"Keep in each address" posted one task that called z_mergetoaddress for
every batch of every address back to back; each call is a whole-wallet
scan under cs_main, and the daemon runs the ops one at a time anyway.
It is now an App-owned services::ConsolidationRun:
- one RPC at a time; the next merge only after the previous batch left the
queue and a gap as long as the last call took (2-120 s);
- pauses while the node syncs, the wallet is locked, a send of ours is in
progress, or another wallet scan is running;
- failures classified: nothing that may have queued is ever resent; a
breaker stops after 3 dead addresses or 3 failed ops in a row;
- each merge is charged to the scan budget; one re-read and one forced
balance at the end;
- it keeps running when the dialog closes: a status-bar chip, a run view
with progress, the wait reason and a Stop button.
The "Into one" merge can no longer be confirmed twice while its call is
in flight. fake_dragonxd gains FAKE_SCAN_SECS, FAKE_MERGE_SERIAL and
FAKE_MERGE_FAIL.

A z_sendmany submit set off a burst of wallet scans before anything had
changed. Ops now re-read the wallet when they finish, by who started them:
the user's sends and dialog ops get a re-read plus one forced balance once
none of their ops is pending; client auto-shield re-reads unforced; chat
messages and splits refresh only the chat note view. A pending send no
longer forces scans, and chat txids no longer enter the tracked-send set.
Chat ingest skips stored messages before decrypting and caches
undecryptable ones per identity. The inbox scan runs when getwalletinfo's
txcount changed (a cheap probe, at most 2% duty) or a cost-scaled safety
net is due; the note-buffer scan runs on need. Both are admitted by the
scan budget, on a steady clock. The chat payer comes from a per-address
view of verified notes, with debits re-applied across in-flight scans;
splits are sized to one payer and only when they can refill the buffer.

- Connect gate: after the node starts answering, wallet scans wait until the
lock state is known and the node knows its tip (or the wallet has fewer
than 500 transactions), at most 20 s. A node already behind latches the
sync profile from the connect's getinfo. Meanwhile a list-only pass keeps
the address list and the cached history up, and the session's first
balance and per-address balances are read once even while catching up,
so the wallet shows its last-synced values instead of 0.
- Background: minimized, hidden, or covered without focus (3 s debounce,
any input cancels) polls only the chain state every 15 s. Wallet scans,
the mining poll, price, nudges and auto-lock interaction tracking pause;
auto-lock now fires while minimized. Leaving a held profile marks every
timer due again.
- Tab entry marks the timers due instead of forcing scans; a stale list or
a never-loaded history still loads on entry.
- The scan entry points own the hard gates, failed enumerations keep the
previous lists behind a retry hold, and failed balance calls never
overwrite known balances with 0.

The balance, address scan, history and probe were throttled one by one at
10% each, which added up to 30-40% of dragonxd's cs_main with all of them
due. services::WalletScanGovernor runs one wallet scan at a time across
both RPC lanes and keeps one shared quiet clock at 15% of wall-clock (cut
when the node is behind). Waiters are served first in, first out, with a
head start for what the page shows and a starvation floor of max(30 s
visible / 900 s hidden, 15x the stream's cost). Explicit work (a dirty
set, the user's send, a first load) is never refused but is charged.
Routine scans run only when the tip, the mempool size (getmempoolinfo:
no cs_main) or a wallet-mutation epoch changed since their last good scan,
or a safety sweep is due. Pages that don't show the balance poll it at
most every max(10 min, 50x its cost) (2 min with client-side auto-shield);
coming back into view with an old value fetches it at once. The staleness
badge counts from the last poll that confirmed nothing changed, and hides
while the budget holds the balance within its guarantee.

Every block re-ran z_listreceivedbyaddress for every z-address (O(wallet)
each, under cs_main) and a whole-wallet z_listsentbyaddress. On a 40-address
wallet that was ~80% of wall-clock. The history now advances in passes:
- an address is rescanned when it is stale by a number of blocks scaled to
its measured cost (8 to 500), never-scanned and hinted addresses first
(a hint: z_listunspent shows a note the history doesn't);
- z_listsentbyaddress covers only the blocks since the last good sweep
(+100 reorg margin); the whole-wallet sweep runs once per connect, with
a 10 min / 1 h / 6 h backoff after real failures;
- listtransactions pages are sized from last time, and an unchanged tip
reuses the transparent rows;
- found-but-unenriched txids carry over as a backlog; only -5 is a
definitive "not ours" for z_viewtransaction;
- between blocks, a cheap recent poll plus a one-address probe.
Duty model for a 40-address wallet at 10 s per scan: ~9% instead of ~80%.

