Removes details field from conf notifications, in favor
of using the details on the confSet. We also bound the
requested conf depth to the reorg saftey limit, as the
behavior of state tracking within the notifier is
undefined otherwise.
In this commit, we address a small bug where it's possible to deliver a
confirmation notification with stale confirmation details upon
registration. This can happen if a transaction has confirmed but was
reorged out of the chain later on, and a subsequent notification is
registered.
In this commit, we'll attempt to consume a reorg notification for a
transaction that was previously reorged out of the chain upon block
inclusion to ensure that it is not lingering due to a client not
handling it the first time.
In this commit, we mark the rescan status for a transaction as complete
if we happen to detect it has confirmed within a new block that extends
the chain. We do this as otherwise, it's possible for us to not
immediately dispatch the notification upon a subsequent registration due
to the rescan state machine.
This commit ensures that a confSet's details
are assigned in the confNotifications index
after discovering the transaction at tip. The
recent changes allow a later notification to
be dispatched on registration if an earlier one
has already discovered the confirmation details.
Before this change, it was observed that a later
registration would attempt an immediate delivery,
but fail to do so because the confset's details
were nil. This commit remedies that dispatch path,
allowing the integration tests to pass again.
This commit removes shadowing of the currentHeight
variable when registering for neutrino spend
notifications. Currently, a locally scoped variable
is used when determining if the backend is fully
synced before attempting to call GetUtxo, which
means that the variable won't be updated after
breaking out of the loop. As a result, this could
cause us to scan unnecessarily if the backend is
catching up, e.g. after being offline for some time.
After joining the two forked chains, it is necessary to ensure they both agree on the same best hash before proceeding to UnsafeStart the notifier.
This is because when the BitcoindClient starts, it retrieves its best known block then calls GetBlockHeaderVerbose on the hash of the retrieved block. This block could be a reorged block if JoinNodes has not completed sync. If it is the case that the best block retrieved has been reorged out of the chain, GetBlockHeaderVerbose errors because bitcoind sets the number of confirmations to -1 on reorged blocks, and the btcd rpc client panics when parsing a block whose number of confirmations is negative.
This parsing error is expected to be fixed, and as a more permanent solution chain backends should ensure that the `best block` they retrieve during startup has not been reorged out of the chain.
