• 1.highCDPVault.wipe: Position.excess is never released when the secured term falls by another path (a second wipe, bite, cash, cover), so a repay-a-slice, repay-the-rest, withdraw sequence strands the slicesrc/CDPVault.sol:572

              _moveExcess(position, false, repaid - Math.min(repaid, Math.mulDiv(fell, _priceOrZero(), 1e18)), 0);

  Q2 (58f73de). wipe adds to Position.excess the part of THIS repayment that its secured term did not follow down (line 571-572: repaid - min(repaid, fell x price), netted only against this call's repaid). The only releases are draw (by the amount borrowed, line 503) and free (by the term's fall, line 480-482).

  Nothing releases it when the term falls for any other reason: a later wipe whose fall exceeds its own repayment (the second repayment of a loan clears the debt and drops the term to zero, and repaid - min(repaid, fellValue) is zero, not negative), bite, cash against the position, or cover.

  A borrower whose term is collateral-bound (CR in the 170-200% band, i.e. any position that just drew at mat) repays a slice (term unchanged, excess += slice), repays the rest (term to zero, nothing released), frees everything: the slice stays in _excess with no debt and no collateral behind it, and _backingPerUnit (line 784, supply = totalSupply + _excessNow()) adds it to the denominator of BOTH the live and the lagged figure for every later redemption, halving every six hours.

  Honest two-step unwinds do this once per exit. Deliberately, a fresh helper contract per cycle (a position's own redraw would release its own excess, another position's never does) runs lock C, draw D at 170%, wipe 0.15 D, wipe the rest, free C in one transaction and repeats with the SAME collateral: each cycle strands 0.15 D for gas, zero seconds of stability fee and no seasoning (the slice is cold; wipe does not look at coldOut).

  It works above par too: a fully backed vault (OTHER 2,000 IMD against 1,000 imdUSD at $1, backing 1.0) is taken to 0.173 by ten cycles of 10,000 IMD. cash pays _backingPerUnit x (1 - fee), so the channel the design says must never halt is paid down toward nothing on demand (gemOut rounds to 0 and cash reverts ZeroAmount at a large enough excess), and the peg floor min(1 - fee, backing) collapses with it.

  Who loses: every redeemer and the peg; who gains: a candidate borrower deterring redemptions against itself, or anyone short the peg. Reachable with the constants as committed (LINE $1M bounds D per cycle, repaid inside the cycle; wage 0; no governance). The NatSpec at 775-782 ('Only that part of a repayment is kept in the supply ... lagging the whole supply instead underpaid every redeemer') does not hold: what is kept outlives the backing it was kept for.

  Call sequence from an external caller: Pump.run -> (new Cycler).run -> vault.lock(10_000e18); vault.draw(2_352e18); vault.wipe(352e18); vault.wipe(debtOf); vault.free(10_000e18), ten times in one transaction; next block HOLDER vault.cash(100e18, 0, OTHER).

  Smallest fix (no new storage): clamp position.excess to the value its term still stands behind after every priced _resecure (in _resecureBounded, when price != 0: uint256 cap = mulDiv(current, price, 1e18); if (position.excess > cap) _moveExcess(position, false, 0, position.excess - cap)), which releases it in the second wipe, bite, cash and cover in one place; or net the fall both ways in wipe (remove = fellValue > repaid ? fellValue - repaid : 0) and release by the term's fall value in bite, _redeemPosition and cover.

  The warm-only half (medium finding, line 569) bounds the gas-only pump to seasoned capital but does not close the honest stranding; both halves are needed. Fits the margin (runtime 22,780 of 24,576, initcode 46,993 of 49,152). Merged from audit_economics (high) with the same mechanism's appearance in the other specialists' NatSpec notes.

  whole finding

  test/scratch/Proof_StrandedExcess.t.sol (attached; both tests fail on this code).

  ParameterizedVault over an 18-decimal MockIMD at $1 (IMD/ETH 1/2000 times a Chainlink ETH/USD of 2000e8 etched at CHAINLINK_ETH_USD), NHI 0.85 (mat 170, gap 50), TreasuryFactory etched at TREASURY_FACTORY, Treasury empty.

  OTHER locks 2,000 and draws 1,000, hands HOLDER the 1,000; two quiet days; IMD to $0.40: backingPerUnit() == 0.8e18.

  Test 1: a Pump contract holding 10,000 IMD runs ten fresh Cycler contracts in ONE transaction (lock 10_000e18, draw 2_352e18 = 170.07%, wipe 352e18 [term stays 10,000 = min(10,000, 2 x 2,000 / 0.4)], wipe debtOf [term to 0, nothing released], free 10_000e18, collateral handed back).

  Next block: totalDebt == 1,000e18, vault IMD balance == 2,000e18, totalSupply == 1,000e18, exactly as before.

  EXPECTED: backingPerUnit() == 0.8e18 and HOLDER's cash(100e18, 0, OTHER) paid about 199e18 raw IMD.

  ACTUAL: backingPerUnit() == 177044233429577747 (800 / (1,000 + 3,518.6 of excess)) and the redemption paid 42048005439524714750 raw IMD.

  Test 2 (honest, one EOA, three transactions): lock 10_000e18 + draw 2_352e18; wipe 352e18; wipe debtOf + free 10_000e18; positions(NEW) == (0, 0).

  EXPECTED backingPerUnit() == 0.8e18.

  ACTUAL 591715976331360946 (352 stranded).

  Above par (test/scratch/Leads.t.sol test_strandedExcessAbovePar): the same book at $1, backing 1e18, ten cycles of draw 5_882 / wipe 882: ACTUAL backingPerUnit() == 173175974064472438 with 8,816 of excess against a 1,000 supply.

  whole proof

• 2.mediumCDPVault.wipe measures the term's fall against the term as last written, so a lock one transaction earlier (a cold rise toward the debt bound) absorbs the repayment's fall and nothing is kept in the ssrc/CDPVault.sol:571

              uint256 fell = termBefore > position.secured ? termBefore - position.secured : 0;

  Q2 (58f73de regressed by ordering). The term is min(collateral, 2 x principal / price). A borrower whose term is its whole collateral (170-200% band) first locks E so the term rises toward the debt bound (the rise is cold in _lag; lock needs no feed).

  Its wipe of W then re-secures to min(C + E, 2 (P - W) / price): the term falls by at least W in value once E is large enough, so line 572 adds repaid - min(repaid, fellValue) == 0 to the excess. _lag takes that fall out of the position's own cold first (the lock's rise), so the LAGGED secured figure does not move either, while the lagged debt falls by W (warm principal).

  The redemption in between is paid V / (S - W) instead of V / S, live and lagged alike; the borrower then frees E (the term is debt-bound, so the free moves nothing and releases nothing) and redraws W. The position ends exactly where a direct wipe of W leaves it, but with Position.excess == 0 where the direct wipe records W.

  The committed fix works for the plain wipe / cash / draw order (verified: a direct wipe one transaction before the same cash pays the honest figure) and not for this one. Reachable with the constants as committed, below par only (the figure is capped at 1e18), as five separate transactions in ONE block (cooling at elapsed 0 is identity), for gas and E held for two transactions; also through lockIMD.

  Bound: W up to 15% of the churner's principal at mat 170 (25% at 150%, since wipe has no health check), premium (S - fresh) / (S - fresh - W), paid out of the Treasury's reserve (reserve-funded cash) or the other holders' backing (position-funded). Comments at 564-568 and 776-782 ('a repayment, a redemption and a redraw in three transactions pay the redemption no premium', 'nor one a TRANSACTION earlier') do not hold.

  Call sequence: BORROWER lock(540e18); wipe(140e18); cash(500e18, 0, BORROWER); free(540e18); draw(140e18).

  Smallest fix: measure the fall against the WARM term only: have _resecureBounded keep the cold part of the secured decrease that _lag already returns (coldFall = _lag(position, true, before, current), in a private storage word or a return value threaded through _reduceDebt), and in wipe use fell -= min(fell, coldFall) before valuing it.

  A lock-then-wipe then keeps W exactly as a direct wipe does; the committed test/retry-panel/AdjacentTxBurn.t.sol tests are unaffected. Distinct from the free / lock finding (line 481): that one restores the term WARM from the secured bank after the excess was released; this one never records the excess. From audit_flow (medium).

  whole finding

  test/scratch/Proof_LockThenWipe.t.sol (attached; fails on this code).

  ParameterizedVault over MockIMD at $1 (Chainlink 2000e8 etched), NHI 0.85 (mat 170, gap 50), launch constants, Treasury empty.

  BORROWER lock(5_790e18) draw(1_000e18); OTHER lock(5_100e18) draw(3_000e18) and hands BORROWER the 3,000 imdUSD; IMD to $0.294 (BORROWER 170.2%, OTHER 50%); both lock(1); three quiet days; backingPerUnit() == 0.8004e18.

  Honest reference (snapshot, reverted): BORROWER cash(500e18, 0, BORROWER) pays 1293187500000000000000 raw IMD; a direct wipe(140e18) one transaction before the same cash pays the same 1293187500000000000000 (the committed fix holds for that order).

  Churn, five transactions, no time passing: lock(540e18); wipe(140e18) [excessNow() == 0 afterwards]; cash(500e18, 0, BORROWER); free(540e18); draw(140e18).

  EXPECTED: payout <= 1294480687500000000000 (honest + 0.1%).

  ACTUAL: 1339963990912350394557 (+3.6%).

• 3.mediumCDPVault.free releases Position.excess by the term's fall while _lag banks that same fall warm, so a lock one transaction later restores the term warm from bankSecured with no excess behind it: wipe, src/CDPVault.sol:481

              _moveExcess(position, false, 0, Math.mulDiv(termBefore - position.secured, price, 1e18));

  Q2 (58f73de) and Q3 (the secured bank). wipe keeps in Position.excess the principal repaid that the term did not follow (a position in the 170-200% band). free then releases the excess by the term's fall at the current price (line 481, 'The backing a repayment left behind has now left too').

  But that term decrease was just banked WARM by _lag inside _resecure (position.bankSecured, bank += out - coldOut), and lock / lockIMD credit a term increase from that bank with no _moveExcess of their own.

  So, in separate transactions: wipe W (term unchanged, excess W); free collateral worth at least W (excess released to zero, the fall banked); lock the same collateral back (the term is back and reads warm in laggedNow, excess still zero); cash against any candidate or the reserve (paid against supply - W with the backing unchanged, live and lagged); draw W. The vault ends where it began and the redemption was paid the premium (S - fresh) / (S - fresh - W).

  Cost: gas and five transactions (or four: wipe + free in one call), no seasoned capital beyond what the churner holds; below par only; W bounded by the churner's band slack (up to 15% of its principal at 170%).

  Who loses: the Treasury's sIMD reserve or the candidate's collateral, and every other holder's backing, per redemption, repeatable. Reachable with the constants as committed, wage 0, no governance. Comments that do not hold: 479, 565-567, 776-782.

  Call sequence: CHURNER wipe(W); free(W / price); lock(W / price); anyone cash(amount, 0, candidate); CHURNER draw(W).

  Smallest fix, two options: (a) in _lag's secured increase branch, when credit != 0 re-add to the position's excess min(credit x price, what free released from it), which needs the released amount kept per position (a uint128 cooled like the others); or (b) no new storage: do not release the excess in free at all, letting only draw (the supply returning) and time (the six-hour half-life) release it, accepting that an honest repay-and-withdraw leaves its excess to decay for a few hours (redeemers are then paid the pre-repayment figure, the direction 58f73de already chose for the repayment itself); (b) removes lines 476-482's termBefore / price locals and shrinks the contract.

  Note (b) must be combined with the release-on-fall fix of the high finding (line 572) in a form that does not reopen this path: clamping the excess to the term's value releases it in free again, so the clamp should skip (or the bank should forget) the part of the fall a free caused, e.g. reduce position.bankSecured by the IMD whose excess release it credited. Merged from audit_permissions (medium) and audit_math (medium), both reproduced.

• 4.mediumCDPVault._cool / _lag: after a quiet day the vault's cold totals (and _excess, _feeExcess) read zero while each position's own cold keeps cooling, so the next position's cold is put into a total an olsrc/CDPVault.sol:1038

          if (elapsed >= (up ? BACKING_WARMUP : 256 * BACKING_HALF_LIFE)) return 0;

  Q4 (d7fceab, the fix for retry2 low #7), Q1 and Q3. A position's own figures cool without the quiet-day cutoff (_cool(..., up = false) runs to 256 half-lives) while the vault totals _coldDebt / _coldSecured / _excess / _feeExcess still read zero once block.timestamp - _coldAt >= BACKING_WARMUP (line 1038, up = true).

  The NatSpec at 1033-1035 says the total is then below the sum 'and every subtraction from it saturates'; that holds only until another position adds cold.

  OLD draws D; nobody calls _lag for a day (lock, free with a term change, draw, wipe, bite, cover, cash all do: a quiet night at launch); NEW draws E (_lag cools the totals to zero, then adds E: the totals hold exactly NEW's cold); OLD repays D: its own cold is D / 16, coldOut = min(D / 16, D), and total = total - coldOut (line 1002) takes D / 16 out of NEW's E.

  With D >= 16 E, NEW's one-second-old principal and term read fully warm in laggedNow: the lagged _backingPerUnit counts them (overpaying redeemers below par: D1's borrow / redeem / repay / withdraw round trip in miniature, OLD and NEW may be the same actor), _feeBase no longer subtracts E (the retry2 medium #3 dilution by a new path), and once a wage is set ParameterizedVault.backedDebt counts E for the work ceiling.

  The same for _excess (an old position's draw releases its orphaned excess from the total that holds only newer repayments: supply understated, backing overstated) and _feeExcess. Bounded by 1 / 16 of the old position's capital per quiet day, which is why this is medium and not the high the retry panel gave the unbounded version. Reachable with the constants as committed.

  Comments that claim the property the code does not have: CDPVault 322-323 and 1033-1035, ParameterizedVault 239-240.

  Call sequence: OLD lock, draw(D); warp 1 day + 1; NEW lock, draw(E); OLD wipe(D).

