When bwatch_got_utxo() records a wallet output, it arms an outpoint watch owned by wallet/utxo/<txid>:<outnum>. This adds the receiving end of that watch: the dispatch entry plus the found/revert handlers.
On watch_found (a tx consumed the outpoint): mark the output spent in our_outputs, store the spending tx in our_txs, and emit a withdrawal coin movement. On watch_revert (a reorg removed that tx): clear spendheight so the UTXO is spendable again.

wallet: handle reorgs for our_outputs/our_txs by hand
The legacy tables rely on their blocks(height) ON DELETE SET NULL foreign keys to mark rows unconfirmed/unspent when a block is reorged out. our_outputs/our_txs deliberately carry no blocks FK (bwatch does not maintain a blocks table), so block disconnect and rollback must demote their blockheight/spendheight fields explicitly.
Demote, never delete: a row also carries state the chain cannot re-deliver (reserved_til, onchaind close metadata), and this path runs not just on real reorgs but on every startup, when chaintopology invalidates its rescan window. Rediscovery re-promotes the row via wallet_add_our_output / wallet_transaction_add; a tx that never re-confirms just stays unconfirmed and unspendable.

wallet: read UTXO state from our_outputs
With every writer dual-writing since the previous two commits, flip the readers: all UTXO queries (listfunds, coin selection, reservations, onchaind close info) now come from our_outputs, and the legacy-only read helpers (wallet_stmt2output, gather_utxos, db_get_unspent_utxos) are deleted.
our_output_row_to_utxo replaces wallet_stmt2output, using channel_dbid to discriminate HD outputs from channel-close outputs, and wallet_get_spendable_utxos centralizes the unspent+unreserved query that wallet_find_utxo and wallet_has_funds previously duplicated.
migrate_setup_coinmoves keeps reading the legacy table directly: that migration runs at v25.09, before our_outputs exists.

The flag is registered by the bwatch plugin, not lightningd, so peek at the parsed configvars. Without it ld->watchman stays NULL and the watchman_* entry points are no-ops, leaving chain_topology as the only chain watcher: bwatch and the legacy path must not race each other.
The bwatch pytests opt in explicitly (with rescan=0) instead of enabling bwatch globally.

The old name 'b32script' suggested all change addresses were bech32 format, but the project now uses a newer address type (p2tr) by default. The developer renamed the variable to 'scriptpubkey' to avoid confusion and removed an unused header file. No behavior of the program changes.

wallet: make datastore helpers self-wrap a wallet transaction
The four wallet_datastore_{get,create,update,remove} helpers used to require the caller to be inside a wallet transaction; otherwise the underlying db_prepare_v2 fatals at db/utils.c:103 with "Attempting to prepare a db_stmt outside of a transaction".
watchman persists its pending bwatch ops through these helpers from plugin callbacks that run outside any transaction, so wrap one on demand.

init_wallet_scriptpubkey_watches walks every HD key (BIP32 + BIP86) up to {bip32,bip86}_max_index + keyscan_gap and arms a watch for each form, so bwatch can report deposits from the very first block it scans. wallet_get_newindex does the same for fresh keys, keeping coverage as the wallet grows.
The per-UTXO watch on unconfirmed change is now redundant (the perennial per-key watch already covers that scriptpubkey), so drop it.

This change makes Core Lightning register long-lasting 'watches' for all wallet deposit addresses when the node starts up, so the new bwatch plugin can spot incoming payments from the first block it scans. It also removes a now-redundant per-transaction watch on unconfirmed change outputs. The patch is a functional improvement for the experimental bwatch feature, not a clear-cut security fix, but a missing or incomplete watch could in principle cause deposits to be overlooked.
Make each existing chaintopology writer update both representations of its UTXO state:
- wallet_add_utxo and wallet_add_onchaind_utxo insert into both tables; - db_set_utxo updates reservations in both tables; - wallet_confirm_tx updates confirmation heights in both tables; and - wallet_outpoint_spend marks outputs spent in both tables.
Keeping each pair of writes in the existing helper makes the downgrade mirror explicit without duplicating SQL at its callers. Reads remain on legacy `outputs` until the following commit switches them to our_outputs.

