The Building Will report showed a fixed list of three "possible reasons"
whenever a build produced nothing, regardless of what actually happened; in a
case reproduced from the owner log all three were false and the real cause was
not even listed. The "Checking your will" row had the same flaw, showing one
sentence ("Found CHANGES to the DATE or the HEIRS") for five situations,
including one where it is plainly wrong (funds received).
core/heirs.py: record WHY buildTransactions gave up in a new last_build_error
attribute (8 reason codes), set at each path that previously returned empty
with no explanation, plus a processed_willexecutors counter to tell "every
will-executor was skipped" apart from "we tried and failed". Also fix a latent
crash in the prepare_transactions handler, which read a no-longer-existing
e.heirname attribute and re-raised the resulting AttributeError, masking the
real error.
gui/qt/dialogs.py: add msg_alert() (amber warning sign, body text in the theme
colour, readable in both themes), _build_failure_message() and
_check_failure_message() to turn those causes into one precise sentence each,
with an honest "cause could not be determined" fallback. Catch
BalanceTooLowException, which already carried the figures but fell through to
the generic red technical error.
No new exception classes were introduced (owner request): the plain
NotCompleteWillException cases are told apart structurally, not by text.

PR #4 (branch bitcoinafterlife-patch-5).
When deleting old transactions and clicking Check, task_phase1 would fail
with 'NoneType object has no attribute get' error in WillItem.normalize_locktime.
Root cause: In Will.normalize_will (will.py:150), the parameter others_inputs
defaults to None. At line 151, a local variable 'others_input' is created with
a safe default value (empty dict). However, lines 179 and 184 still used the
original 'others_inputs' parameter instead of the safe local variable, causing
the error when calling .get() on None.
Fix: Use the safe 'others_input' variable instead of the raw parameter in
lines 179 and 184.
Also added:
- Traceback logging to on_error_phase1 so future errors include full call stack
- Debug logging in update_all to log willitems state before processing
- Comprehensive test (test_e5_build_with_real_wallet_heirs_and_utxos) that
reproduces the exact scenario from the user's karen7 wallet
- #04: Raw/Date selector now reappears on the WILL/HEIR tabs when switching to
ADVANCED (and when a raw value is pushed from the wizard), keeping the current
value/editor. New BalTimeEditWidget.apply_user_type_visibility() wired into
WillSettingsWidget for both the locktime and check-alive boxes.
- #3: Building Will report window minimum height 500 -> 450 px.
- #5: 'User Type' setting moved to the bottom, above 'Rebroadcast transactions'.
- #6: enabling ADVANCED now requires typing 'at My Risk' (case-insensitive);
wrong phrase or cancel reverts to BASIC. QInputDialog added to common import.
- #7a: on CHECK with an emptied wallet, an extra reassuring line is shown on
'Checking your will': 'Inheritance already executed (on blockchain)' in GREEN
(CONFIRMED) or 'Inheritance in mempool (waiting confirmation)' in ORANGE
(MEMPOOL). New _executed_inheritance_status() helper.
- #7b: 'Balance is too low, or CheckAlive is in the past. Skipped' (space added)
recoloured to ORANGE instead of red.
- Reset button renamed 'Reset setting' -> 'Reset to Default Setting'.
- Added tests/test_group_h_v048.py (8 tests). Version 0.4.7 -> 0.4.8.
Full suite: 266 passed; ruff clean; CHANGELOG #24; memory updated (#04 done).
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.
- CHANGELOG_REFACTOR.md: translated sections 1-16 (header + §1-§16) from
Italian to English; sections 17-18 were already English and left untouched.
All code blocks, commit hashes, tables, names, versions and structure kept.
- DIAGNOSI_GUI.md -> GUI_DIAGNOSIS.md: renamed and fully translated to
English (title included), preserving code, line refs, emojis and tables.
- REPORT_NETWORKING_PARALLELO.md -> PARALLEL_NETWORKING_REPORT.md: renamed
only (content was already in English).
