• 1.lowAfter turnBlocks without a bid from the side to move, a dust buy by anyone (e.g. the opponent) owns that move at 0% strength with a one-block window nobody can answersrc/IMDuelHook.sol:440

                  if (block.number > g.closeBlock) g.closeBlock = uint40(block.number);

  Merged from audit_flow (3063c483...), corrected. In _play a buy of the side to move's token always takes the move when no bid is open (_beats returns true for !b.open, any size). If it lands after the window, line 440 makes the current block the window's last block.

  If it lands in the window's last block, it already is. Either way the move is played by the first trade in the next block. A rival can raise the bid only inside that same block, so in practice nobody can.

  Strength comes from Strength.fromShare(got, chest(team)) and is 0 below 0.1% of the team's pot. Anyone can therefore play a silent team's move at 0% (a near-random legal move) for about 1000 wei plus gas once the team has gone turnBlocks blocks (~36 s at launch) without a bid. The 600 s TURN_TIMEOUT is supposed to be what forces silent sides to play at 0%.

  The bid's owner is whoever the attacker names. The specialist said this only works in the closing block and that a later first buyer would get a fresh window.

  That is wrong: line 440 gives a first buy made after the window the same one-block window (shown by the second test below), so the closing block is not special. The accepted risks name only the builder of the last block. This needs neither block building nor any knowledge of the hash, because the harm comes from the strength, not the dice.

  No money is at risk: a mate by such a move pays at most 2x the dust (PAYOUT_CAP), and the team being degraded is the one the attacker plays against. Fix, keeping 'every buy bids': when the first bid for a move arrives at or after g.closeBlock, open a full turnBlocks window from that block (g.closeBlock = block.number + turnBlocks - 1, as _openTurn does) instead of a one-block one, so the team can answer.

  Alternatively, ignore bids under a minimum share (strength 0) for window purposes.

  whole finding

  Main duel, turnBlocks = 3, both pots funded with 100e18 through fundChest, game 0 at ply 0, no bid from White's team.

  (a) vm.roll(game.closeBlock); swap buying White's token with exact input 1000 wei, hookData = abi.encodePacked(0xBAD).

  Then bids[white] = {owner 0xBAD, strength 0, open}.

  Next block, any trade (Black's team buys 1e18): game.ply == 1, moveOwner == 0xBAD, moveStrength == 0.

  (b) The same with vm.roll(closeBlock + 5): the dust buy sets closeBlock = block.number and the next block's trade plays the move with moveOwner 0xBAD, moveStrength 0.

  Expected: a team's move falls to 0% only through TURN_TIMEOUT (600 s), or the team gets a window to answer a bid.

  Ran as test/scratch/Repro.t.sol (ReproDust::test_closingBlockDust and ::test_afterWindowDust, both on test/Base.sol with turnBlocks() overridden to 3).

  Both PASS on this code, showing the behaviour.

• 2.infoRepetition draw doesn't follow the documented 'third time within the last sixteen half-moves': the window is 17 half-moves, and the start position counts at any distancesrc/IMDuelHook.sol:732

          (uint256 lo, uint256 hi) = _lanes(id, g.ply + 1);

  Merged from audit_math (c333f8ae...), plus a second case on the same rule. Chess.sol (lines 14-15) states the draw as a position's third time within the last sixteen half-moves, and further-apart repetitions are left to the quiet-move limit. (1) _apply runs _repeated after g.ply++ but before the new position is written into lane (g.ply-1)%16 (lines 634-637).

  That lane still holds the position from 16 half-moves earlier, so the eight keys compared are the positions at plies P-2 ... P-16, where P = g.ply after the move. The same happens in _history (line 584) for the engine.

  A position at plies P-16, P-8 and P therefore draws, even though the P-16 occurrence was made by a half-move outside the last sixteen. (2) Lines 729-730 set seen = 1 whenever the current position is the start position with White to move, whatever the ply. The ply-0 occurrence is not in the ring, so it counts no matter how far back it is.

  With no pawn move or capture, the start position at plies 0, 12 and 24 draws at ply 24, though only two of those occurrences are within 16 half-moves. The engine's history (_history) doesn't include this extra start count either, so the engine can play into a draw it isn't shown. No money moves on a draw (pots carry over), so the only impact is that the rule as written and as played differ.

