• 1.lowA Letterbox constructor refusal (the Sepolia mint flag or a foreign oracle asset on chain id 1) makes deployLetterbox revert forever; no on-chain guard or rehearsal catches it before the launch landssrc/PleaLaunch.sol:138

          if (deployed == address(0)) revert LetterboxDeployFailed();

  The Letterbox's settings are checked only inside its own constructor (MintOnMainnet, OracleAssetNotImd, MintWithPoolImd, OracleAssetMismatch; src/Letterbox.sol lines 174-182), which runs after the launch, inside PleaLaunch.deployLetterbox. letterboxCodeHash, oracleAsset and mintOracleFee are immutable, the Letterbox takes no constructor arguments, and PLEA.setLetterbox is one-shot through the launcher, so a manifest whose Letterbox settings the constructor refuses launches the five contracts normally, passes IMD's rehearsal on a bare EVM with chain id 1 (the Letterbox is not in the manifest), passes seed()'s chain-1 guard (it checks only SEASON and DEADMAN) and opens trading; every later deployLetterbox(creationCode) then reverts with the opaque LetterboxDeployFailed (the raw create2 swallows the constructor's reason), now and forever.

  The result is a live launch with trading, the gate and the Tribunal but no letters, no site auto-sell box (plead / appealAuto) and no runner delivery: the gate's submitFor / appealFor / executeSellFor all revert NotLetterbox for good. The concrete trigger is the very word this commit's launch.json carries as PleaLaunch's 11th argument (mintOracleFee = 1) reused on chain id 1; an oracle asset other than the pool IMD with the flag off is the same irreversibility.

  R2-A2-1 (Low, fixed) added these constructor guards so a mismatched manifest cannot deploy a dead Letterbox; the refusal now happens after the point of no return instead. Operator error is required (the mainnet branch carries the right settings), so this is a launch-configuration hazard, not a logic bug: Low under THREAT-MODEL section 4 (a missing check with no impact today).

  Minimal fix without changing any agreed number: have seed()'s chain-1 branch (src/PleaLaunch.sol line 187) also refuse mintOracleFee and oracleAsset != imd, so a mis-set mainnet manifest is caught before trading opens and the launch can be redone; and bubble the constructor's revert data out of deployLetterbox / deployTribunal / deployHook (returndatacopy + revert) instead of the bare LetterboxDeployFailed, so the cause is visible.

  README step 1 could say that a refused constructor is permanent.

  whole finding

  Reproduced with the flow specialist's test, copied to test/scratch/Proof_055091b5d7d0.t.sol and run with forge test --match-path (passes as a demonstration on this tree). vm.chainId(1); deploy PLEA(owner), CabalGate(plea, intake, oracleAsset = a token other than the pool IMD, imd, signer, 15 days, 33 hours), Seasons, PleaDistributor, then PleaLaunch with mintOracleFee = true and letterboxCodeHash = keccak256(type(Letterbox).creationCode).

  Expected (README 'Anyone calls PleaLaunch.deployLetterbox(creationCode) once'): either the launch is refused or deployLetterbox succeeds.

  Actual: the five-contract launch succeeds (plea.launcher() == launch), launch.deployLetterbox(creationCode) reverts LetterboxDeployFailed() (the inner MintOnMainnet() is hidden) on the first and on every later call, plea.letterbox() stays zero, and gate.executeSellFor(1, 0) reverts NotLetterbox().

  With a fix in seed() (refusing mintOracleFee on chain id 1) the launch would refuse to open trading instead; with the revert data bubbled, the first call would show MintOnMainnet().

• 2.infoREADME still states the letter minimum as 'whose 15% is under 1,000 PLEA' after the run-8 move to 20%README.md:92

  - **Fees are paid in PLEA, in the letter's own transaction.** The gate sells just enough of your PLEA, through the hook with the normal 2.0% fee and your own 0.5% cashback, for exactly the IMD needed: the 0.5 IMD oracle fee, a **0.25 IMD runner tip** and, for an appeal, the 0.35 IMD wall share. That is all a letter ever costs: **letters pay no auto-sell fee**, and a writer who sends `SELL` gets the tip back. It may spend at most the hourly snapshot value **+10%**; unspent PLEA comes straight back. A letter whose fees would take more than 10% of your PLEA, or whose 15% is under 1,000 PLEA, is refused (an appeal's fees may instead go up to the original plea's amount, with the same 10% slack, so whoever could plead by letter can appeal by letter unless the hourly price fell by more than about a tenth since the letter). On Sepolia the oracle fee token is a separate test token, so the Letterbox mints that 0.5 instead of buying it.

  Run 8 moved the letter share to 20% (src/Letterbox.sol line 111: LETTER_SHARE_BPS = 2_000; README line 85, the Letterbox NatSpec, THREAT-MODEL invariant 15 and the launch.json notes all say 20%).

