- Pin the ed25519 public key in xmrig_updater.h, activating signature verification in soft mode
(kXmrigRequireSignature=false): a release's ".sig" asset is verified when present, but an
unsigned release still installs on TLS + SHA-256. Verified live against the current release
(v6.25.2, which ships no .sig yet) — still installs.
- gitignore *.ed25519.key / *.ed25519.pub.b64 so a signing secret key can never be committed.
- Add a unit test that the pinned key decodes to a valid 32-byte ed25519 key (a malformed paste
fails the build, not silently disabling verification).
Bug fix (found via a flaky test): verifyXmrigSignature trimmed trailing whitespace BEFORE the
raw-64-byte check, so a raw signature whose last byte equals '\n'/'\r'/space/tab (~1.6% of
signatures) was corrupted and rejected. Now base64 is tried first (safe to trim) and the raw
path uses the exact untrimmed bytes. Added a deterministic regression test that forces a
whitespace-terminated raw signature. Suite is stable (0 failures in 10 runs; was ~3/8).
Also de-brittled the live integration test: it no longer pins a release-specific binary hash
(reaching Done already means the worker verified the binary against the release's own checksum).

Closes the supply-chain gap the review flagged: today the archive and its SHA-256 share one
trust root (the release body), so a compromised/edited release can ship an arbitrary binary
that still "verifies". This adds authenticity via a detached ed25519 signature checked against
a public key PINNED IN THE BINARY (not fetched), using libsodium's crypto_sign_verify_detached.
Opt-in / soft rollout:
- kXmrigSignaturePublicKeyBase64 in xmrig_updater.h is EMPTY by default -> signatures are not
checked and behavior is unchanged (TLS + SHA-256 only). Paste the base64 public key to enable.
- Once a key is pinned, an install verifies a "<archive>.sig" asset (base64/raw 64-byte ed25519
signature over the archive bytes) when present; kXmrigRequireSignature=true additionally
refuses installs that publish no signature.
- The check runs after the SHA-256 check, over the same already-read archive bytes; refuses on
a missing key-but-required, unreachable .sig, or invalid signature.
- verifyXmrigSignature + selectXmrigSignatureAsset are pure (libsodium only) and unit-tested:
valid base64 + raw-64-byte signatures verify; tampered data, wrong key, and malformed/empty
inputs all fail closed. Cross-tool interop verified (Python stdlib base64 == sodium base64).
- scripts/sign-xmrig-release.sh: keygen / sign / pubkey helper (PyNaCl = same libsodium ed25519)
to produce the .sig assets and the public key to pin.
No behavior change until a key is pinned. Both variants build; suite passes; live worker
re-verified (signatures off by default).

Addresses confirmed findings from the multi-lens review of the updater:
- Cancelable + live progress (was: download uncancelable, progress stuck at 0%, closing
the dialog mid-download blocked the UI thread on the worker join). Wire a libcurl
CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION that publishes byte counts and returns abort when cancel() is
requested; add a Cancel button. The dialog's destructor now aborts the transfer promptly,
so closing mid-download no longer freezes the UI.
- Graceful "unavailable" instead of a red error on platforms with no published build
(macOS / ARM): new terminal State::Unavailable rendered neutrally, not as a failure.
- Install-time running guard (TOCTOU): App::isPoolMinerRunning() re-checked in the dialog
before each install, so a dialog opened before mining started can't replace a live binary.
- Size caps: CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE on the download and a per-archive-member ceiling before
decomphressing into memory, to bound an attacker-controlled archive.
- Distinguish a local read failure of the downloaded archive from a checksum mismatch
(was reported misleadingly as "possible tampering").
- Reword the dialog's verification note to "checked against the release's published SHA-256
checksum" (integrity, not authenticity — see the signing note below).
Not fixed here (needs your input): WinRing0x64.sys has no per-file hash published, but it is
covered by the verified archive checksum (it is inside the verified zip); and the release is
not cryptographically signed — checksums and binary share one trust root. Adding a pinned-key
ed25519/minisign signature is the real supply-chain hardening and needs an offline signing key
+ a release-process change.
Both variants build; suite passes; live worker re-verified end-to-end on linux-x64.

Adds util/XmrigUpdater: a background-thread service (mirrors util/Bootstrap) that pulls
the latest DRG-XMRig release from the project's Gitea, verifies it, and installs the miner
binary into the daemon directory. Service layer only; the mining-tab UI hook comes next.
Flow: GET /api/v1/repos/DragonX/drg-xmrig/releases/latest -> pick the asset matching this
platform (…-linux-x64.zip / …-win-x64.zip; no macOS build -> graceful "unavailable") ->
download (libcurl, TLS verified) -> verify the archive SHA-256 -> extract with miniz,
flattening the versioned subdir the archive nests the binary in -> verify the extracted
binary's SHA-256 in memory before writing it -> atomic install (+chmod +x on POSIX). On
Windows also extracts WinRing0x64.sys; config.json/README.md are skipped.
Security (download-and-execute): TLS is verified, and BOTH the archive and the inner binary
are checked against the SHA-256 checksums published in the release body (parsed as
"<hex> <name>" lines) — install is refused on a missing or mismatched checksum.
Split into a pure core (xmrig_updater_core.cpp: release parse, asset/platform match, checksum
parse, SHA-256) and the curl/miniz worker (xmrig_updater.cpp). The core is unit-tested against
a real captured release fixture (tests/fixtures/xmrig/release_latest.json); an env-gated
(DRAGONX_TEST_NETWORK=1) integration test exercises the worker live and was verified end-to-end
on linux-x64 (inner binary SHA-256 matches the published value). Both variants build; suite passes.

