Feature Request - Zombie Channel Detection & Notification #1088

Description

@racarr202

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Inactive or "zombie" Lightning channels pose a risk of losing funds and LiT does not have a native feature for identifying these channels and notifying the user.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like Lightning Terminal (LiT) to automatically find and alert me about zombie channels. This feature should:

  • Allow me to set how long a channel can be inactive before it's considered "zombie" (e.g., 1, 2, or 3 months).
  • Scan channels regularly (e.g., daily or weekly).
  • Provide a notification within LiT (channel type) that a zombie channel has been found and indicate its alias.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, I use a bash script (see here) to find these channels.
