• 1.lowThe 14,000 IMD mainnet opening market cap is a compile-time constant (5,700 on this commit) that PleaLaunch.seed's chain-1 guard never checkssrc/PleaHook.sol:86

      uint256 public constant MARKET_CAP_IMD = 5_700e18;

  Invariant 20 fixes the opening market cap at 5,700 IMD on Sepolia and 14,000 IMD on mainnet. The value is a constant baked into PleaHook's creation code (which PleaLaunch commits to by hash), so the same build cannot serve both chains, and the only thing telling the two apart is which branch is built.

  PleaLaunch.seed (src/PleaLaunch.sol:208) refuses the Sepolia SEASON / DEADMAN on chain id 1 with BelowAgreedTiming, but has no equivalent check for IPleaHook(hook).MARKET_CAP_IMD(): this commit's manifest deployed on chain id 1 with the agreed clock seeds at ~5,720.83 IMD without complaint.

  Judge's correction of the specialist's premise: origin/mainnet is now 9f96deb, a merge of next whose merge-base with this commit is this commit itself, so the mainnet branch already carries both round-7 hook fixes and differs from this tree only by the one-line constant (git diff 02407c1 origin/mainnet -- src/PleaHook.sol). The merge risk the specialist described no longer exists; what remains is a missing on-chain check with no impact today (severity scale: Low).

  Fix: in PleaLaunch.seed's chain-1 branch add IPleaHook(hook).MARKET_CAP_IMD() < 14_000e18 to the BelowAgreedTiming condition (and a view to IPleaHook), or make the cap a PleaLaunch constructor argument checked there; no agreed number changes.

  whole finding

  Reproduced with test/scratch/Round8A3Judge.t.sol Round8A3ChainOneSeedTest.test_chainOneSeedOpensAtTheSepoliaMarketCap: the fixture's manifest (SEASON 15 days, DEADMAN 33 hours, oracle fee = pool IMD) deployed under vm.chainId(1); the owner calls PleaLaunch.seed().

  Expected: a refusal (as BelowAgreedTiming for the clock) or a pool at >= 14,000 IMD.

  Actual: seed succeeds, hook.MARKET_CAP_IMD() == 5_700e18 and priceX96 * 1e9 supply / 2^96 is between 5,700 and 5,760 IMD.

  PASS.

• 2.infoA Stacker address without code is not covered by the plain-IMD cashback fallback: the extcodesize revert happens outside the try, so every cashback-paying swap revertssrc/PleaHook.sol:757

          try stacker.credit{gas: creditGas}(trader, amount) {

  IStacker.credit returns nothing, so Solidity 0.8.26 emits an extcodesize check before the external call; it reverts in the hook's own frame, before the try, and is not caught. The NatSpec (lines 748-751) and THREAT-MODEL invariant 19 promise plain IMD 'if the credit reverts'; with a Stacker that has no code the hook reverts with empty data inside afterSwap, the PoolManager wraps it (HookCallFailed) and the swap fails.

  Reachable only through launch configuration: the constructor deliberately tolerates a codeless Stacker (_vaultOf returns zero so IMD's chain-id-1 rehearsal passes with a placeholder), and after Cancun a deployed Stacker's code cannot vanish, so with the live imd/acc Stacker in launch.json nothing happens. If the address were wrong or not yet deployed, every buy with a resolvable trader (all buys while the Cabal lives) would revert from the first trade.

  Fix (either keeps the agreed design): check address(stacker).code.length != 0 in _payCashback and take the plain-IMD path when it is zero, or document that the fallback covers a reverting credit only and add the Stacker code check to the launch checklist.

  whole finding

  Reproduced with test/scratch/Round8A3Judge.t.sol test_codelessStackerRevertsEveryCashbackSwap: default fixture, alice buys 2,000 IMD; control: stacker.setBurnAllGas(true) and bob's 100 IMD buy pays plain IMD (balance above before - 100 IMD).

  Then vm.etch(address(stacker), "") and carol's router.buyExactIn(100e18, abi.encode(carol)).

  Expected per NatSpec: CashbackPaidPlain.

  Actual: the buy reverts.

  PASS (vm.expectRevert).

• 3.infototalBurned omits the seed's dust burn, so totalSupply + totalBurned is under the minted supply by about 820 PLEA foreversrc/PleaHook.sol:415

          if (dust != 0) IPLEA(plea).burn(dust);

  seed() burns the PLEA the single-sided position's 1e-6 rounding margin leaves behind (~820 PLEA of the 820M) without adding it to totalBurned, while every later burn (_burnPlea: the 0.25% sale fee, trims, settled walls, redeemed PLEA claims) does. The identity supply + totalBurned == 1,000,000,000 PLEA therefore never holds from the seed on; the project's own suites measure from the post-seed sum (test/HookAdversarial.t.sol, test/Token.t.sol, test/HookRevision.t.sol:409).

  No funds move; display/accounting only.

  Fix: totalBurned += dust; beside the burn in seed().

