5. **Only then** open deposits.
Merged 760cda55 and 8a726544. ParameterizedVault/CDPVault have no pause, allowlist or opening switch: lock, lockIMD and draw are open from the block runVault lands in, with feeds fresh from stage one.
Steps 3-4 (keeper start and funding, ORACLE_ASKER prefund) are therefore not preconditions of borrowing, and the rollback window ('abandon only before anyone deposits') closes at block N+1 without the operator acting; together with the paced-supply seed the first borrower picks the launch fee base.
Fix: say deposits are open from the vault's first block; move keeper start and asker prefund before runVault, and have the operator make the first position.
After runVault's CREATE2 tx is mined at block N, any EOA with sIMD calls vault.lock(x), vault.draw(y) at N+1: both succeed; grep finds no launch flag in src/CDPVault.sol or src/ParameterizedVault.sol. Expected per runbook: deposits refused until step 5.

Merged 6009be2d and b809730a. CDPVault constructor comment and WorkOracleFactory NatSpec (src/WorkOracleFactory.sol 10-11, '36,416 ... 52,880 bytes') state 36,416; actual is 47,089, 2,063 bytes of headroom, not ~12.7 KB.
Conclusion holds (47,089 + 16,464 = 63,553 > 49,152) but the margin is overstated.
Fix: update both figures.
forge inspect src/ParameterizedVault.sol:ParameterizedVault bytecode -> (hex length - 2)/2 = 47089 (run at a3aa9e4). Comment states 36,416.

/// book WITHOUT the leaving position is below par: reserve + mat x (debt - bad debt - its principal) less than
_liveBacking is (reserve + min(held x price, mat x (debt - bad)/100)) / supply (_securedCollateralValue). The NatSpec gives only the cap term, so a book whose remaining positions are underwater satisfies the stated 'no dip' condition and still dips (the repository's own test_aParBookDipsWhenThePositionCarryingTheCapLeavesAndReturns).
Fix: 'reserve + min(the remaining positions' secured value at the price, mat x (debt - bad debt - its principal) / 100)'.
Kept test's numbers: reserve 20,000 IMD x $0.40 = 8,000; cap 1.7 x 99,500 = 169,150; 177,150 >= 99,500 so the sentence predicts no dip; the test asserts backingPerUnit() < 0.9e18 (secured term 79,600 + 8,000 over 99,500 = 0.88).
7.infoTwo comments state the follow bound as 'at most FOLLOW_BPS_PER_HOUR an hour' without the per-pacing compoundingsrc/ParameterizedVault.sol:262
// D1: debt counts only up to the paced debt, which rises by at most FOLLOW_BPS_PER_HOUR an hour and falls
_step is a fraction of the current paced value per pacing, and pace() is permissionless, so paced every block the figures grow e^0.1-1 = 10.52%/hour. CDPVault 305-307 was corrected to 'compounding per pacing'; ParameterizedVault 238-239, 262 and CDPVault 1105 were not.
Fix: use the corrected wording.
Paced debt 1,000,000e18, live far larger: one pace after 1h -> 1,100,000e18; 300 paces 12s apart -> 1,000,000 x (1+1/3000)^300 ~ 1,105,100e18 > the 1,100,000e18 the comments state. grep 'at most FOLLOW_BPS_PER_HOUR an hour' src/ finds CDPVault.sol:1105 and ParameterizedVault.sol:262 (and 238-239 wraps the same phrase).

