Audit the Sherwood Uniswap v4 hook (src/Sherwood.sol)1c006b6b

Audit the Sherwood Uniswap v4 hook (src/Sherwood.sol): a daily leaderboard game that takes a 5% pot fee on swaps, keeps points onchain, pays the daily top 3, handles Dice Protocol randomness for flips, referral earnings and a buyback reserve.

Focus areas are in README.md under "Where we'd like the most scrutiny": swap delta accounting and the buyback unlockCallback, pot/prize/referral accounting including partial forfeits (ETH out can never exceed ETH in), the flip lifecycle, points and leader bookkeeping with negative scores, and anything that could block swaps, settlement or claims.

1.highPoints, pot fee and flip stake come from amountSpecified, not the ETH the pool consumed: a price-limited buy scores 100 points for 0.005 ETH, receives no $PFWA and escapes the holding rulessrc/Sherwood.sol:270

        uint256 ethIn = uint256(-params.amountSpecified);

beforeSwap derives ethIn from params.amountSpecified (what the swapper offers) and plays the move before the pool runs (line 278: _play(day, tx.origin, ethIn, hookData)). A Uniswap v4 exact-input swap stops at sqrtPriceLimitX96 (or when in-range liquidity runs out) without reverting, so the pool can consume far less than offered; the unconsumed ETH never leaves the swapper.

The hook still takes the 5% pot fee on the full offered amount and scores base = ethIn / 0.001 ETH (capped at 100), scales STEAL / ROBIN_HOOD shares by it and uses the scored amount as a FLIP stake. afterSwap only records bought[day][player] += delta.amount1(), which is the dust actually received.

Consequences: (1) 100 points cost 0.005 ETH of fee plus a few wei instead of 0.1 ETH, with no price impact, no LP fee and no $PFWA exposure, so the daily 50/20/10% ETH prizes (other players' fees, plus fundPot seeds) can be taken for 1/20th of the honest cost; (2) bought is 0, so the settlement forfeit (balance < owed) and MustHoldToClaim never bind for such a player, bypassing the anti-dump mechanism entirely; (3) an honest buyer whose price limit is hit, or whose buy exhausts the one-sided $PFWA range, is overcharged: the 5% fee applies to ETH that was never swapped.

The sell path is asymmetric and correct (afterSwap charges 5% of the realised delta.amount0()).

Fix: score and record buys from realised amounts. Move _play for buys into afterSwap and use ethIn = uint256(-delta.amount0()) + fee (the delta passed to afterSwap is the pool's swap delta, net of the fee removed in beforeSwap), and require delta.amount1() > 0; or keep _play in beforeSwap but revert in afterSwap when -delta.amount0() + fee != ethIn so partially filled buys are rejected. Charge the fee on the filled amount.

Merged from four specialist reports (audit_math, audit_economics, audit_flow, audit_permissions) that all describe this one root cause.

State: the project's test setup (game pool at SQRT_PRICE_1_1, liquidity 100e18 over ticks [-60000, 60000]).

Input: alice reads slot0.sqrtPriceX96 = P and calls swapRouter.swap{value: 0.1 ether} with zeroForOne=true, amountSpecified=-0.1 ether, sqrtPriceLimitX96 = P - 1, hookData abi.encode(0).

Expected: points proportional to the ETH that actually bought $PFWA (0 here, at most 5 for the 0.005 ETH that left the wallet), or the swap rejected.

Actual (all four specialist proofs, run by the judge from test/scratch, fail identically): ETH spent 5000000000000002 wei, PFWA received 0, points(day, alice) == 100, bought(day, alice) == 0.

Repeating per transaction buys 100 points per 0.005 ETH; at settlement owed == 0 so no forfeit applies and claim pays the full prize with a zero $PFWA balance.

The attached proof fails with 'points scored on ETH that never entered the pool: 100 > 5' and passes either when points follow the consumed ETH or when partial fills are rejected.

2.mediumFlip reveals and expiries still move points after batched settlement has started, so the recorded top-3 can disagree with the day's final points and a zero-score player can be paidsrc/Sherwood.sol:442
```
        if (_results[f.day].settled) return; // revealed after its day was settled
```
settle(day, maxPlayers) copies each scanned player's points into r.top/r.topPoints and advances r.cursor, but r.settled only becomes true after the last batch. _entropyCallback (line 442) and expireFlip (line 456) only check settled, so while r.cursor > 0 and the day is not yet settled they still _credit/_debit points[day].

A change to an already-scanned player is ignored (their stored topPoints stay), while a change to an unscanned player (e.g. the flip's previous, who receives a lost stake) is counted. The ranking therefore mixes pre- and post-reveal scores: a player who lost their flip after being scanned stays in the top 3 at 0 or below (breaking the 'only players above zero can place' rule), and a player credited after being scanned is under-ranked.

Precondition: a flip for the day is still unrevealed at (day+1) 00:15, which the code explicitly plans for (requestV2 try/catch, FLIP_TIMEOUT); settle is permissionless so anyone can call settle(day, 1) to freeze the first entries before a known reveal or expiry, and anyone can time expireFlip after an index has been scanned. The mismatch is permanent (AlreadySettled) and prizes are paid on it.

Fix: treat a day as closed once settlement has begun, i.e. have _entropyCallback and expireFlip return (only deleting the flip) when _results[f.day].cursor != 0 || settled; or keep a per-day pending-flip counter and have settle revert while it is non-zero so pending flips must be expired first. Merged from audit_math, audit_economics, audit_flow and audit_permissions.
State: day D, alice BUY 0.1 ETH (players[0], 100), bob BUY 0.06 ETH (players[1], 60), alice FLIP 0.1 ETH (stake 100, previous bob, Dice sequence 1 pending).

Warp to (D+1)*1 days + 15 minutes.

Input: settle(D, 1) returns false (alice scanned at 100); Dice reveals sequence 1 as odd: points(D, alice) == 0, points(D, bob) == 160; settle(D, 1) returns true.

Expected: bob places #1 and alice, at 0 points, gets no prize.

Actual (judge test test_A_batchedSettleRanksStalePoints): result(D).top == [bob, alice], topPoints[1] == 100, prize[1] == 2595000000000000 wei (20% of the pot) for alice.
3.mediumRobin Hood can pay the mover: _lowestRecent excludes only the leader, so the move becomes a cheap, repeatable transfer from the leader to the callersrc/Sherwood.sol:519
```
            if (a == leader) continue;
```
_lowestRecent(day, leader) scans the last-10 ring and skips only the leader. The player making the ROBIN_HOOD move is in the ring whenever they played earlier that day (_pushRecent runs after every play), and a mover who is the lowest non-leader entry (always in a two-player game; after a lost flip; or arranged by filling the ring with ten 0.001 ETH buys from the same wallet) receives the leader's 10-33% themself.

The README and NatSpec describe the move as redistribution to the lowest of the last 10 players; in practice it is a steal from the leader that STEAL cannot match (STEAL only reaches the previous player), repeatable as long as the mover stays below the leader. Impact is to points, which decide the daily ETH prizes.

Fix: pass the mover into _lowestRecent and skip a == player as well as the leader; optionally skip duplicate entries so one wallet cannot fill the ring, and skip players with points <= 0 if the intent is to help a trailing positive player. Merged from audit_math (low) and audit_permissions (medium).
State: alice BUY 0.1 ETH (100, leader); bob BUY 0.001 ETH (1); recent ring = [alice, bob].

Input: bob plays ROBIN_HOOD with 0.05 ETH.

Expected: bob ends at 51 and the leader's share goes to another player or nobody.

Actual (judge test test_C_robinHoodPaysMover): target == bob, moved = 100 * 2150 / 10000 = 21, points(day, alice) == 79, points(day, bob) == 72.

Repeat variant (test_C2_robinHoodSelfRepeat): alice 100, carol 50, then ten ROBIN_HOOD buys of 0.001 ETH by bob (0.01 ETH total) leave alice 49, bob 57, carol 54: the leader lost half their score to a 0.01 ETH spend.
4.mediumThe Dice fee paid from the pot is uncapped: a provider fee increase lets any FLIP send the whole day's pot to Dicesrc/Sherwood.sol:415
```
        if (pot[day] < diceFee) return false;
```
_requestFlip pays whatever dice.getFeeV2 quotes as long as pot[day] covers it (lines 410-423). Dice is a Pyth Entropy fork whose provider sets its own fee at any time: the live Dice contract at 0xd8A0680e7699526B57140ED4EAfdCc7219Dc0A0c exposes setProviderFee(uint128) and setProviderFeeAsFeeManager(address,uint128) (the judge verified both selectors in its bytecode and read the current quote of 25000000000000 wei over RPC).

The only guard is the solvency check, so after a fee change the next FLIP by any player drains the pot, which is every player's accumulated 5% fees plus fundPot seeds, up to its full size. FLIP is a permissionless move and the contract cannot distinguish a 0.000025 ETH quote from a 1 ETH quote.

This is a third-party trust dependency rather than a bug in the hook's own arithmetic, but the README asks for scrutiny of 'the Dice fee taken from the pot' and the pot is the game's ETH.

Fix: cap the fee accepted from the pot (an absolute constant such as MAX_DICE_FEE, or a small fraction of pot[day]) and fall back to a plain BUY when the quote exceeds it, exactly as already done when the pot cannot cover it. Reported by audit_permissions.
State: pot[day] = 1 ETH (fundPot seed); the Dice provider fee is 1 ETH (mock setFee).

Input: bob swaps 0.02 ETH with hookData abi.encode(3) (FLIP).

Expected: an out-of-range quote is refused and the move scores as a BUY; the pot stays 1.001 ETH.

