| LOW-1 — switch cleanup affects newer shared-cookie context | Retain the original flow nonce; automatic cleanup sends `expectedNonce`, or `expectedAddress` when only a displayed session is available. No assertion means no automatic logout. Nonce/address are consistency assertions, not authority. The server requires the matching token for revocation and preserves a different current pending flow. Successful or refused cleanup reconciles the cookie when needed; identical address/expiry is not treated as session identity. | Account/provider switches with newer B, newer same-wallet A, pending-only replacement; wrong/missing/forged/dead authority; pruned original challenge; original-flow-only cancellation; delayed completion with a new same-address/expiry session. |

Low — accepted recovery session revoked during normal teardown.
Atsrc/world/auth.ts:419, recovery accepts valid PRESENT, clears retained cleanup responsibility, installs the session, and awaits its home read. Stopping during that read changes the generation. When the read settles,reconcileVerifynevertheless sends nonce-bound logout.Reproduced at
T=1790596800000: committed verify → malformed body → valid PRESENT → held home response → stop → release. One prompt; sessions change from created/live/revoked1/1/0to1/0/1; session cookie disappears; subsequent session GET returns false. The challenge remains used, with zero pending or invalidated challenges. No post-stop UI/channel updates or timers occur. Member records are N/A because no member route runs.The identical test passes on the public parent; the valid-verify-body control also passes on the repaired snapshot. This is a regression affecting LOW-2 / R4-02 / AUD4-06. Cleanup must distinguish unresolved abandonment from an already accepted recovery. It blocks complete closure of that control, without establishing fund loss.

Low — nonce-bound cleanup accepts already-dead session authority.
Atserver/auth.ts:632, token-and-nonce matching omits revocation and expiry checks. Matching revoked tokens return 204 with a session-cookie clear; matching expired tokens additionally acquirerevoked_at.Reproduced through real local routes: sign in A on two devices → logout-all A from the second device → send matching-nonce cleanup using the first device’s now-dead cookie → hold its response → sign in B and create B’s pending challenge → deliver the old response. B’s browser session cookie disappears; session GET returns false. Database sessions remain
3/1/2, preserving B’s live row. Challenges remain three used, one pending, zero invalidated; B’s flow cookie survives. The expiry variant also fails.UI/channel/timers are N/A for this server-only probe; setup uses local EOA signatures without wallet prompts. This affects LOW-1 / R4-02 / AUD4-06, related to AUD3-06. It differs from the acknowledged transport limitation: A was already dead before handling, so the clear could have been refused. Require live matching authority while preserving explicit
/logout {}semantics.
The independent four-Low closure matrix is:

LOW-2 remains partly open — accepted recovery can be revoked during teardown.
source/src/world/auth.ts:419: verify commits A but returns malformed JSON; recovery accepts PRESENT A, clears cleanup responsibility, then waits for the house response. Stop during that wait, then release the response: the old continuation nevertheless sends nonce-conditioned logout. Independently measured one prompt, one created session, zero live, one revoked, cookie cleared; the challenge remains used. Post-stop UI/channel/hint/timer changes were zero. Valid-verify and completed-recovery controls preserve A. This blocks full LOW-2 closure. -
LOW-1 remains partly open — dead matching tokens authorize conditional cookie clearing.
source/server/auth.ts:632: the token/nonce query omits expiry and revocation predicates. Process a captured A cleanup request after A becomes dead and B is installed: the server returns 204 and emits a fresh session-cookie clear. Expired A also receives arevoked_atwrite. Applying the response removes B’s browser cookie, although B’s session row and pending challenge survive. This differs from the acknowledged delivery of a clear already emitted while A was live. It blocks the requested dead-token boundary closure. -
Additional pre-existing Low — backward clock corrections extend public-name caching.
source/src/world/member.ts:194: cachePriorNameat1790000000000, change the server response toNewName, move wall time backward three days, then elapse 60,001 ms. The one-minute cache still returnsPriorNamewithout another GET. The normal 60,000-ms control refreshes correctly. This affects presentation freshness, including renamed/moderated names; it grants no authority and does not reopen the repaired cooldown finding.
Each JSON finding contains its exact snippet, concrete reproduction, impact, controls or supporting argument, and fixture limitations.
Four-Low closure matrix
Prior Low Independent before/after result Verdict LOW-1 / R4-02 / AUD4-06 Parent account/provider switch revoked newer B and invalidated its pending challenge. Current nonce cleanup returns 409, preserving both: sessions 2 created/2 live/0 revoked, pending 1, one prompt. Matching-A control still revokes A. Dead-original-token gap remains. Partly LOW-2 / R4-02 / AUD4-06 Parent stop during unresolved recovery left A live. Current cleanup produces 1 created/0 live/1 revoked, cookie cleared, no post-stop UI effects. Normal accepted-session stop preserves A, but accepted-PRESENT/pending-house ordering fails. Partly LOW-3 / CORR-02 Parent recovery {}permitted a second prompt/session. Current stays UNKNOWN and GETs first. Invalid schema/expiry/transport probes retain one prompt/session; valid PRESENT restores without another prompt.Fixed locally LOW-4 / R4-08 / AUD4-08 Parent backward-clock correction delayed reconciliation. Current monotonic deadline triggers GET, remains cooling until valid confirmation, and retries failures after 60 seconds. Early/late/stale callbacks and account changes passed synthetic checks. Fixed locally R5 matrix — nine retest rows, not nine findings

