The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a resource-leak bug in Sparrow Wallet's transaction list. Previously, every temporary transaction object automatically subscribed to blockchain-tip updates when it was created, and many of those temporary objects were never unsubscribed. Over time this left stale 'listeners' piling up in memory, which could slow the wallet down, waste resources, and potentially cause confusing display updates. The change makes subscription explicit: only transaction entries that are actually shown in the wallet's transaction list are registered for updates, and they are cleanly unregistered when removed, when history is cleared, or when a wallet tab is closed.

Recommended action

Treat as a reliability/resource-management fix. Review whether any other model objects auto-register in constructors and could leak similarly. No immediate exploit mitigation required, but users on long-running wallets should upgrade to avoid memory pressure and stale UI updates.

Security signals we found

01

Resource leak / listener accumulation in event bus

02

Potential stale-object memory retention

03

Risk of incorrect UI state updates from orphaned subscribers

04

Lifecycle mismatch between model objects and event subscriptions
