TL;DR

When a payment's confirmation couldn't be verified, the app used to tell you to wait and check your balance yourself — and then never mention it again. Now it keeps watching that payment on your behalf and tells you the real outcome once the network actually decides: a plain "Your transaction is confirmed." the moment it lands, or a pointer to your transaction history if it's still unconfirmed after a while. You never have to go looking for the answer.

User story

As a user who just sent a payment that came back with an unverifiable confirmation, I want the app to tell me the real outcome once it's known, so that I don't have to manually check my balance or transaction history to find out whether my money moved.

Scenario

Actual behavior (before this PR, since #961): the app shows "Your transaction was sent but the confirmation could not be verified. Wait a moment, then refresh your balance before sending it again." — and then says nothing further, ever. The user has to notice the message, remember to go check, and interpret the transaction history themselves.

Expected behavior (after this PR): the app keeps watching that specific payment in the background. The moment the network takes it (an InstantSend lock, or a mined block), the message is replaced with "Your transaction is confirmed." — no action needed. If it's still unconfirmed after eleven minutes, the message changes once to point at the transaction history and warn against sending again in the meantime; the watch keeps going, so a later confirmation still resolves it correctly. The app never claims a payment failed — the Dash network has no way to say that, and guessing would risk telling someone it's safe to resend when it isn't.

This PR also closes a gap #961 missed: creating an asset lock (used by identity registration/top-up funding) still gave the old "please retry" advice on the same kind of ambiguous outcome. That's fixed here too.

Detailed discussion

Follow-up to #961, which fixed the wording of the ambiguous-broadcast error but left the app permanently dead-ending on it. This closes the loop with the mechanism DET already had rather than building new plumbing:

  • TaskError::TransactionConfirmationUnknown now carries an Option<Txid>Some on the one path where the broadcasting code holds the id locally (WalletBackend::send_payment, which also covers DashPay "send to contact" — same code path), None on the upstream orchestrators (identity registration/top-up, platform-address funding, asset-lock creation) that build and broadcast their funding transaction internally and expose no id to watch. Those paths are unchanged by this PR beyond the F-1 fix below.
  • A new per-frame PendingConfirmation reconciler (src/app/reconcilers.rs, alongside the existing ConnectionBanner/MigrationReconciler/SpvBlockReconciler pattern) adopts the banner and polls the wallet's own already-event-sourced display snapshot (SnapshotStore::transaction_confirmation_any) every 2s for that txid to reach an InstantSend lock or a mined block with a known height.
  • The height check matters: dash-spv injects a broadcast transaction into its own local mempool before any peer verdict arrives, so mere presence in the snapshot at a "mined" tier without a height is not trustworthy evidence — the predicate (network_took_transaction in src/app.rs) guards against that explicitly, with a unit test (a_mined_tier_without_a_height_keeps_waiting).
  • No synthetic "failed" verdict is ever produced. Modern Dash Core has removed the wire-level reject signal, so an invalid transaction and a slow one are indistinguishable from the client's perspective — this is architecturally verified, not a guess (see the linked architecture plan for the source trail).
  • F-1 fix folded in: create_asset_lock_proof (src/wallet_backend/payments.rs) was still routing every broadcast failure through the generic WalletBackend envelope, so CreateAssetLock/CreateTopUpAssetLock kept giving the "please retry" advice fix(wallet): stop advising a retry when a broadcast outcome is unknown #961 was written to eliminate. Now routed through the same classifier.

Full architecture plan (source-verified against this repo and its dash-spv/platform-wallet git deps): see the design doc Nagatha (architect) produced before implementation — happy to attach/paste on request; kept out of the repo since it's a working doc, not durable project documentation.

Out of scope, with reasons (see docs/user-stories.md SND-018 and the architecture plan for the full rationale):

  • Identity registration/top-up, platform-address funding, shielded flows — all blocked upstream (no txid crosses the seam); filed as a future upstream-contribution item, not downscoped for convenience.
  • Gating the Send button while a watch is open (an immediate resend currently fails at build time with a generic "could not assemble a payment" message rather than "your previous payment's funds are still held") — distinct UX change, tracked separately.

