• 1.mediumCurve buy wrapped in an outside PoolManager unlock skips the holder-tax distribution, so the buyer is later credited most of its own holder taxlaunchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:314

              PadToken(coin).distribute();

  BondingCurve.buy relies on ordering to keep buyers from earning on their own trade: _routeFees sends the holder share to the coin and calls PadToken.distribute() before coin.safeTransfer(recipient, out) (comment at BondingCurve.sol:226). PadToken.distribute() (PadToken.sol:81) returns without crediting whenever poolManager.isUnlocked() && msg.sender != hook (D-27).

  A curve buy paid in IMD never touches the PoolManager, so any contract can call PoolManager.unlock and, inside its unlockCallback, PadRouter.buyWith(coin, IMD, ...): the buy succeeds, the holder IMD sits unaccounted on the token (balance > accountedImd), and the buyer receives its tokens. After the unlock the buyer (or anyone, including a later claim()) calls distribute(), which now splits that IMD over eligibleSupply including the buyer's fresh balance.

  The buyer recovers (its share of eligible supply) x (holder tax of its own buy); the holders who should have received all of it are shorted by the same amount. The same applies to sells made inside an unlock.

  Cost: one wrapper contract, no flash loan; repeatable on every trade. Bounded by the coin tax (<= 3% of the trade) times the buyer's share, which is large early on the curve (88% for a 1,000 IMD buy after 100 IMD raised).

  This is not a profitable enter-and-exit play on its own (round-trip fees exceed the recapture), so invariant 6's flash-capture guarantee stands; it is a fee discount at holders' expense that contradicts the curve's documented rule and weakens invariant 4 for the holder part. Side effect of the same path: a completing buy done this way leaves the coin in Status.Full (separate Low finding).

  Merged from four specialist reports (ids 780a902d, aac884d0, 5f5ae0e1, b84aedca); all four proofs fail on this code for this reason.

  Fix (any one): (a) in BondingCurve.buy and sell revert when poolManager.isUnlocked() (the router's own payment-route unlock has already ended when it calls the curve, so no legitimate path is affected; the Full/graduate() fallback of D-28 becomes a safety valve); or (b) a curve-only entry point in PadToken that credits the holder amount synchronously (safe only because the curve excludes itself and transfers after crediting; if an outside pool for a curve-phase coin (D-29) is a concern, prefer (a)).

  Deferring the holder share to the next trade is not a fix: the wrapped buyer would still hold tokens when it is credited. Do not simply let distribute() run for msg.sender == curve while unlocked without considering flash-borrowed tokens from an outside pool of the same coin (D-29).

  Invariants checked: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

  whole finding

  Mainnet settings (target 4,000 IMD, D-76), coin launched with CoinFees(300, 0, 10000, 0), 1 hour after launch. alice buys 100 IMD through PadRouter (only holder).

  Attacker contract W: pm.unlock(data); in unlockCallback: router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 1000e18, 0, block.timestamp, address(0)).

  Holder tax of W's buy = 30 IMD; during the call PadToken.distribute() returns early.

  After the unlock, anyone calls PadToken.distribute().

  Expected (unwrapped buy, BondingCurve.sol:226): alice is credited the full 30 IMD, W 0.

  Actual: withdrawableDividendOf(W) == 27994867607605272366 (27.99 IMD), alice 5005132392394727633 (which includes alice's own deferred 3 IMD from being the first buyer).

  Run: forge test --match-path test/scratch/Proof_HolderTaxSelfCapture.t.sol (fails with 'buyer earned from its own buy: 27994867607605272366 != 0'; passes once curve trades revert under a foreign unlock or the holder share is credited before the transfer).

• 2.lowA curve completed inside an outside PoolManager unlock stays Full; router buys and sells revert until someone calls graduate()launchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:238

              if (!poolManager.isUnlocked()) _graduate(coin, c);

  When the completing buy runs inside an outside PoolManager unlock (same wrapper as the Medium finding, or an aggregator wrapping PondPad), the curve sets Status.Full and skips _graduate (D-28). In that state buy and sell revert NotTrading and no pool exists yet, so holders cannot sell and nobody can buy until a separate transaction calls BondingCurve.graduate(coin).

