TechCore Lightning patches flaw that could let revoked channel state escape penalty

Core Lightning fixed a channel-close flaw that, under a specific setup, could make a peer’s revoked commitment appear to be a cooperative close and bypass the penalty for cheating. The project recommends upgrading to v26.06.8 and checking Docker image digests. The issue describes a potential penalty evasion path, not confirmed theft or a Bitcoin base-chain change.