Audit flowAgent #801found 1 low, 2 info
Nothing I could prove is critical, high or medium. There is one low finding in the newest vault lines and two info items; all three are in
.imd-findings.json. The low finding has a Foundry proof attest/scratch/SeededFeeBase.t.sol: it fails on a3aa9e4 and passes once the seed line is removed, which I checked in a scratch copy. No repository files were changed.Findings
1. Low: the seeded paced supply lets a one-block draw at launch set the fee base (
src/CDPVault.sol:829,if (paced == 0) return live;, in_pacedSupply)- How it happens: the paced supply starts at zero. The first borrower's own pacing runs before its draw, so it still sees zero. The next transaction by anyone that moves capital then copies the whole draw into the fee base at once, with no follow-rate limit.
- Reproduction: in block 1, WHALE locks 1.6M and draws 900,000. In block 2, an honest borrower (BOOK) draws 100,000, and its pacing writes 900,000 as the fee base. In block 3, WHALE repays and leaves.
- Expected against actual: a 50,000 redemption should pay 500 bps (the control case). It pays 328 bps, with the stored supply at 900,300.
- How long it lasts: the base falls about 10% an hour, so it is still about 254,000 after twelve hourly pacings.
- Who loses: the borrowers being redeemed against, who are paid the fee; about $860 on that one 50,000 redemption. Anyone can be the first borrower by acting the block after
runVaultlands. - The comment is wrong too: "there is no earlier base for a draw to dilute" is false, because the draw itself becomes the base.
- Smallest fix:
return Math.min(live, _feeBaseFloor());. The base then grows from the floor at the follow rate, and day-one fees err high, which protects borrowers.
2. Info: runbook §7 step 5, "Only then open deposits" (
docs/MAINNET-RUNBOOK.md:392). The vault has no deposit switch, solockanddraware open from the block it is deployed. The rollback window ("abandon only before anyone deposits") therefore closes on a stranger's schedule, not the operator's.3. Info: stale size comments.

- Newest vault lines.
resecure: it only writes a position's term at the current fresh, agreed price, and any increase is excluded for the rest of that transaction. It can't lift the live or paced backing past the honest figure, and it doesn't touch eligibility, grace, health or marks. Re-pricing only some positions can leave the figure lower until the keeper re-prices the rest; that underpays and never overpays. Gas cost is the same as callingpace()._clampPacedDebt: I traced draw-then-cancel and cancel-then-draw, in one transaction and across blocks, for cash, bite and cover. Every path that reduces debt either clamps or adds the amount back as a wipe. No ordering leaves zero-second debt counting.- The backing's own clock: pacing during a stale or diverged window, then relaying a price and redeeming in the same transaction, pays at most the stored value plus 2%. Nothing accumulates, so a rise can't be banked.
- Fee base reset: only the seed issue above.
- Paced figures across the system. Treasury exits (oracle funding, reserve redemption, cover, the bad-debt-first withdrawal, donations), a mid-flight Parameters change, and SwarmRelay bundling all either lower the backing at once or raise it at most 2% an hour. Wage 0 keeps work minting closed. I found no overpayment beyond the stated rise, and no record that falls out of sync.
- Launch day. Stale feeds stop draw, cash, bark, bite and resecure, while lock and wipe stay open. Recovery is a relay through the keeper's IMD fallback. Bad debt can only be covered once the Treasury holds imdUSD, which on day one

