Summary

Wallet storage upgrades keep recoverable snapshots, give safe recovery guidance when old data cannot be opened, and expire old upgrade backups on a user-controlled schedule. Every on-disk file deletion in the app now goes through one guarded chokepoint.

User story

As a wallet owner, I want upgrades to keep my recovery options, old backups to be cleaned up on a schedule I control, and a guarantee that cleanup never touches my live wallet data.

Scenario

  • Incompatible data: if an older database cannot be opened, the guidance tells the user to record recovery phrases and imported private keys separately, close all running instances, and move each database together with its WAL and shared-memory files while leaving the secrets folder in place.
  • Retention (Settings → Upgrade Backups): upgrade backups older than 90 days are deleted automatically. The period can be set from 1 to 3650 days, or turned off (Keep forever). Tightening the policy or turning it on asks for confirmation and reports how many backups were deleted. An unreadable setting deletes nothing.
  • Global policy: retention covers backups of det-app.sqlite, every network's wallet database, and legacy data.db backups. The newest complete backup of each database is always kept (checked from the SQLite header, never by opening it); unreadable copies are never deleted automatically. A copy dated in the future by a fast clock is not treated as newest until that date arrives.
  • Removals: removing a wallet or identity keeps upgrade backups; retention handles them. Clearing a network's data removes only that network's wallet-database backups; backups of the shared det-app.sqlite stay under retention.

Detailed discussion

  • Back up the original only after staged conversion validates. Opening a database deletes only crash-left .pending files and snapshots byte-identical to a newer one of the same migration; legacy data.db backups are written durably (temp file, fsync, no-clobber rename) and abandoned temp copies older than a day are swept, so repeated failed opens cannot pile up copies and Keep forever keeps every distinct snapshot.
  • src/utils/file_deletion.rs::delete_file / delete_tree is the single deletion path. Each call names a DeletionIntent (Backup, NetworkClear, Log). Checks: regular file (symlinks are unlinked only under NetworkClear, never followed); a deny-list of live databases, the secrets vault, .env and .premigration files (by name and, on Unix, by device/inode); nlink == 1; exact backup-name allow-list and directory scope per intent. On Windows, names that could alias another file are refused. clippy.toml disallows direct remove_file / remove_dir* calls; the few exceptions carry a reasoned #[expect].
  • One storage-failure classifier separates retryable problems (in use, full disk, unavailable storage, memory, permissions) from terminal incompatibility, with cause-specific messages.
  • The backup lock retries a contended lock for up to 500 ms: on Linux an flock held by a just-released guard can briefly look held while another thread forks a child.

Validation

  • Chokepoint unit tests cover every protected file under every intent, .., symlink, symlinked-directory, hard-link, scope and deep-tree cases.
  • A deletion sentinel test builds a realistic multi-network data directory, runs retention, wallet removal, identity removal, log rotation and a testnet network clear, and asserts that exactly the targeted files disappear and every other file is byte-identical.
  • Retention tests cover Keep forever across repeated opens, byte-identical deduplication, the newest-backup floor with now 100 years ahead, and concurrent prunes. Mutating the age and newest-backup logic makes these tests fail.
  • The lock regression test and 200 repeated runs of the previously flaky test pass; the platform_compatibility module passes 10/10 runs at 16 threads.
  • 415 targeted tests and cargo clippy --all-features --all-targets -- -D warnings pass locally; full CI runs on this PR.
  • Four review rounds (security, project, QA) with fixes in between; the final round found no remaining defects.
  • Live GUI test of the Settings section (at 0c66764, before the round-2 fixes) on an isolated data directory: default, startup pruning, Keep forever, confirmation, tighten/loosen, and unreadable-setting scenarios all passed, and the live databases, vault and .env were unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Upgrade backups are validated before creation, limited to the newest usable snapshot, and cleaned up more reliably, including recovery after interrupted operations.
    • Removing a wallet, identity, or network data now also removes related upgrade backups.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of storage locks, unavailable storage, full disks, permissions, and memory errors, with retryable issues distinguished from other failures.
    • Incomplete cleanup is reported and retried at startup.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for preserving wallet files and secrets, distinguishing imported keys from recovery phrases, and retrying when another session is active.

- WalletDataIncompatible no longer tells users to remove local wallet data;
  it asks them to write down recovery phrases and imported keys, move only
  the .sqlite files aside and keep the secrets folder, whose imported and
  masternode keys no recovery phrase can restore.
- The compatibility bridge backs up only after the staged copy validates,
  right before the rebuild, and keeps at most one backup per database.
- Deterministic upgrade failures are terminal storage-open errors, so they
  surface instead of being silently retried; busy, disk-full and I/O
  failures stay retryable.
- Removing a wallet or identity, or clearing a network's data, deletes the
  upgrade backups of det-app.sqlite and the network wallet database.
- Upgrade and funding-persist errors name their actual cause (another
  instance, full disk, or neither) without disk-space or "account" jargon
  where it does not apply; the two identity-roster variants share one
  message.

Walkthrough

The change classifies storage and persistence failures, coordinates upgrade-backup creation and retention, and removes backups during wallet, identity, and network-data cleanup. It also updates recovery guidance and cleanup messages.

