concept ACK, I like idea to run governance on nodes without txindex. First part of comments are relevant even PR is draft, consider them. Firstly [a]: governance index should never be more than some certain amount, because it's always burn at least 1 dash. consider having proposal index always by default, not only when it's enabled by command line option. Firstly [b]: so far as governance doesn't require txindex at all, consider removing command line Secondly, consider migrate-out from txindex in governance completely. Thirdly, instead making brand new test/functional/feature_governance_pruned.py better add option --prune for one of the nodes that participate in feature_governance.py, it will ensure that all scenarious that should be covered will be covered once and no need to sync feature_governance.py and feature_governance_pruned.py when feature_governance.py will get a brand-new scenario or corner case to test. Second part of comments [below] are probably irrelevant, because it's still draft and they are about details of implementation rather about concept and functionality, but read them at least.
that's a bit too many new circular dependencies are added. I expect to see only |

Thanks for the review. I rebased onto develop 23479b9 (old head 08456cb, new head 083abff) and reworked the PR along your comments. Point by point: [a] The index is always on, and [b] Removing Secondly: migrate governance off txindex completely. Done. Collateral is looked up only in the governance collateral index; One consequence, also listed under "Still open" in the description: every node, masternodes included, builds the index once on its first start after upgrading. Until it has synced, the node ignores governance messages and its governance sync waits. If the mainnet build turns out to be long, we could use txindex as a temporary source in Thirdly: fold the test into 1. 2. 3. Circular dependencies: the index now lives in The PR stays a draft while the open items in the description are discussed. 🤖 Posted autonomously by Claude on behalf of pasta. |

On the first startup after upgrading an existing node, gov_collateral_index is non-null while its initial full-chain scan can still be unsynced, so this existence-only guard lets gobject prepare create and broadcast the irreversible fee. BlockUntilCollateralIndexSynced() then returns false immediately for that initial catch-up (its result is ignored), and the subsequent gobject submit fails because FindCollateral refuses an unsynced source; the analogous pointer-only guard in interfaces.cpp::createProposal leaves the Qt flow exposed too. Include the source's synced/behind state in both early gates so this upgrade path also fails before burning the fee.

Fixed in bdc568a, folded into "fix(governance): refuse proposals early on nodes that can't check them". EnsureCanSubmitProposals (used by gobject prepare and gobject submit) and createProposal in interfaces.cpp now also require gov_collateral_index->BlockUntilSyncedToCurrentChain(). That call returns false right away while the index's initial sync is still running, so during the first catch-up after an upgrade, gobject prepare and the Qt proposal flow refuse before the fee is created, with "still building its governance collateral index (see getindexinfo) … try again once the index has synced". Once the index is synced, the same call waits for pending notifications, as BlockUntilCollateralIndexSynced already did.
I didn't add a test: on regtest the index catches up almost immediately after startup, so the unsynced window can't be hit reliably. feature_governance.py --descriptors passes with the change.

Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
Verified both reviewer findings against head ac049c9; one targeted test-coverage suggestion remains, with no blocking issues. The null-source report describes pre-existing regtest behavior rather than a regression introduced by this PR. Validation was static only: the supplied CI snapshot shows successful source builds and lint still in progress.

In `test/functional/feature_governance.py`:
- [SUGGESTION] test/functional/feature_governance.py:470: Revalidate pruned collateral after reopening the index
This assertion verifies that the proposal survives in governance.dat, but listing an existing proposal does not validate its collateral. It therefore does not check that the reopened index can deserialize and use its persisted collateral summary, which is essential once the original block has been pruned. Submit the same parameters again here: gobject submit validates collateral before reaching duplicate-object handling, so this directly exercises the persisted index without requiring another scenario.
Out-of-scope follow-up suggestions (1)
These are valid observations, but they are outside this PR's scope and should be handled in separate issues or author/maintainer-requested PRs rather than blocking this review.
- IsCollateralSourceBehind misses null collateral source — The identified peer-penalty behavior is pre-existing, not newly exposed by this PR. At base 23479b9, -reindex-chainstate requires -txindex=0, regtest bypasses the governance/txindex requirement, and IsCollateralValid fails whenever g_txindex is null; ProcessObject then returns false and NetGovernance applies the same 20-point penalty. At this head, init.cpp disables governance for the other unavailable-source case (blocks already pruned), and rejects governance with -reindex-chainstate outside regtest. IsCollateralSourceBehind specifically reports a source that is catching up, as documented in governance.h; treating the intentionally absent regtest source as behind would additionally hold governance sync indefinitely because that source cannot become available during the process lifetime. This does not justify expanding the PR to change the existing regtest exception.
- Follow-up: Consider creating a separate issue or author/maintainer-requested PR for this.

