupt the rendering of logs or UI (#4593, #4605). * RGS data is now limited in how large of a graph it is able to cause a client to store in memory. Note that RGS data is still considered a DoS vector in general and you should only use semi-trusted RGS data (#4713). * Counterparty-provided strings in failure messages are no longer logged in full, reducing the ability of such a counterparty to spam our logs (#4714). * Reading a corrupted `ChannelManager` or `ProbabilisticScorer` can no longer cause us to allocate large amounts of memory (#4712). Thanks to Project Loupe for reporting most of the issues fixed in this release.

max_final_value_msat now returns Result<(usize, u64), usize>, returning idx + 1 on aggregate-fee overflow. This index is always in bounds, since overflow can only occur when at least one downstream hop exists (compute_aggregated_base_prop_fee returns Ok((0,0)) for an empty iterator), so idx + 1 <= hops.len() - 1.
The get_route handler indexes payment_path.hops[candidate_idx_to_skip] safely, logs, marks the candidate exhausted, and continue 'paths_collection. used_liquidities persists across loop iterations, and add_entry saturating-subtracts the u64::MAX value to 0, excluding the candidate — so progress is guaranteed and no infinite loop occurs.
mark_candidate_liquidity_exhausted writes both (scid, false)/(scid, true) for clear hops and candidate.id() for the no-scid case, which is consistent with the keys read in max_final_value_msat (hop.candidate.id()) and add_entry ($candidate.id()).
The test correctly disables the fee cap (max_total_routing_fee_msat: None) and uses two route-hint hops with proportional_millionths: u32::MAX to trigger the overflow, asserting route.is_err().

Minor (non-blocking) cross-cutting note: the new mark_candidate_liquidity_exhausted helper overlaps with the inline scid-marking block at router.rs:3697-3700 (victim_candidate). Per the repo's DRY guidance that block could call the helper, though doing so would also add the no-scid/blinded else branch, which is a slight behavior change — so leaving it as-is is defensible.

The fact that this can't index OOB is incredibly subtle (compute_aggregated_base_prop_fee won't fail if next_hops_feerates_iter is empty, which will happen if we're at the end). Might be worth clarifying somewhere in a comment.

v0.1.10 - Jun 18, 2026 - "Loupe de Loupe" API Updates =========== * `DefaultMessageRouter` will now always generate blinded message paths that provide no privacy (where our node is the introduction node) for nodes with public channels. This works around an issue which will appear for any nodes with LND peers that enable onion messaging - such peers will refuse to forward BOLT 12 messages from unknown third parties, which most BOLT 12 payers rely on today (#4647). * Explicit `amount_msats` of 0 is rejected in BOLT 12 `Offer`s; `OfferBuilder` now maps 0-amounts to an amount of `None` (#4324). Bug Fixes ========= * Async `ChannelMonitorUpdate` persistence operations which complete, but are not marked as complete in a persisted `ChannelManager` prior to restart, followed immediately by a block connection and then another restart could result in some channel operations hanging leading for force-closures (#4377). * If an MPP payment is claimed but `ChannelMonitorUpdate`s for some parts are still being completed asynchronously, further channel updates (e.g. forwarding another payment) are pending and the node restarts, the channel could have become stuck (#4520). * The presence of unconfirmed transactions actually no longer causes `ElectrumSyncClient` to spuriously fail to sync (#4590). * `FilesystemStore::list_all_keys` will no longer fail if there are stale intermediate files lying around from a previous unclean shutdown (#4618). * When forwarding an HTLC while in a blinded path with proportional fees over 200%, LDK will no longer spuriously allow a forward that pays us 1 msat too little in fees (#4697). * Fixed a rare case where a channel could get stuck on reconnect when using both async `ChannelMonitorUpdate` persistence and async signing (#4684). * `Event::PaymentSent::fee_paid_msat` is no longer `None` in cases where `ChannelManager::abandon_payment` was called before the payment ultimately completes anyway (#4651). * Syncing a `ChainMonitor` using the `Confirm` trait will no longer write some full `ChannelMonitor`s to disk several times per block (#4544). * `OMDomainResolver` now correctly accounts for failed queries when rate limiting, ensuring we continue to respond to queries after failures (#4591). * Calling `ChannelManager::send_payment_with_route` without a `route_params` and with an invalid `Route` will no longer panic (#4707). * `lightning-custom-message`'s handling of `peer_connected` events now ensures that sub-handlers will see a `peer_disconnected` event if a different sub-handler refused the connection by `Err`ing `peer_connected` (#4595). * Incomplete MPP keysend payments will no longer see their HTLCs held until expiry (#4558). * `InvoiceRequestBuilder` will no longer accept a `quantity` of `0` for a BOLT 12 `Offer`, allowing any quantity up to a bound (#4667). * `lightning-custom-message` handlers that return `Ok(None)` when asked to deserialize a message in their defined range no longer cause panics (#4709). * Several spurious debug assertions were fixed (#4537, #4618). Security ======== 0.1.10 fixes a sanitization issue and several denial-of-service vulnerabilities. * `Bolt11Invoice::recover_payee_pub_key` no longer panics if called on an invoice which set an explicit public key, rather than relying on public key recovery. This method is called from `payment_parameters_from_invoice` and `payment_parameters_from_variable_amount_invoice` (#4717). * Maliciously-crafted unpayable invoices which have overflowing feerates will no longer cause an `unwrap` failure panic (#4716). * `possiblyrandom` did not properly generate random data except when it was explicitly configured to. By default this means LDK is vulnerable to various HashDoS attacks (#4719). * `OMNameResolver` will no longer panic when looking up payment instructions which include unicode characters at the start of a TXT record (#4718). * `PrintableString` did not properly sanitize unicode format characters, allowing an attacker to corrupt the rendering of logs or UI (#4593, #4605). * RGS data is now limited in how large of a graph it is able to cause a client to store in memory. Note that RGS data is still considered a DoS vector in general and you should only use semi-trusted RGS data (#4713). * Counterparty-provided strings in failure messages are no longer logged in full, reducing the ability of such a counterparty to spam our logs (#4714). * Reading a corrupted `ChannelManager` or `ProbabilisticScorer` can no longer cause us to allocate large amounts of memory (#4712).

