Walkthrough

This pull request adds legacy wallet migration to SQLite descriptor wallets. It defines migration result types and wallet loader APIs, updates SQLite migration behavior, and adds a Qt workflow with passphrase handling, confirmation, asynchronous execution, and wallet replacement. The File menu action is enabled for legacy wallets. Functional tests cover default wallets, direct wallet files, watch-only wallets, blank wallets, and backend selection.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 56a61

A failed wallet reload can currently be reported as a successful migration, leaving the migrated wallet unavailable and potentially crashing the Qt interface. This correctness issue should be fixed before merging.

In `@doc/managing-wallets.md`:
- Around line 125-144: Confirm whether documentation updates were intended for
this backport: if the backport explicitly requested doc changes, add a note to
the PR description referencing that approval and keep the edits in the doc
(references: "Migrating Legacy Wallets to Descriptor Wallets", migratewallet,
restorewallet); otherwise revert the changes to doc/managing-wallets.md (lines
introducing migratewallet documentation) and move them to a separate
documentation-only follow-up PR so this backport contains only code changes.

In `@src/wallet/wallet.cpp`:
- Around line 4629-4630: UpdateWalletSetting is being called before helper
wallets (e.g. *_watchonly and *_solvables) are fully committed, causing
load_on_startup entries to remain if a later step fails and the wallet
directories are rolled back; move the UpdateWalletSetting calls (the ones that
set load_on_startup=true) so they execute only after the wallet commit/migration
has completed successfully (i.e., after all filesystem operations and rollback
points are passed) and do the same change for the other instance noted (the
second call around the other occurrence), ensuring settings are updated only on
successful commit of the new wallet directories.
- Around line 4794-4796: The backup copy operation in the wallet
migration/rollback code can attempt to copy a file onto itself for direct-file
wallets (where backup_path and temp_backup_location resolve to the same path),
causing copy_file to fail; update the logic around the uses of
temp_backup_location and backup_path (the copy_file calls around the code that
uses GetWalletDir(), backup_filename, and the rollback path) to guard against
this by checking if fs::equivalent(backup_path, temp_backup_location) or
backup_path == temp_backup_location and skipping the copy (or generating a
unique temp name) when they refer to the same file; apply the same guard to the
later copy_file occurrence(s) referenced near the other block (around the code
at the second copy_file use).
- Around line 4040-4041: The exception currently echoes the full seed phrase
when CMnemonic::Check(mnemonic) fails; remove the sensitive mnemonic from the
error text and throw a generic message instead (e.g., change the throw in the
CMnemonic::Check failure branch to use only __func__ and a non-sensitive string
like ": invalid mnemonic" without including the mnemonic variable or any
backticks). Ensure the change is applied where the throw is raised (the block
that calls CMnemonic::Check and constructs std::runtime_error).

In `@src/wallet/walletdb.cpp`:
- Around line 1182-1184: In EraseRecords(), the return value of
m_batch->Erase(key_data) is ignored causing EraseRecords() to always succeed;
update the loop that checks types.count(type) > 0 to capture the boolean result
of m_batch->Erase(key_data) and if it returns false, immediately return false
(or set an overall failure flag and return false at the end) so EraseRecords()
propagates delete failures back to the caller; ensure you reference the
EraseRecords() method and the m_batch->Erase(...) call when making this change.

In `@test/functional/wallet_migration.py`:
- Around line 141-143: The test currently mutates the dict returned by
basic0.getaddressinfo(new_addr) instead of checking it; replace the assignment
on basic0.getaddressinfo(new_addr)["hdkeypath"] = "m/44'/1'/0'/0/1" with a real
assertion: call info = basic0.getaddressinfo(new_addr) and assert
info["hdkeypath"] == "m/44'/1'/0'/0/1" (while keeping the existing assert not
new_addr == addr), so the test actually verifies the derived path returned for
new_addr.

P2 Badge Abort migration when passphrase entry is rejected

For encrypted wallets, dlg.exec() can return Rejected when the user cancels or closes the passphrase dialog, but this result is ignored and the code immediately removes the wallet model and starts migration with an empty passphrase. In that scenario migration fails decryption after unloading/removing the wallet from the GUI, leaving the user’s wallet closed even though they canceled; return early unless the dialog is accepted.

Yes — the relevant upstream follow-up is bitcoin-core/gui#824, specifically commit d56a450 (gui: Use wallet name for wallet migration rather than WalletModel).

