Well that just blows my mind.
Normally, when a channel is closed, it's settled as two on-chain utxos, one for each side of the channel, into their respective wallet.
Now, you're telling me we never have to settle on-chain? Without new utxos, how is it settled at all? What does it mean to settle up "out of band"?