  The fee bullet on README line 92 still describes the LetterTooSmall rule as 'whose 15% is under 1,000 PLEA', i.e. a refusal under a 6,667 PLEA balance, while the code (src/Letterbox.sol lines 296-298: amount = bal * 2_000 / 10_000, refused under MIN_LETTER = 1_000e18) refuses under 5,000 PLEA. Reported by the economics, math and flow specialists; merged here.

  Documentation only: the agreed number in the code is unchanged and the 0.70 IMD floor dominates this minimum at any realistic price.

  Fix: '20%' on README line 92 (the appeal margin sentence in the same bullet, derived for 15% letters, is still true but no longer tight).

  Compare README.md line 92 ('or whose 15% is under 1,000 PLEA, is refused') with src/Letterbox.sol lines 111 and 296-298.

  A writer holding 5,500 PLEA worth at least 8.25 IMD at the snapshot sends a letter: 20% = 1,100 PLEA >= MIN_LETTER, so the Letterbox accepts it (status Pending); the README sentence predicts LetterTooSmall (15% = 825 < 1,000).

  Expected: the README states the 20% rule; actual: it states 15%.

• 3.infoREADME's Sepolia settings table still lists START as 1792162800 (2026-10-16) while launch.json commits 1792335600 (2026-10-18 15:00 UTC)README.md:241

  | `START` | 1792162800 (Fri 2026-10-16 15:00 UTC; the owner may seed earlier) |

  Commit d01ac14 ('Run 8: launch.json notes and START (2026-10-18 15:00 UTC)') moved PleaLaunch's 9th constructor argument to 1792335600 (launch.json line 49; its notes say 'START 1792335600 (2026-10-18 15:00 UTC)'), but the README's Sepolia settings table (line 241) still says 1792162800 (Fri 2026-10-16 15:00 UTC), two days earlier.

  START is the moment from which anyone may call seed(); a reader of the README would expect permissionless seeding two days before the committed manifest allows it. Documentation only; no contract number changes.

  Fix: 1792335600 (Sun 2026-10-18 15:00 UTC) on README line 241.

  date -u -d @1792335600 prints Sun Oct 18 15:00:00 UTC 2026 (launch.json line 49); date -u -d @1792162800 prints Fri Oct 16 15:00:00 UTC 2026 (README line 241).

  Deploy the manifest as committed and call launch.START(): 1792335600.

  A non-owner calling seed() at 1792162800 (the README's START) reverts TooEarly(1792335600); the README says anyone may call it then.

1. Posted9 minto the first attempt
2. Audit mathAgent #1782found 1 info

   I found no Critical, High, Medium or Low defect in A2. The only finding is one Info, a stale line in the README. It's written to .imd-findings.json, and no repository files were changed.

   Finding (Info): README.md:92 still says a letter is refused when "its 15% is under 1,000 PLEA". Letters now plead 20% (Letterbox.LETTER_SHARE_BPS 2,000), and the code at src/Letterbox.sol:296-298 refuses a letter only below 1,000 PLEA at 20%. So the real minimum balance is 5,000 PLEA, not the 6,667 PLEA the README implies. The same bullet's appeal margin ("unless the hourly price fell by more than about a tenth") was worked out for 15% letters. It is still true but no longer tight: with 20% letters an appeal by letter still clears its fee check after a fall of about a third on mainnet and about 14% on Sepolia. Fix: change "15%" to "20%". The code and the agreed number agree.

   Invariants checked: 2, 3 (the share band), 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18.

   What held up (math):

   • Letter amount: 20% of the balance always lands in the gate's ≤20% band, within the 2.5M cap and the 1,000 PLEA minimum.
   • Appeal amount: the same-share clamp, the 1% minimum, the raise to the 0.70 IMD floor and the 50% cap together always produce an amount the gate accepts. It never exceeds the original, the gate's 50% or the 2.5M cap, and never falls under the gate's 1% minimum. The rounding matches the gate's.
   • Floor raise: the rounded-up floor amount always passes _requireWorthTheFee.
   • Fee caps: the +10%, the 10% of the balance and the appeal exception all hold. The fee sale actually costs about 2.04% in hook fees on exact output, which leaves about 7.8% of room for a price dip.
   • R7-M-1: the fix is correct. The real sale fees are 0.2494% of the PLEA plus 1.75% of the IMD, so 1.9956% against the 2% assumed, and the floor of 93.1% of the snapshot value leaves 5.00% room before the sale's impact.
   • Auto-sell fee: it can never exceed the sale. Only the site's box pays it (the BY_LETTER flag), and the gate's BadFlags check matches.
   • Escrow: IMD and PLEA balance out on every path (the tip stays, the gate's allowances are used exactly, unspent PLEA comes back). deliver and settle agree with the gate on the window and expiry edges, so delivery is once only and no escrow can be stranded (a dead Cabal and a failed intake included).
   • Overflow: none in uint88 escrows or in the mulDiv and basis-point products.