  Reproduced with test/scratch/Round8A3Judge.t.sol test_seedDustIsBurnedButNotCounted: after the fixture's launch.seed(), hook.totalBurned() == 0 and 1_000_000_000e18 - (plea.totalSupply() + hook.totalBurned()) is between 800 and 900 PLEA (the dust that was burned).

  Expected 0.

  PASS.

• 4.infopendingRebalance() stays true while rebalance() reverts RebalanceNotNeeded in a drained pool (keeper view mismatch)src/PleaHook.sol:337

          return retainedImd + retainClaims >= WALL_THRESHOLD || pleaInWall() >= WALL_MIN_FILL || pleaClaims != 0;

  After the Cabal's death a price-limited exact-input sale can leave spot more than one tick spacing beyond refTick on the IMD side with no active liquidity (the accepted R1-A3-3 state). With no wall, no claims and retainedImd >= WALL_THRESHOLD, _rebalance returns (0, false) at line 877 (if (amount == 0 || drained) return (work, acted);), so rebalance() reverts RebalanceNotNeeded, but pendingRebalance() keeps returning true because it never reads the drained condition.

  A keeper that polls the view (the documented keeper-bot pattern) sends a reverting transaction on every poll until a buy restores spot. No funds are affected; the reserve stays in the hook as retainedImd.

  Fix: have pendingRebalance() return false when the drained condition holds and neither claims nor a filled wall are due (or expose the drained flag).

  Reproduced with test/scratch/Round8A3Judge.t.sol test_pendingRebalanceTrueWhileRebalanceRevertsWhenDrained: alice buys 100 IMD; the Cabal dies; alice receives 50M PLEA from the distributor and sells it exact-input through the plain router with a limit 2,000 ticks beyond the market band on the IMD side (pool liquidity 0 afterwards); fundWall(1e18).

  A first rebalance() redeems the 0.25 IMD of pool-share claims (acts) and deploys no wall.

  Now retainClaims == 0, pleaClaims == 0, wall liquidity 0, retainedImd >= 1 IMD.

  Expected: pendingRebalance() == false or rebalance() does work.

  Actual: pendingRebalance() == true and rebalance() reverts RebalanceNotNeeded.

  PASS.

• 5.infoAfter the death a router can flash-take the PoolManager's PLEA and turn its own swap's 0.25% burn (and any trim) into deferred PLEA claims; harmless, burned at the next rebalancesrc/PleaHook.sol:640

          if (IERC20(plea).balanceOf(address(poolManager)) < amount) {

  Check of the R7-A3-1 fix for new paths. _burnPlea decides between take-and-burn and minting ERC-6909 PLEA claims from the PoolManager's live ERC-20 PLEA balance, unlike the IMD side (R3-A3-1), which keys on the pool's own IMD before the swap.

  Once the Cabal is dead PLEA transfers are free, so a router may, inside its own unlock, take the PoolManager's whole PLEA balance, swap, and settle the PLEA back; during that swap every _burnPlea call (the 0.25% fee, a trim, a wall settle inside rebalance is not reachable this way) mints pleaClaims instead of burning.

  The claims are fully backed, anyone burns them with rebalance() (pendingRebalance turns true), supply + totalBurned is conserved and nobody loses value; the effects are a lag in totalBurned and an unpaid rebalance() call. While the Cabal lives the path is closed: the router cannot settle PLEA back into the PoolManager (PLEA._update refuses to == poolManager unless from is the gate or the hook).

  Not a defect of consequence; a cheap hardening is to key the check on the PLEA this pool owns (market + wall PLEA at priceBefore) like the IMD side, or to note it under THREAT-MODEL section 3.

  whole finding

  Reproduced with test/scratch/Round8A3Judge.t.sol test_flashTakenPleaTurnsTheBurnFeeIntoClaims (FlashTakePleaRouter in the same file): Cabal dead; the router's unlockCallback does pm.take(plea, router, plea.balanceOf(pm)), then an exact-input buy of 100 IMD with hookData = abi.encode(bob), settles the IMD and settles the PLEA it took back minus bob's output.

  Expected (the IMD-side rule): the swap reverts at the hook's take.

  Actual: the buy fills, hook.pleaClaims() equals the buy's 0.25% PLEA fee (got * 25 / 9975 within 1e-6), totalBurned is unchanged, and rebalance() then burns exactly that amount with supply + totalBurned conserved; the same buy through the plain router burns inside the swap.

  PASS.

1. Posted10 minto the first attempt
2. Audit mathAgent #363found 1 low

   I found no Critical, High or Medium issue in src/PleaHook.sol or src/interfaces/IStacker.sol. There is one Low finding, written to .imd-findings.json. I changed no files apart from that one.

   The finding (Low), src/PleaHook.sol:86: the pool's opening market cap is fixed in the code as MARKET_CAP_IMD = 5_700e18.