Changes

Upgrade lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Upgrade errors and backup retention
src/wallet_backend/platform_compatibility/..., Cargo.toml
Upgrade errors retain typed causes and retryability. Backup handling discovers and validates candidates, uses a lock, creates backups after target validation, and prunes retained snapshots.
Storage opening and error routing
src/wallet_backend/platform_compatibility/mod.rs, src/backend_task/error.rs, src/backend_task/mod.rs, src/wallet_backend/identity_ops.rs, src/context/wallet_lifecycle/tests.rs
Storage opening prunes backups before and after open attempts. Error mapping distinguishes database contention, retryable resource failures, and non-retryable upgrade failures.
Backup cleanup during data removal
src/context/wallet_lifecycle/removal.rs, src/context/wallet_lifecycle/spv.rs, src/context/identity_db.rs, src/backend_task/identity/remove_identity.rs, src/context/wallet_lifecycle/tests.rs
Wallet removal, identity removal, and network-data clearing remove associated backups. Identity cleanup retains its pending manifest when backup deletion fails.
Recovery guidance and cleanup messages
CHANGELOG.md, docs/ai-design/..., src/backend_task/error.rs, src/ui/identity/mod.rs
Recovery instructions cover database files, WAL/SHM files, imported keys, and the secrets folder. Backup lifecycle and cleanup messages describe retention and incomplete cleanup.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5058b

Permission failures during migration can still produce misleading incompatible-data recovery instructions, and backups under symlinked directories may exceed the one-snapshot limit. Resolve these issues before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5058b

Backup publication and cleanup now coordinate recovery with data deletion. The change includes safeguards, but a platform-specific file-alias gap and an unverified backup-ownership assumption leave some recovery risk.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: On non-Unix platforms, a matching hard-link alias is not excluded from backup retention or deletion. If a local actor can place one in a backup location, it may be mistaken for an independent recovery snapshot, allowing pruning to discard a genuine copy.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Observed deletion inputs are bound to the current application data directory and network database, not request-supplied paths. The independently attackable scope of the file-alias concern therefore depends on local write access to a matching backup location; broader caller access was not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A local actor able to create a correctly named non-Unix hard link to the live database could pass the shown candidate checks. Treating that alias as a usable snapshot could cause an independent recovery copy to be pruned; the evidence does not establish remote reachability.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Backup scanning checks filename format and file type; removal revalidates the candidate immediately before unlinking. The network-clear method accepts no caller-provided file path or identity identifier.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Publication precedes pruning, while failed network cleanup is reported as incomplete. These controls contain partial failures, although the upstream directory-ownership contract and outer network-clear authorization remain unverified.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Use a portable file-identity check before treating a candidate as an independent snapshot, and verify that upstream backup directories distinguish the full database owner rather than relying solely on a filename stem.

Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)

The compatibility bridge improves validation and recovery safety, but several failure paths still undermine the PR’s stated backup-retention and deletion guarantees. In particular, recovery guidance can omit committed SQLite WAL data, identity deletion can succeed while retaining sensitive upgrade backups, and upstream or failed-prune backups can accumulate beyond the advertised bound.

In `src/backend_task/error.rs`:
- [BLOCKING] src/backend_task/error.rs:491-493: Recovery guidance can leave committed SQLite WAL data behind
  The recovery instructions tell users to move only files ending in `.sqlite`. SQLite WAL mode can keep committed changes in sibling `-wal` and `-shm` files. If those sidecars exist when the user follows these instructions, moving only the main database leaves the WAL data in the original directory, and the rebuilt application can appear to lose wallet or identity state. The guidance must either require closing the previous application and checkpointing the databases before moving them, or explicitly instruct users to move each database together with its `-wal` and `-shm` sidecars.
- [SUGGESTION] src/backend_task/error.rs:491-493: Recovery guidance does not distinguish imported keys from recovery phrases
  The message tells users to write down “the recovery phrase of every wallet and every key you imported.” Imported private keys do not have recovery phrases and cannot be re-derived from one. A user following this wording may fail to record an imported key before moving the databases aside. Instruct users separately to record each wallet’s recovery phrase and each imported key.

In `src/context/identity_db.rs`:
- [BLOCKING] src/context/identity_db.rs:1740-1747: Identity deletion reports success when upgrade-backup cleanup fails
  The durable pending-cleanup manifest is cleared by `finish_identity_removal_cleanup` before `remove_upgrade_backups()` runs. If backup deletion fails, this code only logs the error and still returns `Ok`, so the identity-removal task reports success while a backup containing the deleted identity remains on disk. Because the manifest has already been cleared, the boot-time cleanup sweep will not retry this deletion. Propagate the cleanup failure as an incomplete deletion or persist a retryable cleanup marker so retained backups cannot silently survive identity removal.

In `src/wallet_backend/platform_compatibility/mod.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] src/wallet_backend/platform_compatibility/mod.rs:13-16: Upstream pre-migration backups are not bounded or removed
  The initial `SqlitePersister::open(config.clone())` can create an upstream `backups/auto/pre-migration-*` snapshot before returning a migration error. Each retry after a deterministic compatibility failure can create another full snapshot, while `remove_backups` only scans DET files matching `.platform-67d4ef3-backup-*.sqlite`. Successful upgrades also leave these upstream snapshots behind. This defeats the PR’s stated at-most-one-backup and deletion guarantees and can grow storage across retries and restarts. Bound or clean up the upstream backup directory, or memoize terminal failures so repeated opens do not create additional snapshots.

