Owner-approved changes after testing v0.4.6, plus accumulated v0.4.x work,
task-tracking notes, and an updated project HANDOFF document.
The four v0.4.7 changes:
1. Report area (BalBuildWillDialog) opens 500px tall (min) up to 700px (max),
then the scrollbar takes over. Previously it opened ~140px (too short).
2. Heirs are listed ONE per line again (green, bold) in _build_success_report,
reverting the v0.4.6 single-line form. Heir names can be long and the report
now scrolls, so compression is no longer needed.
3. Two wizard texts get an explicit line break: after "(or backup)" in the date
hint and after "miner fees" in the fee note (widgets.py).
4. ALL-DUST guard: when EVERY heir's share is below the Bitcoin dust limit, the
inheritance would pay nobody. Heirs.prepare_lists now raises
HeirAmountIsDustException at the end (where all heirs across all locktimes
are known with their final dust state), and dialogs.task_phase1 shows a clear
RED message and stops without building/signing/checking. A mix of dust +
valid heirs keeps building normally. The guard is intentionally in
prepare_lists, NOT prepare_transactions (which only sees the lowest locktime
and would false-positive). HeirAmountIsDustException is imported in common.py.
Tests: 3 new tests in test_core_heirs_extra.py pin the dust behaviour (all-dust
raises; mixed continues; multi-locktime continues). Full suite: 258 passed.
ruff: no new errors. Version bumped 0.4.6 -> 0.4.7 (4 files). CHANGELOG #23.
Also adds/updates HANDOFF.md so any future AI (Claude or another model) can
resume the project with full context (rules, layout, build/test/lint, dust
logic, git flow), and records the task-tracking notes in
.agent_memory_tasks.md.
UI batch (TASK A/B/C/D):
- (A) Clearer 'Will expired' message: shortened will id (8+8 chars) and
readable UTC date instead of raw UNIX timestamp; shown in WARNING colour
(orange) instead of ERROR (red) in the wizard, as it is an expected step.
- (A2) Split the orange message onto two lines via <br> (rendered as HTML by
msg_warning) to avoid an overly long single line.
- (B) History tab labels (text only): inheritance txs -> 'BAL Inheritance
transaction'; invalidate tx -> 'BAL Invalidate transaction'. Colours left
to Electrum defaults.
- (C) New 'No will-executor TX' checkbox in plugin settings, bound to the
existing NO_WILLEXECUTOR config (default ON, kept in sync with the wizard),
with help text, and included in the settings reset action.
- (D) Wizard button label 'Create your will' -> 'Build Your Will'.
Regression fix (A3):
- When an heir was added to an already-expired will via the wizard, the
automatic invalidation no longer triggered. Root cause: the inner
check_will() after build_will() raised WillExpiredException and the handler
returned (False, None), which never invalidated.
- Auto-opening the invalidation tx window from the closing wizard proved
unreliable (the window ended up behind the main wallet on some window
managers; a re-check loop could ask to invalidate repeatedly before the tx
reached the mempool). The robust fix: close the wizard and show a clear
instruction popup guiding the user to run 'Tools -> Invalidate' and then
press 'Check' to finish the will. Reasoning documented in the code.
Version bumped to 0.3.9 (manifest.json, __init__.py, plugin_base.py, VERSION).
CHANGELOG entry #15 updated. Verified: py_compile OK, ruff clean (no new
errors), full test suite 239 passed.
Rewrite the CHECK ALIVE help popup (ThresholdTimeWidget.help_text) to explain
both modes, keeping the <b>CHECK ALIVE</b> title bold:
- DATA mode: set the check-alive date; on wallet open, if the date has passed
the plugin asks whether to postpone the inheritance.
- RAW mode: when less than this time is missing, ask to invalidate; failing to
invalidate delivers the transactions to the heirs; kept the d/y suffix help.
Fix two typos within this help text: 'less then' -> 'less than',
'currrent' -> 'current'.
Bump version to 0.3.8 across the four version files. CHANGELOG entry #14.
- open_or_save_calendar(): emit one VEVENT per reminder instead of a single
event with VALARM blocks. Dates come from compute_reminder_offsets(), spread
across the check-alive period, with the LAST event one day before the
locktime. Unique UID per event (bal-<wallet>-<offset>d) and numbered
summaries ' (reminder N/total)'.
- Removed the now-unused create_alarms() method (no more VALARM).
- Default save filename changed from will_event.ics to BAL_will_event.ics.
- common.py: added timedelta to the datetime import.
- plugin_base.py: updated the NUM_REMINDERS comment for the new behaviour.
