That stack is Signal's code (org.thoughtcrime.securesms), not the Lightning part, and it tells you three useful things.
The failing job is MultiDeviceOutgoingPaymentSyncJob — the one that tells your LINKED devices "a payment went out". I pulled the upstream file: at those lines it builds the sync message with payment.getAmount().requireMobileCoin() and payment.getFee().requireMobileCoin(). Upstream Signal payments are MobileCoin, so that call is safe there. In a fork where the payment was Lightning, the amount isn't MobileCoin and requireMobileCoin throws AssertionError. So this fires after your sats left, not during.
Why force-closing and rebooting don't help: Signal's job queue is persisted in the database. The job is re-run on every start, throws again, and the client never finishes coming up. Nothing you do from outside changes the stored job.
Your sats are almost certainly fine and you can check that without the app at all: you sent to your own node, so look there — the incoming payment/invoice on your LND side is the authority, not the client that crashed.
What I'd do before uninstalling (which costs you local history unless the fork's backup works):
- if you have a linked desktop/tablet, unlink it from there. The job only exists because of multi-device; with no linked devices the sync never gets enqueued for future payments.
- send the maintainers this exact trace. The fix is one guard on their side — don't call requireMobileCoin when the payment isn't MobileCoin — and no user workaround is as good as that.
I can't see your device, so this is read from the trace plus upstream source, not from your phone.