  Smallest fix: cool the vault totals _coldDebt, _coldSecured, _excess and _feeExcess without the BACKING_WARMUP cutoff, exactly as the positions are cooled (keep rounding up; keep the cutoff for the per-position banks, where it is harmless): the totals are then at least the sum of the positions always, up to _pow's rounding, and a decrease never removes more than the position put there. _pow over a long gap is at most about 27 squarings.

  'A quiet day credits in full' (line 318-319) becomes 'a quiet day credits 15 / 16', the honest figure. From audit_math (medium), reproduced.

• 5.mediumCDPVault.wipe adds the whole repaid principal to Position.excess, cold or warm, so a cold draw-and-repay by a position in the 170-200% band leaves phantom supply in the backing denominator for hours: src/CDPVault.sol:569

          uint256 repaid = principalBefore - position.debt;

  Q2 (58f73de: 'inflated', 'an honest repay-and-withdraw is not underpaid'). _reduceDebt adds only the WARM part of a repayment to feeExcess (principalPaid - coldOut, line 1402), because principal that was never warm was never in the lagged supply. wipe has no such distinction: line 569-572 adds repaid - min(repaid, fell x price) to excess where repaid is the whole principal retired.

  A position whose term is its collateral draws D (cold: _lag adds D to its cold and to _coldDebt; the term does not move while collateral-bound) and repays D in the next transaction or the same one: _lag retires the D of cold (coldOut = D), the term still does not move, and excess gains D.

  The vault is exactly where it was (same debt, collateral, live supply, cold) but _backingPerUnit measures backing against live + D for the next hours (half after six) in BOTH figures: the live one (B / (S + D)) and the lagged one (B_w / (S + D - fresh), whose denominator the cold principal had already left, so the burn should have been neutral).

  Every redemption below par is paid D / S less; a candidate gives up D / S less collateral per imdUSD cancelled against it (2.8% in the proof at 191%).

  D is bounded by the position's draw room above mat (up to 17.6% of its principal at 200%), re-armed every block for gas (the draw releases the excess, the wipe re-adds it, so it does not stack but never ages), no seasoned capital beyond the position; a dominant borrower ($1M line) can hold a discount of ~15% of its principal over the supply through a crash, when redemptions defend the peg. Honest newcomers cause it too (a 170% loan repaid in part the same day).

  Reachable with the constants as committed, wage 0, below par only. The NatSpec at 773-774 ('honest redemptions are not underpaid') does not hold here.

  Call sequence: BORROWER draw(D); wipe(D); REDEEMER cash(amount, 0, BORROWER).

  Smallest fix: base the excess on the warm part of the repayment only, as _reduceDebt already does for feeExcess: have _reduceDebt return coldOut (it already computes it) and in wipe use warm = principalPaid - coldOut; add = warm > fellValue ? warm - fellValue : 0. The committed test/retry-panel/AdjacentTxBurn.t.sol (a warm 140 in the band) is unchanged by it.

• 6.lowThe cost of the accepted fee-base trade-off is understated: a dust (same block) or 5 imdUSD (12 s later) reserve-funded redemption after a large draw STORES the 4.5% cap as redemptionBaseRate, which dsrc/CDPVault.sol:908

          uint256 increase = amount == 0 ? 0 : prior == 0 ? cap : Math.mulDiv(amount, 1e18, prior) / redemptionDivisor();

  Q1, the cost of the accepted trade-off (retry2 #3). The accepted reason is right: new supply must not dilute the fee, so _feeBase is the warm supply and, while most supply is cold, a redemption pays up to the cap.

  The stated cost ('early redemptions, and those right after a large draw, pay more') describes the QUOTE and not the STORED rate. _redemptionRate turns a zero base into cap for any nonzero amount (line 908), and a tiny base into the cap for a few imdUSD; cash stores base unchanged when the burn has no fresh part (line 747), which every reserve-funded burn lacks (principalCancelled = 0, so freshCancelled = 0).

  The stored rate decays at REDEMPTION_SECOND_DECAY (twelve-hour half-life) while the cold principal that made the base small warms at BACKING_HALF_LIFE (six hours): when 7 / 8 of the supply is warm (18 h) the honest increase for a 1 imdUSD burn is under a basis point and the quote is 210; 163 at 24 h, 79 at 48 h.

  The peg floor min(1 - fee, backing) is 0.955 at launch and stays about 0.979-0.984 through the second day because of the pin, where without it the fee would already be at the floor.

  The candidate route does not pin (a fresh candidate's principal is freshCancelled, so the stored rate is _redemptionRate(amount - freshCancelled), about zero), the reserve route does, and anyone can open the reserve route by transferring a few IMD to the Treasury (redemptionReserve is gem.balanceOf(treasury), listed or not; the runbook also seeds it and the first liquidation's bonus share lands there).

  Cost to the pinner: 1e-12 imdUSD in the draw's block, or 5 imdUSD at 5% twelve seconds later, plus a 6 IMD donation it redeems back, and gas. Not an attack on funds; a quantified launch cost the resolution did not state, repeatable whenever the warm supply is small (launch, or after the warm supply turns over). Reachable with the constants as committed.

  Call sequence: P lock, draw(100_000e18); R transfers 6 IMD to vault.treasury(); R cash(5e18, 0, address(0)).

  Smallest fix: store the increase measured against max(prior, live supply / 2) (or against the live supply less this transaction's mints) while still CHARGING the redeemer against prior; or, when prior == 0, keep the decayed rate instead of storing the cap; or bound the stored increase by min(cap, amount / live / divisor) so dust can never store the cap. Or document the number in docs/MAINNET-RUNBOOK.md and open redemptions a day after the first draws.

• 7.lowCDPVault.wipe: a full repayment of an underwater position adds its shortfall (debt minus collateral value) to Position.excess although the position then owes nothing and its term is zero, so retired usrc/CDPVault.sol:570

          if (repaid != 0) {

  Q2 ('inflated'). The excess is repaid - min(repaid, fell x price): the principal whose backing did not follow it out. For a position below 100% that repays everything, the term (its whole collateral) falls to zero, fell x price is the collateral's value, and the difference debt - collateral value is credited as 'backing left behind' although no backing is left.

  The supply backing is measured against is overstated by the shortfall for the next hours (half after six) in both the live and the lagged figure, so every redemption pays less than the honest pro-rata figure. The same happens in the outage case the comment at 565-568 accepts, where a full repayment keeps the whole repaid amount (low finding, line 568).

  Safe for the protocol, costly for redeemers in exactly the crash in which an underwater borrower repaying in full is the behaviour the protocol wants; it needs a borrower who repays more than its collateral is worth, which bounds the severity. Reachable with the constants as committed.

  Call sequence: P wipe(debtOf(P)) with P below 100%; R cash(amount, 0, Q).

  Smallest fix: cap the excess at the backing that remains, min(repaid - fellValue, position.secured x price / 1e18), which is zero when the position owes nothing and leaves the 170-200% case (term unchanged, excess = repaid) exactly as it is; the clamp proposed for the high finding (line 572) does the same in one place.

• 8.lowA wipe while the collateral price is unreadable scales the secured term down in proportion AND keeps the whole repayment as excess, so backing per imdUSD read after the outage is double-discounted forsrc/CDPVault.sol:568

          // values the term's fall at nothing, the safe direction.

  Q2 ('free releases it by the term's fall at a price that may be unreadable': free with debt is feed-gated and with no debt the term is zero before and after, so that release is never at price zero; wipe is the ungated path).

  When _priceOrZero() is 0 (UsdPriceFeed returns (0, 0) for a missing, non-positive, oversized or malformed Chainlink answer; SharePriceFeed for a share vault that stops answering) _reduceDebt already scales the term by debtAfter / debtBefore through unpricedCap (line 1409-1410, the sweep panel fix), so the backing followed the repayment down. wipe then values that fall at price 0 and adds the WHOLE repayment to Position.excess (line 572).

  Both halves of the same repayment are discounted: the numerator lost term x W / P and the denominator kept W.

  The comment at 567-568 calls this 'the safe direction'; it is a 30% underpayment in the reproduction, lasting until the position is touched again or the excess cools. cash is halted during the outage (stale feeds), so the harm lands on the first redemptions after it ends, reserve- and position-funded alike; a candidate benefits (its debt is cancelled for less collateral) and can cause it deliberately.

• 9.lowCDPVault._lag releases feeExcess by any bank credit, and the debt bank is also filled by a redemption's cancellation, so a redraw after a redemption against the position releases warm repaid principalsrc/CDPVault.sol:1011

                  if (!secured && position.feeExcess != 0) _moveExcess(position, true, 0, credit);

  Q1 ('the release cannot be triggered by capital that was never repaid'). feeExcess is filled only by repayments (_reduceDebt with repayment == true: wipe, bite, cover) and released by the bank credit on a debt increase (line 1011). The debt bank (bankDebt) is filled by EVERY warm decrease (line 1003), including a redemption's cancellation (_redeemPosition calls _reduceDebt(..., false), which adds nothing to feeExcess but still banks the warm principal).

  A position that wiped W warm (feeExcess W, bank W), is then redeemed against for R (bank W + R, feeExcess W, base down by R: correct, the burn counts at once) and draws R back (credit R from the bank) has its feeExcess cut to W - R although the R that came back is new live supply and the W repaid has not returned: the base reads supply + W - R where the design's figure is supply + W.

  Direction: the fee is HIGHER than designed for the next hours, by R / base; each R costs the redemption fee on R, the same cost as the honest burn whose effect it duplicates, so this is an accuracy defect in the fee base, not a cheaper pin. The NatSpec at 64-66 and 1009-1011 ('released as this position borrows back from its bank', 'the supply its repayment took away, returning') is true of the mechanism but the bank is not only repaid principal.

  Reachable with the constants as committed.

  Smallest fix: keep the part of the bank that came from repayments separately (a second uint128 per position) and release feeExcess by min(credit, that part); or, cheaper in bytes, do not bank a redemption's cancellation at all (pass repayment into _lag and skip bank += out - coldOut when false), which also removes the redeemed-then-redrawn warmth the backing lag credits today.

• 10.lowCDPVault.wipe: the term's fall is measured against position.secured as last priced, so after a price fall the upward re-pricing of a debt-bound term masks the fall the repayment causes and the whole rsrc/CDPVault.sol:562

          (uint256 principalBefore, uint256 termBefore) = (position.debt, position.secured);

  Q2 (58f73de) and the accepted item retry2 #6. termBefore is the term as of the position's LAST touch, at that touch's price.

  For a position above 200% the term is debt-bound (2 x principal / price), so a price fall makes the honest term larger in IMD. wipe compares the new term, priced today with the smaller principal, against the stale smaller one: fell reads 0 whenever the re-pricing rise outweighs the repayment's fall, and line 572 keeps the WHOLE repayment as excess although 2 x repaid of backing value left the term with it.

  This is the ordinary flow of a drawdown (the price falls, borrowers above 200% repay to stay clear of mat), and each such repayment inflates the supply _backingPerUnit measures against, so redemptions are paid less for the next hours.

  It is a second consequence of reading the re-priced rise as cold (accepted #6): in the lag's own view the warm term did not fall, so keeping the repayment is consistent with it, and the control that re-prices first lets the fall come out of the cold instead.

  The accepted item's stated reason (the safe direction, it can only underpay a redemption) therefore still holds; what the resolution did not state is that the underpayment also enters through the excess and lasts hours rather than one touch. Severity low for that reason (audit_economics rated it medium). Reachable with the constants as committed, below par.

  Call sequence after a price fall, as the position's first touch: NEW wipe(200e18); anyone cash(...). Smallest fix, if the cost is not accepted: re-price before measuring, _resecure(position, price) at the top of wipe when price != 0, so termBefore is today's term (the rise is then a separate cold _lag event and the subsequent fall takes that cold first).

  Note that the fix proposed for the lock-then-wipe finding (line 571: net the fall against its cold part) would leave this case where it is, since the fall would then be all cold; the two must be decided together.

  Read bite: line 1189 if (!mark.marked) revert PositionNotMarked(); precedes line 1214 unconditionally, so the ternary's second arm is unreachable. test/Cover.t.sol test_aReLockAfterTheDrainsMarkLapsedNeedsANewMarkAndGrace pins the new behaviour (a re-lock needs a mark).

  CLAIMS WITHOUT THE PROPERTY.

  1. CDPVault 1014-1015, 'past 128 bits of raw units ... a position's excess over that counts as warm': total += after_ - before - credit (line 1008) is uncapped while only the position's cold is capped (line 1016), so the surplus is COLD in laggedNow and, since the position's capped coldOut can never retire it, stays orphaned in the total until a quiet day: the opposite of the comment, the safe direction, unreachable at sIMD's supply (2^128 raw units is 3.4e14 sIMD). The retry2 panel listed this (its #10, item 6) and the resolution says every listed comment was rewritten; this one was not.
  2. CDPVault 322-323 and 1033-1035, ParameterizedVault 239-240, 'what one position removes can never warm what another adds, in either order' / 'every subtraction from it saturates': false after a quiet day (medium, line 1038).
  3. CDPVault 479, 564-568 and 776-782: 'The backing a repayment left behind has now left too', 'a repayment, a redemption and a redraw in three transactions pay the redemption no premium', 'nor one a TRANSACTION earlier': false through lock / wipe / cash (medium, line 571) and wipe / free / lock / cash (medium, line 481); and 'a repayment earlier in the same call does not shrink it' is literally no longer true since d7fceab deleted the start-of-transaction supply floor (58f73de's if (start > supply) supply = start): a same-call repayment of a debt-bound position shrinks the supply by the part its term followed down, harmlessly, since the backing counted falls by twice that.
  4. CDPVault 773-774, 'honest redemptions are not underpaid': a cold draw-and-repay (medium, line 569), an honest two-step unwind (high, line 572), an underwater full repayment (low, line 570) and an outage repayment (low, line 568) all underpay them for hours; 780-782 'Only that part of a repayment is kept in the supply': what is kept outlives the backing it was kept for.
  5. CDPVault 61-62, Position.excess is 'principal this position repaid that its secured term did not follow down': added for a COLD repayment too, and for a repayment the re-pricing masked (low, line 562).
  6. CDPVault 64-66 and 1009-1011, feeExcess 'released as this position borrows back from its bank': the bank also holds a redemption's cancellation (low, line 1011).
  7. CDPVault 53-55, the bank 'may come back warm within BACKING_WARMUP of the bank's own date, the moment it last went from empty to full': describes 24337a2; since d7fceab the bank cools continuously and is re-dated at every touch of its side (1019 / 1023).
  8. CDPVault 1053-1062 and the retry2 #3 resolution, 'early redemptions ... pay more': the quote; a reserve-funded burn also STORES the cap (low, line 908).
  9. CDPVault 746, 'The fresh part of the burn ... does not move the rate everyone else pays': the non-fresh part moves it less than the pre-state base says (info, line 747).
  10. CDPVault 1213-1214: dead branch (info).
  11. CDPVault 584-586 and 672-679, 'holding cover off costs the griefer the whole re-lock every time': only while the Treasury holds imdUSD worth the re-lock; with less, cover reverts (CoverBelowCollateralValue, or the burn fails) and the re-lock waits for bark, grace and bite, at a 20% loss to the griefer per cycle (verified in test/scratch/Cover.t.sol: a drained position with 291.7 of recorded bad debt re-locks collateral worth 175 while the Treasury holds 0.03 imdUSD; cover(B, 1e18) reverts CoverBelowCollateralValue, cover(B, value + 1) reverts in the burn; bark, six hours, bite(B, 1e18) proceeds and totalBadDebt moves 291.697 -> 290.706 with the record).
  12. ParameterizedVault 241-243, 'the cost of it is real capital at risk in an open position, not gas': true of the work ceiling's slow round trip; for the redemption half the churns above cost gas. ANSWERS WHERE NOTHING IS WRONG. Q1: no sequence without seasoned capital moves the fee base BELOW the honest warm supply more cheaply than the honest burn: a cold draw and repayment nets to zero (coldOu

   The review is complete. The findings file holds four entries, all reproduced on the pinned commit; no tracked file was changed (test/scratch is git-ignored).