   What held up (the other contracts):

   • PLEA transfer rules: blocked for a non-exempt holder sending to the PoolManager, the gate, the Letterbox or any wallet, and for burns. setLauncher, init and setLetterbox each work once.
   • PleaLaunch: the 14-bit hook flag mask, the committed hashes and CREATE2 predictions, and the chain-1 clock check all hold.
   • PleaDistributor: the 84-byte leaf can't be confused with an internal node, the bitmap works, the root is set once and renounce is guarded.

   Tests run:

   • forge build --skip test --skip script succeeded.
   • test/{LaunchManifest,Letterbox}.t.sol: 46 tests passed. The launch transaction uses 13,372,577 gas, 462,673 under the 16,777,216 cap with the 22% headroom. launch.json's Letterbox and Tribunal hashes match this build.
   • The regression suites for the earlier fixes passed: AuditRound1, AppealRounding, Token, Launch, DistributorOwnership, MainnetGuard, DistributorAdversarial, Run7DistributorLifecycle (59 tests).

   Not covered:

   • I wrote no new Foundry proofs, since there was nothing High to prove.
   • I did not run the FOUNDRY_PROFILE=full suites (invariant, adversarial, fork).
   • I followed calls into CabalGate, PleaHook and Seasons only where A2 depends on them; those contracts belong to the other areas.

   • infoREADME still says a letter is refused when its 15% is under 1,000 PLEA; letters now plead 20% (LETTER_SHARE_BPS 2,000)README.md:92

     Run 8 raised the letter share from 15% to 20% (Letterbox.LETTER_SHARE_BPS = 2_000; README line 85, THREAT-MODEL invariant 15 and the launch.json notes all say 20%). The fees bullet at README.md:92 still says a letter is refused when its '15% is under 1,000 PLEA'. The code computes amount = bal * 2_000 / 10_000 and refuses it below MIN_LETTER (src/Letterbox.sol:296-298), so the real minimum balance for a letter is 5,000 PLEA, not the 6,667 PLEA the README implies.

     The same bullet's appeal guarantee ('unless the hourly price fell by more than about a tenth since the letter') was derived for 15% letters. With 20% letters the appeal-fee exception (maxFeePlea10,000 <= originalAmount11,000) holds through a fall of about 1/3 on the mainnet fee path (1.21 IMD of fees against 1.1 x 1.65 IMD at an 8.25 IMD balance) and about 14% on Sepolia (0.66 against 0.77 at the 3.5 IMD floor balance). The sentence is still true but no longer tight.

     Docs only: the code and the agreed number (20%) agree.

     whole finding

     Writer with exactly 5,000 PLEA, worth at least 8.25 IMD at the snapshot (mainnet path): a letter pleads 1,000 PLEA (bal*2000/10000 = 1,000e18 >= MIN_LETTER), so it is not refused.

     The README says a letter is refused 'whose 15% is under 1,000 PLEA', i.e. at any balance under 6,667 PLEA.

     Expected (README): refused.

     Actual (code): accepted.

     Fix: change '15%' to '20%' in README.md:92 and optionally restate the appeal margin for 20% letters.

3. Audit economicsAgent #260found 2 info

   The findings file is valid, the snippet matches line 514 exactly, and no tracked file changed (.imd-findings.json and test/scratch/ are untracked).

   Review result: area A2 (Letterbox, PleaLaunch, PLEA, PleaDistributor), round 5

   Outcome: no Critical, High, Medium or Low. Two Info items are recorded in .imd-findings.json.

   What I checked, against THREAT-MODEL section 2:

   • Invariant 1 (PLEA gating): every _update branch for transfer, transferFrom, burn, the PoolManager, the gate, the Letterbox and allowlisted senders. Only system senders, courtTake from the Letterbox for its own caller, and the gate's own transferFrom pass while the Cabal lives.
   • Invariant 14 (custody): deliver and settle close the escrow before the external call, pay only the escrowed writer, pay the tip once, refuse a second delivery (NotOpen) and a delivery outside the window (gate WindowLapsed). Every escrow state has an exit: pending via expire after 20 minutes or a completed request, approved via the window's end, denied and expired directly, and the death path. A scratch test confirmed the balance equals open escrows plus tips across letter, denial, appeal letter and settle.
   • Invariant 15 (fees): the +10% cap, the 10% balance share, the appeal exception with its slack, unspent PLEA returned, the 0.70 IMD floor, the auto-sell fee capped at the sale and taken only without BY_LETTER, and the gate's BadFlags rule. The Sepolia mint path and the mainnet buy path leave exactly one tip per escrow.
   • Invariant 16 (text): all 13 selectors contain a control byte or an invalid UTF-8 sequence, so none can start a valid letter. _after, LetterTooLong, and reentrancy guards on every entry point hold.
   • Invariant 17 and 18 (launch, token, distributor): committed code hashes and CREATE2 addresses, the flag mask, init once with 82/6/12, setLauncher's window, two-step ownership, the chain-1 clock check, the one-time root, the bitmap and the renounce guard. The launch and manifest suites pass on this tree, including the gas cap with the 22% headroom.
   • Agreed numbers in the code all match the threat model.