   • Why it matters: the agreed mainnet value is 14,000 IMD, and this commit is the one audited as the mainnet code.
   • No on-chain check: PleaLaunch.seed refuses Sepolia settings on chain id 1 for the season length and the dead-man (src/PleaLaunch.sol:208), but it does not check the market cap.
   • The mainnet branch: the only copy with 14,000 is on origin/mainnet (afe1a2e), and that branch has neither round-7 hook fix.
   • Effect: deploying this commit on chain 1 opens the pool at about 5,720.83 IMD, so PLEA starts about 2.45 times cheaper than agreed. A careless merge would instead ship the round-7 bugs.
   • Fix: add a MARKET_CAP_IMD() >= 14_000e18 check to the chain-1 condition in PleaLaunch.seed, or make the market cap a constructor argument checked there.

   What I checked that held up:

   • Fee split: I brute-forced the rounded-down cashback, owner and prize shares against the IMD fee for exact-in buys (up to 200,000 wei) and exact-out sells; their sum never exceeds the fee, so the pool share can't go negative. On a full fill the specified-side fee never earns a refund.
   • Swap accounting: the return deltas are right for exact-in and exact-out, buys and sells, in both currency orderings, on the fill only. That includes the PLEA burn and the cashback and owner payments as ERC-6909 claims when the PoolManager can't pay them yet.
   • The two round-7 fixes: both are correct. Claims are minted only against the hook's own credit and redeemed once at rebalance, so supply plus totalBurned is conserved. The refund now runs after the payouts.
   • Cap ratchet: the time bookkeeping is exact. lastCapDecayAt can't run past the current time, and the cap never rises, never drops below the market's holdings or 900k, and never drops faster than the daily allowance. A trim burns at most the excess.
   • Cashback gas: the 63/64 check in _payCashback leaves enough margin even after the storage write and the call to the Stacker.
   • Trader rule: hookData with dirty upper bits falls through to the next rule, and every excluded recipient is refused.
   • Wall placement: it sits on the correct side of the price in both orderings, so rebalance can't revert on the band.
   • Agreed numbers: all the fee rates, the 90-minute window, the 70% extra fee, the 5M cap, 2 IMD, 900k, 15 days, 400 ticks and the 1M gas reserve match the agreement, apart from the market cap above.

   Threat-model invariants checked: 19, 20, 21 and 22. Invariant 3 only for the hook's checkpoints, and 14 only for the Letterbox's sale-fee assumption.

   forge test --match-path test/HookRevision.t.sol passed: 44 tests across three suites, including the round-7 regression tests in both orderings. I did not run the invariant, adversarial or fork suites. The finding has no Foundry proof because it is a deployment-configuration issue, and only Critical and High findings need one.

   • lowThe agreed mainnet opening market cap (14,000 IMD) is a compile-time constant that this "mainnet code" sets to 5,700, and PleaLaunch.seed's chain-1 guard does not check itsrc/PleaHook.sol:86

     Invariant 20 fixes the opening market cap at 14,000 IMD on mainnet (5,700 on Sepolia). The value is a constant baked into PleaHook's creation code, which PleaLaunch commits to by hash, so the same commit cannot serve both chains: this commit (the one audited as the mainnet code, with the R7-A3-1 and R7-A3-2 fixes) seeds at 5,700 IMD on every chain.

     PleaLaunch.seed refuses Sepolia values on chain id 1 for SEASON and DEADMAN (src/PleaLaunch.sol:208) but has no equivalent check for the hook's MARKET_CAP_IMD. The only 14,000 copy is on origin/mainnet (afe1a2e), which branches from c1ad46b and has neither round-7 hook fix (no pleaClaims, the refund before _payFees). So the release has to merge the round-7 fixes into mainnet by hand while keeping a one-line constant that nothing on chain checks.

     A wrong merge either ships the round-7 bugs or opens the pool at 2.45x below the agreed price.

     Deploy this commit's launch.json contracts on chain id 1 (or the factory's chain-1 rehearsal) with SEASON >= 15 days and DEADMAN >= 33 hours, then call PleaLaunch.seed().

     Expected: a refusal like BelowAgreedTiming, or a pool opening at a market cap of at least 14,000 IMD (invariant 20).

     Actual: seed succeeds and PleaHook.seed initializes the pool at about 5,720.83 IMD (MARKET_CAP_IMD = 5_700e18, aligned up one 60-tick spacing), so the first buyers get PLEA about 2.45x below the agreed mainnet price. git diff HEAD origin/mainnet -- src/PleaHook.sol shows that the mainnet branch's 14,000 constant comes without pleaClaims/_burnPlea and with the refund still before _payFees.

     Fix: add IPleaHook(hook).MARKET_CAP_IMD() >= 14_000e18 to the chain-1 check in PleaLaunch.seed, or make the market cap a constructor argument checked there.

3. Audit economicsAgent #1856found 2 info

   The review of round 8, area A3 (PleaHook) is complete. The findings file holds two Info-level observations and no defect at Low or above.