   Findings

   • Medium, src/CDPVault.sol:571 (wipe). 58f73de is bypassed by a lock before the wipe. The lock raises the term toward its debt bound and that rise is cold. The wipe's fall then comes out of that cold part, so nothing is kept as excess, the lagged secured figure does not move, and the lagged debt falls by the repayment. Lock 540, wipe 140, cash 500, free 540, draw 140 as five transactions in one block pays 1339.96 IMD where the honest and direct-wipe routes pay 1294.48 (+3.5%). The reserve-funded variant takes the same premium from the Treasury. Proof attached; it fails now and passes once wipe values only the warm part of the term fall (I validated that patch locally and reverted it).
   • Low, src/CDPVault.sol:572. A wipe while the collateral price is unreadable scales the term in proportion and also keeps the whole repayment as excess. After the outage the book that reads 1.00 with a priced wipe reads 0.70.
   • Low, src/CDPVault.sol:1011. The fee excess is released by any bank credit, and the bank is filled by redemptions too. Cash 20 against self, wipe 500, draw 20 leaves the base at 980 instead of 996.5. Bounded by the redemption fee, so an accounting gap rather than a cheaper pin.
   • Info, src/CDPVault.sol:1214. The unmarked-position marker fallback is dead code after d7fceab, plus four stale NatSpec claims (listed in the entry).

   Answers to the six questions

   1. Fee base. Holds except the low above. A cold draw, a cold repayment, a redemption's burn and a work mint in the call all net to zero against the base. The trade-off's stated reason is correct. Its cost at launch: while every unit is cold the base is 0, so the first redemption of any size quotes the cap and stores it as the base rate for everyone for a twelve-hour half-life, and the peg floor sits at 0.95 for about a day. A reserve-funded redemption at launch can also push the base to 0 because cold principal exceeds the remaining supply.
   2. Supply kept for backing. Broken across transactions by the medium above. The excess cannot be released by another position, cannot exceed cumulative repayment, and cools away rather than stranding. Free at an unreadable price is unreachable with debt (fresh feeds required) and moot without it (term is zero). The outage wipe is the low above.
   3. Banks that cool. Holds. A bank decays as one multiplicative factor whatever the visit pattern, a credit is bounded by the warm part that left, and the sides share only the cooling clock.
   4. Cold per position. The retry2 answers still hold. Totals stay at least the sum of positions up to rounding, and laggedNow exceeds honest warm-up only through the accepted quiet-day rule.
   5. Drained positions. A drained borrower cannot be bitten (nothing to seize) and cover handles it. A re-lock below the record is taken at value with no penalty; one at or above the record goes through bark, grace and bite as before d7fceab. The bad-debt record and totalBadDebt stay consistent through bite, cover, cash and wipe. Cover can be front-run with lock(1) to force CoverBelowCollateralValue, but passing the full record as amount defeats it.
   6. Size and regressions. Runtime 22,780 and initcode 46,993 as stated. No regression found in the fresh-debt record, the wage gate, positions, the stability fee, price gating or arithmetic. Committed redemption, cover, lag, liquidation and panel suites pass (141 tests).

   • medium58f73de regressed by a lock before the wipe: the lock's cold term increase absorbs the repayment's term fall, so the repayment is not kept in the supply and lock, wipe, cash, free, draw pays the redemsrc/CDPVault.sol:571

     CDPVault.wipe measures the 'backing left behind' as the repayment less the fall of the secured term INSIDE the wipe call, valued at the current price (lines 571-572). The term is min(collateral, 2 x principal / price). A borrower whose term is its whole collateral (the 170-200% band) first locks collateral E (any amount from about 60 raw units up; no feed is needed for lock) so that its term rises toward the debt bound: the rise is cold (_lag).

     The wipe of W then lowers the debt bound by 2W/price and the term falls by (C + E) - 2(P - W)/price, which is at least W in value once E is large enough, so excess += 0: nothing is kept in the supply. _lag takes that fall out of the position's cold first (the lock's own increase), so the LAGGED secured figure does not move either, while the lagged debt falls by W (the principal was warm).

     The borrower then frees E (the term is now debt-bound, so the free moves nothing and releases nothing) and redraws W.

     The position ends in exactly the state a direct wipe of W leaves (same collateral, debt and term) but with Position.excess == 0 where the direct wipe records W; the redemption in between was paid V/(S - W) instead of V/S, the premium the retry panel's medium #4 described and 58f73de claims to close ('a repayment, a redemption and a redraw in three transactions pay the redemption no premium', lines 564-568 and 776-782).

     Reachable with the constants as committed, below par only (the figure is capped at 1e18), as five separate transactions in ONE block (no time has to pass: the lag's cooling at elapsed 0 is identity, and the lock's cold is simply removed again by the wipe).

     Cost: gas and E held for the length of two transactions; E can be freed right after the cash.

     Bound: the premium is (S - fresh) / (S - fresh - W) with W up to 15% of the churner's principal at mat 170 (25% at 150%, since wipe has no health check), i.e. up to 17.6% for a churner that is the whole warm supply, paid out of the Treasury's reserve (reserve-funded cash) or out of the other holders' backing (position-funded). Also reachable through lockIMD.

     Smallest fix: measure the fall against the WARM term only: have _resecureBounded return the cold part of the secured decrease that _lag already returns (coldFall = _lag(position, true, before, current)), keep it from the _reduceDebt call (a private storage word or a return value), and in wipe use fell -= min(fell, coldFall) before valuing it.

     A lock-then-wipe then keeps W in the supply exactly as a direct wipe does; the attached proof passes with that patch (both tests), and the committed test/retry-panel/AdjacentTxBurn.t.sol tests are unaffected by it.

     ParameterizedVault over MockIMD at $1 (IMD/ETH 1/2000, Chainlink ETH/USD 2000e8 etched), NHI 0.85 (mat 170, gap 50), launch constants.

     BORROWER lock(5_790e18) draw(1_000e18); OTHER lock(5_100e18) draw(3_000e18) and hands BORROWER the 3,000 imdUSD; price to $0.294 (BORROWER 170.2%, OTHER 50%); both lock(1); three quiet days. backingPerUnit() == 0.8004e18.

     Honest reference (snapshot): BORROWER cash(500e18, 0, BORROWER) pays 1294480687500000000000 raw IMD; a direct wipe(140e18) one transaction before the same cash pays the same (the 140 is kept in the supply: the committed fix works for that order).

     Churn, five separate transactions, no time passing: BORROWER lock(540e18); wipe(140e18); cash(500e18, 0, BORROWER); free(540e18); draw(140e18).

     Position afterwards: collateral 5_790e18 + 1 - payout, debt ~500e18, i.e. the state the direct route leaves.

   • lowA wipe while the collateral price is unreadable scales the secured term down in proportion AND keeps the whole repayment as excess, so the backing per imdUSD read after the outage is double-discountedsrc/CDPVault.sol:572

     When _priceOrZero() is 0 (UsdPriceFeed returns (0,0) for a missing, non-positive or malformed Chainlink answer; SharePriceFeed for a share vault that stops answering) _reduceDebt already scales the term by debtAfter/debtBefore through unpricedCap (line 1409-1410: the sweep panel fix), so the backing followed the repayment down for every position at or above 100%. wipe then values that fall at price 0 and adds the WHOLE repayment to Position.excess (line 572), keeping it in the supply as well.

     Both halves of the same repayment are discounted: the numerator lost term x W/P and the denominator kept W.

     The comment at 566-568 calls this 'the safe direction'; it is a 30% underpayment in the reproduction, which lasts until the position is touched again (re-priced) or the excess cools (six-hour half-life), i.e. for hours after Chainlink answers again. cash is halted during the outage (fresh feeds), so the harm lands on the first redemptions after it ends: reserve-funded redemptions and position-funded ones are paid the double-discounted figure (a candidate benefits: its debt is cancelled for less collateral).

     An honest borrower repaying during an outage causes it; a candidate can also cause it deliberately to deter redemptions against itself while the outage lasts. Needs an ETH/USD outage (ETH_USD_MAX_AGE is 2 hours, and a stale-but-positive answer does NOT read as zero: latestValue only returns 0 for a missing/invalid answer), so it is a reachable but infrequent state with the constants as committed.

     Smallest fix: when the price is unreadable, add nothing to the excess for the part the proportional scaling already took: repaid - min(repaid, mulDiv(fell, price, 1e18)) only when price != 0, else 0 (the term has been scaled by exactly repaid / principalBefore, which is the backing following the repayment for any position whose term covered its debt); or keep the term unscaled and the excess whole, but not both.

   • lowThe fee excess is released by a bank credit the position earned from a REDEMPTION against it, not from a repayment: cash against self, wipe, draw leaves the fee base below the honest warm supply by thsrc/CDPVault.sol:1011

     _lag banks the warm part of EVERY principal decrease (wipe, bite, cover and cash alike, line 1003), but only a repayment adds to Position.feeExcess (_reduceDebt with repayment == true). On the next draw, credit is taken from the whole bank and the same amount is released from feeExcess (line 1011).

     So principal cancelled by a redemption against the position, which the fee base already counted at once at the burn, releases feeExcess a second time when the position borrows it back: the fee base ends below the honest warm supply by the redeemed amount, and the NatSpec at lines 64-66 and 1009-1011 ('released as this position borrows back from its bank', 'the supply its repayment took away, returning') does not hold.

     Q1's claim 'the release cannot be triggered by capital that was never repaid' fails by the redeemed amount. Harm bounded by the redemption fee the attacker pays on R (0.5% floor, the cap at 9% of the warm supply), which is the designed cost of moving the fee base by R, so this is an accounting defect rather than a cheaper pin: it lets the base stay R lower while the attacker holds the R again. Reachable with the constants as committed.

     Smallest fix: keep the fee release tied to repayments, e.g. release min(credit, feeExcess) only from the part of the bank that repayments filled (a second uint128 per position), or do not bank a redemption's cancelled principal (pass repayment into _lag and skip bank += out - coldOut when false, which also removes the redeemed-then-redrawn warmth that the backing lag credits today).

   Findings (all in src/CDPVault.sol, all reachable with the constants as committed)

   • High, wipe line 572. Position.excess is never released when the secured term later falls by any path other than draw or free. A borrower who repays a slice at 170–200% (term unchanged, slice kept as excess), repays the rest (term falls to zero, nothing released) and withdraws leaves the slice in _excess, which both backing figures add to the supply. A fresh position per cycle makes this a gas-only, unbounded pump with the same collateral reused. Proof attached: ten cycles with 10,000 IMD against a 1,000 imdUSD supply take backingPerUnit from 0.8 to 0.177, and a 100 imdUSD redemption pays 42 IMD instead of 199. One honest borrower's three-transaction unwind alone takes it to 0.59.
   • Medium, wipe line 569. A repayment of cold principal is added to the excess in full. The lagged figure never counted that principal, so its denominator grows with nothing in the numerator: a new borrower's partial repayment drops backing from 0.80 to 0.59 for hours. The fee base already uses the warm part only.
   • Medium, wipe line 562. The term's fall is measured against the term as last priced. After a price fall, a debt-bound term re-prices upward, masking the fall the repayment causes, so the whole repayment is kept as excess. Same repayment reads 0.889 when re-priced first and 0.800 as the first touch after the fall. This is the ordinary flow of a drawdown.
   • Low, wipe line 568. With the price unreadable the term's fall is valued at zero, so a repayment during a Chainlink or share-vault outage records its whole principal as excess, and a full unwind cannot release it after recovery. Backing 0.8 to 0.267 in the reproduction.
   • Info, _lag line 1015. The 128-bit saturation comment claims the opposite of the code. The retry2 resolution listed this line as rewritten. The entry also inventories the other comments refuted above and the dead branch at 1213.

   Where nothing is wrong. The per-position fee base holds: cold principal and same-transaction work mints are out, a redemption adds nothing, release needs a bank credit, and a redraw after a redemption releasing feeExcess nets correctly under the design's own rule. Banks cool exactly at the half-life with re-dating, and I checked a visit every six hours credits only honest cooling plus the warming earned while present. The two sides stay separate. Cold per position holds, with the documented quiet-day exception. Bite now always needs a mark, cover takes a sub-record re-lock at par, and the bad-debt record stays consistent through both. The accepted items stand: the price-fall cold term only underpays, and the launch trade-off's stated reason is right. Its cost is that a redemption in the first block pins the stored base rate at the cap for a day, and early redemptions pay 5% while the supply warms. Sizes match the stated figures.

