Loopback HTTP was still subject to the process environment's proxy
settings (http_proxy / all_proxy). That routed the local daemon's
basic-auth credentials and wallet data - and the miner's 127.0.0.1
stats API - through whatever proxy the user's shell happened to
export, and could break the connection outright.
- Local daemon RPC now sets curl's no-proxy to "*" when the host is
loopback, so it always connects directly. This also overrides a
no_proxy list. Remote daemons keep full proxy support unchanged.
- The xmrig stats fetch against the local miner API does the same.

The miner's stats and pool-API fetches are blocking HTTP calls on the
monitor thread with multi-second timeouts. When the miner was stopped,
stop() still had to wait out an in-flight request before the monitor
thread could join.
- Both fetches now install a curl progress callback that aborts the
transfer as soon as a stop is requested, so a request in flight ends
promptly instead of running down its timeout.
- An abort triggered by stop is treated as a clean cancellation, not a
fetch failure, so it is not logged or counted against the failure
warning.

Stopping the miner closed the stdout pipe before joining the monitor
thread, and the UI thread's stats poll also drained stdout. Either path
could read or close a descriptor the other side was still using, so a
read could land on a closed or already-reused fd.
- stop() now joins the monitor thread first and only then closes the
process handle and the stdout pipe, so nothing is draining the pipe
when it is closed.
- The stdout drain is serialized under its own mutex, and the UI
thread's stats poll no longer drains stdout at all: the monitor thread
is the sole reader. The process handle, pid and fds are atomic so they
can be observed safely from the memory probe.

The embedded daemon and the xmrig manager each kept their own copy of
the console output ring: append new bytes, trim the front to a cap at a
newline boundary, and hand a reader everything since its offset. The two
copies had drifted. The daemon tracked an absolute byte total so a
reader's offset stayed valid across a front-trim, while the miner keyed
its reader off the live buffer size, so a trim could silently rewind the
console feed.
- The append/trim and the since-offset logic now live in one small
header, outputWindowSince and appendBounded, included by both. The
trim keeps the newline-boundary cut and the guard that stops a lone
trailing newline from erasing the whole buffer.
- The xmrig manager now carries the same absolute byte total, so its
reader resolves against the window the same way and survives a trim
(and a process restart that clears the buffer but keeps the total).
Tests cover feeding the ring well past the trim point while a reader
polls each chunk (the feed is continuous and never dies at the trim),
the lone-trailing-newline guard, and a cleared buffer with a retained
total.

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.

_popen/_popen-style shell-outs flash a cmd.exe console window on Windows. Add
Platform::runHiddenCapture() — CreateProcess + CREATE_NO_WINDOW capturing stdout on
Windows, popen on POSIX — and route the remaining shell-outs through it:
- GPU-aware idle detection (getGpuUtilization: "where nvidia-smi" / "nvidia-smi --query-gpu")
- xmrig discovery + version (findXmrigBinary "where xmrig.exe"; "<bin> --version", stderr merged)
- wallet-rebuild helper (app_network) — keeps its exit-code check via the new exitCode out-param
None of these are on the launch path (that was the daemon spawn, fixed in a2f84be); each
would flash a console only when it ran (idle-GPU mining, mining tab, wallet recovery).