The Core poll ran z_gettotalbalance twice (minconf 0 and 1), each a whole-
wallet scan under dragonxd's cs_main. The spendable (minconf=1) call now
runs only after the display call succeeded, and only when something is
unconfirmed or pending or the exact total moved: about 95% of polls make
one scan instead of two. A forced post-send balance can no longer be lost
to a refused enqueue, and pending-send debits aren't re-applied each tick.
z_getoperationstatus is filtered to our opids with its real argument form
([[id,...]]; the old ["id"] was rejected), falling back to the unfiltered
call if a daemon refuses the filter. The Shield/Merge dialog's own polls
are filtered and session-guarded too, and finally reach Done; the dead
RPCClient wrappers are deleted.
The Merge/Consolidate scope scan becomes a tested state machine: one scan
at a time, failures latch behind a Retry button, only "node not ready"
retries by itself (10/30/60 s, at most 3), Lite never scans. Its 120 s
calls are maintenance calls: every main-thread disconnect aborts one in
flight first, so a lifecycle action no longer freezes the UI behind it.
An aborted merge that was already sent says it may still go through.

Lite opens an encrypted wallet locked, but the model saying so arrives
a moment later. The first seed export therefore failed with "locked"
and disabled chat for good, so encrypted Lite wallets never got chat.
- While the wallet is locked, a failure recorded before the lock was
seen is cleared, so provisioning runs again after the unlock (like
lockLiteWallet()). Nothing is retried while locked: that branch
returns before any RPC or backend call.
- Lite waits for the first model's lock state before exporting the
seed.

- The refresh-model mapper marks the encryption state known when the
backend reports it. The wallet tabs wait for that, so every Lite
launch sat behind the loading overlay until the 15 s "assume
unencrypted" fallback.
- Each 2 s refresh skips the backend's `info` (a fresh TLS connection
and GetLightdInfo, only a fallback for the chat tip, which the
explicit height call already provides) and the gateway's `height`
(replaced by that explicit call, which runs after the sync commands
so it sees the newest block).

checkIdleMining ran every frame: an X11 idle query and, with GPU-aware
idle detection, an nvidia-smi launch on the UI thread per frame.
- The check runs once a second, since its decisions work on a seconds
scale (the idle delay is tens of seconds or more). A miner it started
or scaled up still yields on the first frame that sees the user back:
that path skips the gate, because frames can be seconds apart while
the app idles.
- The GPU is probed only when input is idle and the result can change
a decision, at most every 5 s, with hysteresis (busy at 10%+, clear
below 5%) so a GPU hovering near 10% can't keep restarting the miner.
- Thread scaling returns early when no miner is running or a toggle is
in flight.

The Market tab calls the exchange-list, price-history and candle
fetches every frame, so a failed fetch (offline, rate-limited, a
venue's API down) was retried on the very next frame, ~20 requests a
second.
- util::FetchBackoff: 30 s doubling to a 10 min cap, +/-20% jitter.
The exchange list, the price history (a partial result counts as a
failure) and the per-pair candles each back off on failure.
- Candle backoff is per pair. Switching to another pair still loads at
once, a failed refresh keeps the on-screen pair's last candles, and
switching back to a pair that is backing off shows the aggregate
chart rather than the previous pair's candles.
- The Market tab's refresh button retries at once (at most every 5 s).
A price fetch (60 s timer, no backoff) that succeeds after failing
means the network is back, so it lifts all three backoffs.
- A partial price history no longer marks the chart loaded: with no
fetch timestamp, the 30-minute reload gate measured system uptime
and blocked retries for the first 30 minutes after boot.
- The exchange list goes through httpGetString (TLS verified, size
capped) with short timeouts (5 s connect, 12 s total, as it runs on
the shared RPC worker) instead of its own curl code. A failed fetch
is retried; it used to be tried only once per session.

- Explorer: the tip check runs every frame the Explorer tab is open,
and it read both tip rows and rewrote them each time (two autocommit
WAL writes per frame). A steady tip is now kept in memory and skips
SQLite. A new tip writes both rows in one savepoint, so a crash
between them can't pair a new height with the old hash. A test
checks that 100 steady checks write nothing.
- Console: while the daemon was in the Error state the Console tab
added its error line on every poll, i.e. every frame, re-laying out
the whole buffer each time. It prints once per error now: on entering
Error, when the message changes, or after another crash
(EmbeddedDaemon::getUnexpectedExitCount(), never reset). setState
writes the message before the state, so a reader that sees Error sees
that error's message. The stray " ===" suffix is gone.
- perf.log: the profiler appended a block every 300 frames on every
run and never rotated the file (tens of MB a day for a wallet left
open). It is now off unless the app starts with DRAGONX_PERFLOG=1;
otherwise its zone hooks are near no-ops.

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.

A send stays tracked until z_viewtransaction shows an outgoing output.
Shields, merges/consolidations and chat note splits pay only the wallet
itself, so they never showed one. They stayed tracked for the whole
session and forced a full history refresh past the scan throttle on
every tab.
- A tracked send whose view has no outgoing output is retired once it
is mined (1+ confirmations) or conflicted.
- Tracked sends are enriched first, and reaching the per-cycle view cap
no longer ends the loop, so the cap can't starve them.
- Backstop: a tracked send still unsettled 20 blocks after it was added
(expired, dropped from the mempool) stops being tracked.
- Tracked sends are cleared on disconnect: they belong to that
connection's wallet.

