Addresses all review comments from PR #21 covering security vulnerabilities, unsafe code, and code quality issues.

Security & Safety

  • Overflow protection: credit_account now uses checked_add with new BalanceOverflow error variant
  • Removed unsafe code: Replaced std::slice::from_raw_parts with safe byte array construction in qrcode.rs and game_viz.rs
  • Input validation: Added validate_address() for Ethereum-style address format in RPC
  • Logging: Changed public key logging from println to tracing::debug
// Before (unsafe)
let buffer = SharedPixelBuffer::clone_from_slice(
    unsafe { std::slice::from_raw_parts(pixels.as_ptr() as *const u8, pixels.len() * 4) },
    ...
);

// After (safe)
let mut pixel_bytes = Vec::with_capacity((size * 4) as usize);
for pixel in &pixels {
    pixel_bytes.extend_from_slice(&[pixel.r, pixel.g, pixel.b, pixel.a]);
}
let buffer = SharedPixelBuffer::clone_from_slice(&pixel_bytes, ...);

Code Quality

  • Added MAX_HALVINGS constant in bitcell-economics/src/constants.rs
  • Removed duplicate route /api/blocks/:height in admin API
  • Removed unused image dependency and duplicate slint-build
  • Added documentation for bitcell_getTournamentState and bitcell_getBattleReplay
  • Fixed duplicate mermaid diagram in RPC docs
  • Fixed hash.as_bytes() usage for proper hex encoding

Functionality

  • Added enabled: !WalletState.wallet-locked check for send transaction button
  • Marked transaction sending as NOT_IMPLEMENTED in admin API and wallet GUI

Testing

  • Added 14 tests for keys.rs (PEM, mnemonic, error cases, priority logic)
  • Added 8 tests for RPC client methods

let result = load_secret_key_from_file(&temp_file);
// PEM parsing might fail due to key validation, but it should parse the format
// The important thing is it doesn't crash

Test incomplete: This test doesn't verify the result of load_secret_key_from_file. The comment says "PEM parsing might fail" but doesn't assert anything about the outcome. Consider either:

  1. Asserting that it succeeds if the PEM content is valid
  2. Asserting that it fails if the PEM content is invalid
  3. Adding a comment explaining why the assertion is omitted

Example:

let result = load_secret_key_from_file(&temp_file);
// This specific PEM content should succeed/fail because...
assert!(result.is_ok()); // or assert!(result.is_err());
