Introduce FundingContributionBuilder API by wpaulino · Pull Request #4516 · lightningdevkit/rust-lightning

wpaulino · 2026-03-27T00:05:20Z

Looking for initial feedback on the design, still needs to be cleaned up a good bit.

Leaving the explicit input support for a follow-up as this PR is large enough already.

Review Summary

New Issues Found (this pass)

lightning/src/ln/funding.rs:418 — When request matches prior exactly but holder_balance is None, the early return skips amend_without_coin_selection, which could succeed for input-backed contributions without needing holder_balance. This forces unnecessary coin selection.
lightning/src/ln/funding.rs:508 — InvalidSpliceValue error message is unhelpful when a user creates a builder from a fresh template and forgets to call add_value or add_output.

Previously Flagged Issues (still present)

lightning/src/ln/funding.rs:836-841 — splice_in/splice_in_sync additive semantics double value_added during RBF when the template carries a prior contribution. The do_initiate_rbf_splice_in test helper (splicing_tests.rs:252) calls splice_in_sync(value_added, ...) on RBF templates, resulting in prior.value_added + value_added.
lightning/src/ln/funding.rs:618-627 — saturating_add/saturating_sub for bitcoin amounts silently produces nonsensical values on overflow/underflow. checked_add/checked_sub with error propagation would be safer.
lightning/src/ln/funding.rs:661-777 — add_value/remove_value/add_output/remove_outputs methods duplicated across AsyncFundingBuilder and SyncFundingBuilder impl blocks with identical docs and implementations. Could be deduplicated.
lightning/src/ln/funding.rs:727,804 — Unnecessary return keyword in final expression position.
lightning/src/ln/funding.rs:908-920 — rbf_prior_contribution now requires a prior contribution, removing the old fee-bump-only capability without directing users to the builder alternative.

Could we make a private add_outputs that simply moves the input Vec?

Could we do this?

+impl FundingTemplate {


Hmm... I think the diff may be saner if these methods were kept in the original impl block.

The methods haven't moved, rather the diffing logic isn't happy with FundingBuilder being added above FundingTemplate.

Yeah, so can't we leave these in the other impl block (i.e., below without_prior_contribution)?

Currently, we have build_funding_contribution and the FundingTemplate impl block removals split across two FundingBuilderInner impl blocks, a FundingBuilder impl block, an AsyncFundingBuilder impl block, and a SyncFundingBuilder impl block.

I didn't look too deeply at the tests but basically LGTM.

lightning/src/ln/funding.rs

It does not require coin selection, so the wallet argument is not necessary.

This commit introduces a `FundingBuilder`, following the builder pattern, to iteratively construct a `FundingContribution`. It supports adding/removing value (which may trigger a coin selection attempt), adding/remove outputs, and amending prior contributions (which was previously not possible). A `FundingBuilder` may be obtained in two ways: via `FundingTemplate::contribution_builder` (which resumes from the prior contribution to amend if available) or `FundingTemplate::without_prior_contribution_builder` to start from scratch and fully replace the prior contribution. When `FundingBuilder::build` is called, we attempt to build the contribution iteratively such that coin selection is our last resort. The splice-related convenience methods on `FundingTemplate` now map to the `FundingBuilder` under the hood.

Had to rebase due to a small import conflict.

+					return Some(adjusted);
+				}
+			}
+			return None;


Bug: When the request matches the prior exactly but holder_balance is None, this early return at line 418 skips amend_without_coin_selection entirely. For input-backed contributions, amend_without_coin_selection does not need holder_balance (lines 1157-1211 don't use it), so it could succeed. This means rbf_prior_contribution_sync(None, max_feerate, wallet) unnecessarily re-runs coin selection for input-backed prior contributions when holder_balance is None — potentially yielding a different input set than the prior had.

This is covered by the test at line 2890 (test_rbf_sync_holder_balance_none_falls_through_to_coin_selection), which expects coin selection, so this appears intentional. But worth noting that the amend_without_coin_selection path could handle this case without requiring a wallet.

 		}

+		if self.value_added == Amount::ZERO && self.outputs.is_empty() {
+			return Err(FundingContributionError::InvalidSpliceValue);


The validation here catches value_added == 0 && outputs.is_empty(), which blocks the RBF "same request" path for splice-out prior contributions that had value_added == 0 and outputs == []. While this shouldn't arise in normal use (a prior contribution with both zero is meaningless), there's a subtle interaction: if someone calls with_prior_contribution(...) on a fresh template (no prior) without calling any mutation methods, they'd hit this error. The error message "Invalid splice value" doesn't hint that they need to call add_value or add_output first. Consider a more descriptive variant like EmptyContribution or adding a hint to the InvalidSpliceValue display message.

needs rebase again tho

Code looks good, but I think merging some impl blocks will help the diff.

Can this be combined with the other impl block for FundingBuilderInner?
