Adds `expected_msat_override` to the `invoice_check_payment` check. If it's set, it will be used to override the invoice amount as the expected amount of the payment check. This enables us to charge a different amount for a payment than the amount stated on the invoice. Signed-off-by: Peter Neuroth <[email protected]>
This commit introduces a new field `invoice_msat` to the htlc_accepted hook. If this field is specified it will replace the amount of the invoice that belongs to the payment_hash of the HTLC on internal checks. This is useful in scenarios where we actually expect a smaller amount than initially specified in an invoice. Changelog-Changed: Plugins: `htlc_accepted` hook can now override the expected total amount of the invoice that belongs to the HTLC. Signed-off-by: Peter Neuroth <[email protected]>

Allow plugins to override the effective invoice amount during payment checks from the
htlc_acceptedhook. This enables use-cases where the actually expected (or allowed) amount differs from the amount encoded in the original invoice.This is especially useful for LSP clients on Greenlight. An LSP client expects an amount that is reduced by the opening fee that the LSP deducts from the HTLC set belonging to a certain invoice. Typically that would necessitate signing two different invoices with the same payment hash: one with the expected amount and another with the opening fee added to the amount. Using this hook instead saves Greenlight nodes some round trips to the signer.