Applied in 2533efb (folded into "feat(governance): run governance on pruned nodes"). After the restart, the test now waits for govcollateralindex to report synced, then resubmits the same parameters and checks it gets the same hash back. The wait is needed: since the earlier fix, gobject submit refuses while the index is still catching up. feature_governance.py --descriptors passes.

Resolved (re-reviewed at 2533efbc): Thanks—the restart scenario now waits for govcollateralindex to report synced and resubmits the same parameters, checking the original hash. I verified that gobject submit validates collateral before duplicate-object handling, so this exercises the reopened index's persisted summary after the original block has been pruned.

When a proposal is relayed immediately after its fee block is connected, the index's BlockConnected notification can still be queued even though BaseIndex has latched summary.synced to true from an earlier tip. This predicate therefore lets NetGovernance::ProcessMessage validate the object, FindCollateral misses the not-yet-indexed transaction, and ProcessObject treats an otherwise valid proposal as permanently invalid and scores the announcing peer 20. The collateral-source readiness check needs to account for the index's current best block/validation queue, not only whether its initial catch-up completed once.

This race isn't new with this PR. On develop, IsCollateralValid calls g_txindex->FindTx directly (src/governance/object.cpp, around line 800), and txindex is updated by the same queued BlockConnected callback with no BlockUntilSyncedToCurrentChain() beforehand. So a proposal relayed while its fee block's notification is still queued is already rejected there, and the peer is scored 20 by the same ProcessObject path. The new index keeps that behaviour and doesn't widen the window.
The window is a single block: an honest node relays at GOVERNANCE_MIN_RELAY_FEE_CONFIRMATIONS and later confirmations. The clean fix is to treat "not found while the source's best block isn't the active tip" as fMissingConfirmations, so the object is postponed and rechecked by CheckPostponedObjects instead of being rejected. That applies to txindex and this index alike, so I'd rather do it as a separate small fix than grow this PR. Leaving it as is here.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
Independently reviewed the complete diff at 2533efb, including collateral validation, index persistence and lifecycle, pruning safeguards, synchronization gates, proposal refusal paths, and test adaptations; no actionable in-scope issues were found. The prior persisted-collateral coverage finding is fixed. Validation was static only: the supplied exact-head CI snapshot still had build/cache checks queued and lint running, so completed build and test validation is not established.

When the collateral scan reaches the current local tip before CMasternodeSync leaves its blockchain stage (for example, while an out-of-date node is still in IBD), DeferAnnouncement flips false and this callback erases each held governance INV even though NetGovernance::AlreadyHave still treats it as already held: CGovernanceManager::ConfirmInventoryRequest returns false while !IsBlockchainSynced(), so AddObjectAnnouncement is never called. The announcing peer has already placed the hash in its known-inventory filter, so a later MNGOVERNANCESYNC on the same connection can suppress it and leave the node missing objects or votes; include blockchain readiness in the deferral/release condition.

Fixed in addd429. NetGovernance::DeferAnnouncement now holds governance announcements exactly when ProcessMessage would drop their objects: governance is enabled and either the collateral index is behind or the blockchain isn't synced. If the index finishes while the node is still syncing the blockchain, or after an mnsync reset, the announcements stay held. They're released only once ConfirmInventoryRequest will actually request them.
The catch-up test now marks the index synced, resets mnsync, and checks that SendMessages still sends no GETDATA. After the blockchain stage completes, it checks that the GETDATA goes to the peer that announced the object. With the old condition, the final GETDATA check fails.

burns_fee only proves that one element meets the proposal fee, but the code then persists the entire info.burns vector. A mined transaction can therefore contain one 1-DASH burn plus a block-sized set of zero-value exact OP_RETURN <32-byte> outputs, causing nearly all of that data to live permanently in the prune-compatible index even though BurnsAtLeast can never use the sub-fee entries. Filtering unusable burns before WriteCollaterals keeps the index size proportional to value actually burned rather than transaction size.

Fixed in addd429, folded into "feat(index): add a governance proposal collateral index". CustomAppend now drops burns below GOVERNANCE_PROPOSAL_FEE_TX before deciding whether to store the transaction, so a stored record keeps only fee-sized burns. BurnsAtLeast is only ever called with the proposal fee, so the dropped entries could never be matched.
index_records_transactions_burning_the_proposal_fee now gives the fee-burning transaction an extra zero-value OP_RETURN <32 bytes> output and checks that the stored record has one burn. Without the filter, that check fails.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
Verified the supplied findings and both prior findings against head 79df37e. The persisted-collateral regression is fixed, but deferred-inventory overflow still loses governance announcements; two additional suggestions address premature queue draining and a newly vacuous test assertion. This was a static review only: no builds or tests were run, and the supplied CI snapshot has build checks queued and lint checks in progress.