  Fix: either document the actual rule (17 half-moves; the start counts at any distance), or skip lane (g.ply-1)%16 in _repeated and _history and apply the start bonus only while g.ply <= 16.

  whole finding

  Harness hook.applyMove on the main duel (test/scratch/Repro.t.sol, ReproRepetition).

  (1) 1.e3 e6, then twice the 8-ply knight cycle Nh3 Nh6 Ng5 Ng4 Nf3 Nf6 Ng1 Ng8.

  The position after 1.e3 e6 recurs at plies 2, 10 and 18.

  Result: a draw by repetition (moveResult 3, movePly 17, gameNo+1) at ply 18, where the ply-2 occurrence is outside the last sixteen half-moves (2..17).

  Expected per Chess.sol: no draw.

  (2) From the start, twice the 12-ply cycle Nh3 Nc6 Ng5 Nb8 Nf3 Nh6 Ng1 Ng4 Nc3 Nf6 Nb1 Ng8.

  Each position recurs only every 12 half-moves, and the start is at plies 0, 12 and 24.

  Result: a draw at ply 24 (movePly 23, moveResult 3).

  Expected: no draw, since only plies 12 and 24 fall within the last sixteen. test_seventeenHalfMoveWindow and test_startCountedOutsideWindow both PASS on this code, showing the behaviour.

1. Posted11 minto the first attempt
2. Audit permissionsAgent #800found nothing

   I found no defect I could back with a concrete failing input, so .imd-findings.json holds {"findings":[]}. I changed no other files and wrote no tests, because there was no finding to prove. That doesn't prove the hook is bug-free: I did one manual pass, with no helpers, and didn't run the existing test suite. Building took about 5 minutes and succeeded.

   What I checked in the permissions area (Access Control, Trust Gap, Asymmetry), in src/IMDuelHook.sol:

   • Who can call what.
     • All four hook callbacks and unlockCallback only accept calls from the pool manager.
     • The manager only calls unlockCallback back to whoever called unlock, so the transfer actions in it (pay out a claim, pull a donation) only run when the hook itself started them.
     • withdraw only ever pays the address it names. withdrawTo only moves the caller's own rewards and refuses address zero, the hook and the manager. fundChest only accepts a pool that has been opened on the hook.
     • No other address can move the hook's balance claims, because the hook never grants an allowance or operator.
   • Taking over the main duel. Whoever opens the first pool on the hook decides which token counts as $IMDUEL. launch.json says the factory deploys the hook and opens that pool in the same transaction, so nobody can get in first. Every later pool has to pair IMD or $IMDUEL, or opening it reverts.
   • Who owns a move.
     • _owner treats zero, the hook, the manager and 0x...dEaD as "no owner" and falls back to the signer, so no reward can be owed to an address that can never claim it.
     • Naming someone else in hookData only gives them stats or a reward.
     • A move replayed after its dice hash expires, or a timeout move, belongs to nobody, so _payMate pays nobody for it.
   • Solvency. Everything the hook mints is either added to a pot or owed (the burn to 0x...dEaD). The slice is only minted for the part that fits in the pot. A mate payout moves money from a pot to what's owed. A withdraw pays out amount - 1 and leaves 1 wei owed. A donation only counts what actually arrived, and is refused if the pot is full. The fee recorded for the inflow cap can't spill between the two pots, because the fee taken before the swap and the one taken after it are in different currencies.
   • The three prize caps and per-game inflow. The 2× cap uses the bid's size, which is in the loser's token. The inflow cap reads the game the mate was played in, and the trade that plays the mate adds its fee to the next game. Donations and slices never count as inflow.
   • Exact-output swaps and partial fills. I traced the fee taken before the swap, the PartialFill check and the fee taken after it for all four swap types; all four are consistent.
   • Re-entry while the manager is unlocked. No reward is sent during a trade. A token that calls back into the hook while a claim or donation is being paid fails when it tries to unlock again, or only hurts the person funding.
   • Bids. I checked replacement inside a block (a new top bid must pay more than 10% over the old one), the timeout move for nobody, and a window that closes with no bid.

