fix(console): redact secret-bearing commands from the console echo and history (W7-1)

The RPC console echoed and stored typed commands verbatim, so `walletpassphrase
<secret>`, `z_importkey <key>`, `encryptwallet <pass>` etc. left the secret in the
visible log AND the 100-entry recall history (copyable). Adds a pure, unit-testable
RedactConsoleCommand()/ConsoleCommandCarriesSecret() (allowlist of 13 secret-bearing
first-tokens) in console_tab_helpers; submitConsoleCommand() now echoes and stores
`> walletpassphrase ****` while still executing the real command unredacted. Bare
secret commands and non-secret commands pass through unchanged.

Output-secret commands (dumpprivkey / z_exportkey / z_exportmnemonic) — whose secret is
in the RESULT — are a separate redaction concern, tracked as a follow-up.

First fix in the wallet-hardening P0-A cluster (see docs/wallet-hardening.md). New
testConsoleSecretRedaction (11 assertions); ctest 1/1.

# Wallet Loading & Management — Hardening Plan
Prioritized, grouped remediation for the wallet loading/management audit (33 verified findings +
diagnosability QoL). Companion to the findings artifact. Line references are against `dev`.
- **Provenance:** 7 parallel subsystem finders, each finding adversarially verified against the
code; the 3 highest-impact confirmed findings re-checked by hand. 32 confirmed, 1 refuted
(W1-5), 1 raised (W5-3 Low→Med).
- **Severity:** 8 High · 12 Medium · 13 Low.

## 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
- **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.)