In `src/wallet_backend/platform_compatibility/engine.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] src/wallet_backend/platform_compatibility/engine.rs:279-284: Failed pruning can leave multiple retained upgrade backups
  The new backup is kept before older backups are removed, but failures from `remove_file` are only logged. If an older backup is open or otherwise cannot be unlinked, the upgrade still succeeds with both the old and new backups present. Subsequent opens bypass this compatibility bridge after conversion, so pruning is not retried and the implementation does not enforce the advertised one-backup-per-database bound. Surface the pruning failure or persist cleanup state for a later retry.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)

The PR fixes the previously identified recovery-guidance, retention, upstream-backup, and cleanup-reporting issues. Three in-scope reliability gaps remain: crash-left .pending snapshots bypass cleanup, wallet removal skips backup deletion when the backend is unavailable, and storage-error retry classification is incomplete and overly broad.

In `src/wallet_backend/platform_compatibility/engine.rs`:
- [BLOCKING] src/wallet_backend/platform_compatibility/engine.rs:355-381: Crash-left .pending snapshots bypass retention and deletion
  The backup flow writes a complete verified copy to a `.pending` file before publishing it as `.sqlite`. If the process terminates after the copy is written but before `persist_noclobber` runs, the `NamedTempFile` destructor does not get a chance to remove the file. On the next startup, `backups_in` recognizes only published `.sqlite` bridge backups and upstream `.db` backups, so the stale `.pending` snapshot is ignored by both `retain_one_backup` and `remove_backups`. Removing a wallet, identity, or network can therefore leave the full pre-upgrade database behind indefinitely, violating the PR's at-most-one-backup and deletion-cleanup guarantees across a crash. Include crash-left pending snapshots in startup retention and deletion handling, or otherwise clean them up safely after validating that they are backup artifacts.
- [SUGGESTION] src/wallet_backend/platform_compatibility/engine.rs:53-79: Compatibility retry classification loses SQLite transient error categories
  `From<rusqlite::Error>` marks only `DatabaseBusy`, `DatabaseLocked`, and `DiskFull` as retryable. SQLite's `SystemIoFailure` and `OutOfMemory` errors are also transient environmental failures in the upstream storage classification, but they become `UpgradeError::Sqlite` and are treated as terminal by `is_terminal_storage_open_error()`. In the opposite direction, every non-`StorageFull` `std::io::Error` becomes `UpgradeError::Io`, and every `Io` error is considered retryable, including deterministic permission and invalid-input failures. Classify SQLite and OS errors by their actual retry semantics, with explicit retryable storage categories and cause-appropriate user-facing messages.

In `src/context/wallet_lifecycle/removal.rs`:
- [BLOCKING] src/context/wallet_lifecycle/removal.rs:52-89: Wallet removal skips upgrade-backup deletion when the backend is unwired
  The new `remove_upgrade_backups()` call is inside `if let Ok(backend) = self.wallet_backend()`. When the backend is unavailable, the wallet is still removed from the in-memory map and the method returns `Ok(())`, but the matching DET and upstream upgrade snapshots are never deleted and no warning is shown. `remove_upgrade_backups()` itself performs filesystem cleanup and does not require the backend, so this placement leaves recoverable wallet history behind during pre-wire or already-shutdown removal. Run independent backup cleanup outside the backend-dependent block; keep only secret-state and upstream-row cleanup conditional on the backend.

Comment thread src/context/wallet_lifecycle/removal.rs Resolved
Remove pending upgrade snapshots during retention and deletion without pruning
an active backup or replacing a published recovery copy. Clean backups when
removing a wallet even if its backend is unavailable. Preserve transient
storage and memory failures while surfacing deterministic access errors.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)

All eight prior findings are addressed at the reviewed head. Two in-scope issues remain: retention can delete another process's active snapshot, and transient failures during staged storage validation are treated as terminal compatibility failures. These conclusions are based on source inspection; the reported reviewer probes were not rerun.

In `src/wallet_backend/platform_compatibility/engine.rs`:
- [BLOCKING] src/wallet_backend/platform_compatibility/engine.rs:366-371: Distinguish abandoned snapshots from actively written pending files
  Retention deletes every matching `.pending` file without establishing that its writer has exited. `platform_compatibility::open()` runs this pass before opening the database, so the SQLite writer transaction held by an upgrade cannot protect its snapshot. This is reachable through concurrent CLI initialization: `init_app_context()` opens `det-app.sqlite` before opening the shared secret store. On Unix, a second initialization can therefore unlink the first process's snapshot while `backup()` is writing it; the first process then fails when publishing it with `persist_noclobber()`, aborting an otherwise valid upgrade. The filename, regular-file, and link checks establish which database the snapshot belongs to, but not whether it is abandoned. Serialize snapshot creation and cleanup with an interprocess guard, or otherwise establish writer abandonment before removing pending files. Add a regression test that runs retention while a snapshot is actively being written.

In `src/backend_task/mod.rs`:
- [BLOCKING] src/backend_task/mod.rs:237-242: Preserve retryable causes from staged storage validation
  The new terminal-error branch treats every `UpgradeError::TypedValidation` as non-retryable, but that variant also wraps resource failures. In `platform_compatibility/mod.rs`, staged database creation, reopening, `load()`, and `load_unowned_identities()` wrap all upstream errors in `TypedValidation`, bypassing the cause-specific `From<rusqlite::Error>` conversion. A disk-full or temporary I/O failure at those boundaries is consequently classified as terminal. `StoragePreparationGate` uses this classifier to remove the "Try again" action, while the error message directs the user to the previous application version rather than addressing the resource problem. Preserve or inspect the concrete `WalletStorageError` and `PersistenceError` causes before classifying the failure, reserving terminal validation errors for schema, decoding, or integrity failures. Add regression cases through these wrappers, not only through the direct SQLite conversion.

