* [Documented](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/11194) that the
`outgoing_amount_msat` field of the HTLC interceptor request is the
unvalidated `amt_to_forward` value from the sender's onion payload. It is only
checked against `incoming_amount_msat` and the forwarding policy when the HTLC
is resumed, never when it is settled by the interceptor. Interceptors that
settle HTLCs must base their accounting on `incoming_amount_msat`. The
`in_amount_msat` override on `RESUME_MODIFIED` is now also documented as
replacing the incoming amount used by that check, the incoming dust exposure
check and forwarding-history accounting.