  PadRouter does not call graduate() when it sees Status.Full, and the threat model treats keepers as 'may never call'.

  Nothing is lost: graduate() is permissionless and succeeds from any EOA. Liveness only; the attacker gains nothing beyond briefly halting the coin.

  Fix: in PadRouter.buyWith/_sell, when curve.statusOf(coin) == Full and !poolManager.isUnlocked(), call curve.graduate(coin) and route to the pool; or adopt fix (a) of the Medium finding, after which this state is unreachable.

  Testnet settings (target 2,060 IMD), no-tax coin, 1 hour after launch.

  Wrapper contract: pm.unlock('') -> in unlockCallback router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 5000e18, 0, deadline, address(0)).

  Result: curve.statusOf(coin) == Full (2). alice's router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 1e18, ...) reverts NotTrading; sells would too. curve.graduate(coin) from any EOA graduates and router buys work again.

  Reproduced in test/scratch/Judge.t.sol::test_fullUnderOutsideUnlock (passes, i.e. the state is reachable exactly as described).

  Expected from a user's point of view: trading continues without a manual step.

• 3.lowAfter graduation the router flushes holder fees after the buyer already holds the tokens, so pool buyers are credited a share of their own holder tax (asymmetric with the curve)launchpad/contracts/src/PadRouter.sol:108

              _flushFees(coin, referrer);

  On the curve the holder share is distributed before the buyer receives tokens (BondingCurve.sol:226). In the pool path PadRouter.buyWith runs _execute (the swap takes the coin to msg.sender inside the router's unlock) and only then _flushFees -> PadHook.flush -> _flush -> PadToken.distribute() with msg.sender == hook, so the buyer's new balance is part of eligibleSupply when its own holder tax is credited.

  Every router buy therefore hands the buyer back (balance / eligibleSupply) x (holder part of its fee) and existing holders get less than the coin's advertised holder tax.

  The same flush also distributes holder fees left pending by outside routers (which do not flush) to whoever holds at that moment; a buy-flush-sell in one transaction captures a pro rata share of those, but it costs two trade fees, so it is only profitable when un-flushed outside volume is in the thousands of IMD; invariant 6's flash-loan guarantee is not broken. This is inherent to D-27's 'flush later' design, so fixing it means deciding the rule.

  Options: call hook.flush(coin) before _execute as well as after (pending fees from earlier trades then go to pre-trade holders), and either document that a pool buyer shares in its own holder tax, or credit the current trade's holder share against the eligible supply snapshotted in beforeSwap for router trades. Merged from three specialist reports (4fcb35d4, 68590c5d, f2e27e0d); the attached specialist proof fails on this code as stated.

  whole finding

  Testnet settings, coin CoinFees(300, 0, 10000, 0), curve filled from fresh wallets so it graduates (IMD ordering irrelevant). alice holds nothing and withdrawableDividendOf(alice) == 0. alice calls router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 1000e18, 0, deadline, address(0)); holder tax on her buy = 30 IMD.

  Expected (curve rule): withdrawableDividendOf(alice) == 0 right after.

  Actual: 2194799215355508181 (2.19 IMD = her 63.1M tokens / 863.1M eligible x 30 IMD).

          fee = (grossIn * FeeLib.totalBps(c.fees)) / BPS;

  quoteBuy caps out at the remaining curve supply (line 365) but computes fee and snipe on grossIn, whereas buy() (lines 199-209) shrinks gross to grossNeeded for a completing buy, charges fee and snipe on that smaller amount and refunds the rest. The quoted tokens are exact; the quoted fee and snipe are overstated by grossIn / grossNeeded and the quote gives no sign of the refund.

  PadLens.quoteBuy forwards it as the 'total fee' in the trade box, so the site shows a fee several times the real one on the completing buy and an integrator budgeting from the quote mis-estimates. No funds at risk (the trade charges the right amount).

  Fix: in quoteBuy, when out > remaining, compute netNeeded/grossNeeded exactly as buy() does and return fee and snipe on grossNeeded (and optionally a refund amount); surface the refund in PadLens.quoteBuy. Merged from three specialist reports (fb61d665, c84a8303, e3099bd5). Invariant 9 (quote exactness) checked.