Comment thread src/backend_task/mod.rs Resolved
Serialize snapshot creation and cleanup across processes. Classify staged
validation failures from their typed causes so temporary resource errors
retain retry guidance while invalid data stays terminal.

⚠️ DEGRADED — Re-review — Preliminary review — Phase 1 blocker gate

⚠️ DEGRADED review. The primary review models were unavailable (gpt-6-astra unavailable: All credentials for model gpt-6-astra are cooling down (last error: usage_limit_reached: The usage limit has been reache), so this review ran on stand-in models: gpt-5.6-luna → muse-spark-1.3-contributor, gpt-5.6-sol → muse-spark-1.3-contributor, gpt-5.6-terra → muse-spark-1.3-contributor, gpt-6-astra → muse-spark-1.3-contributor. Both review phases and the independent verifiers still ran, but on weaker models, with Phase 1 capped at high effort. Treat the verdict as provisional; a full-strength re-review will run on the next push once the primary models are back.

This PR hardens upgrade snapshots and recovery copy, and all ten prior findings verify as fixed. Two new gaps remain: migration opens still map transient resource exhaustion to terminal incompatible-data guidance, and a single invalid backup candidate aborts deletion of all valid snapshots.

Validated blockers were found by the Phase-1 review and confirmed by a fresh verifier. Phase 2 is deferred until a fresh same-head revalidation clears the blocker gate.

Refinery migrations can fail with transient rusqlite causes such as DiskFull, SystemIoFailure, or OutOfMemory, which validation_error already treats as retryable.

Collect valid candidates while recording the first validation error so valid backups are still removed before reporting the failure.

  backups_in() calls validate_backup_file(&entry.path(), path)? at line 291 inside the directory scan, so a single name-matching directory, symlink, hard link, or live-database alias returns Err before any valid snapshot is collected. remove_backups() then propagates that error from backups(path)? at line 446 before its attempt-every-file loop runs, leaving every valid snapshot on disk.

  from_wallet_storage_open_error() maps every WalletStorageError::Migration except Busy/Locked to terminal WalletDataIncompatible. A migration chain carrying rusqlite DiskFull, SystemIoFailure, or OutOfMemory is recoverable by freeing space or retrying, but the user gets incompatible-data move-aside guidance. This is also inconsistent with the staged-upgrade path, which already treats those codes as retryable. Route exactly those three cause codes to WalletStorage and leave PermissionDenied/ReadOnly on the existing path.

A wallet-storage migration that fails on SQLite DiskFull, SystemIoFailure
or OutOfMemory is recoverable by freeing the resource and retrying, but it
was classified as terminal WalletDataIncompatible, showing move-the-
databases-aside guidance and stopping the cold-boot retry bridge. Route
those causes to the generic retryable WalletStorage variant; access
failures (PermissionDenied, ReadOnly) keep their existing classification.

tolerantly, removes all valid snapshots and then reports the first

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)

Verified the complete diff at 14f08fb and confirmed that all 12 prior findings are fixed. One non-blocking durability issue remains: backup deletion can be acknowledged before its directory changes are durable, allowing the cleanup manifest to be retired prematurely. The 43 exercised targeted tests passed; one additional external-fixture test self-skipped, and formatting and whitespace checks passed with the worktree unchanged.

- [SUGGESTION] src/wallet_backend/platform_compatibility/engine.rs:476-481: Make backup deletion durable before retiring the cleanup manifest
  Successful remove_file calls do not guarantee that directory-entry deletions survive power loss. After this function returns Ok, finish_identity_removal_cleanup deletes the persistent cleanup manifest, but neither path synchronizes the affected backup directories. The manifest deletion can therefore persist while an unlink in backups/auto does not, leaving a snapshot containing removed identity data without a manifest to retry its deletion. Startup retention does not close this gap because it deliberately keeps one published snapshot. Synchronize the affected parent directories before reporting successful cleanup, and propagate synchronization failures through the existing incomplete-cleanup path. Add a fault-injection regression showing that a directory-sync failure preserves the manifest.

Identity removal no longer deletes storage-upgrade backups. The persisted
per-identity cleanup marker, the captured backup scope, and the named-backup
removal helpers are gone, along with their retry logic and tests. Removing
an identity keeps the vault key manifest cleanup unchanged.

Upgrade backups now expire after a configurable retention period, 90 days
by default. Retention covers bridge snapshots, upstream pre-migration
snapshots, and legacy data.db migration backups. A backup's age is taken
from the later of its modification time and the timestamp in its name, so a
reset or skewed signal can only delay deletion. Pruning runs once both
databases have opened successfully, at startup and whenever the user changes
the setting. An expired snapshot is removed only after the data it protects
has opened successfully.

The policy lives under its own app k/v key, det:upgrade_backup_retention:v1.
It is not a field in the positional AppSettings blob, so older builds and
existing installs still decode their settings. An unreadable policy deletes
nothing. Settings gains an Upgrade Backups section where the user can change
the period (1 to 3650 days) or keep backups forever.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Removing a wallet no longer deletes upgrade backups. Each backup copies a
whole database, including the data of the other wallets, so deleting it
with a single wallet destroys recovery snapshots the remaining wallets
still depend on. Time-based retention decides when backups are removed.
Clearing a network's data still deletes them.

