Wallets upgraded across the 1.0.1->1.0.2 network transition could end up
with note witnesses stuck at a stale height, causing z_sendmany /
z_mergetoaddress to fail to build a valid spend. Root cause was a trio of
issues that let a desynced witnessHeight perpetuate instead of self-healing:
- DecrementNoteWitnesses left witnessRootValidated and the witness deque in
an asymmetric state on the size<=1 path.
- VerifyAndSetInitialWitness blindly trusted witnessHeight instead of
validating the cached root against the chain, so a bad height survived.
- UpdatedNoteData copied witnessHeight even when no witnesses were present.
- witnessRootValidated was uninitialized and never serialized, so a garbage
true value could short-circuit the self-heal.
Fixes:
- Default witnessRootValidated to false (in-memory only; never serialized).
- VerifyAndSetInitialWitness now validates the cached witness root against
the block's hashFinalSaplingRoot and reseeds on mismatch.
- Symmetric reset of witness state in DecrementNoteWitnesses.
- Guard the witnessHeight copy in UpdatedNoteData behind a non-empty
witnesses check.
- Defensive majority-root guard in GetSaplingNoteWitnesses.
Also rewrites BuildWitnessCache to rebuild the witness cache in parallel
(per-block commitment extraction + worker pool), cutting a full repair from
~28 min to ~2 min. Tunable via -witnessbuildthreads and -witnessfastrebuild;
output verified byte-identical to the serial path.