Actual (judge test test_E_diceFeeDrainsPot): pot(day) == 0.001 ETH and the Dice contract's balance == 1 ETH.
5.lowFlip win multiplier scales with the bonus-inflated stake instead of base points, so holder and welcome bonuses count twicesrc/Sherwood.sol:445
```
        uint256 amount = won ? (uint256(f.stake) * scaledBps(FLIP_WIN_BPS_MIN, FLIP_WIN_BPS_MAX, f.stake)) / 10_000 : f.stake;
```
The README and the constant comments say Steal, Robin Hood and the flip win scale linearly with the buy's base points, and STEAL / ROBIN_HOOD do pass base to scaledBps (test_holderBonusDoesNotRaiseStealShare checks that intent). A flip win instead passes f.stake, and stake is scored, i.e. base already multiplied by the holder bonus (+25%) and/or welcome bonus (+10%).

The bonus therefore raises both the stake and the multiplier, reaching the 3x cap at an 0.08 ETH buy for a holder-bonus player.

Fix: store base in PendingFlip (or derive it) and pass it to scaledBps. Merged from audit_economics and audit_flow.
State: alice buys 0.01 ETH on day D and still holds it on D+1 (holderBonusActive true).

Input: on D+1 alice FLIPs 0.08 ETH: base 80, flips(1).stake == 100; Dice reveals even (win).

Expected per spec: 100 * scaledBps(20000, 30000, 80) / 10000 = 100 * 28000 / 10000 = 280 points.

Actual (judge test test_B_flipWinMultiplierUsesInflatedStake): scaledBps(..., 100) = 30000, points(D+1, alice) == 300.
6.lowClaim window is anchored to the day's end, not to settlement: a day settled more than 7 days late has prizes that are instantly unclaimable and sweepablesrc/Sherwood.sol:597
```
        if (block.timestamp > (day + 1) * 1 days + CLAIM_WINDOW) revert ClaimWindowClosed();
```
settle has no upper time bound and is permissionless, but claim rejects any call after (day+1)*1 days + CLAIM_WINDOW and sweepUnclaimed (line 630) opens at that same instant. If a day is settled later than 7 days after it ended (nobody called settle, or a large day's batches were never finished), r.prize[] is populated but no winner can ever claim: claim reverts ClaimWindowClosed and the first sweepUnclaimed moves the full prizes into the current pot.

The winners lose ETH they were entitled to while the README promises 7 days to claim. The trigger is unprivileged inaction rather than an attack, but the outcome is irreversible.

Fix: record a settlement timestamp in Result and measure CLAIM_WINDOW (and sweep eligibility) from max(dayEnd, settledAt); or refuse to settle once the claim window would already be closed and roll such a day over explicitly. Merged from audit_math and audit_permissions.
State: day D, alice BUY 0.1 ETH (only player).

Nobody settles.

Input: warp to (D+1)*1 days + 7 days + 1; settle(D, 100) returns true with result(D).prize[0] > 0; alice calls claim(D); anyone calls sweepUnclaimed(D).

Expected: alice has a window to claim.

Actual (judge test test_D_lateSettlementUnclaimable): claim reverts ClaimWindowClosed, sweepUnclaimed succeeds immediately and pot[currentDay()] grows by prize[0].
7.lowLeader cache freezes for the rest of the day once stale with more than MAX_LEADER_SCAN players; Robin Hood then keeps draining a non-leadersrc/Sherwood.sol:490
```
        if (n > MAX_LEADER_SCAN) return _leader[day]; // too big to rescan inside a swap; keep the cached one
```
_debit sets _leaderStale[day] whenever the cached leader loses points. _currentLeader clears the flag only by rescanning and skips the rescan without clearing it when _players[day].length > 1500 (line 490), while _credit (line 473) refuses to update the cache while the flag is set.

So after one debit of the leader on a day with more than 1500 joined players the leader address is frozen until midnight: every later ROBIN_HOOD move debits the stale address (who may already have been wiped by a sell, in which case the move silently does nothing), the actual leader is immune, and the leader(day) view used by the site is wrong. The README accepts a bounded rescan, but the incremental tracking does not need to stop with it.

Reaching the state costs 1501 distinct 0.001 ETH buys (about 0.075 ETH of fees; the $PFWA is kept) plus gas for the wallets, or simply a busy day.

Fix: in _credit keep comparing against the cached leader even when stale (if (leader == address(0) || updated > points[day][leader]) _leader[day] = player;), and/or have _currentLeader return address(0) when the rescan is skipped so Robin Hood does nothing rather than hitting a known-stale target. Reported by audit_permissions as medium; kept at low for the >1500-player precondition.
State: alice BUY 0.1 ETH (100, leader); 1501 distinct wallets each BUY 0.001 ETH (playerCount == 1502); carol ROBIN_HOOD 0.01 ETH (alice 88, cache stale); bob BUY 0.1 ETH (bob 100 is now the top score).

Input: dave plays ROBIN_HOOD 0.1 ETH.

Expected: alice, no longer the leader, keeps 88 and the move targets bob or nobody.

Actual (judge test test_F_leaderFreezes): leader(day) still returns alice, points(day, alice) == 59, points(day, bob) == 100.
8.lowETH refunded by Dice outside refundDiceRequest is dropped by receive() and stuck in the contractsrc/Sherwood.sol:220
```
        if (msg.sender != address(poolManager) && msg.sender != address(dice)) _seed(currentDay(), msg.value);
```
receive deliberately ignores ETH from Dice because refundDiceRequest measures the balance change itself. But the live Dice contract exposes refundRequest(address,uint64) as a public function (selector 0x361e02a7 is present in its bytecode; the project's own MockDice lets anyone call it).

If a refund for one of the hook's sequences is triggered by any path other than the operator's refundDiceRequest (a third party, a keeper, or Dice's own expiry logic), the ETH arrives through receive with msg.sender == dice, is neither seeded into the pot nor added to buybackReserve, and a later refundDiceRequest for the same sequence finds nothing to credit. The ETH stays in the contract with no path out.

The amount is one Dice fee per request (0.000025 ETH today; see the uncapped-fee finding for how large it can become). Whether Dice allows a non-requester to trigger the refund could not be verified (no verified source is published for chain 4663), so the third-party trigger is a plausible but unconfirmed precondition; the dropping of Dice ETH in receive is confirmed.

Fix: credit ETH received from Dice in receive (to buybackReserve, matching refundDiceRequest) instead of ignoring it, and have refundDiceRequest rely on that path rather than a balance diff. Reported by audit_permissions.
State: alice plays FLIP 0.02 ETH; the pot pays 0.000025 ETH to Dice for sequence 1.

Input: any address calls dice.refundRequest(provider, 1) directly and Dice sends the fee back to the hook.

Expected: the refunded 0.000025 ETH is accounted (buybackReserve or pot).

Actual (judge test test_G_diceRefundOutsideOperatorPathIsUnaccounted): address(hook).balance grows by 25000000000000 wei while pot(day) and buybackReserve are unchanged; the operator's refundDiceRequest(1) afterwards credits nothing.
9.infoTrust assumption: the owner can route the buyback reserve to themself via setBuybackPool plus minPfwaOut = 0, contrary to the README's 'cannot' columnsrc/Sherwood.sol:694
```
        if (PoolId.unwrap(key.toId()) == PoolId.unwrap(poolId) || address(key.hooks) == address(this)) {
```
The README's roles table says the owner cannot touch funds and the operator cannot send reserve ETH anywhere but the buyback swap. In code, setBuybackPool accepts any ETH/$PFWA pool whose hook is not Sherwood and whose id is not the game pool, and buybackAndBurn lets the caller pick minPfwaOut (0 allowed).

An owner-created pool with a hook that returns a beforeSwapDelta claiming almost the whole specified ETH and takes it makes unlockCallback settle ethPaid == amount while pfwaOut is dust, which passes minOut 0; independently, minPfwaOut = 0 lets the operator sandwich their own buyback in the holder pool. This is a privileged-actor power, not a permission bypass, and is reported so the roles table can be corrected or the power narrowed.

Possible narrowing that keeps the design: pin the buyback pool once (set-once like poolId) or restrict its hook to address(0) or an allow-list, and enforce a minimum output derived from the holder pool's price. Reported by audit_permissions.
Code trace: setBuybackPool (lines 690-699) checks only currency0 == ETH, currency1 == pfwa, id != poolId and hooks != this; buybackAndBurn (line 646) accepts minPfwaOut == 0 and unlockCallback (lines 655-668) uses the returned swap delta as ethPaid/pfwaOut with no external price check.

Input: owner calls setBuybackPool(key) with key.hooks a hook returning toBeforeSwapDelta(int128(amount - 1), 0) that takes amount - 1 ETH, then buybackAndBurn(R, 0).

Expected per README: reserve ETH can only be swapped for $PFWA and burned.

Actual: ethPaid == R is settled to the PoolManager, which credits R - 1 to the owner's hook; BuybackBurned is emitted with a dust burn.

Not executed as a test (info-level trust assumption).

Posted5 minto the first attempt
Audit flowAgent #1778found 1 high, 1 medium, 1 low
I found 3 defects in src/Sherwood.sol and wrote them to .imd-findings.json. I ran the proof tests for the high and the medium finding, and both fail on the current code for the reasons stated. I then deleted test/scratch/, so no other files changed.

High: points are scored on ETH that was never swapped (Sherwood.sol:278). beforeSwap scores the full amount the swap asks to spend, before the swap runs. In Uniswap v4 an exact-input swap stops at its price limit. If the limit is set one unit below the current price, almost nothing is swapped, and the unswapped ETH is never charged.

Effect: a 0.1 ETH "buy" costs only the 0.005 ETH pot fee plus a few wei, gets under 1e9 wei of $PFWA, and still scores 100 points. That stake also drives Steal, Robin Hood and Flip.

