## P0-A — Secret hardening

Shared fix: a `SecureString` RAII buffer (zeroes on destruction) retrofitted onto the un-scrubbed
key/passphrase paths, plus console redaction and deleting the plaintext export.

- **W7-1 (High)** `console_tab.cpp:1419` — RPC console echoes/stores/clipboards raw secrets. Fix: an
  allowlist of secret-bearing first-tokens (`walletpassphrase`, `walletpassphrasechange`,
  `encryptwallet`, `importprivkey`, `importwallet`, `z_importkey`, `z_importviewingkey`,
  `signrawtransaction`, `magicrecoverkey`, lite equivalents); echo `> walletpassphrase ****` and
  keep the raw text out of `command_history_`. Extract a pure `redactConsoleCommand(cmd)` helper for
  unit testing. **← implementing first (self-contained + testable).**
- **W2-1 (High)** `wallet_security_workflow.cpp:66` — delete the `obsidiandecryptexport<ts>` plaintext
  key dump after `z_importwallet` succeeds (overwrite-then-unlink).
- **W4-3 (High)** `app_network.cpp:4481` — `sodium_memzero` the concatenated all-keys string in
  `exportAllKeys`; write the backup 0600. (Also unify with `ExportAllKeysDialog` — QoL.)
- **W4-1 (High)** `app_network.cpp:3801` — zero the key copies in `importPrivateKey`/`sweepPrivateKey`
  (local + worker-lambda copies).
- **W2-3 (Med)** `app_security.cpp:1481` — zero the passphrase threaded through the decrypt lambda chain.
- **W4-5 (Med)** `app.cpp:3577` — the seed-backup `.txt` is a permanent predictable cleartext seed;
  at minimum warn + offer to delete, ideally discourage file save in favor of the on-screen phrase.
- **W5-3 (Med)** `lite_wallet_lifecycle_service.cpp:322` — remove the dead `passphrase` field from the
  lite create/open/restore requests (unused; a secret copied for nothing).

## P0-B — Encryption integrity

- **W2-2 / W4-2 (High)** `wallet_security_controller.h:89` — the wizard's deferred encryption is
  in-memory only and silently lost if the daemon doesn't connect or the app quits/crashes first, so a
  wallet the user believes is encrypted stays plaintext. Fix: persist a lightweight
  `encryption_requested_but_incomplete` settings flag (NEVER the passphrase) when
  `beginDeferredEncryption` is called; surface a persistent warning banner while it's set; clear it
  only on confirmed `encryptwallet` success; on next connect, if set, re-prompt for the passphrase to
  complete it.
- **W2-4 (Med)** `app_security.cpp:480` — `lockWallet` only sets `locked` on RPC success; log the
  failure and notify (currently a silent no-op that can leave the wallet unlocked).

## P1-A — Migrate-to-seed correctness (fund-adjacent; verify carefully)

- **W3-1 (High)** `app_network.cpp:4327` — adopt hardcodes `datadir + "/wallet.dat"`; use
  `settings_->getActiveWalletFile()` so migrating a non-default active wallet swaps the right file.
- **W3-2 (High)** `seed_wallet_creator.cpp:57` — `remove_all(<config>/seed-migrate)` unconditionally
  at Phase-1 start; refuse to wipe if a temp `DRAGONX/wallet.dat` already exists (a prior un-adopted
  swept wallet) and surface it, so swept funds in the temp wallet can't be destroyed by re-entry.
- **W3-4 (Med)** `app_network.cpp:1124` — block wallet switching while a migration is *pending*
  (`getSeedMigrationPending()`), not only while the dialog is open.
- **W3-3 (Med)** `app_network.cpp:4231` — persist the sweep opid so an app-close mid-Sweeping can
  resume/re-poll it instead of silently dropping the txid.

## P1-B — Missing/wrong wallet-file safety

- **W1-1 (High)** `app_network.cpp:1109` — `fs::exists()`-check the target wallet file in
  `switchToWallet()` and before the first daemon launch at startup; if missing, block with an explicit
  "Wallet file not found — moved or deleted?" dialog (browse / create-new) instead of letting the
  daemon fabricate an empty wallet.
- **W1-3 (Med)** `app_network.cpp:1095` — defer the `syncedHere=true` stamp to the first successful
  address/balance readback (idHash non-empty), not bare `onConnected()`.
- **W1-2 (Med)** `app_network.cpp:198` — split `DB_CORRUPT`-specific strings from the generic "Error
  loading wallet" fallback; give `DB_TOO_NEW` its own message/action (not a salvage offer).
- **W1-4 (Low)** `wallets_dialog.h:393` — re-`fs::exists()` the in-datadir row before switching (match
  the out-of-datadir path).