Fixes all 22 confirmed findings from the mining-tab audit (10 Medium, 12 Low; 0 Critical/High),
adversarially reviewed (6 follow-ups found + fixed, incl. the review-caught idle-auto-start bypass
and a wrong benchmark-restore condition).
Crash-safety & lifecycle:
- M-04: join a stale/finished monitor thread in XmrigManager::start() and ~XmrigManager so an xmrig
crash-then-restart (or quit) no longer std::terminate()s the wallet.
- L-03/L-10: surface an unexpected miner exit once and clear the stale running flag.
UI never blocks (M-03/L-06/L-08/L-09/L-13): pool start/stop now run on a dedicated serialized FIFO
mining-control thread (joined before teardown), so the ~13 call sites don't block the render thread on
stop()'s SIGTERM->SIGKILL->join; the spawn result marshals back to the UI.
Miner-process / pool trust boundary:
- M-01: validate the payout address (util::isValidRecipientAddress) at EVERY start path — the UI gate
AND App::startPoolMining() (idle auto-start / thread scaling) — so a stale/wrong-chain address can't
silently lose rewards.
- M-09: SSRF guard skips the background pool-stats GET for loopback/private/link-local/single-label hosts.
- M-02/L-02: cap the pool-stats + xmrig-API HTTP response bodies.
- L-01: write the xmrig config 0600 at creation (POSIX open with mode) — no world/group-readable window.
- M-10: reject shell-metacharacter binary paths before the version popen (excluding '()' so Program Files
(x86) still works).
Solo mining: M-06/M-08 clamp thread count to [1, cores] at the setgenerate/xmrig boundary; M-07 notify +
don't lie on stop failure.
Correctness: L-05 block-time constant 75->150s (chainparams); M-05 discloses pool-mode "Est. Daily" as a
rough solo-equivalent; L-04/L-11/L-12 benchmark lifecycle (cancel on nav-away / mode-switch with restore,
skip rebalance mid-benchmark); L-07 honor cancel mid-extract in both the xmrig and daemon updaters.
Two new i18n keys back-filled across all 8 languages; CJK subset font rebuilt for the new glyphs.
Verified across full-node, lite, and Windows builds; tests pass.

Security audit remediation (15 confirmed findings from the codebase audit):
- H-02: scrub+delete the decrypt-flow plaintext key export on ALL exit paths
(RAII guard) and purge stale obsidiandecryptexport* files at startup.
- M-01/L-03/L-04/L-05/L-07: sodium_memzero the Set-PIN and encrypt-PIN worker
passphrase/PIN copies, the RPC Basic-auth string (auth_), the exported/imported
key buffers (App::wipeSecrets, called from ~App and before main's _Exit), and
the first-run wizard "Skip" buffers.
- M-03/M-04/M-05/L-06: return locked COPIES from XmrigManager/EmbeddedDaemon
getters (dedicated error_mutex_; DaemonController::lastError now by value),
route xmrig last_error_ writes through a locked setter, and wrap
shutdown_status_/wizard_stop_status_ in a locking GuardedStatus
(wizard_stopping_external_ -> std::atomic).
- M-02: persist after a console send/shield/import in the lite backend.
- L-01: require the confirm click for z_shieldcoinbase/z_mergetoaddress.
- L-02: quote/escape each Windows daemon argv per the MSDN CommandLineToArgvW rules.
- L-08: pin json/tomlplusplus/libwebp FetchContent to immutable commit SHAs.
- I-01: extract updater archives from the already-verified in-memory buffer
(no disk re-read TOCTOU).
Feature: warn once (full-node) when the active wallet loads empty while a sibling
wallet file in the datadir holds keys. A funded salvage wallet.<ts>.bak routes to
the recovery/Restore flow; a funded sibling .dat routes to the wallet manager.
Per-wallet-file dismissal; gated on synced + address-list-loaded to avoid false
positives on warm reconnect / spent-down wallets.
UX fixes:
- send: show the TOTAL balance (with a spendable "available" note) in the source
dropdown and keep pending-change addresses visible.
- chat: insert emoji at the cursor position; restrict new-chat recipients to
shielded (z) addresses.
- console: optional auto-focus of the command input on tab open (off by default).
- shutdown: when "stop external daemon" is on, keep the shutdown screen up until
the external node actually exits, showing live status.
Adversarially reviewed; verified across full-node, lite, and Windows builds; tests pass.

