The bug

A testnet wallet displayed 1.5769211 DASH transparent while owning 0.00696622. The 1.57 was five UTXOs from three transactions the network had never seen — getrawtransaction returns "No such mempool or blockchain transaction" for all three.

They form a chain. An asset-lock funding transaction was built and applied to the wallet — its input removed from utxos, its outputs inserted — and its broadcast then failed. Two further transactions were built on its change and applied too. Nothing ever reversed any of it: none of them is in a block, so no block processing revisits them, and dash-spv's mempool expiry drops only its own tracking without telling the wallet.

The device evidence, with a diagnostic dump of the restored UTXO set:

outpoint=7ef7773e…:1  value=58998722  height=0  is_confirmed=false
outpoint=0b54072f…:0  value=20000000  height=0  is_confirmed=false
outpoint=0b54072f…:1  value=38998496  height=0  is_confirmed=false
outpoint=e05e9aa1…:0  value=5000000   height=0  is_confirmed=false
outpoint=e05e9aa1…:1  value=33998270  height=0  is_confirmed=false
                      sum 156995488 == the displayed unconfirmed, exactly

This PR is the key-wallet half of the fix. The host-side half (the load path that restores these rows, and the policy that decides a transaction is dead) lives in dashpay/platform.

What changed

1. Trusted self-sends are resolved wallet-wide, not per-account

update_utxos decided "are all these inputs ours and final" by looking only at self.utxos — the UTXOs of the single account being updated. Pooled funding breaks that: an asset lock draws inputs from BIP44, BIP32 and the DashPay contact-receiving accounts at once (dashpay/platform#4350, #4329), so the account holding the change routinely cannot see the other inputs' parents. It then denied trust to the wallet's own transfer and filed the change under unconfirmed.

The checker now unions each funds account's final parents for the transaction before any account is borrowed mutably — and before update_utxos starts removing spent parents — and threads the set down. The per-account lookup is unchanged and still runs first; the set only supplies parents this account cannot see, so callers driving a single account directly pass an empty set and keep today's behaviour.

2. A transaction that loses its inputs has its outputs dropped

When a transaction arrives with a final context — in a block, or InstantSend-locked — every input it spends is settled under consensus. Any other recorded unconfirmed transaction spending the same outpoint can therefore never confirm, and the UTXOs it contributed are money that does not exist.

Deliberately narrow, on two counts. It fires only on proof of a conflicting final spend, never on a timeout: the p2p network has no negative signal since BIP61 reject was removed, so a transaction that merely went quiet may still be live in a miner's mempool, and un-applying it would re-expose its inputs to coin selection and invite a double-spend. And it reverts only the loser's outputs, which needs no recovery of discarded state — its inputs are already correctly accounted for by the transaction that actually spent them.

3. abandon_transaction, for a transaction proven dead

The conflict sweep above cannot reach a transaction the network never saw — there is no conflicting spend to trigger it. That case needs an explicit call, and the evidence that justifies it belongs to the layer that owns broadcast policy.

ManagedWalletInfo::abandon_transaction(root) walks the recorded spenders transitively and drops the whole chain: outputs, records, and the reservations they held. The walk is wallet-wide for the same pooling reason as (1). Confirmed and finalized transactions are never followed — they are settled, so what they spent was real.

The coins the chain consumed are released from spent_outpoints rather than re-credited. update_utxos discards the Utxo when it removes a spent parent, and InputDetail keeps only index/value/address, so the flags deciding a restored coin's balance bucket survive nowhere; inventing them would be a guess. What those coins actually are is unspent on chain, so the rescan the release enables is the honest source.

The call asserts the root is dead; it does not establish it. Silence is not proof on a network with no reject message. Only call it where the death is known.

4. The cascade can follow an external spend view

abandon_transaction_with_spends takes an outpoint→spender map from the caller's persistence mirror. The plain walk reads recorded transactions, which is enough while the wallet is live but not after a restore that brings back UTXOs without their creating transactions — on the device the walk stopped at the root (abandoned=1) because the two descendants' records were never in the map to be found. The no-argument form is unchanged.

Verification

Each behavioural change has a test that was confirmed to fail without its fix:

  • test_self_send_change_is_trusted_when_parent_is_in_a_sibling_account — input in the BIP32 account, change on BIP44.
  • test_conflicting_confirmed_spend_drops_the_losing_transactions_outputs — two spends of one input, the second confirms.
  • test_abandoning_an_unbroadcast_root_cascades_to_its_descendants — reproduces the device's shape: a root plus two links chained onto its change, none broadcast, all five outputs and three records gone, and the funding coin recoverable by rescan afterwards.

cargo test -p key-wallet --all-features --lib — 643 passed. cargo clippy -p key-wallet --all-features --lib clean. cargo check --workspace --all-features clean.

