New guide added to Sovereign Linux Tools:
**Offline Audit of an LND aezeed Backup with chantools**
Having your 24-word LND aezeed written down is not the same as knowing the backup actually works.
I tested mine on a separate offline machine using chantools. No restore, no funds moved, seed entered interactively and never exposed online.
Using Bitcoin descriptors and LND derivation paths, the backed-up aezeed successfully reproduced all 3 known P2TR addresses holding the wallet's real on-chain UTXOs.
The guide documents the procedure, verification steps, security precautions, and an important distinction:
aezeed → on-chain wallet recovery
SCB → Lightning channel recovery
Test your backups before you need them.
