The transparent-address txid scan in the sync loop and the mempool
monitor both hard-coded no_cert = true, so they connected to the
lightwalletd through get_client's NoCertificateVerification path in
every Lite build, while the app always passes dangerous = false. Block
sync, info, broadcast and the full-tx fetcher already honour
LightClientConfig::no_cert_verification. An active man in the middle on
those two channels could hide or invent transparent balance, UTXOs and
pending transactions (signing stays local, so no funds can be taken).
Both calls now take the setting from the config:
- the sync loop passes self.config.no_cert_verification to
scan_taddress_txids;
- start_mempool_monitor reads config.no_cert_verification once and
passes it to monitor_mempool.
Flagged behaviour change: a lightwalletd with an invalid or self-signed
certificate now fails the t-address stage (do_sync retries, then returns
the error) and the mempool monitor (it logs and retries), as block sync
already does. `dangerous` is the only bypass. No ABI, symbol or wallet
format change.
A tripwire test checks that lightclient.rs never again hard-codes the
bypass for either call; its needles are joined at runtime so the test
cannot match its own source.

The qtlib wrapper's Cargo.toml, the workspace root of the backend build,
had no release profile, so libsilentdragonxlite.a was built with cargo's
defaults: no LTO and 16 codegen units, with the objects of every
dependency copied into the archive.
The release profile now sets opt-level 3, fat LTO and one codegen unit.
panic stays "unwind", written out with a comment: litelib_execute turns
a panic into an error through catch_unwind, and the full-tx fetcher and
the threadpool turn scan-job panics into errors by unwinding. There is
no strip setting: rustc does not link a staticlib, and build.sh strips
the final executable.
Measured, building the same source both ways:
- archive: Linux 126.7 -> 71.5 MB with 1580 -> 1 Rust object files;
Windows 105.9 -> 65.8 MB with 1560 -> 1;
- stripped ObsidianDragonLite: Linux 84,283,856 -> 75,366,184 bytes
(-8.9 MB, -10.6%); Windows exe 87,436,288 -> 79,379,968 bytes
(-8.1 MB, -9.2%). On Linux .text went from 20.0 to 14.8 MB and
.eh_frame from 2.67 to 1.19 MB;
- exported symbols unchanged (blake3_PW and the 8 litelib_* functions);
- a forced panic in the send command's JSON parsing still returns
"Error: Rust panic in litelib_execute", and the next call works;
- lite_smoke --restore-recent, --keys and --encrypt pass with identical
output apart from chain tip and birthday; restore CPU time is
unchanged within noise (115.8-117.2 s before, 111.7-118.8 s after)
and peak RSS dropped from 38.5 to 31.6 MB;
- backend build time: Linux 70 -> 118 s, Windows 54 -> 102 s.
This has no effect on releases until the backend artifacts are rebuilt:
build.sh links the prebuilt build/lite-backend/<platform> archives,
which are still the old non-LTO ones (the Windows one also predates the
recent backend commits). Rebuild them with
scripts/build-lite-backend-artifact.sh from a clean, committed tree.
Not verifiable here: on Windows only the link was checked, with no panic
probe, smoke run, sync or send (inlining can grow stack frames, and
mingw threads get about 2 MB of stack); the macOS artifact was not built
(CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_LTO=thin is the fallback if fat LTO is a problem
there); and a send, with its proving, needs a funded wallet.

reloadThemeImages() replaced gradient_tex_ in each of its three branches
(image loaded, load failed, no background) without freeing the old
texture, so every skin activation, including the one at startup, leaked
one texture.
The logo and coin textures were freed immediately instead, although the
current frame's draw lists can still reference them: the window backdrop
records its images at the start of the frame and skin switches happen
mid-frame (Settings, Ctrl+arrow keys), and the screenshot sweep switches
skins after RenderDrawData() but before the secondary viewports are
rendered. That hands the renderer a freed texture.
Textures replaced mid-frame are now retired to a queue (retireTexture()
also zeroes the member) that the next preFrame() frees first, after the
previous frame's draw data has been rendered. The old gradient is
retired at the top of reloadThemeImages(), and the logo and coin where
they used to be freed. ensureLogoTexture() still frees directly, since
it runs at the top of render(), before this frame draws a logo.
Shutdown does not drain the queue.
Measured with a temporary live-texture counter over a screenshot sweep
of all 10 skins: before, 6, 7, ... 15 live textures (one more per skin);
now a constant 5. The first screenshot after each skin switch is
pixel-identical to before on all 10 skins, and the full sweep matches
within noise.
Not verifiable here: DX11 at runtime.

Turning blur off (blur 0), switching to low-spec mode or enabling
reduced transparency after the acrylic targets existed left the capture
FBO and both blur ping-pong targets allocated for the rest of the
session, although nothing draws with them while the effect is skipped.
They are now released at a frame boundary and rebuilt on demand:
- ImGuiAcrylic::ReleaseIdleBuffers() runs right after app.preFrame(),
before NewFrame(), when the previous frame's draw data has been
rendered, and once in the resize-watcher frame (GL and DX11). While
the effect is skipped it frees the targets; when the effect is wanted
again it reallocates them once, with no per-frame retry if that fails;
- resize() while skipped only records that a reallocation is needed;
- the release checks the GL names (and each DX11 texture) directly, so a
half-allocated ping-pong pair is freed too; DX11 also resets the
ping-pong index;
- the capture paths and applyBlur() return early without a capture
buffer, which would otherwise blit the default framebuffer onto
itself;
- each release logs "released targets (effect skipped)".
With blur on, the path and the output are unchanged (screenshot sweeps
within noise). After re-enabling, the first frame draws the tinted
fallback until a fresh capture exists.
Measured with software GL, toggling every 30 frames for 1200 frames: the
targets were released exactly one frame after each switch-off (22 of 22)
and rebuilt on each switch-on (21 of 21), with no GL or framebuffer
errors. While off at 1280x720, with a fixed malloc mmap threshold, the
process holds 4.62 MB less (the 1280x720 RGBA8 capture plus two 320x180
RGBA16F blur targets) and RssAnon is about 3.1-3.5 MB lower. With
glibc's default threshold the freed memory stays in the heap and RssAnon
does not visibly drop.
Known issue: every off/on pair now frees and reallocates those targets.
Under software GL (llvmpipe) with the default glibc allocator the freed
texture memory is not reused: toggling every 2 frames grew RssAnon from
49 to 906 MB over 240 pairs, every 8 frames from 56 to 179 MB, and every
30 frames it levels off near 120 MB. It is not a GL object leak (with a
fixed mmap threshold the mapped bytes stay flat), and on a hardware
driver (WSLg d3d12) RssAnon stayed between 67.5 and 74.9 MB under the
2-frame churn (94.3 MB without the release). Users reach fast toggling
by holding Ctrl+Shift+Down (key repeat, about 20 Hz) or by dragging the
blur slider back and forth across 0. A short delay before releasing
would avoid it if software-rendered users matter.
Not verifiable here: the DX11 release and reallocation at runtime, and
macOS.

The GL window asked for a 24-bit depth and 8-bit stencil buffer, and
every acrylic Framebuffer attached a DEPTH24_STENCIL8 renderbuffer the
size of its color texture. Nothing uses them: no code enables depth or
stencil tests (the ImGui GL3 backend disables both), every blit and
readback is color-only, and only Framebuffer::clear() also cleared the
depth buffer, which nothing read. The window and every FBO, including
the full-size capture FBO, carried that memory, and the FBO
renderbuffers were reallocated on every resize.
Now:
- the window requests depth 0 and stencil 0 explicitly (SDL3 requests a
depth buffer by default when the attributes are simply removed);
alpha 8 stays for the transparent window;
- Framebuffer has no renderbuffer, and clear() clears color only;
- a permanent startup log line,
"GL default framebuffer: depth=N stencil=N", reports what the driver
provided; "(no attachment)" marks a failed query, which is how some
drivers report a buffer that does not exist.
The log shows depth=0 stencil=0 both offscreen and on WSLg X11, where
"Window transparency enabled by compositor" is still logged, with no
framebuffer-incomplete errors. Screenshot sweeps at 1280x720 and
2560x1440, and a glass run with ui_opacity 0.6 and blur on (so panels go
through the FBO blur), match the previous build within noise. The
driver-side memory saving itself was not measured. DX11 is unaffected:
its swap chain has no depth buffer.
Not verifiable here: macOS (an NSOpenGL 3.2 core context with a
transparent window).

Skin handling did more work than it needed:
- the bundled-skin scan fully parsed each of the 9 bundled skin files to
read name, author, dark and images from their first 327-345 bytes. The
build copies the rest of ui.toml into every skin, so each file is
51-54 KB;
- setActiveSkin() reloaded ui.toml right after main() had loaded it, a
second full parse with nothing merged in between;
- in the Windows single-file exe, every getBundledSkinsDirectory() call
(skin refresh, the dragonx entry, each image-dir lookup) re-extracted
all embedded themes with a blind overwrite: more than once per launch,
and again on skin changes.
Now:
- bundled skins are parsed only up to the first table header after
[theme] other than [theme.images]. Anything unusual (no [theme],
images defined later, a parse error in the slice) falls back to the
full parse, and user skins are still parsed in full;
- UISchema tracks whether its state is exactly the base (the last change
was a base load and no hot-reload is pending), and setActiveSkin()
skips reloadBase() in that case;
- the bundled-skins directory is resolved once per process (re-checked
with exists()), and theme extraction rewrites a file only when its
bytes differ, through the new resources::writeFileIfDifferent(). It
compares bytes, not sizes, so a same-length palette edit still
updates.
Measured on the Lite build (median of 5 runs):
- bundled-skin scan: 15 -> 1 ms;
- from "Initializing ObsidianDragon" to the activated skin: 29 -> 12 ms;
- ui.toml is loaded once per launch instead of twice, and the light skin
merges its overlay exactly once.
A Python mirror of the header-slice parse agrees with a full parse on
name, author, dark and images for all 18 source and build-expanded skin
files, and full screenshot sweeps over all 10 skins match the previous
build within noise. New unit tests cover writeFileIfDifferent(): missing
file, identical bytes (mtime untouched), same-length change, and a
longer file truncated.
Behaviour changes:
- a bundled skin with a TOML error after its header is now listed
instead of skipped; the error surfaces only when it is selected;
- deleting a single file inside the extracted bundled-themes dir
mid-session is repaired only at the next launch;
- the "Extracted N embedded bundled themes" count includes files that
were already current.
Not verifiable here: Linux has no embedded themes, so the new
writeFileIfDifferent() ran only in the unit tests and the extraction
path was only compiled, in the Windows cross-build. That a second
Windows launch leaves the theme files' mtimes untouched is still to be
checked on Windows.

main() built the font atlas before App::init() loaded ui.toml, so the
first build used the hard-coded fallback sizes (H1 24 px, Body2 12 px).
App::init() then rebuilt for a saved font scale above 1.0, still before
the schema load and so still at the fallback sizes. Only the color-emoji
rebuild requested for the first frame reached the ui.toml sizes, so
color-emoji users built the atlas twice at font scale 1.0 and three
times at 1.5.
Users with chat_emoji_color=false never got that last rebuild. They
built the atlas once or twice and ran the whole session at the fallback
sizes, e.g. Body2 at 12 px instead of 15 and H1 at 24 px instead of 20.
Now:
- App::loadBaseUiSchema(), the ui.toml load moved out of App::init()
unchanged, runs in main() before both InitImGui paths (DX11 and GL),
together with the saved font scale and emoji style from the early
settings read. It is idempotent, so the call left in App::init() is a
no-op;
- the two rebuild triggers in App::init() are gone;
- Typography records what the atlas was built from (the 15 schema sizes,
the schema's font scale, the effective emoji style and the schema
generation), and preFrame() rebuilds once when they differ. While the
schema generation and the emoji style are unchanged this costs two
compares per frame.
Measured on the Lite build (color and mono emoji, font scale 1.0 and
1.5, English and Japanese): every run builds the atlas exactly once, at
the ui.toml sizes times the scale (H1 20 px and Body2 15 px at 1.0,
30 px and 22 px at 1.5), and ui.toml is loaded before the window and GL
context are created. The packaged Lite zip and AppImage log one atlas
build instead of two. Color-emoji screenshot sweeps match the previous
build within noise.
Visible changes:
- users with chat_emoji_color=false had been rendering the whole UI at
the fallback font sizes; they now get the designed ui.toml sizes, so
every mono-emoji screen differs from before and matches the
color-emoji layout;
- a user skin whose [fonts] differ from ui.toml now rebuilds the atlas
once when it is activated or left; on a runtime switch the atlas used
to keep the old sizes until a restart. With a test skin that sets
Body2 to 18 px, startup builds twice and ends at 18 px; switching to a
bundled skin rebuilds once, switching among the 9 bundled skins
rebuilds nothing (they carry an identical copy of [fonts]), and
switching back rebuilds once;
- editing ui.toml while running still gives exactly one rebuild.
Not verifiable here: the Windows DX11 path with the schema loaded before
its first FreeType build, macOS, and the interactive font-scale slider,
Alt+scroll and emoji toggle, which were checked by reading the code.