Connected-but-locked fell through to tryConnect() on every Core tick
while the lock screen sat idle: new sockets, getinfo and getwalletinfo,
a forced address scan, a CoinGecko fetch and a wallet-index rewrite.
Its wallet scans also held cs_main ahead of the user's
walletpassphrase.
- While locked, poll chain state only (refreshCoreData without the
balance). That keeps the sync height current and the 3-strike
lost-connection check armed, so a node that exits while locked is
still restarted. Pool mining keeps the lock screen down, so while it
runs the throttled balance, the peers and the lock state (for an
unlock done in the Console tab) keep refreshing too.
- Warmup polls count refused/reset connections toward the
lost-connection check, so a node that died during warmup is
restarted instead of leaving the loading or lock screen over it.
- The wallet salvage/degraded detectors run at connect and again when
warmup ends: for encrypted wallets they relied on the repeated
tryConnect.
- restartDaemonAfterEncryption records the wallet as encrypted and
locked itself (the wizard's deferred path never did), and marks the
main client disconnected so the reconnect path picks up the restarted
node, aborting any in-flight call first.

While theme effects were on (the default) the main loop drew every
frame it could. Where vsync is off (offscreen, some drivers, remote
sessions) an idle wallet spun at ~3,000 fps, 88% of a core; with vsync
it still drew every refresh. Frames are now paced by what needs them:
- full rate while there is input, a held key, a window appearing or
settling, a smooth scroll or the UI sweep;
- ambient (30 fps focused, 10 fps unfocused) for theme effects, the
acrylic backdrop, avatar animations and notifications;
- progress (10 fps focused, 4 fps unfocused) for UI that changes
without input. The updater and bootstrap downloads, console
commands, lite-wallet operations, seed migration, the loading
overlay and the lock-screen countdowns ask for it with
material::RequestProgressFrame();
- otherwise idle, as before: wait for events, with a housekeeping wake
every 2 s (5 s unfocused).
A software frame cap (0.9x the display refresh) bounds the loop where
vsync is off, and hidden, occluded or minimized windows get no ambient
frames. Reduce Motion freezes the theme-effect clock
(ThemeEffects::setMotionFrozen), so it needs no ambient frames either.
The displayed-balance roll goes through one clamped StepDisplayLerp
(balance_lerp.h). An idle-length frame pushed dt*speed past 1, so the
roll overshot, and under Reduce Motion's speed of 999 it diverged to
inf/NaN. The classic layout had its own copy of the old code.
Idle CPU, Lite build, offscreen (no vsync): 88% -> 5% of a core with
effects on, and 91% -> 3% with effects saved off (with the previous
commit).

Low-spec mode, theme effects, blur, UI and noise opacity and the
console scanline reached the live effects state only once the Settings
page or the first-run wizard was opened. "Effects off" and low-spec
therefore reverted at every launch, and the animated defaults kept the
main loop busy (91% of a core on an idle Lite wallet whose effects were
saved off).
- App::applyVisualSettings(): one low-spec-aware path from the saved
prefs to the effects state, used at startup (after the skin, since
setActiveSkin reloads the effect config), by the low-spec hotkey, the
wizard and the Settings page.
- Low-spec stays a runtime-only override. The Settings page shows the
overrides but persists the real prefs from its snapshot, and opening
it under low-spec no longer turns theme effects and blur back on.
Unticking a low-spec in the wizard that was loaded rather than ticked
there now restores the saved prefs.
- Theme effects on/off always pairs with reduced transparency (the
rainbow, shimmer and glare layers), as at startup and in the hotkeys.
- kAcrylicMaxBlur moves to imgui_acrylic.h, so startup clamps blur
values saved in the old 0-4 range the way the slider does.

Logic timers advanced by io.DeltaTime, which update() clamps to 0.25 s
so animations don't jump after a pause. That matched real time only
while the main loop rendered continuously: with frames seconds apart, a
timer fed the clamped delta runs up to 8x slow. Affected: the refresh
scheduler, the seed-migration poll, the chat fast scan, the encryption
check, the loading and shutdown timers, the lock-screen countdowns, the
Settings debug gate and the mining benchmark.
- App::logicDeltaTime(): steady-clock seconds since the previous
update(), capped at 6 s so a sleep/resume fires each timer once
instead of replaying the gap. Visual interpolation keeps the clamped
io.DeltaTime.
- The refresh timers tick before the RPC results are drained, so a
hold that a callback arms (the connect-retry backoff) starts fresh
instead of being charged the gap before it existed.
- The shutdown timer is measured from shutdown_start_time_:
beginShutdown runs from SDL event handling, so an accumulated delta
would count the idle gap before the close request.
- The lock-screen error and lockout countdowns subtract only the time
since they were armed: a failed unlock arms them from an RPC result,
which can land on the frame that ends an idle gap.

