Force close transactions with BlockTank not being confirmed

[jvsena42]

What I got so far:

• Blocktank node is a trustedLnPeers
• Trusted peer channels use anchor outputs
• Anchor outputs have a different outputs scripts with different CSV conditions

DEBUG: Current block height: 31732
WARN⚠️: 🔑 CLAIMABLE HEIGHT: 0 ← Output becomes spendable at this block
WARN⚠️: ⚠️ Claimable height is 0 - this may indicate LDK hasn't calculated the timelock yet

LDK has claimableHeight = 0, which means LDK is failing to calculate when this force-close output becomes spendable. This is why the funds are stuck indefinitely.

External node channels are not on trusted list so they use a non-anchor channel format. That is why it worked on the tests

Another strange this is that transactionName = 0
It suggests LDK might be completely missing the force-close transaction details.
It would be helpful is I could see the commitment transaction in the mempool
