Conversation
Audit findings on merged #964/#950/#960/#934, verified at dev tip 5877d15. dash-spv filter-header sync: - #964: process_cfheaders is fallible, but receive() drops the batch from the coordinator and batch_starts first. A failed store left next_expected pinned with nothing tracking the batch (extend_target only appends above target), so filter-header sync stalled. Re-enqueue the batch on a failed store. - #964/#960: init/extend_target committed target_height before their fallible stop-hash lookups, and handle_new_headers advanced the block-header watermark before the fallible init/extend/send. A failure then left the watermark past work that never queued, and the tick's storage-tip check never re-armed. Resolve every batch before mutating state, and restore the watermark on error. dash-spv block-header sync: - #950: reset_tip_segment and the receive-path tip reset assigned next_to_store forward to the tip index, dropping still-downloading lower segments out of send_pending's active window for good. Only ever move it back toward the tip. - #960: the stale-announcement sweep ran only on the Synced tick branch, so a Syncing manager with a permanently unobtainable announced hash reset the tip segment forever and never emitted BlockHeaderSyncComplete. Sweep in every state so the retry loop is bounded. dash masternode (sml): - #934: find_rotated_masternodes_for_quorums derived the cycle base with the unhardened rotated_cycle_base_height and indexed the reconstructed set raw with the wire-supplied quorum_index. Since the index is not signature-covered, a peer could drive a CorruptedCodeExecution that aborted feed_qr_info and wedged sync. Use the hardened rotated_quorum_cycle_base, bounds-check the index, and classify InvalidQuorumIndex as Skipped so one entry degrades instead of aborting the feed. - #934: rotation_cl_sigs_by_work_height took last-write-wins over unvalidated wire data, so a crafted diff could re-key a genuine work height and fail the aggregate check on honest data. Drop a work height whose entries disagree on the signature rather than serve a forged one. - #934: CycleBaseHeightTooLow had been inserted mid-enum, shifting the persisted bincode discriminants of later variants; move it to the end so a legacy engine blob still decodes correctly. Adds regression tests for every fix, including feed_qr_info tests over the existing mainnet QRInfo fixture. cargo test -p dash-spv -p dashcore green (node-gated dashd_* integration tests skipped via SKIP_DASHD_TESTS); fmt and clippy clean.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds stale-request recovery and atomic retry behavior to block-header and filter-header synchronization. It also hardens rotated-quorum validation, handles conflicting signatures, preserves quorum error serialization, and classifies invalid indexes as skipped verification.

Quorum validation hardening
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change hardens synchronization and masternode handling, but current code can still lose filter-header requests on dispatch failure and accept malformed post-sync header batches; either issue can wedge synchronization and block downstream progress, so merge should wait for fixes.

179-195: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winReject unsolicited post-sync header batches.
This branch accepts multiple headers after a completed tip resets. The existing batch path then processes the headers as a requested response. Require exactly one header before changing segment state.
Proposed fix
-use crate::error::SyncResult; +use crate::error::{SyncError, SyncResult}; if segment.complete && segment.target_height.is_none() { + if headers.len() != 1 { + return Err(SyncError::InvalidState(format!( + "unsolicited post-sync announcement contained {} headers", + headers.len() + ))); + } segment.complete = false; self.next_to_store = self.next_to_store.min(idx);Based on learnings: “unsolicited post-sync block header announcements always contain exactly one header.”

…posure The comment claimed a Skipped entry "is never treated as verified either way, so this cannot cause a false accept". That overstates the isolation: quorum_entry_for_hash_at_or_before_height (masternode_list_engine/ helpers.rs) excludes only Invalid entries, and dash-spv-ffi's platform_integration uses that lookup to serve quorum public keys, so an Invalid->Skipped reclassification does keep the entry servable on that path. Rewrite the comment to state the true situation: nothing is marked Verified, rotated-cycle stores still retain only Verified entries, and the lookup exposure is pre-existing (Skipped(NotMarkedForVerification) is the default status for quorums entering a stored list) — this change neither creates it nor widens it beyond entries already present in stored lists. Tightening the lookup to require Verified is noted as a deliberate follow-up, out of scope here as a behavioral change. Comment-only; no code change.

