Keep signature-verified IS locks pending until their transactions arrive, then reprocess them through SyncTransaction. Force immediate re-requests and bypass recent rejection caching so a missing or previously rejected transaction can replace mempool conflicts and become mineable. Preserve ChainLock precedence and defer permanent block invalidation until the locked transaction is known. Notify lock completion and refresh block templates even when the wallet is disabled. Backport Dash PR #4147, commit 3b8b3e254aa3b95a2fda0bde702d3f2880fb99fb, and adapt forced re-requesting from Dash commit 4bfc20cb6782da74f92ac99fbac4c7eebbe34192 to Firo's request queues. Bound recovery requests to four peers. Add lock-before-transaction regressions for both an outstanding request and a prior mempool-conflict rejection. Verify immediate re-request, conflict replacement, InstantSend completion, mining and ChainLocking. Validation: regression fails on the unpatched comparison binary and passes on this build; llmq-is-cl-conflicts.py, llmq-is-retroactive.py, llmq-is-spark.py and 10 mempool/quorum unit cases pass.

Complete pending locks from block callbacks
When a node running with -txindex=0 first learns the locked transaction in a connected block, this moves only the lock and discards the transaction supplied to SyncTransaction. The worker subsequently calls GetTransaction(..., fAllowSlow=false) after ConnectTip has removed the transaction from the mempool, so without the transaction index it cannot retrieve the block transaction and puts the lock back into pendingNoTxInstantSendLocks; no later callback completes it, leaving IsLocked false and omitting lock notifications. Pass the transaction through to lock completion or otherwise support the block-only lookup.

Preserve InstantSend bookkeeping when evicting conflicts
When a previously unknown locked transaction arrives while a conflicting transaction is in the mempool, these calls remove the conflict before the lock worker runs, but unlike RemoveMempoolConflictsForLock they never call RemoveConflictedTx. The worker then finds no mempool conflict to clean up, so the evicted transaction remains indefinitely in nonLockedTxs, nonLockedTxsByInputs, and the input-request tracking structures; HandleFullyConfirmedBlock also cannot remove it because its pindexMined is null. Route these removals through the InstantSend cleanup path or notify SyncTransaction for the removed entries.

Lock the mempool before removing ProTx conflicts
In the lock-before-transaction path this calls CTxMemPool::removeProTxConflicts without holding pool.cs. That method directly reads mapProTxRefs, mapProTxCollaterals, mapProTxAddresses, mapTx, and related indices without acquiring the lock itself; its only pre-existing caller is removeForBlock, which already holds cs. A concurrent mempool reader or mutation can therefore race these container accesses and invalidate iterators or crash the node whenever a pending locked transaction is accepted. Hold pool.cs across this removal, as the established caller does.

Remove pending descendant locks after a ChainLock conflict
When a ChainLock overrides an unknown parent transaction whose IS lock is pending, this erases only that exact pending hash. If another pending IS lock spends an output of the parent, RemoveChainedInstantSendLocks cannot discover it because pending locks were deliberately not written to the database, so the descendant remains indefinitely in pendingNoTxInstantSendLocks even though its parent can never be accepted. It will continue to be served, bypass rejection caching, and retain memory; traverse and erase pending descendants as well as database-backed descendants.

Keep conflicting blocks disconnected until the transaction arrives
For an unknown locked transaction, resetting the failure flags immediately makes the just-disconnected conflicting chain eligible again while the pending lock is not present in the database and GetConflictingLock therefore cannot reject that chain. Any subsequent ActivateBestChain—for example when the next block arrives or a peer sends getblocks—can reconnect the conflicting spend before the locked transaction body arrives. The locked transaction then fails mempool admission with missing inputs, so SyncTransaction never requeues its IS lock and recovery is permanently defeated. Retain a temporary block exclusion until the transaction is available, or make block validation honor the pending lock.

Keep pending-lock conflicts out of candidate activation.
When the locked transaction is unknown, InvalidateBlock disconnects the active conflicting block, and ResetBlockFailureFlags can reinsert that block and its descendants into setBlockIndexCandidates. A later ProcessNewBlock call invokes ActivateBestChain, which can select that branch.
ConnectBlock does not prevent the reconnection. GetConflictingLock checks only the persisted lock database, while the unknown lock remains in pendingNoTxInstantSendLocks.
After reconnection, the locked transaction can fail mempool acceptance with missing inputs. The failed acceptance does not emit SyncTransaction, so the pending lock is not promoted. This can leave nodes that received the transaction on the permanently invalidated chain while other nodes return to the conflicting chain.
Exclude branches that conflict with pending locks from candidate activation. Do not rely only on the ConnectBlock filter, because rejecting the branch there can permanently invalidate it before the locked transaction is known. The existing regression sends the locked transaction immediately after checking good_tip; add coverage that activates a new block before sending the locked transaction.

Clear Spark conflicts for pending InstantSend locks.
The Spark checks at src/validation.cpp:949-971 reject a transaction that conflicts with a mempool linking tag or Spark name. They run before the IsWaitingForTx(hash) branch at src/validation.cpp:1051-1054.
For a waiting Spark transaction, remove conflicting Spark mempool entries by linking tag and Spark name before returning txn-mempool-conflict. Use GetMempoolConflictingTxHash and removeRecursive, while preserving the existing Spark parsing and validity checks. Add a Spark regression test.

PR intention
Recover transactions when their InstantSend lock arrives before the transaction body. Previously, Firo recorded the lock as complete and only requested the missing transaction when removing a mempool conflict. An outstanding request or a cached rejection could also prevent recovery, leaving a node with the lock but no transaction to mine.
Backports Dash #4147: Do not consider islocks with unknown txes as complete (commit 3b8b3e2), with forced re-requesting adapted from Dash commit 4bfc20c.
This restores transaction recovery and lock completion; it does not introduce a next-block inclusion requirement.
