Bitkit crash on reset wallet after migration [`(tokio-runtime-worker) hit a Rust panic! from an unwrap() failure`]

[piotr-iohk]

Steps to reproduce:

• I had wallet in RN app with some balance and regular channel, some trasnactions were tagged.
• migrated the wallet successfuly (although tags not fully migrated Tags not fully migrated #370)
• Went to reset the wallet (Settings > Backup or Restore > Reset wallet)

Actual
Wallet crashed.

What happened (root cause)

The app terminated with SIGABRT because Thread 26 (tokio-runtime-worker) hit a Rust panic! from an unwrap() failure, and your build is effectively panic=abort (or otherwise aborting on panic), so the whole app dies.

Key frames:
	•	core::result::unwrap_failed
	•	ldk_node::logger::Writer as LogWriter::log
	•	triggered while syncing:
	•	lightning_transaction_sync::electrum::ElectrumSyncClient::get_confirmed_tx
	•	...get_confirmed_transactions
	•	...sync

Even better: the error string is visible in the crashed thread registers (x12..x15). Decoded, it’s:

e: "No such file or directory" }

So: your logger tried to write/open something on disk, got ENOENT, and then unwrap() panicked.

Expected
Wallet should reset

Need fix in rust side, we can’t even catch panic’s

This is likely a debug only issue (for now). We are wiping logs on wallet reset, but the node may still be running and trying to log something while it is shutting down.

Just to note: seems to be reproducible quite reliably.