This branch's only commit (424954f) is already on dev as an identical patch
(fae8b20, merged in 1151141; git cherry reports it as equivalent). A normal
merge conflicts only where dev has since moved past it: the NotoSansCJK
subset was rebuilt again as a superset that still contains the FAQ glyphs,
and app.cpp and node_status_banner.h changed later. This merge records the
branch as integrated and keeps dev's content unchanged.

Every fix on this branch already reached dev through the port in bcee4bf
("apply audit remediations to dev"), adapted to dev's code and in several
places hardened further (0600-at-open xmrig config, strict 127.0.0.0/8
loopback check, metadata cap centralised in httpGetString). F14-1 and F8-2
were fixed independently on dev. All 10 conflicting files therefore resolve
to dev's side, which drops nothing.
The one thing dev lacked is the F14-1 regression test: a quoted empty
console argument ("") must be kept rather than shifting later positional
RPC params. This merge brings that test in.

Users who keep funds apart under different labelled addresses can now
shed notes (smaller wallet, faster scans/witness rebuilds) without the
funds being merged into a single address.
- Merge/Consolidate dialog: "Where should the funds go?" - Into one
address (unchanged) or Keep in each address. The latter lists shielded
addresses with 2+ spendable notes (label, note count, amount;
too-small ones disabled) and merges each address's notes back into
that address with z_mergetoaddress [addr] addr. Addresses with more
notes than the batch size get several batches (the daemon locks a
batch's notes before returning, so calls take disjoint notes); the
dialog suggests a second run after those confirm. Per-address
progress; ops keep running if the dialog is closed. The Consolidate
(wallet-size) preset opens in this mode; Merge keeps "Into one".
Shielded only: a transparent address can't take a merge's output.
- services/note_consolidation: groupSpendableNotes, worthConsolidating,
estimateBatches, consolidateInPlace (pure; driven by a merge-call
function), with unit tests against a stand-in following dragonxd's
rules.
- fake_dragonxd: optional note wallet (FAKE_WALLET_NOTES,
FAKE_MERGE_SECS) with z_mergetoaddress and its operations.
- i18n: 17 new keys in all 8 languages; CJK subset rebuilt.
- UI sweep: modal-consolidate target.

Follow-up to 5246898. A transparent address only ever receives mining
rewards on DragonX (private chain), so:
- One explainer ("Receives solo-mining rewards only - the network rejects
payments to it. Rewards are shielded automatically once they mature.")
on the Overview row hover, the Receive picker hover, the Receive card
and the Validate Address result (now typed "Mining address
(transparent)").
- Receive: a selected mining address shows the explainer and a "Use a
shielded address" button (creates one if none exists) instead of the
payment request, and a "Not for payments" panel instead of a QR code.
The default selection prefers a shielded address; the "All" filter
hides empty mining addresses unless solo mining or marked as a mining
address; the filter reads All / Shielded / Mining.
- Request Payment: no transparent section, never prefilled with one.
- Overview: no "Mining - Mining" tag on a marked transparent row.
- FAQ: address answers rewritten; the send and memo answers no longer
imply you can pay a transparent address. All 8 languages.
i18n: 4 new keys, 6 FAQ answers updated in place, 2 dead keys removed,
CJK subset rebuilt. UI sweep: receive-mining-address and
modal-validate-mining targets.

DragonX is a private chain (-ac_private=1): consensus rejects any
non-coinbase output to a transparent address, so a t-address can only
ever receive mining rewards, and its coins can only move to a shielded
address. The wallet treated them like ordinary recipients.
Block paying one:
- Send: a transparent recipient shows "Mining address - can't be paid"
and disables Review Send (tooltip explains; ask for a zs... address).
Typing, paste, contacts and payment URIs all go through this field.
- Overview drag-to-transfer: a mining-address row is never a transfer
target (it only reorders).
- Pool payout must be shielded (pools pay with ordinary transactions):
field tooltip, disabled Start button and the start check say why.
- isValidRecipientAddress() is now shielded-only; new isDragonXAddress()
and classifyRecipient() (Shielded / MiningOnly / Invalid).
Call them mining addresses:
- Overview: "Mining rewards" card (amber "Not yet shielded" when there
is a balance; hover explains; click opens the Shield dialog), "New
mining address" button with a tooltip, rows typed "Mining".
- QR / label dialogs, portfolio filter, contact badge ("Mining only"),
Receive notifications.
i18n: 17 new keys in all 8 languages, 12 dead keys removed, CJK subset
rebuilt. Tests: recipient classification, translation completeness.
UI sweep: new "send-mining-recipient" target.