⚠️ Before this PR leaves draft: one open risk (R-1 in the architecture plan) needs a live-network check that couldn't be done in this environment (no funded testnet wallet) — whether a locally-injected, never-relayed transaction could ever appear at a Confirmed tier in DET's snapshot without a real network verdict, which would let the new banner falsely confirm a payment that never landed. Code-side mitigation is in place and unit-tested, but wants a live confirmation. A scenario is written up at docs/gui-testing/scenarios/pending-broadcast-auto-reconcile.md (also closes R-4: does the watch resolve for a purely-outgoing send with no change output?) — run it before marking ready for review.

Testing

  • cargo test --all-features (narrow scope: pending_, map_core_broadcast_error, transaction_confirmation, plus the extended fix(wallet): stop advising a retry when a broadcast outcome is unknown #961 test) — all passing, including 5 new kittest reconciler cases and the phantom-height guard test.
  • cargo clippy --all-features --bin dash-evo-tool -- -D warnings — clean.
  • cargo fmt --all — clean.
  • Live-network GUI check — outstanding, see above.

`TransactionConfirmationUnknown` told the user a payment might already be
on the network but discarded the one thing that could later settle the
question. `send_payment` holds the signed transaction at the failure
site, so the id now rides along on the error; the upstream orchestrators
that build and broadcast their funding transaction internally surface
`None`, which states the boundary in the type instead of a comment.

Also routes `create_asset_lock_proof` through the same classifier. It
mapped every broadcast failure to the generic wallet-backend envelope,
whose "please retry in a moment" is exactly the double-spend advice #961
set out to eliminate — upstream keeps both the UTXO reservation and the
resumable Built row when that broadcast is ambiguous, so the retry it
invited could not have gone through anyway.

…pshot

DET has event-sourced every status upgrade since the platform-wallet
migration, but nothing could ask the store about one specific
transaction outside a `#[cfg(test)]` seam. `transaction_confirmation`
answers "did that payment land?" off the already-published display
snapshot, so the answer can never disagree with the history row the user
is looking at.

The reply pairs the status with the block height that backs it: dash-spv
injects a broadcast transaction into its own mempool before any peer
verdict, so presence proves nothing and a mined tier without a height
is not evidence a caller should spend a funds message on.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…kes it

A payment whose broadcast came back unverified left the user holding a
"wait a moment, then refresh" banner and no way to learn the answer
except by checking by hand. The app already knew: every status upgrade
has been event-sourced into the display snapshot since the platform-
wallet migration. Nobody was asking the question on the user's behalf.

`PendingConfirmation` adopts that banner and watches the snapshot for
its transaction to reach an InstantSend lock or a mined block, then
replaces it with a plain confirmation. It sits beside the other per-frame
reconcilers rather than in `SendScreen`, because the watch has to outlive
navigating away from Send.

Presence in the snapshot is deliberately not the predicate: dash-spv
injects a broadcast transaction into its own mempool before any peer
verdict, so an `Unconfirmed` row appears even for one no peer accepted.
A mined tier without a block height is refused for the same reason — a
funds message deserves evidence, not a tier.

No failure verdict is ever synthesised. Modern Dash Core has no rejection
signal on the wire, so an invalid transaction and a slow one look
identical; a timeout dressed up as "failed" would eventually tell someone
their money was safe to send again when it was not. Instead the copy
changes once at eleven minutes — a full dash-spv rebroadcast cycle plus
several block windows — to point at the transaction-history row, which
tracks the same data live. The watch continues, so a late confirmation
still has the last word.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Nagatha's architecture plan flagged one genuine open risk (R-1): whether a
locally-injected, never-relayed transaction could appear at a Confirmed tier
in DET's snapshot without a real network verdict, which would let the new
pending-confirmation banner falsely confirm a payment that never landed. No
funded testnet wallet was available to close it during implementation.