## P2 — State & lite persistence

- **W6-2 (Med)** `network_refresh_service.cpp:1183` — record a per-field last-success timestamp / a
  "refresh failed" flag so the UI can show a staleness badge instead of last-good-as-current.
- **W5-1 / W5-2 (Med)** `lite_wallet_controller.cpp:78,603` — `liteLog()` the failed save and bubble a
  one-shot UI warning (both call sites currently discard the bool).
- **W6-1 (Med)** `wallet_state.h:313` — reset `mining`/`pool_mining` in `clear()` (or comment why not).
- **W6-3 (Low)** `address_book.cpp:46` — per-entry try/catch: skip + count malformed entries instead
  of discarding the whole list.

## F — Diagnostics foundation + QoL

Land W7-2 first — it unblocks the rest.

- **W7-2 (Med)** `logger.cpp:31` — call `Logger::instance().init(<config>/dragonx-debug.log)` early in
  `main()` on all platforms; add an "Open log folder" action.
- **W7-3 (Med)** `main.cpp:144` — add a `sigaction`-based crash handler writing `dragonx-crash.log` on
  POSIX (mirror the Windows SEH path).
- **W7-4 (Low)** `logger.cpp:39` — size-cap/rotate the log on `init()`.
- **QoL** — "Copy diagnostics for support" bundle; persistent alert history; daemon/RPC error banner;
  refresh-staleness badge; multi-wallet diagnostic panel; refresh-diagnostics panel; structured
  switch/migration audit logging; restore-from-seed entry point (W4-4, effort L).