S12 - our node across sessions:
- The node the wallet launches is recorded in <datadir>/obsidiandragon-
dragonxd.pid (pid + process start time + exe). A later session that
finds it still running (after "Leave running" / keep_daemon_running)
stops it gracefully on quit and waits for that exact process (no time
limit, "Leave running" offered); never signals or kills it. A reused
pid or a reboot never matches; stale records are deleted.
- stop_external_daemon is now honoured when this session only connected
(no controller); it was ignored.
S13 - the node's own log on every platform:
- No -printtoconsole on Linux/macOS: the node writes its timestamped
debug.log (which outlives the GUI) and we tail it next to the stderr
pipe. Tail path from the datadir or the isolated override (Windows had
%APPDATA% hard-coded, wrong for migrate-to-seed starts).
- After the node shrinks debug.log at startup, resume at this run's
banner instead of re-reading the old run's tail.
- A node we didn't launch (left running, or found running) feeds the
busy tracker from its debug.log, tied to the live process (our record,
or POSIX hushd.pid) and only from lines it wrote. A GUI attaching to a
node mid-rebuild now says "Node busy: rebuilding note witnesses" and
asks before stopping it.
- A start that only finds a running node no longer resets the tracker;
a found busy node shows the busy overlay at once.
S14: launch our node with -rpcthreads=16 unless DRAGONX.conf sets it.

Every operation that stops the node (restart, rescan, repair, delete
chain data, reinstall, bootstrap, wallet switch/adopt/restore/rebuild,
wizard restart, encrypt, decrypt) now:
- refuses up front while the node is rebuilding witnesses or has not
answered for 30s, with a "try again when it's done" warning, and sends
no stop;
- goes ahead only once the node's PROCESS has exited, not its RPC port.
A stop that doesn't finish within 120s cancels the operation (warning;
a cancelled rescan/repair disarms its flags); nothing is started over
the old node, chain data isn't deleted, wallet.dat isn't swapped.
Specifics:
- stopDaemonForWalletSwitch() no longer reports "stopped" when the app
is quitting (adopt could swap wallet.dat under a live node).
- Decrypt waited a fixed 3s after "stop" before renaming wallet.dat; it
now waits for the process to exit, and scrubs the key export if not.
- Bootstrap waits for the process before cleanChainData and stops the
node through the stop routine instead of the shared RPC client.
- StopScope::Connected lets switch/reinstall/decrypt stop an adopted or
external node through the same never-kill routine.
- A bounded stop that can't reach the node (a foreign node refusing our
credentials) gives up after 5s instead of 120s.
- macOS: isDaemonProcessRunning() checks processes (libproc), not the
RPC port.
- rpcBusyWhileAlive() also reads the busy gate: since the gate, the
first timeout usually lands on another lane and the 30s clock never
started (also weakened the quit prompt for a silent rebuild).
- Notifications render during the first-run wizard.

A node rebuilding note witnesses for an hour was shown as "Starting
DragonX node... Launching dragonxd", which invited closing it.
- Overlay, a new NodeBusy banner and the status bar now say what the node
is doing (rebuilding witnesses / catching up on blocks / up but not
answering), with the elapsed time and Phase-1 block progress. A rebuild
during startup warm-up replaces the stale "-28 Activating best chain"
text, and the overlay re-applies its text once a second instead of only
on a connect attempt (30s apart while the node is busy).
- Quit prompt: elapsed time, "Keep node running & quit" is the default,
"Stop anyway & quit" becomes "Stop node & wait" (it no longer kills).
- A reinstall skipped because the node is still running now notifies.
- Status bar: don't repeat the warm-up status on the right, and don't
print "Connected" there in non-English locales.
- i18n: 31 new keys in all 8 languages; 10 dead force-quit/old-modal keys
removed; CJK subset rebuilt for the new glyphs.
- Tests: chooseDaemonStatus, NodeBusy banner priority, and every new key
present in all 8 JSONs with matching printf conversions.

dragonxd serves RPC with 8 workers and a 16-deep queue. While a witness
rebuild holds cs_main, every request needing it waits, and a request the
client gave up on keeps its slot. The GUI kept polling and re-probing
until all 24 slots were its own abandoned requests (even stop was then
refused), treated the busy node as lost (tearing down the wallet state),
and retried connect at frame rate on some pages.
Busy gate (src/rpc/rpc_busy_gate.h), enforced in RPCClient::performCall
for the shared rpc_ / fast_rpc_:
- the first reply timeout or queue-full refusal marks the node busy;
from then on nothing needing cs_main is sent (calls fail at once with
the new RpcFailureKind::Deferred). stop, help and getrescaninfo are
lock-free in dragonxd and always go through
- one canary getinfo with no client timeout waits on its own client and
thread; its answer clears the gate and triggers an immediate refresh
(queue-full: retried after 2..30 s; no answer: back to normal handling)
- the timer dispatch skips Core/Tx/Addresses/Peers/chat/mining/opid and
connect attempts while busy
- the 3-strike teardown counts only failures that put the connection in
doubt, never busy ones; no balance scans follow a busy chain-info call
Reconnect storm: retries were armed with setTimer(Core, kCoreDefault - 1),
i.e. "4 s elapsed", which against Overview's 2 s interval meant every
frame. RefreshScheduler::deferFor() is an absolute hold, and
ConnectRetryBackoff picks the delay by failure kind (not listening
1/2/5 s, queue full 2..30 s, busy 30 s, else 4 s).
Measured against the fake daemon: abandoned requests during a rebuild
went from ~24 (every slot) to at most 2, with no teardown and recovery
when the rebuild ends; a saturated queue sees about one canary per
back-off step instead of ~190 requests/s.