Adds a docs/gui-testing scenario to run before this PR leaves draft, and a
TODO pointing at it from the code-side mitigation (network_took_transaction's
height.is_some() guard). Also folds in R-4 (does the watch resolve for a
purely-outgoing send with no wallet-owned change output?).

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds transaction confirmation lookup and pending-payment monitoring. Ambiguous payment broadcasts carry a transaction ID to the application. The UI updates banners after genuine confirmation, shows an eleven-minute stale warning, restores evicted pending banners, and resets watches on network changes.

Changes

Pending confirmation monitoring

Layer / File(s) Summary
Confirmation state and wallet lookup
src/model/wallet/mod.rs, src/wallet_backend/snapshot.rs, src/wallet_backend/mod.rs
Adds confirmation state with optional block height. Snapshot lookup returns the strongest state across loaded wallets.
Ambiguous broadcast error propagation

Tracks ambiguous payments, polls confirmation state, updates persistent banners, applies stale warnings, restores evicted banners, caps watches, and resets watches on network changes.
Confirmation behavior documentation
docs/gui-testing/scenarios/pending-broadcast-auto-reconcile.md, docs/user-stories.md, CHANGELOG.md
Documents confirmation criteria, stale-warning behavior, GUI validation steps, concurrent watches, banner restoration, and the absence of inferred failures.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 90d7d

This change improves automatic payment outcome reporting, but unresolved payments can still lose their confirmation or resend warning after banner eviction, app interruption, or network switching, and mixed wallet history can delay a valid confirmation. These bounded correctness and safety issues require owner follow-up before the PR is merge-ready.

Preliminary review — Codex only

The transaction-ID propagation and snapshot confirmation predicate are well structured, but the new reconciler has three funds-status blockers: shared banner handles can erase unresolved warnings, late task results can be attached to the wrong network, and the stale message asserts history state that the snapshot does not establish. These issues must be fixed before the automatic confirmation flow can reliably report each payment's outcome.

In `src/app/reconcilers.rs`:
- [BLOCKING] src/app/reconcilers.rs:909-918: Keep banners independent across watched transactions
  `MessageBanner::set_global` deduplicates identical text and returns handles containing the same key, while every ambiguous transaction uses the same message. If two watches share that key and one confirms, this branch clears the only ambiguous banner even though the other watch remains unresolved with a handle to a nonexistent banner. `raise_stale` has the same problem for stale warnings, and eviction clears the shared ambiguous banner for all retained watches; a txid-less ambiguous operation can also lose its warning when a watched payment resolves. Give each transaction independent banner identity, or manage one aggregate banner whose lifecycle and wording account for every unresolved watch, and add a mixed-verdict regression test with simultaneous transactions.

In `src/app.rs`:
- [BLOCKING] src/app.rs:2899-2903: Bind late confirmation watches to their originating network
  `handle_backend_task_with_context` runs the task against the `AppContext` captured at dispatch, but `BackendTaskContext::Other` does not retain that context's network. If a payment dispatched on one network returns `TransactionConfirmationUnknown` after the user switches networks, `finalize_network_switch` has already reset the old watches and this arm creates a new watch on the active network. Subsequent polls inspect the wrong wallet snapshot, so the original transaction cannot resolve and the active network eventually shows an unrelated stale warning. Preserve the originating network in the result or watch, then either reconcile through that network's cached context or suppress the completion when it no longer matches `chosen_network`.
- [BLOCKING] src/app.rs:830: Do not claim every stale watch has a Pending history row
  `pending_step` becomes stale for every non-accepted observation, including `None` and a `Confirmed` or `ChainLocked` record without a height. The snapshot API defines `None` as no loaded wallet having seen the transaction, so no history row is guaranteed; records in the latter states render as Confirmed or ChainLocked rather than Pending. The banner therefore states both an outcome and a visible history status that the app cannot establish. Keep the wording at the same uncertainty level as the available evidence and direct the user to the sending wallet without promising that a Pending row exists.