Audit findings on merged #964, #950, #960, and #934, all reproduced at
devtip5877d15f. Each is a robustness/availability defect (sync stall or DoS wedge); none is a false-accept. Every fix is fail-safe and ships with a regression test.dash-spv — filter-header sync
#964 — failed
process_cfheadersstranded a batch.pipeline.receive()clears a batch from the coordinator andbatch_startsbefore the caller runs the fallibleprocess_cfheaders. A storage-write failure leftnext_expectedpinned with nothing tracking that batch, andextend_targetonly appends abovetarget_height, so the hole was never revisited and filter-header sync stalled. Fix: re-enqueue the batch (requeue_failed) on a failed store so the next tick retries.#964/#960 — watermark/target advanced before the fallible work.
init/extend_targetcommittedtarget_heightbefore their fallible stop-hash lookups, andhandle_new_headersadvanced the block-header watermark before the fallibleinit/extend_target/send_pending. On failure the watermark sat past work that never got queued, and the tick'stip > block_header_tip_heightcheck never re-armed. Fix: resolve every batch (resolve_batches) before mutating pipeline state, and restore the watermark on error.dash-spv — block-header sync
#950 —
next_to_storeforward-jump stranded lower segments.reset_tip_segmentand the receive-path tip reset setnext_to_storeforward to the tip index.send_pendingonly requests[next_to_store, next_to_store + ACTIVE_SEGMENT_WINDOW), so a still-downloading lower segment fell out of the window for good and header sync hung. Fix: only ever movenext_to_storeback toward the tip (min).#960 — stale-announcement sweep unreachable while
Syncing. The sweep ran only on theSyncedtick branch. ASyncingmanager with a permanently unobtainable announced hash reset the tip segment and re-requested forever (finalize_sync_if_completerefuses to finish while any announcement is outstanding), never emittingBlockHeaderSyncComplete— so every downstream manager stalled behind it. Fix:prune_stale_announcementsruns in every tick state, bounding the loop.dash — masternode (sml)
#934 — rewritable
quorum_indexwedgedfeed_qr_info.find_rotated_masternodes_for_quorumsderived the cycle base with the unhardenedrotated_cycle_base_height, then indexed the reconstructed set raw with the wire-suppliedquorum_index. The index is not signature-covered, so a peer could drive aCorruptedCodeExecutionthat a non-inferredInvalidturned into a whole-feed abort, wedging masternode sync. Fix: derive through the hardenedrotated_quorum_cycle_base(now shared with the reconstruction path), bounds-check the raw index, and classifyInvalidQuorumIndexasSkippedso the one tampered entry degrades instead of aborting the feed.#934 — last-write-wins in
rotation_cl_sigs_by_work_height. The map was built from unvalidated wire data; a crafted diff could re-key a genuine work height with a forged signature and fail the aggregate check on honest data. A work height maps to one work block with one ChainLock signature, so two differing signatures can only come from tampering. Fix: drop a work height whose entries disagree, so its quorums degrade to a recoverableSkippedrather than being reconstructed against a forged signature.#934 — mid-enum variant broke persisted discriminants.
CycleBaseHeightTooLowwas inserted betweenInvalidQuorumIndexandCorruptedCodeExecution, shifting the bincode discriminants of every later variant so a persisted engine blob decoded as the wrong error on upgrade. Fix: move it to the end of the enum (mirrors the PR's sibling change).Deferred (lower-priority "also consider" items)
store_ready_batches): needs restructuring the pipeline'stake_ready_to_store/store split so drained-but-unstored headers stay recoverable — not a clean localized change, and the failure is typically a genuine chain-break validation error. Deferred.filter_headers/sync_manager): a minor no-op-avoidance guard; low value and touches the same tick path as the fix(dash-spv): promote finished header segments from the tick, not only on a message #960 watermark fix. Deferred.storage/segments.rsto release errors): changes release-mode read semantics on a hot storage path and needs call-site analysis to confirm the guarded state never occurs benignly in production. Deferred to avoid turning latent-but-harmless states into new hard errors.Tests