Replace the wallet-removal deletion tests with tests asserting the backups
survive removal, with and without a wallet backend. Drop the test for the
cleanup-failure warning, since removal no longer attempts that cleanup.
Update the CHANGELOG, the upgrade notes, and user stories WAL-007/WAL-034.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Address QA findings on time-based upgrade-backup retention:

- Settings asks for a danger-mode confirmation before saving a stricter
  policy (shorter period, or turning deletion on), because that deletes
  backups immediately. The saved result reports how many backups were
  deleted and shows it in a banner.
- The form treats a policy as saved only once the backend confirms it.
  A failed save restores the previous inputs instead of showing a policy
  that was never persisted. An unreadable setting is shown as not loaded
  (nothing is deleted), and an explicit Save Setting button repairs it.
- Legacy backup pruning refuses a symlinked or non-directory `backups`
  path, and counts a backup deleted concurrently by another prune as
  handled instead of failing.
- Correct the user-story wording: a change applies right away only to
  shared and current-network backups.
- Add tests for the ensure_wallet_backend prune wiring, for skipping the
  prune when the wallet open fails, for both branches of
  handle_update_backup_retention, and for rejecting malformed upstream
  timestamps.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…usy frames

Fix three issues found in QA of the retention settings form:

- Results and errors of UpdateBackupRetention now go to the network
  chooser screen, as ClearNetworkDatabase results already do, rather than
  to whichever screen is visible. Navigating away while a save is in
  flight no longer leaves the form disabled or loses the result banner.
- Ticking "Delete old upgrade backups automatically" no longer saves on
  its own. The user picks the period and then applies it with "Turn On
  Automatic Deletion". The confirmation shows the period the user chose
  instead of the 90-day default, so choosing 365 days never deletes
  backups that are 90 to 365 days old.
- A save is queued and emitted only on a frame with no other screen
  action, and is marked in flight only once emitted. Another action on
  the same frame, such as the SDK reinit after DAPI discovery, can no
  longer overwrite the save and leave the form waiting forever.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
All production file deletions now go through a new
`utils::file_deletion::delete_file` (plus `delete_tree`, which unlinks each
file through it). Before anything is unlinked, the chokepoint makes sure the
target is a regular file. It then checks a hard deny-list by name:
det-app.sqlite, data.db, every network's wallet and shielded DB, *.pwsvault,
.env and *.premigration, each with its -wal/-shm/-journal sidecars. The same
deny-list is checked again by canonical location and inode, which catches
`..`, symlink, case and hard-link aliases. After that come a link-count check
and the scope of the caller's `DeletionIntent`.

- Backup: upgrade-engine and legacy data.db backup retention (legacy
  pruning now gets the live-DB and hard-link checks the engine already had)
- NetworkClear: confined to spv/<network>/ and its lock, used by the SPV
  cache clear and the retired shielded-file cleanup
- Log: rotated `<stem>.<ts>.log` files; works before AppContext exists

The deliberate exceptions (tempfile self-cleanup, atomic renames) carry a
comment at the call site. A sentinel test runs retention, wallet removal,
identity removal, log rotation and a full testnet network clear against a
data dir holding every network's databases, and asserts that every
untargeted file is byte-identical afterwards.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… chokepoint

Published upgrade snapshots are now deleted only by the user's time-based
retention: opening a database removes just crash-left `.pending` copies and
byte-identical duplicates of a newer snapshot of the same migration (size
check, then a streamed comparison), so "Keep forever" keeps every distinct
snapshot while repeated failed upgrades no longer pile up copies.

Retention is one global policy for every database in the data directory
(app database and every network's wallet database, plus legacy data.db
backups) and always keeps the newest backup of each database, whatever its
age or the clock. A database whose lifecycle lock is held is skipped, and
one without backups is not locked at all. A network clear removes only that
network's wallet backups; det-app.sqlite backups stay under retention.

Deletion chokepoint: Backup intents allow only the exact backup name grammar
of their database; delete_tree scope-checks every directory and walks
iteratively; a network clear unlinks symlinked SPV entries without following
them; Windows refuses alias-prone names; clippy.toml disallows raw fs remove
calls. One shared prune helper, one storage-failure classifier, shared
file-name constants, a single rotated-log grammar.

UI: out-of-range retention days stay visible with an error instead of being
clamped and saved, singular confirmation copy, the form re-syncs on arrival
so a lost result cannot wedge it, and cleanup failures carry details. Docs
(CHANGELOG, WAL-034, upgrade notes, AGENTS.md) describe the new behaviour.

… holds

`flock` belongs to the open file description, and a child forked by any
thread of this process shares that description until it execs. A lifecycle
lock that was just released could therefore still look held, so an open or
backup failed with a retryable "storage unavailable" error whenever another
thread spawned a process at that moment (seen as a CI flake in
platform_compatibility_failed_publication_keeps_previous_snapshot).

Contended locks are now retried for a 500 ms grace period before reporting
WouldBlock. A regression test re-acquires the lock while processes spawn
alongside; it fails without the grace period.

lklimek and others added 9 commits September 30, 2026 10:35
…open copies

The retention floor could keep an empty or truncated newest file while
deleting the only complete snapshot. The floor is now the newest backup that
passes a cheap structural SQLite check (magic, page size, file size covering
every page the header claims, no hot rollback journal), for bridge, upstream
and legacy backups alike. If nothing passes, the newest file is still kept.