## Progress log

- **Adversarial review of the 3 diagnostics UI features** — ran a 5-dimension finder → per-finding verify workflow over the node-banner + staleness-badge + alert-history commits (the hand-laid ImGui I couldn't visually verify). 4 confirmed, 1 refuted (banner title never overlaps its button — button is absolutely positioned + title is short), and the dedicated ImGui-stack-balance finder found **no** Push/Pop imbalance. Fixes landed:
  - **(Med) Alert popup grew off the right edge** — pivot `(0,1)` pinned the panel's *left* edge at the bell (which sits near the window's right edge), so a 320px panel overflowed rightward (an explicit `SetNextWindowPos` pivot skips ImGui's on-screen clamp). Fixed to anchor the bottom-*right* corner at the bell (pivot `(1,1)`, at `bellMax.x`) so it grows left over the canvas.
  - **(Low) Staleness badge could flash red on reconnect** — `WalletState::clear()` reset everything *except* the four `last_*_update` stamps, so after a reconnect the pre-outage timestamp survived and the badge briefly showed "Updated Nm ago" (red) on the same frame the node banner cleared — the exact contradiction the design forbids. Fixed by zeroing the four stamps in `clear()` (all readers treat 0 as "never"; verified `app_network.cpp:1473` guards on `!= 0`).
  - **(Low) Banner min-height floor wasn't DPI-scaled** — `std::max(minH, baseH*vScale())` compared a raw-px floor against a scaled value; now `minH * dpiScale()`.
  - **(Low) New i18n keys weren't in `res/lang/`** — back-filled all 16 diagnostics/QoL keys (this session's node_banner_*/data_stale_*/alerts_*/settings_*/tt_*) into all 8 language files, additively (128 insertions, 0 deletions). zh/ja/ko reworded around 2 glyphs missing from the CJK subset (提醒→通知; ko tooltip avoids 닐) and hard-asserted tofu-free against the subset font.
- **Foundation QoL / Persistent alert history** — ☑ landed. Toasts fade in 1–4s; there was no way to review what scrolled past. `Notifications` now retains every pushed alert in a capped (100) ring buffer with a wall-clock epoch (`AlertRecord`) — separate from the 5-item live-toast deque — plus a monotonic `total_pushed_` counter. A bell in the status-bar right cluster (`ICON_MD_NOTIFICATIONS`) opens an upward popup listing recent alerts newest-first with a severity icon/colour (reusing the toast palette), the message, and a relative age (`formatTimeAgoShort`), with a Clear-all action. An **unread dot** on the bell (coloured by the most-severe unseen alert) marks alerts that arrived since the panel was last opened — driven by `totalPushed()` deltas so it survives capping/clearing. Thread-safety: every push is on the UI thread (RPC results run as main-thread `MainCb`s), matching the class's existing lock-free model — documented as a no-raw-worker-thread invariant. Build-clean; `ctest` 1/1 (adds `testNotificationHistory`: retention, order, cap, monotonic counter, clear). **This closes the QoL bundle and the Foundation tier.**
- **W6-2 / Refresh-staleness badge** — ☑ landed. The Total Balance card now shows a small pill on its status line ("Updated 2m ago", amber → red past 3 min) **only when connected but the balance stopped refreshing** — a busy daemon can fail `z_gettotalbalance` without dropping the whole connection (only *both* core RPCs failing 3× triggers a disconnect), leaving stale numbers on screen while the node-status banner stays hidden. No refresh-path changes were needed: `WalletState::last_balance_update` is already stamped only on a successful fetch (`network_refresh_service.cpp:1187`), so the badge just reads it and computes age against the same `std::time` clock (`util::formatTimeAgoShort`). Decision is a pure, unit-tested helper (`ui/staleness_badge.h::evaluateStalenessBadge`, thresholds 45s/180s) gated on `connected` so it never contradicts the banner; hover shows a "may be out of date — check your node connection" tooltip. Build-clean; `ctest` 1/1 (adds `testStalenessBadge`). **This closes P2 (5/5).**
- **Foundation QoL / Persistent node-status banner** — ☑ landed. A persistent horizontal strip now sits at the top of the content column whenever the wallet can't reach its node — distinct from the transient toasts, so an offline wallet is never silently mistaken for a working one. The show/severity/action decision is a pure function (`ui/node_status_banner.h` → `evaluateNodeStatusBanner`, unit-tested) fed a state snapshot by `App::renderNodeStatusBanner()`. Three cases: **full-node offline** (amber, "Reconnect" → `tryConnect`), **embedded daemon crashed & auto-restart gave up** (red, "Restart node" → `restartDaemon`), **lite wallet failed to open** (red, message-only). Suppressed during the wizard / wallet-switch / daemon-restart / screenshot-sweep / shutdown, and while an expected startup phase (warmup/init/connect-in-progress) already owns the screen. Height in `res/themes/ui.toml` (`banners.node-status`); colours from the material semantic palette; detail text ellipsis-clipped so it can't shove the action button off-screen. Build-clean; `ctest` 1/1 (added `testNodeStatusBanner`). **Remaining QoL:** persistent alert history, and the W6-2 refresh-staleness badge.
- **Foundation QoL / "Copy diagnostics" + "Open log folder"** — ☑ landed: Settings (logging section) now has two actions. **Open log folder** opens the config dir (`Platform::openFolder`) so users can actually find `dragonx-debug.log`/`dragonx-crash.log`. **Copy diagnostics** copies a plaintext support snapshot to the clipboard via the new `App::buildDiagnosticsReport()` — version, build variant, platform, connection status, active wallet path + existence + size, encryption/lock state, sync heights, daemon status/running/crash-count/lastError (full-node), and the log paths. No secrets. Build-clean; `ctest` 1/1. **Remaining QoL:** persistent alert history, a daemon/RPC error banner, and the W6-2 refresh-staleness badge.
- **Foundation / W7-2 · W7-3 · W7-4 (diagnostics infrastructure)** — ☑ landed (answers the original "easier to diagnose" ask — the logging/crash foundation now actually works):
  - **W7-2 (Med, keystone):** the app-level `Logger` file sink was never initialized, so `LOG`/`LOGF`/`VERBOSE_LOGF` went nowhere and `dragonx-debug.log` didn't exist on Linux/macOS at all. `main()` now calls `Logger::init(<config>/dragonx-debug.log)` on all platforms. Also fixed a **latent deadlock** this exposed: `init()` wrote its banner via `write()`, which re-locks the non-recursive `mutex_` it already holds — now written directly. On Windows the raw stdout/stderr `freopen` was moved to a separate `dragonx-stdout.log` so the two writers don't contend. New `testLoggerFileSink` (also a deadlock guard — it would hang if that regressed).
  - **W7-3 (Med):** no crash handler existed on Linux/macOS. Added an **async-signal-safe** `sigaction` handler (SIGSEGV/ABRT/BUS/FPE/ILL) that writes a signal id + `backtrace_symbols_fd` backtrace to `dragonx-crash.log`, then re-raises the default disposition for a core dump — the POSIX counterpart of the Windows SEH filter.
  - **W7-4 (Low):** `Logger::init` now rotates the log to a single `.1` backup when it exceeds 10 MB, so a long/verbose session can't grow it unbounded.
