Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds LDK Server backend support across configuration, setup, API integration, authenticated gRPC operations, event handling, and hold-invoice processing. It also corrects invoice expiry conversion, hardens a frontend alert, and enables build-platform frontend Docker stages.

Changes

LDK Server backend

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and setup flow
config/..., api/..., frontend/src/..., README.md
Adds LDK Server configuration fields, setup inputs, backend metadata, routing, security messaging, persistence, and backend documentation.
Backend launch and API integration
service/start.go, api/api.go
Launches the LDK Server client from persisted configuration. Handles missing node responses and reports Bolt12 support.
LDK Server client implementation
lnclient/ldk-server/ldkserver.go
Adds authenticated HTTP/2 gRPC operations, payment and invoice handling, channel and on-chain operations, event streaming, polling, transaction conversion, and protocol helpers.
Hold-invoice acceptance integration
transactions/..., lnclient/ldk-server/ldkserver_test.go
Matches hold invoices by payment hash when no payment request is present and rejects ambiguous matches. Tests synchronous event publication and acceptance behavior.

Transaction expiry state

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expiry state conversion
nip47/models/transactions.go, nip47/models/transactions_test.go
Marks elapsed invoices as expired only when their transaction state is pending. Tests preserve the accepted state and settle deadline.

Frontend pending balance safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pending balance defaults
frontend/src/components/PendingClosedChannelsAlert.tsx
Uses empty arrays when pending balance details are undefined.

Cross-platform frontend build

Layer / File(s) Summary
Frontend build platform
Dockerfile
Builds the frontend stage on the declared build platform.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 51c5e

This PR adds an unauthenticated LDK Server setup flow that accepts a server-local certificate path, reads arbitrary service-readable files, and retains the bytes in configuration; partial setup failures can also leave mixed credentials or backend settings. Additional runtime and validation issues could cause crashes or incorrect behavior, so the PR is not merge-ready until the filesystem input, setup lifecycle, and runtime safety issues are addressed.

Avoid paginating all payments for hash lookups.

LookupInvoice scans every page returned by listAllPayments, and transactionFromCreatedInvoice calls it for each invoice. Add an ldk-server lookup by payment hash, or maintain a hash-to-PaymentId index before calling GetPaymentDetails; GetPaymentDetails requires PaymentId, which is distinct from the BOLT11 payment hash.

- Around line 1880-1886: Update the /api/setup flow around LDKServerTlsCertFile
to read and validate certificate-only PEM data before calling SetUpdate for
LDKServerTlsCertPem. Parse and canonicalize the certificate PEM, reject
non-certificate or invalid content, and return a generic validation error for
both read and parse failures instead of exposing the underlying filesystem
error.
- Around line 1490-1495: Update RequestMempoolApi’s node-details fallback to
parse the response JSON error field and return an empty map only when the
endpoint is a node-details path, the parsed error equals “Failed to get node,”
and the HTTP status is 404. Preserve normal error handling for server errors and
other statuses, and add coverage for 404, server-error, and whitespace-formatted
JSON responses.
- Around line 1892-1898: Validate setupRequest.LDKServerApiKey in api.Setup
before calling SetUpdate, requiring exactly 64 hexadecimal characters; reject
non-hexadecimal and incorrect-length values with an error, and do not persist
invalid keys. Add tests covering both malformed categories.

In `@lnclient/ldk-server/ldkserver.go`:
- Around line 179-195: Remove the assignments to svc.nodeInfo and svc.pubkey
from GetInfo so the method remains read-only and does not race with GetPubkey or
ListOnchainTransactions; retain the constructor-initialized values and existing
response construction.
- Around line 197-227: Clamp expiry to the valid uint32 range before every
conversion in MakeInvoice and MakeHoldInvoice, mapping negative values to zero
and values above math.MaxUint32 to math.MaxUint32; then use the clamped value
for all invoice request ExpirySecs assignments.
- Around line 1109-1163: Update paymentToTransaction, paymentHashMatches,
SendPaymentSync, and ListOnchainTransactions to use nil-safe protobuf getters
for optional payment kinds, onchain transaction IDs, and onchain statuses;
preserve existing behavior when values are present and avoid panics when
messages are absent, including during subscribeEvents.

