Three defects in one family, all on dev at 5877d15f: wallet state changes that no event reports. Every other variant on the bus is additive, so TransactionsSwept is the only removal signal — a consumer that never hears it keeps the dead rows, replays them on its next load, and leaves the released coins marked spent forever. This closes the mirror-divergence half of the persistence-desync family; the contract being violated is the one written down at dash-spv-ffi/src/callbacks.rs:781-786.

1 — HIGH: the InstantSend path never emitted its sweep

mark_instant_send_utxos (key-wallet/src/wallet/managed_wallet_info/wallet_info_interface.rs) called sweep_conflicts and kept only a bool, discarding the WalletConflictSweep. process_instant_send_lock could therefore only ever emit TransactionInstantLocked — never TransactionsSwept — although the sweep had deleted the loser's record and freed its coins.

This is the live common path, not a corner: dash-spv/src/sync/mempool/manager.rs:565-568 routes an islock arriving for an already-tracked mempool transaction straight here, which is the ordinary transaction-first / lock-second ordering. The sweep inside check_core_transaction is only reachable on a first sighting that already carries its lock.

The sweep is now carried out through a named InstantSendLockOutcome { changed, sweep } and emitted before the lock event, matching the ordering contract the block (process_block.rs:100) and mempool (:230) paths already follow — removals first, so a delete never lands on top of something that came after it. A debug_assert catches a sweep that would be dropped because its wallet reported no change.

The existing coverage missed this because test_instant_send_on_an_existing_mempool_tx_drops_its_conflict drives check_transaction, and the event test at event_tests.rs:1123 has no conflict. New test: test_instant_send_lock_emits_swept_event_before_the_lock_event drives process_instant_send_lock with a conflicting wallet transaction and asserts the loser txid, the released outpoint, the superseded_by attribution, and the relative order of the two events.

2 — MEDIUM: the abandon path emitted nothing at all

Same shape. apply_abandon discarded release_spent_marks' return (the sweep path kept it), AbandonOutcome had no field for it, and WalletManager::abandon_transaction emitted no event whatsoever — while removing records and freeing coins.

AbandonRemoval/AbandonOutcome now carry released_outpoints, reconciled across accounts by the same retain_unclaimed_outpoints pass the conflict sweep uses (extracted for reuse), with outpoints belonging to the abandoned transactions themselves filtered out — those are outputs of records being deleted, not coins coming free. abandon_transaction emits TransactionsSwept.

An abandon has no competing transaction — that is exactly what distinguishes it from a sweep — so superseded_by carries the abandoned root, which therefore also appears in txids. Both the event doc and the FFI callback doc now spell that out, along with the fact that txids is what the abandon asked for: a mirror can hold rows the load path never restored (that asymmetry is why abandon_transaction_with_spends takes an external spend view), so the delete has to be driven by the requested set.

New test: test_abandon_emits_swept_event_with_released_outpoints.

3 — MEDIUM-HIGH: released outpoints were never put back into utxos

managed_core_funds_account.rs removed them from spent_outpoints and stopped there. update_utxos is the only insert site and it runs on a new sighting, which a re-delivery of a known funding transaction is not — and for a finalized one confirm_transaction returns early via transaction_is_finalized, while has_transaction keeps reporting the pruned txid as known. So the #962 event told consumers "spendable again" about a coin this library's own coin selection could not spend. This is reviewer @QuantumExplorer's unresolved #961 thread 2.

The coin is now rebuilt from the funding transaction's own retained record — the sweep removes the loser, not what funded it — so nothing is invented: exact TxOut from record.transaction.output[vout], address and ownership from the OutputDetail that account built when it recorded the transaction, and height/coinbase/confirmed/instantlocked from the same sources update_utxos reads.

