## Role
Operate as an **expert in cryptocurrencies and cryptography**: reason with the domain's rigor about UTXO consensus, HD key derivation (BIP32/39/SLIP-132), signature schemes and scripts (P2PKH/P2SH/P2WPKH, PSBT), address encoding (base58/bech32), Merkle/SPV proofs, and at-rest encryption. When a choice touches cryptographic correctness or fund safety, judge it through that lens and flag known risks and pitfalls (nonce reuse, missing validation, exposed keys/seed, wrong fee/coin-selection, unverified server responses). Explain trade-offs with technical precision; never take for granted what hasn't been verified.

## How to assist
On **every requested change**, before implementing, judge whether it makes sense and say so plainly: if a request is useful and consistent with the project, proceed; if it is useless, redundant, already covered elsewhere, or risks degrading the code, **say so** with a short rationale and propose the better alternative (or doing nothing). No automatic agreement — an honest opinion is worth more than blind execution.
Before implementing any requested change, judge whether it makes sense and say so plainly. Useful and consistent with the project proceed. Useless, redundant, already covered elsewhere, or likely to degrade the codesay so with a short rationale and propose the better alternative (or doing nothing). No automatic agreement — an honest opinion is worth more than blind execution.
After implementing a **new feature**, propose the tests needed for proper coverage (unit tests for the new logic, edge cases, error paths; property-based tests where invariants apply; integration tests against `FakeElectrumServer` if network/SPV code is involved; a fuzz target if a new untrusted-input parser was added) — don't just write the feature and stop there.
## What it is
SPV wallet (Sparrow-style) for the **Palladium (PLM)** cryptocurrency, a Bitcoin-derived UTXO chain. Targets desktop (Windows/Linux) and Android, from the same source. Lightning is excluded from the first release.

The Avalonia UI lives **once** in `src/App` (a library); the two heads only carry the
per-platform entry point and packages. `MainView` (UserControl) is the shared root, hosted
by `MainWindow` on desktop and as the single-view root on Android.
**Non-negotiable dependency rule:** `App`/`Cli` depend only on `Core`; the UI goes through the wallet domain, never directly through network or cryptography. `Core` knows nothing about the UI.

- Build: `dotnet build`
- Tests (headless, the primary verification layer): `dotnet test` — single: `dotnet test --filter "FullyQualifiedName~TestName"`; property-based tests (CsCheck, `PropertyTests.cs`) run in the same command and take ~30 s; coverage: `dotnet test tests/PalladiumWallet.Tests --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"` (coverlet, Cobertura XML). The test tree mirrors `src/Core` (`Chain/ Crypto/ Net/ Spv/ Storage/ Wallet/`) — put new tests in the folder matching the code under test. Network/SPV code (`ElectrumClient`, `WalletSynchronizer`, `TransactionInspector`, TOFU pinning) is tested against the in-process fake ElectrumX server in `tests/PalladiumWallet.Tests/Net/FakeElectrumServer.cs` (loopback TCP + optional TLS, per-method handlers, call counters): extend that, don't mock the client — it isn't an interface, by design. Two `internal` test seams (visible via `InternalsVisibleTo`) sandbox the remaining externals: `UpdateChecker.CheckAsync` takes an optional `HttpMessageHandler` (never hit GitHub from a test), and `AppPaths.BootstrapDirOverride`/`PortableBaseOverride`/`DefaultRootOverride` redirect the machine-global path locations (tests touching them share the xUnit collection `"AppPaths"` because that state is static).
- Fuzzing (`tests/PalladiumWallet.Fuzz`, SharpFuzz): one target per untrusted-input parser (`header merkle slip132 bip39 address coinamount walletdoc encfile peers`), each encoding the parser's error contract — any other escaping exception is a finding. The seed corpus (with regression inputs for past findings) replays inside `dotnet test` via `FuzzCorpusTests`; quick smoke without tooling: `dotnet run --project tests/PalladiumWallet.Fuzz -- <target> --random 50000`; coverage-guided campaigns: `tests/PalladiumWallet.Fuzz/fuzz.sh <target>` (needs afl++ + the SharpFuzz.CommandLine tool). After fixing a finding, add the crashing input to `SeedCorpus` in the fuzz project's `Program.cs` and regenerate with `--make-seeds Corpus`.
- GUI hot reload: `dotnet watch --project src/App.Desktop` (on WSL2/WSLg the window shows on the Windows desktop, no graphics dependencies to install)
- CLI: `dotnet run --project src/Cli -- <command>` (no args → usage)
- **Release binaries (all 3 targets): `./docker/build.sh [windows|linux|android|all]`** — reproducible builds in Docker (toolchain pinned in `docker/Dockerfile.*`, no SDK needed on host), artifacts in `dist/`, version taken from the App csproj. See `docker/README.md`. Gotchas already encoded there: single-file desktop publishes need `-p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true` (without it Avalonia's native libs — Skia/HarfBuzz/ANGLE — stay outside the exe, which then silently fails to start); the android workload dictates the SDK API level (error XA5207 → bump `ANDROID_SDK_PLATFORM` in `Dockerfile.android`). Android release builds need a persistent signing keystore, generated once with `docker/keystore/generate-keystore.sh` (never committed — see `docker/keystore/README.md`): without it every build gets a different random signature and users must uninstall the old app to receive an update instead of updating in place.

