• 1.lowMAX_CHECKPOINT_RISE_BPS bounds one refresh, not the sum: repeated sandwiched dust buys lift the floor above market and stall the IMD leg for dayssrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:359

          uint256 ceilNow = FullMath.mulDiv(floorNow, BPS + MAX_CHECKPOINT_RISE_BPS, BPS);

  Commit e28a1f9 clamps each post-buy refresh to floorNow * 1.02 (sqrt-price), but floorNow is the previous checkpoint decayed by only 7d/(7d+600s) = 0.099% per cooldown and the refresh resets checkpointAt, so successive buys compound: after N cooldowns the checkpoint can sit at market * (1.02 * 0.999)^N.

  The ceiling is independent of ethIn, so a buy of ~1 gwei (receive() is open; 3 gwei sent to the treasury puts ~1.2 gwei in the IMD leg, above MIN_ETH_PER_BUY) moves it by the full step. Anyone who is the keeper each cooldown can therefore sell IMD until the sqrt-price clears the next ceiling, call process() so the dust buy fills there, and buy back, inside one transaction.

  After 12 rounds (2 h) the checkpoint is 1.2557x market and 144 consecutive process() calls over the next 24 h all fail with InsufficientOutput; after 20 rounds (3.3 h) it is 1.4596x market and the leg is stalled for 264,600 s (3.06 days). README.md:35 and launch.json say a dust buy 'cannot pin the floor above spot for longer than that decay takes to close a 2% gap (under an hour)' / 'cannot pin it above spot for days'; both hold only for a single buy.

  Cost is round-trip pool fees and impact only: 17.17 ETH-equivalent for 20 rounds at the 200 ETH test depth (about 2.8x that at the mainnet pool's ~564-692 ETH virtual depth). No funds are lost: pending IMD ETH waits, the retry cap halves, and the other legs continue, so this is a paid grief of the 40% leg, not extraction. It also answers the brief: 200 bps is not what leaves the cheaper path, any per-buy step larger than the ~10 bps per-cooldown decay is ratchetable.

  Merged from audit_flow, audit_economics and audit_math (three equivalent reports). Minimal fix inside the design: scale the permitted rise with the buy, riseBps = MAX_CHECKPOINT_RISE_BPS * ethIn / maxEthPerBuy (a pin then requires full-size buys at the pushed price, each handing the treasury IMD at a discount), and/or bound the rise by elapsed time since the last upward refresh; correct the README/launch.json wording either way.

  whole finding

  Fixture of test/unit/CheckpointRefresh.t.sol (200 ETH full-range ETH/IMD pool, script constants).

  (1) fund 1 ETH, process(): checkpoint = market.

  (2) Repeat 12 times: warp +600 s; sell IMD (oneForZero) with sqrtPriceLimit = floorNow * 1.03; send 3 gwei to the treasury; process() (pending becomes 0, CheckpointRefreshed to floorNow * 1.02); buy IMD back to market.

  (3) warp +600 s, fund 0.01 ETH, process(), repeat 144 times.

  Expected per README: IMD bought within the hour.

  Actual (test/scratch run of the attached proof): checkpoint/market = 12557 bps, 144 failed calls, 0 IMD bought in 24 h.

  With 20 rounds (test/scratch/Residual.t.sol::test_cumulativePinCost): checkpoint/market = 14596 bps, 264,600 s stalled, round-trip cost 17,166,091,265,848,883,922 wei.

• 2.lowRefresh clamps the treasury's own price impact out of the checkpoint: without counter-flow the IMD leg stalls after four max-size buys (regression vs 8f2430e)src/ImdoTreasury.sol:362

          if (next < floorNow) next = floorNow;

  Before e28a1f9 the refresh copied the post-swap spot, so the sqrt-price drop caused by the treasury's own buy was absorbed into the next floor. Now next = max(post, floorNow), so each 1 ETH buy's own impact (0.39% of sqrt-price at the 200 ETH test depth, ~0.14-0.18% at the mainnet pool's depth) must be covered by the decay (0.099% per 600 s) plus the 300 bps slippage slack (~1.5% of sqrt-price).

  When the ETH/IMD pool is the market and nobody arbitrages the price back between cooldowns, floor/spot grows ~0.3% per round and the fifth buy fails InsufficientOutput; the cap halves, a half buy fills, and the leg degrades to roughly the decay rate. Over 24 rounds of maximum inflow (2.5126 ETH per cooldown) 11 of 24 IMD legs fail and 30.5 ETH sits pending; on the parent commit 8f2430e the identical test fills all 24 (14.5 ETH pending, the per-buy cap alone).

  The same mechanism follows any honest downward sqrt-price drift (IMD rallying) faster than ~10 bps per cooldown, although every single step is far inside the 3% slippage band: the leg then follows the market only at the decay rate.

  This answers the brief's question: no honest move stalls the leg longer than the 7-day decay implies, but the treasury's own demand is now charged against that decay budget, which the comment at line 355 ('Genuine moves still pass through') does not say. Delay only; no ETH is lost. Merged from audit_flow, audit_economics and audit_permissions.

  Fix options that keep the sandwich bound: allow the refresh to absorb the buy's own measured impact, next = max(post, floorNow * post / pre) only when the pre-swap spot pre >= floorNow (an unsandwiched buy; a front-run that lowers pre below floorNow gets no allowance), or shorten CHECKPOINT_DECAY; otherwise document the ~0.1%/cooldown tracking limit in README 'Operational risks'.

  whole finding

  Fixture of test/unit/CheckpointRefresh.t.sol.

  Loop 24 times: warp +600 s; send 2.5126 ETH to the treasury; process(); do nothing else to the pool.

  Expected (design: 1 ETH buy every cooldown while pending >= 1 ETH): 24 LegBought.

  Actual on this tree: floor/spot after rounds 1-4 = 10039, 10078, 10118, 10157 bps; round 5 emits LegFailed(InsufficientOutput) and retryCap = 0.5 ETH; 11 of 24 rounds fail; pending = 30.5 ETH.

  Same test on a worktree of 8f2430e: 0 of 24 fail.

  Attached proof test/scratch/OwnImpact.t.sol fails here with '11 != 0'.

• 3.lowFloor-clamped refresh resets the decay anchor, so under repeated sandwiched buys the floor decays geometrically, below the documented 7-day hyperbolasrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:365

          l.checkpointAt = uint64(block.timestamp);

  When the post-swap price is under the floor, _refreshCheckpoint writes checkpointSqrtPriceX96 = floorNow and unconditionally checkpointAt = block.timestamp. The current floor is unchanged, but its future slope steepens from -floorNow/(7d+age) to -floorNow/7d: after N sandwiched buys spaced dt apart the enforced floor is cp0 * (7d/(7d+dt))^N instead of the cp0 * 7d/(7d+N*dt) that README.md and the function comment ('downward via the 7-day decay') describe.

  For dt = 600 s: N = 20 gives 0.9803 vs 0.9806 (why CheckpointRefresh.t.sol cannot see it), N = 432 (3 days) 0.651 vs 0.700, N = 1008 (7 days) 0.368 vs 0.500 of cp0 in sqrt-price, i.e. the bound on how far a persistent sandwicher can push the treasury's accepted price widens faster than stated (7.4x fewer IMD per ETH at a week versus the documented 4x). Stakers receive the shortfall; it is bounded by pool depth and round-trip fees as described in the sandwich finding below.

  From audit_math; reproduced with the attached proof.

  Fix: when the clamp lands on floorNow (no genuine upward move) leave checkpointSqrtPriceX96 and checkpointAt untouched so the floor continues from the original anchor; only advance the anchor when next > floorNow. The judge's two CheckpointRefresh tests remain valid under that change.

  whole finding

  Fixture of test/unit/CheckpointRefresh.t.sol.

  One honest 1 ETH process() anchors cp0 at t0.

  Then 432 rounds: warp +600 s, fund 1 ETH, buy IMD until spot = 0.991 * floorNow, process() (fills), sell back to market.

  Expected: enforced floor >= cp0 * 7d / (7d + 259200 s) = 0.6999 cp0.

  whole proof

• 4.lowAnti-snipe fee clock starts at any first swap, including a 1 wei buy that pays no fee, so the 20% launch fee can be bypassed before the announced launchsrc/ImdoHook.sol:174

          if (launchTimestamp == 0) {

  beforeSwap records launchTimestamp on the first swap regardless of size. A 1 wei exact-input buy computes fee = 1 * 2000 / 10000 = 0, takes nothing, and starts the 30-minute linear decay (the project's own test helper LocalV4.warpPastDecay relies on exactly this). script/DeployImdo.s.sol initializes and seeds the ETH/IMDO pool at deployment, at least MIN_LAUNCH_LEAD (1 hour) before the claim launch, and nothing gates swaps before launch.

  A bot watching the deployer can therefore start the clock in the pool-creation block and 30 minutes later buy at the 150 bps steady fee, before the claim window the project announces opens, so the 20% launch fee never applies to the trades it was meant to tax. Nothing is lost by the contracts; the treasury forgoes the anti-snipe premium and the documented schedule ('20.00% at the first filled swap' in the contract header) does not describe what happens.

  From audit_flow; reproduced with the attached proof on a fresh pool. Minimal fix that keeps the schedule: anchor the decay to an immutable launch timestamp passed to the hook (the same launch the claim uses), with swaps before it paying LAUNCH_FEE_BPS flat; or require the clock-starting swap to carry at least a minimum ETH amount.

  whole finding

  Fresh PoolManager, ImdoHook mined with flags 0x20cc, ETH/IMDO pool at tick 177240 seeded with 890M IMDO single-sided (the script's layout), launchTimestamp == 0, currentFeeBps() == 2000.

  Swap zeroForOne exact input 1 wei: fees taken (treasury balance + deferred ERC-6909 claims) unchanged at 0, launchTimestamp == block.timestamp.

  Warp +30 minutes: currentFeeBps() == 150.

  Buy with 10 ETH.

  Expected under the documented schedule: 2 ETH fee.

  Actual: 0.15 ETH (150000000000000000 wei).

  Attached proof test/scratch/HookClockProof.t.sol fails with '150000000000000000 != 2000000000000000000'.

• 6.infoPersistent sandwiching still holds the floor below market after an honest IMD drop: the refresh never rises while every buy is front-run to the floor (inherited; improved vs parent; fee-bounded at maisrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:285

          if (sqrtPriceX96 < checkpointFloor) sqrtPriceX96 = uint160(checkpointFloor);

  After a move that leaves spot above the floor (an honest IMD sale, or the floor's own decay during a pause), the checkpoint only rises when a buy's post-swap price exceeds floorNow. A front-runner who buys IMD down to just under the floor before each process() makes the treasury quote at the floor and leaves post < floorNow, so the refresh writes floorNow every time and the gap never closes (it widens 0.1% per cooldown).

  The treasury then pays the whole honest gap plus the 300 bps band on every sandwiched buy, for as long as the sandwicher is willing to be the keeper.