That commit changes the migration passphrase flow to use AskPassphraseDialog::UnlockMigration and returns early on cancellation:

AskPassphraseDialog dlg(AskPassphraseDialog::UnlockMigration, m_parent_widget, &passphrase);
if (dlg.exec() == QDialog::Rejected) return;

So this Codex finding is real upstream-covered behavior, but it is part of the broader “migrate legacy wallets that are not loaded” GUI follow-up rather than a small standalone fix on top of gui#738.

it can't be done right now, because bitcoin-core/gui#824 depends on bitcoin#27790 which seems impossible to be done right now; I am going to prioritize it for batch 3 but it seems as non-trivial yet.

For Bitcoin Core the gap between bitcoin-core/gui#824 and bitcoin-core/gui#738 is 2 major versions btw.

P2 Badge Treat failed reload as migration failure

If the post-migration LoadWallet in wallet.cpp fails after the on-disk migration succeeds, res->wallet is left null; MakeWallet then returns a null WalletMigrationResult::wallet while this interface still reports success. The GUI success path immediately dereferences res->wallet in MigrateWalletActivity, so a reload error turns into a GUI crash instead of an error message. Please validate the reloaded wallet and propagate the load failure before returning success.

Checked the new reload finding too — it looks valid in this backport: MigrateLegacyToDescriptor() can return success with res.wallet == nullptr if the post-migration LoadWallet() fails, and the GUI success path expects a wallet.

I pushed a fix branch here: https://github.com/thepastaclaw/dash/tree/tracker-1433

It keeps the prior two Qt review fixes and also makes the reload failure fall through the existing migration cleanup/restore path instead of returning a null wallet as success. Validation: git diff --check.

Code Review

Backport batch 2 of migratewallet (bitcoin#28038, bitcoin-core/gui#738, bitcoin#26638, bitcoin#26740, plus a one-line break fix-up for bitcoin#17261). All four cherry-picks apply cleanly with appropriate Dash adaptations (string-based purpose, create_legacy_wallet blank param, Dash-style translation concatenation). Two backport-reviewer agents and the commit-history reviewers concur on clean provenance. Codex's three findings all describe behaviors that are present in the corresponding upstream commits as-shipped, so they are out of scope for a faithful backport batch.

Code Review

Policy gate: an agent-reported missing upstream prerequisite was restored as a blocking finding. This PR is a full Bitcoin backport, and omitted upstream hunks require their prerequisite PRs unless the finding is explicitly allowlisted (intentional_exclusion / policy_override). The agent's original evidence is preserved in the finding(s) below.

Prior verifier summary (overridden by policy gate): Clean batch backport of four upstream wallet-migration PRs (bitcoin#28038, gui#738, bitcoin#26638, bitcoin#26740) plus a one-line follow-up fix for bitcoin#17261. Merge resolutions are correct, Dash-specific subsystems (LLMQ/evo/CoinJoin) are untouched, and address-book adaptation handles Dash's string-based purpose model correctly. Codex flagged two UX bugs in MigrateWalletActivity (ignored AskPassphraseDialog result; missing RPCConsole::setCurrentWallet connection) — both are upstream gui#738 behavior, not merge artifacts, so per backport-review rules they belong upstream not here. The two unused declarations (WalletController::migrateWallet, m_migrate_wallet_menu) are already called out in the PR description as gui#824 follow-up.

- [BLOCKING] src/wallet/wallet.cpp:4593-4596: Missing prerequisite: bitcoin#27217
  bitcoin#28038 was upstreamed on top of bitcoin#27217, which replaced address-book purpose strings with `wallet::AddressPurpose`. Evidence: upstream's pre-28038 `src/wallet/wallet.h` has `std::optional<AddressPurpose> purpose` and the upstream #28038 hunk persists it with `if (addr_book_data.purpose) batch.WritePurpose(address, PurposeToString(*addr_book_data.purpose));`. Dash's corresponding pre/backported state still has `std::string purpose` with the sentinel value `"unknown"`, so this cherry-pick rewrites the hunk to `auto purpose{addr_book_data.purpose}; if (purpose != "unknown") batch.WritePurpose(address, purpose);`. That is a workaround for the missing upstream API/type rather than a Dash-specific divergence. bitcoin#27217 introduced the missing wallet-side enum conversion; its GUI registration follow-up is bitcoin-core/gui#726.

