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.

Startup lock screen (soft): once the first refresh reveals the auto-opened wallet
is encrypted+locked, show the unlock modal on launch (reusing renderLiteUnlockPrompt,
one-shot per session). Soft by design — balances stay viewable via viewing keys
while locked, so the user may dismiss and browse read-only; only spending needs
the passphrase.
Real-backend verification: add `lite_smoke --encrypt` (create -> encryptionstatus
-> encrypt -> lock -> unlock, checking flags; passphrase never printed). Running it
against the real SDXL backend showed encrypt LOCKS immediately
(after encrypt: encrypted=1, locked=1) — the backend removes spending keys right
after encrypting. The controller already relays encryptionstatus faithfully (UI is
state-driven, so unaffected), but the fake modeled encrypt->unlocked; corrected the
fake (encrypt -> encrypted+locked) and the test sequence (encrypt -> unlock -> lock
-> decrypt) to match real behavior.
Builds clean, tests pass, hygiene clean.

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.

Auto-open: on the first update() tick (kept off init() so a slow
initialize_existing network call can't freeze startup before the window), if a
wallet file exists, open it. initialize_existing needs no passphrase — it loads
the file; a previously-synced + saved wallet resumes from its height (fast)
instead of rescanning from the checkpoint. Adds LiteWalletController::walletExists()
(bridge.walletExists on the connection's chain) + a chainName_ member.
RPC-refresh gating: the earlier connected=walletOpen() fix (so the wallet UI is
enabled in lite) had a side effect — the full-node periodic + per-page RPC
refreshes (mining/balance/peers/txs, and setCurrentPage's immediate refresh)
gate on state_.connected, so they began firing in lite and failing
("X error: Not connected"). Re-gate those on ACTUAL RPC connectivity
(rpc_ && rpc_->isConnected()) instead of the lite proxy. Full-node is unchanged
(state_.connected ⟺ rpc connected there); lite no longer issues any RPC.
Runtime-verified in WSLg with a pre-seeded wallet: app auto-opens (Starting
Mempool + sync begins), and "Not connected" / getMiningInfo / RPC-connect noise
all drop to 0 — a fully clean lite run. tests pass.

Route the existing receive/balance/send UI to the lite controller in lite builds,
with no per-tab UI changes — the existing buttons just work:
- App::createNewZAddress / createNewTAddress: lite branch calls
lite_wallet_->newAddress() (synchronous local key derivation), injects the new
address into WalletState so the UI selects it next frame, and invokes the
receive-tab callback. Placed before the full-node !connected guard.
- App::sendTransaction: lite branch builds a LiteSendRequest (DRGX -> zatoshis,
memo; `from`/`fee` ignored since the backend selects inputs and adds the fee),
fires the controller's async broadcast, and stashes the send_tab callback.
- App::update: drains takeBroadcastResult() and delivers txid/error to the stored
callback, so the send_tab's existing "sending.../sent" flow works unchanged.
All branches guard on lite_wallet_ (null in full-node). Verified: lite app +
test suite + full-node variant all build/link clean; hygiene clean.
Backup/import UI (export seed/keys, import) is deferred — it needs new
secret-display UI rather than an existing button.

The LiteWalletController was constructed once at App::init() with the lite
connection settings known at startup; changing the lite server in Settings
persisted to disk but never reached the live controller, so the new server had
no effect until the next launch.
Factor the construction into App::rebuildLiteWallet() and call it after a
successful server-selection save. The rebuild deliberately preserves a live
session: if a wallet is already open (and possibly mid-sync), it no-ops and the
new selection applies on the next controller build, rather than discarding the
open wallet and its uninterruptible in-flight sync.
Closes the last remaining HIGH from the session audit.

Add --lite build flow and ObsidianDragonLite target naming, hide full-node pages/features in lite mode, enforce pool-only mining in lite, and include chat port feasibility audit documentation.
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.

