The recovery documentation mixes feature descriptions with integration steps and contains inconsistent API examples. This update organizes the overview and both API references around the recovery workflow.

  • Explain the service’s role, guardian approvals, grace period, and ownership transfer at finalization.
  • Separate email/SMS registration from recovery and distinguish channel verification, guardian, and owner thresholds.
  • Add endpoint tables and clarify Safe-account versus owner SIWE signatures.
  • Correct endpoint URLs, authorization headers, required fields, JSON examples, and response descriptions against the service implementation.
  • Replace broken signing code with guidance linked to the integration examples.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Clarified that applications submit execution and finalization transactions while the service sponsors gas.
    • Updated examples, errors, status codes, response formats, pagination, and recovery lifecycle details.
  • API Improvements
    • Updated recovery filtering and pagination guidance, including hexadecimal nonces and creation timestamps.
    • Recovery listings now return a plain array without a total count.
    • Removed alert-subscription API schemas.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates Safe Recovery lifecycle documentation, UX and Email/SMS API references, and recovery service contracts. It documents application-triggered execution and finalization, revised authentication flows, pagination, statuses, nonce formats, and response values.

Changes

Safe Recovery documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recovery lifecycle and data contracts
docs/wallet/recovery/1-overview.mdx, docs/wallet/plugins/4-recovery-flow-guide.mdx, src/data/safeRecoveryService.ts
The documentation now describes application-triggered execution and finalization with gas sponsorship. Service contracts update thresholds, nonces, statuses, timestamps, guardian identity, and boolean success responses.
Recovery UX API reference
docs/wallet/recovery/2-ux-api.mdx
The reference documents setup, bearer authentication, recovery operations, pagination, alert subscriptions, SIWE requirements, response formats, status codes, and troubleshooting.
Email/SMS recovery authentication workflow
docs/wallet/recovery/3-auth-api.mdx
The reference documents registration, verification, guardian-signature requests, challenge handling, SIWE rules, authentication, response examples, status codes, and troubleshooting.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ca056

The documentation may cause alert-activation failures or lead applications to wait for execution they must trigger themselves. The impact is bounded, so merge risk remains low.

- **Invalid signature:** Check the signing address, chain ID, and exact message or recovery data. SIWE messages must use the statement for the requested action.
- **Invalid or expired code:** Verify that the code matches the challenge ID. If it has expired, create a new alert subscription and verify its new code.

Correct the alert verification-code guidance.

/alerts/activate uses subscriptionId and challenge. The current text refers to a challenge ID, which can cause users to look for or submit the wrong identifier.

Proposed correction
-- **Invalid or expired code:** Verify that the code matches the challenge ID. If it has expired, create a new alert subscription and verify its new code.
+- **Invalid or expired code:** Submit the delivered code as `challenge` with the `subscriptionId` returned by `/alerts/subscribe`. If the code has expired, create a new alert subscription and verify its new code.

- listByAddress returns a plain array, not a {recoveries, total} envelope;
  document the real nonce, createdAt, limit, and offset query params
- execution and finalization are gas-sponsored but client-triggered,
  never submitted automatically by the service
- alerts fire on on-chain module events, not on off-chain request creation
- guardian signature failures are 400; 403 is for SIWE and sponsorship checks
- drop the stale postAlertSubscribe schemas and align finalizeData wording

Make Step 4 explicitly application-triggered.

Line 172 implies that the service executes recovery automatically when the guardian threshold is met. The application must call executeRecoveryRequest, as shown in the example and stated at Line 77.

Proposed correction
-Once all guardian signatures are collected or the threshold is met, the service executes the recovery to initiate the grace period:
