Send/Donate/Sync/Wizard view models wrote status/error strings
directly in Italian ("Importo non valido.", "Errore: …", the TLS
pin-mismatch message, …), so a user running the app in English/German/
etc. still saw them in Italian despite the 6-language Loc system
covering the rest of the UI.
Added the missing Loc keys and routed every occurrence through
Loc.Tr(...). CertificatePinMismatchException (Core) no longer bakes an
Italian message into .Message; it now exposes Host/Port so the UI can
translate it, with an English fallback for any exception type the UI
doesn't specifically handle. Also drops the now-stale USERGUIDE.md
caveat about a few messages staying in Italian regardless of language.
Real loopback TCP socket speaking newline-delimited JSON-RPC 2.0, optionally
TLS with a self-signed certificate, with per-method handlers and call
counters. Lets ElectrumClient, WalletSynchronizer, TransactionInspector, and
CertificatePinStore be exercised against the same code paths used in
production instead of being mocked.
Also exposes UpdateChecker's tag-parsing logic internally so its version
comparison can be tested without a real GitHub API call.
CertificatePinStore.Load threw on a corrupted pin file, blocking every SSL
connection until the user manually deleted it; EncryptedFile.IsEncrypted
threw on valid JSON with a non-object root or invalid UTF-16 instead of
returning false. Both now degrade gracefully. Found by property-based tests
while extending the test suite.
Compares the running assembly version against the latest GitHub release
tag on every app launch (desktop and Android) and shows an in-app
overlay with the new version tag when one is available. Best-effort:
network/parse failures are silent, matching the app's existing
non-blocking startup checks.
Translate every Italian /// XML doc comment, <!-- --> XAML comment, and
// inline comment to English across all source files (Core, App, tests).
Add the language policy to CLAUDE.md (conversation Italian; all code
and docs English). Update one test assertion that checked an Italian
exception message that was also translated.
Rework the ElectrumClient transport to cut latency and allocations
during sync:
- Channel-based single-reader write loop: drains the whole queue into a
single WriteAsync+FlushAsync, replacing the _writeLock that forced one
flush per message. N queued requests now travel in one TCP segment.
- PipeReader read loop parsing via Utf8JsonReader over pooled spans: no
StreamReader/ReadLineAsync and no intermediate string per response.
- TcpClient.NoDelay = true: no Nagle wait on small packets.
- Concurrency gate (SemaphoreSlim, MaxInFlight=32) in RequestAsync:
caps requests in flight to the server without serializing writes,
avoiding floods (-101/-102) and connection drops on wallets with large
history.