In `src/net_processing.cpp`:
- [BLOCKING] src/net_processing.cpp:4594-4597: Retain governance inventory ignored during index catch-up
The deferred queue fixes recovery for the first 10,000 announcements, but silently discards every subsequent announcement without arranging recovery. This limit is below supported governance traffic: INV messages accept 50,000 entries, and MAX_PEER_OBJECT_ANNOUNCEMENTS explicitly accommodates governance vote-sync batches of that size. A scanning node can receive those batches without requesting synchronization itself because NetGovernance broadcasts sync-response inventory through PeerRelayInv. For discarded entries, the sender has inserted the hash into its known-inventory filter, so subsequent full or per-object synchronization on that connection suppresses it through PushInv. The node can therefore finish catch-up with missing objects or votes despite the new buffering. Keep the memory bound, but arrange overflow recovery, such as refreshing affected connections and synchronizing after readiness. Extend the regression beyond the queue limit and verify recovery without manually reannouncing the discarded item.
In `src/governance/net_governance.cpp`:
- [SUGGESTION] src/governance/net_governance.cpp:286-292: Defer governance announcements until blockchain sync completes
If the collateral index becomes ready while CMasternodeSync is still in its blockchain stage, this hook stops deferring and SendMessages drains the buffered inventory. However, ConfirmInventoryRequest returns false while IsBlockchainSynced() is false, causing AlreadyHave to report every entry as held; std::erase_if then removes those entries without scheduling requests. This can occur during startup or when mnsync is reset during the index scan. The sender's known-inventory filter subsequently suppresses those announcements on the same connection. Continue deferring until both the collateral source and blockchain-sync state permit requesting governance inventory, and exercise that readiness transition in the existing regression.

- [SUGGESTION] test/functional/feature_governance.py:392: Assert past trigger vote suppression on a masternode rather than the pruned node

🔴 Blocking: Retain governance inventory ignored during index catch-up
The deferred queue fixes recovery for the first 10,000 announcements, but silently discards every subsequent announcement without arranging recovery. This limit is below supported governance traffic: INV messages accept 50,000 entries, and MAX_PEER_OBJECT_ANNOUNCEMENTS explicitly accommodates governance vote-sync batches of that size. A scanning node can receive those batches without requesting synchronization itself because NetGovernance broadcasts sync-response inventory through PeerRelayInv. For discarded entries, the sender has inserted the hash into its known-inventory filter, so subsequent full or per-object synchronization on that connection suppresses it through PushInv. The node can therefore finish catch-up with missing objects or votes despite the new buffering. Keep the memory bound, but arrange overflow recovery, such as refreshing affected connections and synchronizing after readiness. Extend the regression beyond the queue limit and verify recovery without manually reannouncing the discarded item.

Fixed in 6f28f94, folded into "feat(governance): run governance on pruned nodes". You're right that the volume is real: a neighbor's answer to someone else's vote sync reaches us through PeerRelayInv, up to MAX_INV_SZ per INV.
- Cap: the per-peer limit is now
MAX_PEER_OBJECT_ANNOUNCEMENTS, the same number of pending announcements the request tracker already allows a peer, and enough for two full vote-sync batches. The held entries are bareCInvs (36 bytes each), well under what the tracker's own entries cost per peer. - Overflow recovery: an announcement that doesn't fit sets
Peer::m_deferred_announcements_overflowed. Once governance can process the held announcements, that peer is disconnected and its held list dropped, instead of having only some of them requested. While the index was behind, mnsync waited in the governance stage without sending anyMNGOVERNANCESYNC, so no "governance-sync" fulfilled request is recorded for that peer. Its next connection gets a fresh known-inventory filter, and the normal governance sync picks up everything it has. Peers that didn't overflow are released normally.
The catch-up test now has a second peer announce 2 * MAX_INV_SZ + 1 votes in three INVs, keeping the connection open throughout, with no re-announcement. Once governance is ready, SendMessages disconnects that peer and sends it no GETDATA, while the first peer still gets its GETDATA and stays connected. With the overflow branch disabled, the peer isn't disconnected and gets 100 GETDATA messages, and the test fails.

Still applies (re-reviewed at 6f28f944): Your overflow disconnect covers announcements that exceed the held-list cap, but matching that cap to the tracker's limit does not reserve tracker space: pending transactions and other objects consume the same allowance. Replay can therefore reject and erase retained governance entries without setting the overflow flag; the current regression covers list overflow but not this shared-capacity boundary.

Fixed in b14e956, folded into "feat(governance): run governance on pruned nodes". You're right that the held list and the tracker share one allowance.
AddObjectAnnouncementnow returnsfalsewhen the peer already hasMAX_PEER_OBJECT_ANNOUNCEMENTSannouncements pending.- Held announcements are released in the order they were announced. The release stops at the first one the tracker refuses, and that one and everything after it stay held. They're retried on later
SendMessagescalls, once the peer's earlier announcements have been requested or expired. Nothing is erased without being registered or already being had. m_deferred_announcementsis now astd::deque, so releasing a prefix costs only what is released. While the tracker stays full, each call does a single refused attempt.
The catch-up test now also has the same peer fill its whole allowance with transaction announcements while the index is behind. Once governance is ready, the held object isn't requested and the peer isn't disconnected. After those announcements leave the tracker, the object is requested from the same peer without a second announcement. If refusals are ignored, as before, that last check fails.
Also applied the 🟡 suggestion on feature_governance.py:392, which is outside the diff: the past-superblock check now watches mn_node. On develop, self.nodes[1] was that same masternode; this PR made index 1 the pruned node, which doesn't vote.

Resolved (re-reviewed at 8fa04e2e): Your shared-capacity correction is present: AddObjectAnnouncement reports refusal, and replay stops without erasing the refused entry or its successors. The regression fills that same peer's allowance with transaction announcements, then verifies that freeing capacity causes the held governance object to be requested without another announcement.

🟡 Suggestion: Defer governance announcements until blockchain sync completes
If the collateral index becomes ready while CMasternodeSync is still in its blockchain stage, this hook stops deferring and SendMessages drains the buffered inventory. However, ConfirmInventoryRequest returns false while IsBlockchainSynced() is false, causing AlreadyHave to report every entry as held; std::erase_if then removes those entries without scheduling requests. This can occur during startup or when mnsync is reset during the index scan. The sender's known-inventory filter subsequently suppresses those announcements on the same connection. Continue deferring until both the collateral source and blockchain-sync state permit requesting governance inventory, and exercise that readiness transition in the existing regression.

Resolved (re-reviewed at 6f28f944): Your current DeferAnnouncement condition now retains governance inventory while either the collateral source is behind or blockchain sync is incomplete. The updated regression also marks the index synced, resets mnsync, and checks that retrieval waits until the blockchain stage completes.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
Verified the combined reviewer findings and all five prior findings against head 6f28f94. Three prior findings are fixed, but deferred governance inventory can still be lost when replay encounters a full shared request tracker, and one voting-log assertion still targets a non-masternode. This was static verification only; the supplied CI snapshot shows lint running and six platform cache checks queued, without completed build/test results.

(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/7860#discussion_r4290644176)
The larger deferred-list limit and overflow disconnect fix loss at receipt, but replay still erases announcements that the request tracker refuses. AddObjectAnnouncement() returns without recording the item when m_object_request.Count(peer) reaches MAX_PEER_OBJECT_ANNOUNCEMENTS, while this callback unconditionally returns true. That tracker also holds ordinary transactions and other Dash objects, which are not deferred during collateral-index catch-up. For example, 100,000 distinct unknown deferred governance announcements plus one pending transaction announcement cause at least one deferred item to be erased without admission. The deferred list itself did not overflow, so the new disconnect branch does not run. Subsequent governance sync can suppress that missing item's hash through the sender's known-inventory filter, leaving the recovery failure intact. Make tracker admission observable and retain unadmitted items for a later pass, or invoke overflow recovery when the shared tracker cannot accept the transfer. Extend the existing regression with a non-overflowing deferred list and pending non-governance inventory.

When a reorg disconnects a block containing fee-burn transactions, these rows stay live because GovCollateralIndex does not override the no-op BaseIndex::CustomRewind. A miner can place many unique fee burns on branches that become active and are then orphaned, reuse the same coins on later branches, and make this mandatory index grow without the claimed DASH-supply bound even though none of those burns remains in the active chain. Remove the disconnected blocks' transaction IDs during rewind (or key and prune records by block) so stale collaterals do not accumulate.