Restoring a coin is the dangerous direction, so it is gated on positive proof rather than absence of evidence. A coin is re-credited only when all of:

  • the funding record is held by this account and classifies the output as Received or Change (so a pooled transaction paying several accounts restores each output exactly once, in the account that owns it);
  • the outpoint survived the wallet-wide retain_unclaimed_outpoints reconciliation — a surviving record in a sibling account still spending it means it was never free;
  • it is not still in that account's spent_outpoints (release_spent_marks deliberately keeps marks a survivor claims);
  • it is not in observed_spent_outpoints. A block spend of our coin we could not attribute leaves no record for release_spent_marks to answer from, so it reports the coin free; re-crediting it would hand coin selection a coin the chain has already spent. This is the same reason update_utxos refuses to insert such an output (bug: out-of-order block processing causes SPV wallet to miss UTXO spends #649). Found by walking the out-of-order rescan orderings while writing this, and pinned by a test that fails without the guard.

The winner's own inputs never reach this — drop_conflicted_transactions already withholds them from freed.

Two flags are left at their defaults rather than guessed, both erring toward understating what is spendable: is_trusted (derived by update_utxos from a wallet-wide view of the parent's own inputs, which are gone from utxos by then — false files an unconfirmed coin under unconfirmed, and a confirmed parent does not depend on it) and is_locked (a user lock that lived only on the removed Utxo; false is what a rescan would produce anyway).

Residual, stated plainly

A funding transaction already pruned to its txid by a chainlock keeps no TxOut, so its released coins cannot be rebuilt and stay absent until a rescan deep enough to re-fetch the block — above this layer. Bounded by keep-finalized-transactions, and the pre-existing posture rather than something introduced here. test_restore_cannot_reach_a_chainlock_pruned_funding_record pins it in both feature configurations, which is what identifies the pruning as the cause rather than the restore.

Deliberately not changed: the reported released_outpoints set. Narrowing it by observed_spent_outpoints is a change to #962's consumer-facing contract and a different bug from making in-core state match it. The remaining over-report is the direction already documented on the field, and the in-core side is now strictly correct.

Behavior changes worth a reviewer's attention

  • WalletInfoInterface::mark_instant_send_utxos returns InstantSendLockOutcome instead of bool — a breaking change to a public trait. ManagedWalletInfo is its only implementor in-tree.
  • AbandonOutcome and the crate-internal AbandonRemoval gain a field; AbandonRemoval loses Copy.
  • Two existing tests encoded the old "the coin stays absent until a rescan" behavior and now assert the restore instead — test_a_swept_losers_extra_input_is_recredited_in_core (was ..._is_recoverable_by_rescan) and test_abandoning_an_unbroadcast_root_cascades_to_its_descendants, whose final assertion is now the sharper one: every phantom gone and the one real coin back.
  • sweep_conflicts now recomputes the balance after the re-credit rather than before the reconciliation.

Verification

  • cargo test -p key-wallet -p key-wallet-manager — green (664 + 57 lib, plus integration targets).
  • Same, with keep-finalized-transactions on — green. CI runs --all-features, which enables it, so both configurations matter.
  • cargo check -p dash-spv -p dash-spv-ffi — green; the event consumers compile.
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check, cargo clippy --all-features --all-targets -- -D warnings over the four crates, and RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --workspace --all-features --no-deps — all clean.
  • The two new safety tests were each confirmed to fail with their guard removed, so neither is vacuous.

…dy performed

Three defects in one family: wallet state changes that no event reports, so
a consumer mirroring the wallet to disk diverges from it and replays the
difference on its next load.

1. `mark_instant_send_utxos` ran `sweep_conflicts` and kept only a bool,
   discarding the `WalletConflictSweep`. `process_instant_send_lock` could
   therefore emit only `TransactionInstantLocked`, never `TransactionsSwept`,
   although the sweep had deleted the loser's record and freed its coins.
   This is the live common path — dash-spv routes an islock for an
   already-tracked mempool transaction here, which is the ordinary
   transaction-first ordering. The mirror kept the dead row and left the
   released coins marked spent forever. The sweep is now carried out through
   a named `InstantSendLockOutcome` and emitted before the lock event,
   matching the ordering the block and mempool paths already use.

2. The abandon path had the same shape: `apply_abandon` discarded
   `release_spent_marks`' return, `AbandonOutcome` had nowhere to put it, and
   `WalletManager::abandon_transaction` emitted nothing at all. Released
   outpoints are now reconciled across accounts and carried on the outcome,
   and the abandon emits `TransactionsSwept`. An abandon has no competing
   transaction, so `superseded_by` carries the abandoned root; both the event
   and the FFI callback now document that and the two paths that produce a
   removal.

