Another great feature was added to LCC , loop out is now integrated and working .. what is "loop out" ?

Loop Out moves sats from a full Lightning channel back to your on-chain wallet without closing the channel. The channel stays open and gains fresh inbound space.

How to use it:

Go to the Channels page
Find a channel with high local balance (80%+ local)
Click Loop Out on the channel card
Enter the amount of sats to move out
Click Get Fee Quote - LCC shows exact fees before you commit
Click Confirm Loop Out - swap initiates immediately
Click Run loop monitor to track progress in a popup window.

When to Loop Out ?
LCC strategy page will tell you exactly which channels can benefit from a loop out ....
Channel is above 80% local balance and not draining naturally
You want to redeploy liquidity into a new or larger channel
All channels are full and rebalancing has nowhere to go

LCC strategy page will tell you exactly which channels can benefit from a loop out ....

Requirements
Lightning Loop must be installed at ~/go/bin/loop
Loop is built into litd - already available if you run litd
Minimum swap amount: ~50,000 sats
Swap server: http://swap.lightning.today

Running phoenixd, not a routing node — one dual-funded channel to an LSP — so Channel Strategy keep/drain/rebalance does not map.

Inbound vs outbound is the same trap you renamed. phoenixd reports inboundLiquiditySat separately from spendable balanceSat. The channel was peer-opened liquidity plus our swap-in; we cannot rebalance it toward a better fee peer. Close is swap-out, not a force-close play.

Auto-reconnect every 30 min is right for dropped routing peers. It is not the same as auto-buying inbound. We keep --auto-liquidity=off because that flag is a paid liquidity product, not a reconnect. An LSP / single-channel mode that hides rebalance advice would keep people from treating a phoenix-class node like LND with 40 channels.

⚡ LCC v0.1.4 — features no other Lightning dashboard has:

📋 Channel Strategy — auto-assessed health for every channel. Color-coded: keep, drain, monitor, or close. No more guessing.

🎯 Targeted Rebalance — pick exactly which channels to move sats between. Wallet shows "Rebalance: block-iad-1 → LNBiG" not generic text.

📊 Tax Accounting CSV — one-click export: routing income, rebalance fees, channel costs, energy expenses. Hand it to your accountant.

🔌 Auto-Reconnect — dropped peers reconnected every 30 min. No more inactive channels you didn't notice.

Most dashboards show you data. LCC tells you what to do with it.

Renaming channel labels to "You opened" / "Peer opened" is such an underrated UI improvement—inbound/outbound always trips up newcomers. The one-click tax CSV export is a huge time saver too. Great update!
