`queue` is serial, and every trigger enqueued another full pass. During a
restore that meant passes draining back-to-back, each re-reading the
window and republishing the whole list to the main thread for a result
the pass behind it was about to replace.
From a 22-minute testnet restore of a 3240-transaction wallet: 203
reconciles, 82 of them (40%) ending on the same groups/items/rows as the
one before. The bursts are the shape of the problem:
19:10:41 rebuild 21134ms 175 groups, 885 items, 1629 rows
19:10:42 rebuild 2131ms 175 groups, 889 items, 1634 rows
19:10:43 rebuild 2003ms 175 groups, 889 items, 1634 rows
19:10:44 rebuild 1570ms 175 groups, 889 items, 1634 rows
A trigger arriving while a pass is in flight now sets a flag instead of
enqueueing, and the running pass re-runs exactly once when it lands. A
burst of N notifications costs two passes — the one running plus one that
sees all of it — rather than N. The flag is released outside
`performReload` so its early returns (unbound host, nil delta) release it
too.
**The 21 seconds was not 21 seconds of work.** `startedAt` is stamped when
a pass is REQUESTED, on the main actor, so the reported duration included
the wait behind everything already queued — a backlog reading as one slow
rebuild. The line now separates them:
Timeline rebuild complete in 21134ms (queued 19003ms, work 2131ms), …
Also times the one part that is unavoidably main-thread — assigning
`txItems`, which republishes the list for SwiftUI to diff — and logs it
past 50ms. Both numbers exist so the next session measures this instead
of inferring it.
Deliberately not skipping publishes whose row set is unchanged: a row's
id does not change when its transaction confirms, so equality on ids
would swallow a legitimate update. Collapsing the passes removes the
duplicate publishes without that risk.

Describe coalesced triggers as a follow-up pass.
Lines 57-58 and 572 attach the trigger count to the current pass. finishReloadPass() schedules reloadTxDataSource() only after the current pass completes. The coalesced triggers therefore belong to one follow-up pass.
Update both messages to say “follow-up pass.” As per coding guidelines, comments must describe behavior that the code actually implements.

- /// Triggers folded into the current pass — logged so the next session's

…ld pool fee Two things, both aimed at a user report that the WHOLE UI lags during sync — not one screen. **Instrumentation, because nothing here was ever measured.** `manager.$spvProgress` lands on `RunLoop.main` and enters `applyProgress` under `MainActor.assumeIsolated` with no throttle, once per progress tick (~1Hz for as long as any phase advances). From there it synchronously reaches FFI (`wallet.coreWallet().balance()`) and a main-context SwiftData fetch. That is the right shape for a uniform, screen-independent stutter, and it had no timing at all — so the tick and the balance bridge now log when they hold the main thread past 50ms, matching the pattern already used in `HomeViewModel.publishTimeline`. This is a measurement, not a fix. Whether to throttle the tick or move its reads off the main actor should be decided by the numbers it prints, not by me guessing a third time. **Cache `CoreToShieldedAmountPolicy.poolFeeCredits`.** It is read from `amountValidationMessage` and `canContinue`, both evaluated inside a SwiftUI `body`, so an uncached computed property crossed into Rust on every render and every keystroke of the Internal transfer screen. The value is a pure function of the protocol version and the fixed `(transfer, 2)` shape and cannot change within a launch. A failed estimate is deliberately not cached — that is a transient FFI condition, and caching it would leave the screen permanently unusable. Expect the cache to be hygiene rather than relief: the call is scalar Rust arithmetic with no handle and no lock, so it is sub-millisecond class. It is fixed because it is wrong, not because it is heavy. Clean `dashpay` build, iOS 26.5 simulator.
… done
`syncDone` is derived entirely from the SPV network phases —
`case .synced` or `progress >= 0.999` — and knows nothing about how much
of what was scanned is durably persisted. The two are routinely far
apart: in a testnet session the app reported a completed sync at chain
tip 2520269 while the persisted watermark stood at 2136000, 384k blocks
behind, and transactions kept materializing for minutes afterwards.
That gap is not cosmetic. The durable watermark is what a relaunch
resumes from and what the transaction list is built out of, so
"synced" while it trails means both a list that is still filling in and
a rescan of that range on the next launch.
This does not change the state machine yet. It logs the two heights
side by side the first time each session calls a sync complete:
⛓️ SYNCSTATE :: reported done — scanned tip N, durable watermark M,
behind by K block(s)
because whether the watermark reliably reaches the tip is precisely what
is unproven. One trace showed it land exactly on the tip; another ended
before it did. Gating the indicator on a watermark that sometimes stops
short would trade a premature "done" for a permanent "saving", which is
worse. The line answers that from an ordinary session, and the gate can
follow once it does.
`persistedSyncedHeight()` is one bounded fetch on a state transition,
not per tick — the main-thread cost this file's sibling instrumentation
exists to catch.