3. Released outpoints were never put back into the in-core `utxos` map.
   `update_utxos` is the only insert site and it runs on a new sighting,
   which re-delivery of a known funding transaction is not — for a finalized
   one `confirm_transaction` returns before reaching it. So the event told
   consumers a coin was spendable again while this library's own coin
   selection could not spend it. The coin is now rebuilt from the funding
   transaction's own retained record — the sweep removes the loser, not what
   funded it — so nothing is invented: exact `TxOut`, and the account's own
   classification of that output as ours.

Restoring a coin is the dangerous direction, so it is gated on proof rather
than absence of evidence: the funding record must be held by the account
restoring it and classify the output as received or change; the outpoint must
survive the cross-account reconciliation, must not still be spent-marked, and
must not appear in `observed_spent_outpoints` — a block spend we could not
attribute leaves no record for `release_spent_marks` to answer from, and
re-crediting one of those would hand coin selection a coin the chain has
already spent (#649). `is_trusted` and `is_locked` are left false rather than
guessed; both err toward understating what is spendable.

One residual, stated plainly: a funding transaction already pruned to its
txid by a chainlock keeps no output to rebuild from, so its coins stay absent
until a rescan re-fetches the block. That is bounded by
`keep-finalized-transactions` and is the pre-existing posture, now pinned by
a test that asserts both feature configurations.

3215-3226: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider asserting over the wallet-wide UTXO set instead of two named accounts.

WalletInfoInterface is already in scope at line 308, and utxos() aggregates every funding account (key-wallet/src/wallet/managed_wallet_info/wallet_info_interface.rs:501-507). Using it removes the need to name BIP44 and BIP32 explicitly, and it keeps the assertion correct if the test wallet later gains another funding account.

… invariants

The re-credit added in the previous commit inserts a coin straight into
`utxos` but gated only on `observed_spent_outpoints` membership. That is a
fresh insert, not a redelivery, and it cleared neither of the two bars the
credit path clears. Both gaps are reproduced below, and both reproduce under
the default feature set — `keep-finalized-transactions` widens them but is
not what causes them.

1. The observed-spent map is bounded state, not a ledger.
   `prune_finalized_observed_spends` evicts every entry at or below the
   finality boundary, so beneath it "was this coin spent in a block?" is
   unanswerable and a miss is not a no. A coin a block spent at height 101
   was rebuilt into `utxos` after the eviction and picked by coin selection,
   which then constructed a spend of a chain-consumed output. The map's
   safety argument only ever covered redelivery paths, where the funding
   transaction arriving again is itself the evidence; a re-credit has no such
   arrival.

   The re-credit now additionally requires the coin's funding record to sit
   in a block strictly above `ManagedWalletInfo::spend_proof_horizon`. A
   spend can never precede the output it spends, so any block spend of such
   a coin is above the horizon too and would still be in the map for the
   membership test to find. The horizon is the applied chainlock height, not
   the prune's own `min(chain_lock, synced_height)`: that boundary describes
   a single run, while the gate has to bound everything ever evicted across
   every run. The chainlock height is monotonic — `apply_chain_lock` replaces
   the stored lock only on a strictly greater height — and every past prune
   boundary was at most the chainlock height of its moment.
   `rewind_sync_checkpoint_for_new_account` deliberately drops `synced_height`
   to just below wallet birth on an account add, which would move a
   `min()`-derived boundary back down and re-admit coins whose spend records
   an earlier, higher boundary had already evicted.

2. `update_utxos` refuses to credit the outputs of a transaction a settled
   spend has doomed — it can never confirm, so its change is money that does
   not exist — while deliberately keeping the record for history. The
   re-credit read that record back as a funding source and materialised the
   change of a never-confirmable transaction: 500,000 phantom duffs, and
   spendable. `doomed_by_a_settled_spend` becomes a shared function and is
   now applied to the funding record before any of its outputs is rebuilt.

Coins failing either gate are withheld with a `tracing::debug` naming the
outpoint. Withholding leaves them exactly where the code before the
re-credit left them: absent from coin selection until a rescan re-delivers
the funding transaction. It understates the spendable balance and can never
inflate it. Notably it also brings the two feature configurations back into
agreement — under the default set a chainlocked funding record is already
pruned to its txid and could never be rebuilt anyway.

