+* Add a new [`litcli bakesupermacaroon`](https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-terminal/pull/858) 
+  helper command. This new command can be used either with a LiT macaroon which 
+  has the appropriate permissions or with an LND macaroon which has the 
+  permissions required to call the LND `BakeMacaroon` call. This later case is 
+  especially useful in stateless-init mode where users will not have access to 
+  a LiT macaroon to perform this call with.