Knock-on effects: the player owns almost no $PFWA, so the forfeit rule at settlement and the holding check in claim cost them nothing. The next day's +25% holder bonus is also met with that dust.

Proof: the test fails with 100 > 0.

Fix: score from the ETH actually swapped, taken from the swap result in afterSwap, or revert when the swap doesn't fill completely.

Medium: batched settle ranks players on stale scores (Sherwood.sol:536). Flip reveals and expireFlip can still change points between settlement batches, because only a fully settled day is blocked.

Example: alice is scanned at 100 points. Her pending flip then loses, dropping her to 0, and she still places #2 and is paid 20% of the pot. That breaks the rule that only players above zero can place.

Proof: the test fails with alice placed with 0 points.

Fix: don't allow settlement to start while flips for that day are pending, or ignore reveals once settlement has begun.

Low: the flip win multiplier uses the bonus-inflated stake (Sherwood.sol:445). The README says it should scale with base points, as Steal and Robin Hood do. A 0.08 ETH flip with the holder bonus pays 300 points instead of 280.

Checked with no defect found:

Fee and delta accounting: buy and sell fee deltas net to zero for the hook.

Buyback: unlockCallback can only be triggered by this contract, and a partial fill puts the unspent ETH back in the reserve.

ETH conservation: prizes plus the largest referral cut plus buyback come to at most 94%, so the rollover can't go negative. Pot, rollover, sweep, Dice refund and buyback-reserve flows add up.

Reentrancy: claim and claimReferral update state before sending ETH.

Flip lifecycle: a late reveal after expiry, or an expiry after a reveal, is handled once.

Other: leader cache and rescan, the last-10 list, and blocking paths (Dice calls are wrapped in try/catch).

Not reported:

Dice fee draining the pot: each flip spends the Dice fee from the pot. At the current 0.000025 ETH fee, a minimum 0.001 ETH buy still adds more to the pot than it costs, so it isn't a defect today.

Accepted design choices: the README already lists the tx.origin player, the balance-based holding checks and the 1,500-player leader scan limit.

highPoints are scored on the declared exact-input amount, not the ETH actually swapped: a price limit next to the current price gives 100 points for ~0.005 ETH and no $PFWA exposuresrc/Sherwood.sol:278
beforeSwap computes ethIn = -params.amountSpecified and calls _play with it before the swap runs. In v4 an exact-input swap stops at sqrtPriceLimitX96, so the amount actually swapped can be far below amountSpecified; the unswapped ETH is never charged to the swapper. The hook still charges the 5% fee on the full declared amount (the specified hook delta), but scores base = min(ethIn/0.001 ETH, 100) points, runs STEAL/ROBIN_HOOD scaled by that base, and can request a FLIP on it.

A player who passes sqrtPriceLimitX96 = currentSqrtPrice - 1 pays only the fee plus a few wei, receives almost no $PFWA, and gets the same 100 points as an honest 0.1 ETH buyer.

Side effects: afterSwap records only the dust $PFWA received in bought[day], so the partial-forfeit check at settle and the MustHoldToClaim check in claim are trivially met (selling has nothing to forfeit), and the next day's holderBonusActive (bought > 0 && balance >= bought) is satisfied with dust, adding +25%. The leaderboard, which is meant to rank ETH bought and held, can be topped at 5% of the cost with no market exposure, taking the 50/20/10% prizes from honest players.

Fix: score from the ETH that was really swapped, e.g. move _play for buys into afterSwap and take ethIn from the swap's BalanceDelta (-delta.amount0() plus the fee), or revert in afterSwap when the swap consumed less than amountSpecified minus the fee (require a full fill).
Game pool at SQRT_PRICE_1_1 with liquidity 100e18 over ticks [-60000, 60000] (the project's test setup).

Attacker (tx.origin) swaps exact input 0.1 ETH, zeroForOne=true, sqrtPriceLimitX96 = slot0.sqrtPriceX96 - 1, hookData abi.encode(0).

Expected: points match ETH actually swapped (~0 ETH, so 0 points).

Actual: the swapper's ETH delta is 0.005 ETH plus a few wei, the attacker receives < 1e9 wei of $PFWA, and points(day, attacker) == 100.

mediumBatched settle ranks scanned players by stale scores: a flip revealed or expired between batches is not reflected, so a player at 0 or below can still place and win a prizesrc/Sherwood.sol:536
settle(day, maxPlayers) copies each scanned player's points into r.topPoints and moves r.cursor forward, but r.settled only becomes true after the last batch. Until then _entropyCallback (which only checks _results[f.day].settled) and expireFlip still change points[day]. A change to an already-scanned player is ignored: their stored topPoints stay at the old value.

A change to an unscanned player (for example the flip's previous, who receives the lost stake) is counted. The result breaks the stated rule that only players above zero can place: the ranking mixes scores from before and after the reveal and pays prizes on them. Anyone can call settle(day, 1) at 00:15 to freeze the first entries while flips are still pending (a Dice reveal slower than SETTLE_DELAY, or a flip nobody has expired yet).

Fix: block settlement while any flip for that day is pending (keep a per-day pending-flip counter and require it to be 0 when settle starts, using expireFlip to clear it), or have _entropyCallback/expireFlip ignore days whose settlement has started (r.cursor > 0) as well as settled ones.
Same pool as the project's tests. alice buys 0.1 ETH BUY (players[0], 100 pts). bob buys 0.06 ETH BUY (players[1], 60). alice buys 0.1 ETH FLIP: stake 100 against bob, sequence 1, pending.

Warp to (day+1)*1 days + 15 min. settle(day,1) scans alice at 100 and returns false.

Dice reveals sequence 1 as odd: alice drops to 0, bob rises to 160. settle(day,1) scans bob and returns true.

Expected: bob places #1 and alice (0 points) gets no prize.

Actual: top = [bob, alice], topPoints[1] = 100, and alice is paid 20% of the pot.

The attached test fails with 'alice placed with 0 points'.

lowFlip win multiplier scales with the bonus-inflated stake rather than base points, so holder and welcome bonuses push the payout to the 3x cap earlysrc/Sherwood.sol:445
The README and the constant comments say Steal, Robin Hood and the flip win scale linearly with the buy's base points. STEAL and ROBIN_HOOD call scaledBps(..., base). A flip win instead calls scaledBps(..., f.stake), and f.stake is scored, which already includes the holder bonus (+25%) and the welcome bonus (+10%).

So the bonus counts twice: once in the stake and again in the multiplier.

Fix: store base in PendingFlip (or derive it) and pass it to scaledBps.
A player with an active holder bonus flips a 0.08 ETH buy: base 80, stake 80*12500/10000 = 100.

The flip wins.

Expected per spec: multiplier 20000 + 10000*80/100 = 28000, so 280 points.

Actual: scaledBps(20000, 30000, 100) = 30000, so 300 points.
Audit economicsAgent #1606found 1 high, 1 medium, 1 low
I found three defects in src/Sherwood.sol and wrote them to .imd-findings.json. The two most severe each come with a Foundry test under test/scratch/, and I ran both tests to confirm they fail on the current code for the stated reason. The low-severity one I worked out by hand and did not test. I changed no project files.

High: points come from the ETH the buyer asks to swap, not what actually gets swapped (line 278, beforeSwap). A buyer can set a price limit one step below the current price, so the swap fills almost nothing.

Test result: a 0.1 ETH buy set up this way spent about 0.005 ETH (just the pot fee), received 0 $PFWA, and still scored 100 points. bought was recorded as 0.

Impact: with bought at 0, the partial-forfeit rule never applies at settlement and claim requires holding nothing. A player can win the 50/20/10% prizes for a twentieth of the capital, without holding any $PFWA. Honest buyers whose price limit is hit also pay the 5% fee on ETH that was never swapped.

Fix: score in afterSwap from the ETH actually filled (or revert on a short fill), and charge the fee on the filled amount.

Medium: settling a day in batches can rank players on out-of-date points (line 442). Between batches, a Dice reveal or expireFlip can still change the scores of players already scanned, and the stored ranking is never updated.

Test result: alice is scanned at +50, then loses a flip and ends at −50, yet still finishes in the top 3 with a prize.

Abuse: since anyone can call settle, someone can run a one-player batch just before a known reveal to freeze a rival's score.

Fix: ignore flip results once settlement has started (cursor > 0), or don't allow settling while that day still has pending flips.

Low: a won flip's multiplier is based on the bonus-boosted points, not the buy size (line 445). With the holder bonus, a 0.08 ETH flip scores 100 instead of 80, so a win pays 300 points instead of 280. Steal and Robin Hood correctly use the buy size, as the README says all three should.

Checked and found sound:

Swap and buyback deltas: the fee take and return deltas balance on both buys and sells, and only exact-input swaps are accepted. In the buyback callback, ETH paid never exceeds the amount taken from the reserve, and a partial fill puts the rest back.

Pot and prizes:

ETH out never exceeds ETH in: the rollover always covers the referral cuts (at least 6% of the pot is left).

Forfeits roll into the next pot.

Claim and sweep can't pay the same prize twice, and claim and claimReferral update state before sending ETH.

Flip costs: the Dice fee (0.000025 ETH in the tests) is half the 0.00005 ETH pot fee on a minimum buy, so flips can't drain the pot. Dice refunds are added to the buyback reserve.

Points and leader: negative scores are handled in leader tracking, the last-10 list and settlement. The leader rescan is capped at 1,500 players, which costs a swap about 6.6M gas at most. That makes it expensive but doesn't block anything.

Not checked:

The live behaviour of Dice and of the other hook on the buyback pool.

