Issue being fixed or feature implemented

ChainLock and InstantSend verification choose their signing quorum through SelectQuorumForSigning → ScanQuorums. Compact quorum proofs (quorumproofs.cpp) choose through SelectCommitmentForSigning → ScanCommitments. Both paths must name exactly the same quorum, but each one was a hand-maintained copy of the other:

  • The two Select* functions repeat the rotation selection (bits from selectionHash.GetUint64(3) → quorumIndex) and the non-rotation CHashWriter scoring line for line.
  • ScanCommitments (added in 02f1303) is a ~110-line clone of ScanQuorums, and the copies have already drifted. It has its own continuation lookup and lock-order comment, and its cache still uses std::map::operator[], which acd4769 removed everywhere else.

A fix that lands in only one copy would make proofs and live verification quietly disagree about the signer.

What was done?

Two refactor commits. Neither is meant to change behavior.

  1. Shared signing selection. SelectSigningCandidate is now one template over the scanned candidates and returns the chosen index. Both selectors call it. The order of the rotation check and the scan, the null start-block check (only in SelectQuorumForSigning), and the signer > size guard are all unchanged. The guard is kept as > on purpose. It is not redundant: when a scan returns fewer than signingActiveQuorumCount quorums, it can still contain a quorumIndex equal to signer > size, which the guard rejects and the find_if alone would accept.
  2. Shared scan. ScanMined<T> holds the common walk: mining-phase anchoring, cache hit/partial/miss, continuation, cache store and truncation. Each caller passes its own builder and continuation lookup, unchanged:
    • ScanQuorums still continues below the cached quorum's base block, and still bypasses the cache when scanning an explicit chain.
    • ScanCommitments still continues below the base block under rotation and below the mined block otherwise, and still does that lookup after releasing m_cs_maps.
    • scanCommitmentsCache becomes a PerLlmqTypeCache with the same per-type size.

Is the drift a bug in ScanQuorums? I checked, and no. ScanCommitments needed a "rotation-aware" continuation only because it starts from a quorum hash and must look the block up. ScanQuorums already holds m_quorum_base_block_index and always resumes below the base block, which is the behavior that comment asks for. It only dereferences a pointer there, so it never had the lock-order problem either. Without rotation, the two still differ: mined block vs base block. That cannot change results, because no same-type commitment can be mined between a quorum's base and mined heights when dkgMiningWindowEnd < dkgInterval, which holds for every non-rotating LLMQ in llmq/params.h. The difference is preserved here. A follow-up could simplify ScanCommitments to always resume from LookupBlockIndex(quorumHash).

How Has This Been Tested?

  • New check in the existing QuorumProofGenerationSetup::CreateHistory loop: at every signing height, ScanQuorums and ScanCommitments must return the same quorums for counts 1–3. Count 3 exceeds the cached set, so it exercises the partial-hit continuation. The check also runs both selectors over 64 request ids with a two-quorum pool, and they must agree. consensus_valid_envelopes_are_provable asserts that some heights really had two candidates.
  • Mutation checks, both run:
    • Making the ScanCommitments continuation return null fails the scan check.
    • Reordering the score-hash inputs in only the old duplicated SelectCommitmentForSigning (on unmodified develop) fails the selector check. Unmodified develop passes.
  • Coverage gap: the fixture is non-rotating. Rotation selection is covered for ScanQuorums by feature_llmq_rotation.py. Rotation through the commitment path has no direct test; after this PR it shares code with the quorum path.
  • Unit tests: test_dash with all llmq_* suites plus quorum_proofs_tests, evo_islock_tests and evo_assetlocks_tests, at both commits. Commit 1 was also built and tested on its own.
  • Functional tests (Linux x86_64, --enable-debug): feature_llmq_signing.py, feature_llmq_rotation.py, feature_llmq_chainlocks.py, feature_llmq_chainlocks_automatic.py, feature_llmq_is_cl_conflicts.py, feature_asset_locks.py and feature_quorum_proof_chain.py all pass. feature_llmq_signing.py --spork21 failed twice in the first -j4 batch, where the runner scheduled two copies of it. Both failures timed out in the P2P wait right after setnetworkactive(False): the isolated node already had 0 connections, but its peers still listed it as verified. That is the lingering-peer-after-disconnect symptom fix(net): stop peers lingering after disconnect under edge-triggered epoll #7951 addresses, which is still open, and it is not a quorum-selection check. 8 further runs at -j4 on the PR head all passed.
  • Static checks: clang 21 -Wthread-safety -Wthread-safety-beta on quorumsman.cpp gives no warnings.

