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.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Abort migration when passphrase entry is cancelled.

The dialog result is ignored, so canceling still removes the wallet and proceeds with migration using an empty passphrase.

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.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

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.

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.

🔴 Blocking: 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.
