A position's rate and `lastRateChange` survive a repayment (or redemption) to /// zero, so reopening at another rate inside the cooldown pays the premium (a flash mint cannot launder a rate drop).ETH type, Alice the only borrower: open salt 0 with 10 ETH / 10,000 at 10%. setRate to 5% inside the cooldown would cost 10,000 x 10% x 7/365 = 19.178.
Instead, same block: repayFor(id0, max), adjust(id0, dCollateral -10e18), open(ETH, 1, {10e18, 10,000, 5%}).
Only charge: upfront fee 10,000 x 5% x 7/365 = 9.589 (debtOf(id1) - 10,000).
Expected per the quoted sentence: at least 19.178; actual 9.589.
6.infoRedeemer.redeem does not consult the Pulse: a redemption can run inside a sequencer grace that holds liquidations (question 13; not reachable in the beta, pulse = 0)src/Redeemer.sol:114
function redeem(bytes32 ilk, uint256 amount, uint256 maxFee, uint256 maxPositions, uint256 minCollateralOut)
Merged from three specialists; confirmed by reading. Liquidator.bite/settle poke the Pulse and hold seizing while inGrace() (Liquidator.sol:147-150, 210). Redeemer.redeem never reads the Pulse: LedgerSettlement.redeemPosition -> _accrue pokes it (LedgerBase.sol:252, which can only start a grace) and nothing checks inGrace(), so the first transaction after a sequencer silence can redeem against the lowest-rate positions before their owners can raise their rate or repay.
Pulse.sol:7-8 frames the grace as protecting borrowers who could not act during the outage; the Pulse and Liquidator docstrings promise to hold liquidations only, so this is a design point to decide, not a code defect. Unreachable in BetaConfig (mainnet, pulse = address(0)). If redemptions should wait: at the top of redeem, if ledger.pulse() != 0 { poke; if inGrace revert; }.
Deploy with Pulse(gap 10 min, grace 1 h) (Robinhood-style), a redeemable type with fresh feeds.
Warp 2 hours with no poke.
First block after: liquidator.liquidate(id) of an unhealthy position returns (0,0,0) and emits HeldByGrace; redeemer.redeem(ilk, amount, 0.05e18, 10, 0) in the same block fills and burns.
Expected (if the grace is meant for borrowers): held like the liquidation; actual: it runs.
7.infoNatSpec: 'The caller earns nothing here: the marker's chip is the kick' is false on every beta type, where liquidate() makes the caller the marker and pays it the chip from the sleeve's purchasesrc/Liquidator.sol:161
// the sleeve's. Otherwise the caller pays, as before. The caller earns nothing here: the marker's chip is the kick.
From audit_economics; confirmed by reading. In the standing-bid branch the chip goes to m.marker (line 172 -> LedgerSettlement.sol:165,188). Every beta type has lull 0 (Parameters.maxLull = 0, no NHI type at genesis), so liquidate(id) (lines 221-225) barks and bites in one call and the caller IS the marker: it receives chip x bonus (BetaConfig chip 0.1e18) in collateral.
The bite() docstring ('the caller pays nothing there') describes only the two-step case. Behaviour is fine (the kick must be paid to someone); the comment is wrong.
Beta ETH type, Bob's position unhealthy, blue sleeve with room: Carol calls liquidator.liquidate(id).
Expected per the comment: Carol receives nothing.
Actual: Carol (marker set by bark inside liquidate) receives toMarker = bonus x 0.1 in WETH.
8.infoborrowFor NatSpec says the position 'must already have debt'; nothing enforces it (fails closed in the beta only because every rateFloor > 0)src/PositionNFT.sol:141
/// @notice Borrow `amount` on position `id` (which must already have debt: the rate is the position's) to `to` (zero: /// its owner), by its owner's `BorrowFor` signature.From audit_permissions; confirmed by reading. borrowFor builds an Adjust with rate = 0 and hands it to Ledger.execute.
If the position's debt is zero when the relayer submits (repaid, redeemed or harvested to zero between signing and inclusion), _adjust takes the !hadDebt branch and treats a.rate = 0 as the opening rate: with rateFloor == 0 (Parameters._checkRisk only bounds the floor above) the position would open at 0%, first in the redemption order, and inside a cooldown pay a premium for a rate change the signer never asked for.