End to end on the device, with the platform-side half applied, the whole chain cleared:

abandoned=3 utxos_removed=5
  txids=["0b54072f…", "e05e9aa1…", "7ef7773e…"]

Transparent went from 1.5769211 to 0.00476359.

Notes for review

  • The conflict sweep in (2) is account-local: both the transaction records and the UTXO set are per-account, so a loser whose change landed in a different account than the winner is not reached. A resend keeps the same funding account and so the same change account, which is the ordinary shape — but not every one.
  • An abandoned transaction's change address stays marked used; address_pool::mark_used has no unmark path. No effect on funds or balance, only on gap-limit headroom.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for abandoning unbroadcast transactions and dependent chains.
    • Abandonment removes related outputs and records, releases reserved inputs, and restores transaction rediscovery.
    • Improved self-send change detection across accounts sharing pooled transaction inputs.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Conflicting unconfirmed transactions are now pruned when confirmed or InstantSend transactions spend the same inputs.
    • Transaction confirmation and backfill handling now correctly account for activity across managed accounts.
    • Abandoned transaction chains now clean up dependent wallet state consistently.

`update_utxos` decided "are all these inputs ours and final" by looking
only at `self.utxos` — the UTXOs of the single account being updated.
Pooled funding breaks that assumption: an asset lock draws inputs from
BIP44, BIP32 and the DashPay contact-receiving accounts at once, so the
account holding the change routinely cannot see the other inputs'
parents. It then denied trust to the wallet's own transfer and filed the
change under `unconfirmed`, where nothing later corrects it.

Assemble the parent view at the wallet level instead. The checker unions
each funds account's final parents for the transaction before any account
is borrowed mutably — and before `update_utxos` starts removing spent
parents — and threads the set down through `record_transaction` /
`confirm_transaction`. The per-account lookup is unchanged and still runs
first; the set only supplies parents this account cannot see, so callers
driving a single account directly pass an empty set and keep today's
behavior.

A self-originated transaction that is beaten to its inputs can never
confirm, but the wallet kept crediting the change it contributed. Nothing
removed it: the loser is in no block, so no block processing revisits it,
and dash-spv's mempool expiry only drops its own tracking without telling
the wallet. The change sat in the `unconfirmed` bucket permanently — money
the wallet displays and does not have.

When a transaction arrives with a final context, every input it spends is
settled under consensus, so any other recorded unconfirmed transaction
spending the same outpoint is provably dead. Drop that transaction's
outputs and its record.

Deliberately narrow, on two counts. It fires only on proof of a
conflicting final spend, never on a timeout: the p2p network has no
negative signal since BIP61 `reject` was removed, so a transaction that
merely went quiet may still be live in a miner's mempool, and un-applying
it would re-expose its inputs to coin selection and invite a double-spend.
And it reverts only the loser's outputs, which needs no recovery of
discarded state — its inputs are already correctly accounted for by the
transaction that actually spent them. Reverting a transaction of unknown
fate would additionally require restoring the spent parents, whose `Utxo`
values are not retained anywhere; that case needs an explicit abandon
primitive driven by the layer that owns broadcast policy, not this.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A transaction the network never accepted still mutated the wallet: its
outputs were credited and its inputs marked spent. Nothing reverses that
— it is in no block, so no block processing revisits it — and further
transactions get built on its change, each inheriting the same fiction.
A testnet device carried three such transactions chained together, 1.57
DASH of outputs the network had never seen, permanently in `unconfirmed`.

`abandon_transaction` takes a root txid, walks the recorded spenders
transitively, and drops the whole chain: outputs, records, and the
reservations they held. The walk is wallet-wide because pooled funding
spreads a transaction's inputs across account families, so a descendant's
change can land in an account holding none of the root. Confirmed and
finalized transactions are never followed — they are settled, so what
they spent was real.

The coins the chain consumed are released from `spent_outpoints` rather
than re-credited. The `Utxo` removed for a spent parent is discarded by
`update_utxos` and `InputDetail` keeps only index/value/address, so the
flags deciding a restored coin's balance bucket survive nowhere;
inventing them would be a guess. What those coins actually are is unspent
on chain, so the rescan that the release enables is the honest source.

The call asserts the root is dead, it does not establish it — silence is
not proof on a network with no reject message. The judgement stays with
the layer that owns broadcast policy.