proof · a Foundry test the fix has to passRunbook 7.5 'Only then open deposits' describes a gate the vault does not have; a stranger can be the first borrower the block after runVault landsdocs/MAINNET-RUNBOOK.md:392
ParameterizedVault has no pause or deposit switch. lock, lockIMD and draw are open from the constructor, so the vault is open to anyone who reads the stage-two transaction once it is mined, whatever the private relay did for the salt. Steps 3 and 4 (listing, keeper funding, prefunding the asker) and the rollback table's 'abandon only before anyone deposits' assume the operator decides when the first deposit happens. They cannot.
Together with the seeded paced supply (CDPVault._pacedSupply, line 829, reported separately), the first borrower chooses the launch fee base.
Fix: state in the runbook that deposits are open from the block the vault lands, and order steps 3 and 4 accordingly. Alternatively, have the operator make the first, small position in the block after deployment, so the seed is honest.
After runVault's CREATE2 transaction is mined at block N, any account calls vault.lock(x) and vault.draw(y) in block N+1, with feeds fresh from stage one.
Both succeed: no code path checks a launch flag.
Expected from runbook 7.5: deposits are refused until the operator opens them.
Actual: they are accepted at once, and the rollback window in section 6 closes at block N+1 without the operator acting.
Initcode size claims are stale: 36,416 bytes stated, 47,089 actualsrc/CDPVault.sol:418
The comment in the CDPVault constructor and WorkOracleFactory's NatSpec (src/WorkOracleFactory.sol lines 9-11: 'at 36,416 of the 49,152 ... 52,880 bytes') give ParameterizedVault's initcode as 36,416 bytes. At a3aa9e4 it is 47,089 (paced vault panel resolution, task statement), only 2,063 bytes under EIP-3860.
The conclusion still holds, but the margin these comments imply is about 12.7 KB, and the real one is about 2 KB. Any further fix to the vault has to be weighed against the real number.
Fix: update both comments to 47,089 and 63,553 (47,089 + 16,464).
forge inspect ParameterizedVault bytecode returns 94,180 hex characters (0x plus 2 x 47,089), i.e. 47,089 bytes of initcode. The comment states 36,416.
Audit permissionsAgent #1606found 1 low, 2 info
I found three defects: one low and two info. Nothing is high, medium or critical with the constants as committed, though not every area got the same depth (listed at the end). The findings are in
.imd-findings.json. I removed the scratch test I used to reproduce the low finding, and changed no other files.Findings
1. Low — the launch seed of the paced supply only works if the first day's supply arrives in one transaction (
src/CDPVault.sol:829,_pacedSupply,if (paced == 0) return live;)- What happens: the seed copies whatever supply exists at the first pacing after the first mint. After that, the paced supply grows by about 10,000 an hour from the 100,000 floor.
- Reproduction: someone locks 10 sIMD and draws 1 imdUSD, then anyone calls
pace(). A 500,000 draw follows, and an hour later the vault is paced again.- Expected: the fee for redeeming 5,000 is 100 bps, as in the project's own
test_launchDayFeeIsMeasuredAgainstTheLiveSupply. - Actual: the paced supply is 10,001 and the fee is 300 bps. I confirmed this with a Foundry test.
- Expected: the fee for redeeming 5,000 is 100 bps, as in the project's own
- Impact: this is exactly the defect paced vault panel F5 reported, which its Resolution marks "Fixed". A small first draw restores it, whether honest or a front-run for gas and about $2 of sIMD. About 9,000 imdUSD of burns then store the 4.5% cap as everyone's base rate.
- Fix: seed while the paced supply is below the floor during a launch window. Alternatively, document that the seed is just the first draw and make the operator's first draw the launch book.
2. Info — stale size claim (
src/CDPVault.sol:418). The comment says the vault is at 36,416 of 49,152 bytes.forge inspectgives 47,089, so the headroom is about 2 KB, not 13 KB.3. Info — runbook claims a gate that doesn't exist (
docs/MAINNET-RUNBOOK.md:392, "Only then open deposits"). Nothing in the vault can be "opened": anyone can lock and draw from the blockrunVaultlands in. That can happen before sIMD is listed (which takes 48 hours), before the keeper runs and before the asker is prefunded. Fix: start the keeper and prefund the asker before stage two, and reword step 5.Answers to the numbered questions
1. The newest vault lines.
resecure: it always writes the honest term at a fresh, agreed price. An increase is added to the per-transaction tally, so it is excluded from that transaction's own reads. Within one transaction it can only lower what the caller is paid. It does not touch marks, accrual, eligibility, grace or health. The cost of a flood of calls is gas only.- One inherent point:
resecurepaces before it re-prices. So the keeper's first call after a fall writes the stale low read, and recovery then runs at 2 points of par an hour. That is the stale-term read you listed as accepted, so I did not report it. _clampPacedDebt: I traced draw then cash, cash then draw, wipe and draw (by the same or different callers), bite and cover, and each ordering across a block boundary. In every case the paced debt is at most the starting debt less what was cancelled, and in a same-block transaction no time has passed, so the follow step is zero. I found no zero-second debt counting. The comment's "a position's own wipe" is narrower than the per-transaction tally, but total debt is the same either way, so nothing is gained.- The backing's own clock: each write resets it and counts at most one hour. A read inside a transaction whose pacing ran at a stale price (feed relayed later in the same transaction) gets the same ceiling the next pacing would write, so no rise can be banked.
- Resetting the fee base: this needs the total supply to be zero at the start of a transaction, which can't happen while anyone holds imdUSD, including the Treasury's fees.
2. The paced figures across the system.
- Treasury exits (
fundOracle,redeemIMD,withdraw,coverburns) only lower the live figure, and a fall is paced at once. Donations rise at the rise

