Good morning Chris again,

Over in Lightning-land, we have a concept called "irrevocably committed".
This is a state where a newly-created contract can no longer be cancelled, by publishing an older state.
In Lightning, there is a short timeframe where a new state, and its directly previous state, are both still valid, until the previous state is revoked.
Only once the previous state (that does not contain the contract) has been revoked, and only the latest state is valid, can a forwarding node actually forward the payment.


This is roughly equivalent to the funding tx for the CoinSwap being confirmed.
Until a transaction is confirmed, the UTXOs it spends (i.e. the previous state) can still be validly spent by other alternate transactions.


Regards,
ZmnSCPxj