  This is not a regression: the parent additionally ratcheted the floor down (same test on 8f2430e: checkpoint 75.5% of market and 3187 bps average shortfall, versus 89.8% and 2041 bps here), and it is bounded by pool depth: moving the sqrt-price by a gap g costs ~2 * 1.1% * g * depth in round-trip fees against ~2 * g * ethIn of extraction, so with maxEthPerBuy = 1 ETH it is unprofitable while in-range virtual ETH depth exceeds ~90-110 ETH (564-692 ETH on the mainnet pool at blocks 26,137,698-26,137,750 per the specialists' reads), unless the attacker owns most of the in-range liquidity.

  Merged from audit_flow, audit_economics and audit_permissions. Keep maxEthPerBuy small relative to pool depth, state the depth assumption in README next to the existing manipulation caveat, and monitor CheckpointRefreshed for repeated post < checkpoint rounds. A design-level option is to let the rise bound scale with cooldowns elapsed since the last upward refresh, so honest gaps close faster when buys are infrequent.

  whole finding

  test/scratch/Residual.t.sol::test_sandwichedBuysNeverLiftStaleFloor (passes; demonstrates the behaviour).

  Fixture of CheckpointRefresh.t.sol: honest 1 ETH buy (cp0); third party sells IMD until sqrt-price = 1.10 cp0 (market).

  12 rounds: warp +600 s, fund 2.5126 ETH, buy IMD with limit floor * 0.99, process() (fills), sell back to market.

  Expected by the commit comment ('upward in bounded steps per buy'): checkpoint rises up to 2% per filled buy toward market.

  Actual: checkpoint/cp0 = 9881 bps, checkpoint/market = 8983 bps, average IMD shortfall vs the market quote 2041 bps per buy.

  On 8f2430e: 8300 / 7546 / 3187 bps.

• 7.infoCheckpoint seed at construction (and at first process()) is an unclamped spot read: a sandwiched treasury creation pins the floor above market for 7d x (push - 1)src/ImdoTreasury.sol:151

              (_imdLeg.checkpointSqrtPriceX96,,,) = poolManager.getSlot0(_imdLeg.key.toId());

  _refreshCheckpoint bounds every later move, but the initial reference copies slot0 with no bound, both in the constructor (line 151) and in _ensurePool (line 384) when the pool did not exist at construction.

  DeployImdo creates the treasury as the fourth broadcast transaction with calldata visible in the public mempool; a seller who pushes the sqrt-price up by a factor g around that block and buys back leaves checkpointSqrtPriceX96 = g x market, so every IMD buy fails until the decay closes the gap: about 7 d x (g - 1): 3.4 h for g = 1.02, 1.4 d for 1.2, 3.5 d for 1.5.

  Pure griefing (ETH stays pending; cost is round-trip fees on (g - 1) x the pool's reserve, ~2.5 ETH for g = 1.2 at mainnet depth). Merged from audit_math and audit_permissions.

  Mitigation: deploy through a private relay, or give the constructor an operator-reviewed expected sqrt-price and revert (or clamp to +/-2%) when slot0 is outside it, or seed with checkpointAt pre-aged so the first days enforce spot only. A lazy seed at first process() does not help because that call is equally sandwichable.

  No proof attached: a fix needs a constructor argument the current signature lacks.

  whole finding

  test/scratch/Residual.t.sol::test_constructionSeedIsUnclampedSpot (fails on this tree with '183 >= 6').

  Fixture of CheckpointRefresh.t.sol: sell IMD with sqrtPriceLimit = spot x 1.2; construct ImdoTreasury with the script's arguments; buy IMD back to the original spot; leg(0).checkpointSqrtPriceX96 / market = 11999 bps.

  Then fund 0.01 ETH and process() every 600 s.

  Expected: a fresh treasury buys at market within an hour.

  Actual: 183 consecutive failed calls (30 h) before the first LegBought.

• 8.infoMIN_LAUNCH_LEAD is checked only at simulation time: a claim creation mined after `launch` still burns the predicted address; the Permit2 expiry and LP-mint deadline share the same one-hour horizon; noscript/DeployImdo.s.sol:153

                  || c.seatNFT.code.length == 0 || c.launch < block.timestamp + MIN_LAUNCH_LEAD

  The lead removes the hazard the parent judge named (a launch at or just after simulation time) and test_scriptRequiresLaunchLeadBeforeAnyCreation proves the boundary. It is a minimum, not a guarantee: preflight runs on the simulation block while token, staking and claim are three separate broadcast transactions.

  If the claim creation is mined at or after launch (hardware-wallet signing of ~14 transactions, under-priced gas, an RPC stall, an operator pausing between dry run and --broadcast, or --resume after a gap, which does not re-run preflight), ImdoClaim's constructor reverts on launch_ < block.timestamp (src/ImdoClaim.sol:56), the nonce is consumed, and ImdoStaking.claimContract points at an address that can never receive code, so token and staking must be redeployed (docs/DEPLOYMENT.md says so).

  Lines 129 and 137 give the Permit2 allowance and modifyLiquidities a deadline of simulation block.timestamp + 1 hours, so a stall of an hour also breaks the sequence at transactions 8/9, recoverably. There is also no upper bound on launch: a value years ahead passes preflight and locks the 110M claim funding until then. Answer to the brief: the lead is sufficient for an uninterrupted broadcast and the residual is operational.

  Merged from all four specialists.

  Options: raise MIN_LAUNCH_LEAD together with the two deadlines (or derive both from c.launch), add a sanity upper bound, and state in DEPLOYMENT.md: re-simulate immediately before broadcasting and never --resume across a gap. Structural alternatives are design changes for the requester: drop the constructor's launch_ < block.timestamp check (preflight already enforces the lead) or create staking and claim from one factory in a single transaction.

              new ImdoHook{salt: salt}(IPoolManager(c.poolManager), address(d.token), address(d.treasury), c.deployer);

  Under broadcast this creation is a call to 0x4e59b44847b379578588920cA78FbF26c0B4956C with salt ++ initcode, visible in the mempool; the factory binds no sender, so anyone can send the same calldata first.

  The replayed hook is byte-identical (owner = c.deployer, same treasury and token), so no authority is lost, but the operator's transaction 5 then reverts (the factory reverts when CREATE2 returns zero on a collision, consuming the forwarded gas) and Foundry stops the sequence with token, staking, claim and treasury already live.

  A fresh forge script run starts over with new nonces and a new treasury address, abandoning the first four contracts; HookMiner.find (script/utils/HookMiner.sol:39) only returns salts whose address has no code, so a re-simulation silently mines the next salt and never shows the on-chain revert. Gas-only impact before any public trading. From audit_permissions; reproduced.

  Mitigation: send the sequence through a private relay/bundle, or use a sender-bound CREATE2 factory (salt prefixed with the deployer address) so a replay from another account lands elsewhere; at minimum document the recovery (the pre-landed hook is usable as-is if the operator continues the sequence manually with it).

  A griefer calls the factory with salt ++ creationCode ++ args first: expectedHook has code, owner() == deployer, treasury() == the intended treasury.

  A subsequent script.run(c) deploys a hook at a different address (HookMiner skipped the occupied one) while the operator's original calldata replayed from the deployer with 3M gas fails (CREATE2 collision).

   Commit 1, the checkpoint clamp. The clamp is sound on the low side: a refresh can never land below the floor the same call enforced, and the judge's sandwich ratchet no longer reproduces. The findings are about what the clamp costs and what it leaves open:

   • Low. The refresh can never lower the checkpoint. Only the 7-day decay moves it down, about 0.1% of sqrt-price per cooldown. A gradual IMD rally of 0.5% per cooldown stalls the leg from round 4, and the treasury's own impact without arbitrage stalls it from round 5 in the 200 ETH test pool. The parent commit filled all 12 rounds in both scenarios, so this is a regression the fix introduced. The stall is exactly what the decay implies, not longer, and no ETH is lost. A tuning of CHECKPOINT_DECAY is the fix that stays inside the design.
   • Low. The 200 bps ceiling bounds each step, not the sum. Twenty sandwiched dust buys, one per cooldown and funded by 3 gwei sent to the treasury, lift the floor to 1.46× market. The leg then stalls for 3.07 days. Cost is fees only, about 48 ETH at the mainnet pool's current 564 ETH virtual depth. That is roughly 9× more expensive than the judge's single pushed dust buy and still cheaper per stalled day than blocking every attempt.
   • Info. A persistent sandwicher can pin the floor below market because post-swap price never exceeds the floor while every buy is pushed to it. This is inherited, not new, and unprofitable above about 90 ETH of in-range depth because of the 1.1% round-trip fee.

   Commit 2, the launch lead. One hour is sufficient and consistent: the Permit2 expiry and position deadline already force the broadcast to finish within one hour of simulation. The one gap is that preflight has no upper bound on launch. A value 100 years ahead deploys and locks the claim funding, which I confirmed with a scratch test. Recorded as informational.

   Other findings. The hook's anti-snipe clock starts on any first swap, and a 1 wei buy pays zero fee. A bot can start the clock at pool creation and buy 10 ETH at 1.5% thirty minutes later instead of 20%. The commit's new test file also fails the formatter gate the README requires.

   Judge findings 4-7. The judge's report is not in the tree, so I could not confirm them as described. Finding 3 (stakeFor lock reset disclosure) is applied as documentation in README and launch.json. The seat NFT on mainnet has IDs 0 through 1999, matching SEAT_SIZE.

   Scratch tests live under test/scratch/ and are git-ignored. The temporary worktree used for the parent-commit comparison has been removed and the working tree is clean.

   • lowBounded refresh can never lower the checkpoint: sustained honest rallies and the treasury's own impact now stall the IMD leg (regression vs parent commit)src/ImdoTreasury.sol:362

     _refreshCheckpoint clamps the post-swap price to the floor the call just enforced, so a successful buy can never move the checkpoint below cp * 7d/(7d+age). The only downward path left is the 7-day decay, about 0.099% of sqrt-price per 600 s cooldown (14% per day, 26% in price). Every honest downward sqrt-price drift faster than that accumulates against the 300 bps slippage buffer until min-out fails, after which the leg halves its cap and retries while pending ETH queues.

     Two honest drivers produce this: (1) an IMD rally (sqrt-price falling) of more than ~0.1% per cooldown, even though every single step is far inside the 3% slippage, and (2) the treasury's own price impact when nothing arbitrages the pool back (a 1 ETH buy moves the mainnet IMD pool, ~564 ETH virtual depth at block 26,137,698, by 0.175%, above the per-cooldown decay).

     The parent commit 8f2430e set the checkpoint to the post-swap price and tracked both; the same scratch test fills all 12 rounds there and stalls from round 4 (rally) / round 5 (own impact, 200 ETH test pool) on this tree. This does not lose funds (pending ETH waits and buys resume at the decay rate), and it does not stall longer than the 7-day decay implies, but it narrows the honest moves the leg can follow from ~1.5% per cooldown to ~0.1% per cooldown.

