The
payment_secret
feature was made mandatory in #1810 and is the default in other implementations as well. We can thus force it to be available when decoding onion payloads, which simplifies downstream components (no need to handle the case where apayment_secret
may be missing anymore).I kept it optional in
PaymentRequest
, otherwise all the spec test vectors would be considered invalid. We may want to update the spec test vectors once all implementations have turned on mandatory support for payment secrets and then make it a non-optional field inPaymentRequest
.
