docs: add DUST section to inheritance-options (v0.4.7) and translate agent memory to English
- inheritance-options.md/.html: new section 4.8 explaining the dust limit (some-dust continues vs all-dust blocks), dust quick-reference row, golden rule #5, and footer bumped to v0.4.7 referencing core/heirs.py. - .agent_memory_tasks.md: translated remaining Italian user-quote lines to English (Point B2 = replace, English only, no Italian originals kept). - Verified: no Italian text remains in any repo doc; md/html mirrors in sync.

<h3>4.8 An heir's share is below the dust limit (DUST)</h3>
|
||||
<p>Bitcoin refuses outputs that are too small to spend — the <strong>dust limit</strong>
|
||||
(the wallet's <code>dust_threshold</code>). BAL resolves each heir's final amount when it builds
|
||||
the will (<code>Heirs.prepare_lists</code>) and compares every share against that limit.</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Some heirs are dust, others valid → build continues.</strong> Each dust heir is
|
||||
<strong>skipped</strong> (its share would be unspendable) and listed in the build report as
|
||||
<em>“… is DUST – excluded (amount below dust limit)”</em>. The will is still prepared, signed and
|
||||
checked with the payable heirs (unchanged behaviour).</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>EVERY heir is dust → build blocked.</strong> If all shares are below the dust limit the
|
||||
inheritance would pay nobody. As of <strong>v0.4.7</strong> BAL refuses it
|
||||
(<code>HeirAmountIsDustException</code>) and the <strong>Building Will</strong> window stops with a
|
||||
clear <span class="pill red">red</span> message: <em>“All heirs' shares are below the dust limit:
|
||||
the inheritance cannot be created. Increase the amounts or reduce the number of heirs.”</em>
|
||||
Nothing is built, signed, checked or added to the list.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<blockquote><strong>When?</strong> Typically with a <strong>very small balance</strong> split among
|
||||
<strong>percentage</strong> heirs, or when every fixed amount is below the dust limit. Fix: raise the
|
||||
per‑heir amounts or use fewer heirs.</blockquote>
|
||||
<blockquote><strong>Note (v0.4.7):</strong> the dust check lives in <code>prepare_lists</code>, which sees
|
||||
<strong>all</strong> heirs across <strong>all</strong> locktimes — a single transaction only covers the
|
||||
earliest locktime, so checking there would wrongly block a will whose later dates still have valid
|
||||
heirs. <strong>On‑chain fee:</strong> none (pre‑build safety check).</blockquote>
