scheduleTask runs a task inline when its time has already passed, and that path called execute() once with no retry - so the bounded retry added earlier only covered tasks handed to the scheduler. That is backwards: the inline path is the one a restart takes for every batch that expired while the service was down, and nothing re-arms those until the next restart. Route both paths through executeWithRetry, which now returns the final error so an inline caller still learns it failed. Caught in review on #1170.

PROTOCOL-CRITICAL: human review required.
Overview
Three real bugs fixed, four new primitives added for the epoch-sweep path. The code is clean, the test coverage is strong (script engine execution, boundary directions, dedup-slot semantics), and the dedup-slot-released-before-execution design is correct and clearly justified. The gocron scheduler runs each job in its own goroutine (Do(task) via StartAsync), so executeWithRetry blocking up to 10 minutes is contained per task and does not starve other scheduled sweeps.
Findings
M1 — sweepInputLocktime silently swallows a CLTVCSVMultisig decode error
internal/infrastructure/tx-builder/covenantless/sweep.go (new function sweepInputLocktime)
if valid, decodeErr := epoch.Decode(tapscript); decodeErr == nil && valid {When decodeErr != nil (a genuine parse failure on a leaf that should be a hybrid closure), the error is discarded. The function then tries CSVMultisigClosure.Decode, which also fails, and returns "unsupported sweep tapscript, cannot build sweep transaction." The actual error from the hybrid decoder is lost entirely. An operator diagnosing a broken epoch-sweep leaf sees a generic "unsupported" message with no indication that the hybrid decoder ran at all.
Suggested fix: surface the error rather than ignoring it.
epoch := script.CLTVCSVMultisigClosure{}
valid, decodeErr := epoch.Decode(tapscript)
if decodeErr != nil {
return 0, 0, fmt.Errorf("decoding CLTVCSVMultisig leaf: %w", decodeErr)
}
if valid {
...
return seq, uint32(epoch.ExpiryDate), nil
}If a CSV-only leaf is genuinely intended to fall through, the caller controls that by not populating the hybrid closure fields, and the rebuild-and-compare guard inside CLTVCSVMultisigClosure.Decode returns (false, nil) for a CSV-only script. There is no case where a genuine parse error should be silently ignored here.
M2 — go-sdk type switches will miss *CLTVCSVMultisigClosure after a dependency bump
pkg/ark-lib/script/closure.go (new entry in DecodeClosure)
The go-sdk imports pkg/ark-lib at a pinned commit (db93f3d63dab). Several call sites in the go-sdk do type assertions or exhaustive type switches on the result of DecodeClosure or directly on closure slices:
go-sdk/swap/utils.go:622—if cltv, ok := closure.(*script.CLTVMultisigClosure)go-sdk/swap/utils.go:641—if _, ok := fc.(*script.CLTVMultisigClosure)go-sdk/contract/handlers/vhtlc/handler.go:447–451—case *script.CLTVMultisigClosure:/case *script.CSVMultisigClosure:
CLTVCSVMultisigClosure is intended only for sweep leaves and should never appear in a VTXO script, so these paths are safe today. The risk materialises when the go-sdk bumps its dependency and the hybrid type becomes available: any code path that scans a full tapscript tree (e.g., tree-signing verification) and then type-asserts without handling the new case will silently fall through. Coordinate with go-sdk owners before the dependency bump; at minimum document that CLTVCSVMultisigClosure is sweep-leaf-only in the type's godoc so that consumers of the library know they do not need to handle it in VTXO contexts.
L1 — classifyBroadcastError broad "non-final" substring match
internal/infrastructure/wallet/wallet_client.go
if strings.Contains(msg, "non-final") {
return ports.ErrNonFinalCLTV
}Any error from the wallet daemon whose message contains the substring "non-final" — regardless of context — would be classified as ErrNonFinalCLTV and trigger IsNonFinal, which keeps the retry loop spinning. If the daemon ever wraps an unrelated rejection with text containing "non-final" (e.g., from a gRPC interceptor, a rate-limit message, or a future Core mempool policy change), those errors would silently loop instead of surfacing. Low risk given the current wallet daemon implementation, but worth tightening to anchor against a specific Core rejection code if that becomes available.
T1 — Package-level retry vars are not parallel-safe
internal/core/application/sweeper_test.go
sweepRetryDelay and sweepRetryAttempts are package-level mutable variables modified inline by three tests. The save/restore pattern with t.Cleanup is correct for sequential tests, but the variables cannot be safely varied by concurrent test goroutines. No test currently calls t.Parallel(), so this is not a current bug. It is a trap for a future author who adds t.Parallel() to the suite. Consider accepting these as parameters via a functional option or a test-only setter on sweeper instead.
Positive notes
Expiry gap direction (internal/core/application/utils.go): checkSettlementExpiryGap rejects when expiresAt.Before(now.Add(gap)), matching the semantics of "a floor on remaining life." The boundary test (expiresAt == now.Add(gap) passes) is the correct inclusive interpretation. The old expiresAt.After(limit) inversion admitted near-expiry VTXOs and rejected healthy ones — this fix closes a real safety gap.
Retry security argument (internal/core/application/sweeper.go): The PR description's framing is accurate — a single broadcast failure leaving outputs unswept until operator restart is the window an attacker racing the sweep needs. The new bounded retry (10 × 1 min) materially closes that window without risking infinite loops.
Dedup slot release (scheduleTask): Releasing the dedup slot before execution (not after) is the correct choice. Holding it through execution and retries would permanently block re-scheduling that tree ID. The comment explains this clearly and TestScheduleTaskFreesDedupSlot pins it.
CSVMultisigClosure.Decode ordering: CSVMultisigClosure.Decode lacks the rebuild-and-compare guard that CLTVCSVMultisigClosure.Decode has, but the disambiguation test confirms the hybrid is not accepted by the CSV decoder. The ordering in DecodeClosure (hybrid first) is correct belt-and-braces.
AbsoluteLocktime 2038 handling: The intermediate int64 in CLTVCSVMultisigClosure.Decode avoids the int32 narrowing that CLTVMultisigClosure.Decode performs (which would misread timestamps in 2038–2106 as negative). AbsoluteLocktime is uint32, so the final storage correctly holds values up to ~year 2106.
BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot refactor safety: Two independent tests (TestBuildLegacySweepTapTreeRootMatchesHandRolled, TestBuildLegacySweepTapTreeRootMatchesAssembledTree) verify byte-identity against both inline forms replaced. This is the right guard for a change that must stay consistent forever.
Danger flag acknowledged: 1326 changed lines is above the recommended review threshold. The PR is logically coherent across all hunks, but the size increases the chance of interaction effects. A protocol reviewer with sweep-path familiarity should walk the full diff.

