feat(wallet): run the background chain sync and report its status

[MichaelTaylor3d]

What

crates/dig-wallet/src/sage/sync.rs was a complete peer-subscription loop with zero production
call sites. This adds the call site, its lifecycle, and the control-plane surface that reports it,
so sync_state.peak_height is actually written on a running node.

• sage/sync_supervisor.rs (new) — connect → catch up → consume pushes → reconnect, with an
  exponential 1s..60s jittered backoff that resets after a session lasting >= 60s, and a
  watch-based shutdown that returns rather than aborts. Exactly one subscription peer (per-connection
  subscription state; N peers would interleave reorg rollbacks into a single-writer DB).
• sage/sync.rs — SyncError::NoPuzzleHashes + the empty-set guard, and a one-method
  PuzzleStateSource seam so initial_sync is reachable from a test at all (Peer cannot be
  constructed without a socket).
• sage/service.rs — WalletServiceConfig::enable_chain_sync (default true, a test seam,
  no env var) + manual Default; spawns the supervisor; attaches the handle to the backend.
• sage/rpc.rs — with_sync_handle/sync_handle/wallet_sync_status. chain_peak and
  sync_status untouched.
• dig-node-service — control.wallet.syncStatus + control.peerCounts on
  dig-node-control-interface 0.8.0, dig-node wallet sync-status / dig-node peers counts.

The invariant

initial_sync and set_initial_sync_complete(true) MUST NOT run over an empty puzzle-hash set.

Not defensive coding — the measured live node has 0 derivations, so the empty set is the DEFAULT
path. Unguarded, the chain is: empty subscribe → peer says is_finished at once →
set_initial_sync_complete(true) → db.is_synced() true → routing::route(true, true) == Source::Db
→ every wallet-scoped read answers from a DB with zero coins. Those reads are correct today only
because the flag is 0, so this wiring is exactly what could make a funded wallet report empty.

Guarded in both places: the supervisor does not ask, and initial_sync refuses. Both are proven
load-bearing by mutation (below).

The subscription set is custody's persisted public keys via StandardArgs::curry_tree_hash,
re-read per connect attempt. No seed, nothing that can sign — §908 is not approached.

The oracle boundary

peak_height is read straight from sync_state. It never traverses WalletBackend::chain_peak,
which falls back to the coinset oracle behind fallback_rate: on an unauthenticated loopback method
that would both answer the replica's own progress with a third party's height and open a second
unbounded egress path (#1957), which also discloses {IP, timestamp, coin id}. SyncHandle::status
is handed only a WalletDb, so there is no oracle to reach. chia_peer_count is served to both
methods from one accessor, asserted equal over real HTTP.

Blast radius checked

gitnexus is disabled per §2.0's override, so this was done with ripgrep + direct reads.

• sync::initial_sync — 0 production callers before this PR (rg across the workspace); its only
  callers were none, which is the whole ticket. Now called by ChiaPeerSession::catch_up. The
  signature is unchanged; the body moved into initial_sync_with.
• sync::run_update_loop — same, 0 production callers; now called by ChiaPeerSession::run.
• WalletServiceConfig — 3 construction sites (server.rs:386, live_funds_tip_e2e.rs:72,182), all
  updated. The Default derive was replaced, so any missed site fails to compile.
• WalletService — new public field; server.rs is the only consumer.
• CONTROL_METHODS / OWNED_CONTROL_METHODS — guarded by the lockstep partition test and the
  CLI-parity drift test; both updated and green.
• Not touched: chain_peak (rpc.rs:1029), sync_status (rpc.rs:3217), network.rs's
  per-peer telemetry. #2507 (replica-peak freshness) stays out of scope.

git diff --stat touches only those files.

Evidence

cargo test -p dig-wallet --lib → 351 passed, 0 failed (initial_sync_refuses_an_empty_puzzle_hash_set,
initial_sync_completes_over_a_non_empty_puzzle_hash_set, supervisor_with_no_derivations_never_marks_initial_sync_complete,
supervisor_with_no_derivations_still_advances_the_replica_peak, supervisor_runs_catch_up_once_custody_has_keys,
phase_is_syncing_when_caught_up_but_no_peer, phase_ladder_not_started_syncing_synced,
chia_peer_count_distinguishes_observed_zero_from_unobservable,
status_reports_the_replica_peak_and_never_an_oracle_height,
backoff_grows_then_resets_after_a_long_lived_connection, reconnect_reruns_catch_up,
shutdown_stops_the_supervisor_and_the_task_ends, user_managed_peers_are_tried_before_discovery,
supervisor_tls_identity_is_generated_never_file_backed).

cargo test -p dig-node-service → 335 + all integration suites passed, 0 failed, including the new
the_wallet_sync_status_and_peer_counts_agree_and_need_no_token. cargo clippy --all-targets clean.