🔴 Blocking: Missing prerequisite: bitcoin#27217

bitcoin#28038 was upstreamed on top of bitcoin#27217, which replaced address-book purpose strings with wallet::AddressPurpose. Evidence: upstream's pre-28038 src/wallet/wallet.h has std::optional<AddressPurpose> purpose and the upstream bitcoin#28038 hunk persists it with if (addr_book_data.purpose) batch.WritePurpose(address, PurposeToString(*addr_book_data.purpose));. Dash's corresponding pre/backported state still has std::string purpose with the sentinel value "unknown", so this cherry-pick rewrites the hunk to auto purpose{addr_book_data.purpose}; if (purpose != "unknown") batch.WritePurpose(address, purpose);.

P2 Badge Keep rollback paths distinct for plain-file wallets

When migrating a legacy wallet stored as a top-level BDB file, the backup is created directly in GetWalletDir(), while the failure cleanup computes temp_backup_location as that same directory plus the same filename. If DoMigration() fails after the SQLite conversion—for example because the required _watchonly wallet already exists—fs::copy_file(backup_path, temp_backup_location, ...) therefore copies a file onto itself and throws, bypassing the cleanup and restoration path and leaving the wallet partially migrated and unloaded. The new plain-file migration path needs a distinct temporary backup location or must skip this copy when both paths are equivalent.

Propagate wallet reload failures instead of returning success.

In src/wallet/wallet.cpp, Lines 4907-5050, LoadWallet(...) can fail after migration and leave res.wallet null. MakeWallet then creates a null WalletMigrationResult::wallet, while this method still returns success. The Qt success path expects a wallet and can dereference the null result.

Update MigrateLegacyToDescriptor to route reload failures through its cleanup and restore path. Do not treat a null wallet as a successful migration.

Preliminary review — Codex only

At exact head 56a61c8, two blocking migration failure paths remain: rollback for a top-level plain-file wallet copies its backup onto itself, and a failed post-migration reload is returned to Qt as success with a null wallet. The previous bitcoin#27217 prerequisite finding is outdated because bitcoin#28038 is absent from the current commit range and explicitly deferred in the PR description.
Source: Codex reviewer lanes codex-general, codex-dash-core-commit-history, and codex-backport-reviewer, Claude reviewer lane, and CodeRabbit; exact reviewer model identifiers were not supplied. Final verifier: Claude via the Anthropic Claude Agent SDK, with the exact model identifier not exposed. openclaw-agent/cliproxy/gpt-5.6-sol is orchestration-only and not reviewer evidence.

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

- [BLOCKING] src/wallet/wallet.cpp:5000-5001: Plain-file migration rollback copies the backup onto itself
  For a legacy wallet stored directly at `GetWalletDir() / wallet_name`, `this_wallet_dir` is the top-level wallet directory. Consequently, `backup_path` and the failure path's `temp_backup_location` resolve to the same file. If `DoMigration()` fails after conversion to SQLite, `fs::copy_file(backup_path, temp_backup_location, copy_options::none)` throws before the converted wallet and any helper wallets can be removed and the legacy backup restored. This leaves the original wallet unloaded and the on-disk wallet partially migrated. Use a genuinely distinct temporary location, or handle the equivalent-path case while preserving the backup through directory cleanup and restoration.
- [BLOCKING] src/wallet/wallet.cpp:4991-4996: Failed post-migration reload returns a null wallet as success
  `LoadWallet()` can return null while setting `status` and `error`, but the success branch stores that null pointer and still returns a successful `MigrationResult`. `WalletLoaderImpl::migrateWallet()` then wraps it with `MakeWallet()`, which also returns null, and reports a successful `WalletMigrationResult`. The Qt success path immediately dereferences `res->wallet` to build its success message, so any reload failure becomes a GUI crash rather than a migration error. Treat a null reload as failure and route it through the existing cleanup and legacy-backup restoration path before returning an error.

Correct observation, but this is exactly upstream's state at this point in
history: the hunk is a 1:1 backport of bitcoin-core/gui#738 (5b3a85b), and
Bitcoin Core v25 shipped with the same latent behavior - a failed LoadWallet()
after successful migration returned success with a null res.wallet.

Upstream fixed precisely this in bitcoin#28609 (d616d30, "There is also
additional handling for a failed reload"): the reload_wallet helper returns
to_reload != nullptr, a failed reload flips success = false, and the existing
cleanup/backup-restore path runs. That PR is already listed in this PR's
description as out of scope for this batch and will be backported in the next
one, which resolves this finding without diverging from upstream here.

Note the window is narrow (the wallet file was just written and verified) and
the RPC path is unaffected - migratewallet only reads res->wallet_name; only
the new GUI path dereferences res->wallet.