Typography copied every font blob into a fresh heap buffer for each face
it added (IM_ALLOC + memcpy, FontDataOwnedByAtlas = true): the Ubuntu
weight, the CJK subset merge, the emoji merge, and the icon and pickaxe
fonts. The blobs are INCBIN symbols in read-only memory that live for
the whole process, so the copies (16 faces, each with its own CJK copy
and, for 8 of them, an emoji copy) only cost memory. Styles with the
same weight and size also built separate, identical ImFonts.
Now:
- every font is added straight from the embedded data with
FontDataOwnedByAtlas = false. ImGui 1.92 frees only data it owns, so
the blobs survive atlas clears and DPI or skin reloads;
- load() walks a style table and shares the ImFont between styles with
the same (weight, scaled size, emoji) key. Emoji is part of the key,
so no style gains or loses the emoji fallback. With the current
ui.toml sizes H3/H4, H6/ButtonLg and Body1/Overline share a face: 13
ImFonts instead of 16 (12 text faces plus Mono), CJK merged 13 times
instead of 16 and emoji 7 times instead of 8.
Measured on the Lite build, RssAnon 15 s after start, median of 3 runs:
- color emoji: 108.6 -> 78.8 MiB (-29.8 MiB);
- monochrome emoji: 102.8 -> 78.6 MiB (-24.2 MiB).
RssFile is also 2.4-5.1 MiB lower, because the blobs are no longer read
end to end for copying. Full screenshot sweeps (610 screens per run; color
and mono emoji at 1280x720 in English and Japanese, color at 2560x1440)
match the previous build within run-to-run noise. The only content
differences are live values such as the mining tab's RAM readout (233 MB
before, 201 MB after).
Also fixed: when AddFontFromMemoryTTF failed, ImGui had already freed
the owned copy and the caller freed it again, a latent double free;
those IM_FREE calls are gone. The emoji-merge failure log now prints the
blob size instead of passing the float font size to %u.

CMake turned every res/lang/*.json into an xxd header that i18n.cpp
compiled in as a fallback, on every platform. Only the Windows
single-file exe needs it: the Linux zip and AppImage and the macOS .app
always ship res/lang, and loadLanguage() reads the loose file first. On
Linux the embedded copy added about 1.5 MB to the binary, and every
translation edit recompiled i18n.cpp.
A new option, DRAGONX_EMBED_LANG, defaults to ON for WIN32 and OFF
elsewhere:
- ON without xxd is now a configure error (it used to warn, then fail to
compile i18n.cpp on the missing headers);
- i18n.cpp compiles the embedded includes and the fallback only when ON;
- outside Windows, loadLanguage() also tries
<exe>/../share/<app>/res/lang (the cmake --install layout and the
full-node AppImage) and <exe>/../Resources/res/lang (the macOS .app
binary run directly), so those layouts find the loose files whatever
the working directory; before, only the embedded copy covered that.
Measured:
- full-node Linux binary: .data 1,699,696 -> 168,592 bytes; stripped
19,983,136 -> 18,456,128 bytes (-1.53 MB);
- with the ImGui demo stubs, the Linux zips and AppImages are
0.50-0.55 MB smaller, with identical file lists including all 8
language files;
- a Lite build started from an unrelated working directory loads the
ja.json next to the binary (2422 strings), and the packaged Lite zip
and AppImage load ja.json with no new not-found or failed lines;
- Windows keeps the embedded copy: the 8 language headers are generated
and the ja.json bytes are in the exe.
A new test loads "de" from the loose files and checks a translated
string; with bin/res/lang moved away exactly its two assertions fail.
Behaviour changes on Linux and macOS: a missing or corrupt res/lang now
falls back to English instead of the embedded copy, and a translation
edit needs only the copy_langs step instead of a recompile.
Not verifiable here: the macOS .app in a non-English language, and the
Windows single-file exe at runtime.

Both Windows zips shipped a loose xmrig.exe next to the wallet exe. The
exe already embeds xmrig (HAS_EMBEDDED_XMRIG), and getXmrigPath() uses,
and re-extracts when needed, the copy under %APPDATA%\<app>\dragonx; it
looks next to the exe only when that extraction fails.
build_release_win now copies it only when the generated header does not
define HAS_EMBEDDED_XMRIG, or there is no header.
Measured: each Windows zip loses exactly one entry, xmrig.exe; with the
ImGui demo stubs, the full-node zip went from 167,515,430 to 164,554,177
bytes.
The loose dragonxd, dragonx-cli, dragonx-tx, wallet-rebuild helper,
params and asmap stay in the full-node zip. The daemon copy under
%APPDATA% is written once and never refreshed, so without the loose copy
existing zip users would silently run their first-install daemon.
Dropping them needs a migration first.
Not verifiable here: mining from an unzipped Windows build without the
loose xmrig.exe.

The Windows release embeds its resources into the exe through a
generated INCBIN header. The Lite build got the same param and asmap
entries as the full node, so ObsidianDragonLite.exe carried
sapling-spend.params, sapling-output.params and asmap.dat (about 53 MB)
that it never reads: the SDXL backend embeds its own copy of the params,
and Lite already skips extracting full-node-only resources.
build_release_win now writes the param and asmap INCBINs only for the
full node (should_bundle_full_node_assets). Lite gets null/zero stubs
for those three symbols and still embeds images, themes and xmrig. Two
fixes make that safe:
- getEmbeddedResource() stopped at the first table entry with null data,
so with the params stubbed out the Lite lookup ended before xmrig:
mining would report itself available but never find the embedded
binary. It now walks to the end of the table and skips null payloads.
This also fixes a full-node build without asmap, whose lookup ended at
the null asmap entry and hid the daemon and xmrig entries.
- full and Lite builds share build/windows. When the full-node build
cannot find the params, the generated header is now deleted, so a Lite
header left behind by an earlier Lite build is not compiled into it
(the node would then never start, because the startup job would take
the embedded-extraction path and never copy the loose params).
Measured on release builds:
- ObsidianDragonLite.exe: 159,788,544 -> 106,120,192 bytes (-53.7 MB, of
which about 0.28 MB is the ImGui demo stubs);
- the Lite header has no param or asmap INCBINs and the resource object
holds only the xmrig payload; a sample of sapling-spend.params occurs
once in the exe instead of twice (the remaining copy is the
backend's);
- the full-node header is byte-identical to before.
Not verifiable here (Windows runtime): the Lite exe starting without
embedded params, and mining through the embedded xmrig. Lite installs
from older versions may still hold about 53 MB of extracted params and
asmap in %APPDATA%\ObsidianDragonLite\dragonx; nothing deletes them.

The ImGui demo window cannot be opened in the wallet (its show flag is
never set), but imgui_demo.cpp was compiled and linked in full.
It is now compiled with IMGUI_DISABLE_DEMO_WINDOWS, which reduces it to
empty stubs. ShowDemoWindow, ShowStyleEditor, ShowAboutWindow,
ShowUserGuide and ShowStyleSelector stay defined, and imgui.h declares
them unconditionally, so a per-file define is ODR-safe.
IMGUI_DISABLE_DEBUG_TOOLS is deliberately not set: it changes imgui.h
declarations and would drop ImGui's duplicate-ID highlight.
Measured:
- imgui_demo.cpp.o: 755,392 -> 1,704 bytes;
- stripped full-node Linux binary: 20,267,680 -> 19,983,136 bytes
(-284,544);
- full-node Windows release exe: 282,112 bytes smaller;
- the "Dear ImGui Demo" string is gone and the stubs are still defined.
With Makefile generators the per-file define lands in the target's
flags.make, so each existing build tree recompiles the whole app once
(153 files, about 71 s at -j8 here). No runtime or visual change.

HushChatFixtureCheck is a dev-only CLI for the HushChat fixture files.
Nothing runs it (no ctest entry, not linked into the app or the tests),
yet every dev and test build compiled and linked it.
It is now EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL, with a usage note next to the target:
cmake --build build/linux --target HushChatFixtureCheck
A dry run of `all` no longer mentions it (4 lines before) while
ObsidianDragonTests stays in `all`, and building the target explicitly
still produces a working binary (`--help` exits 0). The fixture template
and the chat sources are unchanged.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Release builds ran a plain `cmake --build .`, which builds `all`: on top
of the app and the wallet-rebuild helper, every --*-release run also
compiled HushChatFixtureCheck, ObsidianDragonTests where BUILD_TESTING
is on (Linux, macOS) and, in Lite backend trees, lite_smoke and
lite_send_smoke. None of them ship.
A new `dragonx_release` custom target depends on ObsidianDragon plus
dragonx-wallet-rebuild, copy_langs and copy_themes where those targets
exist, and the three release paths in build.sh build only that target.
The dev build (./build.sh) still builds `all`.
BUILD_TESTING is deliberately left alone: release and dev builds share
build/<platform>, and writing BUILD_TESTING=OFF into that cache would
leave ctest running a stale test binary.
Measured:
- a dry run of dragonx_release schedules none of the test, smoke-tool or
fixture-CLI builds that `all` schedules, in a full-node, a
Lite+backend and a mingw tree; the wallet-rebuild helper is still
built;
- all four release builds (Linux and Windows, full node and Lite) log
the dragonx_release target and no ObsidianDragonTests build, and the
Linux zip and AppImage file lists are unchanged.
Consequences: a release run no longer refreshes the test binary or the
lite smoke tools in build/<platform>/bin, so run ./build.sh or
`cmake --build` before ctest, and build the Windows smoke tools with
`--target lite_smoke lite_send_smoke`. If a release step starts copying
another CMake-built file out of bin/, its target must be added to
dragonx_release.
Not verifiable here: macOS --mac-release (the .app should still contain
the app, dragonx-wallet-rebuild and Contents/Resources/res).

The release functions always built in build/<platform> and wrote to
release/<platform>. On Linux and macOS build/<platform> is also the dev
build tree, so a release run reconfigures it (--linux-release turns a
Lite+backend dev tree into a full-node one), and building a baseline to
compare a change against meant overwriting the existing release/
artifacts.
build_release_linux, build_release_win and build_release_mac now take
their build and output roots from DRAGONX_BUILD_ROOT and
DRAGONX_RELEASE_ROOT, defaulting to build/ and release/ as before:
DRAGONX_BUILD_ROOT=/tmp/rel-build DRAGONX_RELEASE_ROOT=/tmp/rel \
./build.sh --win-release
With both unset nothing changes. The dev build (./build.sh) and the lite
backend artifact dir (build/lite-backend/<platform>) do not read them.
A full release set (Linux and Windows, full node and Lite) built into
override roots left the release/ listings (file sizes and timestamps)
and the dev tree's CMakeCache.txt unchanged (same checksums before and
after).
Known gaps:
- the end-of-run summary still prints release/ as the output dir;
- configuring a Windows build still writes res/ObsidianDragon.manifest
into the source tree, so the last configured variant's version ends up
there;
- a fresh build root re-downloads the FetchContent dependencies and
appimagetool, so it needs network access;
- the macOS paths changed the same way but were not run here.

After broadcasting, the send path looked up the spent notes' and
UTXOs' transactions with unwrap. A reorg while the transaction was
being proved could remove one of them, so the backend panicked and
poisoned the wallet lock although the transaction was already
broadcast. The lookups are now `if let` with a warning.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When the mempool monitor saw a transaction first, its wallet entry kept
the monitor's height (often 0) after the transaction was mined, because
scanning the block reused the entry without updating its block. A later
reorg between the two heights then left a phantom spend of our own
send and a change note with an empty witness list until a rescan.
Scanning a block now sets the entry's block to the block height. This
applies to every monitor-first transaction, including payments received
from others: their reported block height, the verified/spendable timing
that depends on it, and the wallet birthday now use the real mined
height instead of the monitor's.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Notes spent by a send still in the mempool stopped getting witness
updates. After a restart (pending flags are not saved), or a reorg
that un-mined the send, those notes were spendable again but with
stale witnesses, so the next send from them used an anchor that is not
on chain and failed until a rescan. Deterministic note selection made
this sticky: the stale note was picked every time it was the best fit.
Witnesses now advance for every note that is not spent on chain,
pending or not. Witness clearing still keys on the mined spend only,
so pending notes are never cleared. The wallet file format is
unchanged; an old build reading a file written while a send was
pending can now spend from it (verified offline).
The oracle reloads and reorgs inside the pending window and compares
every unspent note's witnesses byte for byte; reverting the fix fails
9 tests.

invalidate_block unwrapped a note's `spent` field for notes that only
had `unconfirmed_spent` set, so any reorg while one of our sends was
still in the mempool panicked the backend (and poisoned the wallet
lock). The branch could only panic or do nothing; it is gone, and a
reorg now leaves `unconfirmed_spent` as it is: the send can still be
mined on the new branch, because the chain checks the anchor's root,
not its height.
The oracle no longer steers reorgs around pending sends: it now
reorgs above, across and below the sent tip, including popping the
anchor block, and the reproducer runs by default.