     Fixing it within the design means choosing a shorter CHECKPOINT_DECAY (or a regenSafe-settable decay within bounds) rather than reopening the post-swap refresh, since any refresh that follows pool state downward is what the sandwich ratchet exploited; document the ~14%/day sqrt tracking limit in README.

   • lowMAX_CHECKPOINT_RISE_BPS bounds one step, not the sum: 20 sandwiched dust buys lift the floor 46% above market and stall the IMD leg for 3 dayssrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:359

     The ceiling is floor * 1.02 per successful buy and the floor resets its age on every refresh, so repeated buys compound: after N cooldowns the checkpoint is market * (1.02 * 0.999)^N. Anyone can trigger a buy each cooldown by sending ~3 gwei to the treasury (receive() is open, 40% lands in the IMD leg, above MIN_ETH_PER_BUY) and calling process() inside a sandwich that holds the pool 3% above the floor.

     After 20 rounds (3.3 hours) the checkpoint sits 1.46x market; once the attacker lets the pool return, every buy fails until the 7-day decay brings the floor back inside slippage, 3.07 days in the scratch run.

     Cost is fees only: 17.2 ETH at the 200 ETH test depth, roughly 48 ETH at the mainnet pool's 564 ETH virtual depth (1% LP + 0.1% protocol fee on the round trip), which is cheaper per stalled day (~16 ETH/day) than the always-available push-down DoS that must block every attempt (~27 ETH/day at that depth, 144 bundles/day), and roughly 9x more expensive than the single pushed dust buy the judge reported against the parent.

     No funds are lost; the IMD leg's pending ETH and staker rewards are delayed while the other legs continue.

     A cheap hardening that keeps the design: scale the permitted rise by ethIn / maxEthPerBuy so a dust buy moves the checkpoint proportionally little, forcing the attacker to let the treasury buy the full 1 ETH at the pushed price each round (adds ~2*D ETH of loss per round, ~9 ETH over 20 rounds); or additionally cap the cumulative rise over a window (e.g. not above the checkpoint of 24 h ago times 1.25).

   • lowAnti-snipe fee clock starts at any first swap, including a 1 wei buy that pays no fee, so a sniper trades at 1.5% thirty minutes after pool creationsrc/ImdoHook.sol:174

     beforeSwap records launchTimestamp on the first swap regardless of size; a 1 wei exact-input buy computes fee = 1 * 2000 / 10000 = 0, takes nothing, and starts the 30-minute decay (the project's own LocalV4.warpPastDecay helper relies on exactly this). The deploy script initializes and seeds the pool at deployment, at least MIN_LAUNCH_LEAD (1 hour) before the claim launch the project announces.

     A bot watching the deployer can therefore start the clock in the pool-creation block and buy at the 150 bps steady fee before the announced launch, so the 20% launch fee never applies to the trades it was meant to tax. No funds are at risk and nothing is lost by the contracts; the treasury simply does not receive the anti-snipe premium.

     Minimal fix that keeps the schedule: anchor the decay to an immutable launch timestamp passed to the hook (the same launch the claim uses), with swaps before it paying LAUNCH_FEE_BPS flat; alternatively require the clock-starting swap to be at least a minimum ETH size.

   • infoFloor can still be pinned below market by a persistent sandwicher: refresh never rises while every buy is pushed to the floor (inherited; fee-bounded at mainnet depth)src/ImdoTreasury.sol:285

     After any move that leaves spot above the floor (an honest IMD dump, or the floor's own decay during a pause in buys), the floor closes only when a buy's post-swap price exceeds it. A front-runner who buys IMD down to the floor before each process() makes the treasury quote at the floor and leaves post ~= floor, so the refresh sets cp = floor and the gap never closes; it widens 0.1% per cooldown.

     In the scratch run the treasury receives ~31% less IMD than the market quote on 12 consecutive 1 ETH buys. This is not a regression: the parent ratcheted the floor down as well (shortfall growing to 39% in 12 rounds there).

     It is bounded by pool depth and the 1.1% round-trip fee: moving sqrt-price by a gap g costs ~0.022 * g * depth in fees against ~2 * g * ethIn of extraction, so with ethIn capped at 1 ETH it is unprofitable while in-range virtual ETH depth exceeds ~90 ETH (564 ETH on mainnet at block 26,137,698; the attacker lost 35 ETH over 12 rounds at the 200 ETH test depth) unless the attacker owns >90% of in-range liquidity.

   • infoMIN_LAUNCH_LEAD (1 hour) is aligned with the script's other one-hour windows; a slower broadcast fails at the Permit2 expiry and position deadline as wellscript/DeployImdo.s.sol:153

     The lead is checked against the simulation timestamp; the claim is the third broadcast transaction. The same script already requires the whole sequence to finish within one hour of simulation: the Permit2 allowance expires at block.timestamp + 1 hours (line 129) and modifyLiquidities carries the same deadline (line 137).

     A broadcast that takes longer therefore fails either at transaction 3 (claim constructor reverts, nonce consumed, predicted address burned, token and staking must be redeployed) or at transaction 8 (liquidity mint reverts, recoverable by hand). Both outcomes cost gas only, before any public trading. A deployer transaction inserted between staking and claim produces the same burned-address outcome regardless of the lead; DEPLOYMENT.md documents it.

     No change is required for mainnet; if the operator wants more slack, raise MIN_LAUNCH_LEAD together with the two deadlines rather than alone. There is no upper bound on launch: a value years ahead passes preflight and locks the 110M claim funding until then, so the operator checklist should include a sanity bound.

   forge fmt --check	exit 1, diff in the new test file

   Commit 1, the bounded checkpoint refresh. The downward clamp is sound: the floor can no longer be ratcheted below what the decay allows, and resetting the age on each buy makes the decay exponential rather than hyperbolic, so no honest move stalls the leg longer than the 7-day decay implies. The upward side is weaker than the documentation claims.

   • Cumulative upward pin, low. The 200 bps ceiling bounds one refresh but compounds across buys. A keeper who sandwiches one 1 gwei buy per cooldown lifts the floor about 1.9% per round. Six rounds in one hour stall the IMD leg for 17.5 hours, twelve rounds for 40 hours, twenty-four for nearly four days. The README and launch notes say "under an hour" and "not for days". It is a paid grief, not an extraction, costing roughly 4.7 ETH for the one-hour version at the live pool's depth. The attached proof test fails on this code. A time-based rise budget fixes it.
   • No upward catch-up while sandwiched, low. The checkpoint only rises when the post-swap price is above the floor. A sandwicher who pushes under the floor on every buy keeps it from ever rising, so after an honest IMD drop the treasury pays the full gap per buy rather than the 300 bps band. Measured 31% to 51% shortfall per buy over 80 rounds with no recovery. At the live pool this costs the attacker about five times what the treasury loses, so it is unprofitable today. This was equally true before the fix.
   • Self-throttling, info. The clamp discards the treasury's own price impact. At live depth a 1 ETH buy moves sqrt-price about 18 bps while the floor relaxes about 10 bps per cooldown. With maximum inflow and no sellers at all, 31 of 144 daily buys fail. With any arbitrage restoring the price, none fail.

   Commit 2, the launch lead. One hour is adequate for an uninterrupted broadcast, and the test proves preflight rejects anything shorter before any creation. The hazard keeps its shape because the lead is checked at simulation time only. I reproduced the burn by emulating separate transactions: a claim creation mined past launch reverts, consumes the nonce, and the staking's claim address can never receive code. Recorded as info with two structural alternatives for the requester to weigh.

   Live pool data read from mainnet at block 26,137,714: liquidity 9.516e21, tick 56515, LP fee 1% plus a 0.1% protocol fee each way, about 564 ETH of virtual reserve. The 1.1% round-trip fee is what keeps every sandwich variant unprofitable at current depth. The baseline band sandwich turns profitable only below roughly 100 ETH of virtual reserve.

   Judge's findings 4 to 7. Their text is not in the tree, so I could not confirm them against their original wording. The items I checked that fit informational scope: the stakeFor lock-reset disclosure is applied in README and launch notes; the hook's anti-snipe clock still starts on the first filled swap by anyone; the treasury's throughput cap of about 2.51 ETH per cooldown still holds; the formatting regression and the stale verification table in docs/REVIEW.md are new since the parent job and are recorded as a low finding.

   Scratch tests live only under test/scratch, which is gitignored. Nothing else was created or modified.

   • lowCheckpoint rise clamp is per buy, not per time: one sandwiched dust buy per cooldown still pins the floor above spot for hours to dayssrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:359

     Commit e28a1f9 bounds each refresh to floorNow * 1.02, but floorNow is the previous checkpoint decayed by only ~0.1% per 600 s, so the bound compounds: every successful buy may lift the checkpoint ~1.9% of sqrt-price above the last one, and nothing limits how many such buys happen.

     An attacker who is also the keeper repeats the judge's dust-buy pin once per cooldown inside one transaction (sell IMD until sqrt-price sits just above floorNow*1.02, call process() with ~3 gwei funded so the IMD leg buys 1 gwei there, buy back to market). Each round resets failures and re-anchors checkpointAt, so legitimate keepers' buys fail in between (spot < 0.985 * floor) while the attacker's own succeed.

     After N rounds the floor sits ~1.019^N above market and the IMD leg stays stalled until the 7-day decay closes the gap: measured 17.5 h after 6 rounds (1 h of attack), 39.8 h after 12, 92.5 h after 24.

     README.md:35 and the launch.json notes state the floor 'cannot pin ... above spot for longer than that decay takes to close a 2% gap (under an hour)' and 'cannot pin it above spot for days'; both hold only for a single dust buy (which itself measured 3600 s at 600 s granularity, not under an hour).

     Cost to the attacker is the 1% LP fee (plus the 0.1% protocol fee on mainnet) on the round-trip displacement, which grows with N: 1.67 / 6.1 / 23.6 ETH for 6 / 12 / 24 rounds at the 200 ETH fixture depth; about 2.8x that at the mainnet ETH/IMD pool's depth read at block 26,137,714 (liquidity 9.516e21, tick 56515, ~564 ETH virtual reserve, lpFee 10000, protocolFee 1000 each way).

     No funds are lost: pending IMD ETH accumulates and the retry cap halves per failed attempt, so this is a paid grief of the 40% IMD leg, not an extraction.

     Suggested fix: make the rise budget a function of elapsed time rather than of buy count, e.g. ceil = floorNow * (1 + MAX_CHECKPOINT_RISE_BPS * min(1, (block.timestamp - lastUpwardRefresh) / 1 hours) / BPS), or anchor the ceiling to the checkpoint value at the last refresh whose post-swap price was at or below the floor; and correct the README/launch.json wording.

     whole proof

   • lowFloor clamp prevents any upward catch-up while buys are sandwiched: after an honest IMD drop a persistent sandwicher takes the whole gap per buy, indefinitelysrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:362

     The refresh only moves the checkpoint up when the post-swap sqrt-price is above floorNow. A sandwicher who front-runs the treasury's buy pushes spot under the floor, so post < floorNow on every sandwiched buy and the checkpoint is set to floorNow every time: it never rises toward the market, no matter how far the market has honestly moved above it.