Fixed in 621ac83, folded into "feat(index): add a governance proposal collateral index". Lookups were already safe, because IsCollateralValid only counts a collateral whose block is on the active chain. But you're right that stale rows broke the size bound the PR description claims.
GovCollateralIndex now overrides CustomRewind. For each disconnected block, it reads the block and erases the entries CustomAppend wrote for it. Both paths share one helper, GetCollaterals, so they always agree on which transactions count. If a transaction is mined again on the new branch, its entry is written back when that block connects. The disconnected blocks are at most a reorg deep, so a pruned node still has them on disk.
index_records_transactions_burning_the_proposal_fee now invalidates the block holding a fee burn and mines a replacement without it. It checks that the index no longer has that burn but still has the older one. With CustomRewind stubbed to return true, that check fails.

When CMasternodeSync::Reset() races this release (for example, UpdatedBlockTip sends the node back to blockchain sync), the outer DeferAnnouncement test may already have returned false while ConfirmInventoryRequest() now returns false solely because IsBlockchainSynced() is false. AlreadyHave() consequently returns true, this loop advances, and the subsequent erase drops INV entries the node does not actually have; the announcer's known-inventory filter then suppresses them during the later governance sync on the same connection, so objects or votes can remain missing after resync. Recheck DeferAnnouncement inside the release loop before allowing the AlreadyHave branch to discard an entry.

Fixed in 8fa04e2, folded into "feat(governance): run governance on pruned nodes". The release loop now checks DeferAnnouncement again for each held inv before AlreadyHave can claim it. If mnsync resets on another thread after the check on the oldest entry, the loop stops at the first entry that is deferred again, and that entry and everything after it stay held for the next SendMessages.
There's no regression test for this one. The window is a reset on another thread landing between two calls in the same SendMessages pass, which a unit test can't reproduce deterministically. The single-threaded paths (held while behind, held through an mnsync reset after the index syncs, released once both have synced) are still covered by governance_objects_wait_for_the_collateral_index, which passes. The functional tests feature_governance.py and p2p_invalid_messages.py also pass.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
All five prior findings are fixed in the current source, including bounded announcement replay, overflow recovery, blockchain-readiness gating, and the two test corrections. One blocking issue remains: collateral erasures are persisted separately from the rewind locator, allowing a crash to leave valid collateral permanently absent from an index reported as synced. This was a static verification; the supplied CI snapshot shows successful lint and formatting checks, with source builds still queued or running.

Fixed in 1ce2ee8, folded into "feat(index): add a governance proposal collateral index". CustomRewind now collects the erasures for every disconnected block into one CDBBatch, writes the locator for the new tip into that same batch, and commits it once. The deletions and the best-block move are therefore atomic. A crash before the write leaves the old rows and the old locator. A crash after it leaves the index at the new tip without them, which ThreadSync replays forward from. BaseIndex::Rewind then commits the same locator again through Commit(), which is harmless.
I went with the locator in the rewind batch rather than staging the erasures for CustomCommit. That way the erasures can't sit in memory past the rewind and later delete rows a reconnected block wrote back.
There's no new test for this. The failure needs the process to die between two database writes, which a unit test can't produce. The reorg check in index_records_transactions_burning_the_proposal_fee still covers the rewind itself and passes. So do the coinstatsindex, blockfilter_index and txindex suites, and feature_governance.py, feature_index_prune.py and feature_reindex.py.

Resolved (re-reviewed at 1ce2ee8d): Your CustomRewind now accumulates all collateral erasures and writes the replacement best-block locator in the same CDBBatch before one WriteBatch, closing the reported crash window. Writing the locator directly in that batch is a valid alternative to staging erasures for CustomCommit; BaseIndex's subsequent commit writes the same locator.

Governance looks up proposal collateral through -txindex, which can't run on a pruned node. Add GovCollateralIndex, a prune-compatible BaseIndex that keeps a small summary of every transaction burning at least the proposal fee: its block hash, whether all outputs are P2PKH or unspendable, and its OP_RETURN <32-byte hash> burns. That is everything the collateral check needs, so it keeps working after the blocks are pruned. Governance will reach the index through governance::CollateralSource, a small interface in governance/collateral.h, so that governance code doesn't include the index and the index adds no include cycles through it. The index registers its prune lock in CustomInit so that startup pruning can't delete blocks it hasn't read yet. It is not wired into init or governance yet.

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
Static verification of the complete PR diff confirms one in-scope blocker: overflow recovery can lose governance inventory when a sync request is recorded immediately before the announcing peer is disconnected. The six prior findings are addressed in the current code, but the new scheduling interaction requires changes. No builds or tests were run; current CI passes lint and ClangFormat, has source builds pending, and reports a failed linux64_multiprocess dependency job whose log remains unavailable while the workflow is running.

The overflow recovery assumes that no full governance sync has been requested from this peer, but that stops being guaranteed as soon as the collateral index becomes ready.