The floor no longer trusts a skewable clock alone: backups dated more than a
day in the future do not displace one dated in the past, and the upstream
snapshot of the latest migration (a clock-independent order) is kept too.

The failed-open bound test depended on the umask: with a group-writable temp
dir upstream refused the open before snapshotting, so it passed locally but
failed in CI, where upstream writes a real pre-migration copy per failed
open. It now uses an owner-only data dir and asserts that the real copies
collapse to one.

Also: one SPV directory helper, typed scan-classification errors, a shared
lifecycle-lock path helper, truthful and shared cleanup-retry wording, and
stale comments fixed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The retention check treated an unreadable backup as unusable, so a read
error on the newest snapshot handed the floor to an older copy and let the
newest one expire. Usability is now three-way: usable, unusable, or
undetermined. Undetermined covers a file that cannot be read (also reported,
so the pass retries) and a complete-looking file with a non-empty rollback
journal beside it. Undetermined backups are never deleted automatically and
never displace the newest usable one.

Legacy data.db backups are now written to a pending file, synced and
renamed without overwriting, so a crash cannot leave a torn copy under a
backup name.

The clock-skew limit is documented and pinned by a test: a future-dated
backup stops being de-preferred once real time reaches its date. WAL-034,
the CHANGELOG and the upgrade notes now mention the no-usable-backup
fallback. Also: misplaced doc comment and test in error.rs, and the SPV root
directory now comes from one helper.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A legacy data.db backup interrupted before its rename left a
`<backup name>.<random>.pending` file that nothing ever removed. Every
retention pass now sweeps such copies, whatever the policy, once they are more
than a day old (so a copy still being written is left alone). Only the exact
temporary-name grammar qualifies, and the deletion chokepoint's legacy
allow-list accepts that grammar and nothing looser.

WAL-034 now states the accepted clock limit instead of promising the floor
holds whatever the system clock does.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Legacy backup names have one-second resolution, and the non-clobbering
publish returned AlreadyExists when a backup of the same second existed,
aborting startup through backup_db. The copy is now published under the
next free second (up to 60 tries), which keeps the data_backup_<ts> grammar
and the chokepoint allow-list, never overwrites an existing backup, and
leaves no temporary copy behind.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every production boot path (GUI `AppState::boot_inputs`, det-cli/headless
`mcp::server`) opens an existing `data.db` read-only and calls
`Database::initialize` only for a fresh file, so `backup_db` and
`legacy_backups::write_backup` never ran outside tests.

Remove `backup_db`, `write_backup` with its collision retry, the `.pending`
unpublished-copy scheme (`is_pending_backup_name`, `sweep_pending`, its
retention call and the chokepoint allow-list branch) and their tests. The
`.pending` scheme never shipped, so no user has such files to sweep.

Time-based retention of existing `backups/data_backup_*.db` files left by
older versions stays, including the name grammar, the usability floor and
the chokepoint allow-list for those names. The legacy migration ladder is
kept for the migration-fixture tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Keep each retention/floor/classification invariant proven once at the
right level instead of re-asserting it at three or four layers:
- drop engine/legacy/retention floor and clock tests already covered by
  backup_prune unit tests; keep the unreadable-copy case
- one table-driven StorageFailure test plus one mapping test per consumer
- merge overlapping backup-retention form tests
- add a bridge_backup_path test helper for hand-built fixture names
- compute a backup's creation time in one place (backup_prune::created_at)
- drop the always-true selection filter from remove_backups
- trim internal docs to present state

- Open-time tidying logs and continues before and after the open; the
  current-database probe that let a strict tidy block upgrades is gone.
- The backup scan skips symlinks and directories and leaves every other
  refusal (live database, hard links) to the deletion chokepoint; only the
  lifecycle lock file keeps its own symlink/hard-link guard.
- Backup removal syncs only the directories it actually deleted from.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A backup-named hard link (e.g. to the live database) looked like a complete,
newest snapshot, so it could become the retention floor and let the real
newest backup expire. The backup scan now skips files with more than one
link, as it already skips symlinks and directories.

Also stop pinning SQLITE_PERM/SQLITE_READONLY migration failures as terminal
in the resource-error test; their mapping is not settled here.

The chokepoint and its test suite are genuinely solid, but six MEDIUM findings trip must-fix gates: the branch's own headline "never treat a hard-linked file as an upgrade backup" fix only covers one of three sites and only on Unix, a new lock file can permanently brick opening wallet data with a misleading disk-space message, a permission-denied error gets misrouted into a terminal recovery-phrase eulogy, the new incompatible-data message is a jargon-stuffed wall of text, a destructive confirmation dialog can silently fail to delete what it promised, and removing a wallet now keeps at least one backup of its data forever with no disclosure. REQUEST_CHANGES — close the gaps this branch was supposed to close before it ships.

Findings outside the diff or deferred

  • PROJ-001 · MEDIUM — Retention save sets its own banner in the screen, contradicting ScreenLike's docs and its neighbour in app.rs — /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/ui/network_chooser_screen.rs:2027-2044, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/app.rs:2949-2977, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/ui/mod.rs:842-849

Two adjacent match arms in app.rs, same job, opposite division of labor — one lets AppState own the banner like the docs say, the other has the screen freelancing its own. Pick a lane before the next contributor copies the wrong example.

