Summary

Three #4360 shield-preflight findings, extracted clean.

This supersedes the preflight half of closed PR #4428. #4428 bundled these three fixes with an FFI panic-abort fix; that panic work is carried independently by #4424, so #4428 was closed and only the preflight material is re-landed here. This branch does not touch runtime.rs and contains no panic/unwind changes — it is orthogonal to #4424 and the two can land in either order.

The three fixes

1. MEDIUM-HIGH — the input-0 fee reserve now scales with the admitted input count

The whole transition fee is deducted from input 0's post-reallocation residue (DeductFromInput(0)), so input 0 must retain at least the actual metered fee. That fee is the flat Orchard-bundle fee F = compute_minimum_shielded_fee(2) plus one SetBalanceToAddress address-balance write per input, which drive meters as storage. compute_minimum_shielded_fee prices none of the per-input writes, so the old flat 2 × F reserve was blind to input count and thinned as inputs grew — a 16-input Max shield fell to ~1.84× the modeled fee, landing in the estimate-vs-actual band that risks the InternalError / TxAction::Removed app-hash-divergence class (the family of the mainnet shield-halt).

shield_fee_reserve_credits(version, input_count) now computes:

reserve = F + input_count × per_input_write + 1 × F

with per_input_write priced off the same versioned per-byte storage rate the executor reads (storage_disk_usage_credit_per_byte + storage_processing_credit_per_byte) — never a hardcoded credit figure — using the reviewed SHIELDED_UNSHIELD_ADDRESS_STORAGE_BYTES address-write model. All arithmetic is checked.

At input_count == 0 this is exactly the pre-change flat 2 × F, so the change is a superset of the old behavior at the base. At the protocol-max 16 inputs the reserve stays ≈2.6×F — the old ≤ 4×F ceiling is retained as a test assertion, so an oversized reserve cannot silently understate preflight capacity and strand funds below the input-0 viability threshold after a Max shield.

The planner passes min(funded_candidates, max_address_inputs) — an upper bound on the inputs any shield from that account can use, so the reserve is sufficient for every requested amount while staying tight (no always-16 over-reservation for accounts with few funded addresses). Preflight and execution re-plan through the same helper, so they stay consistent.

Residual, flagged for review: the per-input term is an upper bound derived from an existing calibrated constant, not a re-derivation of drive's exact SetBalanceToAddress metering. SHIELDED_UNSHIELD_ADDRESS_STORAGE_BYTES sizes a new-address AddBalanceToAddress; a shield's SetBalanceToAddress reduces an existing address balance (a value replacement), which should meter no more than a fresh subtree write — so pricing every input at the new-address figure is deliberately conservative. A reviewer should confirm drive never charges more than a new-address write per input; if it can, raise the per-input byte model or SHIELD_FEE_RESERVE_HEADROOM_FEES. This is called out in the doc comment on the function, not just here.

2. MEDIUM — a strictly per-input shortfall no longer masquerades as account capacity

AddressNotEnoughFundsError is strictly per-address: balance() / required_balance() describe the one short input, not the account. Mapping it onto the account-wide PlatformShieldCapacityExceeded let a host misread that single address's available as the account maximum (understating capacity by up to the versioned input-count cap), and dropped the offending address entirely.

map_shield_input_fetch_error now maps to a distinct PlatformShieldInputShortfall { address, available, required } that restores the bech32m address in the message and keeps the per-input figures typed as per-input.

No new FFI code number. It rides the existing ErrorShieldedInsufficientBalance (41) alongside the account-capacity variant — the host's corrective action is identical (refresh preflight, retry) — so it does not collide with the in-flight code-space frontier. The disambiguation lives in the message and the wallet-side variant.

3. MEDIUM — a fragmented account reports a coherent available

select_inputs previously fell back to account_balance_credits when usable_candidates was empty. On a fragmented account (several addresses each holding exactly the reserve, none strictly above it) that reported the full account balance as available on a failed shield — which can exceed required, i.e. the self-contradictory available > required. available is now usable_balance_credits (0 when no candidate can retain the reserve), which is coherent with a nonzero required = amount + fee_reserve. The total account balance remains on the preflight snapshot (account_balance_credits) and its reason for display.

Tests

Five tests, all new or rewritten:

Test Covers
reserve_scales_with_admitted_input_count strict monotonicity in input count 0..16; exact equality to modeled_fee(16) + F from versioned constants
versioned_fee_keeps_input_zero_valid_and_reserve_tracks_the_fee input_count == 0 reproduces the old flat 2 × F; the ≤ 4×F ceiling still holds at max inputs
live_per_input_shortfall_maps_to_typed_input_shortfall_with_address per-input error maps to the distinct variant, with the bech32m address restored in the message
fragmented_account_reports_coherent_available_not_exceeding_required available == 0 < required on a fragmented account holding 3 × reserve
map_spend_result_maps_per_input_shortfall_to_same_code_with_address FFI boundary keeps code 41 (no regression to generic ErrorWalletOperation) and keeps the address in the message

Issue

Addresses the three preflight findings from #4360.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved shielded transaction balance checks by accounting for fees, input limits, and available shielding capacity.
    • Added clearer errors when a specific address lacks sufficient balance, including relevant balance details.
    • Improved error reporting for shield input retrieval failures by including network information.
    • Added safeguards for fragmented accounts and fee-reserve calculation edge cases.

