The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes bookkeeping bugs in how Sparrow Wallet tracks Bitcoin transactions when they move around in a block or sit unconfirmed. Before the fix, the wallet could report the same transaction as a new 'update' every time it was polled, even though nothing had changed. In rare cases after a blockchain reorganization, a transaction that changed position in a block might not be recorded correctly, or two transactions sharing the same temporary position could be handled wrong. The patch makes the wallet store entries more carefully and adds tests for these scenarios. There is no direct evidence this is exploitable by an attacker, but it could cause incorrect wallet state or missed notifications.

Recommended action

Review the comparator contract for consistency with equals/hashCode and ensure the new tests pass. Monitor for any follow-up fixes related to reorg handling. No urgent security deployment is indicated, but the fix should be included in the next release because it prevents incorrect wallet state and notification spam.

Security signals we found

01

Incorrect state tracking after blockchain reorganization

02

Duplicate/missing transaction entries due to comparator/Set semantics

03

Unconfirmed transactions repeatedly reported as updates