   • highCDPVault.wipe: Position.excess is never released when the secured term later falls by another path, so a repay-a-slice, repay-the-rest, withdraw sequence strands the slice in _excess; fresh positions src/CDPVault.sol:572

     Q2 (58f73de). wipe adds to Position.excess the part of THIS repayment that its term did not follow down (line 571-572), and the only releases are draw (by the amount borrowed, line 503) and free (by the term's fall, line 480-482).

     Nothing releases it when the term falls for any other reason: a later wipe whose fall exceeds its own repayment (the common case: the second repayment of a loan clears the debt and drops the term to zero, line 571 nets the fall only against that call's repaid), bite, cash against the position, or cover.

     So a borrower who repays a slice while its term is collateral-bound (CR in the 170-200% band, any position that just drew at mat), then repays the rest and withdraws, leaves the slice in _excess with no collateral and no debt behind it, and _backingPerUnit (line 784) adds it to the supply for every later redemption, halving every six hours. Honest flows do this (the reproduction's third test: one borrower, three transactions, backing 0.8 -> 0.59).

     Deliberately it is a gas-only, unbounded attack on the redemption channel: a fresh position per cycle (a new helper contract or EOA, since a position's own redraw would release its own excess) does lock C, draw D at 170%, wipe 0.15 D, wipe the rest, free C, in one transaction, repeated: each cycle strands 0.15 D (8.8% of the collateral's value) with the SAME collateral reused, no seasoning, zero seconds of stability fee.

     Ten cycles with 10,000 IMD ($4,000 at the fixture's price) against a 1,000 imdUSD supply take backingPerUnit from 0.8 to 0.177 and a 100 imdUSD redemption pays 42 IMD instead of 199.

     The live and the lagged figure both use supply = totalSupply + _excessNow(), so there is no bound from the lag; cash pays _backingPerUnit x (1 - fee), so the channel the design says must never halt is paid down to nothing on demand (gemOut rounds to 0 at large enough excess and cash reverts ZeroAmount) and the peg floor min(1 - fee, backing) collapses with it.

     Reachable with the constants as committed (LINE $1M; the pump needs D <= LINE - totalDebt per cycle, repaid inside the cycle). Comment at 775-782 ('Only that part of a repayment is kept in the supply ... lagging the whole supply instead underpaid every redeemer') does not hold: what is kept outlives the backing it was kept for.

     Smallest fix: in wipe net the term's fall against the repayment in BOTH directions, fellValue = fell * price / 1e18; add = repaid > fellValue ? repaid - fellValue : 0; remove = fellValue > repaid ? fellValue - repaid : 0; _moveExcess(position, false, add, remove), and release by the term's fall value in bite, _redeemPosition and cover too (or clamp position.excess to the value its term still stands behind after every _resecure); and add only the WARM part of a repayment (principalPaid - coldOut, which _reduceDebt already computes for feeExcess), see the medium finding on the cold repayment.

     Either half makes the attached proof pass. The release-on-fall half is the one that closes the stranding (a warm position's final unwind strands its slice too, once per exit); the warm-only half is the medium finding's fix and bounds the gas-only pump to seasoned capital.

   • mediumCDPVault.wipe: a repayment of COLD principal is added to Position.excess in full, so the lagged backing figure's denominator grows by principal it never counted and redemptions are underpaid for hourssrc/CDPVault.sol:569

     Q2 (58f73de), the lagged half. _backingPerUnit (line 783-795) excludes cold capital from both sides of its lagged figure: fresh = totalDebt - lagDebt leaves the denominator and the cold secured term leaves the numerator.

     A position that drew at 170-200% is cold for hours (its term and principal both excluded), and when it repays R of that cold principal, _lag retires R of cold (coldOut == R, line 1000), so fresh falls by R and the lagged denominator supply - fresh is UNCHANGED by the burn, exactly as it should be; but wipe then adds the whole repaid to excess (line 569-572), with no regard to coldOut, so the denominator rises by R with nothing added to the numerator.

     The lagged figure binds whenever the vault is below par (the live figure includes the cold position's 170%+ term and reads higher), so every redemption while the excess fades is paid (supply - fresh) / (supply - fresh + R) of honest, and R is up to 15% of the new loan (D - C x price / 2 at 170%).

     It needs no attacker (any new borrower who repays part of a loan within its first hours), and a third party can impose it at the cost of gas plus one block's stability fee on a loan it keeps open or closes (see the high finding for the closed case). The fee base already gets this right: _reduceDebt adds only principalPaid - coldOut to feeExcess (line 1402).

     Smallest fix: have _reduceDebt return coldOut (or the warm part) alongside feePaid and compute the excess in wipe from the warm part only: warm = principalPaid - coldOut; add = warm > fellValue ? warm - fellValue : 0.

   • lowCDPVault.wipe: with the collateral price unreadable the term's fall is valued at zero, so a repayment during a Chainlink or share-vault outage records its WHOLE principal as excess even though the tersrc/CDPVault.sol:568

     Q2 ('free releases it by the term's fall at a price that may be unreadable'). wipe is deliberately ungated, and while _priceOrZero() reads 0 (UsdPriceFeed returns (0, 0) when the Chainlink aggregator reverts, answers non-positive or malformed, or when sIMD's convertToAssets stops answering) _reduceDebt scales the term down in proportion to the principal repaid (line 1409-1410), so the backing DID leave with the repayment; but line 572 values that fall at fell * 0, and the whole repaid is added to excess.

     The comment at 568 calls this 'the safe direction'; it is safe for the protocol's books and wrong for every redeemer: after the feed recovers, _backingPerUnit adds the repaid principal to the supply for the next day, and a full repayment followed by free (debt zero, no feed needed) cannot release it because the term is already zero (line 480). The honest case is the likely one: a borrower repays during an outage precisely because wipe is the one action that still works.

     Smallest fix: when price == 0, value the fall as the proportional share of the repayment it already was (the term was scaled by debt / principalBefore, so treat fellValue = repaid and add nothing), i.e. skip the _moveExcess add whenever _priceOrZero() == 0; and fix the release-on-fall gap of the high finding so a later priced touch can release a stale excess.

   • mediumCDPVault.wipe: the term's fall is measured against `position.secured` as last priced, so after a price fall the re-pricing of a debt-bound term masks the fall the repayment causes and the whole repaymsrc/CDPVault.sol:562

     Q2 (58f73de). termBefore is the term as of the position's LAST touch, at that touch's price.

     For a position above 200% the term is debt-bound (2 x principal / price), so a price fall makes the honest term larger in IMD (same value, 2 x principal). wipe then compares the new term, priced today with the smaller principal, against the stale smaller one: fell reads 0 (or too small) whenever the re-pricing rise outweighs the repayment's fall, i.e. whenever the price fell by more than the share of the debt repaid, and line 572 keeps the WHOLE repayment as excess although 2 x repaid of backing value left the secured term with it.

     This is the ordinary flow of a drawdown: the price falls, borrowers above 200% repay to stay clear of mat, and each such repayment inflates the supply _backingPerUnit measures against, so redemptions, the mechanism meant to defend the peg in exactly that stress, are paid less for the next hours.

     The retry2 panel's accepted low #6 (a price fall re-prices a debt-bound term as cold) is the same re-pricing seen from the lag; this is a second, unaccepted consequence of reading a stale term, and it compounds with it (in the reproduction the control already carries #6's cold rise and still reads 0.889; the masked repayment takes it to 0.800).

     Position struct NatSpec at 61-62 ('Principal this position repaid that its secured term did not follow down') does not hold: the term did follow it down, at today's price.

     Smallest fix: re-price before measuring. In wipe, when price != 0, call _resecure(position, price) before _reduceDebt so termBefore is today's term (the rise is then a separate _lag event, cold by the accepted #6, and the subsequent fall takes that cold first); or compute termBefore as _secured-at-today's-price with the pre-wipe principal.

   • infoCDPVault._lag NatSpec: 'past 128 bits of raw units a position's excess over that counts as warm' states the opposite of the code (the vault total takes the whole increase, so the excess is cold in lagsrc/CDPVault.sol:1015

     Q4 (the 128-bit saturation) and the NatSpec inventory.

     Line 1008 adds the whole after_ - before - credit to total (the vault's cold total, uint256) while line 1016 caps the position's cold at type(uint128).max. laggedNow subtracts the total, so the part above 2^128 is COLD there, not warm; and on the position's later decrease coldOut = min(cold, out) (line 1000) can retire at most 2^128 - 1, so the surplus stays in the total as cold for capital that has left, until a quiet day zeroes it.

     That is the safe direction, and unreachable at sIMD's scale (2^128 raw units is 3.4e14 sIMD; the debt side is 3.4e20 imdUSD against a $1M line), but the comment claims the opposite, and docs/AUDIT-RETRY2-PANEL-VAULT-2026-10-08.md's resolution of its #10 ('Every comment listed is rewritten to the behaviour the code has') lists this very line (its item 6) as fixed.

     Other comments that claim properties the code does not have at this commit, each the documentation half of a finding above: lines 61-62 (Position.excess is 'principal this position repaid that its secured term did not follow down': a cold slice and a repayment masked by a stale price are kept although the lagged figure never counted the one and the term did follow the other down); 568 ('An unreadable price values the term's fall at nothing, the safe direction': safe for the books, it underpays every redeemer for a day); 775-782 ('Only that part of a repayment is kept in the supply ... lagging the whole supply instead underpaid every redeemer': what is kept is never released when its backing leaves by a second wipe, bite, cash or cover, and is pumped at gas cost); 1213-1214 ('An unmarked drained position has no marker: the liquidator takes both shares' is a dead branch since d7fceab, mark.marked is always true after line 1189, the comment describes a path that no longer exists).

     Smallest fix: reword 1014-1015 to 'counts as cold in the vault total until it cools, and is not retired by the position's own decrease' (or cap total's increment the same way), and reword the others once their findings are fixed.

     whole finding

     Read _lag lines 1004-1016: total += after_ - before - credit is uncapped, if (cold > type(uint128).max) cold = type(uint128).max caps only the position; laggedNow (1092-1096) reads totalDebt - _coldNow().debt.

     For 1213-1214: bite reverts PositionNotMarked at 1189 before 1214 is reached, so mark.marked ? mark.marker : msg.sender always takes the first branch.

   The review is complete. The findings file holds seven entries, every snippet verified against the tree, and no tracked file was changed (test/scratch and the findings file are gitignored).

   What I found

   Three mediums, all in the two unreviewed commits, each with a self-contained Foundry proof that fails on the committed code:

   • free-and-relock premium (58f73de, free line 481). The excess kept for a repayment is released by the term's fall, but that same fall is banked warm. A wipe, free, lock, cash, draw sequence across five transactions restores the backing with no excess behind it and pays the redemption 3.6% above honest in the panel's own below-par book. This reopens the retry panel's medium #4 for gas.
   • cold churn phantom excess (58f73de, wipe line 572). The excess is based on the whole principal repaid, while the fee excess correctly uses only the warm part. A position in the 170-200% band draws and immediately repays, leaving the vault unchanged but the backing denominator inflated for hours. Redemptions below par pay 2.8% less, and a candidate gives up less collateral per redemption against it.
   • quiet-day cold orphan (d7fceab, _cool line 1038). The totals still zero after a quiet day while positions now cool continuously. A new position's cold goes into an empty total and the old position's repayment then subtracts its own share from it. A one-second-old 1,000 of principal and 2,000 of term read fully warm, diluting the fee base, the lagged backing and the work ceiling by up to 1/16 of the old position's capital.

   Three lows: the launch-window cost of the accepted fee-base trade-off (a 5 imdUSD reserve-funded redemption pins the stored rate at the cap for a day, peg floor 0.953 against 0.985 at six hours), an underwater full repayment leaving its shortfall as excess (redeemers paid 0.667 against 0.8 honest), and a redemption's bank credit releasing fee excess that never returned. One info entry lists seven comment claims the code does not have, the answers to each numbered question where nothing is wrong, the contract sizes, and coverage.

   • mediumCDPVault.free releases the supply kept for a repayment while banking the term's fall warm, so a re-lock one transaction later restores the backing with no excess behind it and the repay-then-redeem prsrc/CDPVault.sol:481

     Q2 (58f73de). wipe keeps the principal repaid that the secured term did not follow in Position.excess, so _backingPerUnit's supply (live + _excessNow()) does not shrink and a redemption in the next transaction is not paid the briefly higher backing. free then releases the excess by the term's fall at the current price (line 481): 'The backing a repayment left behind has now left too'.

     But the same term decrease was just banked WARM by _lag inside _resecure (the secured bank, position.bankSecured), and lock credits a term increase from that bank with no _moveExcess of its own.

     A borrower in the 170-200% band therefore does, in separate transactions: wipe W (term unchanged, excess W); free collateral worth at least W (excess released to zero, the term's fall banked); lock the same collateral back (the term is back where it stood and reads warm in laggedNow, excess still zero); cash against any candidate (paid against supply - W with the backing unchanged, both the live and the lagged figure); draw W.

     The vault ends where it began and the redemption was paid the premium that 58f73de closed for the three-transaction sequence.

     Cost: gas and five transactions, no seasoned capital beyond what the churner already holds; exists below par only, as the panel's accepted item did; the premium is (supply - fresh) / (supply - fresh - W), 3.6% in the panel's own book.

     Who loses: the Treasury's reserve and every other holder's backing, per redemption, repeatable every time the churner can wipe up to 15% of its principal without moving its term. Reachable with the constants as committed (mat 170, gap 50, wage 0).

     Comments that claim the property the code does not have: line 479 ('The backing a repayment left behind has now left too'), lines 565-567 ('a repayment, a redemption and a redraw in three transactions pay the redemption no premium') and lines 776-782 of _backingPerUnit.

     Smallest fix: when free releases excess by the term's fall, do not bank that part of the fall: after the _moveExcess at line 481, reduce position.bankSecured by min(bankSecured, the IMD whose release was credited), so the re-lock's term is cold and the lagged figure (the binding one below par) excludes it; or, equivalently, have lock/lockIMD re-add excess by the bank-credited part of the term increase times price.

     The honest cost is that a partial repay, withdraw and re-lock of the same collateral reads cold for a few hours, the lag's accepted direction.