     Combined with the min-out rule max(spot, floor), the extractable amount per 1 ETH buy is not the 300 bps band but (market / (0.985 * floor))^2 - 1 for as long as the attacker keeps sandwiching every process() call (they can, by being the keeper at every cooldown expiry).

     Measured at mainnet-like depth after an honest 10% rise of sqrt-price (IMD price -17%): 80 consecutive sandwiched buys, floor never reached 0.985 * market, worst shortfall 3124 bps per buy versus buying at market, 20.45 ETH of IMD shortfall on 80 ETH bought; after a 30% rise: 5077 bps per buy, 37.4 ETH on 80 ETH.

     The pre-fix code had the same non-catch-up property plus the downward ratchet, so this is not a regression, but it is the cheapest remaining path to make the treasury buy far from market and it is unchanged by MAX_CHECKPOINT_RISE_BPS.

     Economics at the live pool (564 ETH virtual reserve, 1.1% total swap fee): the front-run must move sqrt-price from ~1.10 F to 0.9875 F, about 58 ETH of displacement, costing ~1.28 ETH in fees per round to make the treasury lose ~0.2-0.5 ETH, so today it is an unprofitable grief; it becomes profitable once the ETH-side virtual reserve falls below roughly 110 ETH, or if the 'honest' gap is large. Only unsandwiched buys repair the floor.

     Possible mitigations: let a failed or sandwiched process() record the spot it observed and allow the next refresh to rise toward that one-cooldown-old observation (forcing the attacker to hold the displacement across blocks and against arbitrage), or document that the floor is repaired only by unsandwiched buys and monitor CheckpointRefreshed for repeated post < checkpoint rounds.

     whole finding

     Same fixture as finding 1 at 564 ETH depth.

     1. fund 1 ETH, process().

     2. Honest move: sell IMD (oneForZero) with sqrtPriceLimit = spot * 1.10; call this 'market'.

     3. Repeat for 80 rounds: warp +600 s; read floor = cp7d/(7d+age); buy IMD (zeroForOne) with sqrtPriceLimit = floor0.9875; fund 2.5 ETH; process(); compare IMD received (LegBought.amountOut) with ethIn0.99market^2/Q96^2; sell IMD back to 'market'.

     Expected: the checkpoint rises (at most 2% per buy) so that within ~5 buys the floor is back within the 300 bps band of market and the shortfall drops to the band.

     Actual: floor/market never reaches 0.985, every round fills, worst shortfall 3124 bps (10% gap) / 5077 bps (30% gap), total 20.45 / 37.36 ETH of shortfall over 80 rounds.

     whole reproduction

   • infoRefresh discards the treasury's own price impact: with no counter-flow the IMD leg throttles itself to the decay ratesrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:362

     Before e28a1f9 the checkpoint was set to the post-swap price, which included the treasury's own impact; now that impact is clamped away. At the live pool's depth a 1 ETH buy moves sqrt-price by ~17.7 bps while the floor relaxes only ~9.9 bps per 600 s, so if nobody sells or arbitrages between buys the gap grows ~8 bps per round, consumes the 300 bps band after ~19 buys, and the leg then only buys as fast as the decay allows.

     Measured over one day of maximum inflow (2.5 ETH per 600 s) with no other trades: 31 of 144 IMD buys fail and 134.8 ETH sits pending (0 of 144 fail when an arbitrageur restores the price after each buy; 0 of 144 would fail on the pre-fix code). A steady honest rise of IMD of only 5 bps of sqrt per 600 s (~0.6%/h in price) adds 5 failures in 36 rounds; 30 bps per 600 s (~3.6%/h) fails 32 of 36.

     This answers the brief's question: no honest move stalls the leg longer than the 7-day decay implies (resetting the age on each buy makes the decay exponential, i.e. faster than hyperbolic), but gradual rises that the previous code rode within its band are now followed only at the decay rate, and the treasury's own demand counts against it. No funds are lost; throughput of the 40% leg falls and pending accumulates.

     Accept and document, or bound a per-buy downward allowance by the treasury's own measured impact (pre-swap spot minus post-swap spot, capped at a fraction of slippageBps) so that self-impact, which a sandwicher cannot inflate without also lowering the buy's output below min-out, is absorbed while front-run impact is not.

     whole finding

     Fixture as finding 1 at 564 ETH depth.

     Loop 144 times: warp +600 s; fund 2.5 ETH; process(); record whether LegBought was emitted; do nothing else to the pool.

     Expected (design: 1 ETH every 600 s while pending >= 1 ETH): 144 buys.

     Actual: 113 buys, 31 failures, spot/start = 8538 bps, floor/spot = 10153 bps, 134.83 ETH pending.

     Variant with 'sell IMD back to the start price' after each round: 144 buys, 0 failures.

   • infoMIN_LAUNCH_LEAD is evaluated at simulation time only; a claim creation mined more than an hour later still burns the address staking has baked inscript/DeployImdo.s.sol:153

     The lead makes the failure less likely but keeps its shape: preflight runs against the simulation block, while the token, staking and claim creations are three separate broadcast transactions.

     If the claim creation is mined at or after launch (slow hardware-wallet signing of the ~13 transactions, a low gas price with --with-gas-price, an RPC stall, or an operator resuming a partial broadcast later), ImdoClaim's constructor check launch_ < block.timestamp (src/ImdoClaim.sol:56) reverts, the deployer's nonce is still consumed, and the address staking.claimContract points to can never receive code: token and staking must be redeployed, as docs/DEPLOYMENT.md now says.

     The same one-hour window is also used for the Permit2 expiry and the modifyLiquidities deadline (lines 129 and 137), which merely revert recoverably. The lead is adequate for an uninterrupted broadcast; the residual risk is operational and documented.

     Two structural options remove it entirely rather than shrinking it: (a) drop the constructor's launch_ < block.timestamp revert (preflight already enforces the lead, and a launch in the past only means claims open immediately), or (b) create staking and claim from one small factory in a single transaction so a revert leaves no half-deployed state.

     Either is a design change for the requester to decide; the test in ImdoDeploy.t.sol cannot exercise this because the local deploy is one transaction and re-runs preflight inside deploy().

     whole finding

     Emulate the broadcast as separate transactions at T = 1_800_000_000 with launch = T + 1 hours (preflight accepts exactly this). tx1: new IMDOToken(). tx2: new ImdoStaking(token, imd, pm, computeCreateAddress(deployer, nonce+1), safe).

     Warp to launch + 1 and send tx3: new ImdoClaim(token, staking, seatNFT, 2000, 0, launch).

     Expected: the deployment completes or fails before any state is created.

     Actual: tx3 reverts InvalidConfiguration, the nonce is consumed, staking.claimContract() has no code and a retry with a later launch lands at a different address, so staking.stakeFor is unusable forever (scratch test test/scratch/DeployLeadBurn.t.sol passes on this code).

No critical/high was found, so no failing proofs are attached; the five scratch tests under test/scratch/ are passing demonstrations of the residual behaviours (nothing there is kept, and no tracked file was modified).

   Assigned area: permissions (Access Control / Trust Gap / Asymmetry)

   Every state-changing entry point was inventoried and its guard traced; none has a guard weaker than its effect:

   • ImdoHook: lowerFee onlyOwner (lower-only, 0 allowed — documented power); beforeInitialize onlyPoolManager + sender == owner() + one-shot initialized + ETH/IMDO key; beforeSwap/afterSwap onlyPoolManager (only one pool can carry this hook); redeemFees public but pays only the immutable treasury; unlockCallback onlyPoolManager + _redeeming. Fee math is symmetric across the four swap modes (verified against v4's Hooks.afterSwap delta handling); prepaid fee + PartialFillNotSupported/EmptySwap are atomic with the swap.
   • ImdoStaking: stakeFor claim-only and the claim only stakes for msg.sender (finding 3 disclosure is accurate); withdrawRegen regenSafe-only, bounded by notified − withdrawn, pays only regenSafe; notifyReward/notifyRegen public (donations only enlarge credits); exclusions, lock reset and _settle/_syncBacklogStreams ordering are mirrored between stake/stakeFor and unstake/exit.
   • ImdoClaim: ownerOf-only seats (operators excluded), bound leaves (msg.sender,total), global holder cap, deadline/launch gating, exact allowance cleared.
   • ImdoTreasury: setRegenCap regenSafe-only within immutable bounds; payOps/payOffsets pull-only to fixed wallets; claimKeeper own balance; unlockCallback PoolManager + _inProcess; executeImd self-call + _inProcess; ETH identity balance = owed + pending + unsplit holds on every path including failed bounty/REGEN/IMD legs.
   • Trust-gap seam (access × economics): the only privileged-free actor who touches a price is the keeper via process(); its sandwich exposure is bounded by the floor — which is exactly where the residuals below live.

   Commit 1 (_refreshCheckpoint, 200 bps) — answers to the four questions

   1. Sound in both directions? Downward yes: the checkpoint can never fall faster than the 7-day decay (judge's ratchet test holds). Upward yes: ≤ 200 bps of sqrt-price per filled buy, dust pins recover in ≈47 min (dust) to ≈1.2 h (1 ETH buys).
   2. Can the floor still be pinned? Yes, below market (finding, low): after an honest IMD sell-off, a front-runner who pushes spot to the floor before every buy keeps post < floorNow, so line 362 writes floorNow and the ceiling is never reached — the checkpoint never follows the market and each buy fills at the stale floor (fixture: 12 rounds, checkpoint at 76% of market, buys receive 57% of market output). On the mainnet pool (≈692 ETH virtual depth, 1.099% swap fee) this is a loss for the attacker at the 1 ETH cap (break-even needs depth < ~91 ETH; a JIT LP nets ≈0.04 ETH/buy), so it is griefing-grade today and becomes extraction only if depth collapses.

     README 'Verification' and test/TESTING.md require forge build, forge test and forge fmt --check to pass with the unchanged configuration, and docs/REVIEW.md records forge fmt --check as 'Passed'.

     The test file added by commit e28a1f9 is not formatted per the repository's [fmt] section (line_length = 120): line 59 is 128 characters (the getLiquidityForAmounts argument list must be split one argument per line, lines 58-60) and the ImdoStaking construction at lines 65-67 must collapse to a single staking = continuation line. forge fmt --check therefore exits 1 on the tree as it stands.

   • lowSandwiched buys keep a stale checkpoint pinned below market: the clamped refresh never follows an honest upward sqrt-price move while every buy is front-run down to the floorsrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:362

     The clamp fixes the judge's downward ratchet (confirmed: in CheckpointRefreshTest the checkpoint stays within the 7-day decay).

     It does not restore the floor under adversarial ordering. post is the post-swap spot, which the keeper or any front-runner controls: after an honest move that leaves spot above the checkpoint (IMD got cheaper, sqrt-price up), an attacker who buys IMD until spot sits ~1% under the enforced floor before every process() makes the treasury's own 1 ETH swap end below floorNow, so line 362 writes floorNow and the 200 bps ceiling at line 363 is never reached.