Once mnsync finishes, periodic synchronization requests votes only for already-known objects, leaving discarded objects missing even after reconnection. Coordinate overflow handling with sync scheduling so the replacement connection receives the necessary full sync. Extend the regression to run the sync tick after readiness but before the overflow disconnect, reconnect the same service, and verify object recovery without manually reannouncing it; the current test checks only disconnection and absence of GETDATA.

Fixed in 42436eb, folded into "feat(governance): run governance on pruned nodes". You're right: by the time the held announcements were released, SyncManager::ProcessTick could already have recorded "governance-sync" for the peer's address. That record survives the disconnect, so a new connection to the same service would never get a full sync.
The disconnect now happens at the moment of overflow, not at release. The first held announcement that doesn't fit disconnects the peer immediately in the INV handler. This can only happen while DeferAnnouncement is true, which means the collateral index is behind or the blockchain isn't synced. In both states the governance sync stage waits without sending MNGOVERNANCESYNC (sync_manager.cpp: IsCollateralSourceBehind() returns before the fulfilled-request record, and the blockchain stage comes before the governance stage). So no "governance-sync" record can exist for that peer yet, and a new connection to it still gets a full sync. The overflow flag and the separate overflow branch at release time are gone.
The test now holds exactly MAX_PEER_OBJECT_ANNOUNCEMENTS announcements from the second peer without disconnecting it. It then sends one more and checks that the peer is disconnected while the collateral source is still behind. With the immediate disconnect removed, that check fails. I didn't add the full sync-tick and reconnect scenario: ProcessTick runs on the scheduler and depends on static tick timing and CConnman snapshots that the unit fixture doesn't drive, so that test would be fragile. The ordering argument above is what it would check.

Still applies (re-reviewed at 42436eb9): The new disconnect timing prevents a stale request during the initial index catch-up, but it does not clear fulfilled requests from an earlier governance cycle. After a later CMasternodeSync::Reset(), that address-keyed state can still suppress the replacement connection's recovery sync.

This part predates this PR, and it applies to every peer, not just one that overflowed. When mnsync finishes, NodeSyncNotifierImpl::SyncFinished records "full-sync" for every connected peer's address (sync_manager.cpp:361). After a later CMasternodeSync::Reset(), ProcessTick disconnects any peer whose address still has that record, without syncing from it (sync_manager.cpp:196). Like "governance-sync", the record lasts nFulfilledRequestExpireTime (1 hour on mainnet). So on develop, a reset within an hour of finishing mnsync already skips governance sync from every address it just synced from, and those peers' "governance-sync" records never come into play. Governance is recovered from other peers, plus per-object vote sync once mnsync finishes.
With this PR, a peer that overflows during that window is disconnected, and its replacement connection is handled exactly like those peers. The new case only needs a peer that sent more than MAX_PEER_OBJECT_ANNOUNCEMENTS distinct governance announcements during the reset, and to be the only peer holding some of them.
Making a post-reset resync ignore earlier fulfilled-request state would change mnsync's reset behaviour for all peers, so I'd keep it out of this PR. That would mean clearing the "full-sync"/"governance-sync" records on Reset(), or letting the handler reset them when it disconnects an overflowed peer. Happy to file it as a follow-up.

I agree that the address-keyed full-sync/governance-sync state and its interaction with CMasternodeSync::Reset() predate this PR and affect peers generally, so treating that broader issue as a follow-up is reasonable. Before I mark this intentionally deferred, it needs a tracking issue for the follow-up; link one, or explicitly say go ahead and I’ll file it in dashpay/dash.
Not deferred yet: a deferral needs a tracking issue for the follow-up; until then the finding stands.

-prune soft-disabled governance because proposal collateral could only be found through -txindex. Look collateral up only in the governance collateral index instead, which every node now runs. The index lives in NodeContext and CGovernanceManager gets it as a governance::CollateralSource, so governance no longer depends on -txindex at all. -prune no longer soft-sets -disablegovernance, and Qt no longer forces it. Pruned nodes with governance now sync proposals and votes, can create and submit proposals, and validate superblock payments in full instead of only checking that they stay within the budget. While the index is still catching up, governance P2P messages are ignored and the governance sync stage waits instead of timing out, so peers are not punished for objects that only fail because the index lags. Announcements received meanwhile are held per peer and requested from the announcing peer once the index has synced: the peer won't announce them again, and its sync response skips what it already announced. A node that pruned blocks before it had the index can't build it; it now starts with governance off and a warning to -reindex once, instead of failing in BaseIndex::Init. The pruned-node scenarios are covered by making one of the nodes in feature_governance.py pruned. feature_governance_txindex_devnet.py tested the -txindex requirement, which is gone, so it is removed.