Comment thread src/app/reconcilers.rs
Comment thread src/app.rs
Comment thread src/app.rs Outdated
Three review findings on the auto-reconcile banner, all living in the
same handful of lines.

Every ambiguous-outcome banner is literally one banner: `set_global` keys
them by exact text, and each watch raised the same
`TransactionConfirmationUnknown` copy. The first verdict — confirmed,
gone stale, or evicted at the cap — therefore cleared the message out
from under every other payment still waiting, and out from under the
identity and asset-lock outcomes, which carry no transaction id and share
that text. `PendingConfirmation` now owns the two banners instead of each
watch holding a handle, and retires one only once nothing still speaks
through it.

A late "outcome unknown" carried no network. `CoreTask::SendWalletPayment`
fell through to `BackendTaskContext::Other`, so an error arriving after a
network switch opened a watch against the network now selected, whose
snapshot has never heard of the transaction: it could only go stale and
then hand the user transaction-history advice for the wrong wallet. The
context records the network at dispatch instead — the task cannot name it
itself, as a `Wallet` carries no network and its extended public key
cannot tell Devnet or Regtest from Testnet — and a mismatch keeps the
banner without opening a watch. The DashPay contact send broadcasts
inside its own task, so it is stamped there too.

The stale copy claimed the transaction "is listed as Pending in this
wallet's transaction history". That copy is reached for any observation
that is not a confirmation, including one no loaded wallet has seen at
all — no history row to be listed in — and a mined tier with no block
height, which the wallet would render under another word entirely. It now
says only what the app can check.

Preliminary review — Codex only

The network-attribution and stale-wording changes fix two prior blockers, and the aggregate ownership model prevents direct clearing of a banner still needed by another transaction. One blocking lifecycle bug remains: capacity eviction can remove a required ambiguous or stale warning while the reconciler retains a dead handle and therefore never recreates the warning.

- [BLOCKING] src/app/reconcilers.rs:975-990: Keep banners independent across watched transactions
  (existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash-evo-tool/pull/964#discussion_r3871394613)
  `sync_banners` treats `self.ambiguous.is_some()` and `self.stale.is_some()` as proof that the corresponding banner still exists, but a `BannerHandle` remains stored after `MessageBanner::set_global` evicts its banner at the five-banner capacity. For example, if the shared ambiguous warning is followed by four persistent banners, confirming one of two watched payments adds the success banner at line 976 and evicts the still-needed ambiguous warning. The sibling watch remains unresolved, but later polls retain the dead `ambiguous` handle and cannot recreate its warning. An evicted stale warning has the same permanent-loss path. Track actual banner presence or prevent these funds-status banners from being capacity-evicted, and cover the mixed-verdict case with a capacity-bound regression test.

…screen

The global banner list shows five messages at once and evicts the oldest to
make room. PendingConfirmation held a BannerHandle for the ambiguous-outcome
and stale-advice banners and treated `is_some()` as proof they were still on
screen — but a handle outlives its banner. Four unrelated notifications
during a wait (connection, migration, a per-task success) silently pushed the
"your payment was sent but could not be verified" warning out, `sync_banners`
kept believing it was showing, and the user lost the one message telling them
not to send again until a network switch or restart.

`is_some()` cannot answer this, and neither can mere absence: a banner the
user dismissed is also absent, and resurrecting that one would turn a warning
they have already read into a nag they cannot close. MessageBanner now
records the keys it drops at capacity, so BannerHandle::was_evicted()
separates "the cap took it" from "someone closed it". sync_banners re-raises
only on the former.

Restoring the ambiguous banner needs its copy, which originates in the error
arm; PendingConfirmation captures it from the handle at adopt time via
BannerHandle::text() rather than being told it separately, so the restored
message is byte-identical to the one displayed. A restored banner loses only
its collapsible technical details, which are diagnostic and already logged.

The poll loop also returned early whenever no watch was open, so a claim with
no transaction id to watch — identity registration, top-up, Platform-address
funding, asset locks — had nothing ticking to notice its banner had gone.
That claim is the one no verdict can ever answer, which made the loss
permanent. It now ticks for its banner alone.

