After the handshake the wallet checks server.features genesis_hash and,
when the profile has checkpoints, the header at the highest checkpoint
not above the server's tip (mainnet shares Bitcoin's genesis, so the
checkpoint is what tells the chains apart). A server on another chain is
refused with WrongChainException and the next candidate is tried. Used by
the GUI, peer discovery, the CLI and the server probe. See ADR 0036.
A hostile server could stream an endless line with no newline and exhaust
the client's memory. A single reply is now capped at 16 MiB (configurable
via maxLineBytes in ConnectAsync); on excess the connection fails with
InvalidDataException. See ADR 0035.
After a protocol error (e.g. a malformed line) the read loop ended but
the client still reported IsConnected and later requests waited forever
for a response that could never arrive. The read loop now marks the
connection closed before failing pending requests, and RequestAsync
throws IOException on a closed connection. Adds regression tests and a
raw-line helper to the fake server.
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.