The one-time "back up your seed phrase" nudge only stopped probing on a
success or the exact "not derived from a mnemonic" error. Any other
answer re-armed it for the next frame, so a daemon without the RPC
("Method not found", e.g. the older bundled binary) was sent
z_exportmnemonic at frame rate: ~2,300 requests/s against a test node.
Chat identity setup re-posted its fetch on the next frame after a
transient failure in the same way.
An inconclusive nudge probe now waits 5 minutes before the next; a
transient identity-fetch failure waits 10 seconds.

- getrescaninfo takes no lock in dragonxd (it only reads wallet fields),
so the stub no longer holds it behind cs_main. Holding it there made
the GUI's rescan-progress poll look like an abandoned request every
30 s during a simulated rebuild.
- a `methods` event lists the 10 most-requested JSON-RPC methods with
counts (alongside `stats`, and at exit): what the GUI is polling.

Quitting during a witness rebuild is supposed to ask before stopping the
node, because a stop throws the rebuild away and a killed node replays
and redoes it. The guard almost never fired:
- it returned false for any daemon >= v1.3.0, on the false premise that
v1.3.0 checkpoints a rebuild (it does not; nothing survives a kill)
- it read a 16 KB debug.log tail and compared the last progress line with
the newest line, so any unrelated line during the rebuild's silent
second phase turned it off; and on POSIX that file is stale
- daemon_version, which the bypass needed, is zeroed when a busy node
drops the connection
Now a DaemonBusyTracker (src/daemon/daemon_busy_detect.h, pure) follows
dragonxd's own markers in order: rebuilding (Phase-1 / legacy markers,
ended by the completion line, an abort line or the next UpdateTip) and
replaying (Activating best chain ... Done Loading), reset by a new banner
or "Shutdown: done". It is fed from the owned output on the UI thread,
including the backlog skipped after a restore. The quit guard prompts
when the quit would stop the node and it is rebuilding, or has been
alive but only timing out / refusing as busy for >= 30 s. A replay alone
never prompts: stopping it is safe. The stop loop uses the same signal
to never offer Kill during a rebuild.
Also:
- daemon output offsets are absolute, so a reader that falls behind a
trim of the 1 MB buffer no longer skips new output (which could hide a
start or end marker)
- a quit deferred while minimized restores and raises the window, and
the wizard renders the prompt, so it is never waiting unseen
Verified live with the fake daemon: quitting mid-rebuild now shows the
prompt for a v1.3.0 node and leaves the node alone; a silent busy node
prompts after 30 s.

Holds cs_main like a witness rebuild but logs no rebuild markers: a node
that is busy while its output says nothing (an external node, or a
rebuild path that prints no progress), for exercising the GUI's
"busy but alive" handling.

Closing the wallet sent "stop" at most twice, gated on a getinfo probe
that needs the daemon's cs_main, then killed the node after 20 s (Windows)
or 30 s (POSIX) whether or not stop had arrived. A node busy with an
hour-long witness rebuild therefore never got stop, was killed mid-
rebuild, and replayed everything since its last flush on every start.
Delivery (src/daemon/stop_delivery.h, RPCClient::open/trySendStop):
- stop goes over a dedicated client with no probe, so it never waits on
rpc_'s lock or a cs_main-bound getinfo
- every attempt is classified, and StopDeliveryPolicy decides the next:
Accepted / 503 = delivered; Queued (reply timeout) is resent at most
every 30 s; QueueFull / not listening are retried every 1.5 s; a
refusal after we were heard means the node is shutting down; a 401 on
our own node tries the next credential source
- POSIX: a group SIGTERM goes out as soon as an attempt fails, which
bypasses the HTTP queue entirely
Waiting (DaemonController::executeDaemonStop, pure, virtual-clock
tested):
- never kills on its own. Quitting waits as long as the node needs; the
shutdown screen offers "Close wallet — leave node running" after 3 s,
and "Kill node (unsafe)" (confirmed) only once stop was delivered and
the node showed no CPU/I-O progress for ~10 min outside a rebuild
- other callers (restart, rescan, reinstall, switch, ...) wait up to
120 s, let go once the app starts quitting, and keep watching a node
that is still running; wallet switch refuses to go ahead then
- EmbeddedDaemon gains stop-session primitives (beginStop,
pollOwnedProcess, signalGracefulStop, forceKillOwnedProcess,
ownedResourceUsage over the Linux process group / Windows handle,
endStop) and only one stop session runs at a time
- the Force Quit button and its stall heuristic are gone; "Leave
running" aborts a pending stop attempt and closes at once
Verified against the fake daemon with the real GUI: closing mid-rebuild
now delivers stop (or SIGTERM 2 ms after a queue-full refusal) and the
node exits cleanly after its rebuild, where it was SIGKILLed before. The
shutdown screen, its "Leave running" button and the idle Kill offer
(after ~11 min) were checked by screenshot. New strings are English-
only for now.