ago, wizard_daemon_start_failed
Split monolithic refreshData() into independent sub-functions
(refreshCoreData, refreshAddressData, refreshTransactionData,
refreshEncryptionState) each with its own timer and atomic guard.
Per-category timers replace the single 5s refresh_timer_:
- core_timer_: balance + blockchain info (5s default)
- transaction_timer_: tx list + enrichment (10s default)
- address_timer_: z/t address lists (15s default)
- peer_timer_: encryption state (10s default)
Tab-switching via setCurrentPage() adjusts active intervals so
the current tab's data refreshes faster (e.g. 3s core on Overview,
5s transactions on History) while background categories slow down.
Use fast_worker_ for core data on Overview tab to avoid blocking
behind the main refresh batch.
Bump version to 1.1.2.
- Add pool mining thread benchmark: cycles through thread counts with
20s warmup + 10s measurement to find optimal setting for CPU
- Add GPU-aware idle detection: GPU utilization >= 10% (video, games)
treats system as active; toggle in mining tab header (default: on)
Supports AMD sysfs, NVIDIA nvidia-smi, Intel freq ratio; -1 on macOS
- Fix idle thread scaling: use getRequestedThreads() for immediate
thread count instead of xmrig API threads_active which lags on restart
- Apply active thread count on initial mining start when user is active
- Skip idle mining adjustments while benchmark is running
- Disable thread grid drag-to-select during benchmark
- Add idle_gpu_aware setting with JSON persistence (default: true)
- Add 7 i18n English strings for benchmark and GPU-aware tooltips
Extract txids from completed z_sendmany operations and store in
send_txids_ so pure shielded sends are discoverable. The network
thread includes them in the enrichment set, calls z_viewtransaction,
caches results in viewtx_cache_, and removes them from send_txids_.
Mine-when-idle:
- Auto-start/stop mining based on system idle time detection
- Platform::getSystemIdleSeconds() via XScreenSaver (Linux) / GetLastInputInfo (Win)
- Settings: mine_when_idle toggle + configurable delay (30s–10m)
- Settings page UI with checkbox and delay combo
Console tab:
- Shell-like argument parsing with quote and JSON bracket support
- Pass JSON objects/arrays directly as RPC params
- Fix selection indices when lines are evicted from buffer
Connection & status bar:
- Reduce RPC connect timeout to 1s for localhost fast-fail
- Fast retry timer on daemon startup and external daemon detection
- Show pool mining hashrate in status bar; sidebar badge reflects pool state
UI polish:
- Add logo to About card in settings; expose logo dimensions on App
- Header title offset-y support; adjust content-area margins
- Fix banned peers row cursor position (rawRowPosB.x)
Branding:
- Update copyright to "DragonX Developers" in RC and About section
- Replace logo/icon assets with updated versions
Misc:
- setup.sh: checkout dragonx branch before pulling
- Remove stale prebuilt-binaries/xmrig/.gitkeep
Diagnostics & logging:
- add verbose logging system (VERBOSE_LOGF) with toggle in Settings
- forward app-level log messages to Console tab for in-UI visibility
- add detailed connection attempt logging (attempt #, daemon state,
config paths, auth failures, port owner identification)
- detect HTTP 401 auth failures and show actionable error messages
- identify port owner process (PID + name) on both Linux and Windows
- demote noisy acrylic/shader traces from DEBUG_LOGF to VERBOSE_LOGF
- persist verbose_logging preference in settings.json
- link iphlpapi on Windows for GetExtendedTcpTable
Security & encryption:
- update local encryption state immediately after encryptwallet RPC
so Settings reflects the change before daemon restarts
- show notifications for encrypt success/failure and PIN skip
- use dedicated RPC client for z_importwallet during decrypt flow
to avoid blocking main rpc_ curl_mutex (which starved peer/tx refresh)
- force full state refresh (addresses, transactions, peers) after
successful wallet import
Network tab:
- redesign peers refresh button as glass-panel with icon + label,
matching the mining button style
- add spinning arc animation while peer data is loading
(peer_refresh_in_progress_ atomic flag set/cleared in refreshPeerInfo)
- prevent double-click spam during refresh
- add refresh-button size to ui.toml
Other:
- use fast_rpc_ for rescan polling to avoid blocking on main rpc_
- enable DRAGONX_DEBUG in all build configs (was debug-only)
- setup.sh: pull latest xmrig-hac when repo already exists
RPC client:
- Add call() overload with per-call timeout parameter
- z_exportwallet uses 300s, z_importwallet uses 1200s timeout
Decrypt wallet (app_security.cpp, app.cpp):
- Show per-step and overall elapsed timers during decrypt flow
- Reduce dialog to 5 steps; close before key import begins
- Run z_importwallet on detached background thread
- Add pulsing "Importing keys..." status bar indicator
- Report success/failure via notifications instead of dialog
RPC caching (app_network.cpp, app.h):
- Cache z_viewtransaction results in viewtx_cache_ across refresh cycles
- Skip RPC calls for already-cached txids (biggest perf win)
- Build confirmed_tx_cache_ for deeply-confirmed transactions
- Clear all caches on disconnect
- Remove unused refreshTransactions() dead code
Peers (app_network.cpp, peers_tab.cpp):
- Route refreshPeerInfo() through fast_worker_ to avoid head-of-line blocking
- Replace footer "Refresh Peers" button with ICON_MD_REFRESH in toggle header
- Refresh button triggers both peer list and full blockchain data refresh
Mining (mining_tab.cpp):
- Allow pool mining toggle when blockchain is not synced
- Pool mining only needs xmrig, not local daemon sync
- Fix z_importwallet to use full path instead of filename only
- Add rescanBlockchain() method that restarts daemon with -rescan flag
- Track rescan progress via daemon output parsing and getrescaninfo RPC
- Display rescan progress in status bar with animated indicator when starting
- Improve dark theme card contrast: lighter surface-variant, tinted borders, stronger rim-light
- Remove getinfo from refreshMiningInfo slow path; daemon_version,
protocol_version, and p2p_port are static per connection (set in
onConnected). Move longestchain/notarized into refreshBalance's
existing getblockchaininfo callback.
- Remove refreshMiningInfo from refreshData(); it already runs on
the 1-second fast_refresh_timer_ independently.
- Make refreshAddresses demand-driven via addresses_dirty_ flag;
only re-fetch when a new address is created or a send completes,
not unconditionally every 5 seconds.
- Gate refreshPeerInfo to only run when the Peers tab is active.
- Skip duplicate getwalletinfo on connect; onConnected() already
prefetches it for immediate lock-screen display, so suppress the
redundant call in the first refreshData() cycle.
Steady-state savings: ~8 fewer RPC calls per 5-second cycle
(from ~12+ down to ~4-5 in the common case).
