daemon: reset CURRENT_WALLET if the wallet gets deleted
Set SimpleConfig.CURRENT_WALLET = None if the wallet gets deleted,
otherwise we try to open it on the next startup which will show an error
message in QML.
What changed, and why it matters
This is a small bug-fix patch. When a user deletes a wallet, Electrum now clears its 'remembered last wallet' setting so the app doesn't try to reopen the deleted wallet on next launch and show an error message. It is a user-experience fix, not a security vulnerability.
No security action required; treat as routine bug fix.
Security signals we found
No security-relevant signals detected
Change addresses a stale-config UX issue, not a vulnerability
Evidence from the diff
In electrum/daemon.py, the wallet deletion method now sets self.config.CURRENT_WALLET to None when the deleted wallet path matches the currently remembered wallet. This prevents the QML GUI from attempting to load a non-existent wallet at startup. The change is purely defensive against a stale configuration value.