  • PROJ-002 · MEDIUM — A UI-only banner string lives in backend_task/error.rs and near-duplicates the TaskError it shadows — /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/backend_task/error.rs:113, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/backend_task/error.rs:1193-1205, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/ui/network_chooser_screen.rs:1385-1398, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src…

A UI banner string is moonlighting in backend_task/error.rs with no TaskError variant to its name, paraphrasing the error sitting two lines away. Delete the duplicate and derive the banner from the TaskError you're already holding.

  • PROJ-003 · MEDIUM · BLOCKING — Confirmation dialog and WAL-034 promise backups are "deleted now"; the handler skips pruning entirely before the wallet backend is wired — /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/backend_task/system_task/mod.rs:66-90, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/ui/network_chooser_screen.rs:1400-1409, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/docs/user-stories.md:142

The confirmation dialog swears backups are 'deleted now.' The handler just... doesn't, if the wallet backend isn't wired yet — which is exactly the state right after launch, the most likely time someone visits Settings. That's a promise this PR can't currently cash.

  • PROJ-004 · MEDIUM — New clippy.toml is not in any workflow path filter, so a change to it alone ships unlinted — /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/clippy.toml:1-9, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/.github/workflows/clippy.yml:10-16, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/AGENTS.md:60

clippy.toml is the entire enforcement mechanism for your prized deletion chokepoint, and it's invisible to every CI workflow path filter. A typo in the deny-list ships with zero verification. Add it to the filter list before it becomes a very quiet incident.

  • PROJ-005 · MEDIUM — Two new modules land outside the DET Module Placement Policy AGENTS.md just extended — /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/AGENTS.md:117, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/utils/backup_prune.rs:1-30, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/database/legacy_backups.rs:1-70

Four new modules, one module-placement-policy update. backup_prune.rs and legacy_backups.rs land outside the very policy this PR bothered to amend. Either extend the policy or relocate the code — not both silently unaddressed.

  • RUST-001 · MEDIUM — BackupRetentionForm renders egui without the Component pattern, and its two buttons are the only unstyled ones in the screen — /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/ui/network_chooser_screen.rs:1587-1660, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/ui/network_chooser_screen.rs:1624-1627

BackupRetentionForm is 250+ lines of unstyled egui with its own private outbox mechanism nothing else in the codebase uses, sporting the only two bare ui.button calls in the file. It works, but it's not playing by the house component rules.

  • RUST-002 · MEDIUM · BLOCKING — WalletDataIncompatible's Display is a 590-character six-sentence instruction block with SQLite sidecar jargon — /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/backend_task/error.rs:502-512, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/app/reconcilers.rs:690-706

WalletDataIncompatible's new message is a genuine improvement over almost nuking the vault — and also a 590-character wall of .sqlite-wal/.sqlite-shm jargon instructing users to hand-transcribe private keys, in direct violation of this repo's own no-jargon error rules. Trim it, and move the recovery steps somewhere a scared user can actually process them.

  • RUST-003 · MEDIUM — Retention's database list omits the per-network shielded database the chokepoint explicitly protects — /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/context/wallet_lifecycle/retention.rs:18-27, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/utils/file_deletion.rs:274-280, /home/runner/work/dash-evo-tool/dash-evo-tool/src/context/wallet_lifecycle/removal.rs:81-91

The deletion deny-list knows the per-network shielded database exists; the retention/prune list forgot it. If upstream ever snapshots it, those backups outlive every retention setting and survive a network clear. At minimum, leave a comment saying the omission is deliberate.

SEC-001 · MEDIUM · BLOCKING — A permission-denied / read-only migration failure still gets the terminal "move your .sqlite files aside" guidance

A permission hiccup and you're already handing the user a six-step 'write down your recovery phrases' eulogy? AccessDenied deserves the same dignified retry path StorageFull got — right now it's misclassified as terminal, and your own last commit admits the mapping isn't settled. Fix the classification before this ships.

SEC-002 · MEDIUM · BLOCKING — Removing a wallet or identity now retains copies of its xpubs, addresses and history for up to the retention period

Removing a wallet used to remove its backups too; now at least one copy of its xpubs/address history sticks around forever via the retention floor, and nobody tells the user. 'Remove wallet' quietly became 'remove wallet, mostly, eventually, for some of it.' Add a purge control or say so out loud in the removal flow.

SEC-003 · MEDIUM · BLOCKING — The hard-link defence is Unix-only: on Windows a backup-named hard link can still poison the retention floor

The headline commit of this whole PR — 'never treat a hard-linked file as an upgrade backup' — only patches one of three enumeration sites, and only on Unix. Windows users and the legacy data.db scanner get to keep enjoying the exact bug this branch exists to kill. Finish the job everywhere it applies.

SEC-004 · MEDIUM — WalletStorageInUse is non-terminal, so its "close the other session" message is logged-and-discarded on the wallet-task path

WalletStorageInUse's nice 'close the other session' message gets logged and thrown away on the ensure_wallet_backend path — the one place someone running two instances would actually see it. Wire it into the terminal-error list, or it's dead code with good intentions.