This is a database refactoring commit in Core Lightning. It makes the wallet write UTXO (unspent transaction output) state to a new table called our_outputs in addition to the legacy outputs table, while reads still use the old table. The goal is to prepare for a future migration, not to fix an active security bug. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this change itself creates or fixes a vulnerability.
Upgrade a pre-bwatch snapshot db and check the migration mirrored outputs/transactions into our_outputs/our_txs, listfunds still reports the old UTXOs, and the wallet can receive and withdraw new funds.

Add the wallet helpers and watch handlers that turn a bwatch scriptpubkey match into our_txs and our_outputs rows. They validate the matching output, notify invoice accounting, record confirmed deposits, and install watches for later spends.
The watch_revert handler demotes the rows back to unconfirmed (the 0 sentinel) rather than deleting them: a row also carries state a rediscovery cannot restore (reserved_til, onchaind close metadata), and the still-armed watches re-promote it if the tx confirms again. This matches the legacy tables, whose blocks(height) foreign keys demote rows to NULL when the block row is removed.
Unlike got_utxo(), this path does not write transaction_annotations: nothing reads per-transaction annotations anymore, so only the legacy scanner keeps populating them (for downgrade, like the other legacy tables).
The watchman dispatch entry is wired in the following commit. Keep this path alongside got_utxo() and wallet_transaction_add(): the legacy scanner must continue populating outputs and transactions for one release so downgrades do not require a rescan.

This commit adds new wallet bookkeeping code for Core Lightning. It records Bitcoin deposits found by a new chain-watcher ('bwatch') into database tables and handles blockchain reorganizations by demoting transactions back to unconfirmed rather than deleting them. It is a feature/refactoring commit, not a fix for a known vulnerability, and the commit message does not describe any security issue.
wallet: route transaction reads/writes through our_txs
Now that the bwatch wallet path records every relevant transaction in our_txs, point the wallet's transaction readers at that table.
Since our_txs.blockheight is NOT NULL with 0 = unconfirmed, the legacy NULL handling disappears: wallet_transactions_by_height no longer needs its "IS NULL vs = ?" query split, and wallet_transaction_height reads the column unconditionally.
wallet_transaction_add keeps dual-writing the legacy transactions table: the close path still inserts into channeltxs, whose transaction_id foreign key points at transactions(id), and wallet_get_funding_spend joins it. That legacy write can only go away with channeltxs itself.

The next commits move wallet UTXO and tx tracking off chaintopology and onto bwatch. bwatch doesn't maintain a blocks table, but the legacy utxoset, transactions and channeltxs tables all have FOREIGN KEY references into blocks(height) (CASCADE / SET NULL), so we can't just retarget the existing tables.
Instead, introduce parallel tables (our_outputs, our_txs) without the blocks(height) FK. The new bwatch-driven code writes only to these, the legacy tables stay populated by the existing code path during this release so downgrade still works, and a future release can drop them once we're past the downgrade window.
Losing the FK also changes what NULL means. In the legacy tables a NULL blockheight was never written by hand: the ON DELETE SET NULL trigger produced it when a reorg deleted the block row. These tables have no such trigger, so unconfirmed is stored as blockheight 0 (NOT NULL) instead, for three reasons:
- everything feeding these tables already speaks u32-with-0: watchman notifications carry blockheight as a required JSON number, and wallet_transaction_height() has always returned 0 for unconfirmed, so values bind straight through without a NULL/non-NULL branch at every read and write site;
- integer comparisons keep working: the unconfirmed->confirmed promotion is a single "WHERE blockheight < ?" (0 sorts below any real height) and reorg rollback is "SET blockheight = 0 WHERE blockheight >= ?", where a NULL row would match neither;
- it removes the footgun the legacy code warned about ("Note: blockheight=NULL is not the same as is NULL!"), where lookups had to branch between "= ?" and "IS NULL".
The same logic gives txindex 0 = unconfirmed/unknown (a *confirmed* txindex of 0 means coinbase, which blockheight disambiguates) and reserved_til 0 = not reserved. NULL survives only where 0 is a real value or genuinely ambiguous: spendheight (NULL = unspent), channel_dbid, commitment_point.
Schema only here — wallet handlers that write into these tables and the backfill from outputs/transactions land in subsequent commits.

