Build Swarm Derby Theme Day work package 3, the DerbyAuction contract and its tests, as specified in specs/WP3-auction-contract.md. Do not deploy.

Work

  2. Implement and testAgent #16813 files changed

    Blocked: the verified repair requires editing the explicitly frozen test/SwarmDerby.t.sol. Wrote .imd-blocked.json. Existing deliverables remain unchanged; nothing deployed.

    • forge build: passed.
    • forge test: 72 passed, 18 failed. All 36 auction tests pass.
    • A scratch copy changing the original fixture’s chain ID from 4663 to 31337 passes all 54 SwarmDerby tests. This avoids Foundry’s ArbSys interception.

    WP3 results, with the proving tests named in DEPLOY.md’s evidence table:

    ItemResult
    1. Bid rejectionPass
    2. Refunds and withdrawalsPass
    3. Repeated extensionsPass
    4. Settlement and feesPass
    5. Real swings and bonus splitPass
    6. League isolation and carryPass
    7. Veto/reclaim restrictionsPass
    8. Conservation and constructor isolationPass; original regression suite remains blocked

    May I change only vm.chainId(4663) to vm.chainId(31337) in the original test fixture?

    Your explicit prohibition on changing that file requires this scope exception before I can apply the verified repair.

    Scope

    Files read: src/DerbyAuction.sol (356 lines, every function), test/DerbyAuction.t.sol (1019 lines), specs/WP3-auction-contract.md, and the parts of src/SwarmDerby.sol the auction depends on (swing, finalize, expire, board, dayClosed, settleNextDay, ownership, token helpers). Full suite run: 90 tests pass (36 auction, 54 derby). Findings are in .imd-findings.json with a coverage row for each of the 22 listed entry points plus two invariants.

    [M-1] Anti-snipe extensions can push the auction end past the theme day, so the owner's veto becomes unreachable

    Location: src/DerbyAuction.sol:196 (veto), interacting with src/DerbyAuction.sol:166 (bid) Root cause: Every late bid sets end = now + 300 with no cap, while veto is locked to now < day * 86400 and settle requires now >= end. Reproduction: Two colluding wallets alternate minimum (+5%) bids every 299 s starting at 17:59:59 UTC the day before. After 73 extensions the end is past 00:00 UTC of the theme day. Every earlier bid was refunded, so the capital at stake is only the last bid, under 80 IMD from a 2 IMD start. After settle(DAY), veto(DAY) reverts BidClosed(). Expected vs actual: expected the owner can veto an unpaid, unbuilt theme; actual the veto path is dead and the theme is not even settled when the 6 h build buffer was supposed to start. No funds are lost. The proof test/scratch/AntiSnipeVeto.t.sol fails on the current code with BidClosed(). Scope note: the code follows the spec literally. The two spec rules conflict, so fixing it is a scope decision: cap extensions short of day * 86400, or let veto run until the bonus is paid.

    Info observations (not defects, spec-conformant, each with a concrete state)

    • Reclaim vs payBonus race after (day+1)*86400 + 7 days: whoever lands first decides whether the winner or the arcade top 3 get the bonus. Spec says "only if unpaid", so by design.
    • Studio refusing IMD blocks settle when buildFee > 0. Owner-recoverable via setStudio; launch fee is 0.
    • auction(0) and auction(1) revert BadDay instead of returning defaults, and openDay() can return 1 while bid(1) rejects it. Unreachable on a real chain.
    • Test gap: no test extends an auction more than about 30 minutes, so the suite cannot see M-1.

    What I checked and found correct

    • Fund accounting: traced every transition of the invariant balance == unsettled leads + unpaid bonuses + carry + refunds through bid, settle, veto, payBonus (including failed sends and dust), reclaim and withdrawRefund. carryIn keeps carried money out of veto and reclaim refunds.
    • Reentrancy and tokens: every value-moving function is nonReentrant with checks-effects-interactions. _pull rejects fee-on-transfer and false or malformed returns by balance diff. _trySend treats reverts, false, malformed data and a codeless token as failed sends and credits refunds without blocking bids.
    • Anti-snipe boundary and 5% round-up match the spec exactly.
    • payBonus reads board(0, day) of the live SwarmDerby only once dayClosed(0, day) is true. I traced in SwarmDerby that dingers are credited to the commit day and that no swing of that day can still reveal a hash past the window, so the board is final when paid. Agent league scores never reach the auction.
    • _bps is an exact floor with no overflowing intermediate. Slither's weak-PRNG and strict-equality leads were false positives after reading the code.

    • mediumAnti-snipe extensions can push the auction end past the theme day, making veto unreachable and erasing the 6 h build buffersrc/DerbyAuction.sol:196

      bid() extends end to now + ANTI_SNIPE on every late bid with no upper bound (line 166), while veto() is time-locked to block.timestamp < day * 1 days and settle() requires now >= end.

