my understanding was the sats are locked into the channels and only "slide back and forth" between your node and others for incoming and outgoing liquidity, like beads on an abacus, but they never actually come off that abacus rail (except for fees and force close penalties).
I may be wrong.
I'm planning on reading Mastering Lightning pretty soon and will report back hah