- tests: replaced the VALARM E1 test with test_e1_build_separate_events_for_giovanna.
- Bumped version to 0.3.7 (4 files) and added CHANGELOG entry #13.
Tests: 239 passed. ruff: no new errors.
Two GUI fixes bundled together (v0.3.6):
- Fix#10 (black bar): in dialogs.py on_success_phase1, the cancelled
invalidation branch no longer calls the blocking self.wait(3)+self.close().
wait() uses time.sleep() and runs in the GUI thread, freezing the UI so the
'Building Will' dialog could not repaint the area it just resized, leaving a
black rectangle at the bottom. It now shows 'Aborted' plus the existing
non-blocking Close button (_add_close_button), consistent with the other
end-of-flow branches.
- Fix#11 (editable fee): in widgets.py WillSettingsWidget.apply_editable_dates,
the fee widget (baltx_fees) now follows the same 'Editable dates' setting as
the locktime/threshold widgets (set_read_only(not editable_dates)) instead of
being forced read-only. With the setting ticked, dates AND fee are editable
outside the wizard; unticked, all three are read-only. Default stays OFF.
Version bumped 0.3.5 -> 0.3.6 (manifest.json, __init__.py, plugin_base.py,
VERSION). CHANGELOG: entries #10 and #11. ruff clean; full suite 239 passed.
Bump plugin version to 0.3.4 (manifest, __init__, plugin_base, VERSION).
GROUP A
- A1: remove block-height locktimes; the plugin now uses UNIX timestamps
only. The NLOCKTIME_BLOCKHEIGHT_MAX guard is kept on purpose (it forces
every locktime to be a timestamp). chk_locktime is now 2-arg; int_locktime
and anticipate_locktime no longer accept blocks; RAW input only accepts d/y.
Two now-dormant configs (LOCKTIME_BLOCKS, LOCKTIMEDELTA_BLOCKS) are kept with
comments to avoid touching persisted keys.
- A2: rename PENDING -> MEMPOOL everywhere (label 'Mempool', yellow #ffce30);
add new UPDATED status; ANTICIPATED & UPDATED keep VALID; documented
set_status rules; backward-compat migration (old PENDING -> MEMPOOL).
- A3: clarify that anticipating to a future date only rebuilds (never
invalidates), while only a past locktime invalidates (WillExpired). Code was
already correct; only the comment and docs were fixed.
Colour follow-up: UPDATED lightened from #800080 to #b266b2 (more readable),
updated in theme.py, docs and the theme test.
GROUP B
- B1: verified the 'Create your will' button already opens the guided wizard
(no code change needed).
- B2: new persisted AUTO_SIGN setting (default ON) with an 'Auto-sign on Check'
checkbox in the settings dialog. When enabled, Check signs and broadcasts
automatically; the wallet password is requested only for encrypted wallets.
B2 follow-up (fixes reported after testing):
- Remove the duplicate sign/broadcast cycle in lists.check(); build_will_task()
already signs and broadcasts.
- Suppress the manual 'press Sign/Broadcast' hint and its popup when AUTO_SIGN
is ON (kept when OFF).
- Make broadcast one-shot: removed the retry flag and the Exception('retry');
failed will-executors stay PUSH_FAIL and are skipped (no endless retry).
PUSHED transactions are already excluded from re-collection.
Docs: inheritance-options.md/.html and inheritance-flow.svg updated to v0.3.4.
Tests: 206 passing (new test_anticipate_manual_locktime, test_anticipate_past_locktime,
test_group_b_auto_sign; updated core/util, core/will_extra, gui/theme, gui/widgets).
CHANGELOG.md added with one numbered entry per task.
Fix and refine the BAL plugin GUI without changing business logic:
core/will.py: restore the PUSHED requirement in needs_server_check so a
signed-but-not-broadcast will is no longer server-queried and therefore
stays blue (COMPLETE) instead of turning red (CHECK_FAIL). This matches the
original Gitea check() condition.
gui/qt/widgets.py: WillSettingsWidget vertical layout now caps every row to
the widest date-row width and left-aligns them; the leading icons keep their
original HelpButton width.
gui/qt/lists.py + gui/qt/common.py: the wizard toolbar button now shows a
28x28 icon plus a bold 'Create your will' caption (QSize imported).
gui/qt/dialogs.py (BalBuildWillDialog):
- closing summary row labelled 'All done: Ok' with a blank separator above it;
- 'checking variables' capitalised to 'Checking variables' (redundant trailing
colon dropped);
- final auto-closing countdown replaced by an explicit right-aligned 'Close'
button; intermediate technical pauses kept; next-steps popup preserved.
gui/qt/window.py + core/plugin_base.py: guide show_message on build, and
sync_hide_filters() in update_all so hide flags refresh immediately.
tests: test_needs_server_check updated; added offscreen preview helpers.