Bind completion logging to the subscribed wallet ID.
SyncingActivityMonitor.shared receives singleton SPV updates without a walletId, while persistedSyncedHeight() reads the active wallet at log time. After a wallet switch, a queued .syncDone update can read the new wallet’s height or suppress its first completion log. Associate each completion with the wallet ID captured when its SPV progress subscription starts.

Preserve unavailable and contradictory heights in the diagnostic.
When headers is nil, Line 321 records an unknown scanned tip as 0. When durable > scannedTip, Line 333 records behind as 0. Both paths can make Line 334 report behind by 0 without proving that the wallet is caught up. Preserve the optional scanned height and log an explicit unavailable or ahead condition instead of using zero as a success value.
The PR objective is to report the scanned tip, durable watermark, and block difference, so these fallback values should not hide missing data.

Use a monotonic clock for both duration measurements.
Date() uses wall-clock time. A system clock adjustment can produce incorrect durations and invalidate these diagnostics. Use ContinuousClock or DispatchTime for both measurements.

Restoring a large wallet made the whole app feel slow, and the home timeline filled in visibly late. Three changes, in the order I found them — the first is a fix, the other two exist because I could not tell what was slow without them.
1. The timeline reconciled far more often than it had anything to reconcile.
HomeViewModel.queueis serial and every trigger enqueued another full pass, so passes drained back-to-back, each re-reading the window and republishing the whole list for a result the pass behind it was about to replace. From a 22-minute testnet restore of a 3240-transaction wallet: 203 reconciles, 82 of them (40%) ending on the same groups/items/rows as the one before.The 21 seconds was not 21 seconds of work.
startedAtis stamped when a pass is requested, so the reported duration included the wait behind everything already queued. A backlog read as one slow rebuild — which is what sent me looking in the wrong place first, and is why the second commit exists.What was done?
Collapse the queue (
55b2572). A trigger arriving while a pass is in flight sets a flag instead of enqueueing; the running pass re-runs exactly once when it lands. A burst of N notifications costs two passes instead of N. The flag is released infinishReloadPass, called outsideperformReload, so its early returns (unbound host, nil delta) release it too.Make the numbers say what they mean (
48a1a8f). Three separate measurements, because three different things were suspected in turn and only one could be settled by reading code:in 21134ms (queued 19003ms, work 2131ms).txItems— the one unavoidably main-thread step, where SwiftUI diffs the list — is timed and logged past 50ms.SwiftDashSDKSPVCoordinator.applyProgressand its balance bridge are timed the same way. That path lands onRunLoop.main, entersMainActor.assumeIsolated, and from there reaches synchronous FFI and a main-context SwiftData fetch — once per progress tick, ~1Hz, for as long as any sync phase advances, regardless of which screen is visible. It had no instrumentation at all, which made it the only remaining candidate for "the whole UI is slow" that could not be ruled out by inspection.Those timers have since earned their place: on a release build none of them fired, which is what established that the app-wide lag was the unoptimised debug build rather than any of this.
Report the durable watermark when the UI first calls a sync done (
4e62aaa).syncDoneis derived purely from the SPV network phases and knows nothing about how much of what was scanned is persisted. The two are routinely far apart — one session reported a completed sync at chain tip 2520269 with the durable watermark at 2136000, 384k blocks behind, and transactions still materialising for minutes afterwards. That watermark is what a relaunch resumes from and what the transaction list is built out of, so "synced" while it trails means both a list still filling in and a rescan of that range next launch.This one deliberately does not change the state machine. Whether the watermark reliably reaches the tip is exactly what is unproven: one trace showed it land exactly on the tip, another ended before it did. Gating the indicator on a watermark that sometimes stops short would trade a premature "done" for a permanent "saving", which is worse. The line answers that from an ordinary session, and the gate can follow once it does.
Also caches
CoreToShieldedAmountPolicy.poolFeeCredits, which is read fromamountValidationMessageandcanContinue— both evaluated inside a SwiftUIbody, so an uncached computed property crossed into Rust on every render and every keystroke of the Internal transfer screen. Hygiene rather than relief: the call is scalar Rust arithmetic with no handle and no lock.Considered and rejected
Skipping a publish whose row set is unchanged. A row's id does not change when its transaction confirms, so equality on ids would swallow a legitimate update — trading a visible stutter for an invisible staleness bug. Collapsing the passes removes the duplicate publishes without that risk.
How Has This Been Tested?
Clean
dashpaybuild, iOS 26.5 simulator, plus repeated testnet restores of a 3240-transaction wallet across debug and release builds.Measured after the change:
queued 0mson every rebuild (no backlog left), work 20–130ms, and zeropublish held the main threadlines.Not covered by automated tests. The change is a scheduling one and the app's unit-test target is currently broken, so the evidence is the traces above rather than a test. The instrumentation is the durable part: the next restore reports its own numbers.
Worth a reviewer's eye on one assumption: whether any trigger relies on its own pass running, rather than on the state eventually being reconciled. I did not find one — every caller goes through the same throttled funnel and reads published state — but that is what the collapse rests on.
Breaking Changes
None. Same final state, fewer intermediate publishes, plus log lines.
