Summary

Connecting no longer waits forever on a dead Electrum socket, and it no longer drops the user back on Welcome with no explanation.

Bitcoin probes wss://electrum.arkade.sh with server.version. If that host does not answer, it uses wss://blockstream.info/electrum-websocket/api — the Blockstream websocket that responded; the path without /api did not. The first server that answers is the one later requests use.

If neither answers, setup stops and the connect screen stays up with Electrum is offline. Unlock shows the same message.

Test plan

  • server.version against Arkade and wss://blockstream.info/electrum-websocket/api
  • tsc --noEmit
  • Vitest: probe order, fallback, both-offline error, connect screen copy
  • Restore a mainnet wallet while wss://electrum.arkade.sh returns 502 and confirm it continues on Blockstream
  • Block both hosts and confirm the connect screen says Electrum is offline
Open in Web Open in Cursor 

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Bitcoin connections now try the configured Electrum server first and use Blockstream as a fallback. Other networks continue to use their configured server.
    • Connection and wallet-unlock screens show a clear message when Electrum is offline. The connection screen also offers a way to return.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Failed connection attempts can be retried, and connection errors no longer prevent a later successful attempt.
    • Backup loading now filters out events not authored by the current account.

A 502 from wss://electrum.arkade.sh, or a blockchain.transaction.get timeout, was awaited inside INIT_WALLET. That message times out and Connect returns the user to the welcome screen.

Mainnet now falls back to Blockstream's Electrum websocket. A failed handshake moves on immediately, and boarding history is no longer on the setup path.

Walkthrough

Electrum now probes ordered endpoints, retries eligible non-broadcast requests after transport failures, and reports offline errors. Initialization and unlock screens display translated offline messages. Nostr storage now filters subscription events by author.

Changes

Electrum endpoint and outage flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Endpoint probing and request handling
src/lib/electrum.ts, src/test/lib/electrum.test.ts
The provider probes endpoints in network-specific order, manages connections, and retries eligible non-broadcast requests after transport failures. Tests cover endpoint selection, retries, subscription routing, and offline recovery.
Offline error display
src/lib/i18n.ts, src/screens/Init/Connect.tsx, src/screens/Wallet/Unlock.tsx, src/test/screens/Connect.test.tsx
Initialization and unlock flows identify Electrum offline errors and display translated messages. Initialization displays an error page and clears credentials after the exit animation or when the back action is used. Tests cover initialization error display and navigation behavior.

Nostr storage author filtering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Author filter and subscription test
src/lib/nostr.ts, src/test/lib/nostr.test.ts
The storage subscription filter includes the current public key as the event author. The callback still drops events with a different author and no longer logs that mismatch. A test checks the subscription filter.

…down

Ask Arkade's server first. If it does not answer, use Blockstream's Electrum websocket. When neither does, the connect screen stays up and says Electrum is offline.
A failed request, including a broadcast timeout, stays on the server that already connected. Unsubscribe uses that same socket. Both hosts down still surfaces Electrum is offline.

A host that connects and then times out blockchain.transaction.get was still failing restore. That read is tried once on Blockstream. Broadcasts stay put. If Electrum still fails, the connect screen stays up and says so.

Arkana code review — PR #1122

Overall approach is sound: sequential probe, broadcast-safety guard preventing double-send, and a clean UI fix that keeps the user on the connect screen instead of dropping them back to welcome. A few items need attention before merge.


🔴 Shared-options mutation in ws-electrumx-client — probe sockets are uncloseably leaked

src/lib/electrum.ts — ProbedElectrumSocket.connect()

ElectrumWS constructor does:

// ws-electrumx-client@1.0.5, electrum-ws.js line 56
this.options = Object.assign(ElectrumWS.DEFAULT_OPTIONS, options);

Object.assign mutates DEFAULT_OPTIONS in place — every ElectrumWS instance shares the exact same object. Calling close() on any one of them executes this.options.reconnect = false, which disables reconnection globally. The existing comment on ProbedElectrumSocket.close() ("Closing one client flips reconnect off for every other one") documents the symptom correctly, but the consequence hasn't been fully followed through for the probe path:

When connect() opens new ElectrumWS(urls[0]) and it doesn't connect within CONNECT_WAIT_MS, the socket is abandoned (never closed). Because reconnect remains true on the shared options, that socket enters the library's exponential-backoff reconnect loop and runs there forever — one leaking socket per connect() invocation where the primary URL fails. After enough failover/retry cycles (e.g., Arkade flaps repeatedly during a long session), this accumulates.