At the end of a sync the wallet fetches the full transaction of each new
wallet tx, together with every other transaction in the blocks that
contain them, as decoys. Every txid got its own pool job that built a
fresh Tokio runtime (one thread per CPU), a new rustls config and a new
TCP + TLS + HTTP/2 connection for a single GetTransaction call, so a
restore or rescan opened one connection per fetched transaction. The
first error returned from the sync while the remaining jobs kept
fetching and scanning in the background, and a stalled connection, an
unparsable transaction or a panicking scan could hang the sync forever
with its lock held.
fulltx_fetch.rs now works through the same (txid, height)-sorted,
de-duplicated list on the sync's runtime, with as many workers as the
sync pool has threads (2-8, the same fan-out as before), over one gRPC
channel that is dialed lazily and re-dialed on retry. Parsing and
scanning stay on the sync pool, and the call returns once the whole
batch has finished.
Behaviour changes:
- a failure on a decoy no longer fails the sync; it fails only when one
of the wallet's own txs could not be fetched and scanned;
- new error texts "Error reading transaction: ...", "full tx scan job
panicked" and "fetched only X of Y wallet txs", all after the existing
"Error fetching all txns for memos: " prefix;
- each tx gets up to 3 fetch attempts with a 120 s timeout each, where
the old code could wait forever; a request that legitimately takes
longer now fails;
- nothing keeps running in the background after the sync returns;
- all GetTransaction calls share one TLS/HTTP-2 connection (up to one
dial per worker at the start, plus a re-dial per retry); the request
list and its order are unchanged;
- if the network silently drops packets mid-batch, every attempt waits
out its timeout until 16 consecutive failed txs stop the batch: up to
about 12 minutes with 8 workers (48 minutes with 2) with the sync lock
held, where the old code gave up at its first failed connection.
Which txs are requested, in what order, how often they are retried and
when the batch stops do not depend on which txs are the wallet's own;
only the final result does. A server that keeps failing one tx can see
that result through the sync's retry, but it could already tell, because
an own tx that failed is requested again on the next sync without its
decoys; nothing new leaks.
tests/fulltx_fetch.rs drives the engine with a fake fetcher: the old
request list, each item fetched and scanned once, bounded concurrency, a
request sequence independent of ownership, retries, timeouts, the
breaker, panicking and unparsable scans, and a saved wallet
byte-identical to the old serial fill. The gRPC fetcher itself is not
covered by these tests.

Each scanned block deep-copied the newest witness of every note with
history to start that block's entry, although a block without shielded
outputs changes no witness, and spent or pending notes never change
theirs. A note's 100-entry list was 100 separate copies, mostly
identical.
The list now holds Arc-shared witnesses. The per-block duplicate is an
Arc::clone, and Arc::make_mut copies the newest entry only for unspent,
non-pending notes and only in blocks with at least one shielded output.
Every entry is still written in full, so the file is unchanged, and a
spend takes its own copy of the witness. A loaded wallet is not
de-duplicated, so the saving builds up over the next 100 blocks.
No output change: the saved bytes are identical; notes use less memory.
With 1000 live notes x 100 witnesses (a 70 MB file), RssAnon after 100
blocks without outputs is 18 MiB instead of 189 MiB and such a block
scans in 1.0 ms instead of 2.1-2.7 ms; when every block has an output,
the live bytes stay about the same.
The witness tests, the 1000-seed oracle and a differential run against
the unmodified backend (every witness entry and the whole saved file
after every operation; only the cleared lists and the chosen spend notes
may differ) all pass, and the measured wallet saves to the same SHA-256
as with the old build.

send_to_address walked the wallet's notes in HashMap order and took them
until the target was covered, cloning the witness and spending key of
each note it visited, zero-value notes included. So which notes were
spent, how many and which address got the change were random: a send
could prove zero-value notes (each spend is a Groth16 proof of about
0.5-2 s plus 384 bytes) and far more notes than needed, and a send
needing 251-489 notes ground through minutes of proving to build a
transaction whose flat fee is below DragonX's default minimum relay
rate.
Selection is now a pure function (note_selection.rs) over the value and
nullifier of the eligible non-zero notes:
- the smallest single note that covers the target; otherwise the fewest
notes, largest first, with the last pick swapped for the smallest note
that still covers. Ties break on the nullifier, so map order no longer
matters;
- at most 250 spends, and fewer when the estimated size would pass
190,000 bytes (the consensus limit is 200,000);
- the notes cover the whole target whenever they can; only when they
cannot do the keyed UTXOs, which are still spent in full, reduce what
the notes must cover;
- only the chosen notes get their witness and key cloned.
Behaviour changes:
- which notes are spent, and so which address receives the change, is
deterministic: the smallest single covering note, otherwise the fewest
notes, largest first;
- zero-value notes are never spent;
- new errors before any proving: "Too many inputs: ..." (more than 250
spends needed; it states the maximum sendable amount in DRGX) and
"Transaction too large: ..." (it suggests shielding transparent funds
first). Neither contains "Insufficient", so the
GUI does not retry them. Sends that need 251-489 notes, which succeed
today after minutes of proving, are refused;
- UTXOs alone fund a send only when no eligible non-zero note exists, or
when the size budget leaves no room for a shielded input; then, as for
a wallet without notes before, the change goes to the first z-address
and is listed as a receive. Otherwise the smallest non-zero note is
still spent, so the change is recorded as change;
- the "Insufficient verified funds" text is unchanged, but its "have"
amount no longer counts UTXOs whose key the wallet lacks;
- duplicate nullifiers (corrupt state only) are de-duplicated;
- new info log: "Selected N of M spendable notes".
A note left with a stale witness by the pre-existing pending-send bug is
now picked every time it is the best fit, rather than by chance.
Pure tests check that the selection never uses more notes than the old
walk (3000 random cases, shuffled), that the count is minimal (brute
force) and independent of order, and the cap, size budget and fallbacks;
wallet tests cover best fit, a chat-fee send, the cap refused before
proving and UTXO funding. In the 1000-seed oracle every send verifies
offline at anchor offsets 0 and 4 and the largest send dropped from 7
inputs to 2; a differential run against the unmodified backend has
identical anchors and byte-identical non-selection state apart from the
cleared lists.

The block scan appended each shielded output's leaf to the witness of
every live (unspent, not pending) note as it went, one witness at a time
on the sync thread, while holding the wallet's txs write lock: live
notes x outputs appends per block, all on one core.
With 16 or more live notes, the scan now collects the block's leaves in
output order and appends them to those witnesses once, at the end of the
block, still under the same lock and before anything reads them. When
that is at least 128 appends, the witnesses are split into disjoint
chunks over min(8, cores, live notes / 8) scoped threads; otherwise the
appends run inline. Every witness receives the same leaves in the same
order, including a leaf whose epk does not parse; an output whose cmu
does not parse still adds nothing. The hashing work is the same, only
spread over cores; the speed-up has not been benchmarked yet.
No output change. Each qualifying block starts up to min(8, cores)
short-lived threads.
Tests check that the threaded helper matches the plain double loop byte
for byte for 0-64 witnesses, and that the deferred path handles bad-epk
and bad-cmu outputs. The 1000-seed oracle passes, as do the suite and
125 oracle seeds pinned to 2 cores, and a differential run against the
unmodified backend is byte-identical, apart from the lists cleared two
commits earlier, for wallets below and above 16 live notes and blocks of
0, 1 and 50 outputs.

The block scan replaced each note's witness list with the result of
split_off(), which allocates a new buffer on every call: every block,
each note with history paid an allocation and, once its list was full, a
copy of all 100 entries.
The duplicate of the newest witness is now pushed and, when the list
exceeds 100 entries, the oldest is drained in place; notes with no
history are skipped. The list keeps the same entries in the same order,
so nothing in the output changes.
The witness tests and the oracle pass, and a differential run against
the unmodified backend is byte-identical (every witness entry and the
whole saved file after every operation) apart from the lists the
previous commit clears.

Every note keeps a list of up to 100 witnesses, one per block, so that a
reorg can roll it back; a full list takes roughly 40-90 KB of the wallet
file. The block scan kept duplicating and trimming that list for every
note that had one, spent notes included, although a spent note never
reads its history again once its spend can no longer be rolled back. So
every note the wallet ever spent kept costing memory, per-block scan
time and file size.
Once the block window is full (101 blocks), a spent note whose spending
transaction's block is below the window's first block now gets an empty
witness list. This runs before each block's witness update and once when
a wallet is loaded. Such a spend can only be undone by a reorg that pops
the whole window, and that already empties every witness list, so reorgs
behave exactly as before.
Behaviour changes:
- notes whose spend lies below a full reorg window lose their witness
history in memory, at load and in the next save; existing large
wallets shrink on their first save (which, like every save, copies the
previous file to wallet.dat.bak);
- the wallet format (v9) is unchanged; old builds and SilentDragonXLite
read an empty list as an unspendable note, which a spent note already
is;
- new info log at load: "Dropped witness history of N notes whose spend
is deeper than 100 blocks".
The oracle now also accepts an empty list for a spent note that was
cleared before a later partial reorg.
New witness tests compare every block's lists with a model of the old
algorithm, including reorgs across the clear point and an old file with
full lists, which loads and re-saves to the new bytes. The 1000-seed
oracle run passes (12,207 reorgs, 993 sends verified offline), and a
differential run against the unmodified backend is byte-identical apart
from exactly the cleared lists; the old build reads the new files, and
17 sends it built from them verified offline.

Every LightClient copied the Sapling spend and output parameters, which
rust-embed already compiles into the binary, onto the heap: 51,551,256
bytes (49.2 MiB) of private memory per live client, whether or not it
ever sent anything.
LightClient::sapling_output and sapling_spend are now Cow<'static, [u8]>
and borrow the embedded image. set_sapling_params still stores an owned
copy, with its is-empty guard, hash checks and disk write unchanged. The
prover receives the same bytes.
Behaviour changes:
- about 49 MiB less anonymous memory per live LightClient; the wallet
file and JSON are unchanged;
- the first send or shield pages the 51.5 MB of embedded params in from
the binary, where client creation used to copy them (an estimated
0.3-1 s from the AppImage);
- the public fields sapling_output and sapling_spend change type from
Vec<u8> to Cow<'static, [u8]>: a Rust API change, with no C ABI or
exported-symbol change.
tests/sapling_params.rs checks that a restored, a new and a reloaded
client all borrow the embedded image (same pointer, pinned lengths and
SHA-256), that set_sapling_params keeps its guard and hash checks, and
that the borrowed params parse like a heap copy. An ignored test
measures 576 KiB of RssAnon growth for a second client, against 46.5 MiB
with the old heap copy.

note_address() re-derived a note's payment address from its viewing key
and diversifier (a group hash, an ivk hash and a 252-bit scalar
multiplication) for every note in `notes` and `list` and for each new
note in the block scan. The z-balance sums did the same derivation in
their address filter, so `balance`, which sums four balances for each of
Z z-addresses, cost Z x (N + 2U) derivations for N notes, U of them
unspent. do_list_notes also encoded up to Z + Z^2 addresses to find the
spendable ones and cloned that set once per transaction.
Now:
- note_address() encodes the note's stored pk_d with its diversifier.
Both decryption and wallet load build that pk_d from the same key and
diversifier, so the string is byte-identical;
- the three z-balance sums share one address filter. The per-address
sums behind `balance` compare (diversifier, pk_d) with each z-address
directly; any other address string keeps the old exact string compare;
- those sums work from a copy of the z-addresses whose lock is released
before any note is read, so the txs-then-zkeys lock order that sync
uses is unchanged;
- do_list_notes builds the spendable-address set with Z encodes and
borrows it.
No output changes: balances and the notes/list/balance JSON are
byte-identical. The address filter no longer contains an unwrap (it
could not fail).
Tests compare against verbatim copies of the old functions over
randomized chains (note addresses, also after a reload; every filtered
balance for own, diversified, foreign and junk address strings; the
per-address balances; the spendable set), and a concurrency test fails
with a deadlock if the zkeys lock is held across the sums. A
differential run against the unmodified backend compared per-address
balances and the JSON after every operation, through reorgs and reloads,
and the old build re-saves the new files byte for byte.

