When the wallet is connected but the balance has quietly stopped refreshing — a busy
daemon can fail z_gettotalbalance without dropping the whole connection (only *both*
core RPCs failing 3x triggers a disconnect) — the old number sits on screen while the
node-status banner stays hidden. The Total Balance card now shows a small pill on its
status line ("Updated 2m ago", amber, escalating to red past 3 min) so the stale value
isn't silently trusted; hovering explains it and points at the node connection.
No refresh-path changes: WalletState::last_balance_update is already stamped only on a
successful fetch (network_refresh_service.cpp), so the badge reads it and computes age
against the same std::time clock via util::formatTimeAgoShort. The decision is a pure,
unit-tested helper (ui/staleness_badge.h::evaluateStalenessBadge, 45s/180s thresholds)
gated on connected so it never contradicts the banner.
Closes P2 (5/5). Build-clean; ctest 1/1 (adds testStalenessBadge).

A persistent horizontal strip now appears at the top of the content column whenever the
wallet can't reach its node — unlike the transient toasts it stays up for as long as the
fault persists, so an offline wallet is never silently mistaken for a working one.
The show/severity/action decision is a pure, unit-tested function
(ui/node_status_banner.h::evaluateNodeStatusBanner) fed a state snapshot by the new
App::renderNodeStatusBanner(). Three cases:
- full-node offline -> amber, "Reconnect" (App::tryConnect)
- embedded daemon crashed
& auto-restart gave up -> red, "Restart node" (App::restartDaemon)
- lite wallet open failed -> red, message-only
Suppressed during the wizard / wallet-switch / daemon-restart / screenshot-sweep / shutdown,
and while an expected startup phase (warmup / init / connect-in-progress) already owns the
screen. Banner height lives in res/themes/ui.toml (banners.node-status); colours come from the
material semantic palette; the detail text is ellipsis-clipped so it can't push the action
button off-screen. Drawn before the content edge-fade vertex capture so it stays fully opaque.
New i18n keys (node_banner_*). Build-clean both variants; ctest 1/1 (adds testNodeStatusBanner).

Settings (logging section) gains two support-friendly actions, now that the logging
foundation actually produces logs (W7-2):
- Open log folder: opens the config dir (Platform::openFolder) so users can find
dragonx-debug.log / dragonx-crash.log.
- Copy diagnostics: copies a plaintext support snapshot to the clipboard via the new
App::buildDiagnosticsReport() — version, build variant, platform, connection status,
active wallet path + existence + size, encryption/lock state, sync heights, and (full-
node) daemon status/running/crash-count/lastError, plus the log paths. No secrets.
Build-clean; ctest 1/1. Remaining QoL: persistent alert history, a daemon/RPC error
banner, and the W6-2 refresh-staleness badge. See docs/wallet-hardening.md.

The Foundation tier — answers the original "make it easier to diagnose problems" ask.
- W7-2 (keystone): the app-level Logger file sink was never initialized, so LOG/LOGF/
VERBOSE_LOGF went nowhere and dragonx-debug.log didn't exist on Linux/macOS at all.
main() now calls Logger::init(<config>/dragonx-debug.log) on every platform. Fixed a
latent deadlock this exposed: init() wrote its banner via write(), which re-locks the
non-recursive mutex_ it already holds — now written directly. On Windows the raw
stdout/stderr freopen moved to a separate dragonx-stdout.log so the two writers don't
contend on one file. Added testLoggerFileSink (also a deadlock guard — it would hang if
the fix regressed).
- W7-3: no crash handler existed on Linux/macOS. Added an async-signal-safe sigaction
handler (SIGSEGV/ABRT/BUS/FPE/ILL) that writes the signal id + a backtrace_symbols_fd
backtrace to dragonx-crash.log, then re-raises the default disposition for a core dump —
the POSIX counterpart of the Windows SEH filter.
- W7-4: Logger::init now rotates the log to a single .1 backup past 10 MB, so a long or
verbose session can't grow it unbounded.
Build-clean; ctest 1/1. Remaining Foundation: the QoL bundle (mostly UI). See
docs/wallet-hardening.md.

P2 robustness batch (localized):
- W5-1 (Med, lite): persistAfterBroadcast returned false on a persistent post-send/shield
save failure, but both callers discarded it and it never logged — completely silent. It
now liteLogs the failure (the spent note re-derives on the next sync, so it's a
robustness gap, not fund loss).
- W5-2 (Med, lite): the post-sync and post-rescan save results (in the detached scan
threads) were ignored; both now liteLog on failure. LiteDiagnostics::log is mutex-guarded,
so it's safe from those threads.
- W6-1 (Med): WalletState::clear() didn't reset mining/pool_mining, so a wallet switch could
briefly show the previous wallet's hashrate/blocks. Now reset in clear() (the daemon
restarts on switch, so mining genuinely stops).
- W6-3 (Low): AddressBook::load() cleared entries_ then threw on the first non-object array
element — discarding EVERY contact. It now guards is_object() + per-entry try/catch,
skipping and counting malformed entries.
Build-clean; ctest 1/1. Remaining P2: W6-2 (refresh-staleness badge — needs UI, overlaps
the diagnostics Foundation bundle). See docs/wallet-hardening.md.