     EXPECTED: at most 1294480687500000000000 (honest + 0.1%).

     ACTUAL: 1339790057161054981292, +3.6%, the premium the panel measured for the plain wipe/cash/draw before 58f73de.

     Proof: test/scratch/Proof_FreeRelockPremium.t.sol fails with 'a repayment, a withdrawal and a re-lock must not raise the payout: 1339790057161054981292 > 1294480687500000000000'.

   • mediumCDPVault.wipe adds the whole repaid principal to Position.excess, cold or warm, so a cold draw-and-repay by a position in the 170-200% band leaves phantom supply in the backing denominator for hours asrc/CDPVault.sol:572

     Q2 (58f73de: 'inflated'). _reduceDebt adds only the WARM part of a repayment to feeExcess (principalPaid - coldOut, line 1402), because principal that was never warm was never in the lagged supply. wipe has no such distinction: line 572 adds repaid - min(repaid, fell x price) to excess, and repaid is the whole principal retired.

     A position whose term is its collateral (170-200%) draws D (cold: _lag adds D to its cold and to _coldDebt; the term does not move while collateral-bound) and repays D in the next transaction or the same one: _lag retires the D of cold (coldOut = D), the term still does not move, and excess gains D.

     The vault is exactly where it was (same debt, same collateral, same live supply, same cold), but _backingPerUnit measures backing against live + D for the next hours (half of it six hours later) in BOTH the live figure (B / (S + D)) and the lagged one (B_w / (S + D - fresh)).

     Every redemption below par is paid D / S less; the griefer can be a candidate, which then gives up D / S less collateral per imdUSD cancelled against it (a candidate at 191% in the proof keeps 2.8% more collateral per redemption).

     D is bounded by the position's draw room above mat (up to 17.6% of its principal at 200%), re-armed every block for gas (the draw releases the excess, the wipe re-adds it, so it does not stack, but it never ages), no seasoned capital needed beyond the position. Reachable with the constants as committed, below par only, which is a crash with unresolved bad debt: exactly when redemptions defend the peg.

     The NatSpec at 773-774 ('honest redemptions are not underpaid') does not hold here.

     Smallest fix: base the excess on the warm part of the repayment only, as _reduceDebt already does for feeExcess: have _reduceDebt return (or wipe compute from the position's cold before and after) principalPaid - coldOut, and add warmRepaid - min(warmRepaid, fell x price). The panel's proof (a warm 140 in the 170-200% band) is unchanged by it; a cold churn then adds about 0.04% of D per block held.

   • mediumCDPVault._cool / _lag: after a quiet day the vault's cold totals read zero while each position's cold keeps cooling, so the next position's cold is put into a total the old position's repayment then ssrc/CDPVault.sol:1038

     Q4 (d7fceab, the fix for retry2 low #7) and Q1 (dilution) and Q3. d7fceab made a position's own figures cool without the quiet-day cutoff (_cool(..., up = false) runs to 256 half-lives) while the vault totals _coldDebt / _coldSecured (and _excess, _feeExcess) still read zero once block.timestamp - _coldAt >= BACKING_WARMUP (line 1038, up = true). The NatSpec at 1033-1035 says the total is then below the sum 'and every subtraction from it saturates'.

     That holds only until another position adds cold.

     Sequence: OLD draws D; nobody touches the vault for a day; NEW draws E (_lag cools the totals to zero, then adds E: the totals hold exactly NEW's cold); OLD repays D: its own cold is D/16 (cooled continuously), coldOut = min(D/16, D) = D/16, and total = total - coldOut takes D/16 out of NEW's E (line 1002).

     With D >= 16 E, NEW's one-second-old principal and term read fully warm in laggedNow: the fee base (_feeBase subtracts _coldPrincipal()) is diluted by E, so NEW's fresh draw lowers everyone's redemption fee and the stored base rate (the retry2 medium #3 direction, by a new path); the lagged _backingPerUnit counts NEW's term and principal warm (overpaying redeemers below par); and once a wage is set, ParameterizedVault.backedDebt counts E for the work ceiling (D1's round trip: earn against it, repay and withdraw).

     The same holds for _excess (an old position's excess orphan, released by its draw, is taken from the new positions' excess: supply understated, backing overstated) and _feeExcess (an old position's bank credit releases its orphaned feeExcess from the total that holds only newer repayments).

     Preconditions: one BACKING_WARMUP with no _lag call anywhere in the vault (a plausible night at launch), and an older position whose capital is 16x the new one for a full warm-up; OLD and NEW may be the same actor (the old position costs a day of stability fee, 0.012% of D).

     Bounded by 1/16 of the old position's capital per quiet day, which is why this is medium and not the high the panel gave the unbounded version (retry panel, 'what one position removes can never warm what another adds'). Comments that claim the property the code does not have: CDPVault 322-323 and 1033-1035, ParameterizedVault 239-240 ('what one position repays or loses never warms what another draws, in either order').

     Smallest fix: cool _coldDebt and _coldSecured (and _excess, _feeExcess) without the BACKING_WARMUP cutoff, exactly as the positions are cooled (keep rounding up, keep the cutoff for the banks, which are per position and harmless): the totals are then at least the sum of the positions always, up to _pow's rounding, and a decrease never removes more than the position put there. _pow over a long gap is at most about 27 squarings.

     The 'a quiet day credits in full' behaviour becomes 'a quiet day credits 15/16', the honest figure.

     NEW locks 2,000 and draws 1,000, and hands OLD 100 imdUSD for its day of fee. laggedNow() == (16,000e18, 32,000e18): OLD warm, NEW cold, as designed.

     OLD wipe(16,000e18).

     EXPECTED: laggedNow().debt <= 3e18 (OLD's ~2 of fee-turned-principal, warm) and .secured <= 6e18, NEW's one-second-old 1,000 and 2,000 still cold.

     Control (same sequence with one draw(1e18) by a third position at the 12-hour mark, so the day is not quiet): laggedNow().debt == 2696331918907323218.

   • lowThe cost of the accepted fee-base trade-off at launch: a 5 imdUSD reserve-funded redemption one block after the first draw stores the cap as redemptionBaseRate, which decays at a 12-hour half-life whisrc/CDPVault.sol:908

     Q1, the cost of the accepted trade-off (retry2 #3) in fee and in peg floor. The accepted reason is right: new supply must not dilute the fee, so _feeBase is the warm supply and, while most supply is cold, a redemption pays up to the cap.

     The stated cost ('early redemptions pay more') is only half of it. cash STORES the same cap-bound figure in redemptionBaseRate (line 747, base), and the stored rate decays at REDEMPTION_SECOND_DECAY (a 12-hour half-life) while the cold principal that made the base small warms at BACKING_HALF_LIFE (six hours).

     A redemption measured against a base of 38 (100,000 of principal one block old: 100,000 x (1 - 2^(-12/21600))) therefore pins everyone's rate at 4.5% for the day in which the base grows to 94,000.

     The candidate route does not do this (a fresh candidate's principal is freshCancelled, so the stored rate is _redemptionRate(amount - freshCancelled), about zero: measured), but the reserve route does, because a reserve-funded burn cancels nothing fresh, and anyone can open the reserve route by transferring a few IMD to the Treasury (redemptionReserve is gem.balanceOf(treasury), listed or not).

     Cost to the pinner: 5 imdUSD at 5% plus a 6 IMD donation it redeems back, and gas.

     Who pays: every redeemer for about a day, and the peg floor min(1 - fee, backing) in the launch window. Not an attack on funds; a quantified launch cost the panel did not state, repeatable only while most of the warm supply is small (launch, or after the warm supply turns over).

     Smallest mitigation that keeps the design: store the rate increase measured against max(prior, supply at the transaction's start / 2) (or against the live supply less this-transaction mints) while still CHARGING the redeemer against prior; the retry2 #3 dilution of the stored rate by a one-block draw is then bounded by half, not reopened in full. Or document the number in docs/MAINNET-RUNBOOK.md and open redemptions a day after the first draws.

   • lowCDPVault.wipe: a full repayment of an underwater position adds its shortfall (debt - collateral value) to Position.excess, so retired unbacked supply stays in the backing denominator for hours and redsrc/CDPVault.sol:571

     Q2 ('inflated'; 'an honest repay-and-withdraw is not underpaid', here the redeemer after one). The excess is repaid - min(repaid, fell x price): the principal whose backing did not follow it out.

     For a position below 100% that repays everything, the term (its whole collateral) falls to zero, fell x price is the collateral's value, and the difference debt - collateral value is credited as 'backing left behind' although no backing is left: the position owes nothing and its term is zero.

     The supply backing is measured against is overstated by the shortfall for the next hours (half after six), in both the live and the lagged figure, so every redemption pays less than the honest pro-rata figure; the same happens in the outage case the comment at 565-568 accepts ('an unreadable price values the term's fall at nothing'), where a full repayment during an outage keeps the whole repaid amount.

     Safe for the protocol, costly for redeemers in exactly the crash in which an underwater borrower repaying in full is the behaviour the protocol wants. Needs a borrower who repays more than its collateral is worth, which bounds the severity.

     Smallest fix: cap the excess at the backing that remains, min(repaid - fell x price, position.secured x price / 1e18), which is zero when the position owes nothing and leaves the 170-200% case (term unchanged, excess = repaid) exactly as it is.

     A position that wiped W warm (feeExcess W, bank W), is then redeemed against for R (bank W + R, feeExcess W, base down by R: correct, the burn counts at once) and draws R back (credit R from the bank) has its feeExcess cut to W - R although the R that came back is new live supply and the W repaid has not returned: the base reads supply + W - R where the design's figure (live supply plus warm repaid not yet re-borrowed) is supply + W.

     Direction: the fee is HIGHER than designed for the next hours, by R / base relative; no cheaper pin than the honest one (each R costs the redemption fee on R, the same cost as the honest burn whose effect it duplicates), so this is an accuracy defect, not an extraction. The NatSpec at 64-66 and 1053-1062 ('released only as that position borrows back from its bank') is true of the mechanism but the bank is not only repaid principal.

     Smallest fix: keep the part of the bank that came from repayments separately (or release feeExcess by min(credit, bank - bankFromRedemptions)); or, cheaper in bytes, do not bank a redemption's cancellation at all (a redemption is not the position's own capital leaving) and let the credit come only from repaid warm principal.

     ParameterizedVault over MockIMD at $1, NHI 0.85.

     P locks 2,000, draws 1,000; Q locks 2,000, draws 1,000, hands R 500; three quiet days (base 2,000: redemptionFeeBps(100e18) - redemptionFeeBps(0) == 250 bps, i.e. 100 / 2000 / 2).

     P wipe(300e18): the increase for 100 still reads 251 (base about 2,000: feeExcess 299.6).

     IMD to $0.70 so P (200%) is a candidate; R cash(20e18, 0, P): 252 (base 1,980: the burn counts at once, correct).

     P draw(20e18), credited from its bank.

     EXPECTED: the increase for 100 back at 250-251 (base = live 1,700 + feeExcess 300 = 2,000).

     ACTUAL: 252 (base 1,980: feeExcess was cut to 280 by the redemption's credit).

     CLAIMS WITHOUT THE PROPERTY.

     1. CDPVault 322-323 and ParameterizedVault 239-240, 'what one position removes can never warm what another adds, in either order': false after a quiet day (medium, line 1038).
     2. CDPVault 1033-1035, 'except after a quiet day, when it reads zero and every subtraction from it saturates': the subtraction saturates only until another position adds cold; then it takes from that (same finding).
     3. CDPVault 479, 'The backing a repayment left behind has now left too', and 565-567 / 776-782, the three-transaction sequence pays no premium: a withdrawal and a re-lock bring the backing back warm with no excess (medium, line 481).
     4. CDPVault 773-774, 'honest redemptions are not underpaid': a cold draw-and-repay and an underwater full repayment both underpay them for hours (medium line 572, low line 571).
     5. CDPVault 64-66 and 1053-1062, feeExcess 'released as this position borrows back from its bank': the bank also holds redemption cancellations (low, line 1011).
     6. CDPVault 1014-1015, 'past 128 bits of raw units a position's excess over that counts as warm': total += after_ - before - credit (line 1008) is uncapped while cold is capped at line 1016, so the excess is COLD in laggedNow and, on the position's later decrease, orphaned in the total; the retry2 panel's info #10 item (6) said so and the resolution table says every comment was rewritten, but this one still says 'warm'. Unreachable at sIMD's supply.
     7. The _coverDust comment at 672-679 and cover's at 584-586, 'holding cover off costs the griefer the whole re-lock every time': only while the Treasury holds imdUSD worth the re-lock; with less, cover reverts (CoverBelowCollateralValue, or the burn fails) and the re-lock waits for bark, grace (up to six hours) and bite, at a 20% loss to the griefer per cycle: bounded, and a cost, but not 'every time'. ANSWERS WHERE NOTHING IS WRONG. Q1: no sequence without seasoned capital moves the base below the honest warm supply: a cold draw and repayment by any position nets to zero (coldOut = the cold added, the bank gets only the warm remainder, test/retry2-panel passes); a same-call earn is excluded by WORK_MINTED_THIS_TX_SLOT; a redemption's burn counts at once and adds nothing to feeExcess; reserve-funded burns leave cold principal in place and lower the base by the burn, the honest figure; the base saturates at zero and quotes the cap. Above the honest figure only by the quiet-day orphan (medium) and the 1/16 the quiet-day credit itself gives (accepted, 316-320). Q2: excess is per position and only its own draw or free releases it; bite, cash and cover add nothing and release nothing (it decays); an honest full unwind above 100% adds nothing (fell x price >= repaid); free with debt is feed-gated so the release price is never zero; with no debt the term is zero before and after and nothing is released. Q3: a bank cools multiplicatively at every touch of its side and is re-dated at every touch, so a visit pattern cannot keep more alive than 2^(-elapsed/6h) of what left warm (plus one wei of rounding per touch); a return credits min(increase, cooled bank) and what leaves again is only what was credited; the secured bank credits only secured increases, the debt bank only debt increases, and the feeExcess release is debt-side only. The retry2 proofs (BankRearm) pass. Q4: the per-position cold is one figure cooled from its last touch, which is exact for exponential decay, so merging tranches loses nothing; a decrease takes cold first; the uint128 saturation is unreachable (3.4e14 sIMD); totals round up and positions down so the total is at least the sum up to _pow's truncation (the panel's info #9, documented) except after a quiet day (medium above). Q5: bite requires mark, grace and an open window for every position with collateral at or above the one-wei seizure, so a rebuilding borrower gets the same grace as anyone; cover takes a re-lock below the record at its value only with fresh, agreeing

     whole finding

     Each claim is refuted by the reproduction of the finding it documents (lines 481, 572, 1038, 571, 1011).