Breaking Changes

None. This is a refactor; quorum selection results are unchanged.

Walkthrough

Quorum and commitment scans now use shared templated logic for caching, continuation, mined-item lookup, and result construction. Signing selection uses shared logic for rotating and non-rotating quorums and commitments. The quorum-proof tests compare scan results and selector choices, including cases with multiple candidate quorums.

Priority: Low

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

136-171: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Heavy lift

Add a rotating fixture to CheckSelectorsAgree.

TestingSetup(CBaseChainParams::TESTNET) uses LLMQ_50_60 for ChainLocks. That type has useRotation = false, so the test uses the non-indexed commitment scan and score-hash selector branch. Setting pool.signingActiveQuorumCount = 2 creates multiple non-rotating candidates, but does not enable rotation.

Add a focused rotating history assertion with multiple commitments from one rotation cycle. Without it, regressions in the rotating ScanCommitments path, continuation logic, or quorum-index selector can pass this test.

Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

The refactor preserves the existing quorum-selection and scan behavior, including cache handling, explicit-chain bypasses, continuation points, and rotation scoring. One non-blocking coverage gap remains: the new commitment-specific rotation continuation callback is not directly exercised; current added coverage uses a non-rotating fixture, while the rotation functional test does not call ScanCommitments. CI has no reported failures, though the slim-container manifest and arm64 build checks are still pending.

In `src/llmq/quorumsman.cpp`:
- [SUGGESTION] src/llmq/quorumsman.cpp:345-357: Add direct coverage for rotating commitment-scan continuation
  The shared scanner's commitment path still depends on a rotation-specific continuation callback: after a partial cache hit, it resumes from `last.quorumHash`, looks up that base block, and scans below it. The added `QuorumProofGenerationSetup` coverage exercises partial-cache continuation only with a non-rotating quorum, and the existing rotation functional test does not call `ScanCommitments`. Add a test using a rotating LLMQ that forces a partial-cache continuation and verifies that the returned commitments match the corresponding quorum scan; otherwise a regression in this callback could make proof selection diverge from live quorum selection without being detected.

139-168: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Assert the expected winner independently.

CheckSelectorsAgree compares two APIs that share SelectSigningCandidate. Reversing the shared score ordering can make both select the same different quorum. With two candidates, the reversal preserves the number of distinct selected candidates, so the equality and distinctness checks do not protect the established winner for each selection hash. Add a test-side assertion for the minimum score and compare both results to it. This is a test-coverage gap, not a current production failure.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

The production refactor appears behavior-preserving on source inspection, but the newly added rotating continuation test cannot construct the third cycle it requests. With the testnet parameters, CreateHistory() starts at height 904570 while the third cycle begins at 904320, so BOOST_REQUIRE(base && mined) aborts before either scan runs. Build and lint checks were still pending in the supplied CI snapshot.

  The new test requests three rotating cycles, but CreateHistory() only generates history back to checkpoint_height - 2 * quorum_params.dkgInterval. For the testnet fixture, checkpoint_height is 905146 and llmq_60_75 has a 288-block interval, so the generated chain starts at 904570.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

The refactor preserves the existing quorum and commitment scan behavior, including cache handling, explicit-chain bypass, continuation points, and shared signing selection. The added rotating commitment test directly exercises partial-cache continuation, and the fixture now explicitly generates sufficient history; the relevant CI checks are passing or still pending, with no failed code check. One non-blocking commit-history suggestion remains: squash the fixture-sizing follow-up into the rotating-scan test commit.

…mmitments

SelectQuorumForSigning and SelectCommitmentForSigning repeated the
rotation (quorumIndex from the selection hash bits) and non-rotation
(lowest CHashWriter score) selection line for line, so a change to one
could silently make ChainLock/InstantSend verification and compact
quorum proofs disagree about the signer.