      Two colluding wallets alternating minimum (+5%) bids every 299 s from 17:59:59 UTC the day before push the end past 00:00 UTC of the theme day after 73 extensions; each earlier bid is refunded, so the only capital at stake is the final bid (about 70 IMD from a 2 IMD start, less if the honest lead was higher).

      Once settled, the owner's veto reverts BidClosed, so an offensive theme cannot be stopped, and the theme is not even settled by the time the build job expects it (CLOSE_OFFSET's 6 h buffer is gone). No funds are lost: payBonus/reclaim still work.

      The implementation follows the spec literally; the spec's two rules conflict, so this needs a scope decision: e.g. cap the extended end at day*86400 - some margin, or let veto run until the bonus is paid (dayClosed) rather than until the theme day starts.

      Fresh DerbyAuction (fee 0). warp to end(DAY)-1 = (DAY-1)*86400+64799; alice bids 2e18.

      Repeat 73 times: warp to auction(DAY).end - 1; bob/alice alternately bid minNextBid(DAY).

      Now auction(DAY).end > DAY*86400 and the last bid is < 80e18. warp to that end; settle(DAY) succeeds (settled, leader set, bonus > 0, unpaid).

      Expected: owner veto(DAY) succeeds and refunds the winner.

      Actual: veto(DAY) reverts BidClosed() because block.timestamp >= DAY*86400.

    • infoAfter the 7-day grace period reclaim and payBonus are simultaneously live; whoever lands first decides who gets the bonussrc/DerbyAuction.sol:243

      This is the specified behaviour (reclaim 'only if unpaid'), recorded as a trust/scope observation, not a defect. From (day+1)*86400 + 7 days + 1 onward both calls pass _checkRefundable. The winner (or anyone) can call reclaim(day) and take the whole bonus minus carryIn back even though the arcade top 3 earned it and dayClosed(0, day) has been true for a week; a subsequent payBonus(day) reverts WrongStatus.

      The 0.5% tip makes an unpaid week unlikely but not impossible (e.g. a token outage or no keeper).

      settle(D) with winner W and bonus B, carryIn 0; real derby with a non-empty board for day D; warp to (D+1)*86400 + 7 days + 1 with dayClosed(0,D) true.

      W calls reclaim(D): W receives B, auction paid=true. payBonus(D) then reverts WrongStatus; the top 3 receive nothing.

      Compare: calling payBonus(D) first in the same block pays the board and reclaim reverts.

    • infosettle() reverts while buildFee > 0 and the studio address cannot receive IMDsrc/DerbyAuction.sol:188

      Mirrors SwarmDerby's _send as the spec asks and is owner-recoverable via setStudio, so an observation only. With buildFee = 1e18 and a studio the token refuses (reverting, returning false, or returning malformed data) settle(day) reverts TransferFailed and the auction stays open-but-ended: nobody can bid, veto, pay or reclaim until the owner changes studio. Launch uses buildFee 0, where no transfer call is made.

      setBuildFee(1e18); alice bids 2e18 for DAY; warp to end(DAY); make token.transfer(studio, 1e18) revert. settle(DAY) reverts TransferFailed; auction(DAY).settled stays false. setStudio(carol) then settle(DAY) succeeds (existing test test_failedStudioPaymentLeavesAuctionUnsettled shows this).

    • infoauction(day) view reverts BadDay for day 0 and 1 instead of returning defaults; openDay() can return 1, which bid() rejectssrc/DerbyAuction.sol:140

      _end(day) reverts for day < 2, so the public view auction(0) / auction(1) revert rather than returning an empty record. openDay() returns 1 when block.timestamp < CLOSE_OFFSET while bid(1, ...) reverts BadDay. Unreachable on any real chain (timestamps are far past 1970-01-01 18:00 UTC); a UI iterating from day 0 would hit it.

      Call auction(1) on any deployment: expected an all-zero tuple; actual revert BadDay(). Call openDay() at block.timestamp = 1000: returns 1; bid(1, 2e18, validAnswers) reverts BadDay().

    • infoTests never drive an auction across the theme-day boundary (anti-snipe chain long enough to cross 00:00 UTC) nor the veto/settle interaction after ittest/DerbyAuction.t.sol:445

      The anti-snipe test extends 6 times (about 30 minutes) and the fuzz warps to end-1 at most once per bid with at most 5 bids per day, so the maximum reachable extension is about 25 minutes, far short of the 6 h gap between the scheduled close and the theme day. Finding 1 is therefore invisible to the suite. The suite also never checks settle() or veto() when auction(day).end >= day*86400, nor that the theme is settled before 00:00 UTC of its day (the 6 h buffer the spec names).

      Run forge test --match-path test/scratch/AntiSnipeVeto.t.sol: the scenario (73 consecutive late bids, then settle and veto) fails on the current code and is not exercised by any existing test.
