Field failure (MO-995 — Andrei's sync outage, both devices)

During fresh-wallet setup the Kotlin SDK's createWallet failed with UserNotAuthenticatedException from the Android keystore — a setUnlockedDeviceRequired key denied because Keystore2 believed the device was locked (sometimes falsely, with the screen demonstrably unlocked). The SDK rolled its wallet back cleanly, but the app then stranded the user with no sync engine at all, permanently:

  1. CutoverCoordinator commits DUAL_RUNNING -> CUT_OVER at fresh-wallet setup before the bind ever runs (log: cutover state DUAL_RUNNING -> CUT_OVER (fresh-wallet setup (restore/new))), so dashj is held (Phase 5d cutover gate: dashjEngineMayStart=false … dashjHeldByCutover=true).
  2. SdkWalletBinder is single-shot per trigger — one failed pass (SDK wallet binding pass failed; dashj behavior unchanged) never reruns, while CutoverUiDataService's 5 s wait loop waits for "a SINGLE bound SDK wallet" forever without ever re-invoking the bind.
  3. Nothing is surfaced: the Network monitor shows a dead "Not started" / "Network engine not started" (L1SyncStage.IDLE).

The three changes

1. Hold-then-rollback on the cutover commit

Deferring the fresh-wallet commit to bind success is not possible in this design: the commit is what routes the fresh-wallet launch (BlockchainServiceImpl resolves the engine gate once at service onCreate, right after setWallet, while the first bind pass only runs when platform sync starts) — a deferred commit would start dashj on every fresh wallet and then land mid-launch, leaving both SPV engines live for the session. So the commit stays immediate and the escape hatch is CutoverCoordinator.rollbackForFailedBind: after 5 consecutive failed bind passes the gate rolls CUT_OVER back to DUAL_RUNNING, and BlockchainServiceImpl — which now observes CUTOVER_STATE live (mirroring the existing dashj-diagnostic observer) — un-holds and starts the dashj fallback engine mid-launch. The rollback is skipped while the device is provably locked (KeyguardManager.isDeviceLocked): a genuinely-locked keystore denial is expected, heals on unlock, and must not flip engines on every locked-screen background start.

Invariant: the gate always ends with dashj allowed OR the SDK wallet bound — never both held.

2. Re-armable bind

SdkWalletBinder now tracks the failed-pass state (bindRetryPending: StateFlow<Boolean> + consecutiveBindFailures; a throw that leaves no bound wallet arms it, any pass that binds clears it, gate-skipped passes count neither way). The new SdkBindRetryService:

  • is driven by CutoverUiDataService's existing 5 s bound-wallet wait loop (which runs exactly while the cutover holds dashj and nothing is bound — the stranded state) and re-runs the bind on a capped 5s/15s/30s/60s then hourly ladder, reset on app foreground;
  • registers a runtime ACTION_USER_PRESENT receiver (RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED) that fires an immediate bind retry on the next device unlock — the exact heal condition for the keystore false-locked class.

3. Surface the failure

While a bind failure is pending retry, the Network monitor renders the new L1SyncStage.SETUP_RETRYING: stage "Wallet setup incomplete — retrying", connection row "Unlock your device to finish wallet setup" — instead of the dead "Not started". IDLE-only override (any real scan progress means the wallet bound and the honest stage wins); the dashj regime ignores the flag so post-rollback dashj progress renders normally. No new UI surfaces.

Test evidence

./gradlew :wallet:compile_testNet3DebugKotlin — BUILD SUCCESSFUL.

./gradlew :wallet:test_testNet3DebugUnitTest scoped to the touched classes — 235 tests, 0 failures:

  • SdkBindRetryServiceTest (new) — 13 tests: the ladder, backoff gating, foreground reset, unlock-receiver arming + immediate heal, rollback threshold, rollback held while provably locked, and an end-to-end replay of the outage over a real binder + real coordinator asserting the never-both-held invariant (persistent failure ⇒ dashjEngineMayStart()==true; heal ⇒ cutover stays committed).
  • CutoverCoordinatorTest — 26 (3 new: rollback from CUT_OVER, no-op from DUAL_RUNNING, never regresses SETTLED)
  • CutoverUiDataServiceTest — 80 (1 new: the wait loop consults the retry every poll and stops once bound)
  • SdkWalletBinderTest — 70 (regression, unchanged)
  • L1SyncStatusServiceTest — 38 (3 new: SETUP_RETRYING replaces dead IDLE; real progress beats the flag; dashj regime unaffected)
  • NetworkMonitorViewModelTest — 8 (stage/connection string mappings incl. the new stage)

Scope note

The SDK-side hardening — a typed keystore error from createWallet plus an internal retry — is a deliberately separate follow-up; this PR is the app-side containment that guarantees the user always has a working sync engine and a truthful status readout.

    • Added coverage for retry timing, recovery, rollback protection, and status reporting.

