The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes several bugs in Stack Wallet's backup restore flow. The most notable change is that retrying a failed wallet restore now properly re-initializes the wallet (including opening it for Cryptonote-based coins like Monero) before attempting recovery, instead of calling recover() on a wallet that may not be ready. It also moves an Android file-write operation to a background isolate to avoid blocking the user interface, and makes a wallet ID lookup more forgiving when a backed-up wallet no longer exists.

Recommended action

Treat this as a routine bug-fix patch with possible reliability/security side effects. Review the new _retry() flow to confirm wallet.exit() is always called on error paths (currently it is not, which may leave wallet resources open). Consider adding automated tests for failed-restore retry scenarios for Monero/Wownero/Cryptonote wallets. No immediate security response is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

Fixes backup restore retry path that previously could operate on an uninitialized wallet object

02

Adds proper wallet lifecycle management (init/open/exit) before recovery operations

03

Moves blocking I/O to a background isolate, reducing UI freeze and potential user-induced corruption

04

Adds defensive null fallback for wallet ID remapping during backup restoration
