Task

wallet_reset_coin_db computed its own now_ms inline from SystemTime::now()
(crates/dig-node-service/src/control.rs, now moved a few lines by the merge) instead of
routing through ClockGovernor (#532/PR #539), so a wall-clock jump mid-reset was evaluated
against an undisciplined reading — the #348/#497 double-spend direction: a still-live
reservation reads as already-expired and wallet_reset_coin_db bypasses the
SpendInFlight refusal.

Closes #541

Status: DRAFT — depends on unmerged PR #539

This branch merges in loop/532-clock-jump-monotonic (PR #539, still open) to get
ClockGovernor/reservation_now_ms, which this fix depends on and which #539's own lane
correctly declined to widen into this crate boundary. This PR must be rebased onto main
once #539 merges
(a merge, not a rebase — see the standing rule in this repo about
git rebase silently dropping a patch that already merged).

What changed

  • WalletBackend::reservation_now_ms() (in dig-wallet) is now pub — it needs to be
    callable from dig-node-service, a different crate.
  • wallet_reset_coin_db now reads its now_ms from ctx.wallet.reservation_now_ms()
    instead of a fresh SystemTime::now() read, sharing the same ClockGovernor clamp state
    every other reservation call site (reserve_coins, prune_reservations) already uses.
  • SPEC.md's control.wallet.resetCoinDb entry now states explicitly that its clock MUST
    be the same disciplined timeline, not an independent read.
  • A new test (sage::rpc::tests::reset_coin_db_now_must_come_from_the_disciplined_clock_not_a_fresh_read)
    built from a real reserve_coins call (not a hand-placed row, per fix(wallet): bound a reservation deadline by the observing clock, not only by the first push's #528's own lesson)
    demonstrates the decision point both ways: the disciplined clock still refuses
    (SpendInFlight) seconds after a 60s hold is taken even after a 2-minute wall-clock jump,
    while an undisciplined jumped reading incorrectly permits the reset — proving why the
    control-plane call site must use the disciplined one.
  • Swept every reservation-touching path (prune_reservations, reserve_client_coins,
    reserve_spend, reset_chain_cache callers) in both crates for a direct
    SystemTime::now() read; this was the only production one.

Verification

Do not merge, do not undraft — waiting on #539.

Reservation deadlines (#502/#525/#528) are anchored entirely on wall-clock
readings. #528 closes the case where the clock is already wrong at the
moment a reservation is FIRST written. It does not close the general form
(#532): a wall clock stepped FORWARD while a reservation is already live,
mid-hold -- an NTP step, a VM pause/resume, an operator setting the clock --
produces no self-contradiction for #528's check to catch, yet the very next
prune reads the jump as elapsed time and can retire a bundle's hold while it
is still genuinely in flight, with no bound on how far forward the step
goes (the #348/#497 double-spend direction).

Add ClockGovernor: it disciplines every reservation-lifecycle "now" reading
so it cannot advance, between two observations, faster than a monotonic
clock says real time has actually elapsed. A forward wall-clock jump is
absorbed rather than trusted and the disciplined clock simply runs behind
until real time catches up, at which point it resumes tracking the wall
clock with no special unfreeze step. A backward step is passed straight
through unclamped, since it can only lengthen a hold, never shorten one --
the safe direction #502/#528 already accept elsewhere.

The governor lives for the process's lifetime and is not persisted: a
restart re-seeds it from the wall clock at that moment, so a clock already
wrong at boot remains #528's write-time contradiction check's problem, not
this one's.

Closes #532

Root workspace version, per the main lane -- the minor field's version scheme

carry PR #539 (dig-node#532) through the version-increment gate.

Cargo.lock refreshed in the same commit (cargo update -w --offline) so
dig-node-service's locked entry matches -- every CI job runs --locked, and a

wallet_reset_coin_db read its now_ms from a fresh, undisciplined
SystemTime::now() rather than WalletBackend::reservation_now_ms(), so a
wall-clock jump mid-hold (an NTP correction, a VM pause/resume) could make
its in-flight-spend check see a still-live reservation as already expired
and let the reset proceed -- the #348/#497 double-spend direction, no
attacker required.

reservation_now_ms() is now pub so the control plane (a different crate)
can route through it, sharing the same ClockGovernor clamp state every
other reservation call site (reserve_coins, prune_reservations) already
uses.