🌐 Web query:

Mempool.space API /v1/lightning/nodes/{pubkey} "Failed to get node" HTTP status

💡 Result:

The endpoint GET /api/v1/lightning/nodes/:pubKey is the correct official API route for retrieving information about a specific Lightning Network node on mempool.space [1]. If you are encountering a "Failed to get node" error when calling this endpoint, it typically indicates one of the following scenarios: 1. Node Visibility: The most common cause is that the requested node public key does not exist or has not yet been indexed/seen by the mempool.space lightning node [2]. If the node is new or lacks active public channels, it may not be present in the network graph used by the API [3]. 2. Invalid Public Key: Ensure the pubkey provided is a valid hex-encoded string. 3. Network/Connectivity: Temporary network issues or rate limiting may prevent the request from completing successfully. In programmatic implementations, this error is often handled by checking for a specific error message. For example, some client libraries catch the exception and return null if the error message matches: "This node does not exist, or our node is not seeing it yet" [2]. To troubleshoot: - Verify the public key is correct and publicly visible on the Lightning Network. - Check if the API request is returning a 404 status code (Not Found), which confirms the node is unknown to the mempool instance [2]. - Ensure your implementation correctly handles cases where the API returns a non-200 status code [2]. For further details, consult the official REST API documentation at https://mempool.space/docs/api/rest [1].

Restrict the fallback to HTTP 404 node responses.

RequestMempoolApi returns an empty map with no error for any non-200 response containing "error":"Failed to get node". A server error can therefore be reported as success, and JSON whitespace prevents valid errors from matching. Parse the error field and require HTTP 404. Add tests for 404, server errors, and whitespace-formatted JSON.

Path Traversal (CWE-22): Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Moderate

Validate and canonicalize the LDK Server certificate before persisting it.

The public /api/setup endpoint passes LDKServerTlsCertFile directly to os.ReadFile, then stores the raw contents. A caller can therefore select any readable path and receive the read error in the HTTP response. Parse certificate-only PEM data before SetUpdate, and return a generic validation error for read or parse failures.

Reject malformed LDK Server API keys at the setup boundary.

api.Setup stores every non-empty SetupRequest.LDKServerApiKey. NewLDKServerService checks only for an empty key, then uses it for the initial authenticated GetInfo request. A malformed key can pass setup and cause authentication to fail during startup. Require exactly 64 hexadecimal characters before SetUpdate, and test non-hexadecimal and wrong-length values.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the unsynchronized writes to svc.nodeInfo and svc.pubkey.

GetInfo writes both fields on every call. GetPubkey (Line 176) and ListOnchainTransactions (Line 321) read them from other goroutines, including HTTP request handlers and the event goroutine. No mutex protects the fields, so this is a data race. The race detector fails on concurrent access, and a torn read of nodeInfo can produce a nil dereference at Line 321.

The constructor already sets both fields once. Either drop the assignment in GetInfo or guard both fields with a mutex.

♻️ Proposed fix: keep `GetInfo` read-only
 	info := &lnclient.NodeInfo{
 		Alias:       resp.GetNodeAlias(),
 		Pubkey:      resp.NodeId,
 		Network:     networkToString(resp.Network),
 		BlockHeight: resp.CurrentBestBlock.GetHeight(),
 		BlockHash:   resp.CurrentBestBlock.GetBlockHash(),

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clamp expiry before narrowing it to uint32.

expiry is an int64 that originates from the NIP-47 make_invoice request. uint32(expiry) wraps for values above 4294967295 and for negative values. A caller that requests a very large expiry then receives an invoice with a small or near-maximum expiry. The same conversion exists at Line 217, Line 227, and Line 249.

🐛 Proposed fix
 	if expiry == 0 {
 		expiry = lnclient.DEFAULT_INVOICE_EXPIRY
 	}
+	if expiry < 0 || expiry > math.MaxUint32 {
+		return nil, fmt.Errorf("invalid invoice expiry: %d", expiry)
+	}

Add "math" to the imports and apply the same guard in MakeHoldInvoice.

Use nil-safe getters for optional protobuf messages.

If payment.Kind is absent, direct access in paymentToTransaction, paymentHashMatches, SendPaymentSync, and ListOnchainTransactions can panic. If Onchain.Status is absent, direct status access in ListOnchainTransactions can also panic. Use payment.GetKind().GetKind(), onchain.Onchain.GetTxid(), and onchain.Onchain.GetStatus().GetStatus(). An unhandled panic in subscribeEvents can terminate the Hub process.
