WalkthroughThis change adds mnemonic-backed masternode operator BLS key support. Wallets discover BIP39 seeds, derive keys through the DashSync-compatible path, reserve and release indexes, commit public-key mappings, and recover keys by public key. The wallet database stores public-key and derivation-index mappings. Legacy and descriptor wallets expose seed APIs. Node and wallet interfaces expose the new operations. Tests cover derivation, persistence, recovery, restrictions, conflicts, and invalid data. Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change adds persistent operator-key recovery metadata and bounded synchronous key scans. Merge readiness is reduced because database reload behavior is not directly tested, and worst-case recovery or reservation may temporarily block the calling wallet operation until these risks are fixed or explicitly accepted.

3866-3885: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider caching the walk result to avoid repeated 500-leaf BLS derivation.
WalkMasternodeOperatorSecretsderives every leaf up toMASTERNODE_OPERATOR_KEY_LIMIT(500). Each iteration performs a BLS child derivation plusGetPublicKey(), which is a group scalar multiplication.ReserveMasternodeOperatorKeypays this cost on every reservation, andGetMasternodeOperatorKeypays the full 500-leaf cost on every miss and on every record mismatch. The call runs on the caller's thread, so a GUI or RPC thread blocks for the duration.Consider caching an index-to-public-key map for the current seed, built once per unlocked session, and reuse it for both reservation selection and recovery lookup. The secret can still be derived on demand for the single matching index.

Preliminary review — Codex only
The operator-key derivation and lifecycle implementation is generally careful, but mnemonic-only restoration can reuse an operator key that was previously rotated or revoked because reservation consults only current deterministic-masternode state and wallet-local records. The PR also omits its new Dash-specific files from the non-backported manifest and leaves sensitive BLS chain-code intermediates uncleansed during its new production derivation flow.

- [BLOCKING] src/wallet/wallet.cpp:4001-4008: Mnemonic restoration can reuse a revoked operator key
A mnemonic-only restoration has no entries in `m_mn_operator_indexes`, so reservation excludes a derived key only when the caller supplies it in `in_use`. The node API added by this PR exposes operator keys from the current deterministic masternode list, but a ProUpRegTx rotation replaces the old key and a ProUpRevTx clears it through `ResetOperatorFields()`. The previously used key therefore disappears from both available sources, allowing index 0 to be reserved again and potentially reusing the exact secret that was revoked after compromise. Reservation needs a recoverable record of historical operator-key usage, such as scanning relevant ProRegTx/ProUpRegTx history or another used-index marker that survives mnemonic-only restoration.
- [SUGGESTION] src/wallet/wallet.cpp:3833-3849: Cleanse intermediate BLS chain-code state
The new wallet derivation path repeatedly invokes `bls::ExtendedPrivateKey::PrivateChild()` using mnemonic-derived state. Although `PrivateKey` storage and the serialized leaf secret are cleansed, `ChainCode` has no destructor and its `bn_t` contents remain on the stack after each temporary is destroyed. `PrivateChild()` also leaves the `IRight` and `hmacKey` arrays uncleansed. This PR newly makes that code a production path for wallet-derived operator credentials, so the BLS chain-code object and local derivation buffers need secure cleanup as part of this change.
In `test/util/data/non-backported.txt`:
- [SUGGESTION] test/util/data/non-backported.txt:84: Track the new Dash-specific source files
The PR adds three Dash-specific files, but none is listed in `non-backported.txt`. This manifest supplies the file set used by the Dash cppcheck and clang-format-diff workflows, so the omissions silently exclude the new public interface, wallet header, and unit test from those dedicated checks. `src/hash_x11.h` is already present and should remain followed by the three new paths.