Scripted runs nobody needs to watch can run the GUI without a window:
OpenGL still loads, and connecting and shutting down behave as usual.

On Windows, stop() with no live process of its own looked up the first
"dragonxd.exe" by name and TerminateProcess'd it after the grace period:
an old node still shutting down (how an in-progress shutdown was killed),
a node on another datadir, or the user's main node. It was reached on a
lock-gated close, for an external node, after the tracked process had
exited, and from ~EmbeddedDaemon's stop(3000).
- Windows stop(): drop the by-name branch; with no tracked process it
logs and returns. findProcessByName is detection only.
- ~EmbeddedDaemon no longer calls stop(); it stops watching and releases
its handles. stop() returns whether the process exited on its own.
- SeedWalletCreator never sent its isolated node an RPC stop, so on
Windows that node was always force-killed holding the wallet.dat it
had just created, and the stack object's destructor could then kill
the main node by name. It now stops the node over the node's own RPC
on every path. A node that still had to be force-killed fails the
creation (seed wiped; nothing has been swept into it yet), so an
uncleanly closed wallet is never adopted.
- Reinstall waited only for the RPC port, which closes long before the
process exits (locked exe on Windows, held datadir lock everywhere).
It now waits for the process to exit and otherwise aborts without
touching the binaries or starting a second node.
- Linux isDaemonProcessRunning also matches /proc/<pid>/exe, so a node
whose main thread is already renamed "hush-shutoff" (still holding the
datadir lock) counts as running.
Tests: a Windows real-process test (a fake dragonxd.exe on an isolated
datadir survives stop() and the destructor), a POSIX test that the
destructor leaves the process running, and the pure identity rule.
scripts/test-windows.sh passes the stub path to the Windows suite.

Every caller guessed what went wrong from what(): "Timeout" meant busy,
"401" meant auth, and warmup was code -28 or one of six substrings. A
non-JSON HTTP 500 lost its body, so "Work queue depth exceeded" read as a
bare "HTTP 500", and libcurl reports connect- and reply-phase timeouts
with the same code.
New header-only src/rpc/rpc_failure.h:
- RpcFailureKind (NotListening, ConnectTimeout, ReplyTimeout, QueueFull,
ShuttingDown, Unhandled, Auth, Warmup, AppError, Aborted, Other) and a
pure classifyRpcFailure(curl code, request-sent, HTTP status, JSON-RPC
code, plain-text body)
- formatHttpError keeps a short, printable plain-text body
- RpcError (moved here) stays "the daemon answered with a JSON-RPC
error". The new RpcTransportError means "no JSON-RPC answer": curl
failures and HTTP-layer refusals (401, 503, queue full, unhandled).
Keeping them separate matters: callers catch RpcError to mean "the
daemon said no" (chat identity's no-mnemonic fallback, seed export),
so a timeout must not be one. They now treat a queue-full 500 as
transient rather than as "no".
RPCClient:
- performCall tells the two timeouts apart with CURLINFO_REQUEST_SIZE
(0 = never reached the daemon; reset on every transfer, checked on
libcurl 7.81), and callRaw now shares performCall and the HTTP-failure
path.
- connect() decides warmup by the -28 code only, so a plain-text body
saying "Loading" can't pass for warmup, and records
getLastConnectFailureKind().
- "Connection failed" names the kind and is logged once, then every
100th repeat (one incident logged it 60k times).
- secret-bearing calls never echo a response body.
tryConnect's "401"/"Timeout" checks now use the kind, and
CoreRefreshResult carries blockchainErrKind/balanceErrKind for the busy
handling to come.

POSIX stop() set should_stop_, which made the monitor thread return
without reaping the child, and then polled the state-based isRunning(),
which stays true while the state is Stopping. So every Linux/macOS stop
waited out its whole grace period, sent SIGTERM, waited 10 s more and
SIGKILLed, even when the node had exited seconds earlier. Closing the GUI
with an idle node took ~30 s; a node still flushing at 30 s was killed.
- stop() joins the monitor first, then polls waitpid(pid, WNOHANG) on
a cached pid, so it is the only reaper and sees the exit at once.
- markStopRequested() (set by App::stopEmbeddedDaemon before the RPC
stop, and by stop() itself; cleared by start()) makes an exit that
lands before stop() runs a clean stop instead of a crash, on POSIX
and in the Windows monitor. crash_count_ drives auto-restart, and a
crash recorded before the request keeps its count.
- The SIGTERM -> SIGKILL escalation stays for now, but only fires for
a daemon that has really not exited. Replacing it with a wait policy
and an explicit user choice is follow-up work.
Verified against the fake daemon: an idle node that exits 3.4 s after
stop used to be SIGTERMed at +20 s and SIGKILLed at +30 s (GUI closed
in 30.6 s); it is now reaped as "exited cleanly" ~50 ms after it exits
(GUI closes in 4.0 s). New POSIX tests cover the clean exit, the early
requested exit and a graceful SIGTERM, each time-bounded so the old
code fails fast.

