fix: never abort release after settle when child-order setup fails - #873
Conversation
On a sell range with a remainder, a Release without a NextTrade payload made handle_child_order return Err, which was propagated with ? from release_action *after* the seller hold invoice had already been settled and the buyer notified Released. do_payment never ran, the order stayed settled-hold-invoice with failed_payment = false (invisible to the failed-payment retry job), and re-Release was rejected by the status gate — the buyer had sent fiat but the settled sats were stuck in Mostro's wallet with no protocol path to pay them out. Treat child-order setup failures like the adjacent get_child_order error arm: log, resolve the maker bond at close (no remainder exists), and continue to the buyer payout. Also persist the child order before publishing its event so a persistence failure can no longer leave a ghost order on the public book. Adds a regression test for the Ok(get_child_order) + handle_child_order-fails path, which the existing child-failure test did not cover.

When child setup reaches enqueue_order_msg but child_order.create(pool) fails (for example, because of a transient SQLite error), handle_child_order has already queued an Action::NewOrder notification. This new error branch treats the operation as having no remainder, resolves the maker bond, and returns success, but the scheduler can still deliver a NewOrder payload whose order ID does not exist in the database. Persist the child before enqueueing its notification, or explicitly retract the queued message before continuing.

Fixed in 9e8c1b6 — handle_child_order now validates the notification pubkey, persists the child order with create, and only then enqueues Action::NewOrder, so a failed insert can no longer leave a queued message referencing a nonexistent row.

Addresses review feedback (Codex P2, CodeRabbit Major): enqueue_order_msg ran before child_order.create, so a failed insert could still deliver a NewOrder message referencing a row that does not exist. Validate the notification pubkey first, persist the child order, then enqueue.

On a sell range order with a remainder, a