… succeeds

Field outage (both of Andrei's devices): during fresh-wallet setup the
Kotlin SDK's createWallet failed with UserNotAuthenticatedException from
the Android keystore (a setUnlockedDeviceRequired key denied because
Keystore2 believed the device was locked — sometimes falsely). The SDK
rolled its wallet back cleanly, but the app then stranded the user with
NO sync engine forever:

- CutoverCoordinator commits DUAL_RUNNING -> CUT_OVER at fresh-wallet
  setup BEFORE the bind ever runs, so dashj is held;
- SdkWalletBinder is single-shot per trigger — one failed pass never
  reruns, while CutoverUiDataService's 5 s wait loop only OBSERVES the
  bound state without ever re-invoking the bind;
- nothing is surfaced: the Network monitor shows a dead
  "Not started" / "Network engine not started" (L1SyncStage.IDLE).

Three changes:

1. Hold-then-rollback on the cutover. The fresh commit cannot be
   deferred to bind success (it is what routes the fresh-wallet launch;
   deferring would leave both SPV engines live mid-launch), so the
   escape hatch is CutoverCoordinator.rollbackForFailedBind: after 5
   consecutive failed bind passes (skipped while the device is provably
   locked) the gate rolls CUT_OVER back to DUAL_RUNNING and
   BlockchainServiceImpl — which now observes CUTOVER_STATE live —
   un-holds and starts the dashj fallback engine mid-launch. Invariant:
   the gate always ends with dashj allowed OR the SDK wallet bound,
   never both held.

2. Re-armable bind. SdkWalletBinder tracks the failed-pass state
   (bindRetryPending + consecutiveBindFailures); the new
   SdkBindRetryService re-invokes the bind on a capped 5s/15s/30s/60s-
   then-hourly ladder (reset on app foreground), driven by the existing
   CutoverUiDataService wait loop, and registers a runtime
   ACTION_USER_PRESENT receiver (RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED) that fires an
   immediate retry on device unlock — the exact heal condition for the
   keystore false-locked class.

3. Surface the failure. A pending bind retry renders as the new
   L1SyncStage.SETUP_RETRYING in the Network monitor ("Wallet setup
   incomplete — retrying" / "Unlock your device to finish wallet
   setup") instead of the dead IDLE readout.

The SDK-side hardening (typed keystore error + internal createWallet
retry) is a deliberately separate follow-up.

Walkthrough

The wallet now retries failed SDK wallet binding with backoff, foreground and unlock triggers, and cutover rollback. Sync status reports SETUP_RETRYING, with corresponding network-monitor messages. Live services can restart dashj fallback after rollback.

Failed SDK binds can change CUT_OVER to DUAL_RUNNING. Cutover polling invokes retries. BlockchainServiceImpl observes rollback state and restarts the dashj peergroup when eligible.
Setup retry status presentation

SDK-owned idle wallets with pending bind retries use SETUP_RETRYING. The view model maps this stage to setup-retry labels and the unlock instruction. Active scan progress and dashj-owned wallets retain their existing stages.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 56197

The retry and rollback changes address the stranded-wallet behavior, but merge readiness still needs owner follow-up because the threshold test may miss a late rollback and a hung wallet-bind attempt could prevent future recovery retries.

214-236: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider bounding runBindPass() with a timeout.

retryInFlight is held for the whole duration of runBindPass(). If a bind pass never returns, retryInFlight stays true, every later maybeRetry and retryNowInBackground call becomes a no-op, and maybeRollBackCutover() is never reached. The cutover then keeps dashj held with no further recovery path for the process lifetime.

A bounded wait keeps the ladder and the rollback consultation alive.

♻️ Proposed timeout around the bind pass
             runBindPass()
+            // A hung pass must not hold the single-flight guard forever:
+            // that would disable the ladder AND the rollback consultation.
             if (!bindRetryPending()) {

Replace the call with a bounded wait, for example:

private suspend fun retryOnce(trigger: String) {
    if (!retryInFlight.compareAndSet(false, true)) return
    try {
        nextRetryAtMs = now() + retryDelayMs(retriesAttempted)
        retriesAttempted++
        log.info(
            "SDK bind retry {} ({}): re-running the wallet bind pass " +
                "({} consecutive failure(s) so far)",
            retriesAttempted, trigger, consecutiveBindFailures()
        )
        val completed = withTimeoutOrNull(BIND_PASS_TIMEOUT_MS) { runBindPass() } != null
        if (!completed) {
            log.warn("SDK bind pass did not finish within {}ms; treating it as a failed pass", BIND_PASS_TIMEOUT_MS)
        }
        if (!bindRetryPending()) {
            log.info("SDK bind retry {} ({}) succeeded — the wallet is bound", retriesAttempted, trigger)
            resetBackoff()
            return
        }
        maybeRollBackCutover()
    } finally {
        retryInFlight.set(false)
    }
}

Add the constant next to ROLLBACK_AFTER_CONSECUTIVE_FAILURES.

Resolves the CutoverUiDataServiceTest conflict: both sides added a parameter
to the buildService helper and a named argument to the service it constructs
(this branch's resolveMetadata row join, #1543's MO-995 retryBind wait-loop
consultation). Additive on both sides — kept both.
