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).

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.

Bundles the session's UI work (the touched files carry several of these
changes together, so they are committed as one coherent UI batch):
- FAQ: new RenderFaqDialog + data-driven faq_content, opened from a
status-bar "?" (and the Windows title bar), styled like the Wallets
modal with search, Wallet/Daemon tabs, and smooth scroll.
- DPI/font-scale audit: multiply hand-drawn absolute geometry by
Layout::dpiScale() across ~30 files so nothing renders native-size at
HiDPI / font_scale 1.5 (verified with a full sweep at 1.5x).
- Mining: chart now fills the horizontal space; thread stepper +/- buttons
match the input-box height; move the stratum-host toggle into
Node & Security (v1.3.0+).
- Settings: fix the auto-shield status text overlapping the grid.
- Sidebar: drop the peer-count badge on the Network button.
- i18n: wrap 193 hardcoded literals with TR() (keys/translations added in
the preceding i18n commit), so the security/PIN/lock flow, seed-backup
wizard, and witness-rebuild dialog localize.

Addresses the cross-screen inconsistencies from the layout audit by routing screens onto
the design system's own (previously under-used) shared helpers:
- Dialog footers: migrate ~9 overlay dialogs off hand-rolled placement onto the shared
helpers — DialogActionFooter (primary+Close), DialogConfirmFooter, or
BeginOverlayDialogFooter for custom/multi-button rows — so footers share one centered
treatment. All footer/action buttons now use TactileButton (glass press) instead of the
bare StyledButton some dialogs used.
- Empty states: add a shared material::DrawEmptyState(icon, title, hint) (centered icon +
title + wrapped hint) and adopt it in Peers, Transactions, and Market-portfolio, which
previously showed a bare left-aligned caption.
- Security dialogs: add the missing Cancel to Change Passphrase and Set PIN so the whole
security family shares a two-button footer (Cancel dismisses without applying).
- Transactions pager: shared TactileButton helpers (matching Explorer).
- Frosted-pane rounding: Contacts/Chat use Layout::glassRounding() instead of hardcoded
12/10/8px literals, matching Peers.
- "Set Label..." title loses its stray trailing ellipsis.
Preserves every button's label and action; the transfer footer's order becomes
[Confirm][Cancel] to match the shared helper's primary-first convention. Verified at 1280
across full-node + Lite + Windows (ctest green) and an adversarial diff review (clean).

At font_scale 1.5 ~13 sites read absolute geometry (schema .size/.width) straight
into ImGui without ×dpiScale(), so they stayed native-size while the font grew and
overlapped/clipped real text or money:
- Shield/Merge fee + UTXO inputs, Request Payment amount, Block Info height input:
×dpiScale() so the value no longer clips (e.g. 0.00010000 -> 0.00010).
- Send: the confirm-popup Amount Details divider (floored the row step at the scaled
caption height so it no longer strikes the Fee row), the tx-progress error and
sending/success cards, and the zero-balance CTA button — all ×dp.
- Mining pool row: ellipsis-truncate the hostname so it can't collide with the
right-aligned hashrate.
- Chat conversation list: scale the pane-width clamp AND clip the peer name to the
column left of the timestamp (measure-then-clip) so name and time never overlap.
- Explorer block-detail label column, Peers row offsets, and DialogConfirmFooter
button height — ×dp.
transaction_details keeps its negative fill-sentinel widths unscaled (a content
margin, not raw px). Verified at font_scale 1.5 across full-node + Lite + Windows
(ctest green) and an adversarial diff review (three wrong-scale regressions fixed).

The inner scroll child (##PeersList / ConsoleOutput) uses NoScrollWithMouse + ApplySmoothScroll; ImGui forwards its wheel up to the outer scroll container, so the wheel scrolled both. Add NoScrollWithMouse to the outer containers (safe: both fill the remaining height and never overflow), matching the contacts/explorer fix.

Tighten input handling across several dialogs so bad/edge input can't
produce a doomed request or a confusing display:
- app_security: passphrase strength meter now factors character-class
diversity — an all-one-class string downgrades one tier so "aaaaaaaa"
no longer scores as high as a mixed one.
- block_info: clamp the height field to the chain tip and hide/deny
"Next" at the tip (was only yielding a raw RPC error).
- address_label: trim surrounding whitespace before saving; a
whitespace-only label clears it (mirrors clearing the icon).
- send_tab: re-clamp the amount when a Max send has its fee bumped in the
confirm popup (kept the total within budget) and NUL-terminate the
strncpy'd address/memo when a payment URI overwrites the form.
- settings_page: reject an empty/whitespace-only lite wallet path before
dispatching an unusable open/restore request.
- peers_tab: guard ExtractIP against an empty address.
- transaction_details: disable "View in explorer" when the configured
explorer URL is empty/whitespace so we never open a garbage link.
- app: seed-backup "Skip" now requires a second, deliberate click with a
fund-loss warning before it dismisses.

