2052e3aa9awallet: ignore chainStateFlushed notifications while attaching chain (Martin Zumsande) Pull request description: Fixes #24487 When a rescan is performed during `CWallet::AttachChain()` (e.g. when loading an old wallet) but this is interrupted by a shutdown signal, the wallet will currently stop the rescan, receive a `chainStateFlushed` signal, set the saved best block to the tip and shut down. At next startup, the rescan is not continued or repeated because of this. But some blocks have never been scanned by the wallet, which could lead to an incorrect balance. Fix this by ignoring `chainStateFlushed` notifications until the chain is attached. Since `CWallet::chainStateFlushed` is being manually called by `AttachChain()` anyway after finishing with the rescan, it is not a problem if intermediate notifications are ignored. Manual rescans started / aborted by the `rescanblockchain` / `abortrescan` RPCs are not affected by this. I didn't choose alternative ways of fixing this issue that would delay the validationinterface registration or change anything else about the handling of `blockConnected` signals for the reasons mentioned in [this existing comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/wallet/wallet.cpp#L2937-L2944). ACKs for top commit: achow101: ACK2052e3aa9aryanofsky: Code review ACK2052e3aa9a. This is a straightforward fix for the bug described in #24487 where a wallet could skip scanning blocks if is shut down in the middle of a sync and a chainStateFlushed notification was received during the sync. It would be nice to write a test for this but probably would be tricky to write. w0xlt: Code Review ACK2052e3aa9aTree-SHA512: a6186173d72b26bd4adbf2315e11af365004a723ea5565a0f7b868584dc47c321a6572eafaeb2420bd21eed1c7ad92b47e6218c5eb72313a3c6bee58364e2247

What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