The descendant walk reads recorded transactions, which is enough while
the wallet is live but not after a restore that brings back UTXOs without
their creating transactions. On a testnet device the walk stopped at the
root and left two descendants credited — their records were never in the
map to be found.

`abandon_transaction_with_spends` takes an outpoint-to-spender map from
the caller's persistence mirror and follows both views. The no-argument
form is unchanged.

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 127ed

The change removes phantom unconfirmed outputs, but current behavior can leave balances or spendable funds incorrect when conflict cleanup or abandonment affects finalized transactions. These concrete correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

`apply_abandon` is private, so linking to it from a public item fails the
docs build; state the reasoning inline instead. `update_balance` comes
from `WalletInfoInterface`, not from `Self`.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`AbandonOutcome::is_empty` could never return true: `abandoned` always
holds the root, whether or not the wallet had anything recorded for it, so
a caller guarding on `!is_empty()` acted on every call — including one
that removed nothing. Count what was actually dropped instead, and report
records alongside UTXOs.

`apply_abandon` removed each abandoned record's inputs from
`spent_outpoints` one record at a time, which un-marks an outpoint that a
*surviving* transaction also spends — precisely the double-spend shape
this work exists for, where the loser and the winner share an input.
Re-derive the set from the surviving records instead; only they can say
which outpoints are still spent. `rebuild_spent_outpoints` loses its
serde/test cfg gate accordingly.

`final_parents_of` and the cascade walk now iterate `all_funding_accounts`
rather than filtering `all_accounts`. Simpler, and it drops DashPay
*external* watch-only accounts from the scan — a coin the wallet cannot
spend was never an input to a transaction the wallet built, so it has no
business granting trust.

[P1] Existing mempool transactions skip conflict cleanup when InstantSend-locked

When is_new is false, this InstantSend branch only marks the winner's UTXOs and updates its record context, then returns. It never runs update_utxos/drop_conflicted_transactions, so if two competing spends were already recorded in the mempool, the loser's outputs remain credited after the winner receives an IS lock. Please run the conflict sweep on this transition too, and add a regression covering loser → winner-in-mempool → winner-InstantSend.

[P1] Cascade conflict cleanup through the loser's descendants

This removes only the direct loser. If another unconfirmed transaction already spent the loser's change, that output is no longer present here, while the child's output remains in utxos even though its parent can never exist. That preserves the same phantom-balance class this PR is fixing. Please compute the unconfirmed descendant closure of each loser and remove all of their outputs and records.

[P2] Rebuild spent_outpoints after removing loser records

Deleting the record leaves its inputs in spent_outpoints. For example, if the loser spends A+B and the winner spends only A, B remains marked spent and a rescan cannot rediscover it until restart/deserialization rebuilds the set. Re-derive spent_outpoints from the surviving records here, as apply_abandon already does.

// an abandoned transaction is itself abandoned.

[P2] Preserve confirmed/finalized transactions from the external cascade

external_spends carries no confirmation state, so this can add a confirmed spender to abandoned; apply_abandon then removes its record and UTXOs unconditionally. This contradicts the API guarantee that settled transactions are not followed and makes stale persistence data capable of deleting confirmed wallet state. Please encode or validate the external spender's finality before adding it, and defensively reject confirmed/finalized roots as well.

Review findings, all four reachable:

**The sweep skipped the InstantSend transition.** When the winner was
already recorded — both spends sitting in the mempool, then an IS lock
arrives — the update-in-place branch marks UTXOs and returns without
reaching `update_utxos`, so the sweep it carries never ran and the
loser's outputs stayed credited. An IS lock settles the inputs exactly as
a block does; run the sweep there too. Regression test included, verified
to fail without the fix.

**The sweep did not cascade.** It dropped the direct loser only, so a
further unconfirmed transaction spending the loser's change kept its own
outputs — the parent gone, the child still credited, which is the same
phantom-balance shape this PR removes. Walk the unconfirmed descendant
closure instead; confirmed records are never followed.

**`spent_outpoints` kept the loser's inputs.** Deleting the record left
them marked, so an input the winner does not spend could not be
rediscovered until a restart rebuilt the set. Re-derive from the
surviving records, as `apply_abandon` already does — a loser spending
A+B against a winner spending only A must leave A marked and free B.

**The external cascade could delete settled state.** `external_spends`
carries no confirmation state, so a stale mirror row naming a confirmed
transaction would have had its record and UTXOs removed. Check finality
against the wallet before following a spender, and refuse a settled root
outright.