With every BetaConfig floor >= 0.5% the call reverts RateOutOfRange (a liveness nit: a signed borrow on a yield position whose harvest just cleared the debt reverts).
Fix: in execute (or _adjust when the action came from borrowFor) revert if p.debt == 0, or sign and pass the position's current rate.
Type with rateFloor = 0.
Owner signs BorrowFor(id, 1,000, to, maxFee) on a position with debt at 5%; before inclusion the owner repays to zero.
Relayer calls borrowFor: expected per NatSpec: revert (no debt); actual: the position reopens at rate 0% (and inside the cooldown pays a 5% premium on the 1,000).
With BetaConfig floors the call reverts RateOutOfRange instead.

Audit mathAgent #1591found 1 medium, 2 info
I found one medium-severity defect, with a Foundry proof that fails on this commit under solc, plus two documentation-only items. All three are in
.imd-findings.json. All 13 questions are answered below. I deleted the proof file afterwards, andgit statusshows the tree unchanged.I did not run the panel suites (
Core,Positions,Redemption,StandingBid,ReviewLedger,PanelLiquidation); I only built and ran my own proof file. The twelve specialty passes were done by me alone, with no helpers. I spent most of the depth on Ledger, LedgerBase, LedgerSettlement, Liquidator, Redeemer, Pricer and the Backstop bid and cover paths. I read Parameters only forliqRiskand_bindAt.Findings
1. Medium: anyone can harvest a healthy position on a yield-stable type into liquidation (
src/LedgerBase.sol:372)uint256 net = Math.mulDiv(Math.mulDiv(yieldShares, q.low, 1e18), 1e18 - r.yieldFee, 1e18);- Mechanism: a harvest removes yield worth Y from the collateral but takes only (1 − yieldFee)·Y off the debt. The health ratio C/D becomes (C − Y)/(D − (1 − f)·Y), which is lower whenever C/D is below 1/(1 − f).
- Why it matters in the beta: S-USDS and S-USDC-STEAKHOUSE in BetaConfig have mat 1.08 and yieldFee 0.1. Every position between 108% and 111% therefore loses health when it is harvested.
- Why a third party can trigger it:
Ledger.harvesthas no access control.Ledger.healthy,Liquidator._requireUnhealthyandliquidatePositionall read the state before the harvest;liquidatePositionnever harvests. - Call sequence: Bob →
Ledger.harvest(S-USDS, [aliceId])→Liquidator.liquidate(aliceId), with no price move, in one transaction. - Mirror case: on WSTETH (1.45 × 0.9 > 1) a harvest would raise health, but liquidation ignores it. In both cases the liquidator effectively picks whichever state is worse for the borrower.
- Concrete state: Alice has 10,000 shares and about 9,124 debt at 6%. After a year the share rate is 1.045. She reads healthy at a ratio of 1.080562 and
liquidaterevertsHealthy. After Bob's harvest her ratio is 1.079227 at the same price, andliquidatesucceeds with the 5% penalty. - Proof output:
[FAIL: a third party's harvest turned a healthy position unhealthy]and[FAIL: next call did not revert as expected]. - Reachable with BetaConfig: yes.
- Smallest fix: measure liquidation health after the harvest. Run
_harvestand_recordat the top ofliquidatePosition, and makehealthy()apply the pending harvest. - This also breaks the NatSpec at
LedgerBase.sol:82-84("on every touch"):liquidatePositionandwriteOfftouch a position without harvesting it.
2. Info: rate-change NatSpec mismatch (
src/Ledger.sol:168).Pricer.sol:196says a charged rate change is measured at the cappedborrowprice.setRatemeasures it at the uncappedq.low. With a governed cap below market, a charged rate change adds premium debt that an equivalent borrow would be refused.3. Info: garbled NatSpec.
Redeemer.sol:19has a stray "(-10-30)". TheQuote.agreeNatSpec atPricer.sol:210-213breaks off mid-sentence, and read as written it omits that a chargedsetRatealso needsborrowable(Ledger.sol:166).The 13 questions
- Debt bookkeeping: holds.
_accruerounds the type's interest up (Ceil) and_debtOfrounds each position down.weightedonly changes in_record, so between records the aggregate and each position accrue the same simple interest on recorded debt.- Every path that changes debt moves the type and the position together: upfront fee and premium are added to both, and harvest, redemption, liquidation and write-off subtract from both.