When the user confirms a send on a locked encrypted lite wallet, show an unlock
modal (passphrase -> unlockWallet) instead of letting the backend reject it with
"Wallet is locked". After unlocking, the user re-confirms the send (the form is
preserved). Balances remain viewable while locked; only spending needs unlock.
- send_tab: the Confirm-and-send button routes to App::requestLiteUnlock() when
getWalletState().isLocked(), else sends as before.
- App::renderLiteUnlockPrompt(): centered modal, passphrase (Enter submits),
Unlock/Cancel; the passphrase buffer is sodium-zeroed after every path.
Full-node unaffected (gated on liteWallet()/isLocked()). Builds clean, launches
clean, tests pass.

Replace the bare "land on main UI with a No-wallet overlay" first-run with a
lite welcome modal, shown when no wallet file exists yet (lite_wallet_ present,
not open, walletExists() false):
- "Create new wallet" — one-click createWallet({}); on success, notifies the user
to back up their recovery phrase and navigates to Settings (Backup & keys),
where the seed can be revealed/copied via the existing backup UI.
- "Restore from seed" — navigates to Settings (Lite wallet request → Restore).
- "Later" — dismiss for the session.
Routes to the already-built + verified create/restore/backup flows rather than
re-implementing seed display in the modal (no new secret-handling surface).
Dismissed once an action is chosen; never shown again once a wallet exists.
Full-node is unaffected (renderLiteFirstRunPrompt() returns early when
lite_wallet_ is null). English i18n built-ins added.
Verified: fresh-HOME lite launch shows the prompt, clean run + shutdown, no
crash/RPC noise; tests pass.

In lite builds there is no daemon, and isConnected() now tracks the lite wallet,
so the full-node "not connected / waiting for daemon" wording was misleading when
no wallet is open. Add two strings (lite_no_wallet, lite_no_wallet_short; English
built-ins, so other languages fall back until translated) and use them in lite:
- receive/send address preview + receive empty-state overlay + send "can't send"
tooltip + transactions empty state -> "No wallet open [— create or open one in
Settings]" instead of daemon wording.
- Status bar: the red indicator shows "No wallet open" (not "Disconnected") in
lite; the P2P peer count is skipped (lite has no peers); and the redundant
full-node connection-detail line is suppressed (connection_status_ set to
"Connected"/"" from the lite wallet state).
Full-node wording unchanged (all gated on isLiteBuild()). Build + run clean
(no RPC noise), tests pass.

Add an encrypted SQLite transaction history cache with cached tip metadata and
per-address shielded scan progress so startup and full refreshes avoid
re-scanning every z-address while still invalidating on wallet/address/rescan
changes.
Improve wallet history loading by paging transparent transactions, preserving
cached shielded and sent rows, keeping recent/unconfirmed activity visible, and
classifying mining-address receives. Show z_sendmany opid sends immediately in
History and Overview, pin pending rows through refreshes, and apply optimistic
address/balance debits until opids resolve.
Add timestamped RPC console tracing by source/method without logging params or
results, reduce redundant refresh/RPC calls, and cache Explorer recent block
summaries in SQLite.
Expand focused tests for transaction cache encryption, scan-progress
persistence/invalidation, history preservation, operation-status parsing,
pending send visibility, and Explorer/RPC refresh behavior.

- Add decay when no new blocks arrive for 10s so rate doesn't stay stale
- Add 7 missing translation keys (timeout_off/1min/5min/15min/30min/1hour,
slider_off) to all 8 language files so settings dropdowns translate
- Show language names in native script (中文, Русский, 日本語, 한국어)
instead of initial burst performance. Previously the benchmark used a
fixed 20s warmup + 10s peak measurement, which reported inflated
results on thermally constrained hardware (e.g. 179 H/s vs actual
sustained 117 H/s on a MacBook Pro).
- Adaptive warmup with stability detection: mine for at least 90s,
then compare rolling 10s hashrate windows. Require 3 consecutive
windows within 5% before declaring thermal equilibrium (cap 300s)
- Average-based measurement: record mean hashrate over 30s instead
of peak, reflecting real sustained throughput
- Start candidates at half the system cores — lower thread counts
are rarely optimal and waste time warming up
- Add CoolingDown phase: 5s idle pause between tests so each starts
from a similar thermal baseline
- Adaptive time estimates: use observed warmup durations from
completed tests to predict remaining time
- UI shows Stabilizing when waiting for thermal equilibrium past
the minimum warmup, Cooling during idle pauses"

- Add pool mining thread benchmark: cycles through thread counts with
20s warmup + 10s measurement to find optimal setting for CPU

treats system as active; toggle in mining tab header (default: on)
Supports AMD sysfs, NVIDIA nvidia-smi, Intel freq ratio; -1 on macOS
