Three maintenance releases, one protocol research thread
A quiet Monday. Three incremental releases touched Nostr Lightning, self-hosted bookmarking, and Bitcoin wallet tooling. The only protocol activity was a Delving Bitcoin thread exploring full-node storage reduction without consensus changes. No Lightning daemon work, no privacy patches, no AI infrastructure. The cln-nip47 release added hold-invoice methods to the Nostr Wallet Connect bridge; the other two carried no actionable changes for most operators.