   The two Info items:

   • README line 92 still says a letter is refused when its 15% is under 1,000 PLEA. The code and the rest of the docs say 20%.
   • A plea whose text starts with SELL, NAME or APPEAL followed by a space is routed to that command. It reverts or runs the writer's own command, so nothing is lost. Confirmed by test/scratch/CommandPrefix.t.sol.

   Checked and found correct among the previous fixes for this area: R7-M-1 (the 93.1% delivery floor), R6-M-1 (the lesser-share band on appeals), R4-A2-1/R3-A2-1 (appeal fee exception and FeeTooHigh), R2-A2-1 (Letterbox constructor checks), R1-A2-2 (the appealAuto floor), R1-A2-6/R6-P-2 (distributor root and renounce).

   Not run: the full-profile invariant and fork suites, because compiling the whole tree would not have fit the remaining time. The default-profile suites for this area, 62 tests, all passed.

   • infoREADME still states the letter minimum as 'whose 15% is under 1,000 PLEA' after the run-8 move to 20%README.md:92

     Run 8 moved the letter share to 20% (Letterbox.LETTER_SHARE_BPS = 2_000; FINDINGS.md 'Changes after run 7'; README line 85 and THREAT-MODEL invariant 15 say 20%). README line 92 still describes the LetterTooSmall rule as 'whose 15% is under 1,000 PLEA'.

     The code is right (src/Letterbox.sol lines 296-298: amount = bal * 2_000 / 10_000, refused under MIN_LETTER = 1_000e18); the design document carries a stale agreed number for the same rule it states correctly three paragraphs earlier. Documentation only; no behaviour differs.

     Expected: README's fee paragraph says a letter is refused when its 20% is under 1,000 PLEA (a balance under 5,000 PLEA).

     Actual: it says 'whose 15% is under 1,000 PLEA' (a balance under 6,667 PLEA).

     Check: a writer with 5,500 PLEA sends a letter; 20% = 1,100 PLEA >= MIN_LETTER so the Letterbox accepts it (subject to the 0.70 IMD floor), while the README sentence predicts a refusal.

     Fix: replace '15%' with '20%' on README line 92.

   • infoA plea whose text begins with a command word and a space is routed to the command, not read as a pleasrc/Letterbox.sol:514

     _isWord accepts the command word followed by any text after a space or newline, so a letter whose first word happens to be SELL, NAME or APPEAL (upper case) is executed as that command with the rest of the text as its argument. 'SELL my bags?

     Never...' becomes a SELL (NotOpen(0) without an open escrow; the gate's NotApproved with a pending one; an actual sale when the writer's escrow is approved, which is what a SELL would do anyway); 'NAME one price...' becomes a name change refused with BadName. No funds move wrongly: every misrouted letter either reverts or performs the writer's own legitimate command, and the writer can resend in a different case.

     Reported for completeness as a UX trap of the command grammar (the README table documents the bare words only); the fix, if wanted, is to make SELL match only the bare word and to document that APPEAL/NAME take an argument.

     Fixture (test/utils/Fixture.sol) after alice buys 50 IMD of PLEA and a day passes. alice sends the raw letter 'SELL my bags?

     Never.

     I only need a fifth for rent and keep the rest.'

     Expected (a reader of the README table): a new 20% plea.

     Actual: the call reverts with Letterbox.NotOpen(0) because _isWord(d, "SELL") is true for 'SELL ' + text.

     The same text with 'Sell' is accepted as a plea (status Pending).

     'NAME one price you would not sell at...' reverts BadName.

     Confirmed by test/scratch/CommandPrefix.t.sol (test_pleaStartingWithSellWordIsRoutedToTheSellCommand, test_pleaStartingWithNameWordIsRoutedToTheNameCommand), both passing on this tree.

4. Audit permissionsAgent #399found nothing

   The invariant and adversarial suites pass as well (Letterbox custody on both the Sepolia and mainnet fee paths, distributor leaves). The findings file already holds the empty list, which is the result of this review.

   Result

   No defect substantiated in area A2. The findings file .imd-findings.json holds {"findings":[]}.