Point the miner build at DragonX/drg-xmrig and rename the prebuilt staging
dir xmrig-hac -> drg-xmrig across setup.sh, build.sh, the legacy Windows
script, .gitignore and README.
setup.sh now clones/builds the miner from git.dragonx.is/DragonX/drg-xmrig
(was dragonx/xmrig-hac), and the prebuilt staging dir is renamed
prebuilt-binaries/xmrig-hac -> prebuilt-binaries/drg-xmrig across build.sh, the
legacy Windows build script, .gitignore and README.
Also aligns setup.sh's section-8 directory list with section 7 (it previously
used a bare "xmrig" token, creating a stray empty prebuilt-binaries/xmrig/),
and updates the xmrig_manager.cpp header comment.

Dev-branch audit (docs/_archive/security-audit-dev-2026-07-22.md) re-found the
master issues (absent on dev) plus new ones in dev-only code. Applied here;
full-node build + test suite green; the subtle fixes were adversarially re-verified.
Ported from the master remediation (adapted to dev's code):
- bootstrap: reject zip-slip / path-traversal archive members (isSafeArchivePath)
before writing (S2-1). (dev already fail-closes on a missing checksum.)
- xmrig updater: fail closed when a signature is required but no key is pinned (F1-1).
- http_download.httpGetString: 16 MiB hard cap + MAXFILESIZE on the shared
metadata/price fetch (F1-2 / caps the updater + exchange paths at one site).
- rpc_client: explicit SSL_VERIFYPEER/VERIFYHOST (F4-1) and a 256 MiB response
cap in WriteCallback (F4-3).
- lite_connection_service: reject remote http:// lite servers, loopback only (L1-1).
Loopback is matched by a strict dotted-decimal 127.0.0.0/8 check (not a
startsWith("127.") prefix, which would wrongly accept 127.0.0.1.evil.com), with
userinfo/fragment stripping.
- lite controller: propagate encrypt/decrypt save() failure instead of reporting
success (F7-1).
- xmrig_manager: chmod(0600) the pool config before writing secrets (F5-2).
- app: clear the copied secret from the OS clipboard on shutdown (F3b-1).
- export_transactions: neutralize CSV/spreadsheet formula injection (F13-1).
- build pipeline: build-from-source lite backend + remove the self-attested
CMake signature gate (F15-1); pinned+verified appimagetool (F15-3/4);
verified Sapling params in setup.sh (F15-6); build.sh exits 0 on success.
(F14-1 empty-quoted-arg and F8-2 NUL-termination were already fixed on dev.)
Dev-only findings:
- rpc_client.callRaw: scrub the raw buffer + parsed tree (templated scrubJsonSecrets
for ordered_json) so console dumpprivkey/z_exportkey keys don't linger in freed
heap (N1-1).
- seed_wallet_creator: wipe the exported mnemonic on the failure path so a discarded
failed result never carries a live seed (W1-2).
- export_all_keys: write the plaintext key dump 0600 + atomically via
writeFileAtomically (U1-2).
- chat_database: restrict chat_messages.sqlite and its WAL/SHM sidecars to owner-only (C3-1).
Not done (need a decision, documented in the report):
- Chat header metadata (cid/z/p) rides outside the AEAD (C1/C2) — binding it is a
wire-protocol change requiring SilentDragonXLite interop review.
- Bootstrap lacks an offline-rooted signature (S2-2 residual) — needs signing infra.
- Console scrollback retains console-typed key-export output in plaintext (N1-1
residual) — inherent to an echoing console; would need output redaction.

- app: periodic weighted-random auto-balance of the pool while pool-mining
(~30-min cadence; restarts the miner only when the pick actually changes),
plus snapshot + refresh accessors for the UI.
- app_network: resolve the xmrig algo per pool at start (pool.dragonx.cc =
rx/dragonx, pool.dragonx.is = rx/hush; custom hosts keep the setting).
- xmrig_manager: schema-aware pool-side hashrate readout (fixes a silent 0 for
Miningcore pools); expose the running miner's version from its HTTP API and a
cached `xmrig --version` detection so the UI can show it before mining.
- wallet_state: carry the running miner's version.