No existing test checks that a send's anchor, nullifiers and proofs are
valid, or that note witnesses stay right through reorgs and reloads, and
that is what the following witness and note-selection changes touch.
oracle_tests.rs drives a LightWallet through its public entry points
over seeded random fake chains that start at real mainnet checkpoints:
receives to HD, diversified, imported, view-only and foreign keys,
zero-value and dust notes, outputs with an unparseable epk, compact
spends with change, real sends that are mined later or never (mempool
expiry), reorgs of 1-100 blocks in one call or block by block (re-mining
spends on the new branch), and save/reload.
An independent reference keeps its own commitment tree, every block's
root and every note's true witness at each height. After each step it
checks the tree and block window, every note's fields and spent state,
witness-list lengths, every retained witness of a live note byte for
byte (sampled ones also by root, position and auth path), the balances
and the mempool. Sends are captured in the broadcast closure, never
sent, and verified offline: the anchor must be the reference root at tip
minus the anchor offset, every nullifier must belong to an eligible
note, and the Sapling verifier must accept every spend and output proof
and the binding signature (the first send of a run also checks that it
rejects a wrong anchor and a wrong nullifier).
The default run (20 seeds x 300 blocks) is part of the normal suite; a
1000-seed x 400-block run and a 20-seed x 5000-block soak are #[ignore].
Every run prints its seed, and a single seed can be re-run.
Two pre-existing bugs are documented as #[ignore] reproducers and kept
out of the green runs:
- a reorg while a send is pending panics the backend (invalidate_block
unwraps `spent` on a note that only has `unconfirmed_spent`);
- a pending send's notes stop receiving witness updates, so after a
restart (the send never mined) or a reorg that undoes the block that
mined it, they are spendable again with stale witnesses, and later
sends from them fail until a rescan.
On the unchanged production code the default and full runs pass (1000
seeds: 12,194 reorgs up to 100 deep, 5,893 reloads, 993 proving sends
verified offline at anchor offsets 0 and 4) and the reproducers fail as
described.

The lite backend core's in-crate tests no longer compiled (119 errors in
lightwallet/tests.rs and the lightclient and walletzkey test modules):
they still used the old LightWallet::new and send_to_address signatures,
the removed extfvks/extsks/zaddress fields and the old new_from_phrase
and do_send arities. So `cargo test` built nothing and no backend change
could be checked against them.
Port them, and the commands and checkpoints tests, to the current API,
touching only #[cfg(test)] code:
- LightWallet::new takes 4 arguments, send_to_address 7 (with an
explicit default fee, returning (txid, raw tx)), new_from_phrase 5 and
do_send 2; keys are read through zkeys and tkeys;
- every config uses the "main" chain: creating a wallet on the "test"
chain panics in base58_pubkey_address, so LightClient::unconnected
(which hard-codes "test") is no longer used;
- every LightClient lives in a temporary data dir, so a test cannot
write to the real ~/.silentdragonxlite or ~/.zcash-params;
- ten send_to_address recipient lists garbled by an upstream change in
2020 are restored from the upstream history.
Expectations that contradicted deliberate current behaviour are updated;
none is ignored:
- a pending send's mempool entry sits at the tip, not tip+1, and
zbalance no longer counts a note with a pending spend;
- keys cannot be added to an encrypted wallet, so the encrypted-receive
tests derive their second address before encrypting;
- the t-address vectors are m/44'/141'/0'/0/{0,1}, checked against an
independent BIP32 derivation; the z-address vectors record the current
output;
- test_addresses and test_checkpoints follow the current address count
and checkpoint tables.
All 43 tests pass on the unchanged production code (three runs) and
leave the real wallet and params directories untouched; that list is the
regression baseline for the following commits. They cover balances,
address derivation, bookkeeping, the mempool, encryption, serialization
and rollback, but none verifies a proof, an anchor or a witness.

While the node-status banner shows, its detail line was fitted every
frame by popping one character at a time and re-measuring the whole
"· " + detail + "…" string: O(L^2) per frame in the detail length L,
which adds up on the ~1.5 KB Windows crash report. The pop also left a
dangling UTF-8 lead byte before the "…", so a cut in non-ASCII text drew
replacement characters in place of the ellipsis.
- util::textfit::ellipsizeTail builds the same string in O(L + m log m),
m being the length of the line the cut lands in: ImGui measures
multi-line text as its widest line, so the old loop could only stop
inside the first line that overflows on its own. Byte-identical for
ASCII; the cut now lands on a code-point boundary.
- EllipsisFitCache keeps the result until the detail, budget, font size,
font (by FontId) or rasterizer density changes, so an unchanged frame
costs one string compare.
- When ImGui would draw a line wider than the per-line split predicts
(a malformed byte joined with the following newline, as in CP-1252
output from the Windows daemon), the old whole-string loop is used for
that text.

TruncateToWidth, the middle "front...back" ellipsis for addresses, pool
URLs, paths, labels and the status bar, cut at byte offsets: a
multi-byte character at either cut was split into invalid UTF-8 and
drawn as replacement characters (e.g. a translated Cyrillic or CJK
status). It also tried front lengths from n/2 down until one fit,
building and measuring a new string for each: up to O(n^2) per
truncated label per frame.
util::textfit::middleEllipsis keeps the same contract and is
byte-identical for ASCII, but snaps the front cut down and the back cut
up to code-point boundaries, and finds the largest fitting front length
by bisection into one reused buffer: O(log n) measures for single-line
text. Text containing a newline keeps the linear scan, because its
measured width (the widest line) does not grow steadily with the cut.
text_fit.h also gains largestFittingPrefix, a bisection over code-point
boundaries; its first caller is the node-status banner in a following
change.

Every Typography text, textWrapped and textColored call rebuilt all 15
type specs to read one uppercase flag: 28 ui.toml element lookups, 13
of them copying the element with its string map. With M such labels on
screen, that was 28M lookups and 13M copies per frame.
The specs are now built once per UI-schema generation, which every
ui.toml load, hot reload and skin or theme switch bumps. DPI, font
scale and language are not inputs, so nothing else invalidates them.

With any console filter on, each batch of new output rescanned all N
lines to rebuild the visible set. A text filter lowercase-copied the
needle and every line to test it: O(total characters) and 2N
allocations per batch.
When the filter is unchanged and the model only appended or evicted
lines since the last pass, the visible indices drop the evicted lines
and shift down, and only the new lines are tested. The result equals
a full rescan, since line text and channel never change and the
filtered view has no folds. A filter change, Clear, or a model window
that doesn't follow on from the last one still rescans.

Each batch of new output re-wrapped all N visible lines glyph by glyph,
allocating a fresh segment vector per line; a line evicted at the
10,000-line cap shifted every index, so nothing could be kept. And on
every frame, idle or not, seeding the scanline shading summed the wrap
rows of every line above the view.
- The model numbers its lines and the view keeps one wrap per line,
aligned by that number, so an eviction drops a prefix instead of
forcing a rebuild. New output wraps only the new lines; the layout is
then a prefix sum over the N visible lines, with no measuring and no
per-line allocation.
- The wraps are kept while the wrap width, line height, font size, font
(by ImFont::FontId) and rasterizer density are exactly unchanged. A
line-spacing change only re-sums heights; filters and fold toggles
reuse the cached wraps. A resize drag still re-wraps every visible
line per frame, as before, but reuses their storage.
- The scanline seed is read from the prefix sum: O(1) per frame.
Heights, offsets and segments are bit-identical to the old rebuild. A
font reload at an unchanged size (the colour-emoji toggle) now re-wraps
the console at once; before, it waited for the next line of output.

The Overview address list built all N rows on every frame (icons,
labels, balances, buttons, an InvisibleButton and a context-menu
check per address) and allocated a vector of N row positions, however
few rows fit on screen; the edge mask then walked all their vertices.
An ImGuiListClipper now submits only the rows that intersect the
list's clip rect, plus:
- one guard row on each side, so dividers and anti-aliased edges at
the clip boundary are drawn as before;
- the row being dragged and the row whose context menu is open, so
drag-to-reorder and the menu keep working when they scroll away;
- the rows keyboard navigation targets (kept by the clipper itself).
Before each row the cursor is put back exactly where the unclipped
loop left it, so the density-scaled spacing, which depends on the
cursor position, and every row's geometry are unchanged. Row tops are
computed from the index, so the per-frame vector is gone, and the
scroll extent is the same. The row model (sort, filter) is still
rebuilt over all addresses each frame.

ApplyScrollEdgeMask, which fades a scroll area's content at its top
and bottom edges, walked every vertex the area emitted on every frame
and tested both edges per vertex, even when the content fit without
scrolling and no vertex could ever be written. It now returns before
the walk when neither edge fades.
The fade maths moved unchanged into scroll_edge_fade.h and is tested
against the old inline expression, so rendering is identical. All six
callers benefit without an edit: the Overview address list, Mining's
recent blocks, Console, History, Explorer and Peers.

The Mining tab's memory bar read used system RAM and the wallet's own
memory on the UI thread every frame: synchronous OS queries, on Linux
an open and parse of /proc/meminfo and /proc/self/status per frame.
Both are now sampled at most once a second; the first frame after
more than a second idle resamples at once. Total RAM was already
cached and daemon RAM already comes from a background sampler.
The used-RAM and wallet-memory readings in the bar and its tooltip now
refresh at most once a second; what they show is unchanged.

The Mining tab's earnings card walked all N wallet transactions on
every frame to total Today / Yesterday / All time and pick the 4 most
recent rows: four string compares per transaction plus a memo search
on receives. It also ran localtime and mktime every frame to find
local midnight.
The pass is now a pure function behind a one-slot cache keyed on
WalletState::tx_revision, the transaction count, the filter pill, the
Solo/Pool mode, solo support and local midnight, with a 2 s maximum
age as a safety net. It reruns only when one of those changes or the
2 s age runs out, instead of every frame. The totals are bit-identical
(same loop, same summation order), and crossing local midnight still
moves Today into Yesterday at once.
Local midnight is recomputed only when the clock second changes,
through the shared util::localTime; a failed localtime now yields a
zeroed struct instead of an uninitialised one. The "x ago" labels and
Est. Daily are still computed per frame.

The copy button of a text selection in a chat bubble copied
body.substr(start, len) with byte offsets kept from earlier frames.
Those offsets can outlive a thread change (an older message inserted
above shifts the message indices, so the selection can land on a
shorter body), and a start past the end made substr throw
std::out_of_range out of the chat render; the main loop catches it,
but the rest of that frame's UI is dropped.
The copy now runs only when the start is not past the end of the body.
substr already clamps the length, so the copied text is the same in
every case that did not throw before.

Every frame the open chat thread handled all N messages: grouping flags
from two day keys each, a measuring layout of every body, then the
draw, which laid every body out a second time and ran the bubble, hover
and popup code, however few rows were on screen.
The thread now keeps a layout cache: grouping flags, each body's
wrapped size (keyed by message, so only new or re-wrapped bodies are
measured) and each row's height, with prefix offsets. A frame binary-
searches the visible range and submits those rows plus any failed send
(Retry stays reachable with Tab), the row being drag-selected and the
row whose context menu is open; one spacer stands in for each skipped
run, and scrolling to the newest message works as before.
- Rows are rebuilt when the chat store changes or when the wrap width,
fonts, font size, DPI scale, rasterizer density or compact mode
change. Fonts are keyed by FontId, so a font reload at the same size
(the colour-emoji toggle) re-measures. A rebuild is O(N), about
0.5-1 ms at 3000 messages.
- Grouping flags are recomputed on a data change and once a minute,
together with util::refreshTimezone(), so a system timezone change
reaches chat timestamps within a minute.
Rows above the visible range are now one spacer of their summed
heights, so the visible rows no longer move by a pixel each time a row
above them crosses the top of the app window. Debug builds log once if
a cached wrap width or row height ever disagrees with the live layout.

The open chat thread called std::localtime at least twice per message
per frame (two day keys for grouping), and more for day separators and
time labels. On glibc every call re-checks the timezone with a stat of
/etc/localtime. The chat time helpers now use util::localTime() from
the new util/local_time.h: localtime_r (localtime_s on Windows), with
no per-call timezone check and no shared static result buffer.
glibc's localtime_r reads the timezone only once, so local_time.h also
adds util::refreshTimezone() (tzset) for caches to call when they
rebuild. Nothing calls it yet; its first caller is the chat thread's
grouping-flags cache in the next commit.

Every frame the History tab:
- hashed the txid, amount, confirmations, time, type and address of
all N transactions (about 0.6-5 ms at 5k-20k) to decide whether its
totals and its merged, sorted row list were stale;
- copied every chat txid into a fresh set;
- ran the type and search filter over all N rows, with up to three
case-insensitive substring searches each.
The totals and the row list now key on tx_revision (the row list also
on the sort mode), the Message badge and the Chat filter use the chat
store's txid index, and the filtered rows are rebuilt only when the row
list, the type filter, the search text or, under the Chat filter, the
chat store changes. A frame is now a few compares plus one txid lookup
per row of the current page. An unchanged full-node refresh no longer
rebuilds the totals and the row list either: the old fingerprint folded
in the refresh time.
On lite, a change to only a memo or a sender address now shows at once.
The old fingerprint left those fields out and relied on a refresh time
that lite never sets, so such a row stayed stale until something else
in the list changed, such as the next block.

The History tab copies every chat txid into a fresh set each frame to
badge and filter chat transactions: M string allocations for M chat
messages. ChatStore gains hasChatTxid(), an O(1) lookup in a txid index
that is rebuilt only after the store changed (append, delivery update,
erase, clear) and never built for an empty store. clear() also drops
the index, so no chat txids linger after a lock. The History tab moves
to it in the next commit.
The chat note-buffer pump, which runs every frame while chat is idle,
built the whole conversation-id list just to see whether the store was
empty; it now asks store().empty(), O(1) instead of O(M).

