Bounty: Fix Seed Word Import Mnemonic Error

Tier: S — 15,000 XTM

Description

The seed word import in Tari Universe fails when users enter words one per line (pressing Enter between words) instead of space-separated. The input parser reads newlines as part of the mnemonic and produces Mnemonic Error: Only ChineseSimplified, ChineseTraditional, English, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish are defined natural languages. Copy-pasting the full phrase also fails because the confirmation tick never becomes available. Fix the input handling to accept both newline-separated and space-separated seed words.

Acceptance Criteria

• Seed word import handles words entered one per line (newline-separated) in addition to space-separated
• Seed word import works correctly when copy-pasting the full phrase
• The confirmation tick becomes available once valid seed words are detected, regardless of whitespace format

Context

• Issue reported by @Triton-S
• The workaround is typing each word followed by a space (not Enter) — this works
• Platform: Windows 11, Remote Minotari node
• Relevant code: seed import UI component in the Universe Tauri frontend

How to Claim

1. Comment on this issue to signal intent (courtesy, not a lock)
2. Fork the repo and do the work
3. Submit a PR that meets the acceptance criteria
4. First PR that passes review and gets merged wins the bounty

Thanks for the report! We'll give it a try today and see if we can replicate the issue.

I tried each word and SPACE instead of ENTER and it successfully recovered the wallet

Ahhh, So the issue here is actually the formatting. The UX should help guide the proper format for this. Or not care about the entered formate. Either or would work. Right now it's probably reading the newlines and considering it invalid.

Description

Users encounter a mnemonic error when attempting to import seed words via the Tari Universe app. The seed input box expects words separated by spaces, but users are entering one word per line. This causes the error because the input is not parsed correctly. Copy-pasting the full seed phrase also fails — the confirmation tick never becomes available.

Error:

setError: Could not import seed words: Mnemonic Error: `Only ChineseSimplified, ChineseTraditional, English, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish are defined natural languages`

Platform: Windows 11 Professional, Remote Minotari node

Acceptance criteria

• Seed word import handles words entered one per line (newline-separated) in addition to space-separated
• Seed word import works correctly when copy-pasting the full phrase
• The confirmation tick becomes available once valid seed words are entered

Describe the bug
PROBLEM DURING SEED WALLET IMPORT

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. OPEN BRAND NEW TARI APP
2. MUST BE ON REMOTE MINOTARI USE NOT ANY OTHER(because I dont know if they too have problem)
3. TRY TO WRITE EACH WORD ONE AT A TIME IN THE SEED BOX
4. finally tap the tick icon that wasn't available before
5. now it asks you if you are sure
6. you proceed
7. an error pops up(ERROR IS AppWrapper-DKpkq21q.js:2 setError: Could not import seed words: Mnemonic Error: Only ChineseSimplified, ChineseTraditional, English, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish are defined natural languages)
8. IF I TRY SIMPLE copy paste also the tick never becomes available
   Expected behavior
   I expected the recovery would just accept more easily the seed words or had in place 24 fields instead of 1 so the process becomes easier

Screenshots
Sorry cant do

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS & Version: WINDOWS 11 professional