     The checkpoint then only decays (0.099% per 600 s) and never approaches market, and every sandwiched buy executes at the stale floor: the effective tolerance is the whole honest gap (plus the 300 bps slippage), not 300 bps. Scratch run (fresh PoolManager, 200 ETH full-range ETH/IMD liquidity, fee 10000/200, 1 ETH max buy, 300 bps, 600 s): honest +30% sqrt move after one honest buy; 12 sandwiched rounds (front-run buy to floor*0.99, process(), back-run sell to market).

     Result: checkpoint = 98.81% of its pre-move value = 76.0% of market after 12 filled buys; sandwiched buys returned on average 211.0 IMD per 1 ETH versus 368.0 IMD for an unsandwiched buy at market (57.3%), i.e. the treasury gave up ~43% of 12 ETH of purchases.

     Economics: at that depth the sandwicher's own round trips cost ~38 ETH (1% LP fee both ways on ~48 ETH of push volume per leg, plus adverse impact), so the attack is a loss; it pays only when the attacker captures its own fees (JIT liquidity in the gap range) or the pool is thin.

     For a 1 ETH buy: sandwich profit = e(1-1/r) - 20.011X*(sqrt(r)-1) is negative for every r (breaks even only if X < ~91 ETH); a JIT LP paying only the 0.1% protocol fee nets at most 0.037 ETH per buy at r1.28. So on current depth the residual is griefing-grade; it becomes value extraction if the active-tick depth collapses below ~90x maxEthPerBuy.

     Under the pre-commit code the same adversary could additionally ratchet the floor down, so the commit is a strict improvement; the residual is that only unsandwiched buys close an honest gap, at 200 bps per buy.

     No clean fix exists inside a same-block-spot design; options are (a) document it as a trust/operational assumption next to the existing manipulation caveat, (b) let the rise bound scale with cooldowns elapsed since the last refresh (capped, e.g. min(2000, 200 * cooldownsElapsed) bps) so honest gaps close faster when buys are infrequent while a dust pin still costs one push per step, and (c) keep maxEthPerBuy below ~1% of the active-tick virtual ETH depth (operator check at deployment and when depth changes).

   • lowRefresh clamps the treasury's own price impact out of the checkpoint: in a pool nobody arbitrages back, consecutive max-size buys begin failing after a few rounds (all filled before the commit)src/ImdoTreasury.sol:355

     Before commit e28a1f9 the refresh copied the post-swap spot, so the sqrt-price drop caused by the treasury's own buy (~e/X per buy) was absorbed into the next floor. Now next = max(post, floorNow) (line 362), so the own impact must be covered by the decay (7d/(7d+600 s) = 0.099% of sqrt-price per cooldown) plus the 300 bps slippage slack (~1.5% of sqrt-price).

     If the ETH/IMD pool is the market (no external venue arbitrages the price back between cooldowns), a run of max-size buys drifts spot below the floor by (impact - decay) per round until InsufficientOutput; each failure halves retryCap, a halved buy may fill, so the leg degrades to roughly the decay rate instead of stopping outright.

     Scratch run (200 ETH full-range pool, 1 ETH buys every 600 s, no other trades, REGEN cap set to 5 ETH so each round allocates ~1 ETH to the leg): floor/spot after rounds 1-4 = 1.0039, 1.0078, 1.0118, 1.0157; round 5 fails (retryCap -> 0.5 ETH), rounds 7 and 8 fail (retryCap 0.5 then 0.25 ETH); after 8 rounds 3.5 ETH of the 8 ETH allocated is still pending.

     On the mainnet pool (~692 ETH virtual depth at the active tick, see previous finding) the own impact of a 1 ETH buy is 0.143% vs 0.099% decay, so roughly 35 consecutive un-arbitraged 1 ETH buys (~6 h of maximum-rate processing) precede the first failure.

     Impact: delay only (ETH stays pending, no loss, no bounty is lost). This answers the judge's question: no external honest move stalls longer than the 7-day decay implies, but the treasury's own demand is now charged against the decay budget, which the comment at line 355 does not say.

     Document it (README 'Operational risks') or absorb the own impact explicitly: pass the pre-swap spot read in quoteMinOut into the refresh and allow next = max(post, floorNow * post / pre) only when pre >= floorNow (an unsandwiched buy), which keeps the sandwich bound intact because a front-run that lowers pre below floorNow gets no allowance.

     Actual: rounds 1-4 fill with floor/spot rising 0.39% per round; round 5 emits LegFailed(InsufficientOutput) and retryCap = 0.5 ETH; 3 of 8 rounds fail; 3.5 ETH pending at the end.

   • infoCheckpoint seeds at construction and at first process() are unclamped spot reads; a sandwich of the treasury's deployment transaction stalls the IMD leg for 7 d x (push - 1)src/ImdoTreasury.sol:151

     _refreshCheckpoint bounds every later move, but the initial reference (constructor, line 151; _ensurePool line 384 when the pool did not exist at construction) copies spot with no bound. DeployImdo creates the treasury as the fourth broadcast transaction with its calldata visible in the public mempool.

     A seller who pushes the sqrt-price up by a factor g in the block of the creation and buys back afterwards leaves checkpointSqrtPriceX96 = g x market, so quoteMinOut demands ~0.985 g x market until the decay closes the gap, i.e. 7 d x (g - 1): 3.4 h for g = 1.02, 1.4 d for 1.2, 3.5 d for 1.5.

     Scratch run: push +20% around the constructor, buy back, then fund 0.01 ETH every 600 s -> 183 consecutive process() calls fail (LegFailed InsufficientOutput), 30 hours of stall before the first fill. Cost on the mainnet pool: ~115 ETH of IMD sold and bought back for g = 1.2, ~2.5 ETH of fees (1.099% each way) for 1.4 days of delay; ~0.3 ETH for 3.4 h at g = 1.02. Pure griefing (no profit, ETH stays pending).

     Mitigation: deploy through a private relay, or give the constructor an operator-reviewed sqrtPrice reference and clamp the seed to [ref / 1.02, ref x 1.02] (the same bound the refresh now applies), or accept and note it under the existing manipulation caveat.

   • infoMIN_LAUNCH_LEAD is checked only at simulation time: a broadcast that stalls past the lead still burns the predicted claim address, and the Permit2 expiry and modifyLiquidities deadline share the same script/DeployImdo.s.sol:153

     The lead is adequate for the hazard the judge named (a launch at or just after the simulation time) and test_scriptRequiresLaunchLeadBeforeAnyCreation proves the boundary.

     It is a minimum, not a guarantee: preflight runs on the simulation block, the claim is transaction 3 of 14 separate broadcast transactions, and if its inclusion is delayed beyond launch (stuck gas price, an operator pausing between the dry run and --broadcast, or --resume, which re-sends the recorded transactions without re-running preflight), ImdoClaim's constructor reverts on launch_ < block.timestamp, the nonce is consumed, and ImdoStaking's immutable claimContract points at an address that can never receive code: token, staking and everything after them must be redeployed (docs/DEPLOYMENT.md says so).

     Lines 129 and 137 give the Permit2 allowance and the modifyLiquidities call a deadline of simulation block.timestamp + 1 hours, so any stall of one hour or more also breaks the sequence at transactions 8/9 (DeadlinePassed / expired allowance) even when launch was set generously.

     Recommendation: choose launch several hours after the intended broadcast (the constant is a floor), re-simulate immediately before broadcasting, never --resume across a long gap, and either align the two 1-hour deadlines with the lead (e.g. use c.launch as the deadline) or make them a Config field.

     Actual: staking.claimContract() == expectedClaim and expectedClaim.code.length == 0.

     Expected by an operator who read 'preflight rejects less': the lead protects the sequence.

   • infoHook CREATE2 through the permissionless deterministic deployer can be replayed by a front-runner: the identical hook lands first and the operator's own transaction reverts on-chain, halting the broadcscript/DeployImdo.s.sol:115

     Under broadcast this creation is a call to 0x4e59b44847b379578588920cA78FbF26c0B4956C with salt ++ initcode, visible in the mempool like the rest of the sequence; the factory has no sender binding, so anyone can send the same calldata first.

     The front-run hook is byte-identical (owner = c.deployer, the same treasury and token), so no authority is lost, but the operator's transaction 5 then reverts (CREATE2 collision makes the factory revert), and Foundry stops the 14-transaction sequence with token, staking, claim and treasury already live. An EVM create collision consumes all gas forwarded to the CREATE2, so the reverted transaction burns its whole gas limit, and --resume re-sends the same reverting call.

     A fresh forge script run starts over with new nonces (new treasury address, new salt), abandoning the first four contracts and their gas; the pending ImdoClaim (funded later in the sequence, so empty) is harmless, but the operator must notice the collision rather than retry.

     Note for the rehearsal: script/utils/HookMiner.sol line 39 only returns a salt whose address has no code, so a fresh simulation run after the front-run silently mines the next salt and deploys a second hook elsewhere; a dry run never reproduces the on-chain revert.

     Mitigation: send the sequence through a private relay/bundle, or mine the salt with a sender-bound CREATE2 factory (e.g. a salt prefixed with the deployer address, as ImmutableCreate2Factory does) so a replay from another account lands elsewhere.

     whole finding

     On-chain: compute (expectedHook, salt) = HookMiner.find(0x4e59b4...956C, 0x20cc, type(ImdoHook).creationCode, abi.encode(poolManager, computeCreateAddress(deployer, n), computeCreateAddress(deployer, n + 3), deployer)) from the pending transactions; send abi.encodePacked(salt, creationCode, args) to the factory from any EOA before transaction 5 is included.

     Actual: expectedHook has code and owner() == deployer; the operator's transaction 5 reverts and the broadcast halts.

     Scratch test test/scratch/DeployResidual.t.sol::test_hookCreate2CanBeFrontRunHaltingTheBroadcast (passes on this code, demonstrating the behaviour): snapshot, run the script once to read the queued transactions' token/treasury/salt, revert the snapshot, replay salt ++ initcode from a griefer (hook lands at expectedHook with owner() == c.deployer and treasury() == the intended treasury), then replay the operator's recorded calldata from c.deployer with a 3M gas budget: the factory call fails (CREATE2 collision, all forwarded gas consumed); a subsequent fresh run of the script succeeds with a different hook address because HookMiner skipped the occupied one.

5. Audit mathAgent #1254found 3 low, 2 info

   Review complete. The findings file is written and every snippet verifies against the tree; no tracked file was changed.

   Suite and format results

   Check	Result
   Default suite (19 files, run per file)	101 passed, 0 failed
   forge fmt --check	exit 1, diff in test/unit/CheckpointRefresh.t.sol

   One caveat on the suite. A single-shot forge test is killed by this sandbox's 1.5 GB memory cgroup during the via_ir compile, so I ran each test file separately with one compiler thread. Every file compiled and passed; the kill is an environment limit, not a code problem.

   Findings written to .imd-findings.json (3 low, 2 info), all with concrete reproductions:

   • Low, floor decays geometrically under sandwiching (src/ImdoTreasury.sol:362). The clamp writes the checkpoint to the floor and resets its age on every sandwiched buy, so the floor follows (7d/(7d+600))^N instead of the documented 7d/(7d+N*600). After three days of cooldown-spaced sandwiches the enforced floor is 65.2% of the original versus the 70.0% the design states; after a week it would be 36.8% versus 50%. Proof attached; it fails on this code and passes when the anchor is left untouched whenever the refresh does not move the reference up.
   • Low, repeated dust pins ratchet the floor above spot (src/ImdoTreasury.sol:359). The 200 bps rise is granted per buy regardless of size. Twelve 1-gwei buys at a pushed price over two hours lift the floor to 1.26x market and the IMD leg then fails every call for about 1.6 days, against the README's "under an hour". Griefing only, roughly 7 ETH of pool fees in the 200 ETH test pool. Proof attached; it passes when the rise scales with ethIn / maxEthPerBuy. The judge's two checkpoint tests still pass under both fixes (verified on a patched copy that I then removed).
   • Low, unbounded seed at construction (src/ImdoTreasury.sol:151). The constructor and first process() copy raw spot with no clamp, so a sandwiched deployment at 1.5x pins the floor for about 3.3 days. Reproduced in test/scratch/SeedSandwich.t.sol (288 consecutive failures over 48 h); no proof field since a fix needs a new constructor argument.
   • Info, fmt failure on the test added by the first project commit.
   • Info, launch lead. One hour is measured from simulation time and equals the LP-mint deadline, so it only covers an hour of broadcast slip before the irrecoverable claim-nonce burn. Sufficient under the documented operational assumption, but a longer minimum costs nothing.

   What I could not do. The judge's informational findings 4-7 are not recorded anywhere in the tree, only the commit title references findings 1-3, so I could not confirm their text. On honest market moves, the clamp does not lengthen stalls beyond what the 7-day decay implies; it shortens the stall after a dump-then-recovery. The hook fee math, treasury split arithmetic, staking accumulator, claim vesting and deploy tick math checked out with no precision defects at the boundaries I exercised.

   • lowCheckpoint refresh resets the decay anchor on every sandwiched buy, so the floor decays geometrically instead of by the documented 7-day hyperbolasrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:362

     _refreshCheckpoint (commit e28a1f9) clamps the post-swap price to floorNow when the pool sits under the floor, then unconditionally writes checkpointAt = block.timestamp. The floor is cp * 7d / (7d + age); writing cp = floorNow with age reset to 0 leaves the current floor unchanged but steepens its future slope from -floorNow/(7d+age) to -floorNow/7d.

     Under repeated sandwiched buys spaced dt apart the enforced floor becomes cp0 * (7d/(7d+dt))^N, a geometric decay, not the cp0 * 7d/(7d+N*dt) that README.md and the function's own comment ('never below the floor this call required ... downward via the 7-day decay') describe.

     Numbers for dt = 600 s: N = 20 (judge's test) 0.9803 vs 0.9806 (indistinguishable, which is why CheckpointRefresh.t.sol passes); N = 144 (1 day) 0.867 vs 0.875; N = 432 (3 days) 0.651 vs 0.700; N = 1008 (7 days) 0.368 vs 0.500 of cp0 in sqrt-price, i.e. the treasury accepts 1/0.368^2 = 7.4x fewer IMD per ETH where the stated decay allows 4x. The sandwicher's bound on the treasury's loss therefore keeps widening faster than the design states; stakers receive the shortfall.

     Seam: precision x invariant (per-step rounding of the anchor compounds against the hyperbolic invariant).

     Fix: when the clamp lands on floorNow (no genuine upward move), leave checkpointSqrtPriceX96 and checkpointAt untouched so the floor continues from the original anchor; only advance the anchor when next > floorNow. The attached proof passes under that change (verified on a patched copy under test/scratch/) and the judge's two CheckpointRefresh tests still pass.

     whole finding

     Setup as test/unit/CheckpointRefresh.t.sol (200 ETH full-range ETH/IMD pool, treasury defaults).

     One honest 1 ETH process() anchors cp0 at t0.

     Then 432 rounds: warp +600 s, fund 1 ETH, buy IMD until spot = 0.991 * floorNow, process() (fills), sell back to market.

     Expected: enforced floor >= cp0 * 7d / (7d + 259200) = 0.6999 cp0.

     Actual: floor = 0.6515 cp0 (768036953006014633935250631937 vs 824289157495641637278626311288), 7% below the documented bound after three days.

     whole proof

   • lowMAX_CHECKPOINT_RISE_BPS is granted per buy regardless of size, so repeated 1-gwei buys at a pushed price ratchet the floor above spot and stall the IMD leg for dayssrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:359

     The upward clamp bounds one refresh to +200 bps of sqrt-price above floorNow, but it is relative to the previous floor and independent of ethIn. A dust buy (pending as low as 1.2 gwei after a 3 gwei deposit, or retryCap already halved to 1 gwei by earlier failures) at a sqrt-price pushed just above the ceiling moves the checkpoint by the full step, and the decay only gives back 7d/(7d+600) = 0.1% per cooldown.

     Repeating the pin every 600 s compounds to 1.02^N * 0.999^N: after 12 pins (two hours) the floor is 1.2557x market in sqrt terms. A buy then needs output >= afterFee * 1.2557^2 * 0.97 * market^2 = 1.53x what the pool pays, so every process() fails until the floor decays to 1.0153x market: 7d * (1.2557/1.0153 - 1) = 1.6 days, and the attacker can top the pin up again at any time (each pin succeeds whenever spot is pushed above the floor).

     README.md states one dust buy cannot pin the floor 'for longer than that decay takes to close a 2% gap (under an hour)'; the per-buy bound makes that true for one pin and false for a sequence. Cost in the 200 ETH test pool: twelve sells of 3%..27% of sqrt-price and buy-backs at 1% pool fee each way, roughly 7 ETH of fees for 1.6 days of stalled IMD buying (pending ETH is delayed, not lost), so this is griefing, not profit.

     Choosing a smaller constant does not remove it: any step above the 0.1%/cooldown decay is ratchetable, and a smaller step widens the sandwich window after honest IMD dumps.

     Fix: scale the allowed rise with the buy, riseBps = MAX_CHECKPOINT_RISE_BPS * ethIn / maxEthPerBuy, so pinning requires full-size buys at the pushed price (each of which hands the treasury IMD at a 4%+ discount). The attached proof passes under that change on a patched copy, and the judge's two tests still pass.

     whole finding

     Setup as test/unit/CheckpointRefresh.t.sol.

     Honest 1 ETH process() anchors cp at market m.

     Twelve rounds: warp +600 s, sell IMD until sqrt-price = 1.03 * floorNow, fund 3 gwei, process() (1.2 gwei buy fills at the pushed price), buy back to m.

     Expected (README): leg live again within the hour.

     Actual: checkpoint = 1.2532 cp0 = 1.2557 m; then 144 consecutive process() calls over the next 24 h (0.01 ETH funded each) all fail with InsufficientOutput, 0 IMD bought.

     whole proof

   • lowCheckpoint is seeded from the raw pool spot at construction (and at first process) with no bound, so a sandwiched deployment pins the floor above market for dayssrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:151

     The constructor copies slot0 of the ETH/IMD pool into checkpointSqrtPriceX96 unconditionally (and _ensurePool at line 384 does the same at the first process() when the constructor found no manager code).

     Nothing bounds that first reference, so the same attack the judge found for the post-buy refresh (now clamped to +2%) still exists at seeding with no clamp at all: front-run the treasury creation in script/DeployImdo.s.sol (a public broadcast) by selling IMD until the sqrt-price is k x market, let the constructor run, buy back. The floor starts at k x market and every IMD buy fails until 7d * (k/1.0153 - 1) has elapsed: 3.3 days for k = 1.5, 6.8 days for k = 2.

     ETH for the IMD leg is delayed (pending), the retry cap halves to 1 gwei, and keepers burn gas on failing calls; nothing is stolen, so this is griefing, and its cost is one sandwich (2% pool fees on (k-1) x the pool's IMD reserve in a full-range pool).

     Boundary: first call / initial state.

     Suggested fix: give the constructor (and the manual script's Config) an operator-supplied expected sqrt-price band and revert when slot0 is outside it, or seed with checkpointAt pre-aged so the first days enforce spot only; a lazy seed at the first process() does not help because that call is equally sandwichable.

     No Foundry proof is attached because a fix needs a new constructor argument that a test written against the current signature cannot exercise; the reproduction below is test/scratch/SeedSandwich.t.sol, which fails on this code.

     whole finding

     Setup as test/unit/CheckpointRefresh.t.sol but deploy the treasury after the sandwich: sell IMD until sqrt-price = 1.5 x market, construct ImdoTreasury with the default arguments, buy back to market.

     Expected: the IMD leg buys within a day or so.

     Actual: checkpointSqrtPriceX96 == 1.5 x market, and 288 consecutive process() calls over 48 h (0.01 ETH funded each, cooldown-spaced) all fail with InsufficientOutput; recovery needs about 3.3 days.

   • infoforge fmt --check fails on the test file added by commit e28a1f9test/unit/CheckpointRefresh.t.sol:59

     Fix: run forge fmt on that file (two hunks, no semantic change).

     Run forge fmt --check at the repository root.

     Expected: exit 0.

     Actual: exit 1 with 'Diff in test/unit/CheckpointRefresh.t.sol' at lines 59 and 65-67.

   • infoMIN_LAUNCH_LEAD (1 hour) is measured from simulation time and equals the LP-mint deadline; a broadcast that slips past it burns the predicted claim addressscript/DeployImdo.s.sol:40

     preflight() enforces launch >= block.timestamp + 1 hours in the simulation that precedes the broadcast, and ImdoClaim's constructor enforces launch >= block.timestamp in the block that mines the third transaction.

     The lead therefore covers at most one hour of broadcast delay between simulation and the claim creation; because the staking at nonce n already baked in the address at nonce n+1, a later failure consumes that nonce and forces a redeploy of staking, claim, treasury and hook (docs/DEPLOYMENT.md describes this).

     The same one-hour horizon is baked into the Permit2 approval expiry (line 129) and the modifyLiquidities deadline (line 137), so any slip beyond an hour fails the sequence anyway, but those later failures leave the token and staking usable while the claim failure does not.

     Given that the irrecoverable step comes first and that a launch window is a free parameter, the lead is sufficient only under the operational assumption the docs already state ('choose enough time'); a larger minimum (e.g. 6-24 hours) or a Config-level expected lead costs nothing and removes the reliance on that assumption. test/unit/ImdoDeploy.t.sol covers the boundary at MIN_LAUNCH_LEAD - 1 and MIN_LAUNCH_LEAD correctly.

     whole finding

     Config.launch = simulationTimestamp + 3600 passes preflight (ImdoDeploy.t.sol:142).

     If the claim-creation transaction (third in the sequence) is mined at or after simulationTimestamp + 3601 (stuck nonce, under-priced gas, operator pause after the first two transactions), ImdoClaim's constructor reverts InvalidConfiguration (launch_ < block.timestamp), the deployer nonce is consumed, and ImdoStaking.claimContract() points at an address that can never hold code.

     Expected: a lead that comfortably exceeds realistic broadcast delay or is coupled to the same deadline parameter the LP mint uses.

   Findings (merged, each reproduced)

   Commit 1 — bounded checkpoint refresh (src/ImdoTreasury.sol)

   1. [low] Rise clamp is per buy, not cumulative (:359, proof). Floor decays 0.099%/cooldown but each 1-gwei buy at a pushed price lifts it 2%: 12 rounds → 1.2557× market, 144 failed calls over 24 h; 20 rounds → 1.46× market, 3.06-day stall for ~17 ETH of round-trip fees at test depth. README/launch.json's "under an hour / not for days" wording holds only for one buy. Answers the brief: any step above the ~10 bps per-cooldown decay is ratchetable; 200 bps is not the issue. Suggested: scale the rise by ethIn / maxEthPerBuy.
   2. [low] Own impact clamped out — regression vs 8f2430e (:362, proof). 24 rounds of max inflow with no counter-flow: 11/24 IMD legs fail, 30.5 ETH pending; the identical test on a parent worktree fills 24/24. Honest moves stall no longer than the decay implies, but the treasury's own demand now consumes that budget.
   3. [low] Floor-clamped refresh resets the decay anchor (:365, proof). Repeated sandwiched buys make the floor decay geometrically: 0.651 vs the documented 0.700 of cp0 after 3 days.
   4. [info] Stale floor below market under persistent sandwiching (:285). Not a regression (parent: 75% of market / 3187 bps shortfall; now 90% / 2041 bps); fee-bounded while in-range depth exceeds ~90-110 ETH.
   5. [info] Construction seed is an unclamped spot read (:151). +20% push around the creation → 183 failed calls (30 h).

   Commit 2 — MIN_LAUNCH_LEAD (script/DeployImdo.s.sol:153) 6. [info] Lead is sufficient for an uninterrupted broadcast; the burn still happens if tx3 is mined after launch (reproduced), the Permit2/LP deadlines share the same hour, and launch has no upper bound.

   Other 7. [low] Hook anti-snipe clock starts on a fee-less 1 wei swap (src/ImdoHook.sol:174, proof) — first real buyer 30 min later pays 0.15 ETH on 10 ETH instead of 2 ETH; the pool is tradeable an hour or more before the announced launch. 8. [low] forge fmt --check gate fails; docs/REVIEW.md counts stale. 9. [info] Hook CREATE2 replayable via the permissionless factory (:115) — reproduced, gas-only.

   One caveat for the requester: the parent judge's informational findings 4-7 are not recorded anywhere in the tree (the commit message names only 1-3), so I could not confirm them against their original text; items 5-9 above are the residual informational issues the specialists collectively attributed to them, each re-verified here. None requires a change before mainnet beyond the fmt fix and the documentation corrections; findings 1-3 are worth a small follow-up commit since they concern the exact code just changed.

   • lowMAX_CHECKPOINT_RISE_BPS bounds one refresh, not the sum: repeated sandwiched dust buys lift the floor above market and stall the IMD leg for dayssrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:359

     Commit e28a1f9 clamps each post-buy refresh to floorNow * 1.02 (sqrt-price), but floorNow is the previous checkpoint decayed by only 7d/(7d+600s) = 0.099% per cooldown and the refresh resets checkpointAt, so successive buys compound: after N cooldowns the checkpoint can sit at market * (1.02 * 0.999)^N.

     The ceiling is independent of ethIn, so a buy of ~1 gwei (receive() is open; 3 gwei sent to the treasury puts ~1.2 gwei in the IMD leg, above MIN_ETH_PER_BUY) moves it by the full step. Anyone who is the keeper each cooldown can therefore sell IMD until the sqrt-price clears the next ceiling, call process() so the dust buy fills there, and buy back, inside one transaction.

     After 12 rounds (2 h) the checkpoint is 1.2557x market and 144 consecutive process() calls over the next 24 h all fail with InsufficientOutput; after 20 rounds (3.3 h) it is 1.4596x market and the leg is stalled for 264,600 s (3.06 days). README.md:35 and launch.json say a dust buy 'cannot pin the floor above spot for longer than that decay takes to close a 2% gap (under an hour)' / 'cannot pin it above spot for days'; both hold only for a single buy.

     Cost is round-trip pool fees and impact only: 17.17 ETH-equivalent for 20 rounds at the 200 ETH test depth (about 2.8x that at the mainnet pool's ~564-692 ETH virtual depth). No funds are lost: pending IMD ETH waits, the retry cap halves, and the other legs continue, so this is a paid grief of the 40% leg, not extraction. It also answers the brief: 200 bps is not what leaves the cheaper path, any per-buy step larger than the ~10 bps per-cooldown decay is ratchetable.

     Merged from audit_flow, audit_economics and audit_math (three equivalent reports). Minimal fix inside the design: scale the permitted rise with the buy, riseBps = MAX_CHECKPOINT_RISE_BPS * ethIn / maxEthPerBuy (a pin then requires full-size buys at the pushed price, each handing the treasury IMD at a discount), and/or bound the rise by elapsed time since the last upward refresh; correct the README/launch.json wording either way.

     whole finding

     Fixture of test/unit/CheckpointRefresh.t.sol (200 ETH full-range ETH/IMD pool, script constants).

     (1) fund 1 ETH, process(): checkpoint = market.

     (2) Repeat 12 times: warp +600 s; sell IMD (oneForZero) with sqrtPriceLimit = floorNow * 1.03; send 3 gwei to the treasury; process() (pending becomes 0, CheckpointRefreshed to floorNow * 1.02); buy IMD back to market.

     (3) warp +600 s, fund 0.01 ETH, process(), repeat 144 times.

     Expected per README: IMD bought within the hour.

     Actual (test/scratch run of the attached proof): checkpoint/market = 12557 bps, 144 failed calls, 0 IMD bought in 24 h.

     With 20 rounds (test/scratch/Residual.t.sol::test_cumulativePinCost): checkpoint/market = 14596 bps, 264,600 s stalled, round-trip cost 17,166,091,265,848,883,922 wei.

     whole proof

   • lowRefresh clamps the treasury's own price impact out of the checkpoint: without counter-flow the IMD leg stalls after four max-size buys (regression vs 8f2430e)src/ImdoTreasury.sol:362

     Before e28a1f9 the refresh copied the post-swap spot, so the sqrt-price drop caused by the treasury's own buy was absorbed into the next floor. Now next = max(post, floorNow), so each 1 ETH buy's own impact (0.39% of sqrt-price at the 200 ETH test depth, ~0.14-0.18% at the mainnet pool's depth) must be covered by the decay (0.099% per 600 s) plus the 300 bps slippage slack (~1.5% of sqrt-price).

     When the ETH/IMD pool is the market and nobody arbitrages the price back between cooldowns, floor/spot grows ~0.3% per round and the fifth buy fails InsufficientOutput; the cap halves, a half buy fills, and the leg degrades to roughly the decay rate. Over 24 rounds of maximum inflow (2.5126 ETH per cooldown) 11 of 24 IMD legs fail and 30.5 ETH sits pending; on the parent commit 8f2430e the identical test fills all 24 (14.5 ETH pending, the per-buy cap alone).

     The same mechanism follows any honest downward sqrt-price drift (IMD rallying) faster than ~10 bps per cooldown, although every single step is far inside the 3% slippage band: the leg then follows the market only at the decay rate.

     This answers the brief's question: no honest move stalls the leg longer than the 7-day decay implies, but the treasury's own demand is now charged against that decay budget, which the comment at line 355 ('Genuine moves still pass through') does not say. Delay only; no ETH is lost. Merged from audit_flow, audit_economics and audit_permissions.

     Fix options that keep the sandwich bound: allow the refresh to absorb the buy's own measured impact, next = max(post, floorNow * post / pre) only when the pre-swap spot pre >= floorNow (an unsandwiched buy; a front-run that lowers pre below floorNow gets no allowance), or shorten CHECKPOINT_DECAY; otherwise document the ~0.1%/cooldown tracking limit in README 'Operational risks'.

     whole finding

     Fixture of test/unit/CheckpointRefresh.t.sol.

     Loop 24 times: warp +600 s; send 2.5126 ETH to the treasury; process(); do nothing else to the pool.

     Expected (design: 1 ETH buy every cooldown while pending >= 1 ETH): 24 LegBought.

     Actual on this tree: floor/spot after rounds 1-4 = 10039, 10078, 10118, 10157 bps; round 5 emits LegFailed(InsufficientOutput) and retryCap = 0.5 ETH; 11 of 24 rounds fail; pending = 30.5 ETH.

     Same test on a worktree of 8f2430e: 0 of 24 fail.

     Attached proof test/scratch/OwnImpact.t.sol fails here with '11 != 0'.

   • lowFloor-clamped refresh resets the decay anchor, so under repeated sandwiched buys the floor decays geometrically, below the documented 7-day hyperbolasrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:365

     When the post-swap price is under the floor, _refreshCheckpoint writes checkpointSqrtPriceX96 = floorNow and unconditionally checkpointAt = block.timestamp. The current floor is unchanged, but its future slope steepens from -floorNow/(7d+age) to -floorNow/7d: after N sandwiched buys spaced dt apart the enforced floor is cp0 * (7d/(7d+dt))^N instead of the cp0 * 7d/(7d+N*dt) that README.md and the function comment ('downward via the 7-day decay') describe.

     For dt = 600 s: N = 20 gives 0.9803 vs 0.9806 (why CheckpointRefresh.t.sol cannot see it), N = 432 (3 days) 0.651 vs 0.700, N = 1008 (7 days) 0.368 vs 0.500 of cp0 in sqrt-price, i.e. the bound on how far a persistent sandwicher can push the treasury's accepted price widens faster than stated (7.4x fewer IMD per ETH at a week versus the documented 4x). Stakers receive the shortfall; it is bounded by pool depth and round-trip fees as described in the sandwich finding below.

     From audit_math; reproduced with the attached proof.

     Fix: when the clamp lands on floorNow (no genuine upward move) leave checkpointSqrtPriceX96 and checkpointAt untouched so the floor continues from the original anchor; only advance the anchor when next > floorNow. The judge's two CheckpointRefresh tests remain valid under that change.

     whole finding

     Fixture of test/unit/CheckpointRefresh.t.sol.

     One honest 1 ETH process() anchors cp0 at t0.

     Then 432 rounds: warp +600 s, fund 1 ETH, buy IMD until spot = 0.991 * floorNow, process() (fills), sell back to market.

     Expected: enforced floor >= cp0 * 7d / (7d + 259200 s) = 0.6999 cp0.

     Actual: 0.6515 cp0 (768036953006014633935250631937 vs 824289157495641637278626311288).

     Attached proof fails on this tree with 'floor fell below cp0 * 7d / (7d + elapsed)'.

   • lowAnti-snipe fee clock starts at any first swap, including a 1 wei buy that pays no fee, so the 20% launch fee can be bypassed before the announced launchsrc/ImdoHook.sol:174

     beforeSwap records launchTimestamp on the first swap regardless of size. A 1 wei exact-input buy computes fee = 1 * 2000 / 10000 = 0, takes nothing, and starts the 30-minute linear decay (the project's own test helper LocalV4.warpPastDecay relies on exactly this). script/DeployImdo.s.sol initializes and seeds the ETH/IMDO pool at deployment, at least MIN_LAUNCH_LEAD (1 hour) before the claim launch, and nothing gates swaps before launch.

     A bot watching the deployer can therefore start the clock in the pool-creation block and 30 minutes later buy at the 150 bps steady fee, before the claim window the project announces opens, so the 20% launch fee never applies to the trades it was meant to tax. Nothing is lost by the contracts; the treasury forgoes the anti-snipe premium and the documented schedule ('20.00% at the first filled swap' in the contract header) does not describe what happens.

     From audit_flow; reproduced with the attached proof on a fresh pool. Minimal fix that keeps the schedule: anchor the decay to an immutable launch timestamp passed to the hook (the same launch the claim uses), with swaps before it paying LAUNCH_FEE_BPS flat; or require the clock-starting swap to carry at least a minimum ETH amount.

     whole finding

     Fresh PoolManager, ImdoHook mined with flags 0x20cc, ETH/IMDO pool at tick 177240 seeded with 890M IMDO single-sided (the script's layout), launchTimestamp == 0, currentFeeBps() == 2000.

     Swap zeroForOne exact input 1 wei: fees taken (treasury balance + deferred ERC-6909 claims) unchanged at 0, launchTimestamp == block.timestamp.

     Warp +30 minutes: currentFeeBps() == 150.

     Buy with 10 ETH.

     Expected under the documented schedule: 2 ETH fee.

     Actual: 0.15 ETH (150000000000000000 wei).

   • infoPersistent sandwiching still holds the floor below market after an honest IMD drop: the refresh never rises while every buy is front-run to the floor (inherited; improved vs parent; fee-bounded at maisrc/ImdoTreasury.sol:285

     After a move that leaves spot above the floor (an honest IMD sale, or the floor's own decay during a pause), the checkpoint only rises when a buy's post-swap price exceeds floorNow. A front-runner who buys IMD down to just under the floor before each process() makes the treasury quote at the floor and leaves post < floorNow, so the refresh writes floorNow every time and the gap never closes (it widens 0.1% per cooldown).

     The treasury then pays the whole honest gap plus the 300 bps band on every sandwiched buy, for as long as the sandwicher is willing to be the keeper.

     This is not a regression: the parent additionally ratcheted the floor down (same test on 8f2430e: checkpoint 75.5% of market and 3187 bps average shortfall, versus 89.8% and 2041 bps here), and it is bounded by pool depth: moving the sqrt-price by a gap g costs ~2 * 1.1% * g * depth in round-trip fees against ~2 * g * ethIn of extraction, so with maxEthPerBuy = 1 ETH it is unprofitable while in-range virtual ETH depth exceeds ~90-110 ETH (564-692 ETH on the mainnet pool at blocks 26,137,698-26,137,750 per the specialists' reads), unless the attacker owns most of the in-range liquidity.

     Merged from audit_flow, audit_economics and audit_permissions. Keep maxEthPerBuy small relative to pool depth, state the depth assumption in README next to the existing manipulation caveat, and monitor CheckpointRefreshed for repeated post < checkpoint rounds. A design-level option is to let the rise bound scale with cooldowns elapsed since the last upward refresh, so honest gaps close faster when buys are infrequent.

     test/scratch/Residual.t.sol::test_sandwichedBuysNeverLiftStaleFloor (passes; demonstrates the behaviour).

     Fixture of CheckpointRefresh.t.sol: honest 1 ETH buy (cp0); third party sells IMD until sqrt-price = 1.10 cp0 (market).

     12 rounds: warp +600 s, fund 2.5126 ETH, buy IMD with limit floor * 0.99, process() (fills), sell back to market.

     Expected by the commit comment ('upward in bounded steps per buy'): checkpoint rises up to 2% per filled buy toward market.

     Actual: checkpoint/cp0 = 9881 bps, checkpoint/market = 8983 bps, average IMD shortfall vs the market quote 2041 bps per buy.

     On 8f2430e: 8300 / 7546 / 3187 bps.

   • infoCheckpoint seed at construction (and at first process()) is an unclamped spot read: a sandwiched treasury creation pins the floor above market for 7d x (push - 1)src/ImdoTreasury.sol:151

     _refreshCheckpoint bounds every later move, but the initial reference copies slot0 with no bound, both in the constructor (line 151) and in _ensurePool (line 384) when the pool did not exist at construction.

     DeployImdo creates the treasury as the fourth broadcast transaction with calldata visible in the public mempool; a seller who pushes the sqrt-price up by a factor g around that block and buys back leaves checkpointSqrtPriceX96 = g x market, so every IMD buy fails until the decay closes the gap: about 7 d x (g - 1): 3.4 h for g = 1.02, 1.4 d for 1.2, 3.5 d for 1.5.

     Pure griefing (ETH stays pending; cost is round-trip fees on (g - 1) x the pool's reserve, ~2.5 ETH for g = 1.2 at mainnet depth). Merged from audit_math and audit_permissions.

     Mitigation: deploy through a private relay, or give the constructor an operator-reviewed expected sqrt-price and revert (or clamp to +/-2%) when slot0 is outside it, or seed with checkpointAt pre-aged so the first days enforce spot only. A lazy seed at first process() does not help because that call is equally sandwichable.

     No proof attached: a fix needs a constructor argument the current signature lacks.

     whole finding

     test/scratch/Residual.t.sol::test_constructionSeedIsUnclampedSpot (fails on this tree with '183 >= 6').

     Fixture of CheckpointRefresh.t.sol: sell IMD with sqrtPriceLimit = spot x 1.2; construct ImdoTreasury with the script's arguments; buy IMD back to the original spot; leg(0).checkpointSqrtPriceX96 / market = 11999 bps.

     Then fund 0.01 ETH and process() every 600 s.

     Expected: a fresh treasury buys at market within an hour.

     Actual: 183 consecutive failed calls (30 h) before the first LegBought.

   • infoMIN_LAUNCH_LEAD is checked only at simulation time: a claim creation mined after `launch` still burns the predicted address; the Permit2 expiry and LP-mint deadline share the same one-hour horizon; noscript/DeployImdo.s.sol:153

     The lead removes the hazard the parent judge named (a launch at or just after simulation time) and test_scriptRequiresLaunchLeadBeforeAnyCreation proves the boundary. It is a minimum, not a guarantee: preflight runs on the simulation block while token, staking and claim are three separate broadcast transactions.

     If the claim creation is mined at or after launch (hardware-wallet signing of ~14 transactions, under-priced gas, an RPC stall, an operator pausing between dry run and --broadcast, or --resume after a gap, which does not re-run preflight), ImdoClaim's constructor reverts on launch_ < block.timestamp (src/ImdoClaim.sol:56), the nonce is consumed, and ImdoStaking.claimContract points at an address that can never receive code, so token and staking must be redeployed (docs/DEPLOYMENT.md says so).

     Lines 129 and 137 give the Permit2 allowance and modifyLiquidities a deadline of simulation block.timestamp + 1 hours, so a stall of an hour also breaks the sequence at transactions 8/9, recoverably. There is also no upper bound on launch: a value years ahead passes preflight and locks the 110M claim funding until then. Answer to the brief: the lead is sufficient for an uninterrupted broadcast and the residual is operational.

     Merged from all four specialists.

     Options: raise MIN_LAUNCH_LEAD together with the two deadlines (or derive both from c.launch), add a sanity upper bound, and state in DEPLOYMENT.md: re-simulate immediately before broadcasting and never --resume across a gap. Structural alternatives are design changes for the requester: drop the constructor's launch_ < block.timestamp check (preflight already enforces the lead) or create staking and claim from one factory in a single transaction.

     whole finding

     test/scratch/DeployLead.t.sol::test_claimMinedAfterLaunchBurnsPredictedAddress (passes; demonstrates the boundary).

     T = 1_800_000_000, launch = T + 1 hours (exactly what preflight accepts). tx1 from deployer: new IMDOToken(). tx2: new ImdoStaking(token, imd, pm, computeCreateAddress(deployer, nonce + 1), regenSafe).

     Warp to launch + 1 and send tx3: new ImdoClaim(token, staking, seatNFT, 2000, 0, launch).

     Actual: tx3 reverts InvalidConfiguration; staking.claimContract() == expectedClaim with code.length == 0; a retry with launch + 1 days lands at a different address.

     Also: ImdoDeployTest passes with c.launch = now + 100 years (no upper bound).

   • infoHook CREATE2 through the permissionless deterministic deployer can be replayed ahead of the operator: the identical hook lands first and the operator's transaction reverts, halting the broadcastscript/DeployImdo.s.sol:115

     Under broadcast this creation is a call to 0x4e59b44847b379578588920cA78FbF26c0B4956C with salt ++ initcode, visible in the mempool; the factory binds no sender, so anyone can send the same calldata first.

     The replayed hook is byte-identical (owner = c.deployer, same treasury and token), so no authority is lost, but the operator's transaction 5 then reverts (the factory reverts when CREATE2 returns zero on a collision, consuming the forwarded gas) and Foundry stops the sequence with token, staking, claim and treasury already live.

     A fresh forge script run starts over with new nonces and a new treasury address, abandoning the first four contracts; HookMiner.find (script/utils/HookMiner.sol:39) only returns salts whose address has no code, so a re-simulation silently mines the next salt and never shows the on-chain revert. Gas-only impact before any public trading. From audit_permissions; reproduced.

     Mitigation: send the sequence through a private relay/bundle, or use a sender-bound CREATE2 factory (salt prefixed with the deployer address) so a replay from another account lands elsewhere; at minimum document the recovery (the pre-landed hook is usable as-is if the operator continues the sequence manually with it).

     whole finding

     test/scratch/DeployLead.t.sol::test_hookCreate2CanBeReplayedAheadOfTheOperator (passes; demonstrates the behaviour).

     Etch the canonical deterministic-deployer runtime at 0x4e59...956C; from the deployer's pending nonce compute token = createAddress(nonce), treasury = createAddress(nonce + 3), (expectedHook, salt) = HookMiner.find(factory, 0x20cc, creationCode, abi.encode(pm, token, treasury, deployer)).

     A griefer calls the factory with salt ++ creationCode ++ args first: expectedHook has code, owner() == deployer, treasury() == the intended treasury.

     A subsequent script.run(c) deploys a hook at a different address (HookMiner skipped the occupied one) while the operator's original calldata replayed from the deployer with 3M gas fails (CREATE2 collision).
