Feb 5, 2025
This commit introduces the structure for a new endpoint in the accounts subsystem, enabling balance adjustments by adding or deducting a specified amount. This contrasts with the existing `UpdateAccount` implementation, which directly sets the balance to a fixed value. For more details on the drawbacks of the current implementation, see [issue lightninglabs#648](lightninglabs#648). The actual implementation of the endpoint will be introduced in subsequent commits.

The functionality of the update command is that the command takes a id for an account, and then allows you to specify certain properties of the account to overwrite the account property value with.
One of the properties the command accepts, it to overwrite the
account_balance
with a specified value. This command will usually be used if you'd like to for example increase the account balance by 100k sats or similar.However, using the command that way, is quite dangerous as the normal user flow would be as follows:
200k+100k=300k
update
command to set the value to 300k.Now the issue with this user flow, is that the the account user might have either received a payment to an invoice increasing the balance, or made a payment decreasing the balance, between step 1 and 3. Step 3 would then overwrite that account balance update. Say the accounts user makes a payment of 150k sats between step 1 and 3. The actual user account balance should be 150k after step 3, but will be 300k, meaning the account user profited 150k sats.
Another an issue we have, is that if a user receives an invoice update for a type of invoice we don't support (AMP invoices currently), or a payment that somehow errors, the entire account service will error be disabled for all accounts, and will be disabled even on next startup of litd when we try to process the invoice update or payment.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if we could either update the
update
command, or make a new command to instead of overwriting the entire account balance, we'd have a command that either increases or decreases the user account balance by a certain amount, instead of setting the balance to a given amount. That way, any updates that happens between step 1 & 3 wouldn't be overwritten. I.e. the command would for example enable the node user to increase the user account balance by 100k, instead of actually setting it to exactly 300k.To solve the issue of invoices and payments that make the account service crash, it would be great if the command would allow the node runner to deassociate a certain invoice or payment for a certain account id. That way, the account service would be able to run successfully on next startup.
