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.
The checkbox is already available in the Will-Executor tab; showing it
in the settings dialog was redundant. Renumber grid rows 5-16 -> 4-15
to close the gap.
- bal/core/plugin_base.py: change chainname from frozen class attribute
to @classproperty so it reads constants.net.NET_NAME at runtime, fixing
regtest/testnet always downloading the mainnet executor list
- bal/core/willexecutors.py: remove module-level chainname capture;
all uses now read BalPlugin.chainname directly
- bal/gui/qt/dialogs.py: when BalBuildWillDialog detects no heirs,
return 'no_heirs' signal and show Heirs/Wizard/Close buttons (mirroring
the existing no-willexecutor pattern); add HeirsDialog with full
HeirListWidget (New Heir, Import, Export)
- CHANGELOG: add entries #47 (is_selected/is_valid fee bounds, extremes allowed) and #48 (merge_will crash fix on missing date_to_check)
- HANDOFF: Electrum 4.7.2 and 4.8.0, current layout (qt.py, plugin.py, wallet_util/, docs/, bal_cli.py, 36-file ZIP), runtime/lint venv paths, standalone-script tests (427 collected), direct-to-main workflow, version history up to v0.6.1
- README: drop VERSION from layout, correct anticipate/expire/postpone behavior, update test commands
- docs/manual/README.md: fix Tools menu label to Will-Executors, add BASIC/ADVANCED notes, extend chromatic status table (Partially signed, Updated)
- docs/inheritance-options.md: add PARTIALLY_SIGNED status/transition/colour, version note to v0.6.1
- docs/README.md: make HTML-hosting instructions host-agnostic
- bal/README.md: Prepare button lives on the WILL tab
Replace the separate Export / Export V-NC toolbar actions with a cascading
Export submenu: All exports every will item, Valid exports only valid ones,
Valid NC exports valid items that are not yet fully signed.
- Sort imports and fix pyproject ruff config (per-file ignores for
intentional Qt/core exceptions)
- Mark Heirs.validate_* helpers as @staticmethod
- Clean up dead code, rename shadowing vars, use raise ... from
- Add AGENTS.md with env/lint/test/release guidance
Allow heirs to produce an OP_RETURN output instead of a regular BTC
payment. An address prefixed with OP_RETURN: carries hex data (max 80
bytes); such heirs always have amount 0 and are excluded from amount
calculations. GUI dialog shows a message field with the decoded text,
the heir list displays the decoded message, and the OP_RETURN output
is emitted with zero value in inheritance transactions.
Read the plugin version at runtime from bal/manifest.json via
importlib.resources (zip-safe, works from inside a zip on Windows).
Removes the four-file duplication (VERSION, __init__.py, plugin_base.py,
manifest.json) and deletes the bal/VERSION file.
- bal/core/plugin_base.py: new get_version() function, BalPlugin.version
is now a @property, removed hardcoded __version__
- bal/__init__.py: removed __version__, replaced with a comment
- bal/core/willexecutors.py: user-agent uses get_version()
- bal/gui/qt/dialogs.py, widgets.py: call sites use .version property
- tests/test_version_source.py: 7 tests incl. zip-safe subprocess check
- HANDOFF.md: updated to single-source-of-truth documentation
- CHANGELOG.md: entries 43-46
- bal/manifest.json: version bumped to 0.6.1
PR #4 (branch bitcoinafterlife-patch-5).