Fix options:

  1. Upstream fix in @arkade-os/sdk / ws-electrumx-client to use Object.assign({}, DEFAULT_OPTIONS, options) so each instance gets its own copy, after which close() on a probe socket is safe.
  2. Until then, expose a method on ProbedElectrumSocket that closes all tracked but not-yet-active sockets (safe only after the options-sharing bug is fixed upstream).

🟡 isElectrumOffline misclassifies broadcast timeouts

src/lib/electrum.ts lines ~35–42

return (
  message.includes('Electrum is offline') ||
  message.includes('ElectrumWS') ||          // ← matches broadcast timeout
  message.includes('INIT_WALLET')
)

message.includes('ElectrumWS') is true for 'ElectrumWS request timeout. request ID: 1 (blockchain.transaction.broadcast)'. Today's callers (Connect.tsx, Unlock.tsx) don't invoke broadcast, so this doesn't surface in the tested flows. But isElectrumOffline is a public export, and any future error-handler that passes a broadcast failure through it will tell the user "Electrum is offline" when the transaction may already be in the mempool.

A tighter predicate:

message.includes('Electrum is offline') ||
message.includes('ElectrumWS connection failed') ||
message.includes('ElectrumWS request timeout') ||
message.includes('INIT_WALLET')

(The request-timeout string still appears for non-broadcast timeouts, so it still identifies the offline-equivalent case without being broadcast-specific.)


🟡 INIT_WALLET match is too broad

src/lib/electrum.ts line ~42

message.includes('INIT_WALLET') catches 'Service worker message timed out (INIT_WALLET)'. A service worker message timeout is not an Electrum connectivity problem — the worker might be unresponsive for entirely different reasons (crash, update cycle, permission revocation). Showing "Electrum is offline" in that case gives users wrong recovery instructions. Consider matching on the more specific 'INIT_WALLET failed: Electrum is offline' that the worker actually emits when Electrum is the culprit.


🟡 as unknown as ElectrumWS cast relies on undocumented SDK behaviour

src/lib/electrum.ts — electrumProvider function

provider = new ElectrumOnchainProvider(socket as unknown as ElectrumWS, getNetwork(network))

Verified against the current SDK bundle: ElectrumOnchainProvider and WsElectrumChainSource only call ws.request, ws.subscribe, ws.unsubscribe, and ws.close — all implemented by ProbedElectrumSocket. The cast is safe today. However, it will silently break (runtime TypeError, not compile error) if the SDK adds any new property access on ws. A comment here that names exactly which methods are relied upon (// used: request, subscribe, unsubscribe, close) and links to this PR would reduce the maintenance burden. A proper fix is an upstream interface narrowing in @arkade-os/sdk.


🟠 Concurrent leave() callers on the last server diverge in error behaviour

src/lib/electrum.ts — ProbedElectrumSocket.leave()

When activeIndex >= urls.length - 1 (Blockstream is the last and just failed), the first caller to reach leave() with this.active === failed sets active = undefined, pending = undefined, and returns Promise.reject(new ElectrumOfflineError()). Concurrent callers that arrive after active is cleared hit this.active !== failed and return this.moving ?? Promise.resolve(). Since this.moving is undefined in this code path, they get Promise.resolve() and proceed to call this.call(method, params, false) → this.socket() → a fresh connect() from index 0.

This means a burst of concurrent requests hitting both-down simultaneously will split: some get ElectrumOfflineError, others silently retry from Arkade. The retrying ones will either succeed (Arkade came back) or fail with a socket-level error rather than ElectrumOfflineError, so the UI may not show the "Electrum is offline" message for those.

This is a nit in a rare scenario; no fund risk. Worth addressing to keep the error surface consistent.


🔵 Removed singleton test not replaced

src/test/lib/electrum.test.ts

The old assertion expect(electrumProvider('regtest')).toBe(electrumProvider('regtest')) was removed. The singleton invariant still exists in production code; add it back alongside the new ProbedElectrumSocket tests.


