v25.09.2 Hot Wallet Guardian

v25.09.2 Hot Wallet Guardian II

Bookkeeper and xpay users: please upgrade! This point release includes fixes for xpay, bookkeeper and optimisations for large nodes using bookkeeper.

Changed

• Bookkeeper reduced logging for large imports to increase speed.
• SQL initial load for tables is much faster (e.g 82 to 17 seconds for very large channelmoves table).

Fixed

• Core lightning builds for Ubuntu Focal, Jammy and Noble are deterministic again.
• Bookkeeper first invocation after migration from prior to 25.09 with very large databases will not crash.
• xpay payment parts status will not be pending in failure cases (as seen in listpays or listsendpays).
• Askrene would not enter an infinite loop.
• bcli would fail with "Argument list too long" when sending a giant tx.
• Dealing with giant PSBTs (700 inputs!) is now much faster.
• Assertion crash in bookkeeper when fresh records arrive while multiple queries in progress.
• Bookkeeper now correctly restores chain event blockheights it has derived.

See the changelog for a full list.