  Build-clean; `ctest` 1/1. **Remaining Foundation:** the QoL bundle (mostly UI) — "copy diagnostics for support", an "open log folder" action, persistent alert history, a daemon/RPC error banner, and the W6-2 refresh-staleness badge.
- **P2 / W5-1 · W5-2 · W6-1 · W6-3 (localized batch)** — ☑ landed:
  - **W5-1 (Med):** `persistAfterBroadcast` (lite send/shield save) returned false on a persistent save failure but both callers discarded it and it never logged — completely silent. It now `liteLog`s the failure (the note re-derives on next sync, so it's a robustness gap, not fund loss).
  - **W5-2 (Med):** the post-**sync** and post-**rescan** `save` results (in the detached scan threads) were ignored; both now `liteLog` on failure (`LiteDiagnostics::log` is mutex-guarded, safe from those threads).
  - **W6-1 (Med):** `WalletState::clear()` didn't reset `mining`/`pool_mining`, so a wallet switch could briefly show the previous wallet's hashrate/blocks. Now reset in `clear()` (the daemon restarts on switch, so mining genuinely stops).
  - **W6-3 (Low):** `AddressBook::load()` did `entries_.clear()` then threw on the first non-object element — discarding **every** contact. Now it guards `is_object()` + per-entry try/catch, skipping and counting malformed entries.
  Build-clean; `ctest` 1/1. **Remaining P2:** W6-2 (surface refresh staleness — the timestamps exist in `WalletState`; this needs the UI "updated Xs ago" badge, which overlaps the diagnostics/QoL Foundation bundle).
- **P1-B / W1-3 + startup wallet-existence guard** — ☑ landed:
  - **W1-3 (Med):** `syncedHere` was stamped in the `markOpened` block at bare connect (idHash still empty), letting a freshly-restored wallet skip its needed rescan. It's now stamped only once the identity is verified (idHash non-empty), so it takes effect at the post-address-refresh index update (`updateWalletIndexForActiveWallet` after addresses load), while `lastOpenedEpoch` still records at open.
  - **Startup guard (the W1-1 launch counterpart):** `App::init` now `exists()`-checks the recorded active wallet before the daemon is configured; a **non-default** active wallet that was moved/deleted between sessions falls back to the default `wallet.dat` with a warning, instead of the daemon silently auto-creating an empty wallet under the missing name. Runs before the PIN-vault init so the vault is scoped to the wallet actually opened.
  Build-clean; `ctest` 1/1.
- **P1-A / W3-3 (sweep opid persistence)** — ☑ **implemented + two rounds of adversarial review** (the "live mainnet run" the migration code mandates is the remaining gate — see below). The deferral's core fear (re-tracking a stale opid hangs forever) was **refuted by the code**: the opid poller (`app.cpp:1122`) + `parseOperationStatusPoll` classify a tracked opid absent from a *successful* `z_getoperationstatus` as stale, remove it, and fire the callback `ok=false` — a thrown RPC aborts the poll so there's never a *false* stale. So re-tracking yields at worst one clean failure, never a hang.
  - **What landed:** a persisted `seed_migration_sweep_opid` setting; the opid is adopted **atomically** with clearing any prior txid in the *same* `settings.save()` **only once the submit succeeds** (torn-write safe; txid always outranks opid on resume). Resume routing is a pure, unit-tested helper (`data/seed_migration_resume.h::decideSeedMigrationResume`): txid → Confirming; opid **and connected** → re-track (`Sweeping`); otherwise → the dismissable Sweep gate. The shared `makeSweepCompletionCallback(resumed)`: success → Confirming; resumed-stale → Sweep gate (re-fetch balance, honest "may have already completed" copy); fresh-fail → Error.
  - **Round 1 (design review, 4 skeptics)** confirmed both safety facts (no fund loss — adopt gate + never-deleted `.bak` untouched; no hang) and caught 3 real resume-UX traps, all fixed: a missing **connectivity gate** (would trap the user in the buttonless `Sweeping` spinner while offline), a **missing balance re-fetch** on the stale fallback (permanent "Checking balance…"), and honest messaging since a daemon restart makes even a *successful* sweep read "stale".
  - **Round 2 (implementation review, 3 reviewers)** caught one regression — clearing the old txid at sweep *entry* would forget an already-mined first sweep if a remainder re-sweep's submit failed; fixed by the atomic-on-success swap above. All other fixes verified present + correct.
  - **⚑ Remaining gate — live mainnet run (user):** per CLAUDE.md this fund-moving path must be exercised once on mainnet before it ships. The self-verifiable parts (build, unit test, both review rounds) are green; a real interrupted-sweep resume on mainnet is the human gate I cannot perform.
- **P1-B / W1-1 (+ W1-4) · W1-2 (wallet-file safety)** — ☑ landed:
  - **W1-1 (High):** `switchToWallet` never checked the target wallet file exists, so a moved/deleted file "opened" as a fresh empty wallet (dragonxd auto-creates for a missing `-wallet=`), looking exactly like fund loss. It now `std::filesystem::exists`-checks `datadir + "/" + walletFile` before switching and blocks with a "not found (moved or deleted?)" warning. Placed before the daemon-stop prompt, and — since the check runs no matter how `switchToWallet` is invoked — it also **closes W1-4** (the stale-switcher-row TOCTOU).
  - **W1-2 (Med):** `walletOutputLooksCorrupt` matched the generic "Error loading wallet" string, so a `DB_TOO_NEW` (newer-version) wallet was offered a `-salvagewallet` repair that can't fix it. Now the generic match is excluded when the output also contains "newer version".
  Build-clean; `ctest` 1/1. **Remaining P1-B:** W1-3 (defer the `syncedHere` stamp to a verified readback) + the startup-path existence check (`app.cpp` hands `getActiveWalletFile()` to the daemon with no `exists()` check — same silent-empty-wallet risk as W1-1 but at launch).
- **P1-A / W3-1 · W3-2 · W3-4 (migrate-to-seed correctness)** — ☑ landed (fund-adjacent — reviewed carefully):
  - **W3-1 (High):** `beginAdoptSeedWallet` hardcoded `datadir + "/wallet.dat"` as the file to swap. With a non-default active wallet (e.g. `wallet-2.dat`), that installed the swept seed wallet into an unloaded `wallet.dat` and left the daemon reloading the emptied legacy — funds only recoverable via the seed phrase. Now swaps `datadir + "/" + getActiveWalletFile()` (captured on the main thread; switching is blocked during migration so it can't race).
  - **W3-2 (High):** `SeedWalletCreator::create` did `remove_all(<config>/seed-migrate)` unconditionally at the start. A prior migration that swept funds into the temp wallet but was abandoned/crashed before adopting would have that fund-bearing wallet destroyed. It now refuses (with a clear message) when `DRAGONX/wallet.dat` already exists — a completed migration removes the dir on adopt, so a leftover means an unfinished one.
  - **W3-4 (Med):** `switchToWallet` only blocked switching while the migration *dialog* was open; closing it via "Later" mid-migration dropped the guard. Now also blocks while `getSeedMigrationPending()`.
  Build-clean; `ctest` 1/1. **Remaining P1-A:** W3-3 (persist the sweep opid so an app-close mid-sweep can resume/re-poll instead of silently dropping the txid).