✅ What's correct

  • Broadcast-safety guard at src/lib/electrum.ts (isBroadcast check in call()) is correct — a timed-out broadcast is never retried on the fallback. This is the most important safety property.
  • leave() single-move deduplication (this.moving) correctly coalesces a burst of concurrent transport failures into one failover.
  • connect() starting from this.activeIndex after a partial failover avoids re-probing already-rejected hosts.
  • Connect.tsx early-return on error is a clean UX fix. Removing setConnectDone(true) on error correctly prevents the fly-up animation from triggering and depositing the user on the welcome screen.
  • Unlock.tsx change is minimal and correct.
  • Test coverage for the new paths is good; the fakeSocket helper is well-structured.

Kind-4 events addressed to us but signed by another key were logged as a restore error. Relays are now asked for authors matching this key, and a foreign event is skipped quietly.
A dropped Arkade socket was left reconnecting because every Electrum client shares one options object. Each socket now has its own options, a failed probe is closed, and a read cannot wait forever for a host that never connects.

Retry on the current host when a late read fails on an old socket.

The this.active !== failed branch returns this.moving ?? Promise.reject(new ElectrumOfflineError()). moving clears as soon as the new host connects. The comment says "one move for a burst", but timeouts are spread out over time.

Example: two reads are in flight on Arkade, and the second started 1 s after the first. The first read times out and moves to Blockstream, which connects quickly. When the second read times out, moving is undefined. leave then rejects with ElectrumOfflineError, although Blockstream is connected. The caller sees "Electrum is offline" and never retries on the working host. Wallet restore issues many blockchain.transaction.get calls, so this can happen there.

The retry in call already goes through this.socket(), so leave only needs to resolve here. socket() then returns the active host or reconnects, and it raises ElectrumOfflineError if every host is down.

Close the failed socket in leave.

leave clears the failed socket without calling abandon. Because openSocket enables reconnects, the socket can remain live and can start a reconnect loop when it later closes. Call abandon(failed) in both branches.

Follow-up pass — 4 commits since a843367. 5 of 6 prior issues fixed; 1 still open; 2 new findings, one of which is a confirmed UX regression.


Prior-issue close-out

✅ Fixed — #1 (🔴 ws-electrumx-client shared-options socket leak)

Fixed in commit 6abec45 via openSocket() (src/lib/electrum.ts): each socket now gets its own options object via runtime property replacement, and abandon() is called on every probe that fails to connect in connect(). Both halves of the fix are present and correct.

✅ Fixed — #2 & #3 (🟡 isElectrumOffline over-broad; 🟡 INIT_WALLET match wrong)

Fixed in the same commit. The new predicate (src/lib/electrum.ts ~line 26):

if (message.includes('blockchain.transaction.broadcast')) return false
return (
  message.includes('Electrum is offline') ||
  message.includes('ElectrumWS connection failed') ||
  message.includes('ElectrumWS request timeout')
)

Broadcasts are explicitly excluded. The INIT_WALLET substring is gone entirely. Both concerns addressed.

✅ Fixed — #4 (🟡 as unknown as ElectrumWS undocumented)

Comment added at electrumProvider: "ElectrumOnchainProvider only uses request, subscribe, unsubscribe, and close on the socket (SDK 0.5.0). The cast breaks if a later SDK reads anything else." Exactly what was requested.

✅ Fixed — #5 (🟠 Concurrent leave() divergence at last server)

Fixed by the offline flag. When both hosts are down, the first caller sets this.offline = true; subsequent concurrent callers hit if (this.offline) return Promise.reject(new ElectrumOfflineError()) at the top of leave() before they can branch into the ?? Promise.resolve() path. The next socket() call resets offline = false and restarts probing from index 0. The test "says Electrum is offline when both servers are down, and tries again later" covers this.

🔵 Still open — #6 (Missing singleton test for electrumProvider)

src/test/lib/electrum.test.ts — expect(electrumProvider('regtest')).toBe(electrumProvider('regtest')) was not re-added. The singleton guarantee still exists in production code (providers.get(network)) and the test suite does not cover it.


