What’s new in my Core Lightning (CLN) stack:

Peer discovery + auto-connect: stop routing through 2–3 fragile hops. The node can now discover, score, and connect to stronger peers automatically (better first-hop reliability, fewer “temporary channel failure” loops).

Node-first utility: CLN isn’t “infra”, it’s the product surface. Everything funnels through the node: payments, routing, automation, and verified delivery.

Lightning-native workflows: payments become execution triggers — fund work, run verification, release outcomes. No fiat ceremony.

Schedule registry + events: chain-side schedules with emitted events (compiler ≥ 6) + a JS module to list schedule events through middleware.

Wallet-connected UX: practical web UI work continues (Aeternity AEX-141 gallery, multi-address selection, clean card layouts) — the boring stuff that makes the system usable.

Security posture: encrypted context + access tokens, with sane fallbacks (node keypair when client keys aren’t available).

This is the direction: a verification economy that routes value using Lightning, and routes truth using BDD.

If you run CLN and care about reliability: your bottleneck is usually your first hop neighborhood. Peer discovery + sane connectivity beats praying at the altar of “the network”.
