The masternode engine now looks block heights up in the header storage instead of keeping its own block container, which never got most non-rotating quorum heights. Platform quorums verified on mainnet: 24/24 (4/24 on dev). The engine moves privately into dash-spv.

A start with no new block no longer overwrites the stored QRInfo with one built on it, so every start replays all stored messages (mainnet: 48/48 on four consecutive starts, no MnListDiff re-requested).

Closes #1109
Closes #939
Closes #940

Breaking changes

The masternode list engine moves from dashcore into dash-spv as a private type.

dashcore

  • Removed the sml::masternode_list_engine module (MasternodeListEngine, MasternodeListEngineBlockContainer, MasternodeListEngineBTreeMapBlockContainer and helpers).
  • Removed the qrinfo-capture feature.
  • Removed TryFromWithBlockHashLookup / TryIntoWithBlockHashLookup; use MasternodeList::from_diff(diff, height, network).
  • MasternodeList::apply_diff no longer takes previous_chain_lock_sigs and returns MasternodeList instead of (MasternodeList, Option<BLSSignature>).
  • Removed MasternodeList::quorum_hashes, non_rotating_quorum_hashes and rotating_quorum_hashes.
  • Removed error variants: SmlError::{UnknownError, FeatureNotTurnedOn}, QuorumValidationError::{RequiredBlockHeightNotPresent, VerifyingMasternodeListNotPresent, RequiredRotatedChainLockSigNotPresent, CommitmentHashNotPresent, FeatureNotTurnedOn}, MessageVerificationError::CycleHashEmpty.
  • Removed LLMQEntryVerificationSkipStatus::{MissingRotationChainLockSig, OtherContext}.

dash-spv

  • Removed the MasternodeListEngine, MasternodeListEngineBlockContainer and MasternodeListEngineBTreeMapBlockContainer re-exports.
  • DashSpvClient::masternode_list_engine is now pub(crate). Read the newest list with DashSpvClient::latest_masternode_list() (async) or DashSpvClient::latest_masternode_list_blocking() from threads outside the async runtime, such as Platform's *_blocking accessors.

dash-spv-ffi

  • Removed FFIDashSpvClient::masternode_list_engine.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added verification of rotated and non-rotated quorums, including ChainLock and InstantSend signatures.
    • Added access to the latest available masternode list.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved masternode-list and quorum recovery after restarting, and made quorum updates more resilient to missing or incomplete data.
    • Corrected storage lockfile naming for directories with dotted names.
    • Improved ChainLock validation across nearby masternode lists.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SPV crate adds a storage-aware masternode list engine for QRInfo processing, quorum reconstruction, and validation. Storage replay and sync managers use the new engine. Dash Core list APIs and engine exports change, and client and integration tests are updated.

Changes

Masternode list engine and verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
List and verification contracts
dash/src/sml/*, dash/src/sml/masternode_list/*, dash/Cargo.toml, dash/src/test_utils/sml.rs, dash/src/sml/masternode_list_engine/*
MasternodeList::from_diff accepts an explicit height. apply_diff returns the updated list and does not attach rotating quorum signatures. Related verification statuses, error variants, helpers, and engine modules change or are removed.
Engine state and QRInfo processing
dash-spv/src/sml_engine.rs
The new engine tracks masternode lists and rotated-quorum cycles, maps QRInfo signatures to work heights, validates entries, stores verified cycles, and applies diffs. Tests cover signature mapping, QRInfo processing, and cycle storage.
Quorum reconstruction and engine maintenance
dash-spv/src/sml_engine/helpers.rs, dash-spv/src/sml_engine/rotated_quorum_construction.rs, dash-spv/src/sml_engine/validation.rs
The engine reconstructs rotated-quorum members, validates non-rotating and rotated quorums, and provides bounded quorum lookup and pruning.
Storage replay and masternode sync
dash-spv/src/storage/masternode.rs, dash-spv/src/storage/mod.rs, dash-spv/src/sync/masternodes/*, dash-spv/src/sync/events.rs
Storage replay orders valid messages by known base height and skips unreadable or mismatched entries. QRInfo sync uses engine-derived work requests and heights. Storage keeps an existing QRInfo when a replacement depends on lists built by that entry. Lockfile paths distinguish dotted sibling directories.
ChainLock and InstantLock validation
dash-spv/src/validation/*, dash-spv/src/sync/chainlock/manager.rs, dash-spv/src/sync/instantsend/*, dash-spv/src/sync/sync_coordinator.rs
ChainLocks are checked against lists around their signing height. InstantLocks select a rotated quorum by request ID and verify its signature. The sync managers use these validation paths for incoming and pending locks.
Client integration and regression coverage
dash-spv/src/client/*, dash-spv/src/lib.rs, dash-spv/src/test_utils/*, dash-spv/src/sync/masternodes/manager.rs, dash-spv/tests/dashd_masternode/*, dash-spv/tests/qrinfo_integration_test.rs, dash-spv-ffi/src/*
Client and sync types use the storage-aware SPV engine. The FFI engine accessor and crate-root engine re-exports are removed. Client list queries, test utilities, and integration tests use the updated accessors and verify restart replay.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 49a44

