Impossible to complete Lightning payments to Phoenix and Homegate (Franky)

[JeanlChristophe]

What happened?

It is currently impossible to complete Lightning (LN) payments from Bitkit to external wallets/services.

Observed behavior:
• LN payments from Bitkit to Bitkit work as expected.
• LN payments from Bitkit to Phoenix fail.
• LN payments from Bitkit to Homegate (Franky account creation) fail.
• The app displays a generic “payment failed” error.

Steps to Reproduce

1.	Open Bitkit
2.	Attempt a Lightning payment to a Phoenix invoice
3.	Attempt a Lightning payment to Homegate (Franky) for account creation
4.	Observe the payment failure