Three points from review. sweepInputLocktime discarded the error from the hybrid decoder and fell through to the legacy one, so a genuinely broken epoch leaf surfaced as 'unsupported sweep tapscript' with no indication the hybrid decoder had run at all. The fallthrough itself has to stay - a CSV leaf is under no obligation to be readable as a hybrid one, and refusing on that error would leave legacy batches unswept - so the error is carried into the failure message instead. Both directions are pinned: a broken hybrid leaf reports why, and a legacy leaf still sweeps. classifyBroadcastError matched 'non-final' as a bare substring, so a message merely containing it - 'non-finalized' - would be classified as a premature nLockTime and marked retryable, spending the sweeper's whole retry budget on an error that would never clear. Now matched as a whole reason. Only the trailing edge is checked; Core prefixes reasons in more than one way and requiring a leading boundary would reject 'bad-txns-non-final'. Spelled out in CLTVCSVMultisigClosure's godoc that it is sweep-leaf-only and so needs no case in a type switch over a vtxo script's closures - the question a library consumer will actually have when DecodeClosure gains a new type. Reported by arkana-ai-bot on #1170.

Thanks — all three findings were real. Fixed in M1 — swallowed decode error. Confirmed: One correction to the suggested fix, though. Returning early on So the fallthrough stays and the error is carried into the failure message instead. Both directions are pinned in L1 — M2 — go-sdk type switches. The godoc already said sweep-leaf-only; extended it to answer the question a consumer will actually have — that T1 — package-level retry vars. Correct, and already addressed on the stacked PR: Gate: full suite against real Postgres and Redis, matching the pre-change baseline (two Windows-only badger failures, unrelated); |

Follow-up pass — baseline b181e98 → head 93fd73d
Incremental diff: one blank line restored in internal/core/application/utils.go (rebase conflict artefact). No functional change. Prior findings: 1 fixed, 2 still open, 1 deferred to stacked PR.
Prior findings status
M2 — go-sdk type switches on CLTVCSVMultisigClosure — Fixed
pkg/ark-lib/script/closure_epoch.go godoc now reads:
"This closure is only ever used in the sweep leaf. It must never appear in a user's vtxo script, where ForfeitClosures/ExitClosures would not classify it."
That answers the question a consumer will have when bumping the dependency. Sufficient for the documented intent.
M1 — sweepInputLocktime silently discards epoch decode error — Still open
internal/infrastructure/tx-builder/covenantless/sweep.go
The code at this head still reads:
if valid, decodeErr := epoch.Decode(tapscript); decodeErr == nil && valid {decodeErr is discarded on fallthrough. The TestSweepInputLocktime test suite does not include the "7-byte locktime CLTV-shaped leaf reports reading it as an epoch leaf failed" case the author described fixing. The "unsupported sweep tapscript" terminal message still carries no trace of the epoch-decode failure.
The author's reply acknowledged the error and described the intended fix (carry decodeErr into the final error message rather than returning early, to preserve legacy-CSV fallthrough for malformed-but-not-hybrid leaves). That fix is in commits after this head (79e24fea, visible from CodeRabbit's review window between 93fd73d78c07 and 9acc388c). The current head does not contain it. No change from last pass.
L1 — classifyBroadcastError broad "non-final" substring — Still open
internal/infrastructure/wallet/wallet_client.go
if strings.Contains(msg, "non-final") {
return ports.ErrNonFinalCLTV
}Still a bare substring match. The author described matching "as a whole reason" with negative table-test entries for "non-finalized" and "non-finality". Neither the anchored match nor those test entries appear in wallet_client_test.go at this head. The fix is also in the post-head commits. No change from last pass.
Practical risk remains bounded: the BIP68 check runs first and the two Core reason strings are disjoint, but a future error whose message incidentally contains "non-final" would be silently reclassified as retryable and burn the full retry budget.
T1 — package-level retry vars not parallel-safe — No longer applicable here
Author confirms the policy moves onto the sweeper instance in the stacked PR (777a1ddd). Accepted as a deliberate deferral; no action required on this PR.
Incremental diff — no new findings
The only change between b181e986 and 93fd73d78c07 is a blank line at internal/core/application/utils.go:658 (restoring formatting dropped in a rebase merge). No logic affected, no review needed.
Summary
M1 and L1 fixes promised by the author are in commits beyond this head (79e24fea and its successors). This pass closes M2 as fixed and T1 as deferred. M1 and L1 remain open and will be the primary subject of the next pass once those commits land at head.

Arkana review — fix(sweeper): correct expiry handling and add epoch sweep primitives (sha 79e24fe)
What this does
Two independent improvements bundled together:
1. Sweeper retry on broadcast failure (most important)
Before this: a single failed broadcast left a batch unswept until process restart. That's an operator-reachable window.
After this: executeWithRetry re-attempts up to sweepRetryAttempts (10) times with sweepRetryDelay (1 minute) between attempts, for a ~10-minute retry window before logging "giving up" and waiting for the next restart.
Both sweepRetryDelay and sweepRetryAttempts are var (not const) so tests can override them cheaply. TestScheduleTaskRetriesFailedExecution validates the retry count; TestScheduleTaskStopsRetryingOnSuccess validates early exit.
The dedup slot is released before executeWithRetry so retries can re-register the task. That's correct — holding the slot would block the retry loop.
2. Non-final error generalisation
ports.ErrNonFinalBIP68 → ports.IsNonFinal(err) covers both BIP68 relative sequence and absolute nLockTime. This is correct for epoch batches where the sweep output may be gated by an absolute timestamp.
3. Settlement expiry gap extraction
checkSettlementExpiryGap is extracted to a standalone testable function. The logic change: the check now runs for swept vtxos too (they previously skipped). Wait — the diff says:
// A swept vtxo is exempt: settling one is how recovery works
if !vtxo.Swept {
if err := checkSettlementExpiryGap(...) ...Actually the opposite — swept vtxos are now exempt from the expiry gap check. The comment says that's intentional because settling a swept vtxo is how recovery works. That makes sense.
BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot usage
The startFinalization cleanup uses BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot instead of inline script assembly. Verify this helper produces the same tap hash as the previous inline code — if the root hash differs, the tree coordinator session's SigningContext.ScriptRoot diverges from what cosigners will verify against, breaking the signing round.
Minor
ctx = context.Background() fallback in executeWithRetry when s.ctx == nil is defensive, fine.
Looks ready pending the tap hash verification above and human sign-off.

Status: 7 new commits since baseline 93fd73d — all 4 prior findings resolved (M1 Fixed, M2 Fixed, L1 Fixed, T1 no longer applicable). No new findings that require changes; two minor observations noted below.
Prior findings — close-out
M1 — sweepInputLocktime silently discards epoch decode error — Fixed (commit 79e24fe)
internal/infrastructure/tx-builder/covenantless/sweep.go
epochErr is now captured and the terminal path reads:
return 0, 0, fmt.Errorf(
"unsupported sweep tapscript, cannot build sweep transaction "+
"(not a legacy leaf, and reading it as an epoch leaf failed: %w)",
epochErr,
)The legacy-CSV fallthrough is preserved exactly as described in the prior pass: a CSV leaf that trips the hybrid decoder's script-number checks still reaches CSVMultisigClosure.Decode and returns a sequence without error. Both directions are covered by TestSweepInputLocktime (file added in this diff).
M2 — go-sdk type switch on CLTVCSVMultisigClosure — Fixed (earlier commits, confirmed in prior pass)
pkg/ark-lib/script/closure_epoch.go godoc now explicitly states the type is sweep-leaf-only, that DecodeClosure can return it, and that code walking a full tapscript tree (not a VTXO script) is the only context that needs a case for it.
L1 — classifyBroadcastError broad "non-final" substring — Fixed (commit 79e24fe)
internal/infrastructure/wallet/wallet_client.go
namesReason(msg, reason) checks only the trailing character after the match: if msg[end] is a reason byte (-, _, lowercase letter, digit), the match is rejected and the search continues. Leading-edge check is intentionally omitted so "bad-txns-non-final" continues to fire. Logic verified:
"non-finalized channel state"→msg[9]='i', reason byte, continues; no further match; returnsfalse→nil✓"transaction is non-finality-locked"→msg[24]='i', reason byte, continues; no further match →false→nil✓"bad-txns-non-final"→end==len(msg)→true→ErrNonFinalCLTV✓"non-BIP68-final"→ToLowermakes"non-bip68-final", matched first bynamesReason(msg, "non-bip68-final")→ErrNonFinalBIP68✓
TestClassifyBroadcastErrorWordBoundary pins all of the above cases.