Code review: never-broadcast transaction crediting money that does not exist

Reviewed at extra-high effort: independent finder passes across correctness, cross-file, domain-semantics, reuse/simplification and conventions angles, then adversarial verification of each candidate. Most findings below were reproduced with probe tests run against this branch head (15a597f8), and in two cases against the merge-base 0f948590 for a before/after comparison. All probe files were removed afterwards.

The diagnosis is right and each of the three mechanisms is individually well-argued — the writeup made the review much easier, and several limitations below are ones you already documented.

The overall concern is a mismatch in reach: the two mechanisms that remove phantom money are considerably narrower than the prose suggests, while the trust widening is unconditionally live. For the motivating device case the net effect is that the phantom chain moves from unconfirmed into confirmed and nothing on the current code paths clears it. Same probe, base vs head: confirmed=0 / unconfirmed=99000 becomes confirmed=99000 / unconfirmed=0.

Four themes, detailed inline:

  1. The sweep has more gaps than coverage (comments 8, 9, 13, and 1). It does not fire when the winner pays no address we track, when the loser's change is in another account, when the loser arrives after the winner, or — on the real dash-spv pipeline — when the winner gets an InstantSend lock at all, since late IS locks route through mark_instant_send_utxos, which has no sweep call.
  2. Three paths can destroy or fabricate real money (comments 2, 3, 7): a swept loser's non-overlapping input silently vanishes (300000 duffs of a chainlock-final coin in a reproduced case); the new runtime rebuild_spent_outpoints erases chainlock-pruned spent-marks and lets an on-chain-spent coin be re-credited as confirmed; and apply_abandon uses the unconditional release that ReservationSet's own doc forbids for abandon callers.
  3. InstantSend is treated as final in one direction only (comments 5, 6): the sweep trusts an arriving IS lock, but !is_confirmed() classifies an IS-locked record as a droppable loser, so a plain non-chainlocked block deletes it — the inverse of DIP-10 — with no reorg recovery anywhere in the tree. The abandon guard has the mirror gap.
  4. The new tests do not hold the fix down (comment 14): two of the three assert unconfirmed() == 0, which is already true before the fix because the phantom is bucketed as confirmed.

Comments 3 and 4 are reasoned from the source rather than reproduced; everything else has a probe behind it.

Smaller items not filed inline, for completeness: the IS-lock sweep path never bumps monitor_revision (sweep_conflicts_for discards the bool); AbandonOutcome::is_empty's documented invariant that "abandoned always contains the root" is false on the settled-root refusal, which returns an empty set; records_removed double-counts a transaction held by two accounts; collect_spenders_of is reimplemented inline inside the sweep and the sweep's removal phase is a drifted copy of apply_abandon (which is where the reservation asymmetry in comment 3 comes from); and the sweep runs a full record scan on every confirmed transaction, making a rescan O(N^2) on a multi-thousand-record wallet — worth a look before merge given this runs in block processing.

1. A loser recorded after its winner re-creates the phantom, and it is spendable

The sweep only fires when the arriving transaction is final, and nothing checks at record time whether an arriving transaction's inputs are already spent. So the reverse arrival order rebuilds exactly the state this PR removes.

The two guards in update_utxos (:305, :317) test only the arriving transaction's own output outpoints — never its inputs — even though the spent parent is already in observed_spent_outpoints by then.

Probe against this branch (winner confirmed first, then the loser delivered as Mempool):

relevant=true new=true utxos=2 confirmed=299000 unconfirmed=399000
phantom selectable for coin selection=true  spendable_balance=708000

Only 299000 of that is real. Utxo::is_spendable checks only is_locked and maturity, so this is selectable by coin selection, not just a display artifact.

It is also permanent once the winner is chainlock-finalized: re-delivering the winner's block hits the early return at :622 before update_utxos, so the sweep never runs again (after winner rescan: loser_utxo_present=true). utxos is serialized, so a restart does not clear it either.

Suggested shape: an input-side check on the record path — reject or mark-dead when any input.previous_output is already spent. Note spent_outpoints alone is not a reliable source for that, for the reason in comment 7.

/// mempool, and un-applying it would re-expose its inputs to coin
/// selection and invite a double-spend.

/// Only the loser's *outputs* are reverted, which needs no recovery of

2. A swept loser's non-overlapping input silently disappears from the balance

Only the loser's outputs are reverted, which needs no recovery of discarded state: its inputs are correctly accounted for by tx, the transaction that actually spent them.