New findings

🟡 QrCode.tsx — on-chain receive shows total UTXO value, not deposit value

src/screens/Wallet/Receive/QrCode.tsx

The old takeFreshCoins(known, coins) logic subtracted pre-existing boarding UTXOs so only the genuinely new deposit value was shown. That code was removed along with boardingCoins.ts. The replacement:

if (event.data && event.data.type === 'UTXO_UPDATE') {
  const coins = event.data.payload?.coins
  if (Array.isArray(coins)) {
    sats = (coins as Coin[]).reduce((acc, v) => acc + v.value, 0)   // ← sums ALL coins
  }
}

I verified the SDK at /srv/arkana/repos/ts-sdk/packages/sdk/src/wallet/serviceWorker/wallet-message-handler.ts: the subscription handler runs wallet.getBoardingUtxos() and emits UTXO_UPDATE with the full set of boarding UTXOs on every new boarding input, not just the new one. If a user already holds a 50 000-sat boarding UTXO and receives 21 000 sats, UTXO_UPDATE carries [{value: 50000}, {value: 21000}] and the success screen shows "71 000 sats received."

The PR removes lazyBoarding: true which eliminates the startup snapshot that was causing false positives, but it does not change that real new deposits carry all UTXOs. The three tests that documented this behaviour were deleted without replacement.

Removing lazyBoarding is the right call; the sats-sum needs to be replaced with new-coin detection. The simplest fix is to track known outpoints again (or, more conservatively, subscribe to getBoardingUtxos() before listening for UTXO_UPDATE and diff the sets). Without that, the success screen will show the wrong amount any time the user has prior boarding UTXOs. No funds are at risk; this is a UX correctness issue.

src/test/screens/wallet/receive-qrcode.test.tsx: the entire describe('receive payment listener', ...) block was deleted. Cover the new simplified handler with at least one test for the new-deposit-with-prior-UTXO case.


🔵 ProbedElectrumSocket.close() docstring is now stale

src/lib/electrum.ts

/** Never closes. Closing one client flips reconnect off for every other one. */
close(): Promise<boolean> {
  return Promise.resolve(true)
}

openSocket() already gives each socket a private options object, so closing one socket no longer affects any other. The comment is the wrong reason now. The no-close behaviour may still be intentional (the provider is long-lived), but the justification should be updated so the next reader does not conclude the shared-options bug is still present.


What's correct in the new commits

  • openSocket() private-options + abandon() is the cleanest possible fix for the shared-options problem without touching the upstream library.
  • offline flag in leave() is a minimal, correct fix for the concurrent-callers problem.
  • withDeadline() adds a deterministic 10-second ceiling on every request independent of the library's internal timeout, which eliminates the original indefinite-hang class entirely.
  • isElectrumOffline predicate is now precise and correctly scoped.
  • electrumEndpoints correctly drops the non-/api Blockstream path that never answered.
  • clearCredentials() extracted in Connect.tsx and called from both handleExitComplete and the back button — the coderabbitai credential-clearing finding is resolved.
  • nostr.ts author filter is correct: adding authors: [this.pubkey] to the subscription is a legitimate server-side pre-filter; the client-side event.pubkey !== self.pubkey guard is kept as a defence-in-depth check.

2 commits since last pass (8c3e298): nostr author-filter (11ad620) + electrum probe/deadline (af16566). All 6 first-pass issues are now fixed; 1 of 2 second-pass findings still open; 1 new regression introduced.


Prior-issue close-out

✅ Fixed — #1 (🔴 ws-electrumx-client shared-options socket leak)

Fixed in af16566 via openSocket() (replaces the shared options reference on each new ElectrumWS instance) and abandon() (closes failed probes without touching any other socket). Test at lines 87–88 verifies opened[0].close was called exactly once, opened[1].close never.

✅ Fixed — #2 & #3 (🟡 isElectrumOffline over-broad; 🟡 INIT_WALLET match wrong)

Fixed in af16566. Broadcast requests are excluded first; the predicate now matches only the two ElectrumWS-specific strings. The INIT_WALLET substring is gone entirely. 'INIT_WALLET failed: Electrum is offline' still matches via 'Electrum is offline' (test at line 163 confirms).

✅ Fixed — #4 (🟡 as unknown as ElectrumWS undocumented cast)

Fixed in af16566. Comment added: "ElectrumOnchainProvider only uses request, subscribe, unsubscribe, and close on the socket (SDK 0.5.0). The cast breaks if a later SDK reads anything else."