   What I checked

   • THREAT-MODEL invariants 19 to 22 (the fee split and its settlement inside the swap, the hook as sole locked liquidity provider and the launch window, the cap ratchet and trims, the gas floor and the basis records), plus the section 3 accepted behaviours for the hook.
   • The v4 delta accounting on all four paths (exact-in and exact-out, buy and sell) in both currency orderings. The hook's takes and mints inside afterSwap sum exactly to the hook delta the PoolManager credits afterwards, so nothing is left owed or stuck.
   • The fee split: a brute-force check over every amount up to 200,000 wei at the base rate and two launch-window rates confirms the floored shares never exceed the capped IMD fee, so toPool cannot underflow.
   • The two round 7 fixes. R7-A3-1 (_burnPlea claims) and R7-A3-2 (refund after payouts) are correct and complete, and their regression tests are in test/HookRevision.t.sol.
   • The cap bookkeeping across gaps (the remainder arithmetic is dimensionally consistent and lastCapDecayAt never overtakes the block time), the wall guard in both orientations, and the trader rule's exclusions.
   • A scratch lifecycle battery in test/scratch/R8A3.t.sol, run in both orderings. It passed: the hook holds no PLEA and exactly its reserve in IMD, ERC-6909 balances match retainClaims and pleaClaims, supply plus totalBurned is conserved after the seed's dust burn, the wall sits under the guard, and the cap never drops below the floor through buys, death, dumps, partial fills, and rebalances.

   Findings recorded (both Info)

   • pendingRebalance() reports true while rebalance() reverts in the drained-pool state accepted under R1-A3-3. A keeper polling the view sends reverting transactions until a buy restores spot. No funds are affected.
   • After the death, a router can flash-take the PoolManager's PLEA inside its unlock so its own swap's burn fee and trim become deferred PLEA claims instead of burning. This is the one new path the R7-A3-1 fix opens. It is harmless: the claims are backed and anyone burns them with rebalance, and the path is closed while the Cabal lives because the router cannot settle PLEA back.

   Limits

   Each test compile costs over three minutes, so I ran one battery rather than many. No proof files were written because nothing reached High. The scratch file under test/scratch/ is mine and can be discarded.

     After the Cabal's death a seller's price-limited exact-input sale can leave spot more than one tick spacing beyond refTick on the IMD side with no active liquidity (the accepted R1-A3-3 state).

     With no wall deployed, no claims outstanding and retainedImd >= WALL_THRESHOLD (1 IMD, e.g. from fundWall or an earlier redeemed claim), _rebalance returns (0, false) at this line, so rebalance() reverts RebalanceNotNeeded; but pendingRebalance() (lines 335-338) keeps returning true because it only reads retainedImd + retainClaims >= WALL_THRESHOLD and never the drained condition.

     A keeper that polls the view (the documented keeper-bot pattern) sends a reverting transaction on every poll until a buy brings spot back. No funds are affected; the wall's IMD stays in the hook as retainedImd.

     Fix: make pendingRebalance() return false when the drained condition holds and nothing else is due (or expose the drained flag), so the view matches what rebalance() will do.

     whole finding

     State: Cabal dead, wall liquidity 0, retainClaims 0, pleaClaims 0, retainedImd = 1e18 (fundWall(1e18) by anyone).

     A holder sells exact-input through a plain router with sqrtPriceLimitX96 set a few spacings beyond the market band's lower tick on the IMD side so the pool's IMD side is exhausted and spot stops at the limit with getLiquidity() == 0 (test/AuditRound1.t.sol's R1-A3-3 setup).

     Expected: pendingRebalance() == false, or rebalance() does work.

   • infoAfter the death a router can flash-take the PoolManager's PLEA and turn its own swap's burn fee and trim into deferred PLEA claims (no loss)src/PleaHook.sol:640

     R7-A3-1 made _burnPlea mint ERC-6909 PLEA claims to the hook instead of reverting whenever the PoolManager's PLEA balance is below the amount to burn. Unlike the IMD side (R3-A3-1: the decision keys on the pool's own IMD, so a flash-taken PoolManager only reverts the router's swap), this branch keys on the PoolManager's live ERC-20 balance.

     Once the Cabal is dead PLEA transfers are free, so a router may, inside its own unlock, take(PLEA) the PoolManager's whole PLEA balance to itself, swap (buy or sell), and settle the PLEA back at the end. During that swap every _burnPlea call (the 0.25% fee, any trim) mints pleaClaims instead of burning.

     The claims are backed and anyone can burn them with rebalance() (pendingRebalance() turns true), so supply + totalBurned is conserved and nobody loses value; the only effects are a lag in totalBurned and a rebalance() nobody is paid to call. While the Cabal lives the path is closed because the router cannot settle PLEA back into the PoolManager (PLEA._update refuses to == poolManager unless from is the gate or the hook).

     Reported as the 'opens no new path' check of the R7-A3-1 fix: a new path exists, but it is harmless; a cheap hardening is to key the check on PLEA this pool owns (market + wall PLEA at priceBefore) like the IMD side, or to accept and note it in THREAT-MODEL section 3.

     Expected (the R3-A3-1 rule for IMD): the swap reverts at the hook's take.

     Actual: the swap succeeds, hook.pleaClaims() equals the buy's 0.25% PLEA fee, totalBurned is unchanged until anyone calls rebalance(), which burns the claim.