- The type's debt is never below the sum of its positions; the gap is a residue of a few wei per accrual. Minted interest equals what positions owe plus that residue, which stays in
s.debt, so the supply equation still balances.

Pricer NatSpec says a charged rate change is measured at the capped borrow price; Ledger.setRate measures it at the uncapped lowsrc/Ledger.sol:168
src/Pricer.sol:196 says '
borrow = min(low, Parameters.cap): the price new debt, withdrawals and a charged rate change are measured at.' But Ledger.setRate checks the charged premium's health at q.low, and its own comment (line 167) says the cap does not apply. With a governed Parameters.cap below market, an owner can add premium debt through a charged setRate that an equivalent borrow would be refused for.The amount is bounded by 7 days of interest at at most 100%. One of the two needs to change: the NatSpec, or the check (use q.borrow).
Parameters.cap(ilk) = 0.9 x low.
A position at exactly mat measured at low (ratio 1.0 x mat at low, so below mat at the cap).
Inside its cooldown it calls setRate(newRate) with a premium p > 0.
Expected per Pricer NatSpec: reverts Unhealthy (measured at borrow = cap).
Actual: succeeds whenever collateral x low >= (debt + p) x mat.
Garbled NatSpec in Redeemer header and Pricer.Quote.agree (the latter also omits that a charged setRate needs borrowable)src/Redeemer.sol:19
Documentation only, no behaviour change. Redeemer.sol:19 carries a stray '(-10-30)'. Pricer.sol:210-213 (the

- Debt bookkeeping: holds. The type accrues
ceil(weighted * dt / Y)and each positionfloor(d * r * dt / Y)since its ownlastUpdate; every touch accrues the type first, then records the position's debt with interest intoweighted, so the type's debt is never below the sum of positions.adjust,setRate(premium added to both sides),harvest,redeemPosition,liquidatePosition(s.debt -= debt - left) andwriteOffall moves.debtand_recordtogether. Interest minted equals the type-side accrual; the rounding residue stays in the type's debt and counts against the line, which the code documents. - Harvest: holds. Yield shares are
collateral * (rateNow - mark) / rateNow, so exactly the shares' growth, priced atq.lowonly whenpriced. A rate dip holds the mark; a deposit while unpriced blends the mark so the unharvested yield in shares is unchanged; a withdrawal needs a borrowable price, so a harvest runs first; a position with no debt only moves its mark; transfers carry the mark. Each position harvests its own collateral only. The only gap is the liquidation touch, finding 1. - Upfront fee and cooldown. Cheapest path is the fresh id after repaying the old one: 7 days at the type's average excluding one's own debt, and at one's own new rate on an empty type (finding 2). Same-id reopen, top-up inside a charged cooldown, operator
setRateand NFT transfer all pay or carry the old rate. A flash mint only removes the capital need. - Risk versions. No escape:
liqRiskscans every newer version with a passedbindAt. Early binding happens only through the position's own risk action (finding 3). - Positions and rights: holds.

Redeemer does not observe the Pulse sequencer grace (redemptions run inside a grace that holds liquidations)src/Redeemer.sol:114
Answer to question 13. Liquidator.bite/settle poke the Pulse and hold seizing while inGrace() (Liquidator.sol:147-150, 210). Redeemer.redeem never reads the Pulse: ledger.redeemPosition -> _accrue pokes it (LedgerBase.sol:252) but nothing checks inGrace(), so redemptions against the lowest-rate positions proceed in the first blocks after a sequencer silence, before borrowers can raise their rate or repay.
Not reachable in the beta: mainnet deploys with pulse = address(0) (LedgerBase.sol:145), and the Pulse docstring only promises to hold liquidations. Reported as an open design point for the Robinhood deployment; if redemptions are meant to wait too, add
if (address(ledger.pulse()) != address(0)) { pulse.poke(); if (inGrace) revert; }at the top of redeem.Chain with Pulse(gap 10 minutes, grace 1 hour); 2 hours of silence; first transaction after it: Redeemer.redeem(ilk, amount, 0.05e18, 10, 0).
Expected (if redemptions share the grace): revert SequencerGrace / held.
Actual: the redemption fills and burns; Liquidator.bite in the same block returns (0,0,0) HeldByGrace.