Incremental diff review (93fd73d → 79e24fe)
pkg/ark-lib/tree/sweep_root.go + tests
BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot and BuildEpochSweepTapTreeRoot correctly centralize tapscript root construction. Two dedicated tests pin byte-identity against both inline forms they replace (TestBuildLegacySweepTapTreeRootMatchesHandRolled, TestBuildLegacySweepTapTreeRootMatchesAssembledTree). This is the correct guard for a refactor that must remain stable forever: a shifted root hash makes every tree built against it unspendable by the operator.
The callers — startFinalization (service.go), BuildCommitmentTx and extractSweepLeaf (builder.go), ValidateVtxoTree (validation.go), OnTreeSigningStarted (default_handler.go) — all use the same function, so their roots remain consistent. In extractSweepLeaf the local AssembleTaprootScriptTree call is retained only to build the control block (needs the leaf for the merkle proof), not to derive the root; the comment calls this out.
pkg/ark-lib/txutils/psbt_fields.go + tests
BatchExpiryField / arkPsbtFieldCoderBatchExpiry: fixed 4-byte little-endian encoding is the right choice for a timestamp (not a script number); removes ambiguity in the round-trip. matchesArkPsbtKey uses exact key comparison, so collision with ArkFieldTreeExpiry is impossible regardless of the key name chosen. The non-collision test documents this explicitly (and the comment explains why the name was conservative even before exact matching landed — good provenance).
The "rejects a malformed value" test correctly bypasses SetArkPsbtField to inject a raw 2-byte value and confirm the length guard fires.
internal/infrastructure/tx-builder/covenantless/sweep.go — sweepTransaction with maxLockTime
maxLockTime accumulates the highest epoch expiry date across all inputs. Epoch inputs carry seq = BIP68(grace), which is always < wire.MaxTxInSequenceNum. Non-tapscript inputs default to wire.MaxTxInSequenceNum (sequence := wire.MaxTxInSequenceNum, line 90). For a transaction mixing tapscript epoch inputs with non-tapscript inputs: the nLockTime is still enforced at the mempool level because at least one input has a non-final sequence (the epoch input's BIP68 sequence). CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY only inspects the sequence of the input it is evaluating, not the whole transaction, so the non-tapscript input's wire.MaxTxInSequenceNum is irrelevant to CLTV satisfaction. No bug, but noting this for the protocol reviewer.
The comment "Callers group inputs by maturity class: mixing a future-dated epoch input into a batch of ready ones would stall them all" is correct: the sweeper would retry 10× on ErrNonFinalCLTV before giving up. The invariant is caller-enforced with no runtime assertion; acceptable given the sweep architecture, but worth documenting at the call site when the epoch sweep path is wired in.
internal/core/application/sweeper.go + test
Already-due tasks now call s.executeWithRetry(task) and return its error to the caller. TestScheduleTaskRetriesAlreadyDueTask verifies 1+3=4 calls and that the error propagates. immediateScheduler.ScheduleTaskOnce is a no-op (returns nil without scheduling), correctly isolating the inline execution path. Correct.
docs/version-compat.md
Documents that the server compares the full major.minor.patch triple, not major only. The decision table now correctly shows "Version >= server version → allowed" and the note that the guard is disabled when the server cannot parse its own build version (a dev build without -ldflags). This matches the description's statement that the doc was previously inaccurate relative to the implementation.
Summary
All four findings from the original review are resolved. The new primitives — epoch sweep closure, sweep root constructors, BatchExpiryField, sweepInputLocktime, maxLockTime propagation — are well-designed, correctly tested, and do not introduce new safety concerns. The PR is ready for a human protocol reviewer to walk the full diff before merge.