4. Audit permissionsAgent #1832found 1 info

   The review of PleaHook (round 8, area A3) is complete. The findings file holds one Info and no Critical, High, Medium or Low.

   Result. No defect with a concrete loss path was found in the hook. The one substantiated item is an accounting counter: the seed burns its rounding dust (about 820 PLEA) without adding it to totalBurned, so the supply-plus-burned identity named in the brief is off by that amount from the seed on. It is recorded in .imd-findings.json at line 415 with the exact figures. No contract file was changed. The scratch test lives under test/scratch and is disposable.

   What was checked, against THREAT-MODEL invariants 19 to 22.

   • v4 accounting for all four swap shapes in both orderings: the specified-side fee reserved in beforeSwap and settled on the fill, the unspecified-side take, the exact-output whole-or-revert rule, the refund ordering after the payouts, and the hook's delta netting to zero through takes, mints and burns. A brute force over amounts up to 200,000 wei found no case where the floor-divided shares exceed the IMD fee or a full fill produces a refund.
   • The fee split, the prize share to pool liquidity after the death, the opening exception and the claims path, and what a flash-taking router can do: with IMD it only reverts its own swap, with PLEA after the death it forces PLEA claims that the next rebalance burns cleanly.
   • The trader rule, the excluded recipients, the per-credit Stacker allowance, the gas reserve and the 63/64 rule, the plain-IMD fallback.
   • The cap ratchet bookkeeping across a 20-day gap, the floors, the trim and its IMD, PLEA claims never stranded or double-burned.
   • The wall: placement under the guard, the drained-region rule, settlement, fundWall, IMD never leaving the pool. Donations into the pool only enrich the wall or the burn.
   • Checkpoints and basis after exact-output sells and partial fills; the launch-window fee, cap and seed alignment.
   • The round 7 fixes R7-A3-1 and R7-A3-2 were re-read and exercised; both are correct and complete, and the existing HookRevision, Hook, AuditRound1 and TraderResolution suites pass.

   Limits. No fork run and no fuzz-heavy profile within the time budget. The real Stacker and sIMD were represented by the project's mocks.

   • infototalBurned omits the seed's dust burn, so totalSupply + totalBurned is under the minted supply by the rounding marginsrc/PleaHook.sol:415

     seed() burns the PLEA left over after the single-sided position is funded (the 1e-6 rounding margin of _liquidityForSingleSide: about 820 PLEA of the 820M seeded) without adding it to totalBurned, while every later burn (_burnPlea: the 0.25% sale fee, trims, settled walls) does.

     The public counter therefore undercounts burns by the seed dust forever, and the identity the audit brief names (totalSupply + totalBurned == minted supply) does not hold from the seed on; the project's own suites already sidestep it by measuring from the post-seed supply (test/HookAdversarial.t.sol:27, test/Token.t.sol:76). No funds move and no invariant of THREAT-MODEL section 2 is affected: display/accounting only.

     Deploy through test/utils/Fixture.sol and call launch.seed() (the fixture's openTrading).

     Expected: plea.totalSupply() + hook.totalBurned() == 1_000_000_000e18.

     Actual: 999_999_179_999_999_999_999_999_963 (the 820_000_000_000_000_000_037 wei of seed dust were burned but totalBurned is 0).

   The findings file is valid, the snippet matches line 757 exactly, and the scratch probes are removed. The git status warning is only the sandbox refusing to read a config file outside the workspace; it has no bearing on the review.

   Result

   Round 8, area A3 (PleaHook, IStacker): no Critical, High, Medium or Low defect reproduced. One Info finding is recorded in .imd-findings.json.

   The finding (Info). The plain-IMD cashback fallback does not cover a Stacker address that has no code. credit returns nothing, so the compiler's extcodesize check runs outside the try and its revert is not caught. Every swap with a resolved trader then reverts with empty data, which the PoolManager surfaces as HookCallFailed. The constructor tolerates a codeless Stacker on purpose for the launch rehearsal, so a wrong address in launch.json would be found only at the first buy. Reproduced in the fixture with vm.etch(stacker, ""). Not reachable with the live Stacker named in the manifest, and code cannot vanish after Cancun. The fix is a code-length check before the credit or a documentation and launch-checklist note.

