Issue being fixed or feature implemented

The manager's wallets map is a tokio::sync::RwLock, and the two event handlers that resolve a wallet through it are synchronous and cannot await:

  • BalanceUpdateHandler probed it with try_read() and dropped the event's balance snapshot whenever a lifecycle write (wallet create / remove / load) was in flight. The event bus neither retries nor coalesces, so a dropped snapshot leaves superseded totals on screen until some later balance-bearing event happens to arrive — and nothing guarantees one does.
  • SpendObservationHandler carries an entire deferral queue whose only reason to exist is that same try_read() failing (dashpay/platform#4309).

Extracted from #4406, where it was one commit among many. It is independent of that PR's subject and is a live fix on its own.

What was done?

  • PlatformWalletManager::wallets becomes arc_swap::ArcSwap — already this crate's idiom for rare-write / hot-read state. Readers take a wait-free snapshot that can never fail or block, so the drop window no longer exists rather than being papered over.
  • The rare lifecycle writers publish via rcu, preserving the generation-checked removal's check-and-remove atomicity (wallet_lifecycle.rs, load.rs).
  • Sync-context accessors that used blocking_read() become wait-free loads, removing their panic-inside-runtime hazard (accessors.rs).
  • With the read infallible, SpendObservationHandler's pending queue loses its premise: there is no contention outcome left to defer. The queue, its MAX_QUEUED_SPEND_OBSERVATIONS cap and the shedding warning are removed, and the handler applies every observation at delivery (spend_observer.rs, −181 lines).

How Has This Been Tested?

cargo test -p platform-wallet — 928 tests pass.

Two regression tests pin the behaviour against the closest window the new type admits — a lifecycle writer parked mid-rcu across the delivery:

  • manager::tests::balance_snapshot_survives_wallets_map_write_contention — the snapshot must land in the wallet's balance atomics before that writer commits.
  • wallet::core::broadcast::tests::a_wallets_map_write_in_flight_does_not_cost_a_spend_observation — the in-broadcast fence must clear anyway (replaces the old contention/deferral test, whose scenario is now unreachable).

Breaking Changes

None. wallets is not part of the public API surface; get_wallet_blocking keeps its name and signature (it is simply no longer blocking).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance Improvements

    • Wallet data is now accessed through wait-free snapshots, improving responsiveness during concurrent wallet updates and synchronization.
    • Balance updates and spend observations are applied reliably without being dropped due to temporary contention.
  • Reliability

    • Wallet registration, removal, loading, and rollback operations now publish updates atomically, reducing race-condition risks during concurrent activity.

The manager's `wallets` map was a `tokio::sync::RwLock`, and the two
synchronous event handlers that resolve a wallet through it cannot
await: `BalanceUpdateHandler` probed with `try_read()` and dropped the
event's balance snapshot whenever a manager lifecycle write (create /
remove / load) was in flight, and `SpendObservationHandler` carried a
whole deferral queue to survive the same probe failing. The bus neither
retries nor coalesces, so a dropped snapshot leaves superseded totals on
screen until some later balance-bearing event happens to arrive, and
nothing guarantees one does.

Convert the map to `arc_swap::ArcSwap` (already this crate's idiom for
rare-write / hot-read state): readers take a wait-free snapshot that can
never fail or block, so the drop window no longer exists rather than
being papered over. The rare lifecycle writers publish via `rcu`,
preserving the generation-checked removal's check-and-remove atomicity,
and the sync-context accessors that used `blocking_read()` become
wait-free loads, removing their panic-inside-runtime hazard.

With the read infallible, `SpendObservationHandler`'s pending queue
loses its premise: there is no contention outcome left to defer, so the
queue, its 4096-outpoint cap and the shedding warning go, and the
handler applies every observation at delivery. Its regression test keeps
`#4309` pinned against the closest window the new type
admits — a lifecycle writer parked mid-`rcu` across the delivery — as
does the balance handler's own test, which asserts the snapshot lands
before that writer commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The wallet map changes from an RwLock-protected BTreeMap to an ArcSwap map. Readers use wait-free snapshots. Lifecycle updates use rcu. Spend observations are applied directly without a deferred queue.

Changes

Wallet map synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Map storage and lifecycle updates
packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/manager/mod.rs, packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/manager/load.rs, packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/manager/wallet_lifecycle.rs
PlatformWalletManager stores wallets in ArcSwap. Registration, loading, rollback, and generation-checked removal use rcu.
Manager snapshots and synchronization readers
packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/manager/accessors.rs, packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/manager/dashpay_sync.rs, packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/manager/dpns_sync.rs, packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/manager/platform_address_sync.rs
Accessors and synchronization managers use synchronous ArcSwap::load() snapshots instead of asynchronous read guards.
Balance and spend event delivery
packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/wallet/core/balance_handler.rs, packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/wallet/core/spend_observer.rs
Balance updates use wait-free wallet lookup. Spend observations apply on delivery, and the pending queue is removed.
Contention and integration tests
packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/manager/mod.rs, packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/wallet/core/broadcast.rs
Tests verify balance and spend observations during an in-flight rcu map update.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fd275

A failed wallet load can currently roll back a newer wallet generation that reused the same ID, potentially removing valid wallet state. The PR should not merge until rollback is generation-aware.

…shed

Two follow-ups on the review of this PR.

`cargo fmt` on the `wallets_map` test helper, whose return type the
ArcSwap change left wrapped.

And the rollback in `load_from_persistor` tracked only `WalletId`, so it
removed by id alone. That is safe while nothing else touches the map,
and this is the interleaving where something does: this load publishes a
generation under an id, a concurrent `remove_wallet` frees that id, a
registration publishes a NEW generation under it, and only then does a
later iteration fail and reach the rollback. Removing by id would delete
that new registration — a live wallet this call never created and whose
owner is still using it — and the inner-manager unwind that follows
would strip its backing too.

The rollback is now generation-checked, the same rule `remove_wallet`
applies to its own removal: an entry is reclaimed only while it still
holds the `Arc<WalletGeneration>` this load inserted, and the
inner-manager unwind keys off that same answer. An id that never reached
`self.wallets` — this call failed between the two inserts — has no such
owner and unwinds as before.

The decision is a pure `rollback_targets`, so the invariant is pinned
without racing a real load against a real re-registration:
`rollback_only_reclaims_the_generation_this_load_published` asserts both
halves — reclaimed while ours, refused once superseded.

Pre-existing: the id-only removal predates the ArcSwap change, which
altered how the map is written, not what the rollback matched on.