Regression tests cover eviction and restoration of each banner, both together
on a mixed verdict, the watchless claim, and dismissal staying dismissed.

Preliminary review — Codex only

The aggregate reconciler, network attribution, and intentional handling of transaction-ID-less outcomes are correct at the exact head. One blocking lifecycle defect remains: bounded eviction history can forget a required payment warning before reconciliation, leaving the unresolved warning permanently absent in violation of SND-018.

In `src/ui/components/message_banner.rs`:
- [BLOCKING] src/ui/components/message_banner.rs:18-21: Keep banners independent across watched transactions
  Eviction attribution expires after `EVICTED_KEY_MEMORY` entries even though a `BannerHandle` can remain owned by `PendingConfirmation` indefinitely. Starting with an unresolved payment banner, 25 distinct notifications are enough to evict that banner and then perform 20 further evictions, removing its key from the history. `AppState::update` drains all queued task results before calling `pending_confirmation.update`, so this entire sequence can occur before `sync_banners` inspects the retained handle; it can also occur while the two-second poll throttle suppresses synchronization. The handle is then not live, but `was_evicted()` permanently returns false, so the ambiguous or stale warning is never recreated despite the unresolved claim. Preserve the lifecycle cause for as long as the handle exists—for example, through state shared by `BannerState` and `BannerHandle` that records eviction versus dismissal—or otherwise make eviction attribution durable, and add a regression test that exceeds `EVICTED_KEY_MEMORY` before reconciliation.

Eviction attribution lived in a bounded log of recently-dropped banner
keys held in egui context data. A handle whose banner was evicted, and
then outlived twenty further evictions, aged out of that log: was_evicted
turned permanently false even though the handle was still held and the
banner still gone.

PendingConfirmation gates its re-raise on exactly that answer, so an
unresolved payment warning could be lost for good. The window is real —
AppState::update drains every queued task result before the reconciler
ticks, and the two-second poll throttle can suppress a tick for longer
still, so a burst of unrelated notifications fits between the eviction
and the question.

Move the cause onto the banner itself: a flag shared by BannerState and
every BannerHandle naming it, set when the cap drops the banner. It lives
exactly as long as someone can still ask, so no amount of later churn can
forget it, and the bounded log goes away.

The reconciler raised the confirmation with a bare `set_global` on
`MessageType::Success`, which carries the default five-second
auto-dismiss, and dropped the handle. `sync_banners` retires the
persistent ambiguous warning on the very same tick, and the frame loop
schedules an unconditional repaint every second, so the timer ran with
nobody watching: roughly six seconds after the network took the payment
the screen was blank again.

That inverts the point of the feature. The watch exists precisely
because the user walked away — SND-018 has it surviving the Send screen,
and the manual scenario tells the tester to navigate away before the
verdict lands. Someone who stepped out came back to no warning and no
confirmation, worse off than before the watch existed, when the warning
at least had auto-dismiss disabled and stayed put.

Hold the confirmation in the reconciler alongside the two banners it
already owns and raise it through `raise_persistent`, so the answer to a
funds question is exactly as durable as the question was, and drop it on
a network switch for the same reason the watches are dropped.

The existing confirmation test never advances the clock, so it could not
see this. The new test asserts on the countdown annotation a banner
renders only while a dismiss timer is pending, which pins the timer's
absence without waiting five seconds; a control case on an ordinary
Success banner keeps that assertion honest if the annotation changes.

Three defects around the same warning, all found reviewing the watch
that raises it.

`update()` returned before `sync_banners` whenever the wallet backend
was not wired yet, so no evicted warning was restored during boot or a
network switch — and `last_poll` had already been stamped, putting the
next attempt a full interval away. Those are precisely the windows that
flood the banner list with startup, migration and connection messages,
so the restore was missing exactly when it was needed most. Restoring a
banner needs no snapshot, and the `watches.is_empty()` branch three
lines above already proved the two are separable.

