+ * submitting new commitment transactions to the counterparty. Once the update(s) which failed
+ * have been successfully applied, a [`MonitorEvent::Completed`] can be used to restore the

+ * If you return this error you must ensure that it is written to disk safely before writing
+ * the latest [`ChannelManager`] state, or you should return [`PermanentFailure`] instead.
+ *
+ * Even when a channel has been \"frozen\", updates to the [`ChannelMonitor`] can continue to
+ * occur (e.g. if an inbound HTLC which we forwarded was claimed upstream, resulting in us
+ * attempting to claim it on this channel) and those updates must still be persisted.
+ *
+ * No updates to the channel will be made which could invalidate other [`ChannelMonitor`]s
+ * until a [`MonitorEvent::Completed`] is provided, even if you return no error on a later
+ * monitor update for the same channel.
+ *
+ * For deployments where a copy of ChannelMonitors and other local state are backed up in a

+ * updates will return [`InProgress`] until the remote copies could be updated.

+ * Used to indicate no further channel monitor updates will be allowed (likely a disk failure
+ * or a remote copy of this [`ChannelMonitor`] is no longer reachable and thus not updatable).
+ *
+ * When this is returned, [`ChannelManager`] will force-close the channel but *not* broadcast
+ * our current commitment transaction. This avoids a dangerous case where a local disk failure
+ * (e.g. the Linux-default remounting of the disk as read-only) causes [`PermanentFailure`]s
+ * for all monitor updates. If we were to broadcast our latest commitment transaction and then
+ * restart, we could end up reading a previous [`ChannelMonitor`] and [`ChannelManager`],
+ * revoking our now-broadcasted state before seeing it confirm and losing all our funds.
+ *
+ * Note that this is somewhat of a tradeoff - if the disk is really gone and we may have lost
+ * the data permanently, we really should broadcast immediately. If the data can be recovered
+ * with manual intervention, we'd rather close the channel, rejecting future updates to it,
+ * and broadcast the latest state only if we have HTLCs to claim which are timing out (which
+ * we do as long as blocks are connected).
+ *
+ * In order to broadcast the latest local commitment transaction, you'll need to call
+ * [`ChannelMonitor::get_latest_holder_commitment_txn`] and broadcast the resulting
+ * transactions once you've safely ensured no further channel updates can be generated by your
+ * [`ChannelManager`].
+ *
+ * Note that at least one final [`ChannelMonitorUpdate`] may still be provided, which must
+ * still be processed by a running [`ChannelMonitor`]. This final update will mark the
+ * [`ChannelMonitor`] as finalized, ensuring no further updates (e.g. revocation of the latest
+ * commitment transaction) are allowed.
+ *
+ * Note that even if you return a [`PermanentFailure`] due to unavailability of secondary
+ * [`ChannelMonitor`] copies, you should still make an attempt to store the update where
+ * possible to ensure you can claim HTLC outputs on the latest commitment transaction
+ * broadcasted later.
+ *
+ * In case of distributed watchtowers deployment, the new version must be written to disk, as
+ * state may have been stored but rejected due to a block forcing a commitment broadcast. This
+ * storage is used to claim outputs of rejected state confirmed onchain by another watchtower,
+ * lagging behind on block processing.