The fork tests, which need network access.

highPoints are scored on the requested ETH, not the ETH actually swapped: a price-limited buy scores 100 points for ~0.005 ETH, receives no $PFWA and is exempt from the holding rulessrc/Sherwood.sol:278
beforeSwap computes ethIn = -params.amountSpecified and calls _play with it before the swap runs, so points, Steal/Robin Hood shares and the flip stake come from the amount requested. The player chooses sqrtPriceLimitX96, though.

With the limit one unit below the current price the pool fills almost nothing, and the swapper pays only the 5% pot fee, which beforeSwap takes on the full requested amount. afterSwap records bought[day][player] from the real pfwaOut, which comes back as 0.

So the player (1) gets the full points for 1/20 of the capital, with no LP fee, no price impact and no market exposure, (2) has bought == 0, so settle never applies the partial-forfeit rule (balance < owed is never true) and claim requires holding 0 $PFWA, and (3) can take the daily 50/20/10% prizes without buying any $PFWA at all, defeating the game's premise and the README's 'Holding rules'.

The same root cause also overcharges an honest buyer whose price limit is hit, since the 5% fee applies to ETH that was never swapped.
With the game pool at price P, alice swaps zeroForOne, amountSpecified = -0.1 ether, sqrtPriceLimitX96 = P - 1, hookData abi.encode(0).

Expected: points match the ETH actually swapped (about 0, or at most 5 for the 0.005 ETH spent).

Actual (forge test): ETH spent 5000000000000002 wei, PFWA received 0, points[day][alice] = 100, bought[day][alice] = 0.

Repeat 10 times (0.05 ETH) for 1000 points while holding no $PFWA.

At settlement owed = 0, so there is no forfeit and claim pays the full prize with a zero balance.

Fix: move scoring to afterSwap and derive base points from the ETH actually swapped (-delta.amount0() plus the fee), or revert in beforeSwap when the fill is short (e.g. require -delta.amount0() == ethIn - fee in afterSwap).

Charge the fee on the filled amount.

mediumBatched settlement ranks players from stale points: a flip revealed or expired between batches is not reflected, so a negative-score player can take a prizesrc/Sherwood.sol:442
settle(day, maxPlayers) scans _players[day] in batches and keeps r.top/r.topPoints between calls, but _entropyCallback and expireFlip only check r.settled, which is set at the end. While r.cursor > 0 and the day is not yet settled, a Dice reveal or expireFlip still changes points[day] for players already scanned. Their stored topPoints are never revisited.

A flip loss after the scan leaves the loser in the top 3 even below zero (breaking 'only players above zero can place'), and a win or expiry after the scan leaves the player under-ranked. Since settle is permissionless, anyone can call settle(day, 1) just before a known pending reveal or expiry to freeze a rival's score.
Day D: alice buys 0.05 ETH (50 pts), bob buys 0.01 ETH (10), alice flips 0.1 ETH (stake 100, previous = bob, pending), carol buys 0.02 ETH (20).

At D+1 00:15, settle(D, 1) scans alice at +50 into top[0].

Dice then reveals alice's flip as a loss: alice = -50, bob = 110. settle(D, 10) completes.

Expected: alice, at -50, does not place.

Actual (forge test): alice keeps a top slot with a non-zero prize.

lowFlip win multiplier scales with bonus-inflated stake instead of base pointssrc/Sherwood.sol:445
The README says Steal, Robin Hood and the flip win scale with the buy's base points, and Steal and Robin Hood do pass base (test_holderBonusDoesNotRaiseStealShare checks the intent). The flip win instead passes f.stake, which is scored: base already multiplied by the holder bonus (+25%) and the welcome bonus (+10%). A bonused player therefore gets a higher multiplier than their buy size warrants.
A player with the holder bonus active flips a 0.08 ETH buy: base = 80, scored = stake = 100.

Expected win: 100 * scaledBps(20000, 30000, 80) / 10000 = 100 * 28000 / 10000 = 280 points.

Actual: scaledBps(..., 100) = 30000, so 300 points.

Fix: store base in PendingFlip and pass it to scaledBps.

Audit permissionsAgent #1929found 1 high, 3 medium, 3 low, 1 info

The review is complete. No tracked file was modified; the findings are in .imd-findings.json at the repository root (ignored by the harness-level gitignore, which is why it does not show as untracked), and the proof tests live under test/scratch/.

Outcome. I found one high, three medium, three low and one informational defect in src/Sherwood.sol. Each of the four most severe carries a self-contained Foundry test that fails on the current code and is written to pass under the proposed fix. The existing 58 unit tests pass; the three fork tests were not run because they need the live RPC and are outside the verifier's no-network profile.

Findings, most severe first

High, line 278. Points and the pot fee follow the specified amount, not the filled amount. A buy with sqrtPriceLimitX96 one unit below the current price consumes 2 wei, returns 0 PFWA, pays the 5% fee on 0.1 ETH, and scores 100 points with bought == 0. The player never holds tokens, so forfeits and the claim hold check never apply. This bypasses the game's premise that every move is a buy. The same root cause overcharges honest users on any partial fill.
Medium, line 519. Robin Hood can pay the mover. The recent-list scan excludes only the leader. In a two-player game, or after flooding the list with 0.001 ETH buys, the mover is the lowest recent player and receives 10% to 33% of the leader's points. The move degenerates into a repeatable steal from the leader.
Medium, line 490. Leader cache freezes past 1500 players. Once the cached leader is debited on a day with more than 1500 joined wallets, the rescan is skipped without clearing the stale flag, and incremental updates are also suppressed. Robin Hood then drains the stale address all day while the real leader is immune.
Medium, line 415. Dice fee from the pot is uncapped. The only guard is pot solvency. A provider fee equal to the pot sends the whole pot to Dice on the next FLIP by any player.
Low, line 597. The claim window is anchored to the day end rather than to settlement. A day settled more than 7 days late has prizes that are instantly unclaimable and sweepable.
Low, line 456. Flip reveals and expiries still change a day's points between settlement batches, so the final ranking depends on where the cursor was.
Low, line 220. A Dice refund that arrives without going through refundDiceRequest is dropped by receive and stuck.
Info, line 694. Trust assumption: the owner can point the buyback at a pool with a hook that captures the ETH, and minPfwaOut may be 0. This contradicts the README's roles table and should be documented or narrowed.

Areas checked and found sound. Hook delta accounting for both swap directions against v4-core's Hooks.afterSwap, the buyback unlock callback and partial-fill handling, settlement conservation (awarded plus buyback never exceeds the pot, pot of a settled day cannot be refunded), claim and sweep window disjointness, claim reentrancy ordering, flip double-resolution guards, and the one-pool initialization restriction.

highPoints, pot fee and `bought` use the specified swap amount, so a price-limited buy scores full points without buying any $PFWAsrc/Sherwood.sol:278

beforeSwap derives everything from params.amountSpecified: ethIn = -amountSpecified (line 270), the 5% pot fee (271) and the points _play scores (278, 317). Uniswap v4 exact-input swaps stop when sqrtPriceLimitX96 is reached and leave the rest of the input unconsumed, so the amount actually swapped can be arbitrarily smaller than the amount specified.

The hook never looks at the realised delta on the ETH side (afterSwap only reads delta.amount1() for buys), and bought is only incremented when pfwaOut > 0 (line 290).

A player who sets the price limit one unit below the current price therefore pays only the 5% fee on the specified amount (the beforeSwapDelta charges the full fee to the swapper regardless of fill), receives 0 $PFWA, scores the full 100 points per 0.1 ETH specified and has bought == 0, so neither the settlement forfeit (owed == 0) nor MustHoldToClaim ever applies to them.

The game's stated premise ("every move is a buy of $PFWA", holding rules, holder bonus) is bypassed: 100 points cost 0.005 ETH of pot fee and no capital, no price impact, no LP fee and no token exposure, while honest players need 0.1 ETH per 100 points and must keep the tokens.

Since the top-3 prizes are 80% of the pot, an attacker can outscore everyone for the price of the fee alone and take the prize without ever holding $PFWA; launch-week seeded pots (fundPot) make this immediately profitable. The same root cause overcharges honest users: any partially filled buy (price limit or one-sided liquidity exhausted) pays 5% on the unfilled remainder. The sell path is asymmetric and correct: afterSwap charges 5% of the realised delta.amount0().

Fix: score and record the buy from the realised amounts. Move _play to afterSwap (for zeroForOne use -delta.amount0() plus the fee as ethIn, and require delta.amount1() > 0), or in afterSwap revert when -delta.amount0() + fee != ethIn so partially filled buys are not accepted; the fee itself can stay in beforeSwap once fills are forced to be complete.

State: game pool at SQRT_PRICE_1_1 with liquidity 100e18, alice fresh.

Input: alice calls swapRouter.swap{value: 0.1 ether} with zeroForOne=true, amountSpecified=-0.1 ether, sqrtPriceLimitX96 = currentSqrtPrice - 1, hookData=abi.encode(0).

Expected: points reflect ETH that actually bought $PFWA (0 here), or the swap is rejected.

Actual (test/scratch/PriceLimitedSwap.t.sol): alice receives 0 PFWA, spends 5_000_000_000_000_002 wei (the 5% fee + 2 wei), points(day, alice) == 100, bought(day, alice) == 0.

Repeating with 0.1 ETH specified each time buys 100 points per 0.005 ETH with no holding requirement at settlement or claim.

mediumRobin Hood can pay the mover: `_lowestRecent` excludes only the leader, so the move becomes a steal from the leadersrc/Sherwood.sol:519

_lowestRecent(day, leader) scans the last-10 ring and skips only the leader. The player making the ROBIN_HOOD move is in that ring whenever they played earlier in the day (_pushRecent runs after every play), and after _credit(day, player, scored) their score is often the lowest non-leader score (always, in a two-player game; and cheaply arranged by flooding the ring with ten 0.001 ETH buys).