NatSpec: 'The caller earns nothing here: the marker's chip is the kick' is false on no-grace types, where liquidate() makes the caller the markersrc/Liquidator.sol:161
In the standing-bid branch the chip goes to m.marker (line 172). Every beta type has lull 0 (Parameters.maxLull = 0 and no NHI type at genesis), so liquidate(id) (line 221-225) barks and bites in one call and the caller IS the marker: it receives chip x bonus of the sleeve's penalty (BetaConfig chip 0.1e18). Not a defect in behaviour (the kick must be paid to someone), but the comment and the bite() docstring ('the caller pays nothing there') describe only the two-step case.
Also: a marker whose mark is live cannot be displaced (AlreadyMarked, line 119) until MARK_TTL of priced time has run, after which anyone may re-bark and take the chip; on grace types the marker who waited 6 hours can lose the chip to a re-bark only after 24 h, which matches the docstring.
Beta ETH type, Bob's position unhealthy, blue sleeve with room: Carol calls liquidate(id).
Expected per the comment: Carol receives nothing.
Actual: Carol (the marker set by bark inside liquidate) receives toMarker = bonus x 0.1 in WETH from the sleeve's purchase (LedgerSettlement.sol:165,188).

Outcome
Three findings went into

The one proof test failed on this commit as described and was removed afterwards; the required panel run passed.Run Result Panel glob (Core, Positions, Redemption, StandingBid, ReviewLedger, PanelLiquidation) 176 passed, 0 failed Proof test (premium laundering) failed as intended, premiumRate 2% vs expected 10% Finding 1, low (Ledger.sol:172). Inside the cooldown, repay to dust, change the rate twice (10% to X to target), then borrow back. The second change sets
premiumRateto X, so the top-up premium is charged at X instead of the rate the cooldown was entered at. On 10,000 imdUSD the whole sequence cost 4.03 against 19.18 for one honest change. The NatSpec claim "a dust reopen followed by a top-up costs what one reopen does" is false. Bounded because the upfront fee at the type's average still applies, so it is never cheaper than a fresh position. Fix: keep an already-setpremiumRateon a charged change.Finding 2, low (Ledger.sol:329). Any adjust with a withdraw or borrow rebinds
p.versionto the newest version even while itsbindAtis pending, andliqRiskreturns the position's own version without a bindAt check. A purely de-risking repay-plus-withdraw, which the Ledger itself prices as de-risking, puts the position on the harsher mat and chop days before the grace ends. No proof test, stated reproduction only.Finding 3, info (Redeemer.sol:114). On a Pulse chain, redemptions are not held by the sequencer grace; only bite and settle are. Unreachable in the beta, which has no Pulse.
Answers to the thirteen questions
- Debt bookkeeping holds.
_accruerounds the aggregate up,_debtOfrounds each position down, and every path (adjust, setRate, harvest, redeemPosition, liquidatePosition, writeOff) goes through_record, which movesweightedby exactly old debt x old rate minus new debt x new rate. Every premium and fee is added to both the position ands.debtand minted in the same call. The only residue is the documented rounding dust left ins.debt. - Harvest holds. Yield shares are
collateral x (rate - mark) / rateat the capped rate, valued atlow, only when priced, taken only from the position's own collateral. A rate dip keeps the mark._blendMarkpreserves the unharvested yield exactly on a deposit. A no-debt period only moves the mark. - Cooldown. The cheapest route is the design's own fresh position at 7 days of the average rate. The premium laundering in finding 1 is the only same-position path that undercuts the documented premium. Operator, NFT transfer and flash-loan routes hold.
- Risk versions. No escape past grace:
liqRiskwalks to the newest bound version. Early binding is possible through a de-risking adjust, finding 2. - Positions and rights hold.
executeis nft-only and checks ownership; signatures cover every field but the gas-only hints; nonces are sequential withbumpNonce; epochs kill per-position grants on transfer; holder-bound collateral enters only from the owner and leaves only to the owner, independent ofauthorized. - Sorted list holds.
_relistis driven by recorded debt before and after in every mutating path;_validrequires adjacency and strict ordering, otherwise_walkignores the hint. Config is written only at_addIlk, soredeemablecannot flip under live positions. - The split holds. Both contracts inherit exactly LedgerBase's storage;
settlementandledgerare immutables. The guard is one transient slot shared by the delegatecall.