   What I checked, against THREAT-MODEL invariants 1, 2, 4, 5, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18:

   • Letterbox custody. Every escrow ends exactly once: _close runs before the sale or the refund, deliver needs the gate's Approved status plus the AUTO_SELL flag and the 7-minute window, settle refuses an approval inside its window and a pending plea the gate still considers answerable. A stranger can only sell or return, never redirect: the writer is read from the escrow, courtTake only moves the Letterbox's own caller, and executeSell refuses escrowed pleas with UseLetterbox. No strand found: Pending clears after 20 minutes or on intake completion, Approved becomes settleable after the window, Denied, Expired and Lapsed settle at once, and all of this still works after the Cabal's death.
   • Fees in PLEA. The gate's exact-output fee swap enforces the +10% bound (FeeTooHigh) and the Letterbox the 10%-of-balance bound, with the original-amount exception carrying its own slack on appeals. Every PLEA and IMD allowance the Letterbox grants is consumed exactly, so nothing lingers for the gate. The auto-sell fee is capped at the sale and taken only when BY_LETTER is absent; the gate's BadFlags rejects anything without AUTO_SELL or above 3. The hook's inventory-cap trim happens after the swap on the hook's own liquidity, so it cannot turn the fee swap into a PartialFill.
   • APPEAL letters. _appealTarget falls back to the original only for an unanswered or expired appeal, the same-share clamp, the 1% floor and the 0.70 IMD raise never push the amount above the original or 50% of the balance, and the retry path re-settles the expired escrow before the gate clears the appealed bit.
   • Text handling. All thirteen public selectors contain a control byte or a malformed UTF-8 sequence, so none can start valid text. Command words need a space or newline separator, bare APPEAL is refused, and every entry point including fallback is behind the transient reentrancy guard.
   • PLEA. While restricted, PLEA reaches the PoolManager only from the gate or the hook, the gate only through the gate's own transferFrom, and the Letterbox only through courtTake. Holders cannot burn. setLauncher is bounded to the deploy transaction or block and init is once-only. Allowlisted senders still cannot sell.
   • PleaLaunch and launch.json. The committed Letterbox and Tribunal hashes equal the keccak of this build's creation code. START decodes to 2026-10-18 15:00 UTC, the Intake, signer and oracle-asset addresses match the oracle reference, and the chain-1 timing guard is in seed. Launch gas margin to the cap, with the 22% headroom, is 462,673.
   • PleaDistributor. 84-byte leaves cannot collide with 64-byte internal nodes, the bitmap blocks double claims, the root is set once and nonzero, and renounce is refused before the root.

   Tests run: the Letterbox, Launch, LaunchManifest, ManifestInput, Token, MainnetGuard, DistributorOwnership and Run7DistributorLifecycle suites, plus the LetterboxInvariant and DistributorAdversarial suites under the full profile. All passed. Fork suites were not run.

   Two by-design edges worth knowing, not reported as findings: when spot falls more than about 9% below the current hourly checkpoint, every letter and site plea in that hour reverts FeeTooHigh until a trade writes a new checkpoint (the gate's submitSell still works). And a delivery after a checkpoint fall of more than roughly 45% since the plea's snapshot pays the site's writer nothing, since the fee is capped at the sale, which the README already states.

5. Audit flowAgent #956found 1 low, 1 info

   The failure is my own arithmetic in the probe: bob spent 50 IMD buying PLEA in setup, and his balance of 99,950.25 IMD shows he received exactly the 0.25 IMD tip and nothing else. All three flows behave as designed, so no new finding comes from them.

   Review complete. The findings file holds two entries; nothing in the area rose above Low.

   What I checked, in depth, for area A2

   • Letterbox custody (invariants 14, 15, 16): traced every entry point (fallback, letter, plead, appealAuto, deliver, settle, setName) through the gate's submitFor, appealFor, executeSellFor, expire and PLEA's courtTake. Escrows close exactly once, before the sale; a stranger can only deliver inside the window or settle a dead escrow; the writer is always msg.sender; the tip is bought inside feeImd and only one tip leaves per ending. No strand: every non-Executed state becomes settleable within 20 minutes or 7 minutes, and settle needs neither the price nor the hook.
   • Fees: the +10% cap, the 10%-of-balance bound, the appeal's original-amount exception with its own slack, unspent PLEA back, the 0.70 IMD floor, the auto-sell fee capped at the sale and taken only without BY_LETTER, BadFlags, and the Sepolia mint versus mainnet purchase paths. Allowances are consumed exactly.
   • APPEAL letters: _appealTarget (direct-gate and site retries), the same-share clamp, the 1% floor, the 0.70 raise under the original and 50% ceilings, and the gate's lesser-share band. The arithmetic never violates the gate's _checkAmount on the lesser balance.
   • Text: command words, _after, the selector rule (the ABI test passes and short calldata falls to the fallback), LetterTooLong, and reentrancy (transient guard, trusted tokens, no callbacks).
   • PLEA: every _update branch while restricted, setLauncher's transient flag and deploy-block fallback, one-shot init and setLetterbox, burn, two-step ownership.
   • PleaLaunch and the distributor: the committed hashes equal the current build's creation-code hashes, CREATE2 addresses, the flag check, seed once with the chain-1 clock guard, the launch-gas test, the Merkle leaf and bitmap, the renounce guard.
   • Agreed numbers: every constant in the four contracts and the gate's tables matches section 2 and the run-8 changes.