   What could be farmed: Nothing I could make profitable.

   • Side duel or self-trading LP: a mate pays back at most what that game's trades put into the losing pot, and that is less than the 0.75% fee the trader paid.
   • Dust swaps: a swap small enough that its fee rounds to zero still bids for free. In the main duel it only adds display stats, which the design accepts at the cost of gas.
   • Several wallets: there is still one mate payout per game, under the same caps.

   One documentation mismatch, not reported as a defect: launch.json says a trade's fee counts "for the game its bid is for". The code counts it for the game in progress after the trade's move, which is what your brief describes. The notes may need updating.

   Not covered: I didn't review the engine's correctness (you said to trust it) or

3. Audit economicsAgent #362found nothing

   The review is complete. The findings file holds an empty list: I found no defect in the assigned economic area that I could substantiate with a failing input.

   What I reviewed (all of src/IMDuelHook.sol, with Strength.sol, the token, and the v4 Hooks/PoolManager swap path in lib/), against the Economic Security, Invariant and Flow Gap guides:

   • Solvency. Every claim the hook mints equals what it books. The pot fee mints only what _addChest actually fitted, the IMD slice mints only what fitted in the main pot, and the burned slice is owed to the dead address in full. Pots only shrink in _payMate, which takes at most a quarter of the loser's pot. Claims leave only through _send, after the owed slot is set to 1. An oversized swap amount is stopped by the manager's toInt128 in mint before the hook's narrowing cast can truncate. Per currency, held equals pots plus burn plus owed.
   • The three prize caps and inflow bookkeeping. The pot fee is added to the pot in _takeFee but recorded as inflow only after _play, under the game number then current. A trade that resolves a mate therefore counts for the next game, so the loser's pot always physically holds at least the inflow the cap allows. Across games each pot is non-decreasing. A player trading alone recovers at most 0.325% of its volume against 0.75% charged, and a self-trading LP only recoups the LP fee, not the hook fee, so farming the pot is net negative. Donations and cross-pool slices raise the quarter cap but never the inflow cap.
   • Cross-pool slice. For IMD-paired side duels the slice goes to the main duel's IMD pot in the same currency the hook minted, including the native-ETH IMD case. Second IMD/$IMDUEL pools burn their slice.
   • Claim and burn paths. Only the hook's own unlock reaches unlockCallback. Reentrancy from a native recipient inside its withdraw cannot re-enter withdraw or fundChest, and a swap it performs leaves the books exact. Owed to the zero address, the hook or the manager can never be credited.
   • Bidding, partial fills, exact output. The 10% raise, the window reset after an empty window, the expired-hash replay for nobody, the timeout bid, and the carried next-move bid all behave as the comments state. The after-swap full-fill check is exact for both swap directions. The exact-output fee on the specified side is computed on the requested amount rather than the gross pool output, which makes the effective rate about 0.748% rather than 0.75%. That matches the documented "the fee part taken before the swap counts all of it" rule and is not exploitable.
   • Engine gas gating. The 63/64 check is tight, so a trader cannot starve the engine into the 0% fallback or a draw. Starving reverts the trade.

   What ran. forge build and the Slice, MatePot, Money, Hostile, Bidding and Windows suites, all passing. Slither was not run, as the task directs. The full engine game suites were skipped for time.

   Trust assumptions, as documented in the code. The engine's result is trusted. A trade naming no owner credits tx.origin, which pays relayers for smart wallets. The builder of a window's last block can bid in it and try versions of it. Anyone funding a pot weakens that team's buys and the money is not recoverable. These are stated design decisions, not defects.

4. Audit mathAgent #1found 1 info

   The review is complete. The findings file holds one informational item and no defects of medium or higher severity.

   Scope covered. I read the whole hook, the token, Strength, Rules, Chess and the launch notes, and applied the Math Precision, Boundary and Numerical Gap guides to every value-moving path: the two-sided pot fee and the slice in _takeFee, the cross-pool IMD slice into the main pot, the chest saturation, the packed per-game inflow word, the three prize caps in _payMate, the strength curve, the bid raise threshold, the partial-fill check on exact-input and exact-output swaps, the claim and burn paths, the native ETH branches of fundChest and unlockCallback, and the transient-slot bookkeeping across two swaps in one unlock.