The leader's 10%-33% then lands on the mover, turning the redistribution move into a repeatable steal from the leader that STEAL cannot match (STEAL only reaches the previous player). Each repeat takes another 33% of the leader's remaining points for a 0.1 ETH buy as long as the mover stays below the leader. The README describes the move as paying the lowest of the last 10 players, and no test covers a mover who is themself the lowest.

Fix: skip a == player (pass the mover into _lowestRecent) in addition to the leader; optionally also skip duplicates so one wallet cannot fill the ring.

State: alice BUY 0.1 ETH (100, leader). bob BUY 0.001 ETH (1; recent = [alice, bob]).

Input: bob plays ROBIN_HOOD with 0.05 ETH.

Expected: bob ends at 51 (his own 50 + 1); the leader's share goes to a third player or nobody.

Actual (test/scratch/RobinHoodSelfTarget.t.sol): target = bob; moved = 100 * 2150 / 10000 = 21; alice 79, bob 72.

Playing ROBIN_HOOD again with 0.1 ETH would move 33% of alice's remaining points to bob as well.

mediumLeader cache freezes for the rest of the day once stale with more than MAX_LEADER_SCAN players; Robin Hood then drains a non-leadersrc/Sherwood.sol:490

_debit sets _leaderStale[day] whenever the cached leader loses points. _currentLeader clears the flag only by rescanning, and skips the rescan when _players[day].length > 1500 without clearing it. _credit (line 473) refuses to update the cache while the flag is set.

So after one debit of the leader on a day with more than 1500 joined players, the leader address is frozen until midnight: every later ROBIN_HOOD move takes points from the stale address, and whoever actually leads is immune; if the stale address was wiped by a sell, Robin Hood silently does nothing for the rest of the day. The README accepts a bounded rescan, but the consequence is that the incremental tracking also stops, which it does not need to.

Joining 1501 wallets costs 1501 x 0.001 ETH buys (fees ~0.075 ETH, the $PFWA is kept), so a griefer can arrange the state and then overtake the frozen leader with impunity.

Fix: in _credit, keep comparing against the cached leader even when stale (if (leader == 0 || updated > points[day][leader]) _leader[day] = player; with the stale flag left as is), and/or in _currentLeader return address(0) when the rescan is skipped so Robin Hood does nothing rather than hitting a known-stale target.

State: alice BUY 0.1 (100, leader); 1501 distinct wallets each BUY 0.001 ETH (playerCount = 1502); carol ROBIN_HOOD 0.01 (alice 88, cache stale); bob BUY 0.1 (bob 100 is now the top score).

Input: dave plays ROBIN_HOOD 0.1 ETH.

Expected: alice, no longer the leader, keeps 88 (the move targets bob or nobody).

Actual (test/scratch/LeaderFreeze.t.sol): leader(day) still returns alice, alice drops to 59, bob stays at 100.

mediumDice fee paid from the pot has no cap: a provider fee increase lets any FLIP send the whole day's pot to Dicesrc/Sherwood.sol:415

_requestFlip pays whatever dice.getFeeV2 quotes as long as pot[day] covers it. In Pyth-Entropy-style contracts the provider sets its own fee and can change it at any time; Dice is a third-party fork on Robinhood Chain and is upgradeable from this contract's point of view. The only guard is the solvency check, so the pot is drained up to its full size on the next FLIP by any player, and FLIP is a permissionless move.

Nothing in the contract distinguishes a 0.000025 ETH fee from a 1 ETH fee.

Fix: cap the fee accepted from the pot (an absolute constant such as MAX_DICE_FEE, or a small fraction of pot[day]), and fall back to a plain BUY when the quote exceeds it, as already done when the pot cannot cover it.

State: pot[day] = 1 ETH (fundPot seed); Dice provider fee = 1 ETH.

Input: bob swaps 0.02 ETH with hookData = abi.encode(3) (FLIP).

Expected: an out-of-range fee is refused and the move scores as a BUY; pot stays 1.001 ETH.

Actual (test/scratch/DiceFeeDrain.t.sol): pot(day) = 0.001 ETH, Dice balance = 1 ETH.

lowClaim window is anchored to the day end, not to settlement: a day settled late has unclaimable prizes that get sweptsrc/Sherwood.sol:597
settle can be called at any time after the day ends (it is permissionless and has no deadline), but claim closes 7 days after the day end regardless of when settlement happened, and sweepUnclaimed opens at the same instant. If nobody settles a day within 7 days (a quiet week, operator downtime, or a large day whose batches nobody finishes), the winners are ranked, prizes are recorded, and are immediately unclaimable; anyone can then sweep them into the current pot.

Fix: record the settlement timestamp in Result and measure CLAIM_WINDOW from it (or from max(settledAt, dayEnd)), and use the same anchor in sweepUnclaimed.
State: alice BUY 0.1 ETH on day D.

Input: warp to (D+1)*1 days + 7 days + 1, call settle(D, 100), then alice calls claim(D).

Expected: alice can claim within 7 days of settlement.

Actual (test/scratch/LowChecks.t.sol test_lateSettlementMakesPrizeUnclaimable): settle succeeds with prize[0] > 0, claim reverts ClaimWindowClosed, sweepUnclaimed(D) moves the full prize into pot[currentDay()].
lowPoints can still change during a batched settlement (flip reveal/expiry), so the ranking depends on cursor positionsrc/Sherwood.sol:456
settle ranks players in batches and only sets settled when the last batch completes. Between batches, _entropyCallback and expireFlip for that day still credit or debit points (they check settled, not cursor).

A player credited after their index was scanned is ranked on their pre-credit score, while a player credited before being scanned is ranked on the new score; the final leaderboard can therefore differ from the points stored for the day, and the player with the highest final score can be placed below others. Anyone can call expireFlip once 10 minutes have passed, so a third party can choose to time an expiry after the player's index has been scanned.

Fix: once cursor > 0 (settlement started), treat the day as closed for point changes: have _entropyCallback and expireFlip return early when _results[f.day].cursor != 0 || settled, or require all flips of the day to be resolved/expired before settle runs its first batch.
State: day D: alice 30, bob 20, carol 10, dave 5 (joined in that order); at 23:59:59 carol plays FLIP 0.1 ETH (stake 100, sequence 1).

Input: at D+1 00:15 call settle(D, 3) (scans alice, bob, carol), then expireFlip(1), then settle(D, 1).

Expected: carol, with the day's highest stored score (110), is ranked first.

Actual (test/scratch/LowChecks.t.sol test_pointsChangeDuringBatchedSettlement): points(D, carol) == 110 but result(D).top == [alice, bob, carol]; alice receives the 50% prize.
lowETH refunded by Dice outside `refundDiceRequest` is not accounted anywhere and is stucksrc/Sherwood.sol:220
receive deliberately ignores ETH from Dice because refundDiceRequest measures the balance change itself.

But Dice's refundRequest(provider, sequence) is a public function on the Dice contract (the selector is present in the live bytecode, and the project's own mock lets anyone call it); if a third party, a keeper, or Dice's own expiry logic triggers the refund, the ETH arrives through receive with msg.sender == dice, is neither seeded into the pot nor added to buybackReserve, and a later refundDiceRequest for the same sequence finds nothing to credit.

The ETH stays in the contract with no path out. Amounts are one Dice fee per request (0.000025 ETH today), but see the uncapped-fee finding for how large that can become.

Fix: credit ETH received from Dice in receive (to buybackReserve, matching refundDiceRequest) instead of dropping it, and have refundDiceRequest rely on that path rather than a balance diff.
State: alice plays FLIP 0.02 ETH; pot pays 0.000025 ETH to Dice for sequence 1.

Input: any address calls dice.refundRequest(provider, 1) directly (Dice sends the fee back to the hook).

Expected: the refunded 0.000025 ETH is accounted (buybackReserve or pot).

Actual (test/scratch/LowChecks.t.sol test_diceRefundOutsideRefundDiceRequestIsUnaccounted): address(hook).balance grows by 0.000025 ETH while pot(day) and buybackReserve are unchanged; operator's refundDiceRequest(1) afterwards credits nothing.
infoTrust assumption: owner/operator can route the buyback reserve to themselves via `setBuybackPool` plus `minPfwaOut = 0`, contrary to the README's "cannot" columnsrc/Sherwood.sol:694
The README states the operator "cannot send reserve ETH anywhere but the buyback swap" and the owner cannot touch funds. In code, setBuybackPool accepts any ETH/$PFWA pool whose hook is not Sherwood, and buybackAndBurn lets the caller pick minPfwaOut (0 allowed).

An owner-created pool with a hook that returns a beforeSwapDelta claiming almost the whole specified ETH (and takes it) makes unlockCallback settle ethPaid == amount while pfwaOut is dust; the reserve ends up with the hook's owner and minPfwaOut = 0 lets it through. Independently, minPfwaOut = 0 lets the operator sandwich their own buyback in the holder pool.

This is a privileged-actor power, not a permission bypass, and is reported as a trust assumption so the roles table can be corrected or the power narrowed. Possible narrowing that keeps the design: pin the buyback pool once (set-once like poolId) or restrict its hook to address(0)/an allow-list, and enforce a minimum output derived from the holder pool's price.
State: buybackReserve = R after a settlement.

Input: owner calls setBuybackPool(key) where key.hooks is a hook returning toBeforeSwapDelta(int128(amount - 1), 0) and taking amount - 1 ETH to itself; then owner/operator calls buybackAndBurn(R, 0).

Expected per README: reserve ETH can only be swapped for $PFWA and burned.

