Setting a PIN always unlocked the wallet with a 5 s probe and then
re-locked it, even when the wallet was already unlocked, so a PIN check
silently re-locked an unlocked wallet. And once the daemon's absolute
unlock window ran out the GUI still showed "unlocked", so the next send
failed with nothing on screen explaining it.
- The Set-PIN check now decides on the main thread: an unlocked wallet
is verified with the time it has left (capped at seven days) and is
not re-locked, so the GUI and the daemon keep agreeing; a locked
wallet still uses the 5 s probe and re-locks. Either way the daemon's
lock state is re-read afterwards, which self-heals any drift.
- When the daemon's unlock window has expired but the GUI still says
"unlocked", a bounded reconcile (once per expiry, 30 s back-off)
re-reads getwalletinfo so the lock screen and the transaction-cache
lock follow the daemon. Lite wallets, which have no daemon timer, are
left alone.
Behaviour change: with auto-lock disabled the daemon still re-locks at
its window, and the GUI now lands on the lock screen instead of
appearing unlocked until a send fails.
Tests: the Set-PIN verify plan (unlocked keeps its remaining time and
skips the re-lock, locked or near-expiry falls back to the 5 s probe and
re-lock, long windows are capped) and the unlock-expiry predicate across
encrypted, locked, no-deadline and not-yet-expired cases.