The test correctly disables the fee cap (max_total_routing_fee_msat: None) and uses two route-hint hops with proportional_millionths: u32::MAX to trigger the overflow, asserting route.is_err().

Minor (non-blocking) cross-cutting note: the new mark_candidate_liquidity_exhausted helper overlaps with the inline scid-marking block at router.rs:3697-3700 (victim_candidate). Per the repo's DRY guidance that block could call the helper, though doing so would also add the no-scid/blinded else branch, which is a slight behavior change — so leaving it as-is is defensible.

The fact that this can't index OOB is incredibly subtle (compute_aggregated_base_prop_fee won't fail if next_hops_feerates_iter is empty, which will happen if we're at the end). Might be worth clarifying somewhere in a comment.

v0.1.10 - Jun 18, 2026 - "Loupe de Loupe" API Updates =========== * `DefaultMessageRouter` will now always generate blinded message paths that provide no privacy (where our node is the introduction node) for nodes with public channels. This works around an issue which will appear for any nodes with LND peers that enable onion messaging - such peers will refuse to forward BOLT 12 messages from unknown third parties, which most BOLT 12 payers rely on today (#4647). * Explicit `amount_msats` of 0 is rejected in BOLT 12 `Offer`s; `OfferBuilder` now maps 0-amounts to an amount of `None` (#4324). Bug Fixes ========= * Async `ChannelMonitorUpdate` persistence operations which complete, but are not marked as complete in a persisted `ChannelManager` prior to restart, followed immediately by a block connection and then another restart could result in some channel operations hanging leading for force-closures (#4377). * If an MPP payment is claimed but `ChannelMonitorUpdate`s for some parts are still being completed asynchronously, further channel updates (e.g. forwarding another payment) are pending and the node restarts, the channel could have become stuck (#4520). * The presence of unconfirmed transactions actually no longer causes `ElectrumSyncClient` to spuriously fail to sync (#4590). * `FilesystemStore::list_all_keys` will no longer fail if there are stale intermediate files lying around from a previous unclean shutdown (#4618). * When forwarding an HTLC while in a blinded path with proportional fees over 200%, LDK will no longer spuriously allow a forward that pays us 1 msat too little in fees (#4697). * Fixed a rare case where a channel could get stuck on reconnect when using both async `ChannelMonitorUpdate` persistence and async signing (#4684). * `Event::PaymentSent::fee_paid_msat` is no longer `None` in cases where `ChannelManager::abandon_payment` was called before the payment ultimately completes anyway (#4651). * Syncing a `ChainMonitor` using the `Confirm` trait will no longer write some full `ChannelMonitor`s to disk several times per block (#4544). * `OMDomainResolver` now correctly accounts for failed queries when rate limiting, ensuring we continue to respond to queries after failures (#4591). * Calling `ChannelManager::send_payment_with_route` without a `route_params` and with an invalid `Route` will no longer panic (#4707). * `lightning-custom-message`'s handling of `peer_connected` events now ensures that sub-handlers will see a `peer_disconnected` event if a different sub-handler refused the connection by `Err`ing `peer_connected` (#4595). * Incomplete MPP keysend payments will no longer see their HTLCs held until expiry (#4558). * `InvoiceRequestBuilder` will no longer accept a `quantity` of `0` for a BOLT 12 `Offer`, allowing any quantity up to a bound (#4667). * `lightning-custom-message` handlers that return `Ok(None)` when asked to deserialize a message in their defined range no longer cause panics (#4709). * Several spurious debug assertions were fixed (#4537, #4618). Security ======== 0.1.10 fixes a sanitization issue and several denial-of-service vulnerabilities. * `Bolt11Invoice::recover_payee_pub_key` no longer panics if called on an invoice which set an explicit public key, rather than relying on public key recovery. This method is called from `payment_parameters_from_invoice` and `payment_parameters_from_variable_amount_invoice` (#4717). * Maliciously-crafted unpayable invoices which have overflowing feerates will no longer cause an `unwrap` failure panic (#4716). * `possiblyrandom` did not properly generate random data except when it was explicitly configured to. By default this means LDK is vulnerable to various HashDoS attacks (#4719). * `OMNameResolver` will no longer panic when looking up payment instructions which include unicode characters at the start of a TXT record (#4718). * `PrintableString` did not properly sanitize unicode format characters, allowing an attacker to corrupt the rendering of logs or UI (#4593, #4605). * RGS data is now limited in how large of a graph it is able to cause a client to store in memory. Note that RGS data is still considered a DoS vector in general and you should only use semi-trusted RGS data (#4713). * Counterparty-provided strings in failure messages are no longer logged in full, reducing the ability of such a counterparty to spam our logs (#4714). * Reading a corrupted `ChannelManager` or `ProbabilisticScorer` can no longer cause us to allocate large amounts of memory (#4712).