This holds only when the winner spends every input the loser did. When it does not, the code contradicts this doc eight lines below, at :584:

// loser spending A+B against a winner that spends only A must leave A
// marked (the winner still spends it) and free B

B is freed from spent_outpoints, but B's Utxo was discarded at :370 when the loser was recorded, and update_utxos is the only production path that can re-credit a coin. B ends up in no UTXO map and no spent set — it just stops existing.

Probe (funding pays A=500000 and B=400000; loser spends A+B; winner spends only A and confirms):

after sweep: balance total = 99000     (correct = 499000)

Recovery matrix:

chainlocked_funding=false   after_rescan=499000  coin_b_back=true
chainlocked_funding=true    after_rescan=99000   coin_b_back=false   <-- permanent

This is reachable without an external attacker, via a swept descendant: coin selection routinely co-spends 0-conf change with real coins (is_spendable ignores confirmation). Probe with a chainlock-final coin C co-spent by a descendant: after sweep: coin_c tracked = false | total = 99000 (correct = 399000) — 300000 duffs of a never-double-spent coin gone permanently.

Unlike abandon_transaction, which documents a caller-driven rescan contract, this runs autonomously inside block processing and signals nothing.

3. apply_abandon uses the unconditional release that ReservationSet documents as forbidden here

reservation.rs:167-171:

This is correct only where the coins are known spent ... A caller that is merely abandoning an in-flight build (rejected broadcast, cancelled send) must use release_if_owner instead, so it cannot free a reservation another build has since taken over.

abandon_transaction is precisely that caller by its own doc ("a build that provably never reached the network, or an explicit user decision"), and no owner token is threaded through to allow the guarded variant.

Concretely: root R spends X; abandon_transaction(R) frees X; a rescan re-credits X; build B reserves X under a fresh token and is mid-await on broadcast; a second abandon over another still-recorded phantom that also lists X unconditionally frees B's reservation, and coin selection hands X to a third build.

Note the asymmetry with the sibling path: drop_conflicted_transactions releases nothing for the losers it removes, leaking those reservations until restart. The two removal paths are wrong in opposite directions.

4. The abandon walk is not wallet-wide — it skips keys accounts and DashPay external accounts

The doc at :57 says "The walk is transitive and wallet-wide", but both the walk and the mutation iterate only all_funding_accounts(), which excludes keys-only accounts (identity registration/top-up, provider) and dashpay_external_accounts. All of those hold TransactionRecords; DashpayExternalAccount is a ManagedCoreFundsAccount and is in update_utxos' spendable match arm, so it holds UTXOs too.

This matters for the PR's own motivating shape. An asset-lock funding transaction T built from BIP44 that pays the identity-registration address is recorded in both the BIP44 funds account and the IdentityRegistration keys account. abandon_transaction(T) clears BIP44 only.

The surviving record then poisons re-sighting: if the app retries the stored build and T reaches the mempool, is_new is false (wallet_checker.rs:100-110) and wallet_checker.rs:183 returns early for a non-confirmed context — so BIP44 never re-records T, never re-marks its input spent, and never re-credits its change. Coin selection can then hand that same input to a second build.

transaction_is_settled at :41 has the mirror blind spot.

5. A plain non-chainlocked block deletes an InstantSend-locked record (DIP-10 inverted), unrecoverably

The gate at :510 accepts context.confirmed(), which is true for a plain InBlock, and this filter's !record.is_confirmed() admits an InstantSend record — TransactionContext::confirmed() matches only InChainLockedBlock | InBlock. The comment above reasons only about chainlocked records.

The trigger is the ordinary tip path: key-wallet-manager/src/process_block.rs:59-63 emits plain InBlock unless the chainlock already covers the height.

Probe:

precondition: loser record context = instant send
IS-locked loser record deleted = true
IS-locked loser change UTXO deleted = true
wallet still lists the IS lock = true

The wallet's own two InstantSend signals now disagree with its records. Precedence is inverted in both directions: an InBlock winner deletes an IS-locked loser, while an InstantSend winner cannot touch an InBlock loser. Only InChainLockedBlock should legitimately override an IS lock.

Removal is unconditional transactions_mut().remove(loser) with no conflicted mark and no resurrection path, and there is no reorg handling anywhere in key-wallet, key-wallet-manager or dash-spv (only the aspirational doc line at dash-spv/src/chain/mod.rs:7), so a reorg of the winner leaves the wallet holding neither transaction.

If you add an IS guard, key it off record.context.is_instant_send()instant_send_locks is serde(skip) and is empty after a restart.