Version bumped to 0.3.3. 186 tests pass; ruff clean (baseline only).
Revert the v0.3.1 double-invalidation change (it caused an inheritance-list
regression: stale/invalidated wills lingered and heir/date updates became
incoherent) and add several targeted missed-update fixes plus a UI refinement.
Revert (v0.3.1 -> v0.3.2):
- Remove Will.mark_invalidated_by_tx() and its call in
loop_broadcast_invalidating. core/will.py and gui/qt/dialogs.py are restored
to the working v0.3.0 behaviour. The postpone double-invalidation issue is
intentionally left open, to be addressed without touching the shared
broadcast path.
FIX 1 - detect heir removal on Check / Electrum close:
- core/will.py (check_willexecutors_and_heirs): the else-branch now raises
HeirNotFoundException when a will still carries an heir that is no longer in
the current heirs set (heir removed), mirroring the existing 'heir added'
path. Rebuild therefore triggers on Check and on_close (same build_will_task
path), as decided by the user (manual update only, no auto-rebuild).
FIX 2 - Check queries servers for already-sent wills:
- core/will.py: new Will.needs_server_check(w) returns True for any VALID will
with a will-executor that is not yet CHECKED (no longer limited to PUSHED).
- gui/qt/lists.py (PreviewList.check): use needs_server_check so wills stuck on
'New / Not sent' are re-checked instead of reporting 'nothing to do'.
FIX 3 - Settings-dialog hide toggles refresh the list:
- core/plugin_base.py: new sync_hide_filters() re-reads the cached
_hide_invalidated / _hide_replaced flags from the persisted config.
- gui/qt/window.py (update_all): call sync_hide_filters() before refreshing, so
toggling 'Hide Invalidated' / 'Hide Replaced' in the Settings dialog (which
writes the config directly) updates the transaction list immediately instead
of requiring an Electrum restart.
UI - bold results in the Building Will dialog:
- gui/qt/dialogs.py (BalBuildWillDialog): render the right-side results in bold
(Ok, Ko, Nothing to do, Skipped, Wait, Timeout, ...) keeping the left-side
state labels in normal weight. Centralised in msg_ok/msg_error/msg_warning/
msg_set_status, plus the will-executor push/check rows now show Ok/Ko and
True/False in bold + colour (green/red).
Tests/tooling:
- tests/test_core_will.py: add test_check_heirs_unchanged_is_coherent,
test_check_heir_removed_triggers_rebuild, test_check_heir_added_triggers_rebuild,
test_needs_server_check.
- tests/sim_update_flows.py: real-world update-scenario simulation.
- tests/preview_build_will_dialog.py, tests/preview_we_rows.py: GUI-only
before/after previews of the bold formatting.
- Bump version to 0.3.2 (VERSION, manifest.json, __init__.py, plugin_base.py).
186 tests pass; smoke test, external-zip test and update-flow simulation OK;
ruff reports only pre-existing star-import false positives.
When postponing the delivery time of an already signed/sent will, the user
was asked to sign the on-chain invalidation transaction twice before the new
(postponed) will could be built.
Root cause: after the invalidation tx was broadcast, on_success_invalidate
restarted task_phase1 to rebuild the will, but the old will items were still
marked COMPLETE/PUSHED with their original tx.locktime (the on-chain
invalidation did not update the in-memory status). The postpone check therefore
fired WillPostponedException a second time, requesting another invalidation.
Fix:
- Add Will.mark_invalidated_by_tx(will, tx): marks INVALIDATED every valid will
item that spends a prevout consumed by the just-broadcast invalidation tx.
Setting INVALIDATED clears the VALID flag, removing those items from
only_valid_list so the postpone/expire check no longer fires.
- Call it from loop_broadcast_invalidating after a successful broadcast (txid
obtained) and persist via save_willitems. On the phase-1 restart the old will
is no longer VALID, so the will is rebuilt directly: a single invalidation
signature followed by the new will.
Tests: add test_will_mark_invalidated_by_tx and
test_will_mark_invalidated_by_tx_no_match plus the WillPostponedException
hierarchy assertion. 184 tests pass; smoke and external-zip OK; ruff clean.
Bump version to 0.3.1.
Bump plugin version from 0.2.8 to 0.3.0 in VERSION, manifest.json,
__init__.py and core/plugin_base.py for the 0.3.0 release (postpone
invalidation safety + Server status column).
