fCollectProofsremains a public, unsynchronized state flag. At the old-to-recent batching boundary, concurrentActivateBestChain()calls can make one thread skip a Spark proof, another clear collection mode, andfinalize()discard that proof. The affected block can then be accepted without the proof being checked inline or retained for batch verification.verify_pending()treats equal vector sizes as batch identity. A disconnect followed by a same-size replacement can apply a stale verdict and clear an unverified replacement batch.- Cover sets are loaded outside
cs_main, butGetCoinSet()subsequently reads mutablecoinGroups, chain, and block-index data unlocked. Concurrent connect/disconnect can produce a data race or a mixed-tip cover-set snapshot. - Releasing
cs_mainafter publishing chain, wallet, index, and Spark state lets other threads consume or extend state before the deferred proof verdict succeeds. - The empty-success path returns without removing
sparkbatchfailed, so a clean empty batch can force an unnecessary reindex on restart.
Please make collection, finalization, and verification one generation-checked state transition, take all cover sets from one chain-consistent snapshot, and prevent unverified state from becoming externally usable. An atomic flag alone is insufficient. Add barrier-based regressions for the old-to-recent race, same-size replacement, concurrent cover-set mutation, and empty-marker cleanup.
Current exact-head Linux Release and Debug built and passed all 94 CTests, but both failed extended RPC tests, including the same spark_mintspend.py assertion.
Keep each batch local to ConnectBlock, verify it under cs_main before global or persistent state changes, and discard it on every exit. Retain legacy recovery-marker handling for upgrades, but stop creating markers for block-local work.

Requesting changes on the current head. The restored cross-block Spark batch lifecycle still has fail-open and reorg races. Please keep deferred proof state represented until one verifier commits a verdict, drain it at a deterministic sync boundary rather than using age alone, and keep side-effectful block processing behind successful proof validation. Please add focused regressions for the interleavings described inline.

[P1] Drain deferred proofs even when the tip stays old
Tip age is not proof that syncing will continue. A network/bootstrap sync or higher-work reorg can stop at a tip older than 24 hours; the enrolled Spark proofs have skipped direct cryptographic verification, yet ConnectTip commits and activates them, and this predicate prevents the normal pending drain from running. Clean shutdown and full-reindex completion are the only other drains. Add an explicit sync/activation completion barrier, or bound and verify before publishing, so a stale tip cannot remain active with unchecked proofs.

[P1] Keep an explicit in-flight batch and restore it on exceptions
Swapping every member vector into locals makes the container look empty while verification runs. A second ActivateBestChain verifier can enter after cs_main is released, take the empty-success path, and delete sparkbatchfailed; a crash then leaves committed unchecked state with no recovery marker. VerifySparkBatch also rethrows std::bad_alloc, so unwinding destroys the only proof copy while P2P/RPC catch the exception and continue. Serialize pending verifiers or track an in-flight generation, and restore the snapshot with a scope guard unless its verdict is committed.

[P2] Let disconnect cancel proofs already being verified
remove() searches only the member vectors, but verify_pending() has moved those vectors into locals. A concurrent reorg therefore cannot remove a disconnected spend. If that snapshot then fails against post-reorg state, it is restored, fBatchFailed is latched, and the node aborts/reindexes for a block that is no longer active. Record removals against the in-flight generation and retry against the current active batch.

[P2] Verify Spark before side-effectful special processing
Moving this check after ProcessSpecialTxsInBlock preserves conflict-tx-lock precedence, but normal special processing runs with notifications enabled. If this later rejects bad-spark-batch-proof, EvoDB rolls back while deterministic-MN/UI notifications and quorum cache changes do not. Run the non-mutating InstantSend conflict check first, then verify the Spark batch, then apply and notify special-transaction state.

[P2] Fail the block when the recovery marker cannot be created
finalize() now relies on WriteRecoveryMarker() before deferred proofs have a verdict, but that helper returns void, only logs fopen failure, and does not durably sync the file. ConnectTip still commits the unchecked state, so a crash can restart without forcing reindex. Return and check marker-creation failure, and make the marker durable before allowing the block commit.