- W1-3 (Med): updateWalletIndexForActiveWallet stamped syncedHere in the markOpened block
at bare connect (idHash still empty), letting a freshly-restored wallet skip its needed
rescan. syncedHere is now stamped only once the wallet's identity is verified (idHash
non-empty), so it takes effect at the post-address-refresh index update; lastOpenedEpoch
still records at open.
- Startup guard (the W1-1 launch counterpart): App::init now exists()-checks the recorded
active wallet before the daemon is configured. A non-default active wallet moved/deleted
between sessions falls back to the default wallet.dat with a warning, instead of the
daemon silently auto-creating an empty wallet under the missing name. Runs before the PIN
vault init so the vault is scoped to the wallet actually opened.
Completes P1-B. Remaining P1: W3-3 (sweep opid persistence) deferred for careful
adversarially-reviewed work — re-tracking a stale opid could hang the migration if the op
poller doesn't time out; the existing balance/mined gates already prevent fund loss. See
docs/wallet-hardening.md.
Build-clean; ctest 1/1.

- W1-1 (High): switchToWallet never verified the target wallet file exists before
switching. dragonxd auto-creates a fresh empty wallet for a missing -wallet=<name>, so a
moved/deleted wallet file silently "opened" as a brand-new empty wallet with a zero
balance — looking exactly like fund loss. It now std::filesystem::exists-checks
datadir/<walletFile> before switching (ahead of the daemon-stop prompt) and blocks with a
"not found (moved or deleted?)" warning. Because the check runs regardless of how
switchToWallet is invoked, it also closes W1-4 (the stale switcher-row TOCTOU).
- W1-2 (Med): walletOutputLooksCorrupt matched the generic "Error loading wallet" string,
which dragonxd also prints for DB_TOO_NEW (a newer-version wallet) — so a version mismatch
was offered a -salvagewallet repair that cannot fix it. The generic match is now excluded
when the output also contains "newer version".
Build-clean; ctest 1/1. Remaining P1-B: W1-3 (syncedHere timing) + the startup-path
existence check. See docs/wallet-hardening.md.

Migrate-to-seed (legacy -> mnemonic wallet) moves real funds; three correctness fixes:
- W3-1 (High): beginAdoptSeedWallet swapped a hardcoded datadir/wallet.dat instead of the
ACTIVE wallet file. With a non-default active wallet (e.g. wallet-2.dat) it installed the
swept seed wallet into an unloaded wallet.dat and left the daemon reloading the emptied
legacy wallet — swept funds only recoverable via the seed phrase. Now swaps
datadir + "/" + getActiveWalletFile(), captured on the main thread (switching is blocked
during migration, so no race).
- W3-2 (High): SeedWalletCreator::create() ran remove_all(<config>/seed-migrate)
unconditionally at the start, so a prior migration that swept funds into the temp wallet
but was abandoned/crashed before adopting would have that fund-bearing wallet destroyed.
It now refuses (with a clear message) when DRAGONX/wallet.dat already exists — a completed
migration removes the dir on adopt, so a leftover means an unfinished one.
- W3-4 (Med): switchToWallet blocked switching only while the migration dialog was open;
closing it via "Later" mid-migration dropped the guard. Now also blocks while
getSeedMigrationPending().
Build-clean; ctest 1/1. Remaining P1-A: W3-3 (persist the sweep opid). See
docs/wallet-hardening.md.

P0-B encryption-integrity cluster.
W2-2: the first-run wizard's "encrypt" stored the passphrase only in memory and let the
user into the app immediately, so a quit/crash or a failed daemon connect before the
deferred encryption applied left the wallet unencrypted with NO record encryption was
ever requested — the user believing it was encrypted. A persisted encryption_pending
settings flag is now set the moment encryption is requested (never the passphrase, only
the fact). refreshWalletEncryptionState() reconciles it on every connect: wallet observed
encrypted -> clear the flag; wallet NOT encrypted while the flag is set and no deferred
encryption is pending/in-flight -> a once-per-session "your wallet is NOT encrypted — open
Settings to finish" warning (the flag stays set, so it recurs each launch until resolved).
The passphrase is deliberately never persisted to auto-complete — surfacing it is the
secure choice.
W2-4: lockWallet()'s continuation only handled success — a failed walletlock RPC silently
left the wallet UNLOCKED (an unfulfilled auto-lock). It now logs and warns once (reset on
the next successful lock) so a failing auto-lock is visible instead of leaving the wallet
exposed.
Touches settings.{h,cpp}, app_wizard.cpp, app_security.cpp, app.h. Not unit-testable at
this layer (RPC/connect-driven state). Build-clean; ctest 1/1. See docs/wallet-hardening.md.