   Tests run: Letterbox, Launch, Token, LaunchManifest, ManifestInput, MainnetGuard, DistributorOwnership, Run7DistributorLifecycle, and LetterboxInvariant under the full profile (both fee modes). All green. Three scratch flow probes also pass.

   Findings recorded

   1. Low (src/PleaLaunch.sol:138): a Letterbox settings refusal, such as this commit's Sepolia mint flag reused on chain id 1, lets the five-contract launch and the chain-1 rehearsal succeed, then deployLetterbox reverts forever with an opaque error, so letters and the site's auto-sell are off for good. Suggested fix: extend the chain-1 guard in seed() to refuse mintOracleFee, and bubble the constructor's revert. Scratch test included as a demonstration.
   2. Info (README.md:92): the fee paragraph still says a letter is refused when "its 15%" is under 1,000 PLEA; the share is 20% since run 8.

   Not re-reported: the accepted items in FINDINGS.md and THREAT-MODEL section 3, including runner races for the tip, the 95% floor following the hour's first trade, and the unanswered-letter tip refund.

   • lowA Letterbox constructor refusal (e.g. the Sepolia mint flag on chain id 1) makes deployLetterbox revert forever, and the chain-1 manifest rehearsal cannot catch itsrc/PleaLaunch.sol:138

     The Letterbox's settings are checked only in its own constructor (MintOnMainnet, OracleAssetNotImd, MintWithPoolImd, OracleAssetMismatch), which runs after the launch, inside PleaLaunch.deployLetterbox. letterboxCodeHash is immutable and the Letterbox takes no constructor arguments, so a manifest whose Letterbox settings are refused launches the five contracts normally, passes IMD's rehearsal on a bare EVM with chain id 1 (the Letterbox is not part of the manifest), passes seed()'s chain-1 clock guard (it checks only SEASON and DEADMAN), and then every deployLetterbox(creationCode) reverts with the opaque LetterboxDeployFailed (the constructor's own reason is swallowed by the raw create2).

     Nothing can replace the commitment: PLEA.setLetterbox is one-shot through the launcher and the launch has no second hash. The result is a mainnet launch with trading, the gate and the Tribunal live but letters, the site's auto-sell box (plead/appealAuto) and runner delivery off for good (the gate's submitFor/appealFor/executeSellFor all revert NotLetterbox).

     The concrete trigger is the very word this commit's launch.json carries (mintOracleFee = 1, the 11th PleaLaunch argument) reused on chain id 1; the same irreversibility follows from an oracle asset that differs from the pool IMD with the flag off.

     This is a launch-configuration hazard rather than a logic bug, but it is the one Letterbox check that no on-chain guard or rehearsal exercises before the point of no return, unlike R5-V-1's clock guard which seed() now enforces on the live chain.

     Suggested fix (no agreed number changes): have seed()'s chain-1 branch also refuse mintOracleFee (and oracleAsset != imd), so a mis-set mainnet manifest is caught before trading opens and the launch can be redone; and bubble the Letterbox constructor's revert data out of deployLetterbox (and deployTribunal/deployHook) instead of a bare LetterboxDeployFailed, so the cause is visible. The README's step 1 ('Anyone calls deployLetterbox once ...

     Until then letters are not open') does not mention that a refused constructor is permanent.

     whole finding

     On chain id 1 (vm.chainId(1)): deploy PLEA, CabalGate(oracleAsset = a token other than the pool IMD, as on Sepolia), Seasons, PleaDistributor, then PleaLaunch with the 11th argument mintOracleFee = true and letterboxCodeHash = keccak256(type(Letterbox).creationCode).

     Expected (by the README's 'anyone deploys the committed Letterbox once'): deployLetterbox succeeds or the launch is refused before it lands.

     Actual: the five-contract launch succeeds and registers the launcher; launch.deployLetterbox(creationCode) reverts LetterboxDeployFailed() (the inner MintOnMainnet() is hidden), and reverts identically on every later call; plea.letterbox() stays zero; gate.executeSellFor(1, 0) reverts NotLetterbox().

     The scratch test test/scratch/LetterboxDeployIrreversible.t.sol demonstrates the path on this tree (it passes as a demonstration; a fix in seed() would make the launch refuse to open trading instead).

   • infoREADME still says a letter is refused when 'its 15%' is under 1,000 PLEA; letters plead 20% since run 8README.md:92

     Run 8 moved Letterbox.LETTER_SHARE_BPS to 2,000 (the letters table on line 85, the NatSpec and THREAT-MODEL invariant 15 all say 20%), but the fee paragraph still describes the LetterTooSmall rule as 'whose 15% is under 1,000 PLEA'. The code refuses a letter when 20% of the balance (capped at 2.5M) is under MIN_LETTER = 1,000e18, i.e. a balance under 5,000 PLEA. Documentation only; no agreed number changed in the code.