     Claim (6): read _lag lines 1005-1016: total += after_ - before - credit is uncapped, cold is capped afterwards.

     Claim (7): a drained position with recorded bad debt 10,000 re-locks collateral worth 600 while the Treasury holds 500 imdUSD: cover(owner, 500) reverts CoverBelowCollateralValue (600 > 500), cover(owner, 600) reverts in ImdUSD.burn (balance 500); the position (collateral 600 against debt 10,000) needs bark, lull() of grace and bite(owner, 500e18) to drain it before cover can run.

5. Audit permissionsAgent #461found 1 medium, 2 low, 2 info

   Review complete. The findings file holds five entries, every snippet verified against the tree, and no source file was changed (the findings file and test/scratch/ are git-ignored).

   Outcome

   One medium, two lows, two infos. Nothing critical or high. The committed suite passes as the resolution states (596 passed, 0 failed, 4 skipped), and the sizes match (runtime 22,780, initcode 46,993).

   Medium, the repay-then-redeem premium is back. 58f73de keeps an in-band repayment in the supply and lets free release it by the term's fall. But d7fceab's secured bank credits a term rise warm, and lock adds no excess. A borrower at 180% wipes, frees collateral worth the repayment, locks it back next transaction, and the backing is where it started over a supply lower by the repayment. In the proof the redeemer is paid 606.9 IMD against an honest 592.0, with backing 0.6025 to 0.6178, exactly supply/(supply − repaid). Below par only, bounded by the churner's band slack, gas only. A proof test is attached.

   Low, cold repayments inflate the excess. wipe adds the whole in-band repayment to the excess, while the fee side adds only the warm part. A newcomer who repays 450 of a cold 3,000 lowers every redeemer's payout by 13% for hours. Fix: use the warm part, as feeExcess already does.

   Low, the launch trade-off's cost is understated. With a zero base, _redemptionRate returns the cap for any amount, and a reserve-funded burn stores it. A 1e-12 imdUSD burn in the block of the first draw stores 4.5% for everyone; 18 hours later the quote is 215 bps against an honest 56.

   Info. The stored rate for a partly fresh burn reads _feeBase() mid-update, moving the rate 25% less than the comment says. And a list of comments the code does not have, including the 128-bit saturation comment the retry2 panel already flagged and the resolution said was rewritten.

   Answers where nothing is wrong

   1. The fee base holds against every sequence I tried: another position's cold draw and repayment, reserve-funded burns of fresh imdUSD, bite and cover of cold positions. Redemptions add nothing. The release through the bank can fire on redeemed, never-repaid warmth, but only in the higher-fee direction.
   2. The excess cannot be released by another position or stranded past its decay. The two gaps are the findings above.
   3. Banks cool at the honest rate; re-dating after cooling is neutral. Credit never exceeds what left. The sides do not feed each other. Banks under 2,597 wei never decay under per-block touches because of the ceiling, which is dust.
   4. The previous panel's answers still hold. The totals exceed the positions' sum except by _pow rounding and after a quiet day, as documented.
   5. A drained borrower holds cover off only by posting collateral worth the record, which is then marked and bitten like any other. The bad-debt record and the total stay consistent through bite, cover, cash and wipe.
   6. No regressions found in the fresh-debt record, earn's gate, the stability fee, price gating or arithmetic.

   • mediumCDPVault.free releases Position.excess by the term's fall, but a lock one transaction later restores the term warm from bankSecured and re-adds nothing: the repay-then-redeem premium 58f73de closed issrc/CDPVault.sol:481

     Q2. 58f73de keeps a repayment that left its backing behind in the supply (Position.excess) and lets free release it by the value of the term's fall, on the reasoning that the backing has now left too. But the secured bank (_lag, d7fceab) credits a term increase WARM up to what left the same position within a day, and lock / lockIMD never add to the excess.

     So a borrower in the 170-200% band repays R (term unchanged, excess += R), frees collateral worth R (term falls, excess released, the fall banked warm), and locks the same collateral back in the next transaction (term rises, credited warm from bankSecured, excess still 0).

     The backing counted by _backingPerUnit, live and lagged, is exactly what it was before the repayment while the supply it is divided by is lower by R: a redemption in the next transaction is paid supply / (supply - repaid) more than the honest pro-rata figure, and a redraw of R puts the churner back where it started. This is the retry panel's medium #4, reopened by the fix for the retry2 panel's medium #2.

     Reachable with the constants as committed, wage 0, no governance; it costs gas and four transactions (or two: wipe+free in one call, lock in the next, then cash), not seasoned capital.

     It pays only below par, where backingPerUnit < 1e18 (a price fall with positions deep underwater), which is when redemption is the peg defence; the premium is bounded by the churner's band slack (R <= D - collateral value / 2, 15% of its principal at 170%) over the supply, so a dominant borrower ($1M line) takes up to ~13% more of the Treasury's sIMD reserve, or of a candidate's collateral, per redemption, repeatable.

     Who loses: the Treasury (reserve-funded) or the candidate borrower (position-funded) and every other holder's backing.

     Smallest fix, two options: (a) in _lag's secured increase branch, when credit != 0 re-add to the position's excess min(credit valued at the current price, what free released from it) -- which needs the released amount kept per position (a uint128 cooled like the others); or (b) simpler and no new storage: do not release the excess in free at all, let it be released only by draw (the supply returning) and by time (six-hour half-life), accepting that an honest repay-and-withdraw leaves its excess to decay for a few hours (redeemers are then paid the pre-repayment figure, the direction 58f73de already chose for the repayment itself).

     Option (b) removes the _moveExcess call at line 480-482 and the termBefore / price locals, which also shrinks the contract.

   • lowCDPVault.wipe adds a COLD borrower's whole in-band repayment to Position.excess, so the lagged backing figure counts supply that was never in it and every redeemer is underpaid by supply / (supply + rsrc/CDPVault.sol:572

     Q2 ('an honest repay-and-withdraw is not underpaid' and 'the excess cannot be inflated'). _backingPerUnit pays min(live, lagged), and the lagged figure's denominator is supply + _excessNow() - (totalDebt - laggedNow().debt): live supply plus the excess, less principal still cold. A cold position's principal is already outside that denominator.

     When such a position repays in the 170-200% band (its term is its whole collateral and does not move), wipe adds the whole repayment to the excess regardless of how much of it was cold -- while the fee side of the same repayment (_reduceDebt, principalPaid - coldOut) adds only the warm part.

     The repayment lowers the cold total by coldOut = repaid and raises the excess by repaid, so the lagged denominator grows by the repayment although nothing warm was burned: the redeemer is paid supply / (supply + repaid) of the honest pro-rata figure, decaying with the excess at the six-hour half-life (the excess and the position's cold cool at the same rate, so the over-count is f x repaid at cold fraction f: the whole repayment at first, half after six hours).

     It is the lag's safe direction for the protocol and a loss for honest redeemers below par: a newcomer who opens a 170% loan and repays a sixth of it the same day underpays every redemption that day; a borrower who wants redemptions deterred (a candidate, or a competitor) can hold the discount at ~15% of its principal over the supply by a draw/wipe pair every few hours, for the stability fee on the principal and gas.

     Reachable with the constants as committed, wage 0, below par only.

     Smallest fix: add to the excess only the warm part of the in-band repayment -- have _reduceDebt return the cold principal it retired (it already computes coldOut) and use Math.min(repaid - termFollowed, principalPaid - coldOut) in wipe, which is exactly the rule feeExcess already follows.

     The lagged figure then stays at the honest value for a cold repayment, and the live figure cannot pay a premium because the lagged one binds below par (the cold position's own term-to-principal ratio is above the aggregate's).

   • lowCDPVault._redemptionRate quotes and STORES the cap for any burn while _feeBase() is zero, so a dust reserve-funded redemption in the launch window sets redemptionBaseRate to 4.5% for everyone, decayinsrc/CDPVault.sol:908

     Q1, the cost of the accepted trade-off.

     The resolution of retry2 #3 states the cost as 'while most supply is new the base is small and redemptions pay more, up to the cap', which is true of the QUOTE and incomplete about the STORED rate. _feeBase() is the warm supply; in the block of the first draw (or of any draw that is the whole supply) it is exactly zero, and for the first minutes it is a few hundredths of a percent of the supply (0.0385% one block later). _redemptionRate turns a zero base into cap for any nonzero amount, and cash stores base unchanged when the burn has no fresh part, which every reserve-funded burn lacks (principalCancelled = 0, so freshCancelled = 0).

     One burn of 1e6 wei of imdUSD (1e-12 imdUSD) against the Treasury's reserve therefore writes redemptionBaseRate = 0.045e18, and that figure decays with the twelve-hour REDEMPTION half-life while the supply warms with the six-hour BACKING half-life: when 7/8 of the supply is warm (18 h) the honest increase for a 1 imdUSD burn is 6 bps and the quote is 215; at 24 h, 162 vs 53; at 36 h, 106; at 48 h, 78.

     The peg floor min(1 - fee, backing) is 0.95 at launch (the stated cost) and stays at 0.978-0.984 through the second day because of the pin, where without it the fee would already be at the floor. The reason for the accepted item is right (the lag's conservative direction for the quote); what it does not state is that the first redeemer, for dust and gas, chooses the next two days' fee for everyone.

     Reachable with the constants as committed once the Treasury holds any sIMD (the protocol's bonus share arrives with the first liquidation; the runbook also seeds it); a position-funded dust burn against a fresh candidate does not pin (freshCancelled == amount).

     Smallest fix: when prior == 0, do not store the increase -- in cash, compute the stored rate from _redemptionRate only when _feeBase() != 0 (keep the decayed rate otherwise), or make the zero-base branch quote the cap without adding to the stored rate; or bound the stored increase by the burn's share of the LIVE supply, min(cap, amount / live / divisor), so dust can never store the cap.

   • infoCDPVault.cash: the stored base rate for a partly fresh burn is computed from _feeBase() after the candidate's cold principal was retired but before the burn, so the non-fresh part moves the rate less src/CDPVault.sol:747

     Q6 (redemption, the fresh-debt record) and Q1. base is quoted on the pre-state at line 699.

     When the burn cancels fresh principal, the rate stored for everyone is a second _redemptionRate(amount - freshCancelled) evaluated at line 747, i.e. after _redeemPosition ran _reduceDebt, whose _lag removed the cancelled principal's cold share from _coldDebt, and before stablecoin.burn at line 749 lowers the supply. _feeBase() at that moment is supply_pre + feeExcess - (cold_pre - coldOut): the imdUSD about to be burned is counted as warm supply although it is the fresh principal's own, so the base is larger by coldOut (up to the whole burn) and the stored increase smaller by the same proportion.

     Direction: a smaller stored increase than the design's 'the fresh part ... does not move the rate everyone else pays' implies for the non-fresh part. Nobody profits -- a redemption can never lower the rate below its decayed value, and a redeemer who controls the candidate pays its fee into its own collateral whatever the stored figure -- so this is an accuracy defect in the throttle the self-redemption pump (b952037a) is slowed by, not an extraction.

     Reachable with the constants as committed.

     Smallest fix: compute both figures on the pre-state, e.g. uint256 nonFreshBase = _redemptionRate(amount - freshCancelled) cannot be known before _redeemPosition returns freshCancelled, so instead evaluate _feeBase() once before the position is touched and pass it into a _redemptionRate(amount, prior) overload used for both the quote and the stored rate.

     1. Lines 1014-1015: 'past 128 bits of raw units ... a position's excess over that counts as warm'. In _lag the vault total receives the whole increase (line 1008) while only the position's cold is capped (line 1016), so the excess over 128 bits is COLD in laggedNow and, since the position's capped coldOut can never retire it, stays orphaned in the total until a quiet day: the opposite of the comment, the safe direction, unreachable at sIMD's supply. The retry2 panel listed this (its #10, item 6) and the resolution says every listed comment was rewritten; this one was not.
     2. Lines 775-781 (_backingPerUnit): 'nor one a TRANSACTION earlier ... Only that part of a repayment is kept in the supply' and the 58f73de resolution 'closed': false through wipe / free / lock (medium finding, line 481); and 'a repayment earlier in the same call does not shrink it' is literally no longer true since d7fceab deleted the start-of-transaction supply floor -- a same-call repayment of a debt-bound position shrinks the supply by the part its term followed down, harmlessly, since the backing it counted falls by twice that.
     3. Lines 61-62 (Position.excess): 'supply gone with the backing left behind' is added for a COLD repayment too, whose supply the lagged figure never held (low finding, line 572).
     4. Lines 1053-1062 (_feeBase) and the retry2 #3 resolution: 'early redemptions, and those right after a large draw, pay more' describes the quote; a dust reserve-funded burn also STORES the cap for two days (low finding, line 908).
     5. Lines 64-66 (Position.feeExcess): 'released as this position borrows back from its bank' -- the bank also holds warmth a REDEMPTION against the position left (no feeExcess was added for it), so a redraw of redeemed principal releases a fee excess from an earlier wipe: the base then reads low by up to the redeemed amount for hours (the higher-fee direction; the candidate must first have repaid warm principal, and the redemption already counted at once).
     6. ParameterizedVault lines 241-243, 'the cost of it is real capital at risk in an open position, not gas': true of the work ceiling's slow round trip; for the redemption half the wipe / free / lock churn costs gas.

Line 746, 'The fresh part of the burn is charged in full but does not move the rate everyone else pays': the non-fresh part moves it less than the pre-state base says (info finding, line 747). Checked and consistent after the two commits: the _lag NatSpec 955-965 (a bank only returns warmth to the position that lost it, cooling while it waits; no aggregate consulted), _cool 1028-1035 (totals at least the sum up to _pow rounding and except after a quiet day), 311-329 (per-position cold, bank credited within a day, the price-fall repricing accepted as cold), cover 579-591 and 599-617, bite 1183-1187 (every position marked and given grace), _coverDust 672-679, _relockBelowBadDebt, _recordBadDebt 1464-1476, totalBadDebt 301-308, _reduceDebt 1389-1391 and 1411-1424, draw 507-515, ParameterizedVault.backedDebt 230-258, and ImdUSD throughout.

   Outcome. The two unread commits both have real gaps, and one is severe. Written to .imd-findings.json:

   • High, CDPVault.wipe line 572. Position.excess is only ever released by draw or free. A second wipe, bite, cash or cover never releases it, so a repay-a-slice, repay-the-rest, withdraw sequence strands the slice in the supply backing is measured against. Fresh helper contracts make it a gas-only unbounded pump: ten cycles with the same 10,000 IMD took a fully backed vault from 1.0 to 0.173 and a 100 imdUSD redemption from 199 IMD to 42. An honest two-step unwind strands once per exit (0.8 to 0.59). Proof attached, written by me.
   • Medium, line 571. A lock one transaction before the wipe masks the term's fall, so lock, wipe, cash, free, draw in one block pays the repay-then-redeem premium 58f73de closed (+3.6%). Proof attached, written by me.
   • Medium, line 481. free releases the excess while the bank keeps the fall warm, so wipe, free, lock, cash, draw pays the same premium through the bank (+3.6%, or +2.5% from the reserve). Two specialists merged; the audit_math proof attached.
   • Medium, line 1038. After a quiet day the totals read zero while positions keep cooling, so an old position's repayment warms a new position's one-second-old capital, bounded by a sixteenth per quiet day. Specialist proof attached.
   • Medium, line 569. A cold repayment is added to the excess in full, underpaying redeemers by up to about 15% of a position's principal over supply, re-armable each block for gas. Three specialists merged; reproduced but no proof slot left.
   • Four lows. The accepted fee-base trade-off understates its cost, since a dust reserve-funded burn stores the 4.5% cap for two days. An underwater full repayment keeps its shortfall as excess. A repayment during a Chainlink outage is double-discounted. A redemption's bank credit releases feeExcess. Plus a low on the price-fall re-pricing masking the fall, framed as a further safe-direction cost of accepted retry2 #6, whose stated reason still holds.
   • Three infos. The mid-state stored rate, the dead marker branch at line 1214, and a merged list of twelve comments that claim properties the code lacks, with the Q1 to Q6 answers where nothing is wrong and the coverage statement.

   What did not survive. Nothing was dropped outright. The launch-pin claim did not reproduce as I first ran it (12 seconds after the draw with dust gives a tiny stored rate), but it does in the two forms the specialists actually described: dust in the draw's own block, or 5 imdUSD twelve seconds later.

   Notes for the fixer. The fixes for the lock-then-wipe finding and the re-pricing finding pull in opposite directions and must be decided together. The clamp proposed for the high finding would reopen the free-then-lock path unless the bank forgets the fall a free caused. Scratch tests are under test/scratch/ and are disposable.

   • highCDPVault.wipe: Position.excess is never released when the secured term falls by another path (a second wipe, bite, cash, cover), so a repay-a-slice, repay-the-rest, withdraw sequence strands the slicesrc/CDPVault.sol:572

     Q2 (58f73de). wipe adds to Position.excess the part of THIS repayment that its secured term did not follow down (line 571-572: repaid - min(repaid, fell x price), netted only against this call's repaid). The only releases are draw (by the amount borrowed, line 503) and free (by the term's fall, line 480-482).

     Nothing releases it when the term falls for any other reason: a later wipe whose fall exceeds its own repayment (the second repayment of a loan clears the debt and drops the term to zero, and repaid - min(repaid, fellValue) is zero, not negative), bite, cash against the position, or cover.

     A borrower whose term is collateral-bound (CR in the 170-200% band, i.e. any position that just drew at mat) repays a slice (term unchanged, excess += slice), repays the rest (term to zero, nothing released), frees everything: the slice stays in _excess with no debt and no collateral behind it, and _backingPerUnit (line 784, supply = totalSupply + _excessNow()) adds it to the denominator of BOTH the live and the lagged figure for every later redemption, halving every six hours.

     Honest two-step unwinds do this once per exit. Deliberately, a fresh helper contract per cycle (a position's own redraw would release its own excess, another position's never does) runs lock C, draw D at 170%, wipe 0.15 D, wipe the rest, free C in one transaction and repeats with the SAME collateral: each cycle strands 0.15 D for gas, zero seconds of stability fee and no seasoning (the slice is cold; wipe does not look at coldOut).

     It works above par too: a fully backed vault (OTHER 2,000 IMD against 1,000 imdUSD at $1, backing 1.0) is taken to 0.173 by ten cycles of 10,000 IMD. cash pays _backingPerUnit x (1 - fee), so the channel the design says must never halt is paid down toward nothing on demand (gemOut rounds to 0 and cash reverts ZeroAmount at a large enough excess), and the peg floor min(1 - fee, backing) collapses with it.

     Who loses: every redeemer and the peg; who gains: a candidate borrower deterring redemptions against itself, or anyone short the peg. Reachable with the constants as committed (LINE $1M bounds D per cycle, repaid inside the cycle; wage 0; no governance). The NatSpec at 775-782 ('Only that part of a repayment is kept in the supply ... lagging the whole supply instead underpaid every redeemer') does not hold: what is kept outlives the backing it was kept for.

     Call sequence from an external caller: Pump.run -> (new Cycler).run -> vault.lock(10_000e18); vault.draw(2_352e18); vault.wipe(352e18); vault.wipe(debtOf); vault.free(10_000e18), ten times in one transaction; next block HOLDER vault.cash(100e18, 0, OTHER).

     Smallest fix (no new storage): clamp position.excess to the value its term still stands behind after every priced _resecure (in _resecureBounded, when price != 0: uint256 cap = mulDiv(current, price, 1e18); if (position.excess > cap) _moveExcess(position, false, 0, position.excess - cap)), which releases it in the second wipe, bite, cash and cover in one place; or net the fall both ways in wipe (remove = fellValue > repaid ? fellValue - repaid : 0) and release by the term's fall value in bite, _redeemPosition and cover.

     The warm-only half (medium finding, line 569) bounds the gas-only pump to seasoned capital but does not close the honest stranding; both halves are needed. Fits the margin (runtime 22,780 of 24,576, initcode 46,993 of 49,152). Merged from audit_economics (high) with the same mechanism's appearance in the other specialists' NatSpec notes.

   • mediumCDPVault.wipe measures the term's fall against the term as last written, so a lock one transaction earlier (a cold rise toward the debt bound) absorbs the repayment's fall and nothing is kept in the ssrc/CDPVault.sol:571

     Q2 (58f73de regressed by ordering). The term is min(collateral, 2 x principal / price). A borrower whose term is its whole collateral (170-200% band) first locks E so the term rises toward the debt bound (the rise is cold in _lag; lock needs no feed).

     Its wipe of W then re-secures to min(C + E, 2 (P - W) / price): the term falls by at least W in value once E is large enough, so line 572 adds repaid - min(repaid, fellValue) == 0 to the excess. _lag takes that fall out of the position's own cold first (the lock's rise), so the LAGGED secured figure does not move either, while the lagged debt falls by W (warm principal).

     The redemption in between is paid V / (S - W) instead of V / S, live and lagged alike; the borrower then frees E (the term is debt-bound, so the free moves nothing and releases nothing) and redraws W. The position ends exactly where a direct wipe of W leaves it, but with Position.excess == 0 where the direct wipe records W.

     The committed fix works for the plain wipe / cash / draw order (verified: a direct wipe one transaction before the same cash pays the honest figure) and not for this one. Reachable with the constants as committed, below par only (the figure is capped at 1e18), as five separate transactions in ONE block (cooling at elapsed 0 is identity), for gas and E held for two transactions; also through lockIMD.

     Bound: W up to 15% of the churner's principal at mat 170 (25% at 150%, since wipe has no health check), premium (S - fresh) / (S - fresh - W), paid out of the Treasury's reserve (reserve-funded cash) or the other holders' backing (position-funded). Comments at 564-568 and 776-782 ('a repayment, a redemption and a redraw in three transactions pay the redemption no premium', 'nor one a TRANSACTION earlier') do not hold.

     Call sequence: BORROWER lock(540e18); wipe(140e18); cash(500e18, 0, BORROWER); free(540e18); draw(140e18).

     Smallest fix: measure the fall against the WARM term only: have _resecureBounded keep the cold part of the secured decrease that _lag already returns (coldFall = _lag(position, true, before, current), in a private storage word or a return value threaded through _reduceDebt), and in wipe use fell -= min(fell, coldFall) before valuing it.

     A lock-then-wipe then keeps W exactly as a direct wipe does; the committed test/retry-panel/AdjacentTxBurn.t.sol tests are unaffected. Distinct from the free / lock finding (line 481): that one restores the term WARM from the secured bank after the excess was released; this one never records the excess. From audit_flow (medium).

     whole finding

     test/scratch/Proof_LockThenWipe.t.sol (attached; fails on this code).

     ParameterizedVault over MockIMD at $1 (Chainlink 2000e8 etched), NHI 0.85 (mat 170, gap 50), launch constants, Treasury empty.

     BORROWER lock(5_790e18) draw(1_000e18); OTHER lock(5_100e18) draw(3_000e18) and hands BORROWER the 3,000 imdUSD; IMD to $0.294 (BORROWER 170.2%, OTHER 50%); both lock(1); three quiet days; backingPerUnit() == 0.8004e18.

     Honest reference (snapshot, reverted): BORROWER cash(500e18, 0, BORROWER) pays 1293187500000000000000 raw IMD; a direct wipe(140e18) one transaction before the same cash pays the same 1293187500000000000000 (the committed fix holds for that order).

     Churn, five transactions, no time passing: lock(540e18); wipe(140e18) [excessNow() == 0 afterwards]; cash(500e18, 0, BORROWER); free(540e18); draw(140e18).

     EXPECTED: payout <= 1294480687500000000000 (honest + 0.1%).

     ACTUAL: 1339963990912350394557 (+3.6%).

   • mediumCDPVault.free releases Position.excess by the term's fall while _lag banks that same fall warm, so a lock one transaction later restores the term warm from bankSecured with no excess behind it: wipe, src/CDPVault.sol:481

     Q2 (58f73de) and Q3 (the secured bank). wipe keeps in Position.excess the principal repaid that the term did not follow (a position in the 170-200% band). free then releases the excess by the term's fall at the current price (line 481, 'The backing a repayment left behind has now left too').

     But that term decrease was just banked WARM by _lag inside _resecure (position.bankSecured, bank += out - coldOut), and lock / lockIMD credit a term increase from that bank with no _moveExcess of their own.

     So, in separate transactions: wipe W (term unchanged, excess W); free collateral worth at least W (excess released to zero, the fall banked); lock the same collateral back (the term is back and reads warm in laggedNow, excess still zero); cash against any candidate or the reserve (paid against supply - W with the backing unchanged, live and lagged); draw W. The vault ends where it began and the redemption was paid the premium (S - fresh) / (S - fresh - W).

     Cost: gas and five transactions (or four: wipe + free in one call), no seasoned capital beyond what the churner holds; below par only; W bounded by the churner's band slack (up to 15% of its principal at 170%).

     Who loses: the Treasury's sIMD reserve or the candidate's collateral, and every other holder's backing, per redemption, repeatable. Reachable with the constants as committed, wage 0, no governance. Comments that do not hold: 479, 565-567, 776-782.

     Call sequence: CHURNER wipe(W); free(W / price); lock(W / price); anyone cash(amount, 0, candidate); CHURNER draw(W).

     Smallest fix, two options: (a) in _lag's secured increase branch, when credit != 0 re-add to the position's excess min(credit x price, what free released from it), which needs the released amount kept per position (a uint128 cooled like the others); or (b) no new storage: do not release the excess in free at all, letting only draw (the supply returning) and time (the six-hour half-life) release it, accepting that an honest repay-and-withdraw leaves its excess to decay for a few hours (redeemers are then paid the pre-repayment figure, the direction 58f73de already chose for the repayment itself); (b) removes lines 476-482's termBefore / price locals and shrinks the contract.

     Note (b) must be combined with the release-on-fall fix of the high finding (line 572) in a form that does not reopen this path: clamping the excess to the term's value releases it in free again, so the clamp should skip (or the bank should forget) the part of the fall a free caused, e.g. reduce position.bankSecured by the IMD whose excess release it credited.

     whole proof

   • mediumCDPVault._cool / _lag: after a quiet day the vault's cold totals (and _excess, _feeExcess) read zero while each position's own cold keeps cooling, so the next position's cold is put into a total an olsrc/CDPVault.sol:1038

     Q4 (d7fceab, the fix for retry2 low #7), Q1 and Q3. A position's own figures cool without the quiet-day cutoff (_cool(..., up = false) runs to 256 half-lives) while the vault totals _coldDebt / _coldSecured / _excess / _feeExcess still read zero once block.timestamp - _coldAt >= BACKING_WARMUP (line 1038, up = true).

     The NatSpec at 1033-1035 says the total is then below the sum 'and every subtraction from it saturates'; that holds only until another position adds cold.

     OLD draws D; nobody calls _lag for a day (lock, free with a term change, draw, wipe, bite, cover, cash all do: a quiet night at launch); NEW draws E (_lag cools the totals to zero, then adds E: the totals hold exactly NEW's cold); OLD repays D: its own cold is D / 16, coldOut = min(D / 16, D), and total = total - coldOut (line 1002) takes D / 16 out of NEW's E.

     With D >= 16 E, NEW's one-second-old principal and term read fully warm in laggedNow: the lagged _backingPerUnit counts them (overpaying redeemers below par: D1's borrow / redeem / repay / withdraw round trip in miniature, OLD and NEW may be the same actor), _feeBase no longer subtracts E (the retry2 medium #3 dilution by a new path), and once a wage is set ParameterizedVault.backedDebt counts E for the work ceiling.

     The same for _excess (an old position's draw releases its orphaned excess from the total that holds only newer repayments: supply understated, backing overstated) and _feeExcess. Bounded by 1 / 16 of the old position's capital per quiet day, which is why this is medium and not the high the retry panel gave the unbounded version. Reachable with the constants as committed.

