Issue being fixed or feature implemented

CoinJoin DSA admission validates a request outside the session lock. While that validation runs, the scheduler can reset or advance the session, allowing the request to be committed against state different from the state that was validated. The queue-ready transition also previously raced admission.

What was done?

  • Snapshot the active session identity and denomination under cs_coinjoin.
  • Perform the expensive collateral validation without holding the session lock.
  • Reacquire the lock and require the same queue session, denomination, and available capacity before committing the collateral.
  • Make the queue-to-entry transition atomic with DSA admission.
  • Protect the remaining DSA reads of the collateral vector and readiness predicate.

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Built test/test_dash with depends on macOS arm64 using --enable-debug --enable-werror.
  • Ran coinjoin_inouts_tests (8 cases).
  • Ran coinjoin_tests (12 cases).
  • Ran the whitespace and logging linters.

Breaking Changes

None.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

CoinJoin server session readiness and collateral checks now use cs_coinjoin. Queue completion captures session data and changes state under the lock before creating and relaying the ready queue outside the lock. Existing-session admission validates a session snapshot, then revalidates session identity, denomination, state, and capacity before committing collateral.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 3f4ea

The change prevents CoinJoin requests from being committed against a reset or advanced session. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness that focused race-condition regression tests should be added; no concrete merge-blocking failure is identified.

Add deterministic tests for the new session synchronization invariants.

This diff changes queue completion and admission interleavings, but it includes no targeted C++ test changes.

  • src/coinjoin/server.cpp#L544-L560: Add a test that concurrent completion checks produce one queue transition and reject further queue-mode admissions after the state changes.
  • src/coinjoin/server.cpp#L816-L853: Add a controlled interleaving that changes or resets the session after the snapshot, then assert that the stale admission does not commit collateral.

As per coding guidelines, “Choose and add targeted C++ unit tests for changed behavior.”

This is a fair testing concern, but the proposed deterministic interleavings would require adding production-visible test seams or blocking hooks inside private admission methods. That scaffolding would be substantially larger than this synchronization fix and would make the PR harder to review.

I verified the affected paths with the existing CoinJoin unit suites, a debug/werror build, and the repository's TSAN CI configuration. I’m keeping this PR focused on the lock/snapshot invariant; a reusable concurrency test harness would be better introduced separately if maintainers want one.

@PastaPastaPasta, thanks for the detailed scope assessment.

The current validation gives useful coverage, but it does not prove the specific admission interleavings. I agree that production-visible hooks would be disproportionate for this focused synchronization change.

Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue for a reusable CoinJoin concurrency test harness? The issue can define deterministic coverage for queue completion and stale admission snapshots without expanding this PR.

Final validation — Codex/Sol only (Phase 2 disabled)

The lock/snapshot/revalidation sequence appears correct, and no blocking defect was identified. The race-prevention behavior has no targeted regression coverage, so deterministic tests remain an in-scope suggestion.
Source: reviewer backend model gpt-5.6-sol; final verifier backend model gpt-5.6-sol. Orchestration-only: openclaw-agent/cliproxy/gpt-5.6-sol.

Validated zero-blocker Codex/Sol precheck evidence was promoted to final because Phase 2 (Sonnet/Opus) is temporarily disabled. This is Codex/Sol-only final validation, not Codex + Sonnet/Opus coverage.

Review provenance

  • Codex reviewers: gpt-5.6-sol — general (completed)
  • Verifier: gpt-5.6-sol — verifier
  • Sonnet/Opus: not run (Phase 2 disabled — temporary Codex/Sol-only final)
  • Secondary pass: disabled (temporary_phase2_sonnet_disable)

- [SUGGESTION] src/coinjoin/server.cpp:846-853: Add regression coverage for DSA session revalidation
  This synchronization fix adds session identity, denomination, state, readiness, and capacity invariants, but the PR does not add tests that exercise the relevant interleavings. Existing CoinJoin tests do not call `AddUserToExistingSession` or prove that admission cannot commit after a session reset, queue transition, or competing admission fills the final slot. Add deterministic server tests that pause admission after the initial snapshot, mutate or advance the session, resume validation, and verify that no collateral is committed; also verify that concurrent completion checks produce only one queue transition and that racing admissions cannot overfill the session.