I reviewed the entire diff and traced the supporting code paths:

The get_route handler indexes payment_path.hops[candidate_idx_to_skip] safely, logs, marks the candidate exhausted, and continue 'paths_collection. used_liquidities persists across loop iterations, and add_entry saturating-subtracts the u64::MAX value to 0, excluding the candidate — so progress is guaranteed and no infinite loop occurs.

Per the repo's DRY guidance that block could call the helper, though doing so would also add the no-scid/blinded else branch, which is a slight behavior change — so leaving it as-is is defensible.

The fact that this can't index OOB is incredibly subtle (compute_aggregated_base_prop_fee won't fail if next_hops_feerates_iter is empty, which will happen if we're at the end). Might be worth clarifying somewhere in a comment.

Crafted route hints can overflow aggregate downstream proportional fees when the payer disables the routing fee cap. Treat such paths as unusable so route finding fails cleanly instead of panicking.

I've assigned @wpaulino as a reviewer!
I'll wait for their review and will help manage the review process.
Once they submit their review, I'll check if a second reviewer would be helpful.

ldk-claude-review-bot · 2026-06-18T15:56:14Z

No issues found.

I reviewed the entire diff and traced the supporting code paths:

max_final_value_msat now returns Result<(usize, u64), usize>, returning idx + 1 on aggregate-fee overflow. This index is always in bounds, since overflow can only occur when at least one downstream hop exists (compute_aggregated_base_prop_fee returns Ok((0,0)) for an empty iterator), so idx + 1 <= hops.len() - 1.
The get_route handler indexes payment_path.hops[candidate_idx_to_skip] safely, logs, marks the candidate exhausted, and continue 'paths_collection. used_liquidities persists across loop iterations, and add_entry saturating-subtracts the u64::MAX value to 0, excluding the candidate — so progress is guaranteed and no infinite loop occurs.
mark_candidate_liquidity_exhausted writes both (scid, false)/(scid, true) for clear hops and candidate.id() for the no-scid case, which is consistent with the keys read in max_final_value_msat (hop.candidate.id()) and add_entry ($candidate.id()).
The test correctly disables the fee cap (max_total_routing_fee_msat: None) and uses two route-hint hops with proportional_millionths: u32::MAX to trigger the overflow, asserting route.is_err().

Minor (non-blocking) cross-cutting note: the new mark_candidate_liquidity_exhausted helper overlaps with the inline scid-marking block at router.rs:3697-3700 (victim_candidate). Per the repo's DRY guidance that block could call the helper, though doing so would also add the no-scid/blinded else branch, which is a slight behavior change — so leaving it as-is is defensible.