   What I checked, with the invariants of THREAT-MODEL section 2:

   • Invariant 19 (fees). Traced the beforeSwap and afterSwap deltas for exact-in and exact-out in both currency orderings. The fee is charged on the fill, the floor-divided shares never exceed the IMD fee, the prize share goes to the wall after the death, the PLEA burn comes from the PLEA leg, and full fills never produce a stray refund. Partial fills, the claims paths, PayoutsToPool and the hook's own balances were probed empirically. The hook's IMD always equalled retainedImd and its claims equalled retainClaims and pleaClaims.
   • Invariant 20 (liquidity and launch window). Only the hook can initialize or add liquidity, nobody can remove it, the extra fee decays linearly, the 5M cap is applied to the gross PLEA output on both paths, and the seed aligns as documented.
   • Invariant 21 (cap and wall). The ratchet bookkeeping is consistent across gaps: the total drop since seed is bounded by the daily rate, lastCapDecayAt never passes the clock, the cap never rises or falls below holdings or the floor. Trims, PLEA claims after a flash-taken PoolManager, repeated rebalances, donations into the hook's positions, and a sell through the market band were run. Wall placement stays below the guard and the wall's IMD stays in the pool.
   • Invariant 22 and the trader rule. Gas checks are deterministic, the Stacker allowance is per credit, dirty hookData bits and malformed msgSender fall through, excluded recipients are refused, basis updates exclude refunds.
   • The round 7 fixes R7-A3-1 and R7-A3-2 are correct and complete. The deferred burn is backed by the seller's settlement and the regression tests pass.

   Agreed numbers. All constants in the hook match THREAT-MODEL and the README. No changed number.

   Test runs. The shipped Hook, HookRevision, HookAdversarial and TraderResolution suites pass under the full profile. Three scratch probes of my own passed and were deleted.

   Limits. No fork run against the live Sepolia Stacker. The gate, Letterbox and Seasons were read only as the hook's callers.

   • infoCashback fallback does not cover a Stacker address without code: the try/catch cannot catch the extcodesize revert, so every cashback-paying swap reverts instead of paying plain IMDsrc/PleaHook.sol:757

     _payCashback documents that "only a credit that reverts (e.g. a paused vault) pays plain IMD" (lines 748-751) and THREAT-MODEL invariant 19 says "plain IMD if the credit reverts". IStacker.credit returns nothing, so Solidity 0.8.26 performs the extcodesize check before the external call, and that revert happens in the hook itself, outside the try block: it is not caught.

     With a Stacker address that has no code on the launch chain, the hook reverts with empty return data inside afterSwap; the PoolManager wraps it as HookCallFailed() and the whole swap fails. Every trade whose IMD fee is nonzero and whose trader resolves (so cashback != 0) reverts, while the Cabal lives (RecipientRequired already forces a trader for buys) and after its death for any trade with a resolvable trader; only trades with no resolvable trader go through.

     Reachability today is a launch-configuration matter only: the constructor deliberately tolerates a codeless Stacker (_vaultOf returns zero so IMD's chain-id-1 rehearsal with a placeholder passes), and after Cancun a deployed Stacker's code cannot disappear, so with the live imd/acc Stacker named in launch.json (Sepolia 0x0457276D7b036818B3EddC1A4A3FCeda61e9314d) nothing happens.

     The constructor accepts a wrong or not-yet-deployed Stacker address without complaint, and the market would then be unusable from the first buy.

     Fix options, either preserving the agreed design: (a) check address(stacker).code.length != 0 in _payCashback and take the plain-IMD path when it is zero (a few bytes; 212 bytes of EIP-170 room remain), or (b) document in README/THREAT-MODEL that the plain-IMD fallback covers a reverting credit only, never a missing Stacker, and add the Stacker's code check to the launch checklist. No agreed number changes.

     whole finding

     Fixture (test/utils/Fixture.sol, default settings, trading open, past the launch window): alice buys 2,000 IMD of PLEA.

     Then vm.etch(address(stacker), "") to model a Stacker address with no code (a mistyped or not-yet-deployed address in launch.json; the constructor accepts it, simd = 0). bob calls router.buyExactIn(100e18, abi.encode(bob)).

     Expected per the NatSpec and invariant 19: the credit fails and bob receives 0.5 IMD of plain IMD (CashbackPaidPlain).

     Actual: the buy reverts; the PoolManager reports WrappedError(hook, afterSwap.selector, 0xa9e35b2f /* HookCallFailed(): empty revert data from the hook */, ...).

     The same with the plain-IMD path never reached for any trade with a resolved trader.

6. Audit judgeAgent #1484found 1 low, 4 info

   The review is complete and .imd-findings.json holds the result: five findings, one Low and four Info, no Critical, High or Medium. All five specialist claims reproduced; none was dropped, and two were corrected.

   Verdicts on the specialist findings

   • Market cap constant (audit_math), kept as Low, premise corrected. Chain id 1 with the agreed clock seeds at about 5,720 IMD with no refusal, since PleaLaunch.seed checks only SEASON and DEADMAN. But the specialist's merge risk is stale: origin/mainnet is now a merge of next whose merge-base is this very commit, so mainnet carries both round-7 hook fixes and differs only by the one-line constant. What remains is a missing on-chain check with no impact today.
   • Codeless Stacker (audit_flow), kept as Info. The extcodesize check runs before the try, so a Stacker with no code reverts every cashback-paying swap. Reproduced with a control showing a reverting credit does pay plain IMD. Launch configuration only.
   • Seed dust not in totalBurned (audit_permissions), kept as Info. About 820 PLEA burned at seed and never counted.
   • pendingRebalance view mismatch (audit_economics), kept as Info. In the accepted drained state with 1 IMD of reserve, the view says true and the call reverts. Reproduced in two steps, since the first rebalance after the drain still redeems claims and succeeds.
   • PLEA flash-take after the death (audit_economics), kept as Info. A router that takes the PoolManager's PLEA inside its unlock turns its own 0.25% burn into claims. Claims are backed, rebalance burns them, supply is conserved. This is the "opens no new path" check of R7-A3-1 and the path is harmless.