11. The "a rescan can rediscover them" contract fails when the funding transaction is chainlock-finalized

apply_abandon deliberately re-credits nothing and rests on this promise, but for a finalized funding transaction no redelivery path can re-insert the coin.

has_transaction returns true for finalized txids (managed_core_keys_account.rs:404-406) so is_new is false, and confirm_transaction returns None at managed_core_funds_account.rs:622 before reaching update_utxos — the only production UTXO insert site.

Probe with funding delivered as InChainLockedBlock:

abandon outcome = { utxos_removed: 1, records_removed: 1 }
balance after abandon = 0
rescan: is_relevant=true  is_new=false  utxos=[]  balance=0

The funding coin never comes back. test_abandoning_an_unbroadcast_root_cascades_to_its_descendants asserts exactly this recovery ("the funding coin comes back on rescan") but uses InBlock, so it covers only the non-finalized case.

The repo states the blocking invariant itself at managed_wallet_info/mod.rs:364-366 ("so no redelivery path can re-insert the coin") — which is the assumption this doc's recovery promise depends on being false. Since Dash chainlocks within a block or two, finalized is the normal posture for the older coins an asset-lock build spends.

12. Swept removals are invisible to every caller, so a persistence mirror resurrects them

TransactionCheckResult (transaction_checking/account_checker.rs:49-79) carries only new_records / updated_records — there is no removal field. WalletEvent (key-wallet-manager/src/events.rs:182) has five variants, all additive. Yet that event stream is the documented persistence channel: key-wallet-manager/src/lib.rs:143-148 — "The platform consumer projects each event into a persisted changeset".

Both sweep call sites are silent. This one returns into utxos_changed inside update_utxos, which returns (); the other discards the bool in sweep_conflicts_for.

So a mirror keyed on those buckets is structurally incapable of learning the loser was deleted. It replays the loser row on next launch — and because a replayed loser arrives with Mempool context, the gate at :510 rejects it (comment 1), so the phantom is re-created with nothing left to clear it.

Whether the host mirror actually retains the row lives in dashpay/platform and is outside this repo; what is verifiable here is that the in-repo signal does not exist. abandon_transaction is fine by contrast — AbandonOutcome.abandoned names every dropped txid synchronously to its caller.

/// and the `Utxo` values removed for them — with their flags — are not

13. The account-local scope leaves cross-account losers behind, now displayed as confirmed

The limitation is disclosed here as covering "the ordinary shape", but that sits in tension with this PR's own claim at wallet_checker.rs:88-94 that cross-account pooled funding is "the normal shape for asset locks". wallet_checker.rs:189-194 loops over result.affected_accounts, so only accounts matching the winner are swept.

Probe (loser's change in BIP44; winner spends the same BIP32 coin with change to BIP32, so BIP44 is never an affected account):

loser change survived is_trusted confirmed unconfirmed
base yes false 299000 399000
head yes true 698000 0

So combined with the trust widening, 399000 whose input was provably consumed by a block-confirmed spend is now displayed as confirmed. It also leaves the wallet internally inconsistent: the winner's account drops its copy of the loser record while the other account keeps both record and UTXO.

This PR already built the wallet-wide pattern for exactly this question — final_parents_of for trust, and a wallet-wide abandon walk — so the asymmetry stands out. A wallet-level sweep would close this and the is_relevant gap in comment 8 together.

Related edge: if the winner matches only a keys account, sweep_conflicts_for is a no-op and nothing is swept at all.

14. This assertion passes with the fix reverted

chain[0] spends the confirmed funding UTXO, so all_inputs_final_and_ours holds and its change is is_trusted (managed_core_funds_account.rs:331); trust is transitive, so both descendants inherit it. update_balance buckets is_trusted UTXOs as confirmed (:880) — which your own test_self_send_change_in_mempool_lands_in_confirmed_balance documents.

So unconfirmed() is 0 before the abandon as well as after. Delete the entire cascade and this line still passes. The load-bearing assertion — confirmed() == 0 after the abandon, i.e. the ~35M-duff phantom is actually gone — is never written; only utxos.is_empty() at :2259 catches a regression.

Same vacuity at :2386 in test_conflicting_confirmed_spend_drops_the_losing_transactions_outputs: without the sweep, confirmed() would be 698000 and unconfirmed() still 0.

Two further coverage gaps worth closing while you are here:

  • Every new test gives each transaction exactly one wallet-owned output (asserted at :2236), so the multi-UTXO-per-txid removal loops (apply_abandon:436-441, the per-loser loop at :570-575) are never exercised — a filter that dropped only the first UTXO per txid would pass all three tests. The doc at :2163 claims to reproduce a five-UTXO device shape.
  • abandon_transaction_with_spends has no test at all: not the external_spends walk, not the settled-spender guard, not the settled-root refusal. The repo CLAUDE.md asks for unit tests on new functionality.

