Conversation
subscribe the outbound transaction protocol to locally broadcast transaction messages and announce them through the existing inv path. the handler preserves the existing was_announced/null-hash behavior and avoids echoing a transaction back to the channel that originated the broadcast. added to support broadcast from sparrow wallet; discovered while testing the silent payments index PRs.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This constitutes fault suppression, as it implies a contract failure that remains unexposed. This could be an assertion, as it should abort the process, and the assertion makes the failure easier to identify and documents the intent. However without the assertion the failure will occur as well.
This is such a common condition we don’t generally bother to assert for it. While some would consider the suppression good defensive programming, really it just condones a bug somewhere else. If this was public API surface the approach would be different, but this is internal communication under contract.