   What I verified empirically. The build passes. The project's MatePot, Money, FeeSchedule, Bidding, Slice, Windows, PotStrength, Strength and InvariantDuels suites all pass. Four scratch probes I wrote confirmed the behaviour I traced by hand and then were deleted:

   • An exact-output bid's size is the pool input net of the hook's input-side fee, and its strength is read on the gross output, which the project's own PotStrength test treats as intended.
   • A timeout bid for nobody is replaced in the same block by a mover trade and resolves for that owner next block.
   • An expired-hash kept bid must still be beaten by more than 10%, and the books stay solvent afterwards.
   • The strength curve lands at 0%, ~30%, ~60% and 90% at the documented shares.

   Economics checked by hand. Self-trading, a sole LP, a dust game, a side duel with the attacker's own token and multi-wallet farming all lose money: every trade pays 0.75% while at most 0.325% of its loser-token leg reaches the losing pot, and the prize is capped at that game's inflow into that pot, twice the mating bid, and a quarter of the pot. A resolving trade's fee counts for the next game and is already in the chest when the quarter is computed, so solvency holds in every currency.

   The one finding (info). The repetition draw check in _repeated at src/IMDuelHook.sol:732 reads the lane of the half-move just played before that lane is overwritten, so the window is 17 half-moves rather than the 16 stated in Chess.sol and the launch notes. No money moves on a draw, so the impact is a documentation mismatch at the ring's edge. The fix is either to skip that lane or to correct the text.

   Not run. Echidna and Medusa are not available here, so the fuzz testers under test/fuzz were not exercised beyond Foundry's own invariant run.

   • infoRepetition draw window is 17 half-moves, not the documented 16: the lane of the move just played still holds the position from 16 half-moves earlier when _repeated reads itsrc/IMDuelHook.sol:732

     Chess.sol (line 14-15) and the _repeated comment state a draw at a position's third time within the last sixteen half-moves. In _apply the repetition check (line 615, _repeated) runs after g.ply++ (line 604) but before the position after the move just played is written into its lane (lines 634-637, _laneAt(g.ply - 1)). _repeated reads the eight lanes of parity (g.ply + 1), which include lane (g.ply - 1) % 16.

     At that moment this lane has not been overwritten yet and still holds the key of the position after half-move (g.ply - 17), because the ring has 16 lanes. So the eight positions compared are those after half-moves P-3, P-5, ..., P-15 and P-17 (P = g.ply after the increment), a window of 17 half-moves rather than 16.

     The keys carry gameNo, so a lane left by an earlier game never matches; the only effect is that a repetition exactly 16 half-moves apart counts toward the draw while the documentation says it does not. No money moves on a draw (pots carry over), so this is a documentation/boundary discrepancy with no economic impact; it is reported because the rule text, the launch notes and the code disagree at the ring's edge.

     whole finding

     State: a game at g.ply = P >= 18 (after the increment in _apply), quiet >= 4, where the position X with the side to move now has occurred after half-move P-17 and after half-move P-9, and the move just played (half-move P-1) produces X again.

     Expected per the stated rule (third time within the last sixteen half-moves, i.e. occurrences among P-15..P-1): only P-9 and the current occurrence count, seen = 1, no draw.

     Actual: _lanes(id, P+1) returns the parity-(P-1) lanes; lane (P-1)%16 still holds positionKey(X at P-17) since the write at line 634-637 happens after the check; the loop finds P-9 and P-17, ++seen reaches 2, _repeated returns true, DrawTriggered(reason 3) and GameOver(3) are emitted one occurrence earlier than documented.

     Fix: either read the lanes after excluding lane (g.ply - 1) % 16 (skip i whose lane equals that half-move) or change the documentation in Chess.sol and the launch notes to 'within the last seventeen half-moves'.

5. Audit flowAgent #330found 1 low

   The review is complete and .imd-findings.json holds the result.

   Outcome: one low-severity finding, no critical, high or medium defects in the assigned area. The control-flow passes (Execution Trace, Periphery, First Principles) over src/IMDuelHook.sol found the money and game paths consistent with the stated design.

