a. ask your peers if they go for the fork or stay
b. preemtively close your channels cooperatively and re-open after the fork new ones. In this case will be better to start a new node ID. Will be a mess. Noobs will panic.
a. ask your LSPs if they will go for the new chain or not
b. do nothing
The only case when you have to be concerned about your wallets is if you want to use those same sats to get the forked coins. Then will be better to follow this guide: #1478662
If you do not want to get the new forked coins, then do nothing. Life goes on like before.

Pretty much my thought as well.
I'm envisioning many scams trying to get your seed phrase in order to 'cash out' your fork coins. many people will get scammed out of their trying to make a few bucks.
