+# Mint quote recovery: scope and troubleshooting
+
+`routstrd wallet recover` explicitly retries mint operations through coco using
+**their existing stored outputs**. It can restore signatures when a quote is
+already issued, and reopen failed operations when explicitly requested:
+
+```sh
+routstrd history --json
+routstrd wallet recover --op <operationId> --include-failed
+```
+
+Failed operations require explicit IDs over both HTTP and the CLI. A successful
+re-run on an already finalized operation is a no-op. Requests that exceed their
+wait budget are not cancelled; explicit retries skip the operation while the
+underlying work is outstanding.
+
+## What this fixes—and what it does not
+
+Coco already checks pending quotes on startup and the daemon periodically
+refreshes them. A quote paid while the daemon was offline does not, by itself,
+require a new issuance implementation.
+
+This change makes normal cleanup confirm UNPAID with the mint before failing an
+expired quote. PAID, ISSUED and unverified quotes remain pending. It also gives
+operators a recovery path for operations previously marked failed.
+
+It does **not** replace rejected outputs with fresh outputs on an active keyset.
+An inactive-keyset rejection can therefore remain retryable with zero recovery.
+Recovery reports coco's persisted mint error when available, rather than only a
+generic “remains pending” error.
+
+Do not infer that the production incidents were caused by keyset retirement.
+Before claiming those incidents are fixed, collect:
+
+- The affected operation IDs, quote IDs, state and persisted `error`.
+- A fresh remote quote state and, where provided, paid/issued amounts.
+- The keyset IDs in the stored outputs and the mint's current keyset metadata.
+- A reproduction showing existing recovery fails and the proposed fix succeeds.
+
+Inspect persisted operation data through a read-only database copy; do not edit
+rows or run recovery scripts concurrently with a daemon against the same wallet.
+Never share the mnemonic, output secrets, or full wallet database in a PR.
+
+A future fresh-output path must preserve original outputs for uncertain issuance
+and NUT-09 restore, allocate fresh deterministic counters safely, and coordinate
+with coco's watcher/processor. It needs its own integration tests before handling
+real funds.
+
+## Cleanup preview and force
+
+`wallet cleanup --dry-run` is local-only: it reports `mintQuoteCandidates`, not
+confirmed failures. `failedMintQuotes` and `leftForRecovery` are zero because no
+mint check or cleanup transition was performed. Send/melt counts remain planned
+cleanup counts in dry-run mode.
+
+`--force` deliberately bypasses mint confirmation and can strand paid sats in a
+failed operation. Prefer normal cleanup. Forced operations can be retried with
+`--op <operationId> --include-failed`, but recovery still depends on the mint
+accepting their stored outputs or restoring their signatures.
+
+## Integration and release notes
+
+The reopen helper uses private coco-core 1.0.1 methods. Retain real-Manager and
+HTTP fake-mint coverage, use frozen dependency installs, and re-run integration
+tests on coco upgrades. A controlled low-value live-mint smoke test remains
+recommended before release.
+
+PR #118 removes `cocod-client.ts`. When integrating that change, move recovery
+and cleanup contracts into its replacement `wallet-client.ts`, rename HTTP error
+references accordingly, and make recovery mandatory for the in-process client.
+This follow-up does not pull in #118's unrelated removal.

+ *   partial object would be rejected by the NOT NULL schema or, on a more
+ *   permissive adapter, erase the stored outputs.
+ * - The read-check-write runs under coco's per-operation lock, the same lock
+ *   coco's execute/finalize/recover paths take. Reloading alone only narrows
+ *   the race: without the lock two concurrent recoveries could both see
+ *   `failed` and the slower one would clobber a newer state.
+ *
+ * The lock is fail-fast rather than wait-based: coco's `OperationIdLock.acquire`
+ * throws `OperationInProgressError` when the id is already locked. So either
+ * this helper holds the lock - and coco's own execute/finalize/recover paths
+ * cannot interleave, because acquiring would throw for them too - or it throws
+ * and writes nothing. It never waits, and never writes without the lock, which
+ * is why a stale `failed` snapshot cannot clobber a newer state.
+ *
+ * Scope of that lock, in this coco version: `recordPendingObservation` and
+ * `failPendingOperation` write without taking it. The justified claim is
+ * therefore narrow - a re-open cannot clobber a concurrent executing/recovery
+ * pass - not a general guarantee against every watcher write.
+ *
+ * This is a compatibility shim over private coco internals, so it fails closed:
+ * if any of the expected methods are missing it throws before writing. That
+ * check only catches removals, not changed behaviour under the same name: it
+ * was written against @cashu/coco-core 1.0.1, so any coco bump must re-run the
+ * real-Manager and fake-mint integration tests. The long-term fix is an
+ * upstream public `reopenFailedOperation(id)` that takes the same lock, reloads

+ * Pure helpers for PAID mint-quote recovery.
+ *
+ * A mint quote can be PAID at the mint while its local operation is still
+ * `pending` (the Lightning payment landed before expiry while the daemon was
+ * down, so no local observation was ever recorded) or even terminally
+ * `failed` (coco gives up when the mint refuses to sign, for example after the
+ * invoice expiry). Claimability still depends on the mint accepting issuance.
+ * This feature retries the stored outputs or restores their signatures; it
+ * does not regenerate outputs rejected by the mint (for example an inactive
+ * keyset). coco already reconciles pending paid quotes at startup and in the
+ * periodic sweep. The new capability is operator-targeted recovery, including
+ * explicitly reopening failed operations, alongside safer cleanup.
+ *
+ * Recovery asks the mint what it thinks, then retries issuance or restore. These helpers decide *what* to do from a remote observation; the
+ * actual state transitions are applied by the in-process coco wallet client
+ * so coco-core's operation services emit their normal events and release
+ * proof reservations. Keeping the decisions here makes them unit testable
+ * without a wallet database or network access.