Swept every reservation-touching path in dig-wallet and dig-node-service
for a direct SystemTime::now() read; this was the only production one.

dig-wallet: minor -- reservation_now_ms is now a public API surface
(dig-node-service routes through it, dig-node#541).
dig-node: patch -- behaviour fix, no breaking change.

Merged origin/main forward (7042f89, #535) rather than rebasing -- the queue

#543 0.254.44, #536 0.254.50, this PR 0.254.51), deliberately: #542 touches
ensure-version-increment.yml, which this PR's follow-up note also targets, so
landing last means the final shape is on main rather than guessed at.

Re-read the version from Cargo.toml on disk (not the commit log) after the
merge, per the standing caution that a rebase can silently drop a bump commit
as "already upstream" -- this was a merge, and the version file itself
confirms 0.254.51 post-bump.

#542 keeps 0.254.42 (urgent required-CI-gate PR, merges first); 0.254.43 is
reserved for #539, which this branch sits on top of. Version assignment
across concurrent PRs is the coordinator's per CLAUDE.md section 1.4.

* fix(wallet): discipline reservation liveness against a monotonic clock

Reservation deadlines (#502/#525/#528) are anchored entirely on wall-clock
readings. #528 closes the case where the clock is already wrong at the
moment a reservation is FIRST written. It does not close the general form
(#532): a wall clock stepped FORWARD while a reservation is already live,
mid-hold -- an NTP step, a VM pause/resume, an operator setting the clock --
produces no self-contradiction for #528's check to catch, yet the very next
prune reads the jump as elapsed time and can retire a bundle's hold while it
is still genuinely in flight, with no bound on how far forward the step
goes (the #348/#497 double-spend direction).

Add ClockGovernor: it disciplines every reservation-lifecycle "now" reading
so it cannot advance, between two observations, faster than a monotonic
clock says real time has actually elapsed. A forward wall-clock jump is
absorbed rather than trusted and the disciplined clock simply runs behind
until real time catches up, at which point it resumes tracking the wall
clock with no special unfreeze step. A backward step is passed straight
through unclamped, since it can only lengthen a hold, never shorten one --
the safe direction #502/#528 already accept elsewhere.

The governor lives for the process's lifetime and is not persisted: a
restart re-seeds it from the wall clock at that moment, so a clock already
wrong at boot remains #528's write-time contradiction check's problem, not
this one's.

…bump (#544)

* fix(release): guard the MSI cross-release ordering hazard at a MAJOR bump

scripts/package-version.sh's MINOR-overflow carry (#537, closing #521/#522) folds an
overflowing MINOR into the idle MSI major field and is monotonic for the whole
MAJOR==0 lifetime, but it cannot see a cross-release hazard: a carried release like
0.511.0 (MSI 1.255.0) can compare HIGHER under msiexec's numeric ordering than a
later, perfectly legal 1.0.0 (MSI 1.0.0). An in-version guard can't catch this --
1.0.0 alone is not illegal, only a specific predecessor makes it a downgrade.

Add an optional second argument, PREV_VERSION (the previous stable release's bare
X.Y.Z). When supplied, the script folds it with the same rule and refuses to emit
a version whose MSI tuple compares LOWER than PREV_VERSION's -- turning the "pick a
high-enough MAJOR-bump number" decision into a machine-checked one instead of an
unchecked human call. Omitting it (every existing package.yml callsite) is
byte-for-byte unchanged; ensure-version-increment.yml already checks out both the
PR head and main, so a follow-up can wire main's version in at zero extra cost
(sequenced separately against #542, which is adding a step to that same job).

Measured (dig-node#540): MINOR has never exceeded 255 in any released dig-node
version, so nothing shipped is affected today -- this closes the hazard before it
can ever be reached rather than reacting once it is.

Also corrects "dig_ecosystem#521/#522" references in this script/test/SPEC to
"#521/#522" -- those are dig-node's own issues, not the unrelated dig_ecosystem
tickets of the same numbers.

Revert-proof: stripping the guard reproduces the exact hazard as an accepted exit 0
(0.511.0 -> 1.0.0), and reinstating it passes the full suite (58 ok / 0 fail).

Closes #540