WalletState had no change signal for its transaction list, so a UI
cache had to fingerprint all N transactions every frame to notice an
update. It now carries tx_revision, a counter that only increases;
clear() on disconnect bumps it instead of resetting it, so a cache
built before a reconnect or wallet switch can never match again.
- Every writer of the list bumps it: the full-node refresh, loading the
cached history, adding, completing and removing a pending send, a
mining-address relabel, the lite refresh and the screenshot demo
rows.
- The full-node refresh and the lite refresh (every ~2 s) swap in the
new list only when it differs field by field, the amount compared
bit-exactly because -0.0 and +0.0 print differently. An unchanged
refresh keeps the list and the revision; the compare costs O(N) per
refresh, not per frame.
Nothing reads the counter yet.

The image picker decoded up to 6 full-size images per frame on the UI
thread to make its thumbnails (1.5-2.7 s per frame with 12 MP photos,
until the visible grid filled) and read every .gif/.webp a second time
just to see whether it animates. Thumbnails were freed only on navigate
or close, so a large folder and every hovered animation (up to ~20 MB
each) stayed resident.
Thumbnails now decode on util::StartImageDecode workers (at most 2 at
once, so the top of the visible grid fills first) and the UI thread
uploads up to 8 small textures per frame. The animation badge comes from
the same decode, with no second read. Hover previews get their own
2-slot lane, and the picker asks for a frame every 100 ms while anything
is pending; under idle pacing a deferred thumbnail used to wait for input
or the 2 s tick.
Behaviour changes:
- thumbnails and hover frames are LRU-capped at 64 MiB per folder;
evicted ones re-decode when they are needed again;
- leaving an animated thumbnail before its preview finishes decoding
cancels it (re-hover restarts it); a finished preview is kept;
- animated WebP files get a real thumbnail instead of the placeholder;
- images above the decoder's limits show the placeholder.

The Contacts tab read, decoded and downscaled custom avatars inside the
draw call, two per frame, rows scrolled out of view included: a 12 MP
photo froze the window for 0.25-0.45 s, a long GIF for up to 1.5 s, and
the avatar cache was never evicted. "Add image" decoded the picked file
and copied it inside the picker's confirm callback, freezing it again.
Avatars now decode on util::StartImageDecode workers (at most 2 at once).
The UI thread only uploads finished frames, at most about 4 MB per UI
frame, and asks for a frame every 100 ms while anything is pending;
under idle pacing a deferred avatar used to wait for input or the 2 s
tick.
Behaviour changes:
- an avatar scrolled out of view is not decoded until it scrolls in
(the badge shows for 0.1-0.3 s the first time);
- avatar textures are LRU-capped at 128 MiB; the least recently drawn
go first, never one drawn on-screen in the previous Contacts frame,
and they re-decode on scroll-back;
- an animated avatar starts playing once all its frames are uploaded;
- an import is validated and copied on a worker: the avatar appears
0.1-0.5 s after confirming and Save/Add stays disabled until it does;
a result only lands in the dialog session that started it;
- the copy goes to a temporary file renamed over the target (retried
briefly), so a crash or a failed copy never leaves a truncated avatar
or removes the existing library image;
- imports get the decoder's limits, and an animated WebP can now be
imported (it always failed with "couldn't be loaded").
Applying an import also no longer destroys an avatar texture the same
frame has already drawn (a use-after-free on DX11).

Image decoding lived in the GL texture file and had no limits: a file of
any size was read whole, stb and libwebp allocated whatever the header
claimed (a WebP alone up to 1 GB), and a GIF was decoded at full size,
every frame, before the 300-frame cap. A 720p 150-frame GIF avatar cost
0.2-1.5 s and 140-370 MB on the UI thread. stb's GIF loader also read
before the start of its buffer on disposal-3 frames, and when a long GIF
ran out of memory it freed the frame delays that the caller then freed
again (an abort).
Decoding, and the stb implementation, now live in the GL-free
util/image_decode_core, safe on any thread:
- the header is probed first; stills above 256 MP, any GIF or animated
WebP canvas above 32 Mi px, and files above 256 MiB are rejected
before anything is allocated (real photos, 200 MP phone shots and
wide panoramas still load);
- a GIF decodes one composited frame at a time, downscaled as it goes,
and stops at the frame cap: peak memory is stb's working buffers, two
canvases and the small frames; a truncated GIF keeps the frames
decoded so far;
- a header stb cannot read means "unsupported", never a blind decode;
- decodes above 16 MP run one at a time; a decode can be cancelled
between frames.
util::StartImageDecode runs one decode on a detached worker that owns its
job and its lane's in-flight counter, so nothing waits at exit; the next
commits move avatars and the image picker onto it. The limits apply now
to avatars and the picker's hover previews; thumbnails and avatar imports
get them when they move to workers.

On a first run or after an upgrade, Windows release builds wrote the
bundled Sapling params, asmap, node and miner (about 88 MB) in
App::init, before the first frame: 0.5-3 s of frozen blank window, 5-30 s
on a slow disk or under antivirus. Zip, AppImage and .app builds copied
the bundled files into the daemon dir and hashed the 51.5 MB of params on
the UI thread at the first node start, a 0.3-1.5 s freeze in the wizard
or the connect loop.
A stat-only check at startup decides whether anything is missing, stale
or unverified; a normal launch starts no thread and shows nothing.
Otherwise one background job extracts (Windows) or copies (Linux, macOS)
the files, then verifies the params once:
- The first frame paints at once. If the job takes longer than 0.4 s, a
chip at the bottom shows "Preparing wallet files... N%", then
"Verifying wallet files...".
- A node start on the UI thread while the job runs is deferred and
replayed when it ends (never into a bootstrap download, a restart or a
live connection); worker threads wait, and give up on quit. After an
upgrade that ships a new miner, the node starts after the miner is
written instead of before. Pool-miner starts and the miner version
check wait too, so the old miner is never run or reported while it is
being replaced.
- Each file goes to "<name>.partial", is flushed and renamed into place
under one lock shared with the daemon start, the bundled-node
reinstall and the miner extraction, and the job stops between 4 MB
chunks at shutdown. An interrupted write used to leave a truncated
binary that was trusted forever; a leftover .partial is now removed.
Other behaviour changes:
- Linux and macOS full-node builds copy the bundled node files (about
77 MB) into the daemon dir at first launch, even if the wallet ends up
on an external node; before, this happened at the first embedded start.
- Lite no longer writes the 53 MB of params and asmap it never reads.
- A disk-full or permission failure that leaves the node files unusable
shows a warning; a miner blocked by antivirus alone does not.
- A corrupt or truncated param in a zip, AppImage or .app install is
replaced from the bundle and verified again instead of trusted forever.
- Reinstalling the bundled node holds off the connect loop and a deferred
start for its whole run (either could launch the old binary while the
new one was written), and is refused while another restart is running.

On Windows every full-node launch read the whole installed dragonxd.exe
(about 16.7 MB) on the UI thread and byte-scanned it for a version
string, to decide whether to offer the bundled node, which only needs
whether the file exists and its size. getInstalledDaemonInfo() takes a
scanVersion flag, and the update offer now only stats the file.

Every open of the Wallets dialog, Refresh, folder add or remove, and Open
on a stale row walked each user-added folder recursively on the UI thread
before the dialog drew: up to 40,000 entries per folder, roughly
50-150 ms warm on Linux and seconds on a cold disk, a network share or
Windows.
The datadir listing (a few top-level files) stays synchronous, so a
wallet just created shows at once. The recursive walk runs on a detached
worker with the same depth, hit and entry limits; its rows are merged at
the start of a later frame and only the new rows are probed.
- The dialog opens at once with the datadir rows. The external rows
arrive when the walk ends, with "Scanning folders..." beside the
scanned-folders caption, and the card grows once.
- Reopening within 60 s with the same folders reuses the last walk
without touching the disk, so its rows and sizes can be up to a minute
stale: a wallet copied into a folder in that minute needs Refresh.
Refresh and Open on a stale row always walk again.
- While a walk or a wallet probe runs (up to 30 s) the dialog keeps
frames coming, so rows and badges appear without moving the mouse.
- The 200-row cap now holds across all folders; each extra folder could
add one row past it.

Open on a wallet row whose file was moved or deleted after the list was
built rebuilt the list from inside the dialog's row loop. The loop still
held a reference to that row and walked a sort order sized for the old
list, so the click read freed memory and could index past the end. Open
now flags a rescan for the next frame; the vanished row drops out one
frame later, with no crash.

The backend's error for a key it doesn't recognize repeats the key
("'<key>' was not recognized as either a spending key or a viewing
key"). Import passed that text on as its error, so a mistyped private
key was written to the lite log (shown in the Console tab) and to the
Settings status line. A failed import now carries a fixed reason
(unrecognized format, wallet locked, key already exists, could not be
decoded, or rejected), which is all the log records. Settings shows
"Couldn't import the key — check it, unlock the wallet (if encrypted)
and try again." instead, translated in all eight languages.

Clicking the Network-tab card of the server the wallet was already
pinned to and connected to tore the controller down and reopened the
wallet against the same server. That click is now a no-op. A wallet that
failed over to another server still reconnects, which retries the pinned
one.

New address, Import key, Encrypt and Remove encryption called the
backend on the UI thread. Each ends in the backend's save, which waits on
the lock a scan holds for its whole duration and every refresh read holds
briefly, so during a scan the window froze until the scan ended. A create
or restore with a passphrase encrypted and saved just after its first
scan had started: for a restore, a freeze for the whole initial scan. A
server switch destroyed the old controller on the UI thread and joined
its refresh worker, which can sit for minutes in a read against a dead
server (each balance, notes or list read retries for ~62 s).
- The four ops run one at a time on a background lane and their results
are applied on the main thread; Settings shows "Working…" meanwhile.
Key and passphrase copies are wiped after the call, or when a queued
op is dropped.
- A create or restore encrypts and saves (an open unlocks) before the
first scan starts, so the save takes milliseconds and the scan runs on
the encrypted file.
- Import, Encrypt, Remove encryption and Receive's New address are
disabled while a scan runs ("Wait for blockchain to sync"); Redownload
blocks is disabled while an op is queued.
- A switch retires the old controller without blocking (queued ops
dropped, pending ones reported failed, its client shut down) and
destroys it on a background thread. It no longer saves on the way out:
the new client re-scans the blocks since the last save, as after a
restart.
- A switch waits for an op in flight, at most 15 s, so the op can't
finish and save on the old client while the new one owns the wallet
file. The Network tab already shows the new selection meanwhile.
- The refresh worker stops between backend commands, skips the remaining
server reads once one fails, and then retries after 4, 8, then 15 s
instead of every 2 s.
- Quit waits up to 2.5 s for an op in flight, e.g. Encrypt's save.
Encrypt and Remove encryption now report a failed save: the backend
returns it as a JSON error that the old check never saw, so the failure
was reported as success. The trimmed copy of a key typed into Import is
now wiped too, and stopping the refresh worker can no longer miss its
wakeup.

A FIFO of blocking jobs, run one at a time on a background thread that a
post starts when none is running and that exits once the queue is empty.
Each job returns a completion, and completions run only in pump(), on
the owner's thread. Unlike RPCWorker and AsyncTaskManager nothing ever
joins: abandon() (also run by the destructor) drops queued jobs and
undelivered completions and refuses later posts, and a job stuck in a
blocking call finishes on its own thread. It is meant for backend calls
that can wait out a long scan and may have to be given up. post()
reports a dropped job (abandoned lane, or no thread could be started),
and waitIdle() is bounded.

The daemon's RSS was read on the UI thread: a scan of every /proc entry
on Linux (1-7 ms), a forked ps on macOS (up to ~30 ms). The mining poll
probed every 1-5 s on every tab, and the Mining tab's memory bar probed
again every 1.5 s.
util::BackgroundSampler now runs the probe on one lazily started thread
and caches the result. getDaemonMemoryUsageMB() returns the last sample
and asks for a new one at most every 3 s, and only while the Mining tab
memory bar or the Peers tab Memory cell is drawn: nothing on other tabs
or while minimized. EmbeddedDaemon::memoryProbe() hands the sampler a
pid snapshot (on Windows the value read from the owned process handle),
so nothing off-thread touches daemon state. The mining poll does no I/O
any more; it carries the last sample. Both shutdown paths stop the
sampler.
Fixed along the way: an unreadable /proc made the directory iterator
throw on the UI thread; the scan now just stops.
User-visible:
- the Peers tab Memory cell keeps updating during sync and shows an
external daemon's memory (it showed the mining poll's value, which
pauses during sync and covers only the embedded daemon);
- the Mining tab memory bar refreshes every ~3 s (was 1.5 s).