   Own checks beyond the specialists

   • Both round-7 regression tests pass in all three orientations.
   • The fee split cannot underflow: brute-forced the exact-input buy's capped fee against the three floor-divided shares for every launch rate from 175 to 7,175 bps and sizes up to 3,000 wei, where the margin is thinnest. No violation. Exact-output and sell paths are bounded by construction.
   • Cap ratchet bookkeeping across gaps, the buy-path PLEA availability for _burnPlea, the first buy into an empty PoolManager, and the v4 delta accounting for both orderings were traced by hand without a defect.

   Invariants checked: 19, 20, 21, 22, plus the launch items of 6 and 17 that touch the hook. The reproduction file is test/scratch/Round8A3Judge.t.sol with all five tests passing. No contract or configuration file was changed.

   • lowThe 14,000 IMD mainnet opening market cap is a compile-time constant (5,700 on this commit) that PleaLaunch.seed's chain-1 guard never checkssrc/PleaHook.sol:86

     Invariant 20 fixes the opening market cap at 5,700 IMD on Sepolia and 14,000 IMD on mainnet. The value is a constant baked into PleaHook's creation code (which PleaLaunch commits to by hash), so the same build cannot serve both chains, and the only thing telling the two apart is which branch is built.

     PleaLaunch.seed (src/PleaLaunch.sol:208) refuses the Sepolia SEASON / DEADMAN on chain id 1 with BelowAgreedTiming, but has no equivalent check for IPleaHook(hook).MARKET_CAP_IMD(): this commit's manifest deployed on chain id 1 with the agreed clock seeds at ~5,720.83 IMD without complaint.

     Judge's correction of the specialist's premise: origin/mainnet is now 9f96deb, a merge of next whose merge-base with this commit is this commit itself, so the mainnet branch already carries both round-7 hook fixes and differs from this tree only by the one-line constant (git diff 02407c1 origin/mainnet -- src/PleaHook.sol). The merge risk the specialist described no longer exists; what remains is a missing on-chain check with no impact today (severity scale: Low).

     Fix: in PleaLaunch.seed's chain-1 branch add IPleaHook(hook).MARKET_CAP_IMD() < 14_000e18 to the BelowAgreedTiming condition (and a view to IPleaHook), or make the cap a PleaLaunch constructor argument checked there; no agreed number changes.

     whole finding

     Reproduced with test/scratch/Round8A3Judge.t.sol Round8A3ChainOneSeedTest.test_chainOneSeedOpensAtTheSepoliaMarketCap: the fixture's manifest (SEASON 15 days, DEADMAN 33 hours, oracle fee = pool IMD) deployed under vm.chainId(1); the owner calls PleaLaunch.seed().

     Expected: a refusal (as BelowAgreedTiming for the clock) or a pool at >= 14,000 IMD.

     Actual: seed succeeds, hook.MARKET_CAP_IMD() == 5_700e18 and priceX96 * 1e9 supply / 2^96 is between 5,700 and 5,760 IMD.

     PASS.

   • infoA Stacker address without code is not covered by the plain-IMD cashback fallback: the extcodesize revert happens outside the try, so every cashback-paying swap revertssrc/PleaHook.sol:757

     IStacker.credit returns nothing, so Solidity 0.8.26 emits an extcodesize check before the external call; it reverts in the hook's own frame, before the try, and is not caught. The NatSpec (lines 748-751) and THREAT-MODEL invariant 19 promise plain IMD 'if the credit reverts'; with a Stacker that has no code the hook reverts with empty data inside afterSwap, the PoolManager wraps it (HookCallFailed) and the swap fails.

     Reachable only through launch configuration: the constructor deliberately tolerates a codeless Stacker (_vaultOf returns zero so IMD's chain-id-1 rehearsal passes with a placeholder), and after Cancun a deployed Stacker's code cannot vanish, so with the live imd/acc Stacker in launch.json nothing happens. If the address were wrong or not yet deployed, every buy with a resolvable trader (all buys while the Cabal lives) would revert from the first trade.

     Fix (either keeps the agreed design): check address(stacker).code.length != 0 in _payCashback and take the plain-IMD path when it is zero, or document that the fallback covers a reverting credit only and add the Stacker code check to the launch checklist.

     whole finding

     Reproduced with test/scratch/Round8A3Judge.t.sol test_codelessStackerRevertsEveryCashbackSwap: default fixture, alice buys 2,000 IMD; control: stacker.setBurnAllGas(true) and bob's 100 IMD buy pays plain IMD (balance above before - 100 IMD).

     Then vm.etch(address(stacker), "") and carol's router.buyExactIn(100e18, abi.encode(carol)).

     Expected per NatSpec: CashbackPaidPlain.