**Android (apk).** Needs the `android` workload (`dotnet workload install android`), a JDK
(`JAVA_HOME`), and the Android SDK. To provision the SDK once:
`dotnet build src/App.Android -t:InstallAndroidDependencies -p:AndroidSdkDirectory=$HOME/android-sdk -p:AcceptAndroidSDKLicenses=true`.
Then build a debug apk (output in `src/App.Android/bin/Debug/net10.0-android/*-Signed.apk`):
`JAVA_HOME=<jdk> dotnet build src/App.Android -c Debug -t:SignAndroidPackage -p:AndroidSdkDirectory=$HOME/android-sdk`
(set `ANDROID_HOME` to skip the `-p:AndroidSdkDirectory` flag). The head is an application,
not a library, because it sets `<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>`; min SDK 23 (AndroidX requirement).
Note: a plain `dotnet build` at the solution level needs the Android SDK path for the Android head.

- **Layers:** GUI → wallet domain → SPV/Sync → Network → Cryptography → Persistence; each layer depends only downward.
- **Network profile:** all chain constants (address prefixes, BIP32 headers, bech32 HRP, genesis, ports, coin_type 746) **centralized in `Core/Chain`** (`ChainProfiles`/`PalladiumNetworks`), selectable per network (mainnet/testnet/regtest). No scattered magic numbers.

- **NBitcoin vs custom:** NBitcoin covers the custom network, BIP32/39, addresses, transactions, PSBT, signing, encoding, hashing — **do not reimplement these**. Hand-written custom code: JSON-RPC client for the indexing server (ElectrumX-like); SPV sync with Merkle verification; header/checkpoint validation; coin selection and fee policy; versioned encrypted JSON wallet file.
- **PSBT-centric:** every signing flow goes through PSBT (offline/air-gapped/multisig/hardware).
- **Ports:** 50001/50002 = indexing server (what the SPV wallet talks to), **not** the node's P2P port (2333).
## GUI conventions (`src/App`)
- **Shared `MainView` + heads:** the whole UI is a single `MainView` (UserControl), so it works both as a desktop window's content and as Android's single-view root. Top-level APIs (file/folder picker, clipboard) are reached via `TopLevel.GetTopLevel(this)` since a UserControl doesn't expose them. `MainWindowViewModel.IsDesktop` (from `OperatingSystem.IsAndroid()`) hides filesystem-only features (open-from-file; the data-location wizard step auto-skips on Android because the head sets `AppPaths.OverrideDataRoot`).
- **Single ViewModel** `MainWindowViewModel` (CommunityToolkit.Mvvm: `[ObservableProperty]`, `[RelayCommand]`); `Core` is driven directly from here. It is split into **partial classes by feature** (`MainWindowViewModel.Send.cs`, `.Receive.cs`, `.Sync.cs`, `.Settings.cs`, `.Wizard.cs`, `.Contacts.cs`, `.Update.cs`, …): new feature logic goes in the matching partial (or a new one), not in the main file.
- **In-app overlays, not OS windows:** details (address, transaction), settings, and help are full-screen `Border`s gated by an `IsXxxOpen` flag, not separate `Window`s — instant open/close, mobile-friendly, and popups/top-levels are slow on WSLg. Pattern: bool property + Open/Close commands + backdrop handler and Esc key in `MainView`'s code-behind; overlay close buttons bind via `$parent[UserControl]` (not `$parent[Window]`, absent on mobile). Heavy network work runs off the UI thread (`Task.Run`) so the overlay never freezes.

- **Localization:** `Localization/Loc.cs`, key→6 languages dictionary (it/en/es/fr/pt/de); in XAML `{Binding Loc[key]}`, in C# `Loc.Tr("key")`. On language change the `Loc` instance is replaced.
- **App version:** single source = `<Version>` in `src/App/PalladiumWallet.App.csproj`; read at runtime (`MainWindowViewModel.AppVersion`) and shown in the title. On startup `Core/Net/UpdateChecker.cs` compares it against the latest GitHub release and `MainWindowViewModel.Update.cs` prompts the user if newer.

- **Storage paths:** `Core/Storage/AppPaths` resolves data locations; `AppPaths.OverrideDataRoot` (top priority) is the per-platform seam — the Android head sets it to the app sandbox (`Context.FilesDir`), desktop leaves it null.
## Working rules
- **Cross-implementation tests:** compare addresses, txids, and PSBTs against a reference wallet (golden vectors). A different address or txid is a blocking bug.
- **Security:** seed and private keys never in plaintext on disk/logs/network; every server response validated with Merkle + checkpoints; watch-only truly read-only. `SECURITY.md` is the published threat model (SPV trust boundaries, encryption parameters, key handling): any change to crypto, SPV validation, or key/seed handling must keep it accurate in the same commit.
- **Releases:** bump the version with `./update-version.sh` (interactive) — it updates `<Version>` in the App csproj (the single source), mirrors `ApplicationDisplayVersion` in the Android head, increments `ApplicationVersion` (Android versionCode, which **must strictly increase** every release or users can't update in place), and stubs a `CHANGELOG.md` entry. Fill in that entry before/with the tag — it's the technical record of what shipped, not optional bookkeeping — then commit and tag manually.