`apply()` reconciled the banners and only then raised the confirmation.
Raising evicts the oldest entry once the list is full, so the
confirmation could knock out the warning that `sync_banners` had
restored one statement earlier, leaving it to blink back two seconds
later. Raise first and reconcile last, so a full list costs the message
that reassures rather than the one that guards the user's money.

`transaction_confirmation_any` ranked candidates on status alone. The
reader's evidence test demands a height at the mined tiers, and
iteration order over the snapshot map is arbitrary, so two copies at the
same status could hand back the height-less one and read as "not
confirmed yet" while the evidence sat in the other wallet's history.
Unreachable today, since status and height are set together, but the
guard exists precisely because a mis-tiered record is anticipated.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`a_dismissed_banner_is_not_reported_as_evicted` put its question to an
`Option` it had just emptied. `Option::was_evicted` is `is_some_and(..)`,
so a `None` answers `false` whatever the eviction machinery does — the
test passed with the ledger intact, and would pass just as happily with
it deleted outright.

That guard is not incidental. It is the one asserting that restoring an
evicted message does not also resurrect one the user deliberately
closed, which is the difference between a banner that comes back and a
banner nobody can get rid of. It has been inert since it was written.

Keep a cloned handle as a live witness across the dismissal and ask that
instead, plus assert the dismissal really did take the banner off the
list so the second question is not answered by an absent premise.
Confirmed the test now fails as intended by reducing `was_evicted` to
`!is_live()` — the naive reading it exists to rule out.

Uses only `Clone`, `is_live` and `was_evicted`, which are unchanged in
both the key-log and the shared-flag shape of this module, so the body
stands whichever lands.

`PENDING_CONFIRMED_MESSAGE` was the fixed singular "Your transaction is
confirmed." `apply()` collapsed every confirmation in a tick into one
bool and raised one banner from it, and `set_global` dedupes by exact
text, so any number of confirmed payments produced a single message that
named none of them.

The feature is built for concurrency — `MAX_PENDING_WATCHES` is 8, and
SND-018 promises that answering one payment leaves the others' warnings
standing. It delivers that for the warning. The answer had no subject.
A user with two payments in limbo saw an unattributed confirmation
beside an unattributed "could not be verified", with nothing to say
which was which: read it against the wrong payment and they resend one
that already landed, read the surviving warning as stale and they resend
the other. Both pay the same person twice, which is the outcome the
watch exists to prevent.

Give each resolved watch its own banner naming its transaction. The id
is shortened through `shorten_id`, already used on hex elsewhere, so the
head and tail still match by eye against the full id in the transaction
history the stale copy sends the user to. CLAUDE.md § Error messages
rule 6 admits identifiers into user copy for exactly this purpose, and
the sentence stays one i18n unit with the id as a placeholder.

Confirmed both new assertions fail against the old shared string: the
copy test on two ids collapsing to one message, and the two-watch test
on the confirmation being readable as the payment still in the air.

Amount and recipient would read better than an id, but neither is
plumbed through `track` today; that stays open.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep confirmation results available after banner-cap eviction.

These handles only allow cleanup during reset. When five later unique banners arrive, MessageBanner evicts an older confirmation. sync_banners never restores confirmation banners, so a user who returns later can lose the answer even though this flow marks it persistent. Store enough confirmation state to restore an evicted result without restoring a manually dismissed one, or present durable confirmations outside the capacity-bound banner list.

Preliminary review — Codex only

The shared per-banner lifecycle state fixes the prior bounded eviction-attribution defect, and both targeted long-burst regressions pass. Two in-scope blockers remain: confirmation answers can still be lost to the five-banner capacity, and no-change outgoing payments cannot observe an InstantSend lock through the snapshot event seam.
Source: Codex reviewer backend gpt-5.6-sol (general and rust-quality lanes); final verifier backend gpt-5.6-sol. Orchestration-only: openclaw-agent/cliproxy/gpt-5.6-sol (not reviewer evidence).

Validated blockers were found in the Codex precheck. Opus is deferred until a fresh Codex revalidation clears the blocker gate.
