(Regarding my 150,000 lost sats)

Does an hsm_secret recover non-cooperatively closed channel's funds? As far as I understand, hsm_secret is some sort of seed for the internal on-chain wallet. However, I don't know if it can be used to recover funds with this sort of events:
  • Node_1 opened a 300,000 worth of sats channel with Node_2.
  • Node_1 sent 150,000 sats to Node_2.
  • Node_1 goes offline.
  • Node_2 cancels the channel non-cooperatively.
  • Can Node_1 recover the bitcoin with hsm_secret?

It's not the $30, but the fact that I lost bitcoin while I'm acting very cautiously drives me crazy.
