Companion iOS manual simulator verification update (2026-09-17). SDK commit bea84df was built into the simulator framework and used with iOS commit 7a5fed6c0 on iPhone 17 / iOS 26.3, connected to testnet. We created a real identity, injected an app-level failure before the first DPNS broadcast, restarted the app, and successfully completed real DPNS registration through the recovery UI using that identity's existing credits. The name persisted after a further restart with the temporary hook removed. Testnet explorer evidence: This verifies integration and the successful broadcast path, not live-node failover. The injected error occurred in the app before broadcast; no node was made to return IdentityNotFound. Retry classification, node switching, byte identity and retry budgets remain covered by the previously reported mocked SDK tests. A separate stale identity-balance display was found in the iOS profile after DPNS fees and will be tracked separately. See the companion recovery PR: dashpay/dashwallet-ios#1134. |

Approve — no blockers. The mechanism holds up where it matters, and I verified the parts that are easy to get wrong:
- the rejection really does arrive as
Error::Protocol(ConsensusError::SignatureError(IdentityNotFoundError)); code 20000 maps toUnauthenticated, so it is non-retryable at both the transport and the SDK layer — nothing banned the node before this PR andupdate_address_ban_statuswill not double-ban it; hash_single(&request.state_transition)is byte-identical toStateTransition::transaction_id();SystemDataContract::DPNS.id()is available without thedpns-contractfeature;- the classifier (
dpns_registration_document_type/is_missing_transition_owner) is properly conservative — owner-id match, single-document create, DPNS contract id,preorder/domainonly — and every DPNS path (rs-platform-wallet,rs-sdk-ffi,wasm-sdk, JNI) goes throughSdk::register_dpns_name, so it fires everywhere it should; - the retry budget arithmetic matches the tests (1/2/3 dispatches).
One major point is left inline (banning a node for a deterministic consensus rejection). It does not block the merge, but it is the one I would fix before this reaches a small deployment.
Everything below is a non-blocking recommendation — take it or leave it:
1. The retry clamp is applied to every DPNS broadcast, not only to the new failover path — packages/rs-sdk/src/platform/transition/broadcast.rs:294-299. settings.retries is narrowed before it is known which error class will occur, so it also shrinks the budget for ordinary retryable transport failures. With DEFAULT_REQUEST_SETTINGS.retries = Some(3) a DPNS broadcast previously got up to 4 dispatches and now gets 3; a caller who deliberately raised retries to 9 for a flaky mobile network silently gets 3. Concretely: two evonodes return Unavailable/DeadlineExceeded on a poor connection, and the preorder broadcast that would previously have reached a third healthy node now returns an error — and the registration restarts with a fresh salt. The clamp only needs to bound the additional-error failover path.
2. excluded can be silently false while the safety condition already holds — packages/rs-sdk/src/sync.rs:169-176. The expression requires ban_with_reason() to return true, but that returns false when the address is no longer in the list — a background SML refresh can rebuild it between the dispatch and this check. The retry is then abandoned even though the rejecting node cannot be selected again, because it is gone. Same class of silent inertness when a caller sets ban_failed_address: Some(false) (wasm-sdk exposes it as banFailedAddress): the whole fix becomes a no-op, with no log line saying why. A tracing::debug! on the not-excluded branch would make this diagnosable.
3. The failover window is ~20 ms, which does not match the hypothesised cause — packages/rs-sdk/src/sync.rs:163 together with the loop's fixed Duration::from_millis(10) sleep at sync.rs:197. If the cause is a node that has not yet applied the block containing the just-created identity, propagation lag is on the order of seconds; the replacement nodes are drawn at random from the same pool and are about as likely to be lagging. The likely outcome is the same rejection three times in 20 ms, plus two banned nodes. A small backoff for this specific error class — or a single delayed re-attempt — would match the stated cause much better than an immediate round-robin.

Make the alternate-node check and exclusion atomic.
When two live addresses remain, another concurrent operation can ban the alternate address after get_live_addresses returns but before this operation calls ban_for. This operation then bans error.address, the final live-address check returns empty, and the retry stops instead of using the alternate node.
Add an AddressList method that checks for a distinct live address and bans the rejected address under one lock. Use its result to decide whether to retry, and add an interleaving test.

