Pull request overview
Fixes a panic scenario in saveData when the save queue is full by adjusting the queue-full path so the mutex is not unlocked twice and pending-save state is handled for retries.
Changes:
- Updates the queue-full (
default) branch in the save-all loop to clean uppendingSaveswhen enqueue fails. - Ensures control flow exits the iteration after the queue-full path, avoiding a second unlock in that iteration.

- PR description says the
defaultcase no longer unlocks and that the mutex unlock happens “exactly once per iteration at line 119”, but the current diff still unlocks insidedefaultand unlocks at line 123 on the success/skip paths. Please update the PR description (or adjust the code) so the stated behavior matches the implementation.

Queue-full handling is improved here, but saveData(contractHash != "") still does a blocking saveQueue <- contractHash while holding saveQueueMutex (see lines ~96-102). If the channel is full, that goroutine blocks holding the mutex; the worker goroutine needs the same mutex to delete(pendingSaves, ...) after processing, so it can deadlock (worker blocks on mutex and stops draining the channel, sender blocks on full channel). Consider never holding saveQueueMutex across a channel send: e.g., check/mark under the mutex, unlock, then do a non-blocking send (and on failure re-lock and unmark), or use the same select { case saveQueue <- ...: ... default: ... } pattern for the single-contract path too.

delete(pendingSaves, contractHash) in the default branch is currently a no-op because this branch is only reached when !pendingSaves[contractHash] and the map entry is never set to true before the select. This makes the inline comment misleading and adds confusion. Either remove the delete(...) and adjust the comment, or set pendingSaves[contractHash]=true before attempting to enqueue and only delete(...) on enqueue failure.

The
saveDatafunction had a double unlock bug: when the save queue was full, the mutex unlocked in the default case, thenbreakexited only the select (not the for loop), causing line 120 to unlock again—panic.Changes:
