Another thought, it would be great if there were a standard in lightning for nodes to publish their own policies for auto-closing channels. My channel appeared healthy to my own metrics, but with more liquidity on my side. I'm sure they had a policy of something like "if over 80% remote balance for x time, coop close" but given that that information is opaque to me (hidden in their own automation logic), I didn't have an opportunity to adjust the channel to avoid automated coop close...

The logic you'd love to see communicated automatically is too complex. In addition, there are always other reasons (change of mind, drunk operators, ...) that don't fit into this. I, personally, prefer the rating system implemented in lnd-manageJ (see https://github.com/C-Otto/lnd-manageJ/blob/main/rating.md), but that's not the only information I consider.

I'd consider your script a well published set of guidelines that I could reverse into a script to run against my own node to see what score you would give me. So maybe I'm not looking for a lightning standard so much as a best-practice for operators to publish their general standards/scoring methods. IMHO, the best metrics are ones that can't be gamed without the metric being realized in a positive way so publishing these things is good because it helps to validate that you really do have a good rule set rather than an arbitrary hack of drunk decisions ;)