The lite create/open/restore requests carried a passphrase field that the UI collected
(a labeled, masked "passphrase" input) but the backend initialize* calls never used —
so a user could believe their lite wallet was passphrase-protected at creation when it
did nothing. It now has a real meaning, wired in LiteWalletController:
- create / restore -> encryptWallet(passphrase): the backend encrypts + locks + saves
the brand-new wallet.
- open -> unlockWallet(passphrase), but only when encryptionStatus() reports the existing
wallet is actually encrypted + locked (no spurious unlock on an unencrypted wallet).
encryptWallet/unlockWallet take their own copy of the passphrase and wipe it; the
request copy is still wiped as before. A post-create encrypt failure is liteLog'd (the
wallet still exists, so the create is not failed).
Six existing lite-controller tests carried an incidental "hunter2" create passphrase from
when the field was dead; removed (they exercise non-encryption flows and want an
unencrypted wallet), and added testLiteWalletControllerCreateEncryptsWithPassphrase to
prove the new behavior. Completes the wallet-hardening P0-A cluster (7/7). ctest 1/1.

The seed-phrase "Save" already wrote the file 0600 and zeroed the in-memory buffer, but
the success message was a bare "Saved to <path>" — no hint that it's a permanent
UNENCRYPTED copy of the seed at a predictable location. The message now reads
"Saved an UNENCRYPTED seed file — move it to secure offline storage and delete this
copy: <path>". English source updated; the res/lang back-fill of this changed key is
deferred to the batch i18n pass.
Also documents W5-3 (lite create-time passphrase) as a product decision rather than a
speculative change: the field is already wiped on every path (minimal security risk),
but the labeled masked "passphrase" input at lite create/open/restore is never consumed
by the backend — so either remove the dead UI or wire it into the lite encrypt flow.
Finishes the actionable part of the wallet-hardening P0-A cluster (docs/wallet-hardening.md).

The wallet-hardening memzero cluster. Uses the file's established sodium_memzero
pattern (matching the existing lambda-capture scrub at app_network.cpp:2885 and the JSON
scrub at :4025) rather than a new type, since importPrivateKey/sweepPrivateKey are
fund-moving code.
- W4-1 importPrivateKey / sweepPrivateKey: the spending/viewing key was copied ≥3×
(calling frame -> worker-lambda capture -> JSON params) and never scrubbed. Now zeroed
on all paths: the calling-frame copy after the worker post, the lambda's captured copy
(lambda made mutable, zeroed once the request is sent), and the request params copy.
- W4-3 exportAllKeys / backupWallet: the concatenated all-keys buffer is now zeroed after
the consumer uses it, and the backup is written via
Platform::writeFileAtomically(..., restrictPermissions=true) — atomic and owner-only
(0600) — instead of a umask-default std::ofstream that left it world-readable.
- W2-3 decrypt-wallet passphrase: std::move-captured into the worker lambda (no plaintext
copy left in the calling frame) and sodium_memzero'd right after unlockWallet, its only
use.
Not unit-testable (no observable RPC effect — the key value sent to the daemon is
unchanged; only post-use memory zeroing is added). Build-clean; ctest 1/1. See
docs/wallet-hardening.md.

Removing wallet encryption z_exportwallet'd every private key in cleartext to
<datadir>/obsidiandecryptexport<ts>, re-imported it, and never deleted it — leaving a
full plaintext dump of every key on disk permanently. The decrypt flow now scrubs
(best-effort in-place zero-overwrite) and removes that file as soon as the
z_importwallet attempt resolves, on both the success and failure paths. Recovery, if
ever needed, remains the encrypted backup (wallet.dat.encrypted.bak), never this file.
Second fix in the wallet-hardening P0-A cluster (docs/wallet-hardening.md). Not
unit-testable (fs I/O in a deep worker lambda); build-clean, ctest 1/1.

The RPC console echoed and stored typed commands verbatim, so `walletpassphrase
<secret>`, `z_importkey <key>`, `encryptwallet <pass>` etc. left the secret in the
visible log AND the 100-entry recall history (copyable). Adds a pure, unit-testable
RedactConsoleCommand()/ConsoleCommandCarriesSecret() (allowlist of 13 secret-bearing
first-tokens) in console_tab_helpers; submitConsoleCommand() now echoes and stores
`> walletpassphrase ****` while still executing the real command unredacted. Bare
secret commands and non-secret commands pass through unchanged.
Output-secret commands (dumpprivkey / z_exportkey / z_exportmnemonic) — whose secret is
in the RESULT — are a separate redaction concern, tracked as a follow-up.
First fix in the wallet-hardening P0-A cluster (see docs/wallet-hardening.md). New
testConsoleSecretRedaction (11 assertions); ctest 1/1.
