Core Lightning patch leads mixed AI and Bitcoin day
Core Lightning 26.06.7 appeared as a news item, recommended for every node runner. AI infrastructure took four slots: koboldcpp added DirectIO load mode and fixed failsafe selection, llama.cpp reduced Qwen4Exp graph splits, Claude Code shipped a restricted mode stripping command and code tools, and Anthropic SDK PHP exposed Admin API organization resources. Bitcoin delivered Cashu TS 4.10.0 backporting v5 rc.8 work and Stack Wallet mwebd 0.1.19 for Windows. Privacy and self-hosting rounded out the wire with Mullvad Browser 16.0a10 and Immich 3.2.0-rc.1. Bitcoin Optech covered opt-in replay protection and HWI entering maintenance mode. EFF published recommendations for Brazil elections data protection.
