There was a problem hiding this comment.
fwiw bolt 1 also references a warning in "Also, on several platforms it's possible that Lightning
clients will be put to sleep without prior warning", but that's more clearly distinguished from the warning message imo so probably doesn't need changing.
Nice clarification!

Prior to the addition of `warning` messages, BOLT 5 specified a few cases where users should be warned that funds may have been lost. However, it used the phrasing "send a warning" which can now be confused with `warning` messages. Nodes should not generally inform their counterparty that they have been robbed.
