The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a UI bug in Sparrow Wallet's send form. When a payment amount was filled in automatically—such as when opening a Bitcoin payment link from another app or when triggered by a 'spend' event—the wallet did not re-run its amount checks. That meant warnings about sending too small an amount ('dust') or not having enough funds ('insufficient balance') might not appear. The fix adds a single call to revalidate the amount after auto-filling it, so the correct warnings are shown.

Recommended action

Treat as a low-severity UI/validation fix. Review whether other auto-populated fields in the send flow (e.g., address, label) are similarly revalidated, and consider adding automated tests for URI/spend-event triggered payments to ensure warnings are consistently displayed.

Security signals we found

01

Missing input validation for programmatically populated field

02

UI warning suppression for dust and insufficient-balance checks

03

External URI/spend event triggers automatic form population
