Verified against the SDXL Rust source that the backend auto-saves only on
new-address / import / rescan; it does NOT save after sync, send, or shield, and
litelib_shutdown merely sets a flag. So without intervention a first sync
(~30 min) and any sent transaction are lost on restart.
The controller now triggers the backend `save` at exactly the right points:
- after the detached `sync` completes — and BEFORE syncDone_ is set, so a
syncComplete() observer always sees a fully persisted wallet;
- after a successful send / shield (the doSend/doShield cores; skipped on
failure so a failed broadcast doesn't write);
- a guarded best-effort flush in the destructor, only when syncDone_ and no
broadcast is in flight, so shutdown never blocks on the wallet lock held by an
uninterruptible scan or in-progress proving;
- plus a public saveWallet() for explicit/periodic saves.
Wallet-file crash recovery (.dat / .dat.bak rotation) is already handled inside
the backend.
Tests: testLiteWalletControllerM5Persistence proves saves fire after
sync/send/shield and explicit saveWallet(), and do NOT fire on a failed send or
with no wallet open (fake gains a save counter). Plan doc updated; M5b
(packaging/CI/signing/rollout) remains.