Three shield-preflight fixes, extracted from the closed #4428 (which
bundled them with an FFI panic-abort fix now carried independently by
#4424). No runtime.rs / panic-unwind changes here.

1. MEDIUM-HIGH — the input-0 fee reserve now scales with the admitted
   input count. The whole transition fee is deducted from input 0's
   post-reallocation residue, and that fee is the flat Orchard-bundle fee
   F plus one metered `SetBalanceToAddress` address-balance write PER
   INPUT. `compute_minimum_shielded_fee` prices none of the per-input
   writes, so the old flat 2xF reserve was blind to input count and
   thinned as inputs grew (a 16-input Max shield fell to ~1.84x the
   modeled fee, inside the estimate-vs-actual band that risks the
   `InternalError`/`TxAction::Removed` app-hash-divergence class).
   `shield_fee_reserve_credits(version, input_count)` now returns
   `F + n x per_input_write + F`, with the per-input term priced off the
   SAME versioned per-byte storage rate the executor reads (never a
   hardcoded credit figure) via the reviewed
   `SHIELDED_UNSHIELD_ADDRESS_STORAGE_BYTES` model, all arithmetic
   checked. At n == 0 it reproduces the old flat 2xF exactly; at the
   protocol-max 16 inputs it stays within the retained <= 4xF ceiling, so
   an oversized reserve cannot silently understate preflight capacity.
   The planner passes min(funded_candidates, max_address_inputs) — an
   upper bound on the inputs any shield from that account can use — so
   the reserve is sufficient for every requested amount while staying
   tight, and preflight and execution re-plan through the same helper.

   Residual, flagged in the doc comment: the per-input term is an UPPER
   BOUND derived from the calibrated new-address write constant, NOT a
   re-derivation of drive's exact `SetBalanceToAddress` metering.

2. MEDIUM — a strictly per-input `AddressNotEnoughFundsError` no longer
   masquerades as account capacity. Its `balance()`/`required_balance()`
   describe the ONE short input; mapping them onto the account-wide
   `PlatformShieldCapacityExceeded` let a host misread that single
   address's `available` as the account maximum (understating capacity by
   up to the versioned input-count cap) and dropped the offending address
   entirely. `map_shield_input_fetch_error` now returns a distinct
   `PlatformShieldInputShortfall { address, available, required }` that
   restores the bech32m address in the message. It rides the SAME FFI
   code (41, `ErrorShieldedInsufficientBalance`) as the capacity variant —
   the host's corrective action is identical, refresh preflight and retry
   — so no new code number is minted into the in-flight code space.

3. MEDIUM — a fragmented account now reports a coherent `available`.
   `select_inputs` fell back to `account_balance_credits` when
   `usable_candidates` was empty, so a FAILED shield on a fragmented
   account reported the full account balance, which can exceed `required`
   (the self-contradictory `available > required`). It now reports
   `usable_balance_credits` (0 when no candidate can retain the reserve).
   The account total stays on the preflight snapshot for display.

Tests: reserve_scales_with_admitted_input_count,
versioned_fee_keeps_input_zero_valid_and_reserve_tracks_the_fee,
live_per_input_shortfall_maps_to_typed_input_shortfall_with_address,
fragmented_account_reports_coherent_available_not_exceeding_required,
map_spend_result_maps_per_input_shortfall_to_same_code_with_address.

Input-aware reserve and capacity planning
packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/wallet/shielded/operations.rs, packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/wallet/platform_wallet.rs
Shield reserves now scale with the admitted input count. Capacity errors report usable capacity, including fragmented-account cases.
FFI error mapping and regression coverage
packages/rs-platform-wallet-ffi/src/error.rs, packages/rs-platform-wallet-ffi/src/shielded_send.rs
The FFI maps per-input shortfalls to ErrorShieldedInsufficientBalance and preserves the detailed error message in regression tests.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3e1c3

The fee reserve can still include addresses that the shield transaction will not use, so fragmented accounts with excluded dust inputs may have valid one-input shields rejected as underfunded. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Derive the reserve from the admitted input set.

Line 1601 counts every positive-balance address. plan_shield_inputs later excludes leading non-viable addresses and sub-minimum tail addresses. The reserve can then include writes that the transition cannot contain.

For example, one address can retain the one-input reserve while fifteen dust addresses inflate reserve_input_count to the protocol cap. This rejects a shield that a one-input transition can fund. Compute a conservative fixed point from the planner-admitted candidate count, then add a regression with one viable address and enough excluded dust addresses to reach the input cap. The PR objective requires the reserve to scale with admitted inputs.