Finding the lowest block a node still has (Settings > Rescan, and the
automatic reconcile after a bootstrap) ran a binary search of about 42
synchronous getblockhash/getblock calls on the UI thread, each waiting
for the RPC connection behind any wallet scan (10-20 s on a big wallet)
and each with a 30 s timeout. The window froze for that long.
It now runs as one task on the wallet RPC worker, bounded to 90 s, and
the answer comes back on the UI thread; meanwhile the dialog shows
"Checking which blocks..." with Rescan disabled. An answer from an
earlier connection counts as "could not tell", and one for an earlier
opening of the dialog is dropped. The search probes block 1 first, so a
full-history node answers in one probe, and it answers "could not tell"
at once while a runtime rescan holds the lane.
Fixed along the way: any probe error (timeout, busy node) read as "block
missing", so a busy node could get a bogus "bootstrapped, rescan from
the tip"; and a non-string getblockhash reply never called back, leaving
the dialog on "Checking..." for good. Only the daemon's "can't read
block" error now counts as missing; anything else means "could not
tell".
User-visible:
- after a bootstrap, a probe that cannot tell is tried up to 6 times,
30 s apart and only while the node is not busy, then a toast points
to Settings > Rescan, instead of falling back to the -rescan
restart, which fails on a bootstrapped node;
- the Settings Rescan dialog warns when the probe could not tell.
Two new strings, translated into all eight languages.

The CoinGecko price, tickers and market chart and the exchange candle
GETs ran on the wallet's RPC worker, the same FIFO lane as balance,
history and sends. A slow or blocked endpoint held that lane for up to
10-12 s per price or ticker fetch and 2 x 30 s per chart or candle job,
and a wallet scan in turn delayed the price. At quit a hung GET held
shutdown until the 15 s watchdog cut teardown short.
They now run on their own RPCWorker thread; results are applied on the
main thread and wake the idle loop. A new util::httpGet takes a cancel
flag (checked by libcurl's progress callback), sets CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL and
returns the HTTP status and error; httpGetString wraps it. Shutdown sets
the flag, so queued GETs return at once and one in flight aborts within
about a second. The price uses a plain in-flight flag instead of the
connection-scoped refresh job, so a disconnect no longer throws away a
good in-flight price and leaves it loading until the next tick.
User-visible:
- chart and candle GETs use a 5 s connect / 20 s total timeout (were
15 s / 30 s);
- the price request goes through the shared GET: User-Agent
ObsidianDragon/1.0 (was DragonX-Wallet/1.0) and a 16 MiB reply cap;
- market fetches on connect start alongside the wallet refresh instead
of queuing behind it.

Every history refresh, address refresh, connect and lock-state check
rewrote the encrypted tx-history snapshot on the UI thread: a JSON
document of every row, its encryption, then INSERT OR REPLACE and a
prune, an estimated 40-120 ms on a 5k-transaction wallet, even when
nothing had changed.
Now a signature of what would be stored (about 1 ms on 5k rows)
decides whether to write. Confirmations count only by the thresholds
the UI reads (conflicted, pending, 1-9, 10-99, 100+); per-address scan
heights, exact confirmations and the tip drift every block and form a
separate part.
- Routine refreshes write a content change at most every 20 s (a
deferred one is released from the update loop) and the per-block
drift at most every 10 min. Nothing changed means no write.
- A mining-address relabel, a passphrase change, a rescan, a
disconnect, a wallet lock and exit write whatever is not on disk yet,
at once.
- The UI thread only copies the rows and the key into a job; a single
background writer (newest job wins) builds, encrypts and stores it. A
failed write is retried.
- Exit queues the final write so it overlaps the daemon stop, then
waits up to 3 s for the writer; a disk that hangs past that keeps the
previous snapshot.
- A loaded snapshot counts as stored, so the first identical refresh
doesn't rewrite it. An address refresh re-keys the snapshot only when
the address set changed.
After a hard kill the snapshot can now be up to ~20 s behind for rows
and 10 min for scan heights, exact confirmations and the tip (it was
one refresh); the first refresh replaces it either way. Lite builds,
which never read this cache, no longer write it on Refresh or a mining
relabel, and the screenshot capture mode's demo rows never reach it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The tx-history cache was only ever used from the UI thread and had no
locking. To let snapshots be written from a background thread:
- every SQL statement runs under one database mutex and the key fields
under a second one, taken after it and never held across I/O or the
key derivation;
- a write is a self-contained, move-only SnapshotJob holding the rows
and a private copy of the key, which is wiped after the write or when
a job never runs; the JSON build and encryption hold no lock;
- a job with an all-zero key is refused instead of overwriting a good
snapshot with one nobody can read;
- the prune after a write also keeps the wallet unlocked now, so a late
job for the previous wallet can't delete the salt of the one just
switched to;
- keyId() gives a non-reversible tag of the installed key, so a
passphrase change can be told from a re-unlock with the same one.
replace() stays a synchronous wrapper with the same result. A failed
INSERT is now logged.

The thread grid is inert during a benchmark, but the -/+ buttons and the
count field still took input: a click changed the shown and saved count
while the benchmark owned the miner's (before the previous commit it
also restarted xmrig at that count and spoiled the measurement). The
buttons and the field are now disabled until the benchmark ends.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every thread-count change on the Mining tab saved settings.json and,
with a miner running, stopped and restarted it: xmrig re-inits its
RandomX dataset and reconnects to the pool, seconds of lost hashing
each time. A drag across the grid did this once per tile crossed (up to
~24), with a "Starting pool miner" toast each; every -/+ click or Enter
did it again.
The tab now hands each pick to the App, which puts the newest in
settings at once and applies it when the input settles: on drag
release, or 0.5 s after the last click, even if the Mining tab was left
in the meantime. The header, RAM estimate and tile fill still follow
the drag live.
- Pool: the restart is decided on the mining-control thread, after every
earlier start or stop has run. It never starts a miner the user
stopped, is a no-op when xmrig already runs at that count, and is no
longer silently skipped when the pick lands in another restart's stop
window (which left xmrig on the old count).
- Solo: one setgenerate per gesture. A pick made while one is in flight
now waits for it instead of being dropped (another stale count).
- Clicking the tile that is already selected does nothing; it used to
save settings and restart the miner.
- With idle thread scaling on, the grid no longer snaps back to the old
count while a pick is on its way to the miner. A pool auto-balance
restart keeps a count still queued.
- Idle thread scaling changes the pool count through the same retarget.
Its correction after a start compares with the count last requested,
not the xmrig API's lagging report, so it comes about 1 s in instead
of after the first API report (3-5 s).
- A retarget whose pool config no longer validates shows the same error
and stops the miner, as the old stop-then-start did.
- While a benchmark runs a pick is saved, but the miner change is
dropped: the benchmark owns the count until it ends.
A crash within 0.5 s of a pick, or mid-drag, loses that pick; every
clean exit saves it.

The requested thread count is written by generateConfig() on the
mining-control thread and read on the UI thread (the thread-grid sync
under idle thread scaling, the pool auto-balance restart) without any
synchronisation. The write also stored the unclamped count first and
clamped it afterwards, so a reader could see more threads than cores.
It is now an atomic, set by one store of the clamped value.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Settings::save() and WalletIndex::save() ran the atomic write (temp
file, fsync, rename, directory fsync) on the UI thread: on every
preference change, and for wallets.json after every address-scan pass
whose wallet metadata changed, i.e. repeatedly during sync, when the
disk is busiest. Each took milliseconds to tens of milliseconds, and
seconds under heavy disk load.
The JSON is still built on the caller; the write is queued on an
App-owned CoalescingWriter, latest wins per file, one write at a time.
- After a fund- or security-critical setter (seed-migration stage,
encryption pending, PIN enabled, active wallet file, wizard completed)
the next save still waits until the file is on disk, so e.g. the
sweep-submitted marker is durable before the sweep is broadcast. A
failed durable save keeps the next one durable.
- Saves before the writer is attached (the upgrade re-save at startup),
and in tests and tools, stay synchronous.
- main() flushes the queue (at most 3 s) before and after
App::shutdown(), before the single-instance lock is released, so a
relaunch never reads a stale settings.json.
A kill or power loss right after an ordinary save can now lose that
last preference change; the previous file stays intact. WalletIndex
saves report "queued" rather than "written" (no caller reads it). On a
wedged disk, exit can wait up to 2 x 3 s longer, inside the 15 s
watchdog.

Six sliders (noise opacity, UI opacity, window opacity, chat font size,
chat poll rate, contacts list scale) rewrote settings.json, with its two
fsyncs, on every frame the value changed: 60-300 durable writes per
drag, at 1-4 ms each on NVMe, 3-20 ms on a Windows SSD, 20-60 ms on a
HDD and seconds while dragonxd is busy on the disk.
The value still applies live and is kept in Settings for the per-frame
readers; settings.json is written once, when the slider is released, as
the blur and font-scale sliders already did. A drag cut off before its
release (a dialog closed mid-drag) is persisted by the next save or at
exit.

On Linux and macOS openUrl/openFolder spawned xdg-open/open and waited
for it on the UI thread: 50-300 ms per click where the opener forks and
exits, and on generic xdg-open sessions (sway, i3, WSLg, ...), which run
the browser or file manager as xdg-open's foreground child, the window
froze until the user closed that app. The opener is now left running
and a detached thread reaps it; the click returns at once.
Its stdin, stdout and stderr go to /dev/null again. That redirect was
lost in the switch to posix_spawnp, so a text-mode browser fallback
could take over the wallet's terminal.
The result now means "launched" rather than "exited 0" (no caller reads

debug log. Windows (ShellExecute, which never waited) is unchanged.

On Linux and macOS the lock file was opened without O_CLOEXEC, so
xdg-open and the browser it starts, dragonxd and xmrig all inherited it.
A clean exit unlocks explicitly, but after a crash or kill the lock
stayed held for as long as any of those children ran (indefinitely with
"keep daemon running"), and the wallet refused to relaunch. The fd is
now opened O_CLOEXEC; nothing else changes.

On Windows writeFileAtomically wrote the temp file through std::ofstream,
whose CRT handle is inheritable. xmrig and the hidden helper commands
(where, nvidia-smi, xmrig --version) are started with handle inheritance
on, so one started during a save kept "<file>.tmp" open without delete
sharing, and every later replace of that file failed for as long as the
child ran: hours while mining, with settings saves quietly not landing.
The flush then reopened the file with share mode 0, so it was silently
skipped whenever AV or the search indexer had the file open, and a
replace refused by them just failed.
- Windows: one CreateFileA handle, not inheritable, writes and flushes
the temp file; the replace is retried up to 4 times (20+40+80+160 ms)
on access-denied, sharing or lock violations, where it used to fail.
- Linux/macOS: the temp file and directory fds are opened O_CLOEXEC, so
a dragonxd or xmrig fork+exec doesn't inherit them.
A later commit moves settings writes to a background thread, which makes
every one of them concurrent with those spawns. The vault, the exports
and DRAGONX.conf use the same function and get the same fix.

hasPendingRPCResults() becomes hasPendingBackgroundResults(): the one
check the idle loop makes, every <= 200 ms, for work that finished on a
background thread and still has to be applied by update(). Lanes added
later put their term there. It still covers only the two RPC worker
lanes; no behaviour change.

One background thread for blocking write jobs, for the settings.json /
wallets.json saves and the tx-history snapshot that later commits move
off the UI thread. Jobs are keyed (a file path, "tx-history"):
- a submit for a key that is still queued replaces that job and keeps
its place in line (latest wins);
- keys run first in, first out, one job at a time, so two writes of one
file never overlap and an older snapshot never lands after a newer one;
- submitAndWait() blocks until that job (or a newer one for the key) has
run and returns its result, for writes the caller needs on disk;
- flush() waits with a bound; stop() runs everything queued, then joins;
- the thread starts on first use and sleeps when idle; with no thread
(none could be created, or after stop()) a job runs inline.
persistFileAtomically() routes Platform::writeFileAtomically through a
writer, or writes synchronously when there is none. Nothing uses it yet.

"Keep in each address" posted one task that called z_mergetoaddress for
every batch of every address back to back; each call is a whole-wallet
scan under cs_main, and the daemon runs the ops one at a time anyway.
It is now an App-owned services::ConsolidationRun:
- one RPC at a time; the next merge only after the previous batch left the
queue and a gap as long as the last call took (2-120 s);
- pauses while the node syncs, the wallet is locked, a send of ours is in
progress, or another wallet scan is running;
- failures classified: nothing that may have queued is ever resent; a
breaker stops after 3 dead addresses or 3 failed ops in a row;
- each merge is charged to the scan budget; one re-read and one forced
balance at the end;
- it keeps running when the dialog closes: a status-bar chip, a run view
with progress, the wait reason and a Stop button.
The "Into one" merge can no longer be confirmed twice while its call is
in flight. fake_dragonxd gains FAKE_SCAN_SECS, FAKE_MERGE_SERIAL and
FAKE_MERGE_FAIL.

