The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a large feature update for the Skylight Monero wallet that brings in improvements from another project called Spice. It adds support for connecting directly to a full Monero node (not just a light wallet server), background and continuous syncing, a more secure clipboard for copying sensitive data, QR-code wallet restoration, and a new OpenAlias resolver. The changes are mostly defensive: they improve privacy, reduce clipboard leaks, and make transaction sending more precise. There is no clear security vulnerability introduced by the patch, but because it is a very large change touching many security-sensitive areas (wallet files, network connections, background services, and clipboard handling), it deserves careful review and testing before release.

Recommended action

Treat this as a major feature release requiring full QA. Review the new Rust OpenAlias plugin, foreground/background sync service, and full-node wallet-manager switching for logic bugs. Verify that secure-clipboard behavior works as intended on Android 13+ and iOS, that the `_node` wallet cache does not accidentally reuse or leak keys across modes, and that background sync cannot be abused to keep the wallet unlocked or expose secrets. Run static analysis on the new native code and ensure the `flutter_foreground_task` service is not exported and does not accept untrusted intents.

Security signals we found

01

New Android foreground service permissions and exported=false service declared for background sync

02

New platform secure-clipboard channel marks copied secrets as sensitive and avoids cloud/Universal Clipboard sync

03

OpenAlias resolution moved from monero_c's built-in resolver to a new Rust FFI plugin that resolves over Tor with DNSSEC validation

04

Transaction broadcast now checks both commit result and status code before reporting success

05

Amount conversion switched from double to exact decimal string parsing to reduce precision loss

06

Secret screens (seed, keys, restore) now use a SecureScreenMixin to mitigate screenshot/screen-recording leaks

07

Full-node mode introduces a second wallet cache file path (`_node` suffix) and manager factory selection logic

08

Background sync task constrained to unmetered network + charging for full-node mode