- **P0-B / W2-2 (deferred encryption silently lost) + W2-4 (auto-lock silent-fail)** — ☑ landed:
  - **W2-2:** the wizard's deferred encryption was stored only in memory, so a quit/crash or a failed daemon connect before it applied left the wallet unencrypted with **no record it was ever requested** — the user believing it was encrypted. Now a persisted `encryption_pending` settings flag is set the moment encryption is requested (**never the passphrase** — only the fact). `refreshWalletEncryptionState()` reconciles it on every connect: wallet observed **encrypted** → clear the flag; wallet **not** encrypted while the flag is set and no deferred encryption is pending/in-flight → a once-per-session **"your wallet is NOT encrypted — open Settings to finish"** warning (the flag stays set, so it recurs each launch until resolved). We deliberately don't persist the passphrase to auto-complete — surfacing it is the secure choice.
  - **W2-4:** `lockWallet()`'s continuation only handled success — a failed `walletlock` silently left the wallet **unlocked** (an unfulfilled auto-lock). It now logs and warns once (reset on the next successful lock), so a failing auto-lock is visible instead of leaving the wallet exposed.
  Touches `settings.{h,cpp}`, `app_wizard.cpp`, `app_security.cpp`, `app.h`. Not unit-testable at this layer (RPC/connect-driven state machine); build-clean, `ctest` 1/1.

