The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a display timing issue in the Sparrow bitcoin wallet. When a user makes a payment to themselves (a 'self-spend'), the wallet could briefly show an incomplete transaction notification—showing the money leaving but not the matching change coming back. The patch pre-fills internal wallet records so the first notification is complete and accurate. It is a correctness/UX fix, not a vulnerability that lets an attacker steal funds.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine bugfix/UX improvement. No urgent security action required. Reviewers may verify that the pre-populated TXOs are correctly overwritten on the next authoritative refresh and that no stale spentBy references persist.