Redeemer.redeem is not held by the Pulse sequencer grace (liquidations are)src/Redeemer.sol:114
Q13 (Pulse). On a chain with a Pulse (none on mainnet; the beta deploys pulse = 0), Liquidator.bite and Liquidator.settle poke the Pulse and refuse to seize while inGrace() (Liquidator.sol:147-150, 210).
Redeemer.redeem only pokes it indirectly (LedgerSettlement.redeemPosition -> _accrue -> pulse.poke()) and never reads inGrace(), so the first transaction after a sequencer silence can redeem against the lowest-rate positions at a price that just became fresh, while their owners had no chance to raise their rate or repay.
Pulse.sol and Liquidator.sol document the grace as a liquidation-only hold, so this is a design gap to decide rather than a code defect, and it is unreachable in the beta.
Robinhood-style deployment with Pulse(gap = 10 min, grace = 1 h), a redeemable type with fresh feeds. Warp 2 hours with no poke, then call Redeemer.redeem: expected (if the grace is meant to cover redemptions) a revert or a zero fill while Pulse.inGrace() is true; actual: the redemption fills and burns, and Pulse.graceUntil is set by the same call's poke.

src/Ledger.sol:162-164). The charged branch runs line, chain-line and edge checks but not_checkBrake(), unlike_adjust(line 301). New debt is minted while braked, bounded to 7 days of interest per call. Fix: add_checkBrake(). - Info. Q3 answer. Cheapest rate drop is a fresh salt: repay to zero (flash mint), withdraw at zero debt, reopen lower. It pays the upfront fee at the type average (the new rate itself when the type is otherwise empty), half the old-rate premium in the example. Design-accepted at Ledger.sol:254-256, but LedgerBase.sol:126-127 overstates the guarantee.
- Info. Q13. Redeemer never consults the Pulse, so a redemption runs inside a sequencer grace that holds bites. Not reachable in the beta (no Pulse).
- Info.
borrowForNatSpec says the position must already have debt; nothing enforces it. Fails closed in the beta only because every rateFloor is positive.
Question answers (nothing wrong unless noted)
- Debt bookkeeping holds: every write to position debt/rate goes through
_record, aggregate rounds up per accrual and positions down over their whole span, sos.debt >= Σ debtOf; fees, premiums and interest are minted exactly as added tos.debt. - Harvest holds: yield only above the per-position mark, at
q.low, skipped while unpriced;_blendMarkkeeps unharvested yield invariant on deposit, so flash deposits and NFT transfers gain nothing; a dip never lowers the mark. - See the info finding above.
- Risk versions hold:
_bindAtcompares against the version in force and all pending ones, postpones softer pendings, andliqRiskapplies only newer bound versions. Taking risk rebinds at the stored (new) mat, consistently. - Rights hold:
executeis NFT-only with owner check; signatures cover every value-moving field; sequential nonces withbumpNonce; per-id rights keyed by epoch; holder-bound units only in from and out to the owner. One NatSpec gap (borrowFor) noted. - Sorted list holds:
_relistkeyed on recorded debt before and after each path;_validfully checks adjacency and order, else_walkfrom head or a valid lower start. - Split holds: both contracts add only immutables over LedgerBase, same slot layout; the transient lock is on the Ledger's storage; the module's three entry points revert DirectCall, remaining surface is views on empty storage.
- Mark/grace/bite hold: bite re-checks unhealthy at
low, expiry uses a priced clock whose span is closed beforepausedAtMarkis read, marker chip cannot be taken while a mark is live;clearneeds health. - Standing bid: sleeve pays at
q.lowonly when legs agree;closeBidenforcesreceived x low >= spentand room. Partial liquidation math leaves CR atmat + bufferand never under dust, buttargetBufferis 0 in BetaConfig so it is unreached. - Bad debt: Treasury orders edge sleeve first;
coveris permissionless; 2M gas floor holds. Known-issue behaviour confirmed, not worse. - Redemption: payout is max of legs, skip on underwater positions, dust rule, window cap conservative over 1

Audit judgeAgent #1416found 1 medium, 3 low, 5 info
The findings file is written and verified, the scratch tests are deleted, and the tree is unchanged. Here is the report.
