Deprecate the Botanix asset by making it keys-only, date-gated to take effect on July 9, 2026. On and after that date keysOnlyMode becomes true for botanix: existing Botanix wallets remain accessible (keys-only, view/export) but new Botanix wallets can no longer be created. Before the date the asset is unaffected.

The mechanism is generic, not Botanix-specific. A reusable isKeysOnlyModeDate(date) helper returns true once the current time reaches the given date. botanix.keysOnlyMode is a getter that calls it, so the flag re-evaluates on each read and flips at the cutover without an app restart (the same dynamic-keysOnlyMode pattern as zcash and piratechain). Any future asset can be deprecated on a date by giving its entry the same getter. The helper is a hoisted function rather than a module-level const because SPECIAL_CURRENCY_INFO reads it during module initialization.

WalletListModal builds its keys-only exclude list per render inside useMemo instead of once at import, so the date-gated flag is honored mid-session.

Changes:

• Generic isKeysOnlyModeDate(date) helper next to isZecBroken().
• botanix.keysOnlyMode getter calling isKeysOnlyModeDate(new Date('2026-07-09')).
• WalletListModal computes the keys-only exclude list per render.
• Unit tests for the date helper (before, on, after the date) and the getter re-evaluation.

Once active, the flag flows through the existing create-wallet filter (isKeysOnlyPlugin removes keys-only assets from the create-wallet list).

Testing

• tsc --noEmit: clean.
• verify-repo.sh full suite and jest: passed (399 tests).
• Unit tests: isKeysOnlyModeDate is false before 2026-07-09 and true on/after; the botanix.keysOnlyMode getter re-evaluates per read. Passing.
• iOS simulator (proxy): built, installed, and ran the app. Botanix's plugin is disabled by default (BOTANIX_INIT: false) and enabling it crashes the debug build, and the gate is not active until 2026-07-09, so Botanix itself is not runnable in the sim today. Verified the identical keys-only create-wallet exclusion the gate feeds via the bitcoinsv proxy (hardcoded-enabled and keysOnlyMode: true): searching "Bitcoin SV" in "Choose Wallets to Add" yields no creatable result, while "Bitcoin" returns creatable BTC/BCH variants. Screenshots attached. The date logic itself is covered by the unit tests.

Note

Low Risk
Time-gated UI filtering for one asset using an established keys-only pattern; no auth or payment logic changes.

Overview
Botanix is scheduled to enter keys-only mode on July 9, 2026: existing wallets stay viewable/exportable, but new Botanix wallets are blocked from the create-wallet flow via the existing isKeysOnlyPlugin filtering.

The cutover uses a reusable isKeysOnlyModeDate(date) helper and a botanix.keysOnlyMode getter (not a fixed boolean) so the flag re-evaluates on each read and can flip mid-session without restarting the app.

WalletListModal now builds the keys-only exclude list inside useMemo on each render instead of once at import, so the same date-gated behavior applies when picking wallets. Unit tests cover the date helper and getter re-evaluation; CHANGELOG notes the deprecation.