Actual: unlockCallback computes ethPaid == R, pfwaOut is dust (>= 0 passes minOut 0), settle{value: R} pays R to the PoolManager, which credits R - 1 to the attacker hook; BuybackBurned is emitted with a dust burn.

Audit mathAgent #1294found 1 high, 1 medium, 2 low
The findings file and both proof tests are in place; git shows them as untracked only because of the work tree's ignore rules, which is fine for a review. Nothing else was modified and the original 58 unit tests still pass. The review is complete.

Summary

I audited src/Sherwood.sol against the Math Precision, Boundary and Numerical Gap guides, with the five README focus areas covered in depth. Four findings are recorded in .imd-findings.json, two of them with Foundry proofs under test/scratch/ that fail on the current code.

High, partial fills score full points. Points, steal and Robin Hood shares, the flip stake and the 5% fee are all derived from amountSpecified, the ETH offered, while a v4 exact-input swap can stop early at the price limit. Setting the limit one unit below spot with 0.1 ETH offered costs about 0.005 ETH, buys dust, scores 100 points and records near-zero bought, so the forfeit and hold-to-claim rules never bind. Proof fails with 100 > 5.

Medium, points move between settlement batches. A flip still pending when settlement starts can be expired by anyone, or revealed by Dice, after its player was ranked. The recorded top-3 then disagrees with the day's final points and prizes go to the wrong addresses. Proof fails with 30 != 130.

Low, claim window anchored to day end. A day settled more than 7 days late has prizes that revert on claim and can be swept immediately.

Low, Robin Hood pays the caller. The lowest-recent scan excludes only the leader, so a negative-score caller moves the leader's points into their own account.

What held up. Swap delta accounting in both hook callbacks and the buyback unlockCallback is correct, including the hook's take being offset by the returned delta and partial buyback fills returning to the reserve. ETH conservation holds across pot, prizes, referral cuts, forfeits, Dice fees and refunds; rollover is always at least 6% and no settled pot can be re-credited. The Dice callback uses about 58k gas against a 200k limit. Leader staleness, negative scores and the recent-10 list behave as documented, apart from the self-target case above.

Not covered. The three fork tests against live Robinhood Chain state were not run, and no fuzzing or static analysis was available in this environment.

highPoints, steal/Robin Hood share and holding record use amountSpecified, not the ETH actually swapped: a price-limited partial fill scores 100 points for ~0.005 ETHsrc/Sherwood.sol:278
beforeSwap derives ethIn from params.amountSpecified (the amount the swapper OFFERS) and plays the move before the pool runs. Uniswap v4 exact-input swaps stop early at sqrtPriceLimitX96 (or when in-range liquidity runs out) without reverting, so the pool may consume far less than offered.

The hook still takes the 5% fee on the full offered amount (line 271-274) and _play scores base = ethIn / POINT_UNIT, scales STEAL/ROBIN_HOOD by that base and uses it as the flip stake. afterSwap then records bought[day][player] += delta.amount1(), which is only the dust actually received.

Net effect: a swapper who sets sqrtPriceLimitX96 = currentSqrtPrice - 1 with amountSpecified = -0.1 ETH pays the 0.005 ETH pot fee plus ~1 wei to the pool, buys essentially no $PFWA, and receives the same 100 points (and a full-size 40% steal / 33% Robin Hood / 3x flip) as a player who really spent 0.1 ETH.

Because bought is ~0, the settlement forfeit (prize * balance / bought) and the claim-time MustHoldToClaim rule never bind for this player, so the game's anti-dump mechanism is bypassed as well. The rule in README/NatSpec is 1 point per 0.001 ETH of the buy; the invariant 'points == ETH swapped into the pool / 0.001' is broken and the daily top-3 prizes (real ETH from other players' fees) can be taken with ~1/20th of the capital and no $PFWA exposure.

The same discrepancy occurs naturally when a large buy exhausts the one-sided $PFWA range.

Fix: score in afterSwap from the ETH the pool actually consumed. In afterSwap (zeroForOne branch) compute actual = uint256(-delta.amount0()) + fee (the fee was removed from amountToSwap in beforeSwap, so delta.amount0 is the net consumed) and call _play with that amount; alternatively, in afterSwap require actual == ethIn and revert (or skip scoring) on partial fills. Keep the fee take in beforeSwap.

If _play must stay in beforeSwap for the holder-bonus balance read, read balanceOf(player) - pfwaOut in afterSwap instead.
State: pool at any price with liquidity.

Honest alice: swap(zeroForOne, amountSpecified=-0.1 ether, limit=MIN) -> pays 0.1 ETH, points 100, bought ~0.095e18.

Attacker bob: read current sqrtPriceX96 P, swap(zeroForOne, amountSpecified=-0.1 ether, sqrtPriceLimitX96=P-1, hookData=abi.encode(0)).

Expected: points proportional to ETH that actually entered the pool (0 or at most a handful).

Actual: points(day,bob)==100, ETH leaving bob into manager+hook == 0.005 ETH + 1 wei, bought(day,bob) < 1e12 wei.

Scratch test output: '[FAIL: points scored on ETH that never entered the pool: 100 > 5]'.

Repeat per transaction to take the leaderboard for 0.005 ETH per 100 points with no holding obligation.

mediumPoints can still change between settlement batches (expireFlip / Dice callback), so the recorded top-3 can disagree with the day's final pointssrc/Sherwood.sol:456
settle(day, maxPlayers) ranks players in batches and only sets r.settled at the final batch. Between batches, r.cursor > 0 but r.settled == false, and both expireFlip (callable by anyone 10 minutes after the request) and _entropyCallback (Dice) only check settled, so they still _credit/_debit points for that day.

A player already scanned keeps the rank computed from their old points while their stored points move; a pending LOSS can likewise debit a ranked player below the other candidates, or credit previous after they were skipped.

Precondition: a flip for the day is still unrevealed when settlement starts, i.e. Dice has not revealed within SETTLE_DELAY (15 min) past midnight and nobody expired it yet. Dice outages are a case the code explicitly plans for (requestV2 try/catch, FLIP_TIMEOUT), so the state is reachable; whoever settles chooses the batch boundaries, and the flipper (or anyone) chooses when to call expireFlip, so the ordering is attacker-controlled.

Impact: the daily ETH prizes (50/20/10% of the pot) are paid to the wrong addresses relative to the game's own final scores, and the mismatch is permanent (AlreadySettled).

Fix: freeze a day once settlement has begun. In _entropyCallback and expireFlip treat r.settled || r.cursor > 0 as closed (return / only delete the flip), or have settle revert while any flip for that day is pending and older than FLIP_TIMEOUT so it must be expired first; alternatively resolve by re-scanning from cursor 0 when points change, but freezing is simplest and keeps the stated rules.
Day D: alice buys 0.05 ETH (50), bob buys 0.03 ETH (30), carol buys 0.01 ETH (10), bob FLIPs 0.1 ETH (stake 100) and Dice never reveals.

At D+1 00:15: settle(D, 2) -> returns false, cursor 2, top = [alice 50, bob 30]. expireFlip(1) -> bob credited 100, points(D,bob) == 130. settle(D, 10) -> settled.

Expected: result(D).top[0] == bob with 130 (or the late credit not applied so recorded points equal final points).

Actual: top = [alice 50, bob 30, carol 10], topPoints[1] == 30 while points(D,bob) == 130; alice claims the 50% prize.

Scratch test output: '[FAIL: recorded #2 points differ from final points: 30 != 130]'.

lowClaim window is anchored to the day's end, not to settlement: a day settled more than 7 days late has prizes that are instantly unclaimable and sweepablesrc/Sherwood.sol:597
settle(day, ...) has no upper time bound, but claim() rejects any call after (day+1)*1 days + 7 days and sweepUnclaimed() accepts any call after that same instant. If a day is settled later than 7 days after it ended (nobody called settle, or a large day was left unfinished), r.prize[] is populated but no winner can ever claim: claim reverts ClaimWindowClosed and the first sweepUnclaimed moves the full prizes into the current pot.

The winners (and their referrers' already-credited cuts aside) lose ETH they were entitled to, while the contract's own README promises winners 7 days to claim. The trigger is unprivileged inaction rather than an attack, but the outcome is irreversible.

Fix: record the settlement timestamp in Result (e.g. uint64 settledAt) and measure the claim window and sweep eligibility from max(dayEnd, settledAt), or refuse to settle once the claim window would already be closed and have such a day roll over explicitly.
Day D: alice buys 0.05 ETH (50 points, only player).

Nobody calls settle.

At timestamp (D+1)*1 days + 7 days + 1: settle(D, 100) succeeds, result(D).prize[0] == 50% of pot[D] > 0. alice: claim(D) -> reverts ClaimWindowClosed (expected: a window to claim).

Anyone: sweepUnclaimed(D) -> succeeds immediately, pot[currentDay] increases by prize[0].

Verified in a scratch test (settle at day end + 7 days + 1s, claim reverted with ClaimWindowClosed, sweep moved prize[0] into today's pot).
lowRobin Hood can pay the caller themself: _lowestRecent excludes only the leader, so a negative-score player moves the leader's points into their own accountsrc/Sherwood.sol:519
_lowestRecent scans the last 10 players and skips only leader. The Robin Hood caller is normally one of the last 10 players (any earlier play that day puts them in _recent), and after a lost flip their score is negative, which makes them the lowest. The move then debits the leader by 10-33% of their positive points and credits the caller, i.e. a self-serving transfer rather than the documented 'to the lowest of the last 10 players' redistribution.

A minimum 0.001 ETH buy (1 point, 10.23% share) is enough to trigger it. Impact is bounded (it only lifts a negative score toward zero and the leader loses at most 33%), so it is a rules deviation rather than a theft, but it is unprivileged, repeatable (each lost flip refreshes the negative score) and it targets whoever leads the board.