A z_sendmany submit set off a burst of wallet scans before anything had
changed. Ops now re-read the wallet when they finish, by who started them:
the user's sends and dialog ops get a re-read plus one forced balance once
none of their ops is pending; client auto-shield re-reads unforced; chat
messages and splits refresh only the chat note view. A pending send no
longer forces scans, and chat txids no longer enter the tracked-send set.
Chat ingest skips stored messages before decrypting and caches
undecryptable ones per identity. The inbox scan runs when getwalletinfo's
txcount changed (a cheap probe, at most 2% duty) or a cost-scaled safety
net is due; the note-buffer scan runs on need. Both are admitted by the
scan budget, on a steady clock. The chat payer comes from a per-address
view of verified notes, with debits re-applied across in-flight scans;
splits are sized to one payer and only when they can refill the buffer.

- Connect gate: after the node starts answering, wallet scans wait until the
lock state is known and the node knows its tip (or the wallet has fewer
than 500 transactions), at most 20 s. A node already behind latches the
sync profile from the connect's getinfo. Meanwhile a list-only pass keeps
the address list and the cached history up, and the session's first
balance and per-address balances are read once even while catching up,
so the wallet shows its last-synced values instead of 0.
- Background: minimized, hidden, or covered without focus (3 s debounce,
any input cancels) polls only the chain state every 15 s. Wallet scans,
the mining poll, price, nudges and auto-lock interaction tracking pause;
auto-lock now fires while minimized. Leaving a held profile marks every
timer due again.
- Tab entry marks the timers due instead of forcing scans; a stale list or
a never-loaded history still loads on entry.
- The scan entry points own the hard gates, failed enumerations keep the
previous lists behind a retry hold, and failed balance calls never
overwrite known balances with 0.

The balance, address scan, history and probe were throttled one by one at
10% each, which added up to 30-40% of dragonxd's cs_main with all of them
due. services::WalletScanGovernor runs one wallet scan at a time across
both RPC lanes and keeps one shared quiet clock at 15% of wall-clock (cut
when the node is behind). Waiters are served first in, first out, with a
head start for what the page shows and a starvation floor of max(30 s
visible / 900 s hidden, 15x the stream's cost). Explicit work (a dirty
set, the user's send, a first load) is never refused but is charged.
Routine scans run only when the tip, the mempool size (getmempoolinfo:
no cs_main) or a wallet-mutation epoch changed since their last good scan,
or a safety sweep is due. Pages that don't show the balance poll it at
most every max(10 min, 50x its cost) (2 min with client-side auto-shield);
coming back into view with an old value fetches it at once. The staleness
badge counts from the last poll that confirmed nothing changed, and hides
while the budget holds the balance within its guarantee.

Every block re-ran z_listreceivedbyaddress for every z-address (O(wallet)
each, under cs_main) and a whole-wallet z_listsentbyaddress. On a 40-address
wallet that was ~80% of wall-clock. The history now advances in passes:
- an address is rescanned when it is stale by a number of blocks scaled to
its measured cost (8 to 500), never-scanned and hinted addresses first
(a hint: z_listunspent shows a note the history doesn't);
- z_listsentbyaddress covers only the blocks since the last good sweep
(+100 reorg margin); the whole-wallet sweep runs once per connect, with
a 10 min / 1 h / 6 h backoff after real failures;
- listtransactions pages are sized from last time, and an unchanged tip
reuses the transparent rows;
- found-but-unenriched txids carry over as a backlog; only -5 is a
definitive "not ours" for z_viewtransaction;
- between blocks, a cheap recent poll plus a one-address probe.
Duty model for a 40-address wallet at 10 s per scan: ~9% instead of ~80%.

The Core poll ran z_gettotalbalance twice (minconf 0 and 1), each a whole-
wallet scan under dragonxd's cs_main. The spendable (minconf=1) call now
runs only after the display call succeeded, and only when something is
unconfirmed or pending or the exact total moved: about 95% of polls make
one scan instead of two. A forced post-send balance can no longer be lost
to a refused enqueue, and pending-send debits aren't re-applied each tick.
z_getoperationstatus is filtered to our opids with its real argument form
([[id,...]]; the old ["id"] was rejected), falling back to the unfiltered
call if a daemon refuses the filter. The Shield/Merge dialog's own polls
are filtered and session-guarded too, and finally reach Done; the dead
RPCClient wrappers are deleted.
The Merge/Consolidate scope scan becomes a tested state machine: one scan
at a time, failures latch behind a Retry button, only "node not ready"
retries by itself (10/30/60 s, at most 3), Lite never scans. Its 120 s
calls are maintenance calls: every main-thread disconnect aborts one in
flight first, so a lifecycle action no longer freezes the UI behind it.
An aborted merge that was already sent says it may still go through.

Lite opens an encrypted wallet locked, but the model saying so arrives
a moment later. The first seed export therefore failed with "locked"
and disabled chat for good, so encrypted Lite wallets never got chat.
- While the wallet is locked, a failure recorded before the lock was
seen is cleared, so provisioning runs again after the unlock (like
lockLiteWallet()). Nothing is retried while locked: that branch
returns before any RPC or backend call.
- Lite waits for the first model's lock state before exporting the
seed.

- The refresh-model mapper marks the encryption state known when the
backend reports it. The wallet tabs wait for that, so every Lite
launch sat behind the loading overlay until the 15 s "assume
unencrypted" fallback.
- Each 2 s refresh skips the backend's `info` (a fresh TLS connection
and GetLightdInfo, only a fallback for the chat tip, which the
explicit height call already provides) and the gateway's `height`
(replaced by that explicit call, which runs after the sync commands
so it sees the newest block).

checkIdleMining ran every frame: an X11 idle query and, with GPU-aware
idle detection, an nvidia-smi launch on the UI thread per frame.
- The check runs once a second, since its decisions work on a seconds
scale (the idle delay is tens of seconds or more). A miner it started
or scaled up still yields on the first frame that sees the user back:
that path skips the gate, because frames can be seconds apart while
the app idles.
- The GPU is probed only when input is idle and the result can change
a decision, at most every 5 s, with hysteresis (busy at 10%+, clear
below 5%) so a GPU hovering near 10% can't keep restarting the miner.
- Thread scaling returns early when no miner is running or a toggle is
in flight.

The Market tab calls the exchange-list, price-history and candle
fetches every frame, so a failed fetch (offline, rate-limited, a
venue's API down) was retried on the very next frame, ~20 requests a
second.
- util::FetchBackoff: 30 s doubling to a 10 min cap, +/-20% jitter.
The exchange list, the price history (a partial result counts as a
failure) and the per-pair candles each back off on failure.
- Candle backoff is per pair. Switching to another pair still loads at
once, a failed refresh keeps the on-screen pair's last candles, and
switching back to a pair that is backing off shows the aggregate
chart rather than the previous pair's candles.
- The Market tab's refresh button retries at once (at most every 5 s).
A price fetch (60 s timer, no backoff) that succeeds after failing
means the network is back, so it lifts all three backoffs.
- A partial price history no longer marks the chart loaded: with no
fetch timestamp, the 30-minute reload gate measured system uptime
and blocked retries for the first 30 minutes after boot.
- The exchange list goes through httpGetString (TLS verified, size
capped) with short timeouts (5 s connect, 12 s total, as it runs on
the shared RPC worker) instead of its own curl code. A failed fetch
is retried; it used to be tried only once per session.

- Explorer: the tip check runs every frame the Explorer tab is open,
and it read both tip rows and rewrote them each time (two autocommit
WAL writes per frame). A steady tip is now kept in memory and skips
SQLite. A new tip writes both rows in one savepoint, so a crash
between them can't pair a new height with the old hash. A test
checks that 100 steady checks write nothing.
- Console: while the daemon was in the Error state the Console tab
added its error line on every poll, i.e. every frame, re-laying out
the whole buffer each time. It prints once per error now: on entering
Error, when the message changes, or after another crash
(EmbeddedDaemon::getUnexpectedExitCount(), never reset). setState
writes the message before the state, so a reader that sees Error sees
that error's message. The stray " ===" suffix is gone.
- perf.log: the profiler appended a block every 300 frames on every
run and never rotated the file (tens of MB a day for a wallet left
open). It is now off unless the app starts with DRAGONX_PERFLOG=1;
otherwise its zone hooks are near no-ops.

Restoring or un-maximizing the window called refreshNow(), which wipes
the history-scan progress and re-scans every z-address (a
z_listreceivedbyaddress per address, each holding cs_main). The Peers
tab's refresh button did the same, and holding F5 auto-repeated it.
- Window restore no longer forces a refresh; the regular timers catch
up (skipping the daemon-output backlog stays).
- The Peers refresh button refreshes peers only.
- F5 ignores key repeat. An explicit F5 or History refresh still does
the full re-scan.

A send stays tracked until z_viewtransaction shows an outgoing output.
Shields, merges/consolidations and chat note splits pay only the wallet
itself, so they never showed one. They stayed tracked for the whole
session and forced a full history refresh past the scan throttle on
every tab.
- A tracked send whose view has no outgoing output is retired once it
is mined (1+ confirmations) or conflicted.
- Tracked sends are enriched first, and reaching the per-cycle view cap
no longer ends the loop, so the cap can't starve them.
- Backstop: a tracked send still unsettled 20 blocks after it was added
(expired, dropped from the mempool) stops being tracked.
- Tracked sends are cleared on disconnect: they belong to that
connection's wallet.

Connected-but-locked fell through to tryConnect() on every Core tick
while the lock screen sat idle: new sockets, getinfo and getwalletinfo,
a forced address scan, a CoinGecko fetch and a wallet-index rewrite.
Its wallet scans also held cs_main ahead of the user's
walletpassphrase.
- While locked, poll chain state only (refreshCoreData without the
balance). That keeps the sync height current and the 3-strike
lost-connection check armed, so a node that exits while locked is
still restarted. Pool mining keeps the lock screen down, so while it
runs the throttled balance, the peers and the lock state (for an
unlock done in the Console tab) keep refreshing too.
- Warmup polls count refused/reset connections toward the
lost-connection check, so a node that died during warmup is
restarted instead of leaving the loading or lock screen over it.
- The wallet salvage/degraded detectors run at connect and again when
warmup ends: for encrypted wallets they relied on the repeated
tryConnect.
- restartDaemonAfterEncryption records the wallet as encrypted and
locked itself (the wizard's deferred path never did), and marks the
main client disconnected so the reconnect path picks up the restarted
node, aborting any in-flight call first.

While theme effects were on (the default) the main loop drew every
frame it could. Where vsync is off (offscreen, some drivers, remote
sessions) an idle wallet spun at ~3,000 fps, 88% of a core; with vsync
it still drew every refresh. Frames are now paced by what needs them:
- full rate while there is input, a held key, a window appearing or
settling, a smooth scroll or the UI sweep;
- ambient (30 fps focused, 10 fps unfocused) for theme effects, the
acrylic backdrop, avatar animations and notifications;
- progress (10 fps focused, 4 fps unfocused) for UI that changes
without input. The updater and bootstrap downloads, console
commands, lite-wallet operations, seed migration, the loading
overlay and the lock-screen countdowns ask for it with
material::RequestProgressFrame();
- otherwise idle, as before: wait for events, with a housekeeping wake
every 2 s (5 s unfocused).
A software frame cap (0.9x the display refresh) bounds the loop where
vsync is off, and hidden, occluded or minimized windows get no ambient
frames. Reduce Motion freezes the theme-effect clock
(ThemeEffects::setMotionFrozen), so it needs no ambient frames either.
The displayed-balance roll goes through one clamped StepDisplayLerp
(balance_lerp.h). An idle-length frame pushed dt*speed past 1, so the
roll overshot, and under Reduce Motion's speed of 999 it diverged to
inf/NaN. The classic layout had its own copy of the old code.
Idle CPU, Lite build, offscreen (no vsync): 88% -> 5% of a core with
effects on, and 91% -> 3% with effects saved off (with the previous
commit).

Low-spec mode, theme effects, blur, UI and noise opacity and the
console scanline reached the live effects state only once the Settings
page or the first-run wizard was opened. "Effects off" and low-spec
therefore reverted at every launch, and the animated defaults kept the
main loop busy (91% of a core on an idle Lite wallet whose effects were
saved off).
- App::applyVisualSettings(): one low-spec-aware path from the saved
prefs to the effects state, used at startup (after the skin, since
setActiveSkin reloads the effect config), by the low-spec hotkey, the
wizard and the Settings page.
- Low-spec stays a runtime-only override. The Settings page shows the
overrides but persists the real prefs from its snapshot, and opening
it under low-spec no longer turns theme effects and blur back on.
Unticking a low-spec in the wizard that was loaded rather than ticked
there now restores the saved prefs.
- Theme effects on/off always pairs with reduced transparency (the
rainbow, shimmer and glare layers), as at startup and in the hotkeys.
- kAcrylicMaxBlur moves to imgui_acrylic.h, so startup clamps blur
values saved in the old 0-4 range the way the slider does.