- **P0-A / W5-3 (lite create-time passphrase)** — ☑ landed (chose option **(b) wire it up**). The lite create/open/restore passphrase was collected but never consumed by the backend — a "passphrase" field that did nothing. It now has a real meaning for all three operations, in `LiteWalletController`: **create/restore** → `encryptWallet(passphrase)` (the backend encrypts + locks + saves the brand-new wallet); **open** → `unlockWallet(passphrase)`, but only when `encryptionStatus()` reports the existing wallet is actually encrypted+locked (skips a spurious unlock otherwise). Encrypt/unlock take their own copy and wipe it; a post-create encrypt failure is `liteLog`'d (the wallet still exists — the create isn't failed). Six existing lite-controller tests carried an incidental `hunter2` create passphrase from the dead-field era; removed (they test non-encryption flows and want an unencrypted wallet), and added `testLiteWalletControllerCreateEncryptsWithPassphrase` to prove the new behavior. Build-clean; `ctest` 1/1. *(Follow-up UX polish: `settings_page` could show the passphrase field's meaning per operation — "encrypt" for create/restore vs "unlock" for open.)*
- **P0-A / W4-5 (seed-backup file)** — ☑ landed (proportionate): the seed "Save" already wrote 0600 + zeroed the in-memory buffer, but the success message was a bare "Saved to <path>". It now reads "**Saved an UNENCRYPTED seed file — move it to secure offline storage and delete this copy**: <path>", so the plaintext-on-disk risk is called out. `i18n.cpp` (English source; `res/lang` back-fill of this changed key is deferred to the batch i18n pass). A stronger fix (pre-save confirmation, or dropping the file-save in favor of on-screen + Copy) is a follow-up UX decision.
- **P0-A / W4-1 · W4-3 · W2-3 (memzero cluster)** — ☑ landed, using the file's established `sodium_memzero` pattern (matching the existing lambda-capture scrub at app_network.cpp:2885 and JSON scrub at :4025) rather than a new type, since this is fund-moving code:
  - **W4-1** `importPrivateKey`/`sweepPrivateKey`: the spending/viewing key is now scrubbed on all paths — the calling-frame copy (after the worker post), the worker-lambda's captured copy (lambda made `mutable`, zeroed after the request is sent), and the JSON request `params` copy.
  - **W4-3** `exportAllKeys`/`backupWallet`: the concatenated all-keys buffer is zeroed after the consumer uses it, and the backup file is now written via `Platform::writeFileAtomically(..., restrictPermissions=true)` (atomic + 0600) instead of a umask-default `ofstream`.
  - **W2-3** decrypt-wallet passphrase: `std::move`-captured into the worker lambda (so no plaintext copy is left in the calling frame) and `sodium_memzero`'d right after `unlockWallet` (its only use).
  Not unit-testable (the scrubbing has no observable RPC effect — the key value sent to the daemon is unchanged; only post-use memory zeroing is added). Build-clean; `ctest` 1/1 (no regression). **Remaining in P0-A:** W5-3 (remove the dead lite `passphrase` field), W4-5 (predictable plaintext seed-backup file).
- **P0-A / W2-1** — ☑ landed: the decrypt-wallet flow now scrubs (best-effort in-place zero-overwrite) and removes the plaintext key export (`obsidiandecryptexport…`) as soon as the `z_importwallet` attempt resolves — success or failure — so a full cleartext dump of every private key is no longer left on disk forever. Recovery remains the encrypted backup (`wallet.dat.encrypted.bak`). `app_security.cpp` (after the import call). Not unit-testable (fs I/O in a deep lambda); build-clean, `ctest` 1/1 (no regression).
- **P0-A / W7-1** — ☑ landed: `RedactConsoleCommand`/`ConsoleCommandCarriesSecret` in `console_tab_helpers` redact secret-bearing commands (an allowlist of 13 first-tokens: `walletpassphrase`, `encryptwallet`, `z_importkey`, …) to `> walletpassphrase ****` before they hit the console echo AND the recall history; the real command still executes unredacted. Wired into `submitConsoleCommand` (`console_tab.cpp`). New `testConsoleSecretRedaction` (11 assertions). Clean build; `ctest` 1/1. (Output-secret commands like `z_exportkey` — result redaction — remain a follow-up.)