I think the structure here should be improved before this is merged. The wallet should expose a narrowly scoped capability to derive a masternode operator key, rather than adding generic APIs that return the wallet's raw BIP39 seed. In particular, The planned scope should include both mnemonic-backed descriptor wallets and mnemonic-backed legacy wallets. Legacy support is a modest addition when implemented behind the same narrow derivation capability: the legacy manager owns one A cleaner split would be:
The reservation API should also follow the existing Concretely, I am requesting that this PR be reworked to:
A larger wallet-wide mnemonic-store refactor may be worthwhile eventually because descriptor wallets currently duplicate mnemonic material across managers, but that should be separate from this feature. This PR should avoid exposing that existing storage detail through a new general raw-seed API. 🤖 Posted autonomously by Codex on behalf of pasta. |

Final validation — Codex/Sol only (Phase 2 disabled)
The exact head resolves all three prior findings: active-chain history now preserves rotated and revoked operator keys, BLS derivation intermediates are securely cleansed, and the new Dash-specific files are included in the non-backported manifest. The remaining CodeRabbit fixture-cleanup comment is also fixed at the current head, so no in-scope findings remain.

9c3f4ff fix(bls): cleanse generated secret candidate (pasta) Pull request description: ## Issue being fixed or feature implemented `CBLSSecretKey::MakeNewKey()` retains the accepted 32-byte random candidate in its stack buffer after constructing the secret key. The candidate is private key material and should not remain recoverable from the stack longer than necessary. This is an existing issue in random BLS generation, including the `bls generate` RPC. It is intentionally split from #7594 because the wallet-derived operator-key path does not call `MakeNewKey()`. ## What was done? Cleanse the candidate buffer immediately after the key-generation retry loop, before publishing the resulting key as valid. ## How Has This Been Tested? - `make -C src -j6 test/test_dash` - `src/test/test_dash --run_test=bls_tests` (20 cases passed) - `test/lint/lint-includes.py` - `test/lint/lint-whitespace.py` - `git clang-format --diff upstream/develop -- src/bls/bls.cpp` - `git diff --check` Tested on macOS 15/Apple Silicon using the repository depends toolchain. ## Breaking Changes None. ## Checklist: - [x] I have performed a self-review of my own code - [ ] I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas - [ ] I have added or updated relevant unit/integration/functional/e2e tests - [ ] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation - [ ] I have assigned this pull request to a milestone This pull request was created by Codex.

Preliminary review — Codex only
The mnemonic-derived operator-key API is carefully bounded and includes strong active-chain history and crash-safe pending-record handling. One blocking cache-integrity issue remains: a committed wallet-derived key can be issued again when its persisted public-key row contains a stale derivation index, before the original transaction reaches active-chain history.

Add an interfaces::EVO query predicate answering whether an operator BLS public key is assigned to any masternode in the deterministic list at the current chain tip, probing both BLS scheme encodings. This is a per-key chainstate query for callers that select fresh operator keys; it is a UX guard rather than a safety mechanism, so an unready node answers false.

Mnemonic-backed wallets (legacy and descriptor, one genuine mnemonic source) can derive masternode operator BLS keys along the DashSync-compatible path m/9'/coin'/3'/3'/index (first four levels hardened, coin type 5 on mainnet and 1 elsewhere). The wallet keeps a keypool-style bounded window of 500 derivable indexes. Window public keys are materialized from one seed expansion (PBKDF2 runs once per walk, not per index) and stored as advisory mnopidx records; the secret is never stored because the seed reproduces it. An index is recorded as consumed before its secret is ever returned, and consumption is permanent - no sealing, txid binding, or rollback protocol. The transaction sync path marks window keys used when a ProRegTx or ProUpRegTx assigning them is seen (comparing BLS public keys as values, so legacy/basic wire encodings cannot cause a miss), which gives restore-plus-rescan the same historical coverage as fund recovery. getNewOperatorKey accepts a caller-supplied predicate (interfaces::Node's EVO query) to skip keys currently assigned in the deterministic list; races with concurrent registrations are acceptable because DIP3 consensus rejects duplicate operator keys. Malformed window records are advisory: they log a warning and are ignored, never failing the wallet load. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Preliminary review — Codex only
The deterministic derivation and consume-before-publication flow is careful, and the prior stale-index reissuance issue is fixed. However, the advertised historical-use recovery is bypassed when rescans run before window materialization and by descriptor fast rescans, while a complete stale advisory cache is trusted without seed verification; these are three in-scope blockers.

