Issue being fixed or feature implemented

AutoLockMasternodeCollaterals() runs from AddWallet() on every wallet load and locks every masternode collateral it finds; LockExistingDustOutputs() does the same for dust-protection targets when a wallet is created from file. Both recompute lock policy from scratch, so neither can tell an outpoint that was never unlocked from one the user unlocked on purpose.

Unlocking is the documented way to spend a protected output — see the comment above AutoLockMasternodeCollaterals(): "They can still be unlocked manually if a spend is really intended" — and lockunspent is how you do it. But the decision only lasts until the next restart, at which point the automatic locks silently take it back and the output becomes unspendable again with no indication why. AvailableCoins() skips locked coins for every CoinType except ONLY_MASTERNODE_COLLATERAL, which is only used by the masternode outputs listing RPC, so an automatically re-locked collateral simply stops being selectable.

To reproduce: with -dustprotectionthreshold set, receive a dust-sized payment from someone else, lockunspent true the output to spend it, restart the node, and observe it locked again. The same happens with a 1000 DASH masternode collateral you unlocked in order to spend it.

What was done?

Record the user's decision rather than trying to infer it.

A deliberate unlock adds the outpoint to m_autolock_optout, persisted as DBKeys::AUTOLOCK_OPTOUT because the automatic locks outlive a restart. Locking the output again clears the record and hands it back to the automatic protection. The two chokepoints that apply those locks — LockProTxCoins() and IsDustProtectionTarget() — skip outpoints carrying the record, which covers every path that reapplies them.

Only genuinely user-driven paths record intent: the lockunspent RPC and the Qt coin-control entry points. interfaces::Wallet::unlockCoin() was also being used to drop the transient hold CollateralLockGuard takes around a ProTx submission, so acquireCoinLock() gains a matching releaseCoinLock() and the guard uses that instead, which keeps an internal hold from being mistaken for a user decision.

The record is written only alongside the lock change it belongs to:

  • a lock the caller keeps in memory only — the lockunspent default — leaves the decision standing, because that lock is gone after a reload while the decision would not be;
  • an unlock always persists both records together, including the no-batch entry point;
  • a failed write is rolled back in memory, so what the running process believes always matches what a reload would find;
  • records whose output the wallet no longer knows about (for example after removeprunedfunds) are dropped after a clean load, so a record cannot outlive its output.

An output can also become a target after the user unlocked it — a ProRegTx registering it as collateral, or -dustprotectionthreshold being raised — so the record is written regardless of whether a protection currently targets the outpoint.

How Has This Been Tested?

Unit tests:

  • availablecoins_tests/DeliberateUnlockSurvivesAutomaticLocking — the decision survives LockExistingDustOutputs(), a memory-only lock leaves it standing, and a persistent lock hands the output back.
  • availablecoins_tests/DeliberateUnlockPrecedesDustProtection — unlocking before dust protection is enabled still opts the output out.
  • walletload_tests/wallet_load_autolock_optout — the record round-trips through the wallet database, and a record for an output the wallet does not know about is pruned instead.
  • wallet_tests/unlock_coin_by_user_failed_persist, wallet_tests/unlock_coin_by_user_without_batch_erases_lock, wallet_tests/unlock_all_coins_failed_erase, wallet_tests/unlock_all_coins_failed_persist — failure injection over the existing FailDatabase fixture, which gained a flag so erases can fail while writes succeed. These pin the rule that a failed call leaves nothing durable behind and never leaves memory and disk disagreeing.

Functional test wallet_dust_protection.py gained test_deliberate_unlock_survives_restart and test_deliberate_unlock_precedes_protection, covering the real lockunspent RPC path across real node restarts, including the no-argument lockunspent true form.

Every one of these was checked to be a genuine regression test by mutating the corresponding code and confirming the expected assertions fail.

Ran availablecoins_tests, walletload_tests, wallet_tests, coinjoin_tests, walletdb_tests, and wallet_dust_protection.py on both --descriptors and --legacy-wallet. Built with the full tree including Qt on macOS (aarch64-apple-darwin).

Breaking Changes

A deliberate unlock now survives a restart, where previously it did not. That is the point of the change, but it is a user-visible difference in what lockunspent means over time.