Logic timers advanced by io.DeltaTime, which update() clamps to 0.25 s
so animations don't jump after a pause. That matched real time only
while the main loop rendered continuously: with frames seconds apart, a
timer fed the clamped delta runs up to 8x slow. Affected: the refresh
scheduler, the seed-migration poll, the chat fast scan, the encryption
check, the loading and shutdown timers, the lock-screen countdowns, the
Settings debug gate and the mining benchmark.
- App::logicDeltaTime(): steady-clock seconds since the previous
update(), capped at 6 s so a sleep/resume fires each timer once
instead of replaying the gap. Visual interpolation keeps the clamped
io.DeltaTime.
- The refresh timers tick before the RPC results are drained, so a
hold that a callback arms (the connect-retry backoff) starts fresh
instead of being charged the gap before it existed.
- The shutdown timer is measured from shutdown_start_time_:
beginShutdown runs from SDL event handling, so an accumulated delta
would count the idle gap before the close request.
- The lock-screen error and lockout countdowns subtract only the time
since they were armed: a failed unlock arms them from an RPC result,
which can land on the frame that ends an idle gap.

This branch's only commit (424954f) is already on dev as an identical patch
(fae8b20, merged in 1151141; git cherry reports it as equivalent). A normal
merge conflicts only where dev has since moved past it: the NotoSansCJK
subset was rebuilt again as a superset that still contains the FAQ glyphs,
and app.cpp and node_status_banner.h changed later. This merge records the
branch as integrated and keeps dev's content unchanged.

Every fix on this branch already reached dev through the port in bcee4bf
("apply audit remediations to dev"), adapted to dev's code and in several
places hardened further (0600-at-open xmrig config, strict 127.0.0.0/8
loopback check, metadata cap centralised in httpGetString). F14-1 and F8-2
were fixed independently on dev. All 10 conflicting files therefore resolve
to dev's side, which drops nothing.
The one thing dev lacked is the F14-1 regression test: a quoted empty
console argument ("") must be kept rather than shifting later positional
RPC params. This merge brings that test in.

Users who keep funds apart under different labelled addresses can now
shed notes (smaller wallet, faster scans/witness rebuilds) without the
funds being merged into a single address.
- Merge/Consolidate dialog: "Where should the funds go?" - Into one
address (unchanged) or Keep in each address. The latter lists shielded
addresses with 2+ spendable notes (label, note count, amount;
too-small ones disabled) and merges each address's notes back into
that address with z_mergetoaddress [addr] addr. Addresses with more
notes than the batch size get several batches (the daemon locks a
batch's notes before returning, so calls take disjoint notes); the
dialog suggests a second run after those confirm. Per-address
progress; ops keep running if the dialog is closed. The Consolidate
(wallet-size) preset opens in this mode; Merge keeps "Into one".
Shielded only: a transparent address can't take a merge's output.
- services/note_consolidation: groupSpendableNotes, worthConsolidating,
estimateBatches, consolidateInPlace (pure; driven by a merge-call
function), with unit tests against a stand-in following dragonxd's
rules.
- fake_dragonxd: optional note wallet (FAKE_WALLET_NOTES,
FAKE_MERGE_SECS) with z_mergetoaddress and its operations.
- i18n: 17 new keys in all 8 languages; CJK subset rebuilt.
- UI sweep: modal-consolidate target.

Follow-up to 5246898. A transparent address only ever receives mining
rewards on DragonX (private chain), so:
- One explainer ("Receives solo-mining rewards only - the network rejects
payments to it. Rewards are shielded automatically once they mature.")
on the Overview row hover, the Receive picker hover, the Receive card
and the Validate Address result (now typed "Mining address
(transparent)").
- Receive: a selected mining address shows the explainer and a "Use a
shielded address" button (creates one if none exists) instead of the
payment request, and a "Not for payments" panel instead of a QR code.
The default selection prefers a shielded address; the "All" filter
hides empty mining addresses unless solo mining or marked as a mining
address; the filter reads All / Shielded / Mining.
- Request Payment: no transparent section, never prefilled with one.
- Overview: no "Mining - Mining" tag on a marked transparent row.
- FAQ: address answers rewritten; the send and memo answers no longer
imply you can pay a transparent address. All 8 languages.
i18n: 4 new keys, 6 FAQ answers updated in place, 2 dead keys removed,
CJK subset rebuilt. UI sweep: receive-mining-address and
modal-validate-mining targets.

DragonX is a private chain (-ac_private=1): consensus rejects any
non-coinbase output to a transparent address, so a t-address can only
ever receive mining rewards, and its coins can only move to a shielded
address. The wallet treated them like ordinary recipients.
Block paying one:
- Send: a transparent recipient shows "Mining address - can't be paid"
and disables Review Send (tooltip explains; ask for a zs... address).
Typing, paste, contacts and payment URIs all go through this field.
- Overview drag-to-transfer: a mining-address row is never a transfer
target (it only reorders).
- Pool payout must be shielded (pools pay with ordinary transactions):
field tooltip, disabled Start button and the start check say why.
- isValidRecipientAddress() is now shielded-only; new isDragonXAddress()
and classifyRecipient() (Shielded / MiningOnly / Invalid).
Call them mining addresses:
- Overview: "Mining rewards" card (amber "Not yet shielded" when there
is a balance; hover explains; click opens the Shield dialog), "New
mining address" button with a tooltip, rows typed "Mining".
- QR / label dialogs, portfolio filter, contact badge ("Mining only"),
Receive notifications.
i18n: 17 new keys in all 8 languages, 12 dead keys removed, CJK subset
rebuilt. Tests: recipient classification, translation completeness.
UI sweep: new "send-mining-recipient" target.

S12 - our node across sessions:
- The node the wallet launches is recorded in <datadir>/obsidiandragon-
dragonxd.pid (pid + process start time + exe). A later session that
finds it still running (after "Leave running" / keep_daemon_running)
stops it gracefully on quit and waits for that exact process (no time
limit, "Leave running" offered); never signals or kills it. A reused
pid or a reboot never matches; stale records are deleted.
- stop_external_daemon is now honoured when this session only connected
(no controller); it was ignored.
S13 - the node's own log on every platform:
- No -printtoconsole on Linux/macOS: the node writes its timestamped
debug.log (which outlives the GUI) and we tail it next to the stderr
pipe. Tail path from the datadir or the isolated override (Windows had
%APPDATA% hard-coded, wrong for migrate-to-seed starts).
- After the node shrinks debug.log at startup, resume at this run's
banner instead of re-reading the old run's tail.
- A node we didn't launch (left running, or found running) feeds the
busy tracker from its debug.log, tied to the live process (our record,
or POSIX hushd.pid) and only from lines it wrote. A GUI attaching to a
node mid-rebuild now says "Node busy: rebuilding note witnesses" and
asks before stopping it.
- A start that only finds a running node no longer resets the tracker;
a found busy node shows the busy overlay at once.
S14: launch our node with -rpcthreads=16 unless DRAGONX.conf sets it.

Every operation that stops the node (restart, rescan, repair, delete
chain data, reinstall, bootstrap, wallet switch/adopt/restore/rebuild,
wizard restart, encrypt, decrypt) now:
- refuses up front while the node is rebuilding witnesses or has not
answered for 30s, with a "try again when it's done" warning, and sends
no stop;
- goes ahead only once the node's PROCESS has exited, not its RPC port.
A stop that doesn't finish within 120s cancels the operation (warning;
a cancelled rescan/repair disarms its flags); nothing is started over
the old node, chain data isn't deleted, wallet.dat isn't swapped.
Specifics:
- stopDaemonForWalletSwitch() no longer reports "stopped" when the app
is quitting (adopt could swap wallet.dat under a live node).
- Decrypt waited a fixed 3s after "stop" before renaming wallet.dat; it
now waits for the process to exit, and scrubs the key export if not.
- Bootstrap waits for the process before cleanChainData and stops the
node through the stop routine instead of the shared RPC client.
- StopScope::Connected lets switch/reinstall/decrypt stop an adopted or
external node through the same never-kill routine.
- A bounded stop that can't reach the node (a foreign node refusing our
credentials) gives up after 5s instead of 120s.
- macOS: isDaemonProcessRunning() checks processes (libproc), not the
RPC port.
- rpcBusyWhileAlive() also reads the busy gate: since the gate, the
first timeout usually lands on another lane and the 30s clock never
started (also weakened the quit prompt for a silent rebuild).
- Notifications render during the first-run wizard.

answering), with the elapsed time and Phase-1 block progress. A rebuild
during startup warm-up replaces the stale "-28 Activating best chain"
text, and the overlay re-applies its text once a second instead of only
on a connect attempt (30s apart while the node is busy).
- Quit prompt: elapsed time, "Keep node running & quit" is the default,
"Stop anyway & quit" becomes "Stop node & wait" (it no longer kills).
- A reinstall skipped because the node is still running now notifies.
- Status bar: don't repeat the warm-up status on the right, and don't
print "Connected" there in non-English locales.
- i18n: 31 new keys in all 8 languages; 10 dead force-quit/old-modal keys
removed; CJK subset rebuilt for the new glyphs.
- Tests: chooseDaemonStatus, NodeBusy banner priority, and every new key
present in all 8 JSONs with matching printf conversions.

dragonxd serves RPC with 8 workers and a 16-deep queue. While a witness
rebuild holds cs_main, every request needing it waits, and a request the
client gave up on keeps its slot. The GUI kept polling and re-probing
until all 24 slots were its own abandoned requests (even stop was then
refused), treated the busy node as lost (tearing down the wallet state),
and retried connect at frame rate on some pages.
Busy gate (src/rpc/rpc_busy_gate.h), enforced in RPCClient::performCall
for the shared rpc_ / fast_rpc_:
- the first reply timeout or queue-full refusal marks the node busy;
from then on nothing needing cs_main is sent (calls fail at once with
the new RpcFailureKind::Deferred). stop, help and getrescaninfo are
lock-free in dragonxd and always go through
- one canary getinfo with no client timeout waits on its own client and
thread; its answer clears the gate and triggers an immediate refresh
(queue-full: retried after 2..30 s; no answer: back to normal handling)
- the timer dispatch skips Core/Tx/Addresses/Peers/chat/mining/opid and
connect attempts while busy
- the 3-strike teardown counts only failures that put the connection in
doubt, never busy ones; no balance scans follow a busy chain-info call
Reconnect storm: retries were armed with setTimer(Core, kCoreDefault - 1),
i.e. "4 s elapsed", which against Overview's 2 s interval meant every
frame. RefreshScheduler::deferFor() is an absolute hold, and
ConnectRetryBackoff picks the delay by failure kind (not listening
1/2/5 s, queue full 2..30 s, busy 30 s, else 4 s).
Measured against the fake daemon: abandoned requests during a rebuild
went from ~24 (every slot) to at most 2, with no teardown and recovery
when the rebuild ends; a saturated queue sees about one canary per
back-off step instead of ~190 requests/s.

The one-time "back up your seed phrase" nudge only stopped probing on a
success or the exact "not derived from a mnemonic" error. Any other
answer re-armed it for the next frame, so a daemon without the RPC
("Method not found", e.g. the older bundled binary) was sent
z_exportmnemonic at frame rate: ~2,300 requests/s against a test node.
Chat identity setup re-posted its fetch on the next frame after a
transient failure in the same way.
An inconclusive nudge probe now waits 5 minutes before the next; a
transient identity-fetch failure waits 10 seconds.

- getrescaninfo takes no lock in dragonxd (it only reads wallet fields),
so the stub no longer holds it behind cs_main. Holding it there made
the GUI's rescan-progress poll look like an abandoned request every
30 s during a simulated rebuild.
- a `methods` event lists the 10 most-requested JSON-RPC methods with
counts (alongside `stats`, and at exit): what the GUI is polling.

Quitting during a witness rebuild is supposed to ask before stopping the
node, because a stop throws the rebuild away and a killed node replays
and redoes it. The guard almost never fired:
- it returned false for any daemon >= v1.3.0, on the false premise that
v1.3.0 checkpoints a rebuild (it does not; nothing survives a kill)
- it read a 16 KB debug.log tail and compared the last progress line with
the newest line, so any unrelated line during the rebuild's silent
second phase turned it off; and on POSIX that file is stale
- daemon_version, which the bypass needed, is zeroed when a busy node
drops the connection
Now a DaemonBusyTracker (src/daemon/daemon_busy_detect.h, pure) follows
dragonxd's own markers in order: rebuilding (Phase-1 / legacy markers,
ended by the completion line, an abort line or the next UpdateTip) and
replaying (Activating best chain ... Done Loading), reset by a new banner
or "Shutdown: done". It is fed from the owned output on the UI thread,
including the backlog skipped after a restore. The quit guard prompts
when the quit would stop the node and it is rebuilding, or has been
alive but only timing out / refusing as busy for >= 30 s. A replay alone
never prompts: stopping it is safe. The stop loop uses the same signal
to never offer Kill during a rebuild.
Also:
- daemon output offsets are absolute, so a reader that falls behind a
trim of the 1 MB buffer no longer skips new output (which could hide a
start or end marker)
- a quit deferred while minimized restores and raises the window, and
the wizard renders the prompt, so it is never waiting unseen
Verified live with the fake daemon: quitting mid-rebuild now shows the
prompt for a v1.3.0 node and leaves the node alone; a silent busy node
prompts after 30 s.