Move the selection into one template over the scanned candidates that
returns the chosen index. Results are unchanged: the rotation check
still runs before the scan, the null start-block check stays in
SelectQuorumForSigning only, and the `signer > size` guard is kept as
is, since it can reject a present quorumIndex when the scan returned
fewer candidates than signingActiveQuorumCount.

The quorum proof fixture now also checks that ScanQuorums and
ScanCommitments return the same quorums and that both selectors name
the same signer over a two-quorum pool. Without the shared routine,
reordering the score hash inputs in only SelectCommitmentForSigning
makes it fail.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
ScanCommitments (02f1303) was a ~110-line copy of ScanQuorums that
differs only in what it builds per mined commitment and in how it finds
the block to continue below a partial cache hit. Copies like this
drift, and the two feed ChainLock/InstantSend verification and compact
quorum proofs, which must agree on the active quorum set.

Move the shared walk (mining-phase anchoring, cache lookup, partial
continuation, cache store, truncation) into one private ScanMined
template. Each caller passes its continuation lookup and builder
unchanged:

- ScanQuorums still continues below the cached quorum's base block, and
  still skips the cache when scanning a given chain.
- ScanCommitments still continues below the base block under rotation
  and below the mined block otherwise, and still looks that block up
  after releasing m_cs_maps. ScanQuorums only dereferences a pointer
  there, so running its continuation outside the lock changes nothing.

scanCommitmentsCache moves to PerLlmqTypeCache with the same per-type
size. It was the last LLMQ-type keyed std::map left after acd4769;
its operator[] could not create an empty cache here, because
Params().GetLLMQ() is asserted first, but the shared code now needs one
cache type.

Compact quorum proofs select through ScanCommitments. When only part of
a scan is cached, a rotating LLMQ must continue below the last cached
quorum's base block. Continuing below its mined block would revisit the
commitments of that cycle mined before it. Nothing exercised this path:
the selector checks use the non-rotating ChainLock type, and the
rotation functional test never reaches ScanCommitments.

Write three llmq_60_75 cycles into the proof fixture, with mined
heights spread over the window. Then check that a cold scan and a scan
that resumes from the keepOldConnections cached entries both return
the cycles newest first, each in quorumIndex order. Resuming below the
mined block for rotating types fails the resumed check.

CreateHistory() now reaches back as many DKG intervals as a
keepOldConnections scan of a rotating LLMQ spans, so those cycles exist
regardless of the other quorum types configured for the chain.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2

Independently reviewed the complete diff at fe1aea3 and found no actionable defects: the shared implementations preserve selection, cache, continuation, and explicit-chain behavior. The rotating-scan regression test exercises partial-cache continuation, and the fixture-history adjustment is included in the same commit. Validation was static only; the supplied exact-head CI snapshot and current PR checks show successful executed build, test, lint, and formatting jobs, and the supplied base-drift evidence reports no merge conflicts or overlapping changed files.

  • Triage: critical by gpt-6.1-sol (effort low) — The intricate refactor in src/llmq/quorumsman.cpp replaces quorum scanning and signing-quorum selection implementations used to determine the signing authority for ChainLock and InstantSend signature verification, requiring careful equivalence review despite its behavior-preserving intent.
  • Phase 1 reviewers: muse-spark-1.3-contributor — general (completed, effort xhigh); agent phase1-reviewer
  • Phase 1 model: muse-spark-1.3-contributor — not quota-gated; passed over gemini-3.8-flash-high (antigravity quota lookup failed), glm-5.3-flash (not used above high effort; tier asks max)
  • Single stage: Phase 1 and Phase 2 reviewed this head side by side, with no blocker gate between them (triage tier)
  • Fresh final gate: an independent Phase-2 review ran after iterative findings were reconciled
  • Fresh verifier: gpt-6.1-sol — final-verifier; agent sol-verifier
  • Phase 2 reviewers: gpt-6.1-sol — general (completed, effort xhigh); agent phase2-reviewer, gpt-6.1-sol — dash-core-commit-history (completed, effort xhigh); agent phase2-reviewer, gpt-6.1-sol — general (completed, effort xhigh); agent phase2-reviewer, gpt-6.1-sol — dash-core-commit-history (completed, effort xhigh); agent phase2-reviewer