- CHANGELOG.md: added entry #12 documenting this task.
Documentation-only change; no plugin code touched (zip-first not applicable).
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.
Add tests/test_group_e_mock_giovanna7.py (22 GUI-free tests) driven by a
self-contained fake wallet named giovanna7, covering four areas:
- E1 calendar/.ics: reminder-offset distribution (compute_reminder_offsets),
VALARM/TRIGGER shape (TRIGGER;RELATED=END:-P{n}D), iCalendar escaping, and
temporary .ics file creation.
- E2 inheritance/states: loading/adding/removing heirs (Heirs), WillItem
status transitions (VALID->COMPLETE, INVALIDATED clears VALID, PUSHED clears
PUSH_FAIL), Will.only_valid, and heir-change detection.
- E3 connectivity: stubbed get_info_task proving ping_servers_parallel runs
concurrently, fires on_each once per server with the right ok flag, and
writes results back; plus empty-mapping no-op.
- E4 will-executor: is_selected default/set, get_willexecutor_transactions
filtering (only VALID+COMPLETE+not-PUSHED+selected; force re-includes PUSHED),
and compute_id.
CHANGELOG: add entry #9. ruff clean; full suite 239 passed.
D1 - number of reminders (default 3, max 5):
- new NUM_REMINDERS config in plugin_base.py
- new BalSpinBox widget bound to a BalConfig
- new pure helper compute_reminder_offsets(days, count): reminders spread
uniformly across the check-alive period, always before the deadline
(offset >= 1), at most one per available day, de-duplicated, earliest
first (e.g. (30,3)->[30,16,1], (2,3)->[2,1], (1,3)->[1], (0,3)->[])
- create_alarms() rewritten to use it and emit one VALARM per offset with a
DESCRIPTION reminder text
- 'Number of reminders' spin box (range 1..5) added to the settings dialog
and to the Reset list
D1b - save-only .ics (ask where, default to Desktop):
- BalCalendar.desktop_dir() helper (~/Desktop with home fallback)
- open_or_save_calendar() no longer opens the file with a calendar app; it
always shows a 'save as' dialog (.ics filter, default will_event.ics,
starting on the Desktop) and copies the file there, then confirms.
Identical behaviour on Windows/Linux/macOS. save_to_cwd -> save_ics_to.
Follow-up: removed the now-unused 'Calendar App' field from the settings
dialog (and from the Reset list). CALENDAR_APP config and
open_with_default_app left in place (unused) to avoid unrelated changes.
D2 intentionally skipped (per user request).
tests/test_group_d_alarms.py: 7 new tests (NUM_REMINDERS default/change and
all distribution rules). Full suite: 217 passed.
C2 - 'Editable dates' option (default OFF):
- new EDITABLE_DATES config; checkbox in settings dialog
- WillSettingsWidget.apply_editable_dates() re-locks/unlocks the
delivery-time and check-alive fields, called from update_all() so the
toggle takes effect immediately (same mechanism as Hide Invalidated)
- EDITABLE_DATES included in the Reset-to-defaults list
C3 - RAW date box narrowed to ~1/3 (input box 6 chars); the trailing
label that shows the computed absolute date kept at 10 chars (fixed a
truncation regression)
C4 - settings dialog:
(a) bold red warning at the top
(b) 'Reset setting' button restoring all 7 dialog settings to defaults
(single source of truth: BalConfig.default), not touching wills
(c) bold 'Support: bitcoin-after.life' link (opens via webopen)
C5 - tooltips: calendar 'Export reminder dates to your calendar (.ics)',
fee field 'Mining fee rate in sat/vByte used for the will transactions',
fee '丰' icon 'Miner fee, click for more information' (tooltip font scoped
to QPushButton so it matches the other tooltips)
C6 - Locktime column rendered in bold in the will list
tests/test_group_c_settings.py: 4 new tests (EDITABLE_DATES default/toggle,
reset restores all dialog settings incl. EDITABLE_DATES, reset leaves
unrelated config untouched). Full suite: 210 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.
