lite_smoke: add --restore-recent (restore a throwaway wallet at birthday≈tip) and factor
the data-shape checks (non-blocking commands first). Finding: the backend downloads from a
fixed checkpoint regardless of birthday, so first sync is ~30 min and balance/list block
until synced — a full live data run is impractical.
Verified all refresh parsers against the real backend without a full sync:
- live run: info/addresses/syncstatus parse_ok=1 (addresses z=1/t=6 on a restored wallet).
- via the authoritative Rust source (commands.rs / lightclient.rs):
- balance do_balance fields match parseLiteBalanceResponse.
- list do_list_transactions: sends use outgoing_metadata (no top-level address), receives
use address+amount; parseTransactionRecord already branches correctly.
- syncstatus was the only mismatch (fixed in the prior commit).
No parser changes needed beyond syncstatus. M2 refresh path verified end-to-end at the
shape level.

- LiteWalletController owns a background std::thread worker that, once a wallet is ready,
refreshes every ~4s and publishes a copyable LiteWalletAppRefreshModel under a mutex.
Worker auto-starts on lifecycle-ready and is stopped+joined in the destructor. status_
is written only on the main thread; walletOpen_/syncStarted_ are atomic.
- App::update() calls takeRefreshedModel() and applies it into state_ on the main thread
(WalletState is non-copyable, so the model crosses the thread boundary, not the state),
so the existing Balance/Receive/Transactions tabs populate from lite data.
- refreshWalletState() refactored onto refreshModel() (pure, worker-safe).
- testLiteWalletControllerWorkerProducesModel verifies the worker publishes a populated
model (stable across repeated runs). Builds clean in all configs.
Real-backend smoke (lite_smoke --refresh now runs real output through the parsers) found
two integration bugs, documented in the plan for follow-up:
- syncstatus parser requires synced_blocks/total_blocks but the real idle response is
{"syncing":"false"} (string), so it fails to parse when not actively syncing.
- the first data query (balance/list) blocks on a full chain sync, which would hang the
worker's shutdown join — needs a cancel/timeout path.
