Pushed a second fix onto this branch ( The stallA testnet wallet restore froze with the whole chain downloaded and none of the tail of it stored: Peers stayed connected and
Why it cannot recover
All 47 checkpoint segments finished downloading by 22:23:12 (segment 25 last). From that instant no further Filter headers, filters and blocks then coasted to a stop over the next four minutes as they consumed the backlog they had been racing ahead on — which is why the symptom looks like it starts at 22:27:20 rather than 22:23:12. The change
What this does not explainWhy the first drain opportunity — the message that completed segment 25 — promoted nothing. No error is logged anywhere near it, and no early return in the current code fits the evidence. This makes the pipeline able to recover from that miss; it does not explain the miss. A Test
Note for reviewersTwo subsystems in one PR is not ideal and I would normally split them. They are here because they are the same defect shape — state that only a network event can advance, with no periodic path to retry it — and because the second was found while validating the first in a real restore. Happy to split if you would rather review them separately. Also worth someone's eye, found while tracing this and not addressed here: |

Assert tick-driven synchronization completion.
Line 376 invokes tick, which now calls finalize_sync_if_complete. The test only verifies BlockHeadersStored. Assert SyncState::Synced and BlockHeaderSyncComplete so a regression that stores the last segment but leaves the manager in Syncing fails.
As per coding guidelines, "Write unit tests for new functionality".

`FiltersManager::start_sync` decided whether in-flight work survived a
disconnect by asking `!self.active_batches.is_empty()`. `start_download`,
which the other branch falls into, asserts something stricter:
debug_assert!(self.is_idle(), "manager should have no in-flight state on start");
and `is_idle()` is four conditions — `active_batches`, `tracker`,
`pending_batches` and `filter_pipeline` all empty. The guard checked one
of them.
They come apart routinely. `on_disconnect` deliberately preserves the
first three and calls `requeue_in_flight()`, which moves the pipeline's
in-flight slots to *pending* — making the pipeline non-idle rather than
restoring it. And a batch that finished downloading leaves
`active_batches` while its verified output waits in `pending_batches` and
its blocks wait in the tracker. Any of those outlasting the last active
batch sent a reconnect through the guard and into the assert.
In a build with debug assertions on — which `dev-ios` and every other
`dev`-profile build is — that aborts the host process. It has: a
TestFlight build of the Dash iOS wallet (9.0.0/25, iOS 26.6) died with
SIGABRT in exactly this frame after 33 minutes in the background, where
network teardown and restore make the disconnect/reconnect cycle routine.
The guard now asks `is_idle()`. Resuming is safe for all four cases: the
path sets `Syncing`, and `tick` in that state runs `send_pending`,
`store_and_match_batches` and `try_process_batch` unconditionally, with
`send_pending` a no-op when the pipeline has nothing queued.
`is_idle` becomes `pub(super)` so both the decision and the assertion
read the same predicate.
The regression test fails without the guard change, panicking at the
assert — the production crash reproduced in a unit test.
cargo test -p dash-spv --lib # 538 passed
cargo clippy --all-targets + cargo fmt --check # clean
The previous commit widened `start_sync`'s resume guard to the four-part `is_idle()` the assert actually states. It left the other route in. `handle_new_filter_headers`, taken when a filter-header event lands while the manager sits in `WaitingForConnections` or `WaitForEvents`, asked the same subset question — `!self.active_batches.is_empty()` — before falling through to `start_download`. A batch that finished downloading leaves `active_batches` while its verified output waits in `pending_batches` and its blocks wait in the tracker, and `on_disconnect` moves the pipeline's in-flight slots to pending rather than clearing them. Any of those outlasting the last active batch reached the same `debug_assert!(self.is_idle())` — an abort in any build with debug assertions on, which is what killed a TestFlight build of the wallet. Extending the target and returning is the correct answer for all four components, not only for active batches: `wanted_message_types()` for filters is unconditionally `[CFilter]`, so `handle_message` keeps running regardless of state and `store_and_match_batches` drains the leftovers. Once genuinely idle, the next filter-header event re-enters this arm and starts the download, or `stop_sync` resets the state on a full peer loss. Found by review on #955 — I fixed one call site and missed this one. The regression test fails without the change, at the assert. cargo test -p dash-spv --lib # 548 passed cargo clippy --all-targets + cargo fmt --check # clean

Both regression tests asserted `pending_batches.len() == 1` after the guarded call. That does not separate resuming from restarting: `start_download` preserves `pending_batches` too, so a build with the old subset predicate — and with `debug_assert!` compiled out, as in release — reinitializes the pipeline, inserts a fresh active batch over the surviving work, and still leaves the count at 1. The tests would pass on the bug they exist to catch. Assert what actually distinguishes the two: an empty `active_batches` after each call, plus the unchanged `WaitForEvents` state on the `handle_new_filter_headers` arm, which must return without touching the state machine. cargo test -p dash-spv --lib sync::filters::manager # 49 passed

The bug
FiltersManager::start_syncdecides whether in-flight work survived a disconnect by asking one question:start_download, which the other branch falls into, asserts a stricter one:and
is_idle()is four conditions —active_batches,tracker,pending_batchesandfilter_pipelineall empty. The guard checked one of them.They come apart routinely:
on_disconnectdeliberately preserves the first three (its own doc says so) and callsrequeue_in_flight(), which moves the pipeline's in-flight slots to pending — making the pipeline non-idle rather than restoring it.active_batcheswhile its verified output waits inpending_batchesand its blocks wait in the tracker.Any of those outlasting the last active batch sends a reconnect through the guard and straight into the assert.
Why it matters
In a build with debug assertions on this aborts the host process.
debug_assert!is not a no-op there, and the iOS profile pairs it withpanic = "abort", so there is no unwinding either.It has already happened in the field. A TestFlight build of the Dash iOS wallet (9.0.0/25, iPhone17,2, iOS 26.6) died with
SIGABRTin exactly this frame:The app had been running 33 minutes with
Role: Non UI— backgrounded, where iOS tearing down and restoring networking makes the disconnect/reconnect cycle routine rather than exotic.The fix
The guard now asks
is_idle()— the same predicate the assert states.is_idlebecomespub(super)so the decision and the assertion cannot drift apart again.Resuming is safe for all four cases, not just the one the guard covered: the resume path sets
Syncing, andtickin that state runssend_pending,store_and_match_batchesandtry_process_batchunconditionally.send_pendingreturnsOk(0)when the pipeline has nothing queued, so a manager whose only surviving state is a pending batch or a tracked block still gets drained by the ticker instead of being wedged.Deliberately not
reset_for_rescan()beforestart_download: that would also clear the stateon_disconnectdocuments itself as preserving, throwing away verified batches and forcing a re-download of work already done.Test
test_start_sync_resumes_when_only_pending_batches_surviveputs a verified batch inpending_batcheswithactive_batchesempty, asserts the two predicates disagree at that moment, and drivesstart_sync.It fails without the guard change, panicking at the assert — the production crash reproduced as a unit test.
Note for reviewers
tickhas the same narrow predicate inlet has_pending_work = !self.active_batches.is_empty();, used to decide whether to tick whileSynced. It cannot abort — the worst case is that a surviving pending batch waits for a state change instead of being drained — so I left it alone rather than widen the diff. Worth a look by someone who knows whether that path can strand work.Also: #921 and #902 both change
start_download's signature (requests→network). Neither touches this guard, but whichever lands first will make the other a trivial conflict here.Summary by CodeRabbit
