When a transaction paying to a key just outside the look-ahead keypool appears before a pool-expanding transaction in the same block, the wallet currently fails to recognize the first transaction. The PR introduces a prefix re-scan pass over the block up to the last pool expansion point and adds a dedicated regression test.",
  "problem": "Descriptor wallet rescans (`rescanblockchain`, `importdescriptors`, `restorewallet`) evaluate transactions in block order. If a transaction paying to a key beyond the current look-ahead pool precedes a transaction that expands the pool within the same block, the earlier transaction is ignored and the wallet reports an incorrect balance without warning.",