SEC-005 · MEDIUM · BLOCKING — The new lifecycle lock file is an undeletable single point of failure with a misleading error message

New lock file, new brick: a corrupted or hard-linked .platform-upgrade.lock permanently blocks opening wallet data, the chokepoint refuses to delete it, and the error message blames disk space. That's a self-inflicted 'can't start the app' bug wearing a misdirection costume.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

One recovery-safety blocker remains: legacy backups and Windows backup scanning still allow hard-linked aliases to become retention floors, permitting deletion of independent recovery copies. The revised removal and housekeeping design resolves or supersedes all 21 prior findings; additional suggestions address contention messages, the future-date contract, and two independently reproduced macOS test failures. Focused compatibility, retention-floor, migration-classification, and cleanup checks otherwise passed at the exact head.

🟡 Suggestion: Surface wallet-storage contention instead of discarding it during task dispatch
src/backend_task/mod.rs:1215-1227

The new WalletStorageInUse and retryable PlatformDatabaseUpgrade errors are excluded from is_terminal_storage_open_error, so this gate logs and discards them. The dispatched wallet task then continues without a backend and fails with WalletBackendNotYetWired rather than displaying the specific instruction to close the competing session. Lifecycle-lock contention follows the same path through WalletStorageNotReady. Return the initialization error to the currently dispatched task while preserving its non-terminal classification for future cold-boot retries. Adding contention to the terminal list, as one proposed fix suggests, would incorrectly disable that retry behavior.

In `src/database/legacy_backups.rs`:
- [BLOCKING] src/database/legacy_backups.rs:63-70: Reject hard-linked candidates before selecting the retention floor
  The legacy scanner rejects non-regular entries but accepts hard links. A correctly named hard link to live data.db therefore passes the SQLite-header check and can become the newest usable retention floor. Pruning skips that floor before invoking the deletion chokepoint, then deletes an older independent recovery snapshot; the chokepoint cannot prevent this loss. The same problem remains for bridge and upstream backups on Windows because engine::is_single_link_file returns true for every non-Unix regular file, and the chokepoint's link-count check is also Unix-only. Enforce the single-link invariant before floor selection in every scanner, including Windows, and add legacy and Windows regressions proving that a live-database alias cannot displace an independent snapshot.
- [SUGGESTION] src/database/legacy_backups.rs:54-58: Serialize the legacy backup scan and prune
  Unlike bridge and upstream retention, legacy retention runs without a shared lifecycle lock. The metadata-check, unlink, and deletion-count sequence is therefore not serialized across network contexts. At this exact head on macOS, concurrent_legacy_backup_prunes_do_not_fail failed with 14 reported deletions for nine removable files. Ignoring NotFound does not establish exactly-once counting on this platform, so the production retention report can overcount and the new regression fails. Hold a shared per-database lock across enumeration, floor selection, and deletion.

- [SUGGESTION] src/utils/file_deletion/tests.rs:532-537: Keep the deep-tree fixture within platform path limits
  One thousand one-character directory components still produce a path longer than 2,000 bytes, exceeding macOS's supported path length. The focused test at this exact head failed during create_dir_all with OS error 63, "File name too long", before delete_tree was exercised. Choose a depth within the platform's path budget, including the temporary-directory prefix and leaf filename, so the test validates iterative deletion rather than failing while constructing its fixture.

In `src/utils/backup_prune.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] src/utils/backup_prune.rs:132-136: Align the future-date retention contract with the 24-hour tolerance
  The implementation deliberately trusts creation times up to 24 hours after now, and floor_resists_clock_skew explicitly tests that a copy one minute in the future wins the time floor. However, upgrade-notes.md and the PR description promise that a future-dated copy cannot displace a past copy until its date arrives. For legacy backups, which have no migration-sequence floor, the current behavior can delete an expired past recovery copy while retaining the future-dated one. Either use now as the trust boundary or document the intentional 24-hour exception consistently; the existing test demonstrates that this is a contract mismatch, not an untested accident.
Out-of-scope follow-up suggestions (3)

These are valid observations, but they are outside this PR's scope and should be handled in separate issues or author/maintainer-requested PRs rather than blocking this review.

  • Complete permission and read-only migration guidance in the assigned follow-up — PermissionDenied and ReadOnly migration causes still fall through to WalletDataIncompatible instead of receiving permission-specific guidance. The base revision already mapped all Migration failures to that variant, and this PR's resource-classification changes do not newly introduce or worsen the access-denied path. The maintainer explicitly assigned this concrete guidance issue to stacked PR #1020.
    • Follow-up: Complete PR #1020 with typed permission/read-only migration tests and appropriate guidance on both storage-opening paths.
  • Resolve permitted ancestor symlinks in compatibility-engine SQLite opens — The compatibility engine still opens source and staged databases with SQLITE_OPEN_NOFOLLOW using unresolved ancestor paths. This can reject ordinary macOS /var/folders paths during an upgrade, although header-only retention validation now follows permitted ancestors correctly. The same unresolved SQLite opens are present at the PR base, so this is a concrete pre-existing upgrade-path issue rather than a regression from the new retention behavior.
    • Follow-up: Track a separate fix that resolves permitted ancestor symlinks before compatibility-engine SQLite opens while continuing to reject symlinks at database entries.
  • Keep permission and read-only migration failures out of incompatible-data guidance — Out of scope for this review: the base already routed Migration failures to WalletDataIncompatible, and the current resource guard leaves the access-denied behavior unchanged. The concrete remaining issue is retained as an internal follow-up for the explicitly assigned stacked PR #1020, not as a blocker here.
    • Follow-up: Consider creating a separate issue or author/maintainer-requested PR for this.