///
/// Returns `true` if any UTXO was newly marked. Always returns `false`

15. This doc comment belongs to mark_utxos_instant_send

The new function was inserted between mark_utxos_instant_send's doc block and its signature, so sweep_conflicts_for now renders with:

Mark all UTXOs belonging to txid as InstantSend-locked.
Returns true if any UTXO was newly marked.

It takes a &Transaction, marks nothing, and returns (). Meanwhile pub fn mark_utxos_instant_send at :421 is left with no doc at all. Fix is mechanical: move lines 408-411 back below the new method.

Two sibling doc issues in this PR, same "comments state what the code does" guardrail:

  • drop_conflicted_transactions at managed_core_funds_account.rs:482 and abandon_transaction at helpers.rs:54 both say the phantom outputs "sit in the unconfirmed bucket permanently". The trusted-self-send rule this PR widens makes that false — they are bucketed as confirmed, and they are spendable (comments 8, 10, 13). The docs understate the severity of the bug being fixed.
  • rebuild_spent_outpoints at managed_core_funds_account.rs:1176-1181 still says only Deserialize and the test reload reach it. That is the stale claim that makes its records-only derivation look safe, now that this PR added two runtime callers (comment 7). The attribute it names is also #[serde(skip_serializing)], not #[serde(skip)].

**A loser arriving after its winner re-created the phantom, spendably.**
The sweep only fires when the *arriving* transaction is final, and
nothing checked an arriving transaction's inputs at all — the two guards
in `update_utxos` test its own output outpoints. So the reverse order
(winner confirms, loser delivered afterwards as mempool) credited the
loser's outputs with nothing left to remove them, and `is_spendable`
gates only on `is_locked` and maturity, so coin selection could spend
them. Refuse to credit a non-final transaction whose input a block has
already spent. The record still stands, so history keeps the attempt.

**A swept loser's non-overlapping input silently vanished.** The doc
claimed reverting only the outputs needs no recovery, which holds only
when the winner spends every input the loser did. It often does not: a
loser spending A+B against a winner spending only A leaves B freed from
`spent_outpoints` but with no `Utxo` — discarded when the loser was
recorded, and `InputDetail` cannot rebuild it. The release is what makes
B recoverable by a rescan; the doc now says so, including that a
chainlock-finalized funding record needs a deeper rescan. Regression test
covers the round trip.

**`apply_abandon` used the release `ReservationSet` forbids here.** Its
doc reserves the unconditional form for coins *known spent*, and requires
`release_if_owner` from a caller abandoning an in-flight build — exactly
this one — so it cannot free a reservation a newer build has taken over.
There is nothing of this build's left to release anyway: recording the
transaction already handed its inputs to `spent_outpoints`. Drop the call.

…d-bearing

**#15** `sweep_conflicts_for` was inserted between `mark_utxos_instant_send`'s
doc block and its signature, so it rendered with that method's docs while
`mark_utxos_instant_send` was left with none. Moved back.

Two stale claims alongside it. The phantom outputs do not "sit in the
`unconfirmed` bucket" — the trusted-self-send rule this PR widens files
them as *confirmed* and therefore spendable, which understated the bug.
And `rebuild_spent_outpoints` still claimed only `Deserialize` and the
test reload reach it, the assumption that made its records-only
derivation look safe now that there are runtime callers.

**#14** Both new balance assertions were vacuous: trusted self-send change
is bucketed as confirmed, so `unconfirmed() == 0` held before the cascade
as well as after, and deleting the cascade left them passing. Assert the
confirmed total instead — verified to fail with the removal neutered.

Also every transaction in these tests had exactly one wallet-owned
output, so the per-txid removal loops were never exercised against more
than one and a first-only filter would have passed. The cascade's tip now
pays us twice; confirmed that a `seen`-guarded first-only filter fails the
test.

…spent-marks

**#6 — abandon could delete network-settled money.** `transaction_is_settled`
and the cascade walk both gated on `is_confirmed()`, which excludes
`InstantSend`. An IS lock is final against a double spend under DIP-10, so
an IS-locked root passed the guard and IS-locked descendants were followed;
their inputs were then released and a rescan could re-credit coins the
network has irreversibly moved. Both now treat a lock as settled.