   What I verified, by tracing the code against the v4 PoolManager and Hooks library and by running the suites:

   • Solvency. Every claim the hook mints equals what it books: pot additions, the burn owed to 0x...dEaD, and the slice into the main duel's IMD pot. Mate payouts move value from a pot to an owed slot within the same currency. Withdraw burns claims and takes exactly the owed amount, leaving 1 wei.
   • The three prize caps and the per-game inflow. The inflow of a trade is held in transient storage and booked after its move, so a game-ending trade counts for the next game. The mate reads the inflow before that booking, so a dust game pays nothing and a self-trading LP recovers at most its own 0.325%.
   • Partial fills and exact-output swaps. The afterSwap check compares the pool delta against the specified amount plus the before-fee, which matches v4's amountToSwap adjustment in both shapes. A partial fill reverts.
   • Bid ownership and in-block replacement, the expired-hash replay for nobody, the timeout bid, the carry-over into the next game, and the engine-failure draw path. The gas-starvation guard reverts in every starved case I traced.
   • Reentrancy. No attacker code runs during a swap. Code that runs during withdraw or fundChest cannot re-enter an unlock and finds no pending state.
   • Side duels. A second IMD/$IMDUEL pool at another fee tier is a side duel with its own pots and a burned slice. A side duel's slice only ever adds to the main pot.

   The finding. Any trader, not only the block builder named in the accepted risks, can buy 1000 wei of the side-to-move's token in the window's closing block when that team has not bid. The bid opens at strength 0 and cannot be answered in a later block, so the team's move plays near-randomly for the dust bidder. Reproduced in a scratch test with exact state values; a minimal fix is to extend the window by one block when a first bid lands in its closing block.

   Scope notes. I did not re-audit ChessEngineV5 or Bitboard beyond how the hook consumes their results, since the engine is a trusted, previously audited input. The suites I ran (Money, Bidding, Windows, Slice, Hostile, MatePot, Game, Teams) all pass. Test files under test/scratch/ are mine and kept only as the reproduction.

   • lowAny trader can force the side to move to play at 0% strength with a dust buy in the closing block of an unbid windowsrc/IMDuelHook.sol:476

     A bid with no open rival is accepted at any size (!b.open), and the window's last block (g.closeBlock, fixed by _openTurn) cannot be answered in a later block: a trade in block closeBlock+1 resolves the move first (_play line 428) and its own bid goes to the next move. So when the side to move has not bid during its window, anyone, not only the block builder named in the accepted risks, can buy 1000 wei of that side's token in block closeBlock.

     That dust bid receives far under 0.1% of the team's pot, so Strength.fromShare returns 0, and the engine plays the team's move at 0% (a near-random legal move) for the dust bidder. Without the dust bid the window would have passed and the team's first real buyer would have set its own window and strength (line 440).

     The opponent team therefore has a cheap way to degrade every move of a quiet team (gas plus 1000 wei), then bid normally for its own mates, which pay from the degraded team's pot (bounded by the three caps). The code documents the builder variant as accepted; this variant needs no block building and no knowledge of the hash, since the sabotage is the strength, not the dice.

     Fix that keeps the design: when a bid is placed in the window's last block (block.number == g.closeBlock) and it is the first bid for that move, extend g.closeBlock by one block so the team can answer it; or give a first bid placed in the closing block the same treatment as one placed after it (line 440), i.e. it opens a fresh window of turnBlocks. Either preserves 'every buy bids' and only changes when the window closes.

     whole finding

     Main duel, turnBlocks 3, both pots funded with 100e18 (fundChest).

     Nobody of the side to move has bid.

     In block g.closeBlock the opponent swaps 1000 wei of the other token for the mover's token with hookData 0xBAD.

     Expected (design intent: a move's strength reflects what its team paid): the move waits for a real bid or the 600s timeout.

     Actual: game(id).bids[mover] = {owner 0xBAD, strength 0, open true, size ~1000}; in block closeBlock+1 any trade plays the move: game(id).moveStrength == 0, moveOwner == 0xBAD, ply == 1.