So the same image content scans clean on two other refs within hours. Trivy's vulnerability DB refreshes daily and the image pulls current Alpine packages at build time, so this is a build-timing artifact rather than a property of the diff. A re-run at 11:00Z reproduced it, so it is not transient either — the practical fix is a rebase onto current master before merge, which this PR wants anyway (it is based on Everything else here is green: For context on the stack: #1171 has since found and fixed seven epoch-only bugs, three of them via an e2e suite that now runs and passes end to end. Three of those independently made the feature non-functional. None of it changes this PR, which remains the behaviour-preserving half — but it is a fair argument for merging this one first and letting #1171 shrink to the epoch work alone. |
The flag is documented as "the min expiry gap in seconds required to settle a vtxo" - a floor on remaining life. The check rejected when expiresAt was *after* now+gap, so it turned away healthy vtxos and admitted exactly the near-expiry ones the setting exists to exclude. The sibling check checkUnrolledVtxoExpiry already uses the protective direction. Extract the comparison into checkSettlementExpiryGap so both directions are pinned by tests. Disabled by default (gap 0), so no deployed behaviour changes. (cherry picked from commit 820230b773fe90263af789cf261e3e2ee9befe67)
A sweep task that failed to execute was never re-attempted, so a single mempool conflict or transient node error left the batch outputs unswept until an operator restart - the window an attacker racing the sweep needs. Add a bounded retry with a delay around task execution. scheduledTasks stays released before execution: it is a dedup guard, and holding the id past execution would block every later schedule for that tree, including the retries themselves. (cherry picked from commit bcfc3211fad23b6079fdd14988a10f8728b6a403)
BroadcastTransaction mapped only "non-bip68-final" to a typed error, and the sweep retry loop matched only that error. Bitcoin Core rejects a premature nLockTime with "non-final", which does not contain that substring, so such a rejection returned a bare error and aborted the sweep instead of waiting. That path is unreachable today because no batch output carries an absolute locktime, but it is a prerequisite for ones that will. Add ErrNonFinalCLTV, extract classifyBroadcastError, and widen the retry predicate to ports.IsNonFinal covering both timelock kinds. (cherry picked from commit 2a8568779274e004696ffcd21bd346f9abad4835)
Adds CLTVCSVMultisigClosure: <E> CLTV DROP <seq> CSV DROP <pk> CHECKSIG. Requiring both an absolute date and a relative delay since the spent output appeared means an untouched batch node matures at exactly E, while a node created by a mid-flight unroll at u matures at max(E, u+grace) - so an exiting user earns the grace period per tree level with one tapscript root for the whole tree, rather than a different script at each level. Verified against the script engine under StandardVerifyFlags: the spend needs tx version 2, nLockTime >= E, and a non-final BIP68 sequence; all four negative cases are pinned. Decode keeps the locktime as int64 rather than narrowing through int32 as CLTVMultisigClosure does, which breaks past 2038. Nothing emits this closure yet. (cherry picked from commit 6b30f8541a25fab4d7bc5cd7ff9308de96b23ed0)
Adds BatchExpiryField, carrying an absolute expiry date alongside the existing
relative one. Presence of the field marks a tree as an epoch batch and absence
means the legacy relative-CSV scheme, which is what lets the sweeper handle
both without any database state.
The wire key is "epochdate", not "batchexpiry": containsArkPsbtKey matches
with bytes.Contains, so any name containing "expiry" is also matched by
VtxoTreeExpiryField, which would then BIP68-decode an absolute timestamp into
a bogus relative locktime. Verified by temporarily using the colliding name -
the tree-expiry decoder returned {Type:1 Value:1788134400}. Both collision
directions are now pinned by tests.
(cherry picked from commit 5b7013ce585587d5fd09225be401c5a1e780bddc)
The sweep tapscript root was rebuilt by hand in five places across three modules - two spellings of the same thing, since some sites used NewBaseTapLeaf().TapHash() and others AssembleTaprootScriptTree().RootNode. Five independent copies of a consensus-critical script is how a tree gets built, signed, and turns out to be unspendable. Collapse them onto BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot, and add BuildEpochSweepTapTreeRoot alongside it for the hybrid closure. Pure refactor: a test pins the constructor to byte-identical output against both inline forms, and the full suite is unchanged against baseline (same 15 green, same 6 environmental failures). (cherry picked from commit 2dad0fac2a7eb2b92f0d6b2ede7b056ded7c79ba)
sweepTransaction decoded every tapscript input as a CSVMultisigClosure and errored otherwise, and never set nLockTime. Extract sweepInputLocktime, which handles both leaf kinds, and carry the highest expiry date among the inputs into the transaction's nLockTime. Legacy sweeps are unchanged: with only CSV leaves maxLockTime stays 0, which is exactly what psbt.New received before. One transaction carries one nLockTime, so callers must keep maturity classes in separate transactions - a future-dated epoch input mixed into a batch of ready ones would stall them all. Noted in the code. (cherry picked from commit 28bf4bebe3e259cdaf17808b3120bd0a5c2c3fd5)
The doc claimed "Only the major version component is compared. Minor and patch versions are ignored." isBehind compares major, then minor, then patch, and the interceptor tests pin exactly that: client_below_min_minor_rejected, client_below_min_patch_rejected, client_higher_minor_passes_despite_lower_patch. Also documents what the decision table omitted: build_version_header_required turns a missing or unparseable header into a rejection, the guard covers only ArkService, and an unparseable server version disables it entirely. (cherry picked from commit 66785f24c02ee78b05f3e47d5a622fa9f98a45f6)
gofmt only; caught by CI lint on #1170.
scheduleTask runs a task inline when its time has already passed, and that path called execute() once with no retry - so the bounded retry added earlier only covered tasks handed to the scheduler. That is backwards: the inline path is the one a restart takes for every batch that expired while the service was down, and nothing re-arms those until the next restart. Route both paths through executeWithRetry, which now returns the final error so an inline caller still learns it failed. Caught in review on #1170.
Three points from review. sweepInputLocktime discarded the error from the hybrid decoder and fell through to the legacy one, so a genuinely broken epoch leaf surfaced as 'unsupported sweep tapscript' with no indication the hybrid decoder had run at all. The fallthrough itself has to stay - a CSV leaf is under no obligation to be readable as a hybrid one, and refusing on that error would leave legacy batches unswept - so the error is carried into the failure message instead. Both directions are pinned: a broken hybrid leaf reports why, and a legacy leaf still sweeps. classifyBroadcastError matched 'non-final' as a bare substring, so a message merely containing it - 'non-finalized' - would be classified as a premature nLockTime and marked retryable, spending the sweeper's whole retry budget on an error that would never clear. Now matched as a whole reason. Only the trailing edge is checked; Core prefixes reasons in more than one way and requiring a leading boundary would reject 'bad-txns-non-final'. Spelled out in CLTVCSVMultisigClosure's godoc that it is sweep-leaf-only and so needs no case in a type switch over a vtxo script's closures - the question a library consumer will actually have when DecodeClosure gains a new type. Reported by arkana-ai-bot on #1170.