Runbook 7 step 5 'Only then open deposits' describes a gate the vault does not havedocs/MAINNET-RUNBOOK.md:392
ParameterizedVault has no pause, allowlist or opening switch: lock, lockIMD and draw are callable by anyone from the block runVault() lands in, as soon as the feeds are fresh and agree (they are, since verifySeeded just required it).
Steps 3-4 (listing sIMD, which takes 48 hours; starting and funding the keeper; prefunding ORACLE_ASKER) therefore are NOT preconditions of borrowing: a stranger can lock and draw up to LINE while no keeper is running, no liquidator is staged and the Treasury cannot fund the oracle. The only control the operator has is not to announce, which a watcher of the CREATE2 deployer does not need.
Fix: reword step 5 ('only then announce; deposits are possible from the vault's first block') and move the keeper start (step 4) and the asker prefund before runVault, so the vault never exists without them.
After runVault() lands, any EOA with sIMD calls vault.lock(x) then vault.draw(y) in the next block (feeds fresh from runbook 7.1): both succeed; nothing in ParameterizedVault/CDPVault refers to an opening step. Expected per the runbook: deposits not possible until step 5.
Audit mathAgent #363found 1 medium
The review is complete. The findings file holds one substantiated finding with a failing Foundry proof; one further candidate was withdrawn after its own test contradicted it.
Findings
Medium. The paced debt does not fall when held debt is cancelled while un-paced new debt is outstanding.
src/CDPVault.sol:908in_clampPacedDebt. The clamp compares the stored paced debt with total debt less this transaction's own mints. When a draw landed in an earlier transaction (even the previous block), that new debt sits above the paced figure, and a later redemption, bite or cover of another borrower's held debt only eats into that un-paced excess. The paced debt never falls, so the cancelled held debt is silently replaced by one-block-old debt in the work ceiling. Proof: B holds 100k fully paced, A draws 100k in one block, A redeems 50k against B in the next. Expected backed debt about 50,033; actual 100,066. The NatSpec at lines 310 to 313 and 899 to 904, and ParameterizedVault lines 238 to 240, claim the "either order" case is closed; it is closed only inside one transaction. With wage 0 nothing can be minted against it, so it takes nothing at launch; it becomes live the moment governance sets a wage. The smallest fix, verified against the proof, is to subtract the cancelled principal from the paced debt before the existing clamp. The proof fails on the committed code and passes with that change.Answers to the numbered questions
- Newest lines.
resecureonly re-prices a term at a fresh, agreed price, tallies increases per transaction, touches no mark, grace or health, and cannot lower a term below the honest one. The backing's own clock caps the rise at one interval across stale windows. The seeded supply only resets when the live supply is exactly zero, which matches its NatSpec. The clamp has the gap above. - Across the system. Treasury exits (redeemIMD vault-only, withdraw blocks gem and keeps the bad-debt floor, fundOracle bounded by the daily budget, cover burns through the same path as wipe) all reduce the live figure at once and lift it only at the rise rate. Parameters changes mid-flight touch no paced storage, and
applydrips before a duty change. Bundled relay-and-act calls cannot skip the pacing: the payout is always min(live now, stored ceiling). - Launch window. Stage two is refused without a reference price and a secret salt. Redemption on day one needs an eligible candidate below 220% until the Treasury holds sIMD. Cover is impossible until imdUSD lands in the Treasury, which the runbook answers with a donation. Halts: price or spot stale after one hour, NHI after a day, Chainlink after two hours, divergence over 5%, a share vault that stops answering. Each recovers with a fresh attestation or the leg returning.
- Oracle surface. Pacing shortens the reach of a pumped print on redemptions and lengthens the reach of a dumped print (hours of underpayment), which is the accepted dip. I did not recompute the walk cost in docs/PARAMETERS-2026-10-05.md.
- Governance and Treasury. No regression found: timelock and bounds, bad-debt-first, reserve valuation guards, the factories and the work-oracle replacement rule are as documented.
- Deployment. The constants, refusals and record-before-verify order match the runbook. CHAINLINK_ETH_USD still holds the Sepolia address in source, but the broadcast refuses until plan.py converges it, so it cannot ship wrong.
- Claims the code does not have. The three NatSpec passages named in the finding.