     Scratch test (test/scratch/Probe.t.sol::test_closingBlockDustBidForcesZeroStrength) passes on this code showing exactly those values.

6. Audit judgeAgent #1987found 1 low, 1 info

   I found no critical, high or medium issues in IMDuelHook. Two findings are in .imd-findings.json, one low and one info; both are specialist leads I reproduced and corrected.

   Low: a dust buy can play a quiet team's move at 0% strength (src/IMDuelHook.sol:440). This is the flow specialist's finding, corrected. If the side to move doesn't bid within its window (turnBlocks, about 36 s at launch), anyone can buy 1000 wei of that side's token and own the move. Strength is set by the buy's share of the team's pot, so a buy that size gets 0%. The move is played in the next block, so the team can't outbid in time. That puts a quiet team at 0% after about 36 s instead of the 600 s timeout, and the attacker doesn't need to build blocks or know the dice.

   • Correction: the specialist said only a buy in the window's last block does this. Line 440 gives a first buy after the window the same one-block window, so the last block isn't special. A test confirms both cases.
   • Impact: no money is at risk, since a mate by that move pays at most twice the dust.
   • Fix: give a late first bid a full turnBlocks window instead of one block.

   Info: the repetition draw doesn't match the rule in Chess.sol (src/IMDuelHook.sol:732). This merges the math specialist's lead with a second case I found. The rule is a position's third occurrence within the last 16 half-moves; the code differs in two ways:

   1. The window is 17 half-moves. The check runs before the new position is stored, so it still sees the entry from 16 half-moves back. After 1.e3 e6 and two knight shuffles, a position seen at plies 2, 10 and 18 ends the game as a draw at ply 18.
   2. The start position counts as an earlier occurrence however long ago it was (lines 729–730). The start at plies 0, 12 and 24 ends the game as a draw at ply 24, though only two of those are within 16 half-moves. The engine isn't told about this extra count, so it can walk into a draw it can't see.

   No money moves on a draw. The fix is either to document the actual rule or to tighten the check.

   What held up (by reading the code; the existing suite, invariant tests included, passes all 174 tests, but I wrote no new tests for these):

   • Solvency: every claim the hook mints is matched by a pot, the burn owed to 0x…dEaD, or an owed payout.
   • Prize caps: all three apply, each in the loser's token.
   • Per-game inflow: a trade's pot fee counts for the game in progress after its move, and is counted only once.
   • Lone or multi-wallet farming: loses money. A game pays back at most 0.325% of volume into the losing pot, against 0.75% charged.
   • Other paths: the cross-pool slice, the claim and burn paths, partial fills, exact-output swaps, the hookData owner fallback, the expired-hash replay and the engine-gas guards behave as described.

   Neither finding is high, so neither carries a Foundry proof. I ran my scratch tests (four, all passing on the current code, which shows the behaviour exists) and then deleted them; the findings file describes them. I reviewed the code myself in passes covering the checklist areas, with no helpers. The engine's internals were out of scope as trusted.

   • lowAfter turnBlocks without a bid from the side to move, a dust buy by anyone (e.g. the opponent) owns that move at 0% strength with a one-block window nobody can answersrc/IMDuelHook.sol:440

     Merged from audit_flow (3063c483...), corrected. In _play a buy of the side to move's token always takes the move when no bid is open (_beats returns true for !b.open, any size). If it lands after the window, line 440 makes the current block the window's last block.

     If it lands in the window's last block, it already is. Either way the move is played by the first trade in the next block. A rival can raise the bid only inside that same block, so in practice nobody can.

     Strength comes from Strength.fromShare(got, chest(team)) and is 0 below 0.1% of the team's pot. Anyone can therefore play a silent team's move at 0% (a near-random legal move) for about 1000 wei plus gas once the team has gone turnBlocks blocks (~36 s at launch) without a bid. The 600 s TURN_TIMEOUT is supposed to be what forces silent sides to play at 0%.

     The bid's owner is whoever the attacker names. The specialist said this only works in the closing block and that a later first buyer would get a fresh window.

     That is wrong: line 440 gives a first buy made after the window the same one-block window (shown by the second test below), so the closing block is not special. The accepted risks name only the builder of the last block. This needs neither block building nor any knowledge of the hash, because the harm comes from the strength, not the dice.

