GenSpark AI Developer 343046ed34 feat(will): invalidate signed will on postpone + add Server status column
Postpone safety (Strategy B):
- A signed/sent will carries an immutable locktime; postponing the delivery
  time previously did nothing, so a will-executor could still broadcast the
  old (earlier-locktime) transaction and execute the inheritance too early.
- core/will.py: add WillPostponedException and detect postpone by comparing
  the requested locktime against w.tx.locktime (the locktime frozen in the
  signed transaction) instead of the in-memory heir entry, which is updated
  together with the new value and would always compare equal.
- gui/qt/dialogs.py (BalBuildWillDialog.task_phase1, the real path used by
  Tools -> Prepare): handle WillPostponedException before NotCompleteWill;
  return (None, tx) to trigger sign + broadcast of the invalidation, then the
  user presses Prepare again to rebuild/re-sign/re-send (two explicit steps).
- gui/qt/window.py: mirror the branch in build_inheritance_transaction with an
  explanatory message; wording aligned to the 'Prepare' button.
- gui/qt/common.py: export WillPostponedException.
- A postpone on a will that was never signed/sent just rebuilds (no on-chain
  fee).

Server status column:
- gui/qt/lists.py: add a dedicated 'Server' column to PreviewList with an
  always-readable label and a tooltip (will-executor URL + state).
- gui/qt/theme.py: add server_status_text() and server_status_tooltip(),
  reusing the existing status flags.
- gui/qt/common.py: export the new theme helpers.

Docs: update README.md, bal/README.md and CHANGELOG_REFACTOR.md.

Tests: 182 passed; smoke + external-zip OK; ruff has no new real findings.

BalPlugin

Bitcoin After Life Electrum Plugin

Free and decentralized Bitcoin inheritance support for Electrum: build time-locked "will" transactions that transfer your funds to your heirs if you stop refreshing them (dead-man's switch), optionally relayed by will-executor servers.

Key behaviours

  • Anticipate / postpone safety: changing the delivery time of an already-signed will is handled safely. Postponing a signed/sent will first asks you to invalidate the old transaction on-chain (so a will-executor can never broadcast the earlier-locktime transaction and execute the inheritance too early), then lets you rebuild and re-send the new one via Tools → Prepare.
  • "Server" column: the will transaction list shows whether each transaction is actually stored on the will-executor servers (Confirmed on server, Sent (not checked), Send failed, Not on server, Signed (not sent), Not sent), with a tooltip showing the will-executor URL.

See the top-level README.md for installation and testing.