The engine migration is mergeable with small follow-ups. A reorg at an already stored QRInfo height can cause a later restart to re-request data. An extreme ChainLock height can overflow a range bound. Both fixes are one-line guards.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 49a44

The change reorganizes security-sensitive state and validation. The inspected signature checks remain in place, and direct external access is reduced. No introduced security bypass was established, but recovery guarantees and the complete path from peer messages to trusted state remain only partially demonstrated.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated security-sensitive scope is the consuming SPV client's chain-finality state, transaction-lock state and quorum data exposed through client queries. A compromised upstream quorum-data path could affect multiple consumers sharing the engine; wider cross-instance or deployment exposure was not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The inspected lock paths establish message authenticity through quorum-selected signing digests and BLS verification rather than accepting a message solely because it arrived from a peer. The underlying digest verifier invokes the quorum public key's verification routine.
  • observed — ChainLock header matching remains permissive when the header is absent or storage fails, and persisted best-chainlock metadata is restored without re-running signature verification in that loader. These behaviors are unchanged in the inspected base-to-head manager comparison; local storage integrity remains part of the trust model.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — QRInfo processing can insert or prune lists before a later validation error. The live rejection path retains that engine while not persisting the rejected message, and replay can continue with mutations from a failed application. The base already had these partial-failure behaviors; no material worsening was established. Consequently, rollback of rejected input and live-versus-restarted state equivalence are not proven guarantees.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider an explicit transactional processing policy: stage QRInfo mutations until acceptance, or document which independently validated sub-results may survive rejection. Verify equivalent accepted state after rejection, cancellation and restart so failed input cannot silently alter the shared trust state.

7-7: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Mark the public dashcore API removal as a breaking change in the PR title.

The title uses the fix(dash-spv) prefix. The change also removes public dashcore APIs:

  • The masternode_list_engine module.
  • The TryFromWithBlockHashLookup / TryIntoWithBlockHashLookup traits.
  • Public LLMQEntryVerificationSkipStatus variants.
  • The apply_diff and from_diff signatures.

It also moves the engine into dash-spv and removes the FFI engine accessor. That move is a large refactor bundled with the #939, #940, and #1109 fixes.

Two options:

  • Use a breaking-change marker, for example fix(dash-spv)!: …, and list the removed dashcore APIs in the description.
  • Split the engine migration (refactor) from the QRInfo same-tip storage fix (fix).

Either option gives downstream dashcore users an accurate changelog entry.

As per path instructions: "If a PR mixes unrelated concerns (e.g., a bug fix bundled with a refactor or new feature), suggest splitting it into separate focused PRs."

ZocoLini and others added 2 commits October 5, 2026 19:15
The engine kept its own block container, fed by the sync and the replay
only for the hashes they expected it to need. Most non-rotating quorums
never got a height, so their work-block lists were requested again on
every start (10-23 diffs, including a ~500 KB full list) and 20 of 24
Platform quorums stayed unverified.

The engine now lives privately in dash-spv (`sml_engine`), generic over
`BlockHeaderStorage`, and looks every height and hash up in the header
chain. The block container, the height feeding in sync and replay,
`known_mn_list_heights` and `build_mnlistdiff_request_pairs` are gone:
`missing_work_block_list_requests` asks only for the work-block lists of
unverified quorums.

Also removed: engine state nothing read (known snapshots, quorum
statuses), the always-None rotation signature plumbing of
`MasternodeList::apply_diff`, the block-hash-lookup traits (replaced by
`MasternodeList::from_diff`), helpers and error variants only the engine
used. The 48 MB mainnet engine fixture is
replaced by a 189 KB one holding what its tests read: the lists'
ChainLock quorums, the rotation cycle and the block heights.

InstantLock and ChainLock verification moves out of the engine into
`InstantLockValidator` and `ChainLockValidator` in `validation`, which
the InstantSend and ChainLock managers now use instead of their own checks.
They take only what they verify against: the rotated quorums of the lock's
cycle, and the ChainLock quorum type with the lists around the signing
height. The InstantLock structure check rejects inputs with a null txid
again; `InstantSendManager` had dropped it.

Validated: dash-spv unit 607, dashd_sync 32, dashd_masternode 10, FFI 90.
Mainnet bench from scratch: wallet unchanged (7120 txs, 20806424 sat),
QRInfo 32/32 verified, 23 work-block diffs all applied. Restarting the
CLI on that storage: replay 24/24, no work-block diff re-requested.

Masternode messages are stored by tip height. A start with no new block
requests a QRInfo for the tip already stored, from a list the stored QRInfo
built, and storing it replaced that QRInfo. The next replay could not apply
it, nor the work-block diffs built on its lists, so it rebuilt nothing and
the diffs were requested again (on mainnet, 25/48 messages and 22 diffs every
other start).

The storage now keeps the stored QRInfo when the new one is applied on top of
a list it builds. A new one that does not depend on it, for instance after a
replay that failed, still replaces it.

The restart dashd test now starts a third time with no new block and fails
without the fix: the replay rebuilds no list.

Fixes #1109.

Few things to look at:

1. Malformed InstantLocks are no longer rejected when their cycle is unknown

dash-spv/src/sync/instantsend/manager.rs:150-172: on dev, validate_structure ran unconditionally before anything else. It now lives inside InstantLockValidator, which only runs when rotated_quorums_of_cycle(&cyclehash) returns Some. A lock with a zero signature, no inputs or a null input txid plus a random cyclehash is now queued as pending for up to an hour (keeping the manager out of Synced), cached under its txid (so the genuine lock for that tx is later dropped as a duplicate) and emitted as InstantLockReceived { validated: false }.

Please run the structure check before the cycle lookup, in both places that build the validator (:153 and :261, ideally via one shared helper), and bring back a manager-level test like the removed test_instantsend_structural_validation. The test helper at :437 was switched to a non-null txid, so nothing covers this path right now.

2. Breaking API change: mark it and give Platform's blocking callers a path

This removes the dashcore::sml::masternode_list_engine module, TryFromWithBlockHashLookup/TryIntoWithBlockHashLookup, the old apply_diff signature, several error/skip-status variants, the qrinfo-capture feature, the dash_spv::MasternodeListEngine* re-exports, FFIDashSpvClient::masternode_list_engine, and makes DashSpvClient::masternode_list_engine pub(crate).

Platform (v5.0-dev) calls client.masternode_list_engine() in packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/spv/runtime.rs at 507, 540, 584, 608 and 621. It only reads latest_masternode_list(), so the new DashSpvClient::latest_masternode_list() covers the async ones, but 540, 584 and 621 are *_blocking functions using blocking_read and can't use an async-only accessor. Please add a non-async accessor (or agree on the migration with Platform), and retitle with ! (e.g. fix(dash-spv)!:) like #1066, #1076 and #1093, listing the removed API in the body. CHANGELOG.md:65 and :108 also still mention the FFI engine accessor.

3. Public signatures expose types from the private sml_engine module

QRInfoFeedResult is used in the public field SyncEvent::MasternodeStateUpdated.qr_info_result (sync/events.rs), and MasternodeListEngine in the public new() of MasternodesManager, InstantSendManager and ChainLockManager. External users can't name either type, and the three managers can no longer be constructed outside the crate. Please re-export QRInfoFeedResult intentionally and make those constructors pub(crate).

4. Unit tests for the two fixes

  • MasternodeListEngine::missing_work_block_list_requests (dash-spv/src/sml_engine.rs:223) is the core of the first commit but is only exercised through the sync manager and the dashd tests. Please cover: verified quorums skipped, rotating and retired types skipped, unknown height skipped, targets deduplicated, base picked from the nearest lower list with the all-zero fallback.
  • The keep/replace branch in store_qr_info (dash-spv/src/storage/masternode.rs:332-341) is only covered on its keep side by the dashd restart test. Extending storing_the_same_height_twice_keeps_the_newer_message with "unrelated QRInfo replaces", "different tip hash after a reorg replaces" and "corrupt stored file replaces" would pin it down.

`DashSpvClient::latest_masternode_list_blocking` gives callers outside the
async runtime, such as Platform's FFI threads, a replacement for the engine
accessor this branch makes private. The changelog lists the removed API.

…cycle

`InstantLockStructureValidator` checks a lock's structure and
`InstantLockValidator` only its signature. The InstantSend manager runs
the structure check first, so a malformed lock of an unknown cycle is no
longer kept pending, cached under its txid or emitted.
