    The review is complete. The findings file holds three advisory items and nothing that blocks hosting.

    Verdict: safe to host. No critical or high findings.

    What was read

    • index.html: single page, strict meta CSP (default-src 'none', scripts and styles self-only, connect-src limited to the Squeekchain status API and the PublicNode Sepolia RPC), no inline scripts, no iframes, no external links in markup.
    • decor.js: pure canvas background animation. No network, storage, or DOM access beyond its own canvas.
    • app.css: local fonts only. All five .woff2 files have valid WOFF2 magic bytes.
    • game.js: a minified viem 2.x bundle plus about 15 KB of app code. I pretty-printed and read the whole app section. The only wallet calls are eth_requestAccounts, wallet_switchEthereumChain/wallet_addEthereumChain to Sepolia, an eth_chainId re-check that aborts if not Sepolia, then simulateContract and writeContract of submitScore(...) with value: 0n to the leaderboard address. The receipt is checked to target that same address. The personal_sign, signTypedData, approve and transfer strings in the file are unused viem library code. No eval, dynamic import, remote script load, hidden iframe, redirect, miner, or tracking. localStorage holds only best score, local board and nickname.
    • Leaderboard contract 0xa66c…df06: Sourcify exact match. submitScore is nonpayable and only writes storage. The contract has no payable, receive, call, or transfer paths.
    • README, LICENSE, THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES, LEGAL.txt: claims about what players sign match the code.

    Findings written to .imd-findings.json

    • Low: the site leans on the third-party Squeekchain brand ("powered by", "Squeektoshi") with no affiliation statement. Not impersonation, since the title, art and name are the game's own.
    • Low: the SqueekCore address in the README has no verified source on Sourcify. The page never calls it; the leaderboard reads it via a bounded staticcall.
    • Info: the Squeekchain status API answered a direct request with a Cloudflare challenge (403). The code degrades gracefully to "API offline". Browser behaviour from the final origin was not verified.

    No repository files were changed. Scratch work lives in /tmp/wm-review.

    • lowThird-party project name (Squeekchain / Squeektoshi) used throughout without an affiliation statementREADME.md:3

      Squeekchain is an existing third-party project (squeekchain.com, token listed on aggregators, Sepolia console). The site, README and in-game strings (game.js line 44: 'Squeektoshi is running', 'Powered by the real hamster', 'Squeekchain block #{n}') present the game as 'powered by Squeekchain' and consume its public status API and SqueekCore contract.

      The site does not use Squeekchain's name as its own title, logo or look (the title canvas draws 'WHEEL MERGE', no Squeekchain artwork is bundled, the only brand is the game's own), so this is not impersonation. However nothing on the page or in the README says whether the game is made by, endorsed by, or independent of the Squeekchain team.

      Advisory: add a one-line affiliation / 'unofficial fan game' statement so a visitor arriving under the hosting ENS name is not left to assume an endorsement.

      Open README.md line 3 and lines 9-15; open index.html in a browser and read the header status text rendered by game.js ('Squeektoshi is running' / 'Squeektoshi is asleep').

      Expected: a statement of the relationship to Squeekchain.

      Actual: none anywhere in index.html, README.md or the i18n table in game.js.

    • lowReferenced SqueekCore contract has no verified source on SourcifyREADME.md:44

      The Wheel Merge Leaderboard (0xa66c68ed...) is verified on Sourcify with an exact creation and runtime match and its submitScore() is nonpayable, sends no value and only writes leaderboard storage. The SqueekCore address it reads the block height from (third-party contract) returns match=null from the Sourcify API, i.e. no verified source there.

      The leaderboard calls it only through a bounded 30,000-gas staticcall (WheelMergeLeaderboard.sol lines 200-212) and the web page never calls it directly, so there is no risk to the visitor; the README simply links it as a plain Etherscan address while the leaderboard row carries a 'verified source' link. Advisory only.

      GET https://sourcify.dev/server/v2/contract/11155111/0x980b4424c007caf7a1f3670b48c8eaef7ebc3d44 returns {"match":null,"creationMatch":null,"runtimeMatch":null}. Compare GET .../0xa66c68edd8df3090557ab677444f8f0e1fa0df06?fields=all which returns match=exact_match, compilation.name=WheelMergeLeaderboard.

    • infoLive-mode status API sits behind a Cloudflare challenge; non-browser fetch returns 403, so Live mode may fall back to 'API offline' on some originsgame.js:44

      game.js polls api.squeekchain.com/v1/status every 10 s (Sh() in the app section of line 44) to drive Live mode and award joker tiles. A direct HTTPS request to that URL from this review machine returned HTTP 403 with 'cf-mitigated: challenge' (a Cloudflare 'Just a moment...' interstitial). A cross-origin fetch() from an IPFS gateway origin cannot pass an interactive challenge and would also need CORS headers from the API, which could not be observed here.

      The code handles the failure safely: the catch sets Te.fresh=false, the header shows 'Squeektoshi is asleep · API offline' and the wheel can be turned manually, so no error or unsafe state results. Reported so the author can confirm the API allows the final hosting origin; the behaviour from a real browser was not verified.

      curl -s -i https://api.squeekchain.com/v1/status -> 'HTTP/2 403', header 'cf-mitigated: challenge', body 'Just a moment...'.

      Expected: JSON with measurement.{freshness,coreStatus,rpmMilli} and builder.anchor.{blockHeight,blockProgress} as parsed by Sh().

      Actual: Cloudflare challenge page.