UI-standardization audit: three draw patterns were copy-pasted across tabs and
dialogs. Promote each to a material:: helper and adopt at every verbatim site.
Output is pixel-identical (same colors/geometry threaded through as params).
- material::DrawProgressBar / ProgressBar — replaces 3 byte-identical rounded
fill bars in the daemon/xmrig/bootstrap download dialogs.
- material::CopyableTextOverlay — the click-to-copy affordance (hit button +
hand cursor + tooltip + hover underline + clipboard) shared by the peers
best-block hash and the 3 mining stats (difficulty/block/address). Returns
"copied this frame" so callers keep their own toast (no ui-layer dependency).
- material::DrawPill / PillSize — rounded bg + optional border + inset text
badge, shared by the explorer status pill, the market Z/T chip, and the
network official/custom tag.
Divergent one-offs left in place (transactions status pills use schema rounding
around pre-positioned multi-line text; the mining filter-pill is a button bg).

Three UI de-duplications (rendering changes; the test suite skips the GUI, so
these need a manual screenshot check of the Balance/Peers/Transactions tabs).
1. Classic balance layout — the DEFAULT layout — hand-rolled its own ~550-line
address-list + recent-tx renderers that had DIVERGED from the shared
RenderSharedAddressList/RenderSharedRecentTx used by the other 9 layouts.
Deleted the inline copies and called the shared renderers (as the minimal
layout already does), so the default layout now gains set-label +
add-to-portfolio context items, custom address icons, drag-to-reorder,
keyboard nav, copy-flash, and fully TR()'d strings. Hero row and Classic
sizing (tabs.balance.classic address-table-height=340) preserved; addrH is
computed before the call exactly as before. This is a deliberate
feature-parity behavior change for the default layout.
2. peers_tab info cards — extracted drawStatCell() (label + value/em-dash with
the shared offset math) and one drawCardDivider() replacing two duplicate
divider lambdas; plain cells drive off a per-card loop. Bespoke cells
(Blocks "(X left)", copy-on-click Best Block, TLS check-icon) kept inline.
3. transactions_tab — one drawSummaryCard() replaces the three near-identical
Received/Sent/Mined blocks (same glass panel, icon, hover outline,
click-to-filter). Byte-equivalent.
Full-node + Lite build clean (net -651 lines, no new warnings); ctest 1/1;
hygiene clean. NEEDS SCREENSHOT VERIFICATION.

Mechanical, behavior-preserving consolidations from the audit. Rendering
extractions were kept byte-equivalent; sites that couldn't be made identical
were left as-is (noted below).
Shared helpers:
- util::truncateMiddle(s,maxLen) / (s,front,back) in text_format.h — replaces
6 file-local middle-ellipsis truncators + several inline substr sites
(send/receive/transactions/balance_recent_tx/explorer + app.cpp + 3 dialogs).
Carries the maxLen<=3 guard, fixing the latent unsigned-underflow copies.
- material::LoadingDots() in draw_helpers.h — one animated-ellipsis source for
8 copy-pasted spinner sites (identical GetTime()*3 phase preserved).
- Reuse the existing FormatHashrate() in explorer_tab + peers_tab (dropped two
inline hashrate ladders).
- material::DrawButtonGlassOverlay() — the glass-fill/rim/tactile overlay block
shared by TactileButton / TactileSmallButton / schema TactileButton.
- material::CollapsibleHeader() — the invisible-button + label + chevron idiom
(3 of 5 settings_page sites; RPC/Debug headers skipped — non-identical).
- material::GlassCardScope (RAII) — the ChannelsSplit/Indent/DrawGlassPanel/
ChannelsMerge card scaffold (5 settings_page cards; About/send/receive skipped
— different padding / logo interleaving).
- material::DialogWarningHeader()/DialogConfirmFooter() — warning header +
50/50 Cancel/danger footer across the confirm dialogs; button height moved
from a hardcoded 40px into ui.toml (components.overlay-dialog.confirm-btn-height).
- File-local enterLowSpec()/exitLowSpec() collapse the 3 low-spec snapshot copies.
i18n: wrapped hardcoded English in the shared balance render paths and the
whole Lite lifecycle/security section in TR(), with English defaults added to
loadBuiltinEnglish() (res/lang/*.json left for the translation tooling — TR
falls back to English, so output is unchanged).
Full-node + Lite build clean; ctest 1/1; hygiene clean. These are rendering
changes — the Settings page (cards/headers/confirm dialogs), all tactile
buttons, and the Lite settings section warrant a screenshot check.

Add material::Tooltip / BeginTooltip / EndTooltip wrappers (tooltip_style.h)
that scope a small window padding (8x4, dpi-scaled) and ~85% opacity to
tooltips only, then route the tooltip call sites through them. Menus and combo
dropdowns are untouched (they keep the global opaque PopupBg).

- Market chart now plots the real accumulated price_history instead of a
rand()-generated curve; the hover tooltip no longer claims a specific "Xh ago"
price and the x-axis only labels the truthful "Now" point. Falls back to the
existing empty state until there are >=2 real samples.
- Transactions summary cards exclude autoshield legs (same txid send + receive-to-z)
so a shield isn't double-counted into both Sent and Received, matching the list.
- Send/Receive sync banners use verification_progress like every other surface,
instead of the blocks/headers ratio that over-reports during early sync.
- Fix printf format/type mismatches: %.0f<-int (market % shielded), %d<-size_t
(peer counts), %ld<-int64_t (peer byte counters, wrong on Windows).

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.