PROTOCOL-CRITICAL: human review required.
Status: 12 commits since 79e24fe — all 4 prior findings resolved; 0 findings require changes. CI trivy fix is correct.
Prior findings — close-out
M1 — epoch decode error silently discarded — Fixed (commit f11fd0c)
internal/infrastructure/tx-builder/covenantless/sweep.go
epochErr is captured and threaded to the terminal path:
return 0, 0, fmt.Errorf(
"unsupported sweep tapscript, cannot build sweep transaction " +
"(not a legacy leaf, and reading it as an epoch leaf failed: %w)",
epochErr,
)The legacy CSV fallthrough is preserved: a CSV leaf that errors the hybrid decoder's MakeScriptNum check still reaches CSVMultisigClosure.Decode and returns a sequence without error. Both directions are pinned in TestSweepInputLocktime (the 7-byte-locktime and legacy-leaf subtests).
M2 — go-sdk type switch on CLTVCSVMultisigClosure — Fixed (commit 82ae2a6)
pkg/ark-lib/script/closure_epoch.go
Godoc explicitly states: "This closure is only ever used in the sweep leaf. It must never appear in a user's vtxo script" and "Consumers of this library therefore do not need to handle it in any type switch over a vtxo script's closures." The disambiguation test also confirms the narrower closures do not accept the hybrid script, and vice versa.
L1 — classifyBroadcastError broad "non-final" substring — Fixed (commit f11fd0c)
internal/infrastructure/wallet/wallet_client.go:413–455
namesReason(msg, reason) walks msg for reason and accepts a match only when msg[end] is not a reason byte (-, _, lowercase letter, digit). Leading-edge intentionally unchecked (preserves "bad-txns-non-final"). Verified:
"non-finalized channel state"→msg[9]='i', reason byte → continues; no further match →false→nil✓"non-final"at end of string →end==len(msg)→true→ErrNonFinalCLTV✓"non-BIP68-final"(afterToLower) matched first by the narrower search →ErrNonFinalBIP68✓
TestClassifyBroadcastErrorWordBoundary pins all cases.
T1 — package-level retry vars not parallel-safe — No longer applicable
Deferred to stacked PR per prior pass. Both sweepRetryDelay and sweepRetryAttempts remain var (correct for test overrides via t.Cleanup); tests are currently sequential, so no race in practice.
Incremental diff review (79e24fe → f11fd0c)
Settlement expiry gap — direction now correct
internal/core/application/utils.go, service.go
checkSettlementExpiryGap rejects when expiresAt.Before(now.Add(gap)) (vtxo expires within gap), accepts otherwise. This is the correct direction: a floor on remaining life. The prior inline check used .After which admitted near-expiry vtxos and rejected healthy ones. The gap <= 0 short-circuit preserves the disabled-by-default behaviour. Swept vtxos remain exempt (if !vtxo.Swept). Tests cover all four quadrants: disabled, boundary (exact gap = accepted), valid, invalid.
executeWithRetry: dedup-before-retry is correct
internal/core/application/sweeper.go
removeTask(task.id) is called before executeWithRetry in the scheduled callback path. This is intentional: scheduledTasks is a dedup guard, and holding the slot past execution blocks every subsequent schedule for that tree — including retries. TestScheduleTaskFreesDedupSlot validates that a second schedule for the same id is accepted after the first has run. The already-due path (restart branch) also uses executeWithRetry and its error reaches the caller (TestScheduleTaskRetriesAlreadyDueTask).
Context cancellation during a retry sleep is handled correctly by the select on ctx.Done().
IsNonFinal replaces errors.Is(ErrNonFinalBIP68) in the inner sweep loop
internal/core/application/sweeper.go:707
The inner broadcast-retry loop (5 s sleep, no bound) now uses ports.IsNonFinal(err) instead of errors.Is(err, ports.ErrNonFinalBIP68). This is correct for epoch batches where both BIP68 sequence and absolute nLockTime can reject. The loop is bounded in practice: it is scheduled at the batch expiry time, so the timelock is satisfied or nearly so when the task fires. The comment is updated to match.
sweepInputLocktime: uint32 cast of ExpiryDate is safe
pkg/ark-lib/script/closure_epoch.go:Decode validates locktime <= math.MaxUint32 before setting d.ExpiryDate. The uint32(epoch.ExpiryDate) cast in sweepInputLocktime is therefore safe. The legacy path correctly returns lockTime = 0, keeping nLockTime = 0 for CSV-only transactions (unchanged from prior behaviour). Mixed batches: the maxLockTime accumulation is correct — the non-tapscript inputs carry wire.MaxTxInSequenceNum (final), but that only matters for nLockTime enforcement when all inputs are final; the epoch input's BIP68 sequence is non-final, satisfying CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY's requirement on its own.
BatchExpiryField encoding
pkg/ark-lib/txutils/psbt_fields.go
Fixed 4-byte LE is the right choice for a timestamp; removes the ambiguity of minimal/variable-length encoding. Key "epochdate" does not share a prefix with "expiry", and matchesArkPsbtKey uses exact comparison, so collision with VtxoTreeExpiryField is impossible. The malformed-value test correctly bypasses SetArkPsbtField to inject a 2-byte value and confirms the length guard.
BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot: refactor is safe
pkg/ark-lib/tree/sweep_root.go
TestBuildLegacySweepTapTreeRootMatchesHandRolled and TestBuildLegacySweepTapTreeRootMatchesAssembledTree pin byte-identity against both prior inline forms. All five call sites (service.go, builder.go, validation.go, default_handler.go — four changed, one still needs AssembleTaprootScriptTree to build the control block, which is correct) now use the shared constructor. Root stability is fully guarded.
CI / Dockerfile fix
.github/workflows/trivy.yaml, Dockerfile, arkdwallet.Dockerfile
no-cache-filters: runtime forces a fresh Alpine layer for the runtime stage at scan time, so the scanner sees the same packages the release build ships. The AS runtime stage name is required for the filter to target the correct layer. The builder stage stays cached (that is where the build time is). This is the correct fix for the CVE scan racing a stale cached image.
Summary
All four prior findings are resolved. The incremental diff introduces no new findings requiring changes. The PR is behaviour-preserving for legacy batches and correctly lays the primitives needed for epoch-boundary sweeps. Ready for human protocol sign-off before merge.

This PR fixes two separate sweeper problems and introduces retry durability:
1. Retry on sweep failure ( — ):
Before this, a single failed broadcast (mempool conflict, transient node error) left batch outputs unswept until the next operator restart. Now failed sweeps are retried up to 10 times with a 1-minute gap. The retry limit is a reasonable trade-off; the comment about restart-recovery is accurate. Good.
**2. Past-expiry tasks now use ** (inline branch in ):
This is the path triggered at restart for batches that expired while the process was down. Correctly now uses instead of raw .
3. Dedup slot released before retry loop: The comment correctly explains why — holding the ID past execution would block later re-registrations, including retries. Correct.
**4. replaces **: Broadens the wait-and-retry loop in to also catch absolute nLockTime rejections. The comment notes both BIP68 sequence and nLockTime cases can apply. Correct.
5. Build version comparison tightened ( — ): Moves the vtxo expiry check into and skips it for swept vtxos. Swept vtxos are settlement recovery; blocking them on expiry would be wrong. Correct.
6. Sweep tap-tree construction (): Uses instead of hand-assembling the tree. Confirms consistency with the sweep path.
Test coverage: and related tests directly pin the retry behaviour. Good.
Looks ready to merge.

Two sweeper bugs fixed plus retry durability added:
1. Retry on sweep failure (sweeper.go — executeWithRetry): Before this, a single failed broadcast left batch outputs unswept until the next operator restart. Now failed sweeps are retried up to 10 times with a 1-minute gap. Reasonable limit; the comment about restart-recovery is accurate.
2. Past-expiry tasks now use executeWithRetry (inline branch in scheduleTask): This is the path triggered at restart for batches that expired while the process was down. Correctly now retries instead of a single fire-and-forget.
3. Dedup slot released before retry loop: Holding the ID past execution would block later re-registrations, including retries. Correctly ordered.
4. IsNonFinal replaces ErrNonFinalBIP68: Broadens the wait-and-retry loop in createBatchSweepTask to also catch absolute nLockTime rejections, not just BIP68 sequence. Correct.
5. Swept-vtxo exemption in RegisterIntent: checkSettlementExpiryGap is now skipped for swept vtxos. Swept vtxos are recovery settlements; blocking them on expiry would be wrong.
6. Sweep tap-tree: Uses BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot instead of hand-assembling the tree — consistent with the sweep path.
Test coverage: TestScheduleTaskRetriesFailedExecution and related sweeper tests directly pin the retry behaviour.

fix(sweeper): correct expiry handling and add epoch sweep primitives
Protocol-critical — changes sweep retry, settlement gap check, and SubmitOffchainTx claim atomicity. Human sign-off required.
Key changes
Sweeper retry
executeWithRetryadds bounded retries (10 attempts, 1min delay) for failed broadcast- Fixes the restart path: a task that expired while the service was down was previously run inline with
task.execute()— no retry, so one mempool conflict left the batch unswept until the next restart s.removeTask(task.id)called beforeexecuteWithRetry— correct, releases the dedup slot so retries can re-register the task if neededctxis respected in the retry loop viaselect
Version check granularity
docs/version-compat.mdnow documents full semver comparison (major.minor.patch) rather than major-only- This is a behavior change: clients between minor versions will now be rejected where they weren't before. Worth confirming the version strings in the wild are in sync.
SubmitOffchainTx claim atomicity
offchainTxMuper-process mutex removed; claim is now atomic inside the store (Redis Lua / in-memory lock)- New return value from
cache.OffchainTxs().Add():ClaimFresh / ClaimConflict / ClaimAlreadyOwned ClaimAlreadyOwnedpath: duplicate submit returns the accepted result withchanges = nil— correct, no double Accepted event
DeleteIntents
- Now calls
releaseClaimsOfIntentsbefore deletion — fixes the bug where deleted intent claims kept vtxos locked
Tests
TestScheduleTaskRetriesFailedExecution,TestScheduleTaskStopsRetryingOnSuccess,TestScheduleTaskFreesDedupSlot,TestScheduleTaskRetriesAlreadyDueTask— all look correct and cover the relevant edge cases- The dedup-slot test properly checks that the slot is released and re-registration succeeds
Questions
sweepRetryAttempts = 10withsweepRetryDelay = time.Minutemeans a sweep can take 10 minutes before giving up. Is this aligned with the expected timelock margin? For a batch close to its sweep window, 10 minutes of retrying could matter.- The
IsNonFinalcheck replaceserrors.Is(err, ports.ErrNonFinalBIP68)to cover both sequence and nLockTime errors — is the new check distinguishing between "not final yet" (should keep waiting) vs "will never be final" (configuration error)?
Verdict: Looks ready pending answers above. Good test coverage for the retry logic.