A Lite-configured tree builds ObsidianDragonLite and has no embedded
daemon, so any bin/ObsidianDragon left in it is a stale full-node binary
that the harness would otherwise run silently. Point --build-dir at a
full-node tree instead.

scripts/test-windows.sh cross-compiles ObsidianDragonTests.exe (and the
fake_dragonxd stub) with mingw into build/windows-tests, reusing the
toolchain and dependency sources from build/windows, and runs it from
WSL through Windows interop (or wine). All tests pass on Windows.
CMake:
- Windows forced BUILD_TESTING OFF in the cache to keep curl's tests
out, which also removed ObsidianDragonTests from every Windows build.
Hide it from curl with a scoped variable instead, and restore our
cache value afterwards (curl's cmake_dependent_option FORCE-writes
it). Windows still defaults to OFF, so release builds are unchanged.
- ObsidianDragonTests now depends on copy_langs: i18n.cpp includes the
generated embedded/lang_*.h, so a tree that builds only the tests
failed (latent on Linux too).
- Link the Windows system libraries the tests need.
Tests:
- testTmpPath/fixtureDir/removeTree helpers: no hard-coded /tmp, a
runtime fixture-dir override (the compiled-in path is a Linux one),
and best-effort cleanup that can't abort the suite.
- Close the explorer cache before deleting its directory (Windows
can't delete an open file).
- Compile out the address-book and wallet-index round-trips on Windows:
getConfigDir() uses SHGetFolderPath there, which no environment
variable redirects, so they would overwrite the real
%APPDATA%\ObsidianDragon files.

A scriptable fake dragonxd that reproduces, in minutes, the incident where
the GUI hard-killed a node busy with an hour-long witness rebuild:
- dragonxd's HTTP-RPC queue (8 workers + 16 queued, -rpcthreads /
-rpcworkqueue honoured): a full queue answers an immediate plain-text
500 "Work queue depth exceeded", and a request whose client gave up
keeps its slot until a worker reaches it
- a global cs_main held by a "witness rebuild" that logs the real
markers; every method except stop/help takes it
- warmup -28 with the daemon's allow-list, an optional startup replay
- dragonxd's shutdown order: stop (or SIGTERM on POSIX) unbinds RPC,
503s open connections, waits for the rebuild, then logs
"Shutdown: In progress..." / "Shutdown: done" and exits 0
Everything is appended to <datadir>/fake_dragonxd.events; a missing
"clean-exit" line means the process was killed. One portable C++17 file
(POSIX + Winsock), OFF by default (-DDRAGONX_BUILD_FAKE_DAEMON=ON), built
into <build>/fake_dragonxd/ so it can't shadow the real bin/dragonxd.
run-gui-with-fake.sh runs the GUI against it in a throwaway HOME.
Against master's GUI on Linux it reproduces the bug: closing during a
rebuild queues stop behind cs_main-blocked workers, then the GUI sends
SIGTERM and SIGKILL mid-rebuild, with no clean exit.

Bug-report fixes plus adversarial-audit follow-ups. Bumps full 2.0.1->2.0.2 and
lite 1.1.0->1.1.1.
i18n / fonts:
- Rebuild the NotoSansCJK subset with the glyphs the FAQ back-fill introduced
(什/么/门/做); Chinese FAQ titles rendered as "??" on zh (and ja/ko).
Transaction history (enumeration gaps):
- Surface outgoing shielded z->z sends via z_listsentbyaddress (listtransactions
and z_listreceivedbyaddress never report them).
- Surface z->t deshields by parsing z_listsentbyaddress transparentSends (which
z_viewtransaction does not expose); dedupe t->t against listtransactions.
- Key send-row dedup on address so equal-value multi-output sends aren't dropped.
Lite wallet (key safety):
- The async create/restore/open path the UI uses now applies the passphrase:
encrypt a new/restored wallet, unlock an existing one. It previously discarded
the passphrase, storing the seed/keys in PLAINTEXT (create/restore) or leaving
an encrypted wallet locked (open).
Migrate-to-seed (fund safety):
- Persist a sweep-submitted marker at broadcast so a resumed migration can't treat
a ~0 balance (an unconfirmed in-flight sweep) as an empty wallet and adopt (swap
wallet.dat) before the sweep confirms; best-effort locate routes to the confirm gate.
Sync / threading:
- Gate isSynced() on a peer-derived tip (tip_known) so a peerless node isn't reported
synced (Send against a stale balance); add a "no peers" status banner.
- Guard daemon_status_ with a mutex (monitor-thread write vs UI-thread read).
Tests: extends tests/test_phase4.cpp across all of the above; suite green.

Ship https://lite6.dragonx.is and https://lite7.dragonx.is as default
lightwalletd servers in both the Settings defaults and the connection-service
fallback list. Existing installs (whose saved server list predates these)
pick them up via a load-time merge that appends any missing default server —
safe because servers are hidden, never deleted, so a removed server isn't
resurrected. Consolidates the Settings default list into a single
Settings::defaultLiteServers() source of truth.