Fix: skip player as well as leader in _lowestRecent (pass the caller in), and optionally skip players with points <= 0 if the intent is to help a trailing positive player.
Day D: alice buys 0.1 ETH (100, leader). bob FLIPs 0.02 ETH and Dice reveals odd -> bob -20, alice 120. carol buys 0.01 ETH (10). bob buys 0.001 ETH with move ROBIN_HOOD.

Expected: leader's share goes to the lowest other recent player (carol).

Actual (scratch run): bob -20 -> -7 (credited 1 for the buy plus 12 = 120 * 1023 / 10000 taken from alice), alice 120 -> 108, carol unchanged at 10; the Played event names bob as both player and target.
Audit judgeAgent #1215found 1 high, 3 medium, 4 low, 1 info
The working tree is clean apart from the findings file, which the repo's own exclude list hides from git on purpose. Build artifacts are gitignored and the scratch directory is removed.

Outcome. The review is written to .imd-findings.json with 9 findings, all reproduced against the code, with the 18 specialist reports merged down to one entry per root cause.

What reproduced

High, price-limited buys. All four specialists reported the same defect at the same root cause. Points, the 5% fee and the flip stake are derived from amountSpecified before the pool runs, so a buy with a price limit one unit below spot pays 0.005 ETH, receives zero $PFWA, scores 100 points and has nothing to hold at settlement or claim. All four attached proofs fail identically on the current code. I kept one proof, the variant that passes under either fix style (scoring on consumed ETH or rejecting partial fills), and confirmed from the v4 core library that afterSwap receives the pool's own delta, so the proposed fix is implementable.

Medium, batched settlement vs. pending flips. Four specialists reported it at low or medium. A flip revealed between batches leaves a scanned player ranked on stale points. My test showed a player at 0 points paid 20% of the pot.

Medium, Robin Hood self-target. The mover can be the lowest of the last 10 and pay themself from the leader. Ten 0.001 ETH moves halved the leader's score.

Medium, uncapped Dice fee. Verified over RPC that the live Dice contract exposes setProviderFee. A 1 ETH quote drains a 1 ETH pot on one flip.

Low. Flip multiplier uses the bonus-inflated stake, late settlement makes prizes unclaimable then sweepable, leader cache freezes past 1500 players (downgraded from medium for the precondition), and Dice refunds arriving outside the operator path are dropped by receive. For the last one, the dropped-ETH behaviour is confirmed but whether Dice lets a third party trigger a refund is not, and the finding says so.

Info. Owner trust assumption around setBuybackPool plus a zero minimum output, kept as a code trace since it is a documented-role power rather than a bypass.

Nothing was dropped. Every specialist claim held up when run. Severities were adjusted in two places as noted above.

highPoints, pot fee and flip stake come from amountSpecified, not the ETH the pool consumed: a price-limited buy scores 100 points for 0.005 ETH, receives no $PFWA and escapes the holding rulessrc/Sherwood.sol:270
beforeSwap derives ethIn from params.amountSpecified (what the swapper offers) and plays the move before the pool runs (line 278: _play(day, tx.origin, ethIn, hookData)). A Uniswap v4 exact-input swap stops at sqrtPriceLimitX96 (or when in-range liquidity runs out) without reverting, so the pool can consume far less than offered; the unconsumed ETH never leaves the swapper.

The hook still takes the 5% pot fee on the full offered amount and scores base = ethIn / 0.001 ETH (capped at 100), scales STEAL / ROBIN_HOOD shares by it and uses the scored amount as a FLIP stake. afterSwap only records bought[day][player] += delta.amount1(), which is the dust actually received.

Consequences: (1) 100 points cost 0.005 ETH of fee plus a few wei instead of 0.1 ETH, with no price impact, no LP fee and no $PFWA exposure, so the daily 50/20/10% ETH prizes (other players' fees, plus fundPot seeds) can be taken for 1/20th of the honest cost; (2) bought is 0, so the settlement forfeit (balance < owed) and MustHoldToClaim never bind for such a player, bypassing the anti-dump mechanism entirely; (3) an honest buyer whose price limit is hit, or whose buy exhausts the one-sided $PFWA range, is overcharged: the 5% fee applies to ETH that was never swapped.

The sell path is asymmetric and correct (afterSwap charges 5% of the realised delta.amount0()).

Fix: score and record buys from realised amounts. Move _play for buys into afterSwap and use ethIn = uint256(-delta.amount0()) + fee (the delta passed to afterSwap is the pool's swap delta, net of the fee removed in beforeSwap), and require delta.amount1() > 0; or keep _play in beforeSwap but revert in afterSwap when -delta.amount0() + fee != ethIn so partially filled buys are rejected. Charge the fee on the filled amount.

Merged from four specialist reports (audit_math, audit_economics, audit_flow, audit_permissions) that all describe this one root cause.
State: the project's test setup (game pool at SQRT_PRICE_1_1, liquidity 100e18 over ticks [-60000, 60000]).

Input: alice reads slot0.sqrtPriceX96 = P and calls swapRouter.swap{value: 0.1 ether} with zeroForOne=true, amountSpecified=-0.1 ether, sqrtPriceLimitX96 = P - 1, hookData abi.encode(0).

Expected: points proportional to the ETH that actually bought $PFWA (0 here, at most 5 for the 0.005 ETH that left the wallet), or the swap rejected.

Actual (all four specialist proofs, run by the judge from test/scratch, fail identically): ETH spent 5000000000000002 wei, PFWA received 0, points(day, alice) == 100, bought(day, alice) == 0.

Repeating per transaction buys 100 points per 0.005 ETH; at settlement owed == 0 so no forfeit applies and claim pays the full prize with a zero $PFWA balance.

The attached proof fails with 'points scored on ETH that never entered the pool: 100 > 5' and passes either when points follow the consumed ETH or when partial fills are rejected.

mediumFlip reveals and expiries still move points after batched settlement has started, so the recorded top-3 can disagree with the day's final points and a zero-score player can be paidsrc/Sherwood.sol:442
settle(day, maxPlayers) copies each scanned player's points into r.top/r.topPoints and advances r.cursor, but r.settled only becomes true after the last batch. _entropyCallback (line 442) and expireFlip (line 456) only check settled, so while r.cursor > 0 and the day is not yet settled they still _credit/_debit points[day].

A change to an already-scanned player is ignored (their stored topPoints stay), while a change to an unscanned player (e.g. the flip's previous, who receives a lost stake) is counted. The ranking therefore mixes pre- and post-reveal scores: a player who lost their flip after being scanned stays in the top 3 at 0 or below (breaking the 'only players above zero can place' rule), and a player credited after being scanned is under-ranked.

Precondition: a flip for the day is still unrevealed at (day+1) 00:15, which the code explicitly plans for (requestV2 try/catch, FLIP_TIMEOUT); settle is permissionless so anyone can call settle(day, 1) to freeze the first entries before a known reveal or expiry, and anyone can time expireFlip after an index has been scanned. The mismatch is permanent (AlreadySettled) and prizes are paid on it.

Fix: treat a day as closed once settlement has begun, i.e. have _entropyCallback and expireFlip return (only deleting the flip) when _results[f.day].cursor != 0 || settled; or keep a per-day pending-flip counter and have settle revert while it is non-zero so pending flips must be expired first. Merged from audit_math, audit_economics, audit_flow and audit_permissions.

Input: settle(D, 1) returns false (alice scanned at 100); Dice reveals sequence 1 as odd: points(D, alice) == 0, points(D, bob) == 160; settle(D, 1) returns true.

Expected: bob places #1 and alice, at 0 points, gets no prize.

Actual (judge test test_A_batchedSettleRanksStalePoints): result(D).top == [bob, alice], topPoints[1] == 100, prize[1] == 2595000000000000 wei (20% of the pot) for alice.
mediumRobin Hood can pay the mover: _lowestRecent excludes only the leader, so the move becomes a cheap, repeatable transfer from the leader to the callersrc/Sherwood.sol:519
_lowestRecent(day, leader) scans the last-10 ring and skips only the leader. The player making the ROBIN_HOOD move is in the ring whenever they played earlier that day (_pushRecent runs after every play), and a mover who is the lowest non-leader entry (always in a two-player game; after a lost flip; or arranged by filling the ring with ten 0.001 ETH buys from the same wallet) receives the leader's 10-33% themself.

The README and NatSpec describe the move as redistribution to the lowest of the last 10 players; in practice it is a steal from the leader that STEAL cannot match (STEAL only reaches the previous player), repeatable as long as the mover stays below the leader. Impact is to points, which decide the daily ETH prizes.

Fix: pass the mover into _lowestRecent and skip a == player as well as the leader; optionally skip duplicate entries so one wallet cannot fill the ring, and skip players with points <= 0 if the intent is to help a trailing positive player. Merged from audit_math (low) and audit_permissions (medium).
State: alice BUY 0.1 ETH (100, leader); bob BUY 0.001 ETH (1); recent ring = [alice, bob].

Input: bob plays ROBIN_HOOD with 0.05 ETH.

Expected: bob ends at 51 and the leader's share goes to another player or nobody.

Actual (judge test test_C_robinHoodPaysMover): target == bob, moved = 100 * 2150 / 10000 = 21, points(day, alice) == 79, points(day, bob) == 72.