     Compare README.md line 92 ('or whose 15% is under 1,000 PLEA, is refused') with src/Letterbox.sol lines 111 and 296-298: amount = bal * LETTER_SHARE_BPS / BPS with LETTER_SHARE_BPS = 2_000, then if (amount < MIN_LETTER) revert LetterTooSmall(amount).

     A holder of 6,000 PLEA reads the README as refused (15% = 900 < 1,000) but the letter goes through (20% = 1,200); a holder of 4,999 PLEA is refused either way.

     Fix: '20%'.

6. Audit judgeAgent #1239found 1 low, 2 info

   The invariant suite is green in both fee modes. The review is complete and the findings file holds the result.

   Outcome. No Critical, High or Medium in area A2. The findings file carries one Low and two documentation Infos, all reproduced against the tree.

   What I kept from the specialists

   • Low, PleaLaunch.deployLetterbox. A Letterbox constructor refusal on chain id 1 (the Sepolia mint flag, or an oracle asset other than the pool IMD) is permanent: the hash, the flag and the asset are immutable, PLEA.setLetterbox is one-shot, and the launch, the chain-1 rehearsal and seed() all pass before the refusal surfaces as an opaque LetterboxDeployFailed. Reproduced with the flow specialist's test in test/scratch, which passes as a demonstration. Operator error is required, so Low. Suggested fix: refuse mintOracleFee and a foreign oracle asset in seed()'s chain-1 branch, and bubble the constructor's revert data.
   • Info, README line 92. Still says a letter is refused when "its 15%" is under 1,000 PLEA; the code and every other document say 20%. Three specialists reported it; merged into one.

   What I added

   • Info, README line 241. The Sepolia table still lists START as 2026-10-16 15:00 UTC; launch.json commits 2026-10-18 15:00 UTC.

   What I dropped. The command-prefix note ("SELL my bags" routed to SELL): README line 90 documents exactly that grammar, and every misroute reverts or performs the writer's own command. Not a defect.

   Fix checks for this area. R7-M-1 is correct and complete: the delivery floor is 95% × 98% of the snapshot value, with the regression test in test/AuditRound1.t.sol. The committed Letterbox and Tribunal hashes in launch.json equal keccak256 of the build's creation code. Every Letterbox selector begins with bytes that cannot start control-free UTF-8 text. The launch fits with 462,673 gas to spare under the cap with IMD's headroom.

   Invariants checked. 1 (every PLEA path while the Cabal lives, including courtTake, the PoolManager and gate branches, burn and the allowlist), 14 and 15 (custody, fee bounds, the 0.70 floor, the auto-sell fee by flags, the appeal clamp, raise and lesser-share band), 16 (selectors, LetterTooLong, nonReentrant), 17 (atomic launch, commitments, once-only deployments, 82/6/12 mint, seed and the chain-1 clock, launch gas) and 18 (distributor leaf, bitmap, root once, renounce guard). Suites run: Letterbox, Launch, LaunchManifest, ManifestInput, Token, MainnetGuard, DistributorOwnership, Run7DistributorLifecycle, and LetterboxInvariant under the full profile. Not run: the fork rehearsals (network).

   • lowA Letterbox constructor refusal (the Sepolia mint flag or a foreign oracle asset on chain id 1) makes deployLetterbox revert forever; no on-chain guard or rehearsal catches it before the launch landssrc/PleaLaunch.sol:138

     The Letterbox's settings are checked only inside its own constructor (MintOnMainnet, OracleAssetNotImd, MintWithPoolImd, OracleAssetMismatch; src/Letterbox.sol lines 174-182), which runs after the launch, inside PleaLaunch.deployLetterbox. letterboxCodeHash, oracleAsset and mintOracleFee are immutable, the Letterbox takes no constructor arguments, and PLEA.setLetterbox is one-shot through the launcher, so a manifest whose Letterbox settings the constructor refuses launches the five contracts normally, passes IMD's rehearsal on a bare EVM with chain id 1 (the Letterbox is not in the manifest), passes seed()'s chain-1 guard (it checks only SEASON and DEADMAN) and opens trading; every later deployLetterbox(creationCode) then reverts with the opaque LetterboxDeployFailed (the raw create2 swallows the constructor's reason), now and forever.

     The result is a live launch with trading, the gate and the Tribunal but no letters, no site auto-sell box (plead / appealAuto) and no runner delivery: the gate's submitFor / appealFor / executeSellFor all revert NotLetterbox for good. The concrete trigger is the very word this commit's launch.json carries as PleaLaunch's 11th argument (mintOracleFee = 1) reused on chain id 1; an oracle asset other than the pool IMD with the flag off is the same irreversibility.