     Comments that claim the property the code does not have: CDPVault 322-323 and 1033-1035, ParameterizedVault 239-240.

     Call sequence: OLD lock, draw(D); warp 1 day + 1; NEW lock, draw(E); OLD wipe(D).

     Smallest fix: cool the vault totals _coldDebt, _coldSecured, _excess and _feeExcess without the BACKING_WARMUP cutoff, exactly as the positions are cooled (keep rounding up; keep the cutoff for the per-position banks, where it is harmless): the totals are then at least the sum of the positions always, up to _pow's rounding, and a decrease never removes more than the position put there. _pow over a long gap is at most about 27 squarings.

     'A quiet day credits in full' (line 318-319) becomes 'a quiet day credits 15 / 16', the honest figure. From audit_math (medium), reproduced.

   • mediumCDPVault.wipe adds the whole repaid principal to Position.excess, cold or warm, so a cold draw-and-repay by a position in the 170-200% band leaves phantom supply in the backing denominator for hours: src/CDPVault.sol:569

     Q2 (58f73de: 'inflated', 'an honest repay-and-withdraw is not underpaid'). _reduceDebt adds only the WARM part of a repayment to feeExcess (principalPaid - coldOut, line 1402), because principal that was never warm was never in the lagged supply. wipe has no such distinction: line 569-572 adds repaid - min(repaid, fell x price) to excess where repaid is the whole principal retired.

     A position whose term is its collateral draws D (cold: _lag adds D to its cold and to _coldDebt; the term does not move while collateral-bound) and repays D in the next transaction or the same one: _lag retires the D of cold (coldOut = D), the term still does not move, and excess gains D.

     The vault is exactly where it was (same debt, collateral, live supply, cold) but _backingPerUnit measures backing against live + D for the next hours (half after six) in BOTH figures: the live one (B / (S + D)) and the lagged one (B_w / (S + D - fresh), whose denominator the cold principal had already left, so the burn should have been neutral).

     Every redemption below par is paid D / S less; a candidate gives up D / S less collateral per imdUSD cancelled against it (2.8% in the proof at 191%).

     D is bounded by the position's draw room above mat (up to 17.6% of its principal at 200%), re-armed every block for gas (the draw releases the excess, the wipe re-adds it, so it does not stack but never ages), no seasoned capital beyond the position; a dominant borrower ($1M line) can hold a discount of ~15% of its principal over the supply through a crash, when redemptions defend the peg. Honest newcomers cause it too (a 170% loan repaid in part the same day).

     Reachable with the constants as committed, wage 0, below par only. The NatSpec at 773-774 ('honest redemptions are not underpaid') does not hold here.

     Call sequence: BORROWER draw(D); wipe(D); REDEEMER cash(amount, 0, BORROWER).

     Smallest fix: base the excess on the warm part of the repayment only, as _reduceDebt already does for feeExcess: have _reduceDebt return coldOut (it already computes it) and in wipe use warm = principalPaid - coldOut; add = warm > fellValue ? warm - fellValue : 0. The committed test/retry-panel/AdjacentTxBurn.t.sol (a warm 140 in the band) is unchanged by it.

   • lowThe cost of the accepted fee-base trade-off is understated: a dust (same block) or 5 imdUSD (12 s later) reserve-funded redemption after a large draw STORES the 4.5% cap as redemptionBaseRate, which dsrc/CDPVault.sol:908

     Q1, the cost of the accepted trade-off (retry2 #3). The accepted reason is right: new supply must not dilute the fee, so _feeBase is the warm supply and, while most supply is cold, a redemption pays up to the cap.

     The stated cost ('early redemptions, and those right after a large draw, pay more') describes the QUOTE and not the STORED rate. _redemptionRate turns a zero base into cap for any nonzero amount (line 908), and a tiny base into the cap for a few imdUSD; cash stores base unchanged when the burn has no fresh part (line 747), which every reserve-funded burn lacks (principalCancelled = 0, so freshCancelled = 0).

     The stored rate decays at REDEMPTION_SECOND_DECAY (twelve-hour half-life) while the cold principal that made the base small warms at BACKING_HALF_LIFE (six hours): when 7 / 8 of the supply is warm (18 h) the honest increase for a 1 imdUSD burn is under a basis point and the quote is 210; 163 at 24 h, 79 at 48 h.

     The peg floor min(1 - fee, backing) is 0.955 at launch and stays about 0.979-0.984 through the second day because of the pin, where without it the fee would already be at the floor.

     The candidate route does not pin (a fresh candidate's principal is freshCancelled, so the stored rate is _redemptionRate(amount - freshCancelled), about zero), the reserve route does, and anyone can open the reserve route by transferring a few IMD to the Treasury (redemptionReserve is gem.balanceOf(treasury), listed or not; the runbook also seeds it and the first liquidation's bonus share lands there).

     Cost to the pinner: 1e-12 imdUSD in the draw's block, or 5 imdUSD at 5% twelve seconds later, plus a 6 IMD donation it redeems back, and gas. Not an attack on funds; a quantified launch cost the resolution did not state, repeatable whenever the warm supply is small (launch, or after the warm supply turns over). Reachable with the constants as committed.

     Call sequence: P lock, draw(100_000e18); R transfers 6 IMD to vault.treasury(); R cash(5e18, 0, address(0)).

     Smallest fix: store the increase measured against max(prior, live supply / 2) (or against the live supply less this transaction's mints) while still CHARGING the redeemer against prior; or, when prior == 0, keep the decayed rate instead of storing the cap; or bound the stored increase by min(cap, amount / live / divisor) so dust can never store the cap.

   • lowCDPVault.wipe: a full repayment of an underwater position adds its shortfall (debt minus collateral value) to Position.excess although the position then owes nothing and its term is zero, so retired usrc/CDPVault.sol:570

     Q2 ('inflated'). The excess is repaid - min(repaid, fell x price): the principal whose backing did not follow it out. For a position below 100% that repays everything, the term (its whole collateral) falls to zero, fell x price is the collateral's value, and the difference debt - collateral value is credited as 'backing left behind' although no backing is left.

     The supply backing is measured against is overstated by the shortfall for the next hours (half after six) in both the live and the lagged figure, so every redemption pays less than the honest pro-rata figure. The same happens in the outage case the comment at 565-568 accepts, where a full repayment keeps the whole repaid amount (low finding, line 568).

     Safe for the protocol, costly for redeemers in exactly the crash in which an underwater borrower repaying in full is the behaviour the protocol wants; it needs a borrower who repays more than its collateral is worth, which bounds the severity. Reachable with the constants as committed.

   • lowA wipe while the collateral price is unreadable scales the secured term down in proportion AND keeps the whole repayment as excess, so backing per imdUSD read after the outage is double-discounted forsrc/CDPVault.sol:568

     Q2 ('free releases it by the term's fall at a price that may be unreadable': free with debt is feed-gated and with no debt the term is zero before and after, so that release is never at price zero; wipe is the ungated path).

     When _priceOrZero() is 0 (UsdPriceFeed returns (0, 0) for a missing, non-positive, oversized or malformed Chainlink answer; SharePriceFeed for a share vault that stops answering) _reduceDebt already scales the term by debtAfter / debtBefore through unpricedCap (line 1409-1410, the sweep panel fix), so the backing followed the repayment down. wipe then values that fall at price 0 and adds the WHOLE repayment to Position.excess (line 572).

     Both halves of the same repayment are discounted: the numerator lost term x W / P and the denominator kept W.

     The comment at 567-568 calls this 'the safe direction'; it is a 30% underpayment in the reproduction, lasting until the position is touched again or the excess cools. cash is halted during the outage (stale feeds), so the harm lands on the first redemptions after it ends, reserve- and position-funded alike; a candidate benefits (its debt is cancelled for less collateral) and can cause it deliberately.

   • lowCDPVault._lag releases feeExcess by any bank credit, and the debt bank is also filled by a redemption's cancellation, so a redraw after a redemption against the position releases warm repaid principalsrc/CDPVault.sol:1011

     Q1 ('the release cannot be triggered by capital that was never repaid'). feeExcess is filled only by repayments (_reduceDebt with repayment == true: wipe, bite, cover) and released by the bank credit on a debt increase (line 1011). The debt bank (bankDebt) is filled by EVERY warm decrease (line 1003), including a redemption's cancellation (_redeemPosition calls _reduceDebt(..., false), which adds nothing to feeExcess but still banks the warm principal).

     A position that wiped W warm (feeExcess W, bank W), is then redeemed against for R (bank W + R, feeExcess W, base down by R: correct, the burn counts at once) and draws R back (credit R from the bank) has its feeExcess cut to W - R although the R that came back is new live supply and the W repaid has not returned: the base reads supply + W - R where the design's figure is supply + W.

     Direction: the fee is HIGHER than designed for the next hours, by R / base; each R costs the redemption fee on R, the same cost as the honest burn whose effect it duplicates, so this is an accuracy defect in the fee base, not a cheaper pin. The NatSpec at 64-66 and 1009-1011 ('released as this position borrows back from its bank', 'the supply its repayment took away, returning') is true of the mechanism but the bank is not only repaid principal.

   • lowCDPVault.wipe: the term's fall is measured against position.secured as last priced, so after a price fall the upward re-pricing of a debt-bound term masks the fall the repayment causes and the whole rsrc/CDPVault.sol:562

     Q2 (58f73de) and the accepted item retry2 #6. termBefore is the term as of the position's LAST touch, at that touch's price.

     For a position above 200% the term is debt-bound (2 x principal / price), so a price fall makes the honest term larger in IMD. wipe compares the new term, priced today with the smaller principal, against the stale smaller one: fell reads 0 whenever the re-pricing rise outweighs the repayment's fall, and line 572 keeps the WHOLE repayment as excess although 2 x repaid of backing value left the term with it.

     This is the ordinary flow of a drawdown (the price falls, borrowers above 200% repay to stay clear of mat), and each such repayment inflates the supply _backingPerUnit measures against, so redemptions are paid less for the next hours.

     It is a second consequence of reading the re-priced rise as cold (accepted #6): in the lag's own view the warm term did not fall, so keeping the repayment is consistent with it, and the control that re-prices first lets the fall come out of the cold instead.

     The accepted item's stated reason (the safe direction, it can only underpay a redemption) therefore still holds; what the resolution did not state is that the underpayment also enters through the excess and lasts hours rather than one touch. Severity low for that reason (audit_economics rated it medium). Reachable with the constants as committed, below par.

Smallest fix, if the cost is not accepted: re-price before measuring, _resecure(position, price) at the top of wipe when price != 0, so termBefore is today's term (the rise is then a separate cold _lag event and the subsequent fall takes that cold first).

     Note that the fix proposed for the lock-then-wipe finding (line 571: net the fall against its cold part) would leave this case where it is, since the fall would then be all cold; the two must be decided together.

     2. CDPVault 322-323 and 1033-1035, ParameterizedVault 239-240, 'what one position removes can never warm what another adds, in either order' / 'every subtraction from it saturates': false after a quiet day (medium, line 1038).
     3. CDPVault 479, 564-568 and 776-782: 'The backing a repayment left behind has now left too', 'a repayment, a redemption and a redraw in three transactions pay the redemption no premium', 'nor one a TRANSACTION earlier': false through lock / wipe / cash (medium, line 571) and wipe / free / lock / cash (medium, line 481); and 'a repayment earlier in the same call does not shrink it' is literally no longer true since d7fceab deleted the start-of-transaction supply floor (58f73de's if (start > supply) supply = start): a same-call repayment of a debt-bound position shrinks the supply by the part its term followed down, harmlessly, since the backing counted falls by twice that.
     4. CDPVault 773-774, 'honest redemptions are not underpaid': a cold draw-and-repay (medium, line 569), an honest two-step unwind (high, line 572), an underwater full repayment (low, line 570) and an outage repayment (low, line 568) all underpay them for hours; 780-782 'Only that part of a repayment is kept in the supply': what is kept outlives the backing it was kept for.
     5. CDPVault 61-62, Position.excess is 'principal this position repaid that its secured term did not follow down': added for a COLD repayment too, and for a repayment the re-pricing masked (low, line 562).
     6. CDPVault 64-66 and 1009-1011, feeExcess 'released as this position borrows back from its bank': the bank also holds a redemption's cancellation (low, line 1011).
     7. CDPVault 53-55, the bank 'may come back warm within BACKING_WARMUP of the bank's own date, the moment it last went from empty to full': describes 24337a2; since d7fceab the bank cools continuously and is re-dated at every touch of its side (1019 / 1023).
     8. CDPVault 1053-1062 and the retry2 #3 resolution, 'early redemptions ... pay more': the quote; a reserve-funded burn also STORES the cap (low, line 908).
     9. CDPVault 746, 'The fresh part of the burn ... does not move the rate everyone else pays': the non-fresh part moves it less than the pre-state base says (info, line 747).
     10. CDPVault 1213-1214: dead branch (info).
     11. CDPVault 584-586 and 672-679, 'holding cover off costs the griefer the whole re-lock every time': only while the Treasury holds imdUSD worth the re-lock; with less, cover reverts (CoverBelowCollateralValue, or the burn fails) and the re-lock waits for bark, grace and bite, at a 20% loss to the griefer per cycle (verified in test/scratch/Cover.t.sol: a drained position with 291.7 of recorded bad debt re-locks collateral worth 175 while the Treasury holds 0.03 imdUSD; cover(B, 1e18) reverts CoverBelowCollateralValue, cover(B, value + 1) reverts in the burn; bark, six hours, bite(B, 1e18) proceeds and totalBadDebt moves 291.697 -> 290.706 with the record).
     12. ParameterizedVault 241-243, 'the cost of it is real capital at risk in an open position, not gas': true of the work ceiling's slow round trip; for the redemption half the churns above cost gas. ANSWERS WHERE NOTHING IS WRONG. Q1: no sequence without seasoned capital moves the fee base BELOW the honest warm supply more cheaply than the honest burn: a cold draw and repayment nets to zero (coldOu

     (1) read _lag lines 1004-1016: total += after_ - before - credit is uncapped, if (cold > type(uint128).max) cold = type(uint128).max caps only the position; laggedNow (1092-1096) subtracts the total.