Mutation proofs (mutate → run → restore from a file copy, never git checkout):

• Delete the sync.rs guard → initial_sync_refuses_an_empty_puzzle_hash_set FAILS
  (an empty subscription set must be refused, not performed: () — the double reached
  set_initial_sync_complete), while its non-empty control still passes.
• Neuter the supervisor guard → supervisor_with_no_derivations_never_marks_initial_sync_complete
  FAILS with left: 50, right: 0 (50 catch-up attempts over an empty set) and
  ..._still_advances_the_replica_peak FAILS too.

Live mainnet (R2 — the plan's one unproven assumption): CONFIRMED. live_mainnet_peer_advances_the_peak
(#[ignore]d, not run in CI) dialled real peers and reported
live mainnet peak reported with ZERO subscriptions: 9126851 within ~6s, with is_synced() still false.
A full node does push new_peak_wallet unsolicited to a wallet peer that subscribed nothing, so the
peak-only session is viable and no fallback shape is needed.

Not in this PR

No version bump — sequencing is the orchestrator's. Superproject pointer likewise.

CHANGES-REQUIRED - correctness gate, head 6a62e5e

The core invariant holds, and I proved it by EXECUTION, not by reading. I mutated both guards in my own worktree and chained mutation+test in one invocation:

mutation	result
remove the sync.rs floor guard only	initial_sync_refuses_an_empty_puzzle_hash_set FAILED; supervisor tests stayed green (the supervisor guard catches it)
remove BOTH guards	initial_sync_refuses_an_empty_puzzle_hash_set, supervisor_with_no_derivations_never_marks_initial_sync_complete and supervisor_with_no_derivations_still_advances_the_replica_peak all FAILED

That second row also settles divergence (1): a supervisor test going red when the floor guard is removed proves the supervisor tests run through the real initial_sync_with, not a double. The seam is justified. So are (2) and (3) - shutdown_stops_the_supervisor_and_the_task_ends and backoff_grows_then_resets_after_a_long_lived_connection both execute, the latter in about 2s. (4) is fine.

Also verified by execution: 21 of 22 sage::sync* tests run (the 22nd is a correctly ignored live-mainnet acceptance test), and the_wallet_sync_status_and_peer_counts_agree_and_need_no_token runs over the real HTTP gate.

Verified by reading: wallet_sync_status reaches db.sync_state() only and never chain_peak (rpc.rs is +44/-0, so chain_peak and the pre-existing sync_status at :3217 are untouched). chia_peer_count is served from one accessor in both handlers. dig_peer_count reads connected_peers, not relay.peer_count - correct. Section 908 is clean: custodied_public_keys() reads the manifest public keys, touches no seed and cannot sign.

Four blocking findings - and one of them is that this PR green "Test + coverage" check ran ZERO tests.

---

Findings 1 and 2 (both BLOCKING) - not anchorable to a diff line, so they are here

BLOCKING 1 - the lock file is stale, and it is why five required checks are RED.

This PR bumped crates/dig-wallet/Cargo.toml to 0.16.0 and crates/dig-node-service/Cargo.toml to 0.105.0, but Cargo.lock still records dig-wallet 0.15.0 and dig-node-service 0.104.0. Every CI job passes --locked, so all of them die with "cannot update the lock file ... because --locked was passed to prevent this".

That is Clippy, build .deb (linux-amd64), (linux-arm64), build .msi (windows-x64), build .pkg (macos-universal) - and the test job (finding 2). Confirmed locally: building this tree regenerated exactly these two version lines and nothing else.

@copilot fix this: run "cargo update --workspace" (or "cargo check --workspace") at the repo root and commit the regenerated Cargo.lock, which must then contain dig-wallet 0.16.0 and dig-node-service 0.105.0. Do NOT fix this by removing --locked from any workflow - --locked is the thing that caught it.