- [BLOCKING] src/wallet/wallet.cpp:3954-3958: Do not rescan before the operator-key window exists
`MaybeMarkMasternodeOperatorKeyUsed()` discards every provider assignment while `m_mn_operator_keys` is empty, but restoration can rescan in exactly that state. `upgradetohd` installs the supplied mnemonic and immediately scans from genesis without first materializing the window; encrypted wallets are additionally relocked before that scan. Similarly, `CWallet::Create()` ignores `WALLET_LOCKED` from its pre-attach materialization attempt and can let `AttachChain()` rescan while the map is empty. Unlocking or requesting a key only materializes the window after those transactions have already been skipped. If an index was historically assigned and later rotated or revoked, the current-list predicate no longer sees it and the restored wallet can return the same operator secret again. Ensure the window is available before scanning, or retain observed assignments and reconcile them after unlock.
- [BLOCKING] src/wallet/wallet.cpp:1415-1418: Do not filter provider transactions out of descriptor rescans
The recovery hook only sees transactions passed to `SyncTransaction()`, but descriptor rescans enable `FastWalletRescanFilter` and skip blocks whose basic filter does not match a wallet script. `ExtractSpecialTxFilterElements()` includes owner, voting, payout, and ProTx fields, but it does not include `pubKeyOperator` from ProRegTx or ProUpRegTx payloads. A provider assignment whose ordinary inputs, outputs, and other payload fields are unrelated to this wallet can therefore be in a skipped block. Even an unlocked descriptor restoration with a materialized window can miss rotated or revoked historical keys and later issue the same index. Operator-history recovery needs an unfiltered scan of the relevant range or filter/index support that includes operator public keys.
- [BLOCKING] src/wallet/wallet.cpp:3896-3907: Verify a complete advisory window against the current seed
This shortcut declares the window complete solely because it contains 500 records with unique in-range indexes. `LoadMasternodeOperatorKeyRecord()` accepts any canonical BLS public key paired with such an index, so a complete stale cache—such as swapped mappings or records belonging to another mnemonic source—passes without derivation. `ConsumeMasternodeOperatorKey()` then persists `used=true` before deriving the recorded index, discovers that the derived public key does not match, and returns `DERIVATION_ERROR`; repeated attempts can consume all stale rows while the actual derived window remains unavailable. Because these records are explicitly advisory, derive and reconcile them at least once after database load or source change, and only use this fast path after the in-memory window has been verified against the active mnemonic source.

If an index was historically assigned and later rotated or revoked, the current-list predicate no longer sees it and the restored wallet can return the same operator secret again. Ensure the window is available before scanning, or retain observed assignments and reconcile them after unlock.

🔴 Blocking: Do not filter provider transactions out of descriptor rescans
The recovery hook only sees transactions passed to SyncTransaction(), but descriptor rescans enable FastWalletRescanFilter and skip blocks whose basic filter does not match a wallet script. ExtractSpecialTxFilterElements() includes owner, voting, payout, and ProTx fields, but it does not include pubKeyOperator from ProRegTx or ProUpRegTx payloads. A provider assignment whose ordinary inputs, outputs, and other payload fields are unrelated to this wallet can therefore be in a skipped block. Even an unlocked descriptor restoration with a materialized window can miss rotated or revoked historical keys and later issue the same index. Operator-history recovery needs an unfiltered scan of the relevant range or filter/index support that includes operator public keys.

🔴 Blocking: Verify a complete advisory window against the current seed
This shortcut declares the window complete solely because it contains 500 records with unique in-range indexes. LoadMasternodeOperatorKeyRecord() accepts any canonical BLS public key paired with such an index, so a complete stale cache—such as swapped mappings or records belonging to another mnemonic source—passes without derivation. ConsumeMasternodeOperatorKey() then persists used=true before deriving the recorded index, discovers that the derived public key does not match, and returns DERIVATION_ERROR; repeated attempts can consume all stale rows while the actual derived window remains unavailable. Because these records are explicitly advisory, derive and reconcile them at least once after database load or source change, and only use this fast path after the in-memory window has been verified against the active mnemonic source.