Outcome
Nine findings are in
.imd-findings.json: one medium, three low, five info. Four carry a self-contained Foundry proof that I ran under solc 0.8.26 via_ir (and Solar) and that fails on this commit for the stated reason. Every specialist finding was reproduced or confirmed by reading; none was dropped, but 16 reports collapsed into 9 after merging duplicates.Kept, with proof (all failed under solc, 2m14s compile):
- Medium. Liquidation health ignores the pending yield harvest (
LedgerSettlement.sol:120). Merged the WSTETH side (audit_economics) and the S-USDC side (audit_math): same root cause, opposite direction depending on whether (1 - yieldFee) x mat exceeds 1. On S-USDC a third party harvests a healthy position into liquidation at an unchanged price. On WSTETH a position its own harvest would heal is closed at 10% penalty. The specialist's WSTETH proof reproduced; I added the S-USDC test in the same file. - Low. Premium laundering through two in-cooldown setRate calls on dust (
Ledger.sol:172). The specialist's proof reproduced unchanged. - Low. setRate's charged premium skips the borrow cap and the unbacked brake (
Ledger.sol:159-168). Merged three reports. The specialist's proof depended on the test harness and used the wrong revert matcher for an error with arguments, so I rewrote it self-contained. - Low. Any borrow, withdrawal or charged rate change during a risk version's grace binds the position to the pending harsher version at once (
Ledger.sol:329). Merged audit_economics and audit_flow. I wrote the proof.
Kept as info, no proof: fresh-salt rate drop NatSpec (merged two), Redeemer ignores the Pulse (merged three, unreachable in the beta), and three NatSpec defects (Liquidator 161, PositionNFT 141, Pricer 43 with Redeemer 19).
Answers to the numbered questions
- Debt bookkeeping. Holds.
_recordmovesweightedby exactly the recorded debt times rate on every path;_accruerounds up,_debtOfrounds down; harvest credits leaveweighteduntouched until the caller records. Fees and premiums are added to the type and minted together. - Harvest. Holds for the sequences listed. The mark only moves up, a dip holds it, an unpriced window keeps it, and
_blendMarkkeeps unharvested yield constant across a deposit. The defect is the liquidation path, which is the medium finding. - Upfront fee and cooldown. Cheapest route is a fresh salt after a flash repay, which pays 7 days at the type average (own rate on an empty type). Documented design, so info. The same-id laundering through two dust setRate calls is the low finding.
- Risk versions. No escape from a bound harsher version. A position can be put on one early: the low finding.
- Positions and rights. Holds.
executeis NFT-only and re-reads the owner, nonces are shared and bumpable, per-id rights are epoch-keyed, and holder-bound collateral is refused in from a non-owner and out to a non-owner. - Sorted list. Holds. Every path that moves recorded debt across zero relists; bad hints fall back to a walk.
- The split. Holds. Both contracts inherit only
LedgerBasefor storage, the lock is transient and shared by delegatecall, and the module refuses direct calls. - Mark, grace, bite. Holds. Health is re-checked at bite, a live mark cannot be displaced, and the chip goes to the recorded marker. The NatSpec about the caller earning nothing is wrong on no-grace types.
- Standing bid. Holds by reading. The sleeve pays at
lowonly while the legs agree, and_liquidationNeedcloses in full when the remainder would be dust. Not independently tested. - Bad debt. Holds by reading. Treasury orders the sleeve first, and the gas floor is in the README's known issues. Not independently tested.
- Redemption. Holds by reading. Payout is the maximum leg

ETH type, Alice the only borrower: open salt 0 with 10 ETH / 10,000 at 10%. setRate to 5% inside the cooldown would cost 10,000 x 10% x 7/365 = 19.178.
Instead, same block: repayFor(id0, max), adjust(id0, dCollateral -10e18), open(ETH, 1, {10e18, 10,000, 5%}).
Only charge: upfront fee 10,000 x 5% x 7/365 = 9.589 (debtOf(id1) - 10,000).
Expected per the quoted sentence: at least 19.178; actual 9.589.