Review — fix(sweeper): correct expiry handling and add epoch sweep primitives (sha f11fd0c)
PROTOCOL-CRITICAL — flag for human sign-off before merge.
Overall this is a solid improvement — the retry logic and the dedup-slot release fix are both real correctness improvements. A few points worth discussing before merge:
Sweeper retry logic (sweeper.go):
executeWithRetry: bounded at 10 retries × 1-minute delay. The security motivation in the comment is correct — a single failed broadcast previously left batch outputs unswept until an operator restart, which is a material window.- Dedup slot (
scheduledTasks) is released beforeexecuteWithRetryruns. This means a concurrentscheduleTaskcall for the same tree could register a second execution while retries are in flight. Since sweep broadcast is idempotent (mempool dedup) this is acceptable, but worth confirming that double-broadcasting doesn't produce double-spend conflicts in the funding context. - The restart path (AfterNow=false) now also retries. The test
TestScheduleTaskRetriesAlreadyDueTaskpins this correctly. - Tests are thorough: retry-on-fail, stop-on-success, dedup-slot-release, already-due-task. Good coverage.
service.go sweep tap tree:
BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRootreplaces the inlineCSVMultisigClosure + AssembleTaprootScriptTree. Confirm that this helper produces bit-identical output to the old inline path — the resultingroothash must match what was committed in the VTXO tree or the coordinator session will fail.
Version compatibility change (docs/version-compat.md + service.go):
- The comparison tightens from major-only to full semver (major.minor.patch). A client at
2.3.0connecting to a server at2.3.1will now be rejected withBUILD_VERSION_TOO_OLDwhere it previously passed. This is a breaking change for deployed clients. Please confirm the rollout plan — is there a coordinated SDK/client release before this goes to production? - The new
build_version_header_requiredflag (mentioned in the docs) is not in this diff. Is it already deployed or coming in a follow-up?
IsNonFinal / ports.IsNonFinal: widening the retry condition from BIP68-only to both nLockTime and relative sequence is correct for the Arkade expiry model.
Verdict: looks good with the caveats above; human sign-off needed on tap-tree root identity and version-compat rollout.

Review — fix(sweeper): correct expiry handling and add the epoch sweep primitives
PROTOCOL-CRITICAL (sweep, funds safety) — human sign-off required.
Key changes
1. Sweep retry on failure (executeWithRetry)
Before this, a single failed task.execute() logged the error and dropped the task. An operator restart was the only recovery path — which is a window an attacker racing the sweep can exploit.
executeWithRetry adds up to 10 retries at 1-minute intervals, honouring ctx.Done() for clean shutdown. The dedup slot (scheduledTasks) is released before execution so the same task id can be rescheduled by the retry loop itself. Both the scheduled path (timer callback) and the immediate path (task due in the past on startup) now use executeWithRetry.
The logic is sound. The ctx.Done() guard ensures in-process retries stop on shutdown without a goroutine leak. After 10 failures the task is abandoned with a log message noting it will be rebuilt on restart — acceptable since the repository survives the process.
2. IsNonFinal instead of errors.Is(err, ErrNonFinalBIP68)
The retry loop inside createBatchSweepTask previously only recognised BIP68 relative-sequence timelocks as "keep waiting". Absolute nLockTime errors are now also caught via ports.IsNonFinal(err). Without this, a batch locked by an absolute timelock would fall through and be reported as a hard failure rather than a timelock wait.
3. BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot in startFinalization
The manually-assembled sweep tap-tree in startFinalization is replaced by tree.BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot. Both must produce the exact same taproot commitment for the batch output to be spendable. Using the library helper eliminates a divergence risk if the legacy tap-tree construction ever changes.
4. checkSettlementExpiryGap extracted
The inline expiry gap check is extracted to a named function. Correctness is unchanged; the settlementMinExpiryGap > 0 guard is removed because the helper itself handles a zero gap (always passes). Swept vtxos remain exempt with the same comment added for clarity.
Concerns
- The sweepRetryDelay (1 minute) and sweepRetryAttempts (10) are package-level vars mutated by tests via direct assignment. This works for now but is fragile if tests run in parallel; consider passing them as struct fields instead.
- After
removeTask(task.id), ifexecuteWithRetryexhausts all attempts, the task disappears fromscheduledTasks. The comment says the next restart rebuilds from the repository — please confirm the repository query used at startup covers tasks whose scheduled time is in the past (already expired while the process was down).
Test coverage
TestScheduleTaskRetriesFailedExecution and the success-path variant are exactly the right tests. They use a controllableScheduler that fires the callback on demand — good pattern.
Verdict
The retry logic is a meaningful safety improvement; silent drop on sweep failure was a real gap. Logic looks correct. Flagging for human review per protocol-critical policy.

Review: sweeper expiry and retry (sha f11fd0c)
What the PR does
Three independent improvements:
1. Retry on failed sweep (security-critical)
Previously a single failed broadcast silently dropped the sweep until the next operator restart. executeWithRetry adds up to 10 retries at 1-minute intervals. The dedup slot (scheduledTasks) is released before execution so that retries can re-register the same task. This is the right design — holding the slot would deadlock the retry.
The past-expiry path (batch expired while the server was down) also now uses executeWithRetry. This is the branch most likely to need retries since it runs at startup.
2. Non-final error broadening (IsNonFinal)
errors.Is(err, ports.ErrNonFinalBIP68) is replaced with ports.IsNonFinal(err). This matters for epoch batches, which may be gated by absolute nLockTime rather than relative BIP68 sequences. Sweeping too early on an epoch batch would silently fail under the old check.
3. BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot
Inline script construction in startFinalization is replaced with the shared helper from the watchtower package. This keeps the sweep tap-tree logic in one place and reduces the risk of the inline version drifting from the canonical one.
Tests
TestScheduleTaskRetriesFailedExecution: confirms failed sweeps are retried, not dropped. ✓
TestScheduleTaskStopsRetryingOnSuccess: confirms the loop stops on first success. ✓
TestScheduleTaskFreesDedupSlot: confirms the dedup slot is released so re-scheduling works. ✓
Minor
The ctx nil-guard in executeWithRetry handles test paths that don't set s.ctx. Fine, but worth a comment there explaining why s.ctx can be nil.