Issue being fixed or feature implemented
Masternode operator BLS keys are currently generated randomly and must be backed up separately from the wallet seed; losing them requires a ProUpRegTx to rotate. DashSync (iOS/Android) already derives operator keys deterministically from the wallet mnemonic at
m/9'/coin'/3'/3'/index. This PR brings the same derivation to Dash Core so the recovery phrase is the only backup, with a design settled after review of the previous attempt on this PR: deterministic derivation with permanent, recorded consumption — no reservation/sealing protocol.What was done?
Commit 1 (
feat(evo)): addsinterfaces::EVO::isMasternodeOperatorKeyInUse(CBLSPublicKey), a per-key query of the deterministic masternode list at the chain tip viaCDeterministicMNList::HasOperatorKeyUnderAnyScheme(both BLS scheme encodings probed). It is a UX guard for selecting fresh keys, not a safety mechanism: an unready node (including a snapshot chainstate whose masternode list diff is not yet available) answers false, and historical-only usage answers false (historical coverage is the wallet's job).Commit 2 (
feat(wallet)): mnemonic-backed wallets (legacy and descriptor, exactly one genuine mnemonic source) derive operator keys along the DashSync-compatible path (first four levels hardened, leaf not; coin type 5 mainnet / 1 otherwise; Chia-legacyExtendedPrivateKey::FromSeed). Key points:mnopidxrecords (pubkey → {index, used}); secrets are never stored.WriteIC) before its secret is ever returned; consumption is permanent and never rolled back. If the DB write fails, no key is returned. If the wallet is locked while the in-use predicate runs, the request fails without consuming an index.interfaces::WalletgainshasMasternodeOperatorKeySource,getNewMasternodeOperatorKey(is_in_use)andgetMasternodeOperatorKey(pubkey). Theis_in_usepredicate (commit 1's query, supplied by the caller) is consulted without wallet locks; wallet code references no node symbols and never takes cs_main. Races with concurrent registrations are acceptable: DIP3 consensus rejects duplicate operator keys against the current list.DSProviderTransactionsTests.m(testCollateralProviderRegistrationTransaction/testNoCollateralProviderRegistrationTransactionembed the expected operator public key for the test seed at index 0).RPC/GUI consumers of the new interfaces are intentionally left to follow-up PRs. This supersedes the previous head of this PR (provisional reservations, write-ahead sealing, pending-broadcast records, and the mandatory wallet flag are removed) and replaces the #7609 chain-history prerequisite with the current-list query plus wallet-side rescan coverage.
How Has This Been Tested?
New unit test
evo_dip3_activation_tests/operator_key_in_use_follows_current_list(register → true; ProUpRegTx rotation → old false/new true; ProUpRevTx → false). New suitemasternode_operator_tests(11 cases): DashSync known-answer vectors (testnet + mainnet), legacy/descriptor parity, mnemonic-passphrase sensitivity, exact recovery and input validation, sync-hook marking under both BLS encodings, sync-hook write-failure leaving state consistent, predicate skip without consumption and index-ordered candidate walk, encrypted lock/unlock behavior with materialize-on-unlock and mid-request lock returningWALLET_LOCKEDwithout consuming, DB-write-failure fail-closed, unsupported-source fail-closed, persistence across reload, malformed/stale advisory record handling, and BDB→SQLite migration. Also ranwallet_testsandwalletload_tests; each commit builds and passes independently. Lint: circular-dependencies and whitespace clean.Breaking Changes
None. New wallet records (
mnopidx) are advisory and ignored by older code. One documented residual: restoring a seed on a new wallet may reuse an operator-key index whose key was used historically but is no longer registered and not visible to rescan (pruning/birthday limits identical to fund recovery); no consensus or fund-safety impact.Checklist:
