Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Restoring a wallet with a long history never finishes on a phone. Measured on an iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18.7.8, mainnet, restoring a heavily-CoinJoined wallet whose history starts at block 1,129,171: the app ran for 28 minutes, reached ~94%, then crawled and was killed by jetsam at a 2.9 GB footprint. The durable watermark never got past 2,443,000.

The cause is the #846 backward sweep. When a batch commit carries newly derived scripts, those scripts must also be tested against ranges that already committed — nothing else ever looks below committed_height again. That sweep was accumulated per batch and run at every script-carrying commit, and each run walks the whole committed prefix:

Rescan committed filters (200000-1128000)
Rescan committed filters (200000-1133000)
Rescan committed filters (200000-1148000)
...

191 sweeps, every one starting at 200,000 — one unique start height in the whole run. Their ranges sum to 301,253,191 block-filter evaluations, average span 1,577,241. Roughly 14.5 of the 28 minutes were spent inside rescan_committed_range, single sweeps up to 158 s, and the sync task is blocked for the duration while the network keeps delivering.

The forward rescan_batch path is not the problem and is untouched here: 465 events over 245 unique 5000-block spans, in memory, max 8 repeats of any range.

What was done?

The accumulator moves from the batch to the manager (FiltersManager::backward_scripts), and try_commit_batches runs the sweep only once the forward pipeline has drained — the committing batch is the sole entry in active_batches and its end has reached the filter-header tip, so no lookahead can be created past it. Intermediate commits accumulate and commit without sweeping. The per-batch field and its accessors are gone.

earliest_required_height() and the 200,000 floor are deliberately NOT touched. That floor looks too low, but the wallet genuinely has transactions from 1,129,171 and raising it would lose them; narrowing the span is a separate question from removing the repetition.

#846's guarantee is preserved, not weakened. Every newly derived script is still tested against the full committed range before sync completes — the test is deferred, never skipped. Sweep-found blocks charge the committing batch's pending_blocks, so that batch cannot commit and FiltersSyncComplete cannot fire while the work is outstanding. reset_for_rescan keeps the accumulator, where the old per-batch state was silently dropped.

How Has This Been Tested?

committed_range_sweep_coalesces_across_batch_commits — real WalletManager, real BIP-158 filters, four batches, three deriving new scripts at commit, plus a beyond-window block in the first-committed batch (the #846 shape). It asserts both halves: that the sweeps coalesce, and that at the moment FiltersSyncComplete is emitted the beyond-window block's indices are already marked used.

Falsifiable, and checked both ways:

  • against unmodified dev: fails — "got 4 sweeps"
  • with this change: passes, sweep count 2 (one at drain, one follow-up for scripts the recovered block derives)
  • removing only the forward_drained gate: fails the same way

cargo test -p dash-spv --lib — 560 passed, 0 failed, 2 ignored. cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy --all-targets clean.

End-to-end on the device that produced the bug, same wallet, restore from seed:

before after
committed-range sweeps 191 1
filter evaluations 301M ~2.3M
result killed by jetsam at 28 min, incomplete completed in ~14 min
peak footprint 2956 MB 1703 MB
wallet transactions found 6,479 (of an unknown total) 6,884
durable watermark stuck at 2,443,000 reached the tip, 2,524,155

Comparing txid sets rather than counts, the pre-fix run was missing 425 transactions that the fixed run found — and because its watermark had passed them, nothing would ever have rescanned that range.

Breaking Changes

None. Internal scheduling of an existing sweep; no API, storage format, or wire change.

…ommits

The backward sweep introduced for #846 re-tested newly derived scripts
against the whole committed prefix at every script-carrying batch commit.
On a mainnet restore of a heavily CoinJoined wallet that meant 191 full
sweeps from the same floor — 301M filter evaluations, ~14.5 minutes of a
28-minute run that jetsam then killed.

Move the accumulated backward scripts from the per-batch state to the
manager, and run the sweep only when the forward pipeline drains: the
committing batch is the last one active and its end has reached the
filter-header tip. Intermediate commits accumulate and move on, so a sync
shares one walk of the stored history plus one walk per follow-up round
whose recovered blocks derive genuinely new scripts. Sweep hits still
attribute to the committing batch, so its pending_blocks accounting holds
the commit — and with it FiltersSyncComplete — until the backward
fixpoint converges, and the accumulator deliberately survives
reset_for_rescan so a restarted scan still owes the committed prefix its
pass.

The regression test drives four batches, three of which derive new
scripts at commit, through the real wallet pipeline: unmodified code runs
4 committed-range sweeps, coalesced code runs 2 (drain-time sweep plus
one follow-up round), and a beyond-window block in the first committed
batch must still be recovered before FiltersSyncComplete is emitted.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change moves backward-rescan script accumulation from FiltersBatch to FiltersManager. Committed-range sweeps now run after forward processing drains. A regression test verifies sweep coalescing, output recovery, and completion ordering.

Changes

Committed-range sweeps run after forward processing drains. The regression test verifies coalescing, output recovery, and completion ordering.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5aff4

The change coalesces duplicate committed-range rescans during wallet restoration, reducing scan work and memory use while preserving completion of required checks; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

…s tips

`setup()` leaves `filter_header_tip_height` and `target_height` at 0, so
`end_height() >= filter_header_tip_height()` was trivially true and the
test only ever exercised the `active_batches.len() == 1` half of the
gate. `FiltersSyncComplete` was being checked against a zero target for
the same reason. Both tips are now seeded to 399, matching the fixture.

This does not make the height comparison itself covered, and I could not
get it covered: with the comparison deleted the suite still passes. A
fixture where one batch is in flight with more of the chain ahead does
not reach the sweep branch at all in these tests, so an assertion there
passes for the wrong reason rather than for the right one. I removed the
attempt instead of keeping a test that proves nothing.

What that half does in production: it separates "this is the last batch"
from "this is the only batch right now", which is what keeps the sweep
from firing per commit early in a scan. It is exercised by the
end-to-end device run in the PR description, not by the unit suite.

I generally like the PR. Once it reaches the end it finds 6732 txs, but then it goes into high CPU usage rematching everything and downloading a ton of blocks, all false matches — none of them contain a single tx. One block around 2,300,000 does, ending at 6733 txs.

I'd like to hold this PR while I investigate why that happens and, ideally, remove theunnecessary rematching.

I'm also aware of a non-deterministic path in our current logic that I'm trying to pin down, it may be related.

Coordination note from #979: that PR's durable pending-sweep commit persists the backward-sweep obligation across process death (Android LMK kills mid-restore were losing it — funds stayed invisible until a manual rescan), and it currently hooks the per-batch accumulate_backward_scripts / take_backward_scripts this PR removes.

No objection to this PR — the numbers speak for themselves, and deferring sweeps actually makes the durable obligation more valuable (a crash before the single end-of-sync sweep now erases all accumulated scripts instead of one batch's). Proposal in #979: this PR lands first, and #979 rebases its durability onto the manager-level accumulator — persist on entry, clear at the commit of the batch your sweep-found blocks charge. One thing worth keeping in mind here: reset_for_rescan preserving the accumulator (as this PR does) is the in-memory half of exactly that durability story.