Arkana review
Three distinct fixes that improve sweep reliability.
1. executeWithRetry
Sweeps that fail (mempool conflict, transient node error) now retry up to 10 times with a 1-minute delay, logging each attempt. Previously a single failure left batch outputs unswept until the next process restart — that window is an opportunity for an operator who controls the mempool or can delay the node to race the sweep. Correct fix.
The dedup slot (removeTask) is released before execution, which is important: without this, retries could never re-register the same task ID. Good.
2. Past-task branch now uses executeWithRetry
The inline execution path (a batch that expired while the service was down, scheduled in the past) previously called task.execute() directly. Now it goes through the same retry loop. This is the branch most likely to need retries since the sweep was delayed by a restart.
3. Broader non-final error check
errors.Is(err, ports.ErrNonFinalBIP68) → ports.IsNonFinal(err) catches both relative-sequence (BIP68) and absolute-locktime non-final conditions. This is needed for the epoch-expiry work (#1171) which introduces absolute locktimes.
Version compatibility note on docs
The version-compat.md update changes the comparison semantics from major-only to full semver (major.minor.patch). This is potentially breaking for deployed clients — verify this is intentional and that any deployed clients are already at or above the minimum version before shipping.
Questions
- After 10 failed attempts, the sweep is logged and abandoned. Is there an alert/metric on sweep failures? Operators need to know to restart the service if this happens.
s.ctxcan be nil (fallback to Background). Is this a real production path or only tests?
Looks good overall. Ready to merge pending the questions above.

Arkana review — 2026-09-02
This PR bundles two distinct concerns: a build-version compatibility policy change and sweeper correctness fixes. Both are significant.
1. Build-version check: major-only → full semver
This is a breaking change in the version enforcement policy. Under the old rule a client at v2.3.0 would be accepted by a server at v2.3.1. Under the new rule it is rejected. Any deployed operator upgrading to a server built with this change will kick every client that has not also been upgraded to exactly the same version or newer. The doc update is clear about the new semantics, but the operational impact needs a migration note in release documentation.
Question: is build_version_header_required a new config knob added here? If so, what is the default, and how does it interact with the existing gateway?
2. executeWithRetry in the sweeper
This is a critical correctness fix. Previously a single failed broadcast (e.g. mempool conflict, transient node error) left the batch output unswept until the next operator restart. The window between a failed sweep and restart is the window an adversary has to race. Retry loop with 10 attempts at 1-minute intervals is a reasonable policy.
The dedup slot is now released before execution, not after — important for the retry case: if the slot were held through a failed execute() the task could not be re-registered on the next restart, leaving the batch permanently unswept.
The past-due path (task timestamp already in the past at restart) now also goes through executeWithRetry instead of running task.execute() bare. This is the case most likely to encounter a non-final error (batch expired while the process was down), so this is the right change.
3. BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot
The refactor to a shared builder function is a straightforward cleanup. Confirm it produces the same taproot root as the inline construction it replaces — this touches VTXO tree signing and any mismatch would prevent sweep.
Overall: sweeper fixes look correct and are a meaningful security improvement. The version policy change needs careful release documentation. Recommend splitting these two concerns into separate PRs if possible.

Arkana automated review — #1170
First review of this PR (SHA f11fd0c416).
From the diff I can see:
- Sweeper retry logic (
executeWithRetry): 10 attempts at 1-minute intervals, respectingctx.Done(). Same pattern as #1162 — if this and #1162 are both open, confirm they're not duplicating the retry logic in different branches or that one is stacked on the other. scheduleTaskpast-branch now callsexecuteWithRetryinstead oftask.execute()directly — correct fix for the restart-after-downtime case.- Dedup slot released before executing — prevents the task ID from being permanently blocked if the sweep takes multiple attempts.
checkSettlementExpiryGapextracted as standalone function.- Version check changes in the doc and service.
Key question: This PR and #1162 appear to touch many of the same areas (sweeper retry, version check, settlement expiry gap). Are they a stacked series or parallel alternatives? Please clarify the dependency/ordering. If stacked, this one should rebase once #1162 merges.
On its own merits: The sweeper retry fix is important (closes the unswept-batch window on broadcast failures). Logic is sound. Tests needed — I don't see new tests for the retry path in the portion of the diff I reviewed. Recommend adding a test that exercises executeWithRetry giving up after sweepRetryAttempts and one that succeeds on a later attempt.
Needs human review before merge — stacking question must be resolved.

Review: looks ready to merge — sweeper correctness fixes (retry on broadcast failure, past-expiry inline execution, generalized timelock check)
Three distinct fixes, all correct:
1. Retry on broadcast failure (executeWithRetry)
Previously a single failed broadcast (mempool conflict, node transient error) left the batch outputs permanently unswept until the next restart. The fix adds an exponential-free 1-minute × 10 retry loop, which is appropriate for these failure modes. The dedup slot is released before execution so the retry can re-arm itself without hitting the "already registered" guard — that ordering is subtle but correct.
2. Past-expiry inline execution
scheduleTask now calls executeWithRetry (not bare task.execute()) for the "task is in the past, run immediately" branch. This is the branch taken after a restart for batches that expired while the service was down — exactly the case most likely to fail and most in need of retrying.
3. Generalized timelock check
ports.IsNonFinal replaces errors.Is(err, ports.ErrNonFinalBIP68). Comment says both relative-sequence (BIP68) and absolute-nLockTime maturity now block; this is correct given the tree-finality validation added in #1176 which enforces Sequence=MaxTxInSequenceNum on tree nodes but doesn't speak to the batch output itself.
Tests: controllableScheduler is a clean approach — it captures the closure and lets the test fire it on demand, covering the scheduler-callback path that mockScheduler couldn't reach.
Minor question for reviewers: Is sweepRetryDelay = time.Minute and sweepRetryAttempts = 10 (10 minutes total) a deliberate choice, or should it be configurable? For a deployed chain-watching service the window matters for security, so worth a comment if intentional.

fix(sweeper): correct expiry handling and add the epoch sweep primitives
Assessment: contains a genuine bug fix and preparatory refactoring for epoch expiry; looks correct, but sweeper changes warrant human sign-off.
What changed
-
Past-expiry task retry fix:
scheduleTaskpreviously calledtask.execute()directly for tasks in the past (expired while service was down). It now callss.executeWithRetry(task), matching the retry policy of the scheduled path. The comment explains this is the most important path to retry: a restart for a batch expired during downtime has no re-arm mechanism until the next restart. -
BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRootadoption:startFinalizationnow calls the sharedtree.BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot(forfeitPubkey, vtxoTreeExpiry)instead of constructing the sweep closure, script, leaf, and tap tree inline. This is a correctness-positive change — centralized tree construction is harder to get wrong independently. -
checkSettlementExpiryGaprefactor: the settlement expiry check is extracted to a helper and the "swept vtxo is exempt" logic is clarified with a comment. A swept vtxo is exempt because settling it is how recovery works and the operator already holds the funds onchain. -
Version comparison tightened (docs + impl): the build version check now compares
major.minor.patchinstead of justmajor. A client at2.3.0is now rejected by a server at2.3.1. This is a breaking change for any clients that were relying on minor/patch leniency — confirm this is intentional and coordinated with SDK releases.
Questions for the author
- The
executeWithRetrypath for past-expiry tasks — what does the retry policy look like? How many retries, and with what backoff? A sweeper that retries too aggressively after a restart could conflict with an ongoing sweep. - The version comparison change from major-only to full semver is a potentially breaking behaviour change for clients. Is there a coordinated SDK release bumping clients to the minimum required version, or is this change gated behind
build_version_header_required?