---

BLOCKING 2 - the required "Test + coverage" check reported SUCCESS on a run that executed ZERO tests.

The step runs: cargo llvm-cov nextest --workspace --locked --retries 2 --summary-only | tee coverage-summary.txt

The pipe means the step exit status is tee's, not cargo's, and "bash -e" does not cover the left-hand side of a pipe. There is no "set -o pipefail".

Evidence from THIS PR run (job 93300038153, 29 seconds, reported pass):
error: cannot update the lock file ... because --locked was passed to prevent this
error: process didn't exit successfully: cargo nextest run ... --locked --retries 2 (exit status: 102)

Exit 102, job green, and the coverage summary step then printed "no coverage output" into the job summary. So right now ANY test failure in this repo passes this gate silently. This is a repo-wide gate-integrity defect rather than one this PR introduced, but this PR is the one that would have merged on the false green, so it blocks here.

@copilot fix this: add "set -euo pipefail" as the first line of the run block for the "cargo llvm-cov nextest (test + coverage, flaky-retried)" step in .github/workflows/ci.yml, so the cargo exit status propagates. Do NOT drop the "| tee" (the summary step needs the file) and do NOT add continue-on-error. After finding 1 is fixed this step must go green by actually running the suite; if it stays red that is a real failure and must not be silenced.

Findings 3-6 are inline threads below.

BLOCKING 3 - a wallet created after boot is NOT picked up until the peer disconnects, and both the module doc and SPEC.md claim otherwise.

The subscription set is re-read once per connect. On the empty-set branch the supervisor logs "peak-only session" and falls through to session.run(...), which is awaited until the peer drops. Nothing re-polls the source while a session is alive.

So on the DEFAULT install state measured on the live node (zero puzzle hashes, coins 0 rows): the node boots, attaches a healthy peer, the user creates a wallet - and no catch-up is attempted until that peer happens to disconnect, which for a healthy peer can be hours or days.

This is not a lie to the user (phase stays syncing, reads stay on the fallback tier, so nothing reports a funded wallet as empty), but it defeats this PR purpose in the single most common sequence, and it is untested: there is no test for a wallet created AFTER Harness::start; supervisor_runs_catch_up_once_custody_has_keys seeds custody before starting.

The claims that are currently false:

• PuzzleHashSource doc: "Re-read on every connect attempt, so a wallet created after boot is picked up without restarting the node."
• SPEC.md 18.6a: "re-read on every connect attempt so a wallet created after boot is picked up without a restart."

This is a design change on the wallet read path, so it is NOT for @copilot - please route it to an implementer. Either (a) make the empty-set branch poll the source and open a catch-up once it becomes non-empty (bounded interval, cancelled on shutdown, and it must still refuse the empty set), or (b) if the latency is accepted, correct the PuzzleHashSource doc and SPEC 18.6a to say the catch-up begins on the next reconnect. Either way add a test pinning the chosen behaviour.

BLOCKING 4 (section 2.5) - dead code carrying a false claim.

AppState::wallet_sync (the field at ~:103 and this accessor) is never read anywhere in the repo - not by peer_counts, not by wallet_sync_status, not by any test. Both handlers take the count from ctx.wallet.wallet_sync_status() on the backend.

The doc comments are therefore wrong in a way that will mislead the next reader: the field says it is "the ONE place a live Chia peer count is observed" and that both methods "MUST take it from here", which is exactly what the code does not do. Someone auditing the single-source property would look in the wrong place.

@copilot fix this: delete the wallet_sync field from AppState, the wallet_sync() accessor, and the "wallet_sync: wallet_service.sync" line in build_state. Do NOT instead rewire the handlers to use it - the backend accessor is already the single source and is what the tests exercise, so the correct fix is removing the unused duplicate. Keep WalletService::sync in dig-wallet, which is a legitimate public handle.

[Copilot]

Addressed on 3d44b87: AppState::wallet_sync, its accessor, and the duplicate build_state wiring are removed; the backend accessor remains the single source.

Addressed on 3d44b87: Cargo.lock now records dig-wallet 0.16.0 and dig-node-service 0.105.0, and the cargo llvm-cov nextest step now starts with set -euo pipefail so cargo’s exit status propagates through tee.
