The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a bug in Sparrow Wallet's silent-payments scanning cache. If a background scan had already finished, then a later 'widening' request to extend the scan failed and rolled back, any history request that arrived during the failed widening would wait forever instead of being told the scan was already complete. The fix makes the rollback path signal those waiting threads so the wallet history can return promptly. It is a reliability/availability bug, not a direct theft-of-funds vulnerability.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal bug-fix commit. No urgent security response is indicated, but ensure the fix is included in the next release so silent-payments wallet history remains responsive after failed scan widenings.

Security signals we found

01

Concurrency / condition-variable waiter starvation

02

Silent-payments history lookup hang / wallet UI unresponsiveness

03

Failure-recovery path missing signal on rollback