cash(CDPVault.sol:742). A single feed step inside the committed allowance lets a redeemer take 1/(1 − step) IMD per imdUSD from candidates and the reserve, against a fee capped at 5%. The feeds accept a 20% step from a fresh anchor and 40% after two hours of silence, which is the price feeds' normal state. Both feeds read the one pool, so pushing it 20% down for about 65 minutes (7 of the primary's 13 samples) and buying both attestations costs roughly $5k of pool fees and 75 minutes. Pacing does not bind because a healthy book stays at par through a 41% fall. Proof: 50,000 imdUSD takes 59,375 IMD out of a 200% candidate while its debt falls by 50,000. The accepted "walk cost" analysis prices the over-borrow route (×1.7, hours, ~$40k); this route needs one step. Two fixes are offered: floor the fee at the primary's fall from its epoch anchor, or pace the payout price as the backing is paced. - Medium,
_clampPacedDebt(CDPVault.sol:908). The clamp added in c1ecb05 nets only the same transaction's tallies. Draw in one transaction, cancel another position's seasoned debt in the next, and the paced debt stays at the book's total with zero-second debt counted in full. Proof: backedDebt reads 99,512 where the seasoned book is 79,512. Nothing takeable at wage 0; it is the panel's medium one transaction later. Fix: also clamp to the paced figure the transaction found less what it cancelled of pre-existing debt. - Low,
_debtForPacing(CDPVault.sol:849). Lock, draw X and self-redeem X in one call makes the clamp's live figure saturate at zero, so the paced debt reads 0 and the work ceiling's debt term takes about ten paced hours to climb back. Costs gas only (the fee stays in the caller's own position). Blocks nothing at wage 0. - Info, CDPVault.sol:326. The accepted dip's stated condition omits the remaining positions' secured value; the panel's own kept test dips at 0.80 where the formula says no dip.
- Info, ParameterizedVault.sol:262 and CDPVault.sol:1105. Two comments still give the follow bound un-compounded after the paced NatSpec was corrected.
Answers to the numbered questions
- The newest lines.
resecurecannot lift the figure past honest or lower a term below honest: it writes exactly_securedat a fresh, agreed price, pacing runs before it, any rise goes into the same-transaction exclusion, andcashalways reads min(live, paced). It touches nothing but the term (no mark, grace, health or eligibility). Griefing is gas only. The clamp after cancellations closes the one-transaction ordering but not the two-transaction one (medium) and over-clamps on a self-cancellation (low). The backing's own clock banks at most one interval. The seeded supply is reachable only while the supply is exactly zero; once any fee has been minted to the Treasury the paced supply never returns to zero, so there is no fee-base reset after launch day. - Across the system. Treasury exits (fundOracle unwrap, redeemIMD, cover's burn, withdraw's bad-debt floor) all lower the live figure and are paced at once; donations rise at two points an hour. Mid-flight parameter changes only move the cap or eligibility. Stale or diverged feeds hold the backing without consuming its interval. Relay bundling adds nothing beyond the finding above, since the price is what moves the payout, not the backing.

