The LDK dependency bump introduced a new splicing API that separates negotiation from coin selection, letting LDK handle transaction construction internally rather than requiring manual UTXO selection and change address management.

👋 Hi! I see this is a draft PR.
I'll wait to assign reviewers until you mark it as ready for review.
Just convert it out of draft status when you're ready for review!

@tnull I'm wondering if we should implement CoinSelectionSource and use this rather than using LdkWallet for UTXO selection. It would prevent double persistence when we need a change output and the need for an explicit persist method after selection.

Yeah, that seems preferable, if we have everything we need in the API by now?

Right, I think the question may be whether we use our own CoinSelectionSource for anchor bumping, too. It depends on how UTXO locking will work. LdkWallet manages whether or not to try to double-spend based on the claim id, whereas for splicing we may accidentally double spend one of those if using our own CoinSelectionSource. Pushed a fixup commit implementing CoinSelectionSource for splicing.

Huh, well the branch shows the fixup. Not sure why the PR hasn't updated.

It would be great to reuse the same codepaths, IMO. That is, if the API now permits for it.

Right, we're still waiting on bitcoindevkit/bdk_wallet#259 to ship with BDK 3.0. For now I'm not sure if we'd then need to also do some tracking based on ClaimId.

Uh, let's not panic if someone includes Cashu instructions in the string above. Could just error and skip if this is hit.