Arkana automated review — sha f11fd0c416 — PROTOCOL CRITICAL
This PR fixes several related sweeper correctness issues. Please flag for human review before merge.
Retry on sweep failure (executeWithRetry): the old code ran a sweep task once and logged errors, silently dropping the sweep until the next operator restart. The new executeWithRetry wraps every task execution with up to 10 retries at 1-minute intervals, both for the past-due inline path and the scheduled-callback path. This closes the window where a transient mempool rejection (conflict, full mempool, node error) would leave batch outputs unswept until restart — which is exactly the window an attacker racing the sweep has to work with.
Past-due sweep path: previously scheduleTask called task.execute() directly for already-expired batches. It now calls executeWithRetry, aligning the retry policy with the scheduled path. This is particularly important for restart recovery (the most common trigger for the past-due path).
Dedup slot release before retry: removeTask is called before executeWithRetry in the scheduled callback. This is correct — the dedup guard must be released before retrying, otherwise the first failure would block all subsequent schedules of the same tree (including retries from the next restart).
Non-final error broadening: the inner loop that waits for a timelock to elapse now uses ports.IsNonFinal(err) instead of errors.Is(err, ports.ErrNonFinalBIP68), which catches both relative (BIP68/sequence) and absolute (nLockTime) timelocks. The comment correctly identifies both cases as relevant for batch outputs.
BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot refactoring: moving the sweep tap tree construction into a shared helper reduces duplication. The test suite should confirm the refactoring is consistent with the rest of the signing flow — please verify this is covered by existing e2e tests.
Tests: TestScheduleTaskRetriesFailedExecution and TestScheduleTaskStopsRetryingOnSuccess use the new controllableScheduler to fire tasks deterministically. The global retry-delay override (sweepRetryDelay = time.Millisecond) keeps the tests fast while exercising the real loop. The 1+3 attempts assertion (one initial + three retries) is correct for sweepRetryAttempts = 3.
Looks ready to merge. Flagging for human review given the sweeper touches fund recovery. ⚑

Arkana review — sha f11fd0c
What this does:
- Extracts sweep tap tree construction into BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot (removes inline duplication in startFinalization).
- Adds executeWithRetry to the sweeper: 10 attempts, 1-minute delay, bounded. Previously a single failed broadcast left the batch unswept until an operator restart.
- Past-due tasks (batches that expired while the service was down) now also go through executeWithRetry instead of running bare.
- Extends the non-final loop condition from just ErrNonFinalBIP68 (relative sequence) to ports.IsNonFinal which covers both BIP68 and absolute nLockTime.
- checkSettlementExpiryGap extracted as a helper; swept vtxos are now exempt from the expiry gap check (settling a swept vtxo is recovery, operator already holds funds onchain).
Correctness observations:
- The retry loop releases the dedup slot (removeTask) before running — important, because holding the task ID would block our own retries. Comment explains this. Correct.
- sweepRetryDelay and sweepRetryAttempts are package-level vars (not consts) so tests can override them. This is a common Go testing pattern.
- The IsNonFinal extension is correct: a batch output could be gated by an absolute locktime from a parent transaction.
- Swept vtxo exemption from the expiry gap check: makes sense. The gap check is meant to prevent accepting vtxos so close to expiry that the sweep would miss; an already-swept vtxo is past that concern.
Question: executeWithRetry uses s.ctx if non-nil, else context.Background(). When would s.ctx be nil in production? If never, the nil check is defensive dead code — not harmful, but worth clarifying.
Tests: TestScheduleTaskRetriesFailedExecution and TestScheduleTaskStopsRetryingOnSuccess cover the retry path. Good.
Ready to merge after human review.

Three defect fixes in the expiry/sweep path, plus the primitives a later PR needs
to make batches expire on shared epoch boundaries. No observable behaviour
change: arkd still produces exactly the batches it does today, and every item
here is worth having on its own terms.
Fixes
SettlementMinExpiryGapwas inverted. The flag reads "the min expiry gap inseconds required to settle a vtxo" (
cmd/arkd/flags.go) — a floor on remaininglife. The check rejected when
expiresAtwas afternow+gap, so it turnedaway healthy vtxos and admitted exactly the near-expiry ones the setting exists
to exclude. The sibling
checkUnrolledVtxoExpiryalready uses the protectivedirection. Disabled by default, so no deployment changes behaviour.
A failed sweep was never retried. One mempool conflict or transient node
error left the batch outputs unswept until an operator restart — the window an
attacker racing the sweep needs. Now retried with a bounded backoff, on both
paths:
scheduleTaskalso runs a task inline when its time has already passed,and that is the branch a restart takes for every batch that expired while the
service was down, so it is the one that most needs retrying.
scheduledTasksisreleased before execution, deliberately: it is a dedup guard, and holding the id
would block every later schedule for that tree, including the retries.
A premature
nLockTimewas treated as fatal.ErrNonFinalBIP68comes from asubstring match on
non-bip68-final; Core rejects a prematurenLockTimewithnon-final, which does not contain it. AddedErrNonFinalCLTVandports.IsNonFinalcovering both, matched as whole rejection reasons rather thanbare substrings — a misclassification marks the failure retryable, so it would
spend the sweeper's entire retry budget on an error that will never clear.
Unreachable today — no batch output carries an absolute locktime — but a
prerequisite for ones that will.
Primitives
CLTVCSVMultisigClosure—<E> CLTV DROP <seq> CSV DROP <pk> CHECKSIG.Verified against the script engine under
StandardVerifyFlags: the spendrequires tx version 2,
nLockTime >= E, and a non-final BIP68 sequence, withall four negative cases pinned.
Decodekeeps the locktime asint64ratherthan narrowing through
int32asCLTVMultisigClosuredoes, which breaks past2038. Sweep-leaf-only, and its godoc says so — a consumer doing a type switch
over a vtxo script's closures needs no case for it.

across three modules, in two different spellings. Collapsed onto
BuildLegacySweepTapTreeRoot, pinned byte-identical to both prior forms. Thebatch-output binding check added in Hotfix validation check #67 now sources its root from it.
sweepTransactionunderstands absolute locktimes — decodes both leafkinds and carries the highest expiry date into
nLockTime. Legacy sweeps areunchanged: with only CSV leaves the locktime stays 0, exactly as before. A
failed hybrid decode falls through to the legacy decoder (a CSV leaf is under
no obligation to parse as a hybrid one, and refusing there would leave legacy
batches unswept) but its error is carried into the failure message rather than
discarded.

Review
Both bots have reviewed. CodeRabbit's finding (already-due tasks skipped the
retry policy) and all three of
arkana-ai-bot's (swallowed decode error, loosenon-finalmatch, closure godoc) are fixed; the replies on each thread say whatchanged and, for the decode error, where the suggested fix would have regressed
legacy sweeps.
