Description

Getting the following error. DummyAddressUsedInTxException('tried to sign tx with dummy address!')

Funds appear to be in the channel on the GUI. But shows 'not yet available.'

Transaction is not in mempool, as it seems it has never been signed.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the DummyAddressUsedInTxException when signing the open Lightning channel transaction, then trace the reported signing path from the error. Compare the GUI's channel-funds state with the absence of a mempool transaction; done means the cause is identified and the signing behavior is covered by a regression test.