Public-name cache retains stale names after backward wall-clock correctionssource/src/world/member.ts:194
The one-minute public-name cache uses Date.now subtraction without handling a backward clock correction. Negative ages remain below NAME_TTL_MS, extending stale cached names for the size of the correction. lookupName at line209 uses the same comparison, so reopening a house panel also returns the stale entry. A renamed or moderated profile can continue displaying its old name until wall time catches up, eviction, or reload.
This is a pre-existing numerical/time-boundary defect, independently verified after the four-Low review; it is not a regression introduced by the pinned repair and does not reopen LOW-4 cooldown closure. Low non-blocking presentation/freshness impact: names do not authorize houses, writes or assets. Use monotonic cache age or invalidate entries when wall time moves backward.

#1548Audit permissionsCodex3 findings · 3 lowRecorded three substantiated Low findings in .imd-findings.json. Source and configuration files remain unchanged.
- Accepted recovery session revoked after teardown —
source/src/world/auth.ts:419. Valid PRESENT clears cleanup responsibility, but teardown during the following house read makes its late completion revoke the accepted session. Restarting can leave the new UI displaying that revoked session. - Dead tokens accepted by nonce-bound cleanup —
source/server/auth.ts:632. A matching expired/revoked token returns 204 with a session-cookie clear. Delayed headers can erase a subsequently installed B cookie; B’s server session remains live. - Account switch retains an old waiting sign-in click —
source/src/world/auth.ts:469. While the initial session GET is pending, switching A→B leaves the click active and subsequently prompts B. The equivalent provider switch cancels it. This also reproduces at the parent commit.
These block the corresponding closure controls, not establish fund loss or an authentication bypass. Each JSON finding contains its exact snippet, inputs, event ordering, effects, controls, limitations, and suggested repair.
The independent four-Low verdict is:
Prior Low Parent → current measurement Verdict LOW-1 Parent switch revokes newer B and invalidates its pending challenge. Current switch preserves both; dead-token control still fails. Partly LOW-2 Parent teardown leaves uncertain A live. Current teardown cleans unresolved A, but late house completion can revoke already accepted A. Partly LOW-3 Parent malformed recovery permits two prompts/sessions. Current remains UNKNOWN, rereads first, and retains one prompt/session.

#1602Audit flowCodex1 finding · 1 lowSaved one substantiated Low finding to .imd-findings.json. LOW-2 remains partly fixed; the other three original counterexamples are fixed locally. Tracked repository files remain unchanged.
Remaining defect: source/src/world/auth.ts:263 clears uncertain-flow responsibility when an overlapping session read returns, even when that read predates verify’s commit.
At synthetic
T=1790596800000, I reproduced this ordering through the registered channel callback:- Hold verify before processing. Start a session read that observes
signedIn:false, and hold its response. - Let the real Worker verify the generated EOA signature and install its cookie; keep verify’s response body pending.
- Deliver the earlier absence response. The client discards the retained nonce.
- Stop the client while JavaScript continues running.
Actual result: zero cleanup requests, one prompt, sessions created/live/revoked 1/1/0, and challenges pending/used/invalidated 0/1/0. The cookie remains valid while the UI is idle with no displayed session. A subsequent local bootstrap/profile PUT succeeded, producing profile version 1 and one history/outcome row.
The control without the overlapping read revoked immediately, despite the same pending verify body: 1/0/1 sessions. Releasing the body later also cleaned up the failing case. Both cases closed the channel, retained no timers, and made no post-stop UI/hint updates.
This blocks full LOW-2 closure. Preserve cleanup responsibility until reconciliation is ordered after the unresolved verify. It is distinct from cleanup being impossible after process termination.

.imd-findings.json.Verdict on the four Low repairs (measured against the pinned commit with the real Worker, migrations and
AuthClientover node:sqlite, in a scratch copy with locked dependencies):- LOW-1: partly fixed. Switch preservation, no-assertion-no-logout and pending-only cases hold. The
expectedNoncebranch of the server logout still accepts a revoked or expired matching token, answers 204 and emits a session-cookie clear. A delayed such answer removed a newer B cookie in the same jar. Retained from the parent. - LOW-2: partly fixed. Teardown now sends nonce-bound cleanup for a held or failed uncertain read, and the lifetime guard stops old-lifetime UI writes. Two gaps remain. A session read generated before verify committed releases the retained nonce, so teardown sends nothing while the verify body stalls. Separately, an accepted PRESENT followed by a stop during the house read gets revoked by the late branch. The second one is new in this repair: the parent passes the same test.
- LOW-3: fixed locally. Only the two tagged schemas are confirmed, everything else stays unknown, and the next click reads before it prompts.
- LOW-4: fixed locally. Server time is anchored to a monotonic elapsed value, timers only schedule a refresh, and failed refreshes retry after a positive delay.
Specialist findings: all nine reproduced. The three line-419 reports and the three line-632 reports were merged into one finding each. The account-switch preflight cancellation gap and the public-name cache wall-clock comparison also reproduced and are kept, the latter at info severity. One additional info entry carries the R5 matrix, regression status and limits.