The wallet gains a new database record type, autolockoptout. An older Dash Core release reading the same wallet treats it as an unknown record — ReadKeyValue() only counts unrecognized keys — and reapplies the automatic locks exactly as it does today, so downgrading is safe.

No consensus, network or serialization changes.

AutoLockMasternodeCollaterals() and LockExistingDustOutputs() run on every
wallet load and lock every masternode collateral and dust-protection target
they find. They recompute lock policy, so they cannot tell an outpoint that
was never unlocked from one the user unlocked on purpose with `lockunspent`,
which is the documented way to spend a protected output. Restarting the node
therefore silently took the decision back and the output became unspendable
again with no indication why.

Give the wallet a way to record that decision instead of inferring it. A
deliberate unlock adds the outpoint to m_autolock_optout, persisted as
DBKeys::AUTOLOCK_OPTOUT because the automatic locks outlive a restart;
locking it again clears the record and hands the outpoint back to them. The
two chokepoints that apply those locks, LockProTxCoins() and
IsDustProtectionTarget(), skip outpoints carrying the record, which covers
every path that reapplies them.

Only genuinely user-driven paths record intent: `lockunspent` and the GUI
coin-control entry points. interfaces::unlockCoin() was also used to drop the
transient hold CollateralLockGuard takes, so acquireCoinLock() gains a
matching releaseCoinLock() and the guard uses that, keeping an internal hold
from being mistaken for a decision.

The record is written only alongside the lock change it belongs to: a lock
the caller keeps in memory only leaves the decision standing, an unlock
always persists both, and a failed write is rolled back in memory so what the
process believes matches what a reload would find. Records whose output the
wallet no longer knows about are dropped after a clean load.

P1 Badge Release wizard holds without recording a user opt-out

When the registration wizard cancels, destroys, or fails a prepared registration, its existing cleanup paths (src/qt/masternodewizard.cpp:223, :1709, and :1782) call unlockCoin() solely to release the temporary hold acquired by CollateralLockGuard. Routing that API to UnlockCoinByUser() now persists an automatic-lock opt-out; if the same collateral is subsequently registered, the kept in-memory lock masks the problem until restart, after which AutoLockMasternodeCollaterals() skips it and leaves live collateral eligible for spending. Those wizard cleanup paths should use releaseCoinLock(..., false), as the guard itself now does, rather than recording user intent.

Walkthrough

The wallet now distinguishes deliberate user coin unlocks from automatic lock management. It persists automatic-lock opt-outs by transaction output, restores valid records during wallet loading, and removes stale records. User locks clear opt-outs. User unlocks create opt-outs. Masternode-collateral and dust-protection locking skip opted-out outputs. Coin-lock interfaces and collateral cleanup use the new semantics. Unit, load, functional, and release-note updates cover persistence, restart behavior, and database failures.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 72379

Some lock and unlock operations can leave the running wallet and its saved state inconsistent when persistence fails, while bulk operations may apply only partially. This can cause outputs to be locked or unlocked differently after restart, so the PR needs owner follow-up before merge.

UnlockAllCoins drops in-memory locks even when the persisted lock record survives.

setLockedCoins.clear() runs unconditionally after the loop. If EraseLockedUTXO fails for an output, the function skips the opt-out and reports failure, but it still removes the coin from setLockedCoins. The process then treats the coin as unlocked while the wallet database still holds the lock record and no opt-out. That is the exact "silently take back the user decision" case this change guards against elsewhere, only in the opposite direction.

Keep the outputs whose lock record could not be erased.

Multi-output lock changes are not applied atomically. Both bulk paths share one WalletBatch across a loop and abort on the first failure. The WalletBatch destructor commits the records already written, so a mid-loop failure persists lock records and the new opt-out records for only part of the requested outputs. WalletBatch provides TxnBegin, TxnCommit, and TxnAbort, so each loop can be made all-or-nothing.

Comment thread src/wallet/test/wallet_tests.cpp
The masternode registration wizard takes a transient collateral hold while a
registration is prepared, and releases it when the wizard is destroyed, when
the prepare returns no transaction, or when the user discards the prepared
registration. Those three paths called unlockCoin(), which now records a
deliberate unlock, so cancelling a registration would opt a live collateral
out of the automatic lock. The in-memory lock hides that until a restart,
after which AutoLockMasternodeCollaterals() skips the collateral and leaves
it eligible for ordinary coin selection.