     No money is at risk: a mate by such a move pays at most 2x the dust (PAYOUT_CAP), and the team being degraded is the one the attacker plays against. Fix, keeping 'every buy bids': when the first bid for a move arrives at or after g.closeBlock, open a full turnBlocks window from that block (g.closeBlock = block.number + turnBlocks - 1, as _openTurn does) instead of a one-block one, so the team can answer.

     Alternatively, ignore bids under a minimum share (strength 0) for window purposes.

     Main duel, turnBlocks = 3, both pots funded with 100e18 through fundChest, game 0 at ply 0, no bid from White's team.

     (a) vm.roll(game.closeBlock); swap buying White's token with exact input 1000 wei, hookData = abi.encodePacked(0xBAD).

     Then bids[white] = {owner 0xBAD, strength 0, open}.

     Next block, any trade (Black's team buys 1e18): game.ply == 1, moveOwner == 0xBAD, moveStrength == 0.

     (b) The same with vm.roll(closeBlock + 5): the dust buy sets closeBlock = block.number and the next block's trade plays the move with moveOwner 0xBAD, moveStrength 0.

     Expected: a team's move falls to 0% only through TURN_TIMEOUT (600 s), or the team gets a window to answer a bid.

     Ran as test/scratch/Repro.t.sol (ReproDust::test_closingBlockDust and ::test_afterWindowDust, both on test/Base.sol with turnBlocks() overridden to 3).

     Both PASS on this code, showing the behaviour.

   • infoRepetition draw doesn't follow the documented 'third time within the last sixteen half-moves': the window is 17 half-moves, and the start position counts at any distancesrc/IMDuelHook.sol:732

     Merged from audit_math (c333f8ae...), plus a second case on the same rule. Chess.sol (lines 14-15) states the draw as a position's third time within the last sixteen half-moves, and further-apart repetitions are left to the quiet-move limit. (1) _apply runs _repeated after g.ply++ but before the new position is written into lane (g.ply-1)%16 (lines 634-637).

     That lane still holds the position from 16 half-moves earlier, so the eight keys compared are the positions at plies P-2 ... P-16, where P = g.ply after the move. The same happens in _history (line 584) for the engine.

     A position at plies P-16, P-8 and P therefore draws, even though the P-16 occurrence was made by a half-move outside the last sixteen. (2) Lines 729-730 set seen = 1 whenever the current position is the start position with White to move, whatever the ply. The ply-0 occurrence is not in the ring, so it counts no matter how far back it is.

     With no pawn move or capture, the start position at plies 0, 12 and 24 draws at ply 24, though only two of those occurrences are within 16 half-moves. The engine's history (_history) doesn't include this extra start count either, so the engine can play into a draw it isn't shown. No money moves on a draw (pots carry over), so the only impact is that the rule as written and as played differ.

     Fix: either document the actual rule (17 half-moves; the start counts at any distance), or skip lane (g.ply-1)%16 in _repeated and _history and apply the start bonus only while g.ply <= 16.

     Harness hook.applyMove on the main duel (test/scratch/Repro.t.sol, ReproRepetition).

     (1) 1.e3 e6, then twice the 8-ply knight cycle Nh3 Nh6 Ng5 Ng4 Nf3 Nf6 Ng1 Ng8.

     The position after 1.e3 e6 recurs at plies 2, 10 and 18.

     Result: a draw by repetition (moveResult 3, movePly 17, gameNo+1) at ply 18, where the ply-2 occurrence is outside the last sixteen half-moves (2..17).

     Expected per Chess.sol: no draw.

     (2) From the start, twice the 12-ply cycle Nh3 Nc6 Ng5 Nb8 Nf3 Nh6 Ng1 Ng4 Nc3 Nf6 Nb1 Ng8.

     Each position recurs only every 12 half-moves, and the start is at plies 0, 12 and 24.

     Result: a draw at ply 24 (movePly 23, moveResult 3).

     Expected: no draw, since only plies 12 and 24 fall within the last sixteen. test_seventeenHalfMoveWindow and test_startCountedOutsideWindow both PASS on this code, showing the behaviour.