**#5 — a plain block deleted an IS-locked record.** The sweep's filter
admitted any `!is_confirmed()` record, and its gate accepts a
non-chainlocked `InBlock`, so an ordinary tip delivery unrecoverably
dropped a record the network had locked — with no reorg recovery anywhere
in the stack. Precedence is now explicit: a chainlock overrides anything,
and an IS-locked loser may only be evicted by a chainlocked arrival.

**#4 — the walk was not wallet-wide despite saying so.** It iterated
funding accounts only, skipping keys-only accounts. An asset-lock funding
transaction is recorded in *both* its funding account and the identity
account it pays, so abandoning it left the keys-account copy behind —
which makes `is_new` false on re-sighting, so the funds account never
re-records it and never re-marks its input spent. The walk and the
removal now span every account that holds records.

**#7 — the rebuild erased chainlock-pruned marks.** This PR dropped the
`cfg` gate on `rebuild_spent_outpoints` and added runtime callers, but it
derives only from live records — and under the default
`keep-finalized-transactions = off` a chainlocked spend keeps only its
txid, so its inputs live solely as marks already in the set. A wholesale
reassignment discarded them, letting a later backfill re-credit coins
spent on chain. Replaced with a targeted retain over only the outpoints
the removed records contributed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three findings, one design gap: the sweep was attached to *account*
processing, but "a competing spend just became provably dead" is a
wallet-wide fact the moment any account observes a final spend.

**#8 — the sweep never ran when the winner looked irrelevant.**
`check_core_transaction` returns before touching any account, and
relevance is computed from matching outputs and from inputs still in
`utxos` — but a recorded loser already removed the shared input. So a
winner that spends our coin and pays only external addresses matches
nothing, and the loser stayed credited. Worse, as trusted self-send
change it counts as *confirmed* and is spendable. The sweep now runs
before that gate, next to `record_observed_spends`, which is
unconditional for the same reason.

**#13 — a loser in a sibling account survived.** The per-account sweep
only visited `result.affected_accounts`, i.e. the winner's. Pooled
funding routinely puts the loser's change elsewhere — the shape this
PR's own commits call normal for asset locks. `ManagedWalletInfo::
sweep_conflicts` now asks every funds account.

**#9 — the IS-lock sweep was dead code.** The live pipeline reaches
`process_instant_send_lock` → `mark_instant_send_utxos`, which marks
UTXOs and rewrites context and had no sweep at all; the branch I had
added in `check_core_transaction` is only reachable on a first sighting
that already carries the lock. The sweep now hangs off
`mark_instant_send_utxos`, and the superseded per-account entry point
is gone.

Both new tests were confirmed to fail with the wallet-level sweep
disabled.

Hoist the repeated settled-state work out of the fixed-point loop: in the logic
around transaction_is_settled and the external_spends traversal, compute or
cache the settled status for candidate spenders once before iterating, reusing a

behavior of excluding settled spenders while allowing unsettled candidates to

Correct the comment: both live UTXOs come from the tip, not from the first link.

split is link == 2, so only chain[2] has a second change output. chain[0] has one change output at vout 1, and chain[1] spends it. The two live UTXOs at Line 2571 are chain[2] vout 1 and chain[2] vout 2. The comment states the second UTXO belongs to "the first link's second output", which the loop does not create. The comment misstates which txid exercises the multi-UTXO removal path.

**#10's mitigation.** `d3af15ed` widens trusted-self-send resolution to
the whole wallet, which files a never-broadcast phantom under *confirmed*
rather than unconfirmed. The sweep cannot clear that shape — it needs a
competing final spend to prove the loser dead, and a transaction nobody
ever saw has no competitor — so `abandon_transaction` is the only path
that reaches it. Left as a `ManagedWalletInfo` method it was reachable
only by a caller already holding the info; `WalletManager::
abandon_transaction` makes it a first-class entry point for the layer
that owns broadcast policy, alongside the existing per-wallet operations.

The underlying gap — key-wallet has no `fInMempool` equivalent, so trust
is a structural check with no acceptance signal — is pre-existing and
wants its own design pass. This does not close it; it makes the one
remedy for its worst outcome callable.

**#11.** `apply_abandon`'s "a rescan can rediscover them" holds only
while the funding record is live. A chainlock-finalized funding
transaction keeps just its txid, so `has_transaction` stays true,
`is_new` stays false, and `confirm_transaction` returns before
`update_utxos` — the only production insert site. The coin does not come
back. Documented at the promise, and pinned by a test so the boundary
cannot drift silently. Fixing it needs a rescan deep enough to re-fetch
the block, which is above this layer.
