Inside
Zero-conf channels (option_zeroconf) become usable for HTLC forwarding immediately, with zero verification that the funding transaction was ever broadcast to the network - peer_start_channeld() sends channeld an artificial 0-depth confirmation event, unconditionally, using a zeroed-out fake txid, regardless of whether the real funding tx has ever been observed. There was no persisted state anywhere distinguishing "never broadcast" from "broadcast, unconfirmed" from "confirmed."