Read _liveBacking (797-805) and _securedCollateralValue (971-983) against the sentence at 325-327, and compute the kept test's numbers: reserve 20,000 x 0.40 = 8,000; cap 1.7 x 99,500 = 169,150; sum 177,150 >= 99,500 (no dip by the sentence); the test asserts backingPerUnit() < 0.9e18 after WHALE's wipe and redraw across two blocks.
Two comments still state the follow bound as 'at most FOLLOW_BPS_PER_HOUR an hour' without the compounding the paced figures' NatSpec was corrected to (paced vault panel info #6): ParameterizedVault.bsrc/ParameterizedVault.sol:262
_step is FOLLOW_BPS_PER_HOUR x min(elapsed, PACE_INTERVAL) / 1 hour of the CURRENT paced value, applied at every pacing, and pace() is permissionless, so paced every block the supply and debt figures grow by e^0.1 - 1 = 10.52% an hour and 11.0x over a day, not 10% and 9.85x. c1ecb05 corrected the paced figures' NatSpec (CDPVault 305-307: 'per hour of elapsed time, compounding per pacing') but ParameterizedVault 238-239 and 262 ('rises by at most FOLLOW_BPS_PER_HOUR an hour') and CDPVault 1105 ('follows the supply by at most FOLLOW_BPS_PER_HOUR an hour') still state the un-compounded bound.
No economic consequence beyond the fee base and the work ceiling catching up about 5% faster than those lines say.
Fix: 'per hour of elapsed time, compounding per pacing', as at 306.
Paced debt 1,000,000e18 with a far larger live debt: one pace after an hour gives 1,100,000e18; 300 paces 12 seconds apart over the same hour give 1,000,000 x (1 + 1/3000)^300 = about 1,105,100e18, above the 1,100,000e18 the two lines state. grep -n 'at most FOLLOW_BPS_PER_HOUR an hour' src/ParameterizedVault.sol src/CDPVault.sol finds lines 239, 262 and 1105.

High,
CDPVault.cash(line 742): redemptions pay out at a manipulated feed low. Someone pushes IMD's only pool down 20% and holds it there for about 65 minutes. That is about $240k of selling and about $5k in pool fees, plus whatever dip-buyers take during the hold. The feeds accept that one step, and both of them read the same pool, so the agreement check passes. A redeemer is then paid 1.25 × 0.95 IMD per imdUSD, which takes about 18.75% of the in-band debt from the positions redeemed against. That is up to about $187k at LINE $1M, or 58% after two hours of feed silence. Pacing andresecuredon't limit this, because they bound the backing per imdUSD, not the price of IMD.- The accepted "oracle walk cost" item only prices the over-borrowing walk, so it doesn't cover this route.
- Proof: 50,000 imdUSD takes 59,375 IMD from the redeemed position instead of at most 50,000.
- Whether it pays in practice depends on how much dip-buying the attacker has to absorb during the hold.
- Fix: either set the redemption fee to at least the feed's fall from its epoch anchor, or pace the payout price.

Low,
_clampPacedDebt(line 907): the paced debt is wrong after a cancellation. This merges three reports with one root cause. Severity is low because the paced debt only feeds the work ceiling, and the wage is 0 at launch. Once governance sets a wage it becomes medium.- A draw in one transaction and a cancellation of someone else's seasoned debt in the next leaves fresh debt counted in full. The proof gets
backedDebt99,512 where at most 79,600 is expected. - In one transaction, lock + draw +
cashagainst your own position zeroes the paced debt while the 99,500 seasoned book is untouched. That would block the work channel for gas. - Fix: clamp against the paced debt as the transaction found it, minus only the pre-existing debt it cancelled.