gobject prepare burned the proposal fee on nodes that could never submit the proposal, and gobject submit then failed with only "Invalid proposal collateral". Make gobject prepare and gobject submit, and the Qt createProposal/submitProposal interfaces, refuse up front when governance is disabled or the governance collateral index isn't running, and say why and what to do. Keep the collateral error detail in IsValidLocally, and say in the gobject check help that it only checks the proposal data. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Re-review — Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
The PR coherently adds prune-compatible governance collateral indexing and protects proposal creation while the index is unavailable. One blocking recovery gap remains: overflow disconnects are safe only before the first governance sync, but fulfilled-request state survives later masternode-sync resets and can suppress recovery on a replacement connection. Source builds and lint were still in progress at the CI snapshot; the failed multiprocess depends job had a successful cache check and appears infrastructure-related.

- [BLOCKING] src/net_processing.cpp:4594-4599: Coordinate overflow disconnects with governance sync scheduling
(existing thread: https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/7860#discussion_r4291221151)
The immediate disconnect closes the race only for a peer that has never completed governance synchronization. `CMasternodeSync::Reset()` changes the sync asset but does not clear `CNetFulfilledRequestManager` entries, and `NodeSyncNotifierImpl::SyncReset()` only updates UI state. A peer may therefore already have an address-keyed `governance-sync` fulfillment from an earlier completed sync when a later reset puts the node back into blockchain synchronization. During that stage `DeferAnnouncement()` is true because the blockchain is not synced, so an overflow reaches this branch before the current reset cycle can send a new governance request, but the old fulfillment remains. After the peer is disconnected, a replacement connection to the same service is skipped at `sync_manager.cpp:275-280`; the old connection's known-inventory filter and the discarded held queue then prevent reliable recovery of the overflowed objects or votes. Clear the relevant fulfilled-request state as part of reset/overflow recovery, or explicitly schedule a fresh governance sync for the replacement connection. The regression should cover a completed governance sync, a later mnsync reset, overflow during blockchain resync, and recovery after reconnect without a manual reannouncement.

A user on a pruned Dash Core node ran
gobject prepare, which burned the 1 DASH proposal fee, andgobject submitthen failed with onlyInvalid proposal collateral.gobject checkhad returned OK. The only advice available was to turn pruning off, enable-txindexand resync the whole chain.The causes:
-txindex.-prunesoft-disables both-txindexand governance (-disablegovernance=1), so a pruned node can't check, relay or submit proposals at all.gobject preparedidn't check any of that before burning the fee.IsValidLocallyreplaced the collateral error detail withInvalid proposal collateral.Pruned nodes also skip full superblock validation (they only check the maximum bounds) because they have no governance.
This PR makes governance work on pruned nodes. For nodes that still can't do it,
gobject prepare/submitnow fail before anything is burned.What was done?
A prerequisite fix, in its own commit (
fix(net): avoid unsigned wrap when compressing header timestamps)CompressibleBlockHeader::Compresssubtracted timestamps asuint32_t, which wraps when a block is timestamped before its parent. The encoding sent was already correct, because such headers fall back to the full timestamp, but-fsanitize=integerbuilds abort while serving headers.feature_governance.py's pruned node re-downloads headers after-reindex, which hit this onlinux64_asan-test. The commit only computes the offset when it cannot wrap, so the wire encoding is unchanged. It can be split into its own PR if preferred.A prune-compatible governance collateral index
governance::CollateralInfosummarises what the collateral check needs from a transaction: block hash, whether every output is P2PKH or unspendable, and theOP_RETURN <32-byte hash>burns.CGovernanceObject::IsCollateralValidnow runs on that summary instead of on the raw transaction.GovCollateralIndexis aBaseIndexwithAllowPrune(). It stores aCollateralInfoonly for transactions that burn at leastGOVERNANCE_PROPOSAL_FEE_TX, and keeps only their burns of at least that amount, so it stays small: every entry burns at least 1 DASH, so the number of entries is bounded by the DASH supply. It keeps working after the blocks are pruned. When blocks are disconnected in a reorg, their entries are removed again. It registers its prune lock inCustomInit, so startup pruning can't delete blocks a new index hasn't read yet.getindexinforeports it asgovcollateralindex.-reindex-chainstate: they wait until the chainstate has been rebuilt and then catch up, so this index does too.-txindexat all. Until the index has synced, lookups fail with a clear error.NodeContext(node.gov_collateral_index). Governance reaches it throughgovernance::CollateralSource, a small interface ingovernance/collateral.hthatCGovernanceManagerreceives in its constructor andIsValidLocally/IsCollateralValidtake as a parameter. Governance code never includes the index, so the only new include cycle isindex/base -> node/context -> index/govcollateralindex -> index/base, the same shape as the other Dash indexes.Governance on pruned nodes