The reported `released_outpoints` set is deliberately unchanged: its contract
is consumer-facing, consumers restore from their own record of the coin, and
narrowing it is a separate change. The event-field docs now spell out the
widened in-core divergence and that it is one-directional — core holds at
most what the event reports, never more.

Both scenarios are covered by regression tests that fail before this change
and pass after it, in both feature configurations.

The first revision's re-credit was fund-unsafe. Two scenarios, both reproduced, and both reproduce on the default feature set — keep-finalized-transactions widens them but is not what causes them. Fixed in bbb9237, with the repro tests folded in as regression tests.

1. Gating on observed_spent_outpoints is not enough, because that map is evicting state. prune_finalized_observed_spends drops every entry at or below the finality boundary — that is what keeps it bounded. Below the boundary a miss is not a "no", it's "no longer recorded". I had reasoned about that map as if it were a ledger; its safety argument was written for redelivery paths, where the funding transaction arriving again is itself the evidence. A re-credit has no such arrival. In the repro a coin a block spent at height 101 is rebuilt into utxos after the eviction and coin selection then constructs a spend of a chain-consumed output. The default build was only incidentally protected: a Mempool/InstantSend-context funding record survives apply_chain_lock, which promotes and prunes only InBlock records.

2. The re-credit read a funding record update_utxos had already rejected. update_utxos refuses to credit the outputs of a transaction a settled spend has doomed — it can never confirm, so its change is money that does not exist — while deliberately keeping the record for history. The re-credit used that record as a funding source and materialised the change of a never-confirmable transaction: 500,000 phantom duffs, spendable.

The fix makes the re-credit share update_utxos' invariants rather than approximate them. doomed_by_a_settled_spend is now a shared function applied to the funding record too, and the re-credit additionally requires the coin's funding record to sit in a block strictly above a new spend_proof_horizon — a spend can never precede the output it spends, so any block spend of such a coin would still be in the map for the membership test to find.

On the horizon derivation: it is the applied chainlock height, deliberately not the prune's own min(chain_lock, synced_height). That expression describes a single prune run, whereas the gate has to bound everything ever evicted across every run. rewind_sync_checkpoint_for_new_account intentionally drops synced_height to just below wallet birth on an account add, which would move a min()-derived boundary back down and re-admit exactly the coins an earlier, higher boundary had already evicted. The chainlock height is monotonic (apply_chain_lock replaces the stored lock only on a strictly greater height) and dominates every past boundary, so it is the sound upper bound.

The trade-off, stated plainly. This is a real narrowing, in the conservative direction. Coins failing either gate are withheld — logged at debug with the outpoint — which leaves them exactly where the code before the re-credit left them: absent from coin selection until a rescan re-delivers the funding transaction. It understates the spendable balance and can never inflate it. Concretely, every unconfirmed funding record is now withheld once a chainlock has been applied, because a mempool-context record pins no lower bound on the spend window at all — an out-of-order rescan routinely holds one for a transaction the chain mined long ago, which is the #649 shape. Under the default feature set that is the entire narrowing, since a chainlocked funding record is already pruned to its txid and could never be rebuilt; under keep-finalized-transactions the below-horizon records are withheld too, which brings the two configurations back into agreement rather than leaving the flag to decide fund safety.

The reported released_outpoints set is unchanged. Its contract is consumer-facing, consumers restore from their own record of the coin, and narrowing it is a separate change from making in-core state match it. The event-field docs now spell out the widened in-core divergence and that it is one-directional: core holds at most what the event reports, never more.

Separately, on the superseded_by caveat — confirmed the field doc already states it: on the abandon path it carries the abandoned root, "which therefore also appears in txids", and "Consumers must not assume it names a row that survives, or indeed any row at all." No change needed.

Verification: both regression tests fail before the change and pass after, in both feature configurations. Full suite green — 762 passed on default, 756 on keep-finalized-transactions, 0 failures in either. fmt clean, clippy clean on --all-targets in both configs, rustdoc warnings unchanged from baseline.