Approve — re-reviewed at 23d45e5. The point from my last pass is addressed: the exclusion is now a short flat window instead of the exponential health-ban ladder, so a deterministic consensus rejection no longer degrades the shared AddressList for every other request. Thanks for the test that pins it.
Re-verified the core design at this head: IdentityNotFoundError (code 20000) maps to Unauthenticated in both rs-dapi (error_mapping.rs:118) and js-dapi, so the lower layer returns immediately with error.address populated — exactly what the failover needs; it is a CheckTx rejection, so the transition is in no mempool and re-sending identical bytes is safe; non-DPNS callers are byte-for-byte unchanged, since retry() passes |_| false and the new branch is dead for them.
No blockers. Everything below is a non-blocking recommendation:
1. The failover is gated on ban_failed_address — packages/rs-sdk/src/sync.rs:171. An SDK configured with ban_failed_address: Some(false) gets no DPNS retry at all: the rejection is returned on the first node even with a dozen healthy evonodes available. That configuration is supported and in use (rs-scripts/src/bin/load_test.rs:472, rs-sdk-ffi/src/evonode/queries/status.rs:139), and rs-sdk-ffi/src/identity/helpers.rs:37 maps it unconditionally from the FFI struct, so a zero-initialised DashSDKPutSettings yields Some(false). It is latent today only because register_dpns_name passes settings: None. AddressList::evict_from_rotation — which the lower layer already uses at dapi_client.rs:245 — satisfies the "never resend to the same node" invariant without touching ban state, and would decouple the two.
2. The new comment overstates what ban_for does — packages/rs-sdk/src/sync.rs:177. It says "never the exponential health ladder", but AddressStatus::ban_for (address_list.rs:159) still does ban_count = ban_count.max(1), and only unban() resets it. A healthy-but-lagging evonode excluded for 2 s keeps ban_count == 1 until it next serves a successful response, so its next genuine health failure is banned for 60 s × e¹ ≈ 163 s rather than the first-rung 60 s — and each attempt can do that to two nodes. The ban_for docs call the side effect out; the comment here should not claim the opposite.
3. A concurrent health-ban can change the error type the caller sees — packages/rs-sdk/src/sync.rs:119. After the exclusion the loop stores the rejection in last_meaningful_error and retries; if the remaining live nodes are health-banned by another request during the 10 ms sleep, the lower layer returns NoAvailableAddresses and the loop returns Error::NoAvailableAddressesToRetry(Box::new(IdentityNotFound)) instead of the typed Error::Protocol(ProtocolError::ConsensusError(...)). Both is_missing_transition_owner and the companion iOS recovery in dashwallet-ios#1134 match on the typed shape, so the caller loses the very signal this retry exists to preserve. Narrow race — a wallet doing background sync in parallel is the realistic trigger — but it contradicts the PR's stated "return the original rejection if safe failover is unavailable".
4. The retry clamp still applies to every DPNS broadcast up front (carried over from the last round, not re-litigating it) — broadcast.rs:293. DEFAULT_REQUEST_SETTINGS.retries is Some(3) and BroadcastStateTransitionRequest has no SETTINGS_OVERRIDES, so an ordinary Unavailable/deadline failure that previously got 4 dispatches now gets 3. The case that stings is a flaky connection during the domain broadcast after an accepted preorder: preorders are not persisted, so the user redoes the registration and pays a fresh preorder fee.
Test hygiene, non-blocking: broadcast.rs:693 (should_keep_repeated_missing_owner_exclusions_short_and_flat) does a real tokio::time::sleep(2100 ms); tokio::time::pause() + advance() would make it free in CI.

Final validation — Phase 1 + Phase 2
Verified the supplied findings against head 23d45e5 and the PR's stated scope. The targeted retry classification and signed-request reuse are appropriately scoped, but the shared two-second ban does not reliably exclude rejecting nodes throughout a broadcast. This is an SDK correctness suggestion under the supplied non-consensus severity policy, not a blocker; verification was source-based, without independently rerunning the reported tests.

In `packages/rs-sdk/src/sync.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-sdk/src/sync.rs:177-181: Keep rejecting nodes excluded for the entire broadcast retry sequence
The shared two-second ban cannot enforce the nearby promise that this signed request is never resent to a rejecting node. With two configured nodes, A can reject immediately and B can return the same missing-owner rejection after 2.1 seconds, within the default ten-second request timeout. AddressStatus::is_live then considers A available again, so this branch bans B and the third dispatch selects A rather than returning the meaningful rejection after exhausting untried nodes. DapiClient selects addresses afresh through get_live_address and carries no broadcast-scoped exclusions. An unrelated in-flight request succeeding on A can also clear its ban through update_address_ban_status before the two seconds expire. Revisiting a node retaining rejected transaction hashes can replace the missing-owner error with a duplicate-transaction rejection; with additional nodes it can spend the final dispatch on a previously rejecting node rather than an untouched alternative. The shared mechanism also affects unrelated requests and raises a clean node's ban_count to one, making its next health ban approximately 163 seconds rather than 60 if no success resets the count. Track rejected addresses for the lifetime of this broadcast and honor that set during transport selection, including lower-level retries, independently of shared health state. Add regression coverage for a delayed second rejection and an unrelated success clearing the shared ban.

A wallet can successfully create an identity and then receive
IdentityNotFoundErrorwhile broadcasting its DPNS preorder or domain. Previously, completing registration required another manual attempt. A lagging node is a possible cause, not a confirmed diagnosis of the reported incident.What was done?
Companion iOS recovery change: dashpay/dashwallet-ios#1134.
IdentityNotFoundErrormatching the owner of a single DPNS preorder/domain create.This change does not persist preorders across application restarts. A later manual attempt can require a new preorder and ordinary DPNS fees.
