#1979Scaffold projectClaude56 files changedrevised
I've built imd-mock, a local mock of the IMD paid-request API, and committed it as one commit on
main(c7428a0).npm testpasses all 80 tests, including after deletingnode_modulesand reinstalling withnpm ci --offline. Running it withnpxfrom the git repo installed it without a build step, and the conformance suite passed 20 of 20. I couldn't try the literalnpx github:<owner>/<repo>because the repo has no GitHub remote. It goes through the same git install path, so it should behave the same.What it does
- Routes: all seven you listed, plus a canned
POST /requests/importand a page at/that shows the experimental banner. Any request with a browserOriginheader gets 403. Orders and jobs can only be read with the bearer token that created them. - Paid submit: without payment it returns the 402 challenge with the fields you specified. With payment it requires the exact payment object (any extra or missing field is
invalid_payment_shape). It then checks every Permit2 field against the quote, recovers the signer of both the Permit2 and QuoteApproval signatures, and blocks reuse of a nonce. A refused payment changes nothing, so the order can still be paid. - Flaky mode (
--flaky):/requests/checkrefuses each distinct body once, then answers normally. - Statuses: there are no timers. Each poll moves an order one step (
admission_pending→running→completed, orrefused), so tests always see the same sequence. - Test data: fixed public test keys, and
fixtures/vectors.json, which holds one complete signed payment so clients in any language can compare their bytes. - Conformance:
npm run conformancestarts its own mock and runs the 20 checks;--urlpoints it at a server that's already running.
How the acceptance criteria are covered
- Signed payment accepted, any single change refused:
test/payment.test.tshas one test per case. That covers every field of the payment, thequoteSignature, all ten QuoteApproval fields, and Permit2 authorizations that are validly signed but have a wrong field. - Flaky mode: five tests in
test/server.test.ts, plus a run of the conformance suite against a flaky mock. - Experimental label: at the top of the README, in
--help, on the site banner, and printed when the server starts. The README ends with the commissioning line. - README: it says plainly that this is a mock and has a "What the mock does not reproduce" section. That covers: no chain, balances or settlement; stand-in actions; a mock payTo; canned verdicts; and response details I had to choose myself.
Decisions you might not expect
- No runtime dependencies. I wrote keccak256, secp256k1 signing and recovery, and EIP-712 hashing myself. Their output matched viem byte for byte (hashes, addresses, signatures and both typed-data digests) and reproduces the signature from the EIP-712 spec example. The code is not constant-time, which the README notes; only use it with the published test keys.
- Committed build output.
dist/is committed sonpxruns it without building. The build script is namedcompilerather thanbuild, because abuildorpreparescript would makenpx github:install dev dependencies and build first, which needs the network. - Vendored dev tools. TypeScript and its Node type definitions are committed as tarballs in
vendor/npm/(4.7 MB) so installs work offline. - Shapes I had to invent. The flow doesn't pin down some details:
accepts[0].extra, error codes for refusals,requesterScopeHash(here sha256 of the token) and how ids are made. The README lists all of these as mock choices. - Stand-in actions.
echocompletes immediately with a 200;implementreturns 202 and runs a job. Any input containing[refuse]gets a refusal.

Only echo and implement exist in ACTIONS. All production action names, including job.open and schedule.create, fail before a challenge can be obtained. Existing IMD clients therefore cannot test their integrations by changing the API URL.
The conformance suite also uses only these invented actions. Canned execution can preserve the real action names and input schemas.
Reference: https://imd.fun/docs/#paid .
Inherited property names bypass the strict payment shape checksrc/verify.ts:72
The
inoperator accepts Object.prototype property names as if they were declared payment fields. A client can include constructor, toString or an own proto property and still complete payment. This violates the explicit requirement that extra fields at any depth fail as invalid_payment_shape; the ordinary extra-field tests do not cover these names.Capabilities use an incompatible action and payment schemasrc/server.ts:133
The API returns action objects with payment terms and quoteTtlSeconds, plus launches metadata; the mock returns action-name strings and flat price fields. A client cannot perform the required capability comparison using the production schema. The conformance assertions in src/conformance.ts:61-66 instead enforce the incompatible flat fields.
References: https://api.imd.fun/requests/capabilities and https://imd.fun/docs/#paid .
GET /requests/capabilities on a fresh mock.
Actual actions is ["echo","implement"]; evaluating response.actions[0].payment.amount throws TypeError, and response.launches is undefined.
Expected action entries expose action, payment.amount, payment.asset, payment.payTo and quoteTtlSeconds, and launches.chains describes launch support.
Confirmed against the public live capabilities GET as well as the reference.
Order polling omits the admission status and result envelopesrc/server.ts:322
The documented status route provides top-level status, payment and admission, reaching admitted with admission.result links. This route returns only order and uses running/completed instead. A production client reads undefined status or cannot obtain the admitted job, while the bundled client and conformance suite hide the defect by reading order.status and order.jobId.
Reference: https://imd.fun/docs/#paid .
Identical paid-submit retries return already_paid instead of the existing resultsrc/server.ts:246
A lost response is recoverable by resending the same payment bytes in the documented flow. This guard rejects every retry after the first submission advances the order, before it can identify an identical payment. The existing conformance case tests a newly signed second payment, which is different from retrying the first one.
Reference: https://imd.fun/docs/#paid .
On a fresh mock, quote echo with input {message:"hello"}, obtain the 402 challenge, and use signPayment(challenge,TEST_PAYER_KEY,{nonce:"123"}).
POST its paymentHeader and {quoteSignature:signed.quoteSignature} twice to the same /requests/{id}/submit using the same bearer and identical bytes.
Actual: first 200 completed, second 409 already_paid.
Expected: the second call returns the existing outcome without a second settlement; it must remain usable when the first HTTP response was lost.
Check verdicts omit the fields production clients use for admission preflightsrc/server.ts:166
The documented check result exposes action, blockers and suggestions; the mock substitutes verdict and reasons in both normal and flaky modes. Consequently a production preflight parser cannot determine whether to retry a refusal or proceed. ImdClient.check and the conformance test assert the substitute shape, so they do not catch this mismatch.
Reference: https://imd.fun/docs/#paid .
Start with flaky:true and POST /requests/check twice with {"action":"echo","input":{"message":"hello"}}.
Actual first response: 200 {"verdict":"refuse","reasons":["evaluator noise (flaky mode): the same body will be accepted on retry"]}; second: 200 {"verdict":"accept","reasons":[]}.
Neither response has action, blockers or suggestions.
Expected the documented fields, with a blocker on the first response and no blocker on retry; response.blockers.length currently throws on both responses.
Public job reads incorrectly require the private request bearersrc/server.ts:467
The documented GET /jobs/:id endpoint is public, but routing it through scopeOf requires the order bearer and getJob additionally enforces its scope. Clients that follow an admitted job URL without forwarding the private request token fail against the mock. The bundled ImdClient always sends its token, hiding the discrepancy.
Reference: https://imd.fun/docs/#jobs .

#1850Adversarial reviewClaudeno findings
afterScaffold projectThe review is complete. Every finding from the previous round is fixed, and the findings file holds an empty list.
Prior findings, all confirmed fixed by rerunning the original reproductions against the committed dist modules:
- Documented actions rejected (high). Quote and check now accept all seven live actions. The job.open body from the reproduction returns 201, and schedule.create with 3 runs prices at 3 x 0.5 IMD.
- Inherited property names bypass the shape check. A payment carrying constructor, an own proto key, or toString now fails with 400 invalid_payment_shape. The check uses Object.hasOwn, and a conformance case covers it.
- Capabilities schema. Actions are objects with action, version, payment terms and quoteTtlSeconds, and launches.chains is present.
- Order polling envelope. GET /requests/{id} returns top-level status, order, payment and admission, moving admission_pending to admitted with admission.result carrying jobId and URLs.
- Identical paid-submit retries. Resending the same header and body returns the stored first outcome with a payment-replayed header and settles nothing twice. A freshly signed second payment still gets 409.
- Check verdict fields. Flaky mode returns action, blockers and suggestions, with an evaluator_noise blocker on the first call and none on retry.
- Public job reads. GET /jobs/{id} and /jobs/{id}/result return 200 without any bearer.
What else I checked and found correct. The committed dist is byte-identical to a fresh compile. All 93 unit tests and all 22 conformance checks pass, in normal and flaky mode. Adversarial probes on the verifier behaved as a real server would: recovery id 0/1 accepted and 29 refused, cross-order payment reuse refused as payment_mismatch, a from address that differs from the signer refused, a QuoteApproval signed by another key refused, non-empty extensions and a non-canonical nonce refused as shape errors, an expired quote returns 410, and a replay from another bearer returns 404. The README carries the experimental label at the top and the commission line at the end.
No new defects were found, so no revision is needed.
