Issue Title Status in this PR
#1502 [Stellar] Add contract ID checksum and format validation Implemented
#1504 [Frontend] Add locale-aware date and time formatting Not implemented
#1505 [Frontend] Add translation completeness checks for dynamic errors Not implemented
#1507 [Frontend] Add wallet disconnect state recovery Implemented

Per the assignment, this PR implements 2 of the 4 assigned issues. The two not
implemented are referenced with Closes so tracking stays accurate, but they are
not fixed here and a maintainer should close them manually rather than relying
on the merge.

On the two not implemented

  • [Frontend] Add locale-aware date and time formatting #1504 (locale-aware dates): touches five or more components —
    receipts/[txHash]/page.tsx, BasisPointsPieChart.tsx,
    CreateSplitWizardLegacy.tsx, DashboardView.tsx, ManageSplitView.tsx — and
    needs a per-locale formatting policy agreed with product. Standardising these in
    one pass without that decision risks changing how every timestamp in the product
    renders.
  • [Frontend] Add translation completeness checks for dynamic errors #1505 (translation completeness): already implemented on main.
    frontend/scripts/check-i18n-keys.mjs checks locale parity against the base
    locale, empty values, required wizard validation keys, and placeholder-argument
    matching ({remaining}, {over}). Running it against the current tree shows
    en and fr at 38 keys each with zero drift in either direction.

#1502 — contract ID checksum and format validation

The problem

CONTRACT_ID was validated with a regex and nothing else:

.regex(/^C[A-Z2-7]{55}$/, "CONTRACT_ID must be a valid Stellar contract address");

That is a format check, not a validity check. A Stellar StrKey carries a
trailing CRC-16 checksum over its own payload, so a value can satisfy the regex
perfectly and still be rejected by the network. The failure surfaced late and
opaquely: startup succeeded, the process came up healthy, and then the first real
call returned "contract not found".

The fix

Adds StrKey.isValidContract alongside the existing regex. The regex is kept
deliberately, so the two failure modes produce different messages — wrong shape
versus well-formed-but-checksum-mismatched — because they need different advice.

The checksum message says what to do rather than restating the constraint:

Copy it from the explorer or stellar contract list rather than transcribing it
— a single wrong character passes a format check and then fails on-chain.

must match /^C[A-Z2-7]{55}$/ does not help anyone diagnose a typo. The single
wrong character is the actual cause.

Test fixtures

Two existing fixtures were well-formed but checksum-invalid, and both call
validateEnv(), so they would have failed on this change:

File Old value Verdict
backend/src/config/env.test.ts C + 55 As checksum 0000, computed 5cc8
backend/src/__tests__/cors.test.ts CBLASIRZ7C…H2LR checksum mismatch

Both are replaced with StrKey.encodeContract(Buffer.alloc(32, 7)) rather than
hand-written literals, so the fixture cannot drift from what a real contract ID
looks like. This is the same call splits.compatibility.test.ts:16 already uses.

database.test.ts and database-pool-exhaustion.test.ts carry the same invalid
value but never call validateEnv() — they only stub process.env. They are
left alone; changing them would be unrelated churn.

#1507 — wallet disconnect state recovery

The problem

Account changes were handled. Disconnects were silently dropped.

if (fresh.connected && fresh.address !== state.wallet.address) {

When the user disconnects, fresh.connected is false, so the condition is
false and nothing dispatches. State keeps connected: true and the previous
address indefinitely.

Three consequences:

  1. Stale balances stay on screen, belonging to an account the user has left.
  2. Actions scoped to the old account stay reachable.
  3. The reconnect toast in wallet-provider.tsx can never fire — it keys off
    !walletState.wallet.connected, which is exactly the flag that was never
    updated.

This is not caught by a second listener: lib/wallet.ts registers no wallet event
listeners at all, so this 2s poll is the only thing watching for the change.

The fix

Flips the guard so a disconnect takes the same RESET path as a switch:

if (!fresh.connected || fresh.address !== state.wallet.address) {

RESET returns initialState (connected: false, address: null), which clears
the stale balances. Account-switch handling is unchanged.


Files changed

File Issue
backend/src/config/env.ts #1502
backend/src/config/env.test.ts #1502 (fixture)
backend/src/__tests__/cors.test.ts #1502 (fixture)
frontend/src/hooks/useWallet.ts #1507

The two fixture files are unavoidable: they call validateEnv(), so leaving them
would mean shipping a change that breaks the existing suite.

Verification

Dependencies are not installed and no tests were executed, per the task
constraint. Verified by inspection:

  • @stellar/stellar-sdk@14.6.1 is a backend dependency and StrKey is already
    imported by backend/src/schemas/user.schemas.ts.
  • Fixtures that call validateEnv() were found by grepping every CONTRACT_ID
    literal in backend/src — database.test.ts,
    database-pool-exhaustion.test.ts, deploy-config.test.ts and
    utils/deploy-config.test.ts do not, and were left untouched.
  • The invalid-checksum claim was confirmed by re-implementing StrKey's CRC-16
    decode and checking each fixture against its own payload.
  • lib/wallet.ts registers no event listeners, confirming the poll is the sole
    detection path.
  • SIMULATOR_ACCOUNT: "test_account" is validated with .min(1) only, so the
    cors.test.ts env block is otherwise unaffected.

…wallet disconnects

Split-Naira#1502 — CONTRACT_ID was checked with /^C[A-Z2-7]{55}$/ and nothing else. That is
a format check, not a validity check: a StrKey carries a trailing CRC-16
checksum over its own payload, so a value can satisfy the regex and still be
rejected by the network. The failure surfaced late and opaquely — startup
succeeded, then the first real call returned 'contract not found'.

Adds StrKey.isValidContract alongside the existing regex, keeping the regex so
the two failure modes get distinct messages: wrong shape versus well-formed but
checksum-mismatched. The second message says what to do (copy it, don't
transcribe it) rather than restating the constraint, because a single wrong
character is the actual cause and 'must match /^C...$/' does not help anyone
diagnose that.

Two existing fixtures were well-formed but checksum-invalid, and both call
validateEnv(), so they would have failed on this change. Replaced with
StrKey.encodeContract(Buffer.alloc(32, 7)) rather than hand-written literals, so
the fixture cannot drift from what a real contract ID looks like. Fixtures in
database.test.ts and database-pool-exhaustion.test.ts carry the same invalid
value but never call validateEnv(), so they are left alone — changing them would
be unrelated churn.

Split-Naira#1507 — account changes were handled; disconnections were silently dropped.
The poll's guard required fresh.connected, so when the user disconnected the
condition was false and nothing dispatched. State kept connected: true and the
previous address indefinitely. Three consequences: stale balances stayed on
screen, actions scoped to the old account stayed reachable, and the reconnect
toast in wallet-provider.tsx could never fire because it keys off exactly that
flag. lib/wallet.ts registers no wallet event listeners, so this poll is the only
thing watching for the change — there was no second path to catch it.

Flips the guard to !fresh.connected ||, so a disconnect takes the same RESET path
as a switch. Account-switch handling is unchanged.

Not run: dependencies not installed and no tests executed, per the task
constraint. Verified by reading lib/wallet.ts (no listeners registered) and
wallet-provider.tsx (toast keys off wallet.connected).