Each peer can have as many announcements held as it may have pending in the request tracker (MAX_PEER_OBJECT_ANNOUNCEMENTS), and they are freed when the peer disconnects. A peer that announces more than that while governance is waiting is disconnected right away. The node can't have asked that peer for a governance sync yet, so a new connection to it still gets a full one.Fail before burning the fee

Decided after review
-govcollateralindexis gone.-txindex.NodeContextinstead of a global.feature_governance.py(one of its nodes is pruned) instead of a separate test.feature_governance_txindex_devnet.pyis removed.-reindex-chainstate, like the other indexes since backport: bitcoin#25193, #25862, #25943, #28123 and relevant fixes #7883, and governance no longer refuses-reindex-chainstate.Still open
Every node builds the index once, on the first start after upgrading, by reading every block. Masternodes and other
-txindexnodes are included, since governance no longer uses-txindex. Until the index has synced, the node ignores governance messages and its governance sync waits, somnsyncdoesn't finish. On those nodes that means:The mainnet build time hasn't been measured. If it is long, the options are: use
-txindexas a temporary source until the index has synced (glue ininit.cpp; governance code wouldn't change), or only hold back proposals instead of all governance messages while the index catches up.Removing
-disablegovernancealtogether, so governance always runs and the flag only hides the UI, is left for a follow-up. It changes what every node downloads, stores and relays, and the functional tests rely on the flag.The index stores only transactions burning ≥
GOVERNANCE_PROPOSAL_FEE_TX. If the proposal fee ever changes, the index needs a rebuild or a version bump.No proof-import path is included, i.e. submitting a proposal with a merkle proof for collateral the node has pruned past.
Index size on mainnet hasn't been measured. It's bounded by the number of fee-burning transactions.
How Has This Been Tested?
On macOS arm64, with a debug build (
--enable-debug --enable-werror, GUI included) on top ofdevelop23479b9. After the rebase ontodevelop66c7308 (which includes #7883), it was rebuilt (--enable-debug, no GUI) andtest_dash --run_test='governance_*',feature_governance.py,feature_reindex.pyandfeature_index_prune.pywere run again and pass. With the old-reindex-chainstategate put back ininit.cpp, the new-reindex-chainstatestep infeature_governance.pyfails (govcollateralindexis missing fromgetindexinfo). Commits are split so each one builds: the index, then governance on pruned nodes, then the early refusal.Unit tests:
test_dash --run_test='governance_*'passes. That coversgovernance_collateral_tests,governance_inv_tests,governance_vote_processing_testsand the other governance suites.governance_collateral_testschecks three things. Only exactOP_RETURN <32 bytes>scripts count as burns. The index records fee burns, skips smaller burns and coinbases, and indexes blocks both before and after it starts. Collateral checks give the "not running" and "not synced" errors.governance_inv_testschecks that while the index is behind, an announced object is neither requested nor punished. Once the index has synced, the object is requested from the same peer without it announcing the object again, then rejected and punished. The test uses a stubCollateralSource. If the announcement is dropped instead of held, the request check fails.governance_vote_processing_testsnow uses the governance collateral index instead of-txindex.feature_governance.py: node 1 is now a pruned node (-prune=550 -fastprune) without-txindex. It takes part in every existing scenario, and the test checks that it:bad-cb-amount) and accepts the real one with full checks, not "max bounds only";prepare/submitearly when its index is missing;-reindex.Node 0, which is not pruned, is then restarted with

have_trigger_for_heightbecause three masternodes each created an identical-data trigger for the same height. That is the known flake in tests: feature_governance.py is flakey #6705 and test: feature_governance.py intermittent vote/superblock assertions #7328, and it is not specific to the pruned node.Other functional tests, all passing:

It failed ondevelopbefore this PR for an unrelated reason (evodb snapshot missing).-disablegovernance) was not exercised in a GUI.Reviewer pass: an independent review found no lifetime, ordering or init problems. Its main remaining concern is the open item about the first index build after upgrading.
Breaking Changes

A node that pruned before upgrading starts with governance off, a warning, and the advice to-reindexonce.disablegovernance=1saved insettings.json, and governance stays off on them until that setting is removed.-prunetogether with-disablegovernance=0is no longer an error.getindexinfoalways includesgovcollateralindexwhile the index runs, so it is no longer empty without optional indexes.gobject prepare/submiterrors and the collateral error strings changed.Checklist:
