chain: settle HMS transfers on block append and reject self-sends (parity with #30) - #26

Conversation
applyPendingHmsTransfers was defined but never called, so POST /api/hms/tx/send accepted signed transfers that stayed pending forever. Wire the applier into AppendPoHBlock and the block import path next to the SUP call sites, reject From == To in ValidateHmsTransferShape (parity with the HMC lane and the report #30 SUP fix), and credit the recipient via SQL arithmetic with a self-send skip in the applier (same hardening the SUP applier received in 5c198bb). Stuck pre-existing hms_tx_pool rows fail the 24h freshness window on first apply and are rejected and cleaned automatically.

1. Followers miss settled token transfers 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
ImportPoHBlock applies transfers from its own local hms_tx_pool, although the imported block contains no transfer list or commitment to one. When the chain host settles a transfer and a follower imports that block without the same pool entry, both accept the same block hash but retain different HMS balances, nonces, and histories.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
Block import settles the follower's local HMS pool rather than the transfers settled by the chain host, so nodes accepting the same block can have different HMS ledger state.
## Fix Focus Areas

- internal/chain/service.go[748-756]
- internal/chain/hms_ledger.go[537-548]
- internal/block/types.go[11-23]
## Recommended Fix
Include the ordered HMS transfer set in canonical block data and its hash, propagate it with the block, and apply that verified set during import instead of selecting from the follower's local pool.

2. Recipients can lose funds to spaced addresses 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
ValidateHmsTransferShape and canonicalBytes use a trimmed recipient address, but settlement credits the untrimmed item.tx.To. A signed transfer to an address with trailing whitespace is accepted and now settles into a separate account that normal address lookup cannot find and whose balance the intended recipient cannot sign to spend.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
HMS signing and shape checks normalize recipient addresses, but the newly activated settlement writes the raw recipient address, potentially stranding transferred funds.
## Fix Focus Areas

- internal/chain/hms_ledger.go[115-129]
- internal/chain/hms_ledger.go[499-532]
- internal/chain/hms_ledger.go[599-605]
## Recommended Fix
Reject transfers whose raw recipient differs from its trimmed canonical address during validation, and ensure settlement uses the same validated address that was signed.

Apply only HMS transfers committed by the imported block.
P2P sync calls ImportPoHBlock, which drains this node’s pending hms_tx_pool rows instead of applying an HMS transaction set from the block. Nodes with different pending rows can therefore credit and debit different accounts and record different HMS history for the same imported block. Include the selected HMS transfers in the block and replay that set during import; keep local-pool settlement for local appends.

Merged as HMS settle is wired on block append/import and self-sends are rejected (parity with #30). Deploying to the hub coordinator with the #31 claim-mirror fix next. |

The signing payload and shape validation trim addresses, but settlement credits the raw tx strings, so a padded recipient settles into an account row no address lookup can find and strands the funds now that the applier is wired (merged in #26). Reject raw != trimmed in ValidateHmsTransferShape (submit and apply-time re-validation both use it). Tests: zz_hms_transfers_settle_test.go (padded-address submit table + seeded-row apply rejection; red on main bdc2ef2, green on this branch).

What
applyPendingHmsTransferswas defined but never called:POST /api/hms/tx/sendvalidated and accepted signed HMS transfers (status pending + tx hash) but no block path ever consumedhms_tx_pool, so accepted transfers stayed pending forever and balances never moved. The HMC and SUP lanes settle on the same block append; HMS now does too.ValidateHmsTransferShapedid not rejectFrom == To, and the unwired applier carried the same UPDATE-then-UPSERT self-send clobber the SUP lane had before report #30. Wiring the applier without this would have activated the mint, so the two changes ship together: self-sends are rejected at submit (invalid_address), and the applier credits via SQL arithmetic with a self-send skip — the same hardening the SUP applier received in 5c198bb.Changes

Full

hms_tx_poolrows fail the 24h freshness window on first apply and are rejected and deleted automatically, so wiring the applier doubles as the sweep.RecordShare/RecordSealSharenever count shares andFinalizeEpochSealPayoutshas no caller or admin route, so the documented 75/25 epoch split never executes andsettle_worker_hms.shalways sees an empty unfinalized view; (2) the stratummining.submitparams[0]worker-id override defeats the HMAC-bound seal attribution.