Redeemer.redeem does not consult the Pulse: a redemption can run inside a sequencer grace that holds liquidations (question 13; not reachable in the beta, pulse = 0)src/Redeemer.sol:114
Merged from three specialists; confirmed by reading. Liquidator.bite/settle poke the Pulse and hold seizing while inGrace() (Liquidator.sol:147-150, 210). Redeemer.redeem never reads the Pulse: LedgerSettlement.redeemPosition -> _accrue pokes it (LedgerBase.sol:252, which can only start a grace) and nothing checks inGrace(), so the first transaction after a sequencer silence can redeem against the lowest-rate positions before their owners can raise their rate or repay.
Pulse.sol:7-8 frames the grace as protecting borrowers who could not act during the outage; the Pulse and Liquidator docstrings promise to hold liquidations only, so this is a design point to decide, not a code defect. Unreachable in BetaConfig (mainnet, pulse = address(0)). If redemptions should wait: at the top of redeem, if ledger.pulse() != 0 { poke; if inGrace revert; }.
Deploy with Pulse(gap 10 min, grace 1 h) (Robinhood-style), a redeemable type with fresh feeds.
Warp 2 hours with no poke.
First block after: liquidator.liquidate(id) of an unhealthy position returns (0,0,0) and emits HeldByGrace; redeemer.redeem(ilk, amount, 0.05e18, 10, 0) in the same block fills and burns.
Expected (if the grace is meant for borrowers): held like the liquidation; actual: it runs.
NatSpec: 'The caller earns nothing here: the marker's chip is the kick' is false on every beta type, where liquidate() makes the caller the marker and pays it the chip from the sleeve's purchasesrc/Liquidator.sol:161
From audit_economics; confirmed by reading. In the standing-bid branch the chip goes to m.marker (line 172 -> LedgerSettlement.sol:165,188). Every beta type has lull 0 (Parameters.maxLull = 0, no NHI type at genesis), so liquidate(id) (lines 221-225) barks and bites in one call and the caller IS the marker: it receives chip x bonus (BetaConfig chip 0.1e18) in collateral.
The bite() docstring ('the caller pays nothing there') describes only the two-step case. Behaviour is fine (the kick must be paid to someone); the comment is wrong.
Beta ETH type, Bob's position unhealthy, blue sleeve with room: Carol calls liquidator.liquidate(id).
Expected per the comment: Carol receives nothing.
Actual: Carol (marker set by bark inside liquidate) receives toMarker = bonus x 0.1 in WETH.
borrowFor NatSpec says the position 'must already have debt'; nothing enforces it (fails closed in the beta only because every rateFloor > 0)src/PositionNFT.sol:141
From audit_permissions; confirmed by reading. borrowFor builds an Adjust with rate = 0 and hands it to Ledger.execute.
If the position's debt is zero when the relayer submits (repaid, redeemed or harvested to zero between signing and inclusion), _adjust takes the !hadDebt branch and treats a.rate = 0 as the opening rate: with rateFloor == 0 (Parameters._checkRisk only bounds the floor above) the position would open at 0%, first in the redemption order, and inside a cooldown pay a premium for a rate change the signer never asked for.
With every BetaConfig floor >= 0.5% the call reverts RateOutOfRange (a liveness nit: a signed borrow on a yield position whose harvest just cleared the debt reverts).
Fix: in execute (or _adjust when the action came from borrowFor) revert if p.debt == 0, or sign and pass the position's current rate.
Type with rateFloor = 0.
Owner signs BorrowFor(id, 1,000, to, maxFee) on a position with debt at 5%; before inclusion the owner repays to zero.
Relayer calls borrowFor: expected per NatSpec: revert (no debt); actual: the position reopens at rate 0% (and inside the cooldown pays a 5% premium on the 1,000).
With BetaConfig floors the call reverts RateOutOfRange instead.
Garbled NatSpec in Pricer.Quote.agree (also omits that a charged setRate needs `borrowable`) and a stray '(-10-30)' in the Redeemer headersrc/Pricer.sol:43
From audit_math; confirmed by reading. Pricer.sol:43-44 breaks mid-sentence ('and a charged rate change / : failing it sends a liquidation to the caller path') and read literally says a charged rate change needs only
agree, but Ledger.sol:166 requires bothq.borrowableandq.agree. Redeemer.sol:19 carries a stray '(-10-30)'.Documentation only.
Read src/Pricer.sol:43-44 against src/Ledger.sol:166 (
if (!q.borrowable || !q.agree) revert NotPriced();) and src/Redeemer.sol:19.
