Function: settleTerminatedRailWithoutValidation(uint256 railId)

Settles payments for a terminated rail without validation. This may only be called by the payee and after the terminated rail's max settlement epoch has passed. It's an escape-hatch to unblock payments in an otherwise stuck rail (e.g., due to a buggy validator contract) and it always pays in full.

Can only be called by the rail client, i.e. rails[railId].from == msg.sender.

Inputs

• railId

  • Control: Fully controlled by the caller.

  • Constraints: Must be a valid, active rail that is also terminated (has endEpoch > 0).

  • Impact: The ID of the rail to settle.
