Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)
Verified the supplied Phase-2 finding against head 14cb5d6 and confirmed one non-blocking wording issue. The warning treats the configured creation date as an exact scan boundary, although SDK wallet creation uses an earlier checkpoint height with an additional safety margin. Phase-1 review was intentionally skipped; no blocking findings were supplied or established by this verification.

- [SUGGESTION] common/src/main/res/values/strings.xml:102: Describe earlier transactions as potentially missing, not never downloaded
The displayed creation date is not an exact boundary of downloaded history. `BirthHeightResolver.resolve()` selects a checkpoint at or before that date and subtracts another 4,032 blocks, and `DashSdkServiceImpl.bindAppWallet()` passes that resulting height to SDK wallet creation. Consequently, even a fresh restore with an unchanged preference can download transactions predating the displayed date. Saying those transactions were "never downloaded" and that history covers "only" the later period can contradict the transaction list. Describe pre-date history as potentially incomplete instead; this preserves the partial-scan warning without claiming an exact boundary the UI does not know.
Review finding on #1573. The note claimed transactions before the chosen creation date "were never downloaded" and that the history covers "only" the later period. Neither is true, and the screen already showed it: BirthHeightResolver takes the last checkpoint at or before the date and subtracts a 4,032-block safety margin, so the scan begins earlier than the date and pre-date history does arrive. The QA capture from the device run says so outright — a wallet restored with a creation date of 22 Sep 2026 listed transactions back to 15 Aug 2026, more than a month before the date the note called the cut-off. The warning was contradicting the transaction list directly beneath it. Reworded to "may be missing", which states the risk without asserting a boundary the UI cannot know. "Synced from <date>" is left as it is: it understates coverage, which is the safe direction for a warning, and the resource comment now records why both strings lean that way.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)
Independently reviewed the complete diff at 35348c1 and found no actionable in-scope defects; the prior wording issue is fixed, and the documented actual-scan-floor limitation remains outside this PR under #1572. The engine-specific date handling, reactive propagation, both UI surfaces, and safer picker default are consistent with the intended behavior without changing spending eligibility. Diff whitespace checks passed, but focused unit tests could not start because no usable Java runtime was available; the installed Homebrew JDK returned permission denied.

SR-22. A wallet restored with a creation date on the restore screen only
ever scans the chain from that date forward — the SDK resolves the date
to its birthHeight (SdkWalletBinder.sdkWalletBirthTimeSecs), dashj feeds
it to its fresh-store checkpointing. Everything the wallet's keys could
have received before it is never looked at. The UI said none of this: the
Network Monitor's stage read "Synced", and the home screen signals
completion by the "Syncing N%" label DISAPPEARING, which over a partial
balance is the strongest false claim of the two. Reported live as 21.7 of
107.08 tDASH, labelled "Synced".
The seam now carries the scan floor. boundedScanStartSecs() reproduces
each engine's own floor rule and compares it against the wallet's own
earliest key time, so it flags UNSCANNED HISTORY rather than merely "a
date was picked": a protobuf-backup restore whose keys predate the chosen
date is scanned in full under the SDK's minimum rule and is not flagged,
while dashj — where the user's date wins outright — is flagged on the
same inputs. It rides through L1SyncUiStatus and L1SyncDetail as
scanStartDateSecs, from a live config feed, so a later full rescan
(Settings, no date) retires the warning without a relaunch.
isSynced is deliberately untouched. It gates funds and feature paths, and
a bounded scan that has caught up is genuinely usable; withholding sends
and the shortcut bar forever would be a worse bug than the one this
fixes. What changes is only what the UI is allowed to claim:
- Network Monitor: the SYNCED stage renders "Synced from <date>", with
a note below it naming the missing range and how to widen it.
- Home screen: the header label no longer vanishes on a bounded scan —
it stays, reading "Synced from <date>".

SR-22's trigger. The picker's confirm button is a one-tap commit, and the value it commits decides how much of the chain gets scanned — yet the dialog opened on today, so confirming without scrolling asked for a scan starting now. That is the worst possible accidental value: it scans almost nothing and restores a fraction of the balance. Open on the date already chosen if there is one, else on the earliest selectable date (the dialog's own minDate). An accidental confirm now costs sync time instead of history — the direction the restore path's rule already leans: "scanning too early only costs time; scanning too late hides funds". Independent of the sync-status fix in the previous commit, which makes a bounded scan report itself honestly however the date was arrived at. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Tested on qa_pr (Android 16, testnet) against the live reference wallet and the advice does not hold: Settings -> Rescan blockchain with the date cleared arms a watermark rewind to 0 and the resolver reports birth height 0, but the scan never widens. Observed twice — 40 minutes of the filter cursor oscillating between 1,401,407 and 1,416,407 (the dated bind's own birth height) without descending, and again after a close-from-recents and relaunch, which settled straight back to SYNCED at tip. The balance stayed at the partial 22.704714 tDASH both times, against 108.051627 for the same wallet restored with no date, and the history still began 20 September 2026 rather than reaching back to 2020. So the note pointed at a remedy that does not work, and following it makes things worse: clearing the stored date retires this very warning while the wallet is still missing the same history. The note now states the fact and stops there. The rescan defect itself is pre-existing — nothing in this branch touches the rescan path — and is filed separately. It is also the reason this warning cannot yet be keyed on what the engine actually scanned: the scan floor that outlives the preference lives in the bound SDK wallet's birthHeight, which is not exposed to the app. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Keep the warning until the scan actually covers the earlier history.
When Settings clears the creation-date preference without widening the scan, this flow emits null. boundedScanStartSecs() then returns null, so the Network Monitor hides its warning and the home header removes “Synced from,” although earlier transactions may still be missing. The PR reports this behavior from device testing. Track the scan’s persisted coverage instead of using the current preference as proof that the scan is complete. Retire the warning only when a scan has covered the earlier range.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
Reviewed the complete diff at 47401bd and found no in-scope blocking issues. The prior wording finding is fixed; the preference-versus-applied-coverage limitation is real, but matches the explicitly deferred #1572 follow-up rather than a regression in scan behavior. git diff --check passed; unit tests were not rerun during this verification.