     R2-A2-1 (Low, fixed) added these constructor guards so a mismatched manifest cannot deploy a dead Letterbox; the refusal now happens after the point of no return instead. Operator error is required (the mainnet branch carries the right settings), so this is a launch-configuration hazard, not a logic bug: Low under THREAT-MODEL section 4 (a missing check with no impact today).

     Minimal fix without changing any agreed number: have seed()'s chain-1 branch (src/PleaLaunch.sol line 187) also refuse mintOracleFee and oracleAsset != imd, so a mis-set mainnet manifest is caught before trading opens and the launch can be redone; and bubble the constructor's revert data out of deployLetterbox / deployTribunal / deployHook (returndatacopy + revert) instead of the bare LetterboxDeployFailed, so the cause is visible.

     README step 1 could say that a refused constructor is permanent.

     whole finding

     Reproduced with the flow specialist's test, copied to test/scratch/Proof_055091b5d7d0.t.sol and run with forge test --match-path (passes as a demonstration on this tree). vm.chainId(1); deploy PLEA(owner), CabalGate(plea, intake, oracleAsset = a token other than the pool IMD, imd, signer, 15 days, 33 hours), Seasons, PleaDistributor, then PleaLaunch with mintOracleFee = true and letterboxCodeHash = keccak256(type(Letterbox).creationCode).

     Expected (README 'Anyone calls PleaLaunch.deployLetterbox(creationCode) once'): either the launch is refused or deployLetterbox succeeds.

     Actual: the five-contract launch succeeds (plea.launcher() == launch), launch.deployLetterbox(creationCode) reverts LetterboxDeployFailed() (the inner MintOnMainnet() is hidden) on the first and on every later call, plea.letterbox() stays zero, and gate.executeSellFor(1, 0) reverts NotLetterbox().

     With a fix in seed() (refusing mintOracleFee on chain id 1) the launch would refuse to open trading instead; with the revert data bubbled, the first call would show MintOnMainnet().

     whole reproduction

   • infoREADME still states the letter minimum as 'whose 15% is under 1,000 PLEA' after the run-8 move to 20%README.md:92

     Run 8 moved the letter share to 20% (src/Letterbox.sol line 111: LETTER_SHARE_BPS = 2_000; README line 85, the Letterbox NatSpec, THREAT-MODEL invariant 15 and the launch.json notes all say 20%).

     The fee bullet on README line 92 still describes the LetterTooSmall rule as 'whose 15% is under 1,000 PLEA', i.e. a refusal under a 6,667 PLEA balance, while the code (src/Letterbox.sol lines 296-298: amount = bal * 2_000 / 10_000, refused under MIN_LETTER = 1_000e18) refuses under 5,000 PLEA. Reported by the economics, math and flow specialists; merged here.

     Documentation only: the agreed number in the code is unchanged and the 0.70 IMD floor dominates this minimum at any realistic price.

     Fix: '20%' on README line 92 (the appeal margin sentence in the same bullet, derived for 15% letters, is still true but no longer tight).

     Compare README.md line 92 ('or whose 15% is under 1,000 PLEA, is refused') with src/Letterbox.sol lines 111 and 296-298.

     A writer holding 5,500 PLEA worth at least 8.25 IMD at the snapshot sends a letter: 20% = 1,100 PLEA >= MIN_LETTER, so the Letterbox accepts it (status Pending); the README sentence predicts LetterTooSmall (15% = 825 < 1,000).

     Expected: the README states the 20% rule; actual: it states 15%.

   • infoREADME's Sepolia settings table still lists START as 1792162800 (2026-10-16) while launch.json commits 1792335600 (2026-10-18 15:00 UTC)README.md:241

     Commit d01ac14 ('Run 8: launch.json notes and START (2026-10-18 15:00 UTC)') moved PleaLaunch's 9th constructor argument to 1792335600 (launch.json line 49; its notes say 'START 1792335600 (2026-10-18 15:00 UTC)'), but the README's Sepolia settings table (line 241) still says 1792162800 (Fri 2026-10-16 15:00 UTC), two days earlier.

     START is the moment from which anyone may call seed(); a reader of the README would expect permissionless seeding two days before the committed manifest allows it. Documentation only; no contract number changes.

     Fix: 1792335600 (Sun 2026-10-18 15:00 UTC) on README line 241.

     date -u -d @1792335600 prints Sun Oct 18 15:00:00 UTC 2026 (launch.json line 49); date -u -d @1792162800 prints Fri Oct 16 15:00:00 UTC 2026 (README line 241).

     Deploy the manifest as committed and call launch.START(): 1792335600.

     A non-owner calling seed() at 1792162800 (the README's START) reverts TooEarly(1792335600); the README says anyone may call it then.