Use releaseCoinLock(), the counterpart to the acquireCoinLock() that took the
hold, as CollateralLockGuard already does.

Also give FailBatch a write-only failure flag so
unlock_all_coins_failed_persist reaches the branch it documents: with every
operation failing, the lock erase failed first and the opt-out write it means
to exercise was never attempted.

P2 Badge Make the unlock and opt-out writes atomic

When EraseLockedUTXO() succeeds but WriteAutoLockOptOut() fails—for example, if the second SQLite/Berkeley DB write encounters an I/O or full-disk error—WalletBatch has not started a transaction, so this returns false after the durable lock has already been erased and the in-memory coin has been unlocked. The RPC therefore reports failure while the protected output is actually spendable until automatic locking runs again; the reverse partial-commit problem exists in LockCoinByUser() when erasing the opt-out fails. Execute each lock/opt-out pair in an explicit database transaction, or restore the first record before returning failure.

Restore-on-failure means issuing another fallible write or erase to put the first record back — a write after a failed opt-out write on unlock, an erase after a failed opt-out erase on a persistent lock. LockCoin() and UnlockCoin() mutate setLockedCoins before their database call and do not roll back when it fails, so a failed restore would leave memory and disk diverging, where in these two cases they currently agree.

An explicit transaction does not close it either: a successful TxnAbort() reverts the database but not setLockedCoins or m_autolock_optout, so wrapping the multi-output loop would revert disk fully while leaving memory partially applied.

A complete fix needs the transaction and a matching in-memory rollback coordinated at the operation boundary — deferring the memory mutation until the write succeeds. That is a change to primitives used by CoinJoin, dust protection, collateral locking and the GUI, and it would also fix the pre-existing partial completion across lockunspent's loop, whose comment already claims atomicity. Should be done as a separate follow-up PR imo.

Preliminary review — Codex only

The deliberate-unlock tracking and separation of transient collateral holds are coherent, and the previously reported wizard and failure-injection test issues are fixed at the exact head. One blocking persistence issue remains: each lock transition updates two related database records through independent transactions, so a failure can change coin spendability despite the operation reporting failure; the corrective commit should also be folded into the feature commit before merge.

- [BLOCKING] src/wallet/wallet.cpp:2834-2840: Commit each lock and opt-out update atomically
  `WalletBatch` documents that each write or erase is its own transaction unless `TxnBegin()` is used, but these user lock transitions do not start a transaction. If `UnlockCoin()` commits `EraseLockedUTXO()` and `WriteAutoLockOptOut()` then fails, this method removes the in-memory opt-out and returns false even though the coin is already unlocked in memory and on disk. A protected dust output or masternode collateral is therefore selectable despite `lockunspent` reporting failure, and it can be automatically relocked on a later load because the opt-out was not saved. The reverse partial transition occurs in `LockCoinByUser()` when the lock write succeeds but erasing the opt-out fails, while `UnlockAllCoins()` has the same erase-then-write split at lines 2851-2862. Wrap each logical lock/opt-out pair in an explicit database transaction and restore the original in-memory lock and opt-out state on begin, write, or commit failure, or fully compensate the first durable operation before returning false.

Because the feature has not shipped between these commits, retaining both leaves the feature commit semantically incomplete during bisection. Fold 894dfe8 into 5c44010; the focused release-notes commit can remain separate.

🔴 Blocking: Commit each lock and opt-out update atomically

WalletBatch documents that each write or erase is its own transaction unless TxnBegin() is used, but these user lock transitions do not start a transaction. If UnlockCoin() commits EraseLockedUTXO() and WriteAutoLockOptOut() then fails, this method removes the in-memory opt-out and returns false even though the coin is already unlocked in memory and on disk. A protected dust output or masternode collateral is therefore selectable despite lockunspent reporting failure, and it can be automatically relocked on a later load because the opt-out was not saved. The reverse partial transition occurs in LockCoinByUser() when the lock write succeeds but erasing the opt-out fails, while UnlockAllCoins() has the same erase-then-write split at lines 2851-2862. Wrap each logical lock/opt-out pair in an explicit database transaction and restore the original in-memory lock and opt-out state on begin, write, or commit failure, or fully compensate the first durable operation before returning false.