✅ Fixed — #5 (🟠 Concurrent leave() divergence at last server)

Fixed in af16566 via the offline flag. First caller into the last-host-failed branch sets this.offline = true; all subsequent callers hit if (this.offline) return Promise.reject(new ElectrumOfflineError()) at the top. socket() resets the flag on the next invocation.

✅ Fixed — #6 (🔵 Missing singleton test for electrumProvider)

Fixed in af16566. Test re-added:

expect(electrumProvider('regtest')).toBe(electrumProvider('regtest'))
expect(electrumProvider('signet')).not.toBe(electrumProvider('regtest'))

🟡 Still open — #7 (QrCode.tsx deposits show total UTXO value, not deposit value)

src/screens/Wallet/Receive/QrCode.tsx — not touched in this increment; the UTXO-sum regression remains. A user with a 50 000-sat boarding UTXO who deposits 21 000 sats will see "71 000 sats received." Fix requires diffing known outpoints against the UTXO_UPDATE payload. The deleted describe('receive payment listener', ...) test block was not restored.

🔵 Still open — #8 (stale close() docstring)

src/lib/electrum.ts — the docstring on ProbedElectrumSocket.close() still reads "Closing one client flips reconnect off for every other one." That is no longer the reason; openSocket() already makes each socket's options private. The comment should be updated to reflect that the provider is intentionally long-lived and no close is needed.


New finding

🟡 leave() spuriously rejects with ElectrumOfflineError for late-arriving requests after a completed failover

src/lib/electrum.ts — ProbedElectrumSocket.leave(), around line 183

The changed line:

// before
if (this.active !== failed) return this.moving ?? Promise.resolve()
// after (af16566)
if (this.active !== failed) return this.moving ?? Promise.reject(new ElectrumOfflineError())

Scenario that breaks.

REQUEST_WAIT_MS = 10 s; CONNECT_WAIT_MS = 4 s.

  1. R1 starts on socket A at T₀.
  2. R2 starts on socket A at T₀ + 5 s. A is still active when socket() is called.
  3. A hangs (no immediate library rejection — that is precisely what withDeadline guards against).
  4. T₀ + 10 s: R1's deadline fires. Calls leave(A). active === A, triggers failover to B, sets this.moving.
  5. T₀ + 14 s: Failover completes. active = B, moving = undefined.
  6. T₀ + 15 s: R2's deadline fires. Calls leave(A). active (= B) !== A and moving === undefined.
    • Old code: Promise.resolve() → call() retries on B → succeeds ✅
    • New code: Promise.reject(new ElectrumOfflineError()) → user sees "Electrum is offline" even though B is working ❌

The offline flag correctly handles the case where B also fails (it is set in that branch). This case is different: B is healthy, only A has failed, yet the request is told the network is offline.

Fix: restore the original fallback for this branch:

if (this.active !== failed) return this.moving ?? Promise.resolve()

The offline flag already makes the truly-offline case consistent; Promise.resolve() here simply lets the retry pick up the already-working socket B.

Coverage gap: no test covers this timing window. A test should start two requests on a hung socket, let the first complete its failover before the second's deadline fires, and assert the second request resolves on the fallback host rather than throwing ElectrumOfflineError.


What is correct in the new commits

  • openSocket() private-options replacement is clean and minimal; it avoids touching the upstream library.
  • abandon() null-check on close guards against test fakes that omit it; the void-catch avoids unhandled-rejection noise.
  • withDeadline clears the timer in both resolve and reject paths. The timeout message contains 'ElectrumWS request timeout', matching both isElectrumOffline and isTransportFailure correctly. The hardcoded request ID: 0 is cosmetic but harmless.
  • connect() calling abandon(ws) in the catch block is the right disposal point for a failed probe.
  • Nostr author filter (authors: [this.pubkey]): save() already signs with this.seckey (deriving pubkey = this.pubkey), so the new relay-side filter matches all current saves. Old ephemeral-signed backups were already dropped by the client-side event.pubkey !== self.pubkey guard; the relay filter achieves the same exclusion without a behaviour change. New test captures the subscription filter and asserts the correct shape. ✅
  • clearCredentials() extracted in Connect.tsx and called from both handleExitComplete and the back-button callback — credentials are now cleared on every exit path from the error screen. ✅