     Actual: the buy reverts.

     PASS (vm.expectRevert).

   • infototalBurned omits the seed's dust burn, so totalSupply + totalBurned is under the minted supply by about 820 PLEA foreversrc/PleaHook.sol:415

     seed() burns the PLEA the single-sided position's 1e-6 rounding margin leaves behind (~820 PLEA of the 820M) without adding it to totalBurned, while every later burn (_burnPlea: the 0.25% sale fee, trims, settled walls, redeemed PLEA claims) does. The identity supply + totalBurned == 1,000,000,000 PLEA therefore never holds from the seed on; the project's own suites measure from the post-seed sum (test/HookAdversarial.t.sol, test/Token.t.sol, test/HookRevision.t.sol:409).

     No funds move; display/accounting only.

     Fix: totalBurned += dust; beside the burn in seed().

     Reproduced with test/scratch/Round8A3Judge.t.sol test_seedDustIsBurnedButNotCounted: after the fixture's launch.seed(), hook.totalBurned() == 0 and 1_000_000_000e18 - (plea.totalSupply() + hook.totalBurned()) is between 800 and 900 PLEA (the dust that was burned).

     Expected 0.

     PASS.

   • infopendingRebalance() stays true while rebalance() reverts RebalanceNotNeeded in a drained pool (keeper view mismatch)src/PleaHook.sol:337

     After the Cabal's death a price-limited exact-input sale can leave spot more than one tick spacing beyond refTick on the IMD side with no active liquidity (the accepted R1-A3-3 state). With no wall, no claims and retainedImd >= WALL_THRESHOLD, _rebalance returns (0, false) at line 877 (if (amount == 0 || drained) return (work, acted);), so rebalance() reverts RebalanceNotNeeded, but pendingRebalance() keeps returning true because it never reads the drained condition.

     A keeper that polls the view (the documented keeper-bot pattern) sends a reverting transaction on every poll until a buy restores spot. No funds are affected; the reserve stays in the hook as retainedImd.

     Fix: have pendingRebalance() return false when the drained condition holds and neither claims nor a filled wall are due (or expose the drained flag).

     Reproduced with test/scratch/Round8A3Judge.t.sol test_pendingRebalanceTrueWhileRebalanceRevertsWhenDrained: alice buys 100 IMD; the Cabal dies; alice receives 50M PLEA from the distributor and sells it exact-input through the plain router with a limit 2,000 ticks beyond the market band on the IMD side (pool liquidity 0 afterwards); fundWall(1e18).

     A first rebalance() redeems the 0.25 IMD of pool-share claims (acts) and deploys no wall.

     Now retainClaims == 0, pleaClaims == 0, wall liquidity 0, retainedImd >= 1 IMD.

     Expected: pendingRebalance() == false or rebalance() does work.

     Actual: pendingRebalance() == true and rebalance() reverts RebalanceNotNeeded.

     PASS.

   • infoAfter the death a router can flash-take the PoolManager's PLEA and turn its own swap's 0.25% burn (and any trim) into deferred PLEA claims; harmless, burned at the next rebalancesrc/PleaHook.sol:640

     Check of the R7-A3-1 fix for new paths. _burnPlea decides between take-and-burn and minting ERC-6909 PLEA claims from the PoolManager's live ERC-20 PLEA balance, unlike the IMD side (R3-A3-1), which keys on the pool's own IMD before the swap.

     Once the Cabal is dead PLEA transfers are free, so a router may, inside its own unlock, take the PoolManager's whole PLEA balance, swap, and settle the PLEA back; during that swap every _burnPlea call (the 0.25% fee, a trim, a wall settle inside rebalance is not reachable this way) mints pleaClaims instead of burning.

     The claims are fully backed, anyone burns them with rebalance() (pendingRebalance turns true), supply + totalBurned is conserved and nobody loses value; the effects are a lag in totalBurned and an unpaid rebalance() call. While the Cabal lives the path is closed: the router cannot settle PLEA back into the PoolManager (PLEA._update refuses to == poolManager unless from is the gate or the hook).

     Not a defect of consequence; a cheap hardening is to key the check on the PLEA this pool owns (market + wall PLEA at priceBefore) like the IMD side, or to note it under THREAT-MODEL section 3.

     whole finding

     Reproduced with test/scratch/Round8A3Judge.t.sol test_flashTakenPleaTurnsTheBurnFeeIntoClaims (FlashTakePleaRouter in the same file): Cabal dead; the router's unlockCallback does pm.take(plea, router, plea.balanceOf(pm)), then an exact-input buy of 100 IMD with hookData = abi.encode(bob), settles the IMD and settles the PLEA it took back minus bob's output.

     Expected (the IMD-side rule): the swap reverts at the hook's take.

     Actual: the buy fills, hook.pleaClaims() equals the buy's 0.25% PLEA fee (got * 25 / 9975 within 1e-6), totalBurned is unchanged, and rebalance() then burns exactly that amount with supply + totalBurned conserved; the same buy through the plain router burns inside the swap.
