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-announcement 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. ChangesHeader synchronization recovery
Quorum validation hardening
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR improves synchronization recovery and malformed-peer handling, but the current head still has a boundary-overflow path that can panic or produce invalid synchronization ranges, and completed tip segments still accept multi-header unsolicited announcements contrary to the repository requirement; these correctness and availability risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

…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.

`send_pending` pulls the whole slice off the pending queue with `take_pending` up front, but only a dispatched request reaches `mark_sent`. Both early exits — a `request_filter_headers` failure and the `batch_starts` `InvalidState` guard — returned without putting the batch they bailed on, or the batches still queued behind it, anywhere. Nothing recovers them: `handle_timeouts` and `requeue_in_flight` both walk in-flight only, and `extend_target` only appends above `target_height`. `next_expected` then stays pinned to the lowest lost batch, the batches above it accumulate in `buffered` so `is_complete` never turns true, and `handle_new_headers` re-inits the pipeline only when it is complete — so filter-header sync wedges for good. Same failure mode as the one `requeue_failed` was added for. Add `DownloadCoordinator::return_unsent`, which restores items to the front of the queue in their original order and leaves retry counts alone (the request never reached a peer, so no peer failed to answer it), and call it on both exits. Batches already dispatched stay in flight and are untouched. Regression tests cover the dispatch failure and the mid-run state error; both fail without the restore, with `pending_count` at 0. cargo test -p dash-spv green (SKIP_DASHD_TESTS=1 for the node-gated dashd_* suites); fmt and clippy clean.

On "Reject unsolicited post-sync header batches": declining this one — a multi-header announcement is benign here, and the suggested gate would introduce a stall. The batch is fully validated before anything is written. Routing requires The cost of applying it is real, though. Multi-header announcements are normal, and a dropped one has no recovery path: Separately, and not what this finding describes: |

Expand recovery test coverage.
Extend the coordinator tests to preserve an existing retry count when returning an item that never left the queue, and add public-API integration coverage confirming that an undispatched filter-header batch is reissued in order.

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.