This commit only adds two new empty database tables (our_outputs and our_txs) to Core Lightning's wallet. It is a preparatory schema change for a future feature; no code reads from or writes to these tables yet, and no existing behavior is changed. There is no direct security vulnerability here, though any new table design could later affect how safely wallet data is tracked.
Populate our_outputs/our_txs from the legacy outputs/transactions tables so the bwatch wallet path starts with the same state as the existing wallet.
Use outputs rather than utxoset because it already contains only wallet-owned rows and carries wallet metadata like reservations and channel-close info.
Downgrade only drops the new tables: later commits keep mirroring writes into the legacy tables, so no copy-back migration is needed.
This commit adds a database migration that copies existing wallet data into new tables used by an upcoming 'bwatch' wallet component. It is a data backfill, not a code fix for an active vulnerability. The main risk is that if the migration copies data incorrectly, a future version of Core Lightning could misread the wallet state—potentially showing wrong balances, missing transactions, or in rare cases making unsafe spending decisions. The commit includes tests that check the copy logic for several common cases.
wallet: mirror bwatch writes into legacy outputs table
The bwatch path writes wallet UTXOs to our_outputs while the legacy `outputs` table is what a downgraded binary reads. Mirror every our_outputs write (insert, spend, unspend-on-spend-revert, reservation) into `outputs` so a downgrade for one release needs no copy-back or rescan. Reorg demotion needs no mirror: the legacy rows are demoted by their blocks(height) foreign keys when chaintopology removes the block. The mirroring stops in the release that removes chaintopology, freezing all the legacy tables at the same height.
The spend mirror guards its spend_height the same way the insert guards confirmation_height: outputs.spend_height has a foreign key on blocks(height), which only chaintopology populates, and bwatch can deliver the spend before chaintopology has processed that block. Record NULL in that case (status already marks the row spent) and let chaintopology's own spend pass fill in the height.
The wallet still reads from `outputs`; switching reads over to our_outputs comes next.

This change is a behind-the-scenes bookkeeping patch for Core Lightning's wallet database. The project is moving to a new table (`our_outputs`) for tracking spendable coins, but older versions of the software still read from the old table (`outputs`). The patch copies every new-table write back into the old table so that if a user downgrades to the previous release, their wallet still sees the correct coins and balances. It is not a fix for an externally exploitable bug; it is a compatibility/migration safeguard.

pyln-testing: wait for listen port release before starting a node
A node's connectd is a separate process holding the listen socket, and on shutdown it exits on its own schedule after lightningd itself is gone -- under valgrind, its teardown can lag by tens of seconds. If a test restarts the node in that window, the new connectd fails with 'Address already in use', lightningd exits, and the test times out waiting for 'Server started with public key'. Seen in CI in test_emergencyrecoverpenaltytxn, where the port was still held 37 seconds after the old connectd began shutting down.
The filesystem port locks don't cover this: they keep other workers from reserving the port, but the restarting node owns its reservation both times; nothing waits for the old connectd to actually release the socket.
Before launching lightningd, bind-probe the node's port (with SO_REUSEADDR, matching connectd, so TIME_WAIT sockets don't count as in use) and only proceed once the bind succeeds.

wallet: Update the max_index cache when issuing new addresses
The write-through cache added for the address max_index was only kept in sync in wallet_can_spend(). wallet_get_newindex() still read and wrote the bip32_max_index/bip86_max_index db vars directly, leaving the in-memory cache stale after every newaddr. Since listaddresses and the rescan window now read from that cache, freshly issued addresses were invisible until the next restart (and wallet_can_spend could even write a stale, lower value back to the db).
Route all reads and writes through wallet_max_addr_index() and wallet_set_max_addr_index() so the cache and the db never diverge.

This commit fixes a bug where Core Lightning's in-memory record of the highest address index could fall out of step with the database. When a user generated a new on-chain address, the code updated the database directly but left the cached value unchanged. That meant newly created addresses would not show up in address lists or rescan windows until the node was restarted, and in some cases the stale cache could overwrite the newer database value with an older one. The patch routes all reads and writes through helper functions so the cache and database stay synchronized.