Out-of-scope follow-up suggestions (1)
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.
- Retain the partial-scan warning until wider coverage is confirmed — Out of scope for the explicitly bounded implementation, not a refutation of the reported behavior. L1SyncStatusService.kt:683-693 derives the annotation from the current preference, so clearing it removes the warning. SettingsFragment.resetBlockchain() writes that preference before requesting the reset; SdkWalletBinder.armSpvRescanForBlockchainReset() can return false; BlockchainServiceImpl ignores that result; and DashSdkServiceImpl.bindAppWallet() returns an existing wallet without changing its birth height. Those reset and binding implementations are unchanged from base 87b7a99, where the same partial wallet already displayed bare completion. The PR explicitly limits this annotation to the stored preference and defers applied-coverage tracking and ineffective rescans to #1572. Requiring durable per-wallet coverage tracking here would expand that stated scope; this PR does not newly worsen the underlying scan or the post-reset completion claim.
- Follow-up: Consider creating a separate issue or author/maintainer-requested PR for this.
Fixes SR-22.
The problem
A wallet restored with a Wallet Creation Date only scans the chain from that date forward —
the SDK resolves the date to a
birthHeight(SdkWalletBinder.sdkWalletBirthTimeSecs), dashjfeeds it to its fresh-store checkpointing. Everything the wallet's keys could have received
before it is never looked at.
The UI said none of this. The Network Monitor stage read a bare "Synced", and the home
screen signals completion by the "Syncing N%" label disappearing — which over a partial
balance is the stronger false claim of the two.
Reproduced on this branch's base: restoring the shared QA reference wallet with the date picker
confirmed at its default gave 22.704714 tDASH of the wallet's real 108.051627, history
starting 20 Sep 2026 instead of reaching back to 2020, and the app reporting "Synced".
What changed
1. The seam carries the scan floor.
boundedScanStartSecs()reproduces each engine's ownfloor rule and compares it against the wallet's own earliest key time, so it flags unscanned
history rather than merely "a date was picked":
protobuf-backup restore whose keys predate the chosen date is scanned in full and is not
flagged.
getWalletCreationDate() ?: wallet.earliestKeyCreationTime— theuser's date wins outright — so the same inputs are flagged there. The two rules are
reproduced separately rather than averaged; a status line that is honest about the wrong
engine is not honest.
It rides through
L1SyncUiStatusandL1SyncDetailasscanStartDateSecs, from a live configfeed, so clearing the date retires the warning without a relaunch.
isSyncedis deliberately untouched. It gates funds and feature paths (sends, the shortcutbar, CrowdNode staking, Join DashPay eligibility), and a bounded scan that has caught up is
genuinely usable. Withholding those forever would be a worse bug than the one this fixes. Only
the user-facing claim changes:
naming what is missing.
"Synced from <date>".
2. The picker opens on its floor, not on today. Its confirm button is a one-tap commit and
the value it commits decides how much of the chain gets scanned, yet the dialog opened on
today — the worst possible accidental value. It now opens on the date already chosen, else on
its own
minDate. An accidental confirm costs sync time instead of history, which is thedirection the restore path's rule already leans ("scanning too early only costs time; scanning
too late hides funds"). That default also lands below
EARLIEST_HD_SEED_CREATION_TIME, soconfirming it stores no date at all.
Testing
63 host-JVM unit tests pass (
L1SyncStatusServiceTest,NetworkMonitorViewModelTest), 11 ofthem new — both engine regimes, the backup-restore non-case, the no-wallet-yet case, and the
label swap.

FATAL.Screenshots are black on this build — the app window carries
FLAG_SECURE— so the evidence isuiautomatorhierarchy dumps.Device testing was done at the pre-rebase SHA (
08c5ea128, on70569d61e); the branch hassince been rebased onto the current base, which touched
sdkL1ScanCaughtUpin regions this PRdoes not. Unit tests were re-run after the rebase.
Known gap — see #1572
This warning is derived from the stored creation-date preference, because the scan floor the
engine actually used is not exposed to the app. Settings → Rescan blockchain with the date
cleared therefore retires the warning — but, per #1572, it does not actually widen the scan, so
the wallet stays just as partial while the app goes quiet about it again.
The note's first draft told users to rescan; that advice was removed once #1572 was observed.
Exposing the bound SDK wallet's real
birthHeightwould close both that issue and this gap, andis the right follow-up.