Repeat variant (test_C2_robinHoodSelfRepeat): alice 100, carol 50, then ten ROBIN_HOOD buys of 0.001 ETH by bob (0.01 ETH total) leave alice 49, bob 57, carol 54: the leader lost half their score to a 0.01 ETH spend.
mediumThe Dice fee paid from the pot is uncapped: a provider fee increase lets any FLIP send the whole day's pot to Dicesrc/Sherwood.sol:415
_requestFlip pays whatever dice.getFeeV2 quotes as long as pot[day] covers it (lines 410-423). Dice is a Pyth Entropy fork whose provider sets its own fee at any time: the live Dice contract at 0xd8A0680e7699526B57140ED4EAfdCc7219Dc0A0c exposes setProviderFee(uint128) and setProviderFeeAsFeeManager(address,uint128) (the judge verified both selectors in its bytecode and read the current quote of 25000000000000 wei over RPC).

The only guard is the solvency check, so after a fee change the next FLIP by any player drains the pot, which is every player's accumulated 5% fees plus fundPot seeds, up to its full size. FLIP is a permissionless move and the contract cannot distinguish a 0.000025 ETH quote from a 1 ETH quote.

This is a third-party trust dependency rather than a bug in the hook's own arithmetic, but the README asks for scrutiny of 'the Dice fee taken from the pot' and the pot is the game's ETH.

Fix: cap the fee accepted from the pot (an absolute constant such as MAX_DICE_FEE, or a small fraction of pot[day]) and fall back to a plain BUY when the quote exceeds it, exactly as already done when the pot cannot cover it. Reported by audit_permissions.
State: pot[day] = 1 ETH (fundPot seed); the Dice provider fee is 1 ETH (mock setFee).

Input: bob swaps 0.02 ETH with hookData abi.encode(3) (FLIP).

Expected: an out-of-range quote is refused and the move scores as a BUY; the pot stays 1.001 ETH.

Actual (judge test test_E_diceFeeDrainsPot): pot(day) == 0.001 ETH and the Dice contract's balance == 1 ETH.
lowFlip win multiplier scales with the bonus-inflated stake instead of base points, so holder and welcome bonuses count twicesrc/Sherwood.sol:445
The README and the constant comments say Steal, Robin Hood and the flip win scale linearly with the buy's base points, and STEAL / ROBIN_HOOD do pass base to scaledBps (test_holderBonusDoesNotRaiseStealShare checks that intent). A flip win instead passes f.stake, and stake is scored, i.e. base already multiplied by the holder bonus (+25%) and/or welcome bonus (+10%).

The bonus therefore raises both the stake and the multiplier, reaching the 3x cap at an 0.08 ETH buy for a holder-bonus player.

Fix: store base in PendingFlip (or derive it) and pass it to scaledBps. Merged from audit_economics and audit_flow.
State: alice buys 0.01 ETH on day D and still holds it on D+1 (holderBonusActive true).

Input: on D+1 alice FLIPs 0.08 ETH: base 80, flips(1).stake == 100; Dice reveals even (win).

Expected per spec: 100 * scaledBps(20000, 30000, 80) / 10000 = 100 * 28000 / 10000 = 280 points.

Actual (judge test test_B_flipWinMultiplierUsesInflatedStake): scaledBps(..., 100) = 30000, points(D+1, alice) == 300.
lowClaim window is anchored to the day's end, not to settlement: a day settled more than 7 days late has prizes that are instantly unclaimable and sweepablesrc/Sherwood.sol:597
settle has no upper time bound and is permissionless, but claim rejects any call after (day+1)*1 days + CLAIM_WINDOW and sweepUnclaimed (line 630) opens at that same instant. If a day is settled later than 7 days after it ended (nobody called settle, or a large day's batches were never finished), r.prize[] is populated but no winner can ever claim: claim reverts ClaimWindowClosed and the first sweepUnclaimed moves the full prizes into the current pot.

The winners lose ETH they were entitled to while the README promises 7 days to claim. The trigger is unprivileged inaction rather than an attack, but the outcome is irreversible.

Fix: record a settlement timestamp in Result and measure CLAIM_WINDOW (and sweep eligibility) from max(dayEnd, settledAt); or refuse to settle once the claim window would already be closed and roll such a day over explicitly. Merged from audit_math and audit_permissions.
State: day D, alice BUY 0.1 ETH (only player).

Nobody settles.

Input: warp to (D+1)*1 days + 7 days + 1; settle(D, 100) returns true with result(D).prize[0] > 0; alice calls claim(D); anyone calls sweepUnclaimed(D).

Expected: alice has a window to claim.

Actual (judge test test_D_lateSettlementUnclaimable): claim reverts ClaimWindowClosed, sweepUnclaimed succeeds immediately and pot[currentDay()] grows by prize[0].
lowLeader cache freezes for the rest of the day once stale with more than MAX_LEADER_SCAN players; Robin Hood then keeps draining a non-leadersrc/Sherwood.sol:490
_debit sets _leaderStale[day] whenever the cached leader loses points. _currentLeader clears the flag only by rescanning and skips the rescan without clearing it when _players[day].length > 1500 (line 490), while _credit (line 473) refuses to update the cache while the flag is set.

So after one debit of the leader on a day with more than 1500 joined players the leader address is frozen until midnight: every later ROBIN_HOOD move debits the stale address (who may already have been wiped by a sell, in which case the move silently does nothing), the actual leader is immune, and the leader(day) view used by the site is wrong. The README accepts a bounded rescan, but the incremental tracking does not need to stop with it.

Reaching the state costs 1501 distinct 0.001 ETH buys (about 0.075 ETH of fees; the $PFWA is kept) plus gas for the wallets, or simply a busy day.

Fix: in _credit keep comparing against the cached leader even when stale (if (leader == address(0) || updated > points[day][leader]) _leader[day] = player;), and/or have _currentLeader return address(0) when the rescan is skipped so Robin Hood does nothing rather than hitting a known-stale target. Reported by audit_permissions as medium; kept at low for the >1500-player precondition.
State: alice BUY 0.1 ETH (100, leader); 1501 distinct wallets each BUY 0.001 ETH (playerCount == 1502); carol ROBIN_HOOD 0.01 ETH (alice 88, cache stale); bob BUY 0.1 ETH (bob 100 is now the top score).

Input: dave plays ROBIN_HOOD 0.1 ETH.

Expected: alice, no longer the leader, keeps 88 and the move targets bob or nobody.

Actual (judge test test_F_leaderFreezes): leader(day) still returns alice, points(day, alice) == 59, points(day, bob) == 100.
lowETH refunded by Dice outside refundDiceRequest is dropped by receive() and stuck in the contractsrc/Sherwood.sol:220
receive deliberately ignores ETH from Dice because refundDiceRequest measures the balance change itself. But the live Dice contract exposes refundRequest(address,uint64) as a public function (selector 0x361e02a7 is present in its bytecode; the project's own MockDice lets anyone call it).

If a refund for one of the hook's sequences is triggered by any path other than the operator's refundDiceRequest (a third party, a keeper, or Dice's own expiry logic), the ETH arrives through receive with msg.sender == dice, is neither seeded into the pot nor added to buybackReserve, and a later refundDiceRequest for the same sequence finds nothing to credit. The ETH stays in the contract with no path out.

The amount is one Dice fee per request (0.000025 ETH today; see the uncapped-fee finding for how large it can become). Whether Dice allows a non-requester to trigger the refund could not be verified (no verified source is published for chain 4663), so the third-party trigger is a plausible but unconfirmed precondition; the dropping of Dice ETH in receive is confirmed.

Fix: credit ETH received from Dice in receive (to buybackReserve, matching refundDiceRequest) instead of ignoring it, and have refundDiceRequest rely on that path rather than a balance diff. Reported by audit_permissions.
State: alice plays FLIP 0.02 ETH; the pot pays 0.000025 ETH to Dice for sequence 1.

Input: any address calls dice.refundRequest(provider, 1) directly and Dice sends the fee back to the hook.

Expected: the refunded 0.000025 ETH is accounted (buybackReserve or pot).

Actual (judge test test_G_diceRefundOutsideOperatorPathIsUnaccounted): address(hook).balance grows by 25000000000000 wei while pot(day) and buybackReserve are unchanged; the operator's refundDiceRequest(1) afterwards credits nothing.
infoTrust assumption: the owner can route the buyback reserve to themself via setBuybackPool plus minPfwaOut = 0, contrary to the README's 'cannot' columnsrc/Sherwood.sol:694
The README's roles table says the owner cannot touch funds and the operator cannot send reserve ETH anywhere but the buyback swap. In code, setBuybackPool accepts any ETH/$PFWA pool whose hook is not Sherwood and whose id is not the game pool, and buybackAndBurn lets the caller pick minPfwaOut (0 allowed).

An owner-created pool with a hook that returns a beforeSwapDelta claiming almost the whole specified ETH and takes it makes unlockCallback settle ethPaid == amount while pfwaOut is dust, which passes minOut 0; independently, minPfwaOut = 0 lets the operator sandwich their own buyback in the holder pool. This is a privileged-actor power, not a permission bypass, and is reported so the roles table can be corrected or the power narrowed.

Possible narrowing that keeps the design: pin the buyback pool once (set-once like poolId) or restrict its hook to address(0) or an allow-list, and enforce a minimum output derived from the holder pool's price. Reported by audit_permissions.
Code trace: setBuybackPool (lines 690-699) checks only currency0 == ETH, currency1 == pfwa, id != poolId and hooks != this; buybackAndBurn (line 646) accepts minPfwaOut == 0 and unlockCallback (lines 655-668) uses the returned swap delta as ethPaid/pfwaOut with no external price check.

Input: owner calls setBuybackPool(key) with key.hooks a hook returning toBeforeSwapDelta(int128(amount - 1), 0) that takes amount - 1 ETH, then buybackAndBurn(R, 0).

Expected per README: reserve ETH can only be swapped for $PFWA and burned.

Actual: ethPaid == R is settled to the PoolManager, which credits R - 1 to the owner's hook; BuybackBurned is emitted with a dust burn.

Not executed as a test (info-level trust assumption).
