There was a problem hiding this comment.
A couple of minor comments, specifically the elements check for 300-546sat outputs is likely important.

(Fixes #8552)
Depends on #8493 (this PR is stacked on top of the P2TR dust limit fix)
Problem
When a node restarts after exchanging announcement_signatures with a peer - the remote_sigs are loaded from the database during channel_gossip_init(). But when the peer reconnects, it may not resend announcement_signatures if it already sent them before the disconnect!
This causes the channel to get stuck in CGOSSIP_WAITING_FOR_MATCHING_PEER_SIGS state forever, preventing the channel from being announced to the network.
Solution
Modified channel_gossip_channel_reestablished() in channel_gossip.c to check if we already have remote_sigs loaded from the database. If we do - we call update_gossip_state() to attempt to progress the channel gossip state machine instead of waiting forever for the peer to resend signatures
Added comprehensive tests in test_gossip_announcement.py:
test_channel_announcement_after_restart_with_saved_sigs: Reproduces the exact scenario from issue A specific channel is not announcing my side #8552 (channel announcement after node restart)
test_channel_announcement_reconnect_without_restart: Verifies channel announcement works after simple reconnect without restart