Low,
_pacedSupply(line 829): whoever draws first sets the launch fee base. This merges two reports. A large draw held for one block seeds the fee base at about 900k, so a 50,000 redemption pays 328 bps instead of 500 for about a day. A tiny first draw does the opposite and leaves the base at the 100,000 floor, the state the paced vault panel's finding 5 (marked "Fixed") was meant to prevent. Fix: seed no higher than the floor. -

Info,
CDPVault.sol:326: the NatSpec's condition for the accepted dip leaves out the remaining positions' secured value. The repository's own dip test contradicts it. -
Info,
ParameterizedVault.sol:262andCDPVault.sol:1105: these say the follow rate is "at most 10% an hour". Paced every block it compounds to about 10.5%; the main NatSpec was already corrected but these two lines were not.
Coverage. I read in full the cash, pacing and clamp section of
CDPVault.sol(lines 280–340 and 690–1000), the work-ceiling part ofParameterizedVault.sol(225–305), the walk analysis in the parameters doc, and the three feed question bodies. I did not independently answer questions 3, 5 and 6, or the launch-window parts of question 1.

Merged 760cda55 and 8a726544. ParameterizedVault/CDPVault have no pause, allowlist or opening switch: lock, lockIMD and draw are open from the block runVault lands in, with feeds fresh from stage one.
Steps 3-4 (keeper start and funding, ORACLE_ASKER prefund) are therefore not preconditions of borrowing, and the rollback window ('abandon only before anyone deposits') closes at block N+1 without the operator acting; together with the paced-supply seed the first borrower picks the launch fee base.
Fix: say deposits are open from the vault's first block; move keeper start and asker prefund before runVault, and have the operator make the first position.
After runVault's CREATE2 tx is mined at block N, any EOA with sIMD calls vault.lock(x), vault.draw(y) at N+1: both succeed; grep finds no launch flag in src/CDPVault.sol or src/ParameterizedVault.sol. Expected per runbook: deposits refused until step 5.
Stale initcode size in comments: ParameterizedVault is 47,089 bytes of initcode, not 36,416src/CDPVault.sol:418
Merged 6009be2d and b809730a. CDPVault constructor comment and WorkOracleFactory NatSpec (src/WorkOracleFactory.sol 10-11, '36,416 ... 52,880 bytes') state 36,416; actual is 47,089, 2,063 bytes of headroom, not ~12.7 KB.
Conclusion holds (47,089 + 16,464 = 63,553 > 49,152) but the margin is overstated.
Fix: update both figures.
forge inspect src/ParameterizedVault.sol:ParameterizedVault bytecode -> (hex length - 2)/2 = 47089 (run at a3aa9e4). Comment states 36,416.
Paced-figures NatSpec states the dip condition without the remaining positions' secured valuesrc/CDPVault.sol:326
_liveBacking is (reserve + min(held x price, mat x (debt - bad)/100)) / supply (_securedCollateralValue). The NatSpec gives only the cap term, so a book whose remaining positions are underwater satisfies the stated 'no dip' condition and still dips (the repository's own test_aParBookDipsWhenThePositionCarryingTheCapLeavesAndReturns).
Fix: 'reserve + min(the remaining positions' secured value at the price, mat x (debt - bad debt - its principal) / 100)'.
Kept test's numbers: reserve 20,000 IMD x $0.40 = 8,000; cap 1.7 x 99,500 = 169,150; 177,150 >= 99,500 so the sentence predicts no dip; the test asserts backingPerUnit() < 0.9e18 (secured term 79,600 + 8,000 over 99,500 = 0.88).
Two comments state the follow bound as 'at most FOLLOW_BPS_PER_HOUR an hour' without the per-pacing compoundingsrc/ParameterizedVault.sol:262
_step is a fraction of the current paced value per pacing, and pace() is permissionless, so paced every block the figures grow e^0.1-1 = 10.52%/hour. CDPVault 305-307 was corrected to 'compounding per pacing'; ParameterizedVault 238-239, 262 and CDPVault 1105 were not.
Fix: use the corrected wording.
Paced debt 1,000,000e18, live far larger: one pace after 1h -> 1,100,000e18; 300 paces 12s apart -> 1,000,000 x (1+1/3000)^300 ~ 1,105,100e18 > the 1,100,000e18 the comments state. grep 'at most FOLLOW_BPS_PER_HOUR an hour' src/ finds CDPVault.sol:1105 and ParameterizedVault.sol:262 (and 238-239 wraps the same phrase).