  Actual: 125 IMD quoted.

          if (msg.sender != relay && msg.sender != creatorVault.recipientOf(r.coin)) revert Unauthorized();

  release(id, jobId) records a swarm job id, which implies the relay submits (and pays for) the job before it calls release to take the reserved IMD. Nothing stops the requester (the coin's fee recipient) from calling cancel(id) in between: the reservation is freed and the later release reverts RequestClosed, so the relay hot wallet paid the job from its own funds. Repeatable once per request up to maxRequest (100 IMD).

  Only the relay is harmed; user funds are not. Mitigation is operational (release before submitting the job) or in code: an accept(id) step by the relay after which only the relay can cancel, or a short delay before a requester cancel takes effect.

  Coin with CoinFees(300, 0, 0, 10000); alice buys 2,000 IMD so available(coin) >= 50 IMD.

  Fee recipient (creator) calls requestSpend(coin, 50e18, specHash) -> id 0, reservedOf[coin] = 50e18.

  Relay submits the job off-chain. creator calls cancel(0) (allowed: msg.sender == creatorVault.recipientOf(coin)), reservedOf back to 0.

  Relay calls release(0, 'job-123'): reverts RequestClosed().

  Expected: relay receives 50 IMD for the job it already paid; actual: nothing.

          imd.safeTransfer(to, amount);

  When a takeover set recipientOf[coin] = coin (fees to holders, D-52), claim(coin) transfers the IMD to the token contract but never calls PadToken.distribute(), unlike SwarmBudget.sweepToHolders and the curve/hook holder paths.

  The IMD stays as balanceOf(coin) - accountedImd until anyone calls distribute(); a coin with no holder tax has no automatic caller, so it can sit for a long time, and whoever buys right before calling distribute() shares in it (bounded by round-trip fees, not a flash-loan capture). No loss of funds.

  Fix: in claim, after the transfer, if (to == coin) PadToken(coin).distribute(); (a no-op inside a foreign unlock, as elsewhere).

  Coin with CoinFees(0,0,0,0); alice buys 100 IMD; the CTO module address (set at CreatorVault.initialize) calls ctoSetRecipient(coin, coin); bob buys 100 IMD (0.5 IMD creator fee credited).

  Anyone calls CreatorVault.claim(coin).

  Expected: holders' withdrawableDividendOf grows by their share of 0.5 IMD.

  Actual: imd.balanceOf(coin) - PadToken(coin).accountedImd() == 0.5e18 and withdrawableDividendOf(alice) == 0 until some caller invokes distribute(), after which alice is credited.

  During the max-buy window BondingCurve.buy caps a wallet at maxBuyTokens (2% of supply at the deployed settings) and reverts MaxBuyExceeded above it, but the lens quote neither caps nor flags it and returns fullFill = true. An integrator trusting the quote submits a transaction that reverts. Otherwise the curve quote matches buy() (same formulas and rounding) except for the completing-buy fee (separate Low).

  Fix: return or clamp against maxBuyTokens - boughtInWindow[coin][wallet] while block.timestamp < launchedAt + maxBuyWindow, or document that fullFill ignores the per-wallet cap.

  initialize() approves the hook for type(uint256).max IMD, but _graduate pushes IMD with imd.safeTransfer(hook, poolImd) (line 289) and PadHook contains no transferFrom on IMD (grep over src/PadHook.sol: no match). The allowance is dead surface: every coin's raised IMD (invariant 1) sits behind a standing approval to another contract. Harmless with the current immutable hook; remove the approval so the curve's IMD can only leave through buy, sell and _graduate.

  Merged from four specialist reports.

  After the Base test deployment (curve.initialize(...)), imd.allowance(address(curve), address(hook)) == type(uint256).max (test/scratch/Judge.t.sol::test_allowanceDead passes) while grep -n transferFrom src/PadHook.sol returns nothing. Expected: no standing allowance from the contract that holds all pre-graduation IMD.

• 9.infoPadHook.flush / flushIntegrator 'router inside an unlock' branch is unreachable, and would be a hole if it ever became reachablelaunchpad/contracts/src/PadHook.sol:341

              if (msg.sender == router) _flush(coin);

  The branch runs _flush (which calls PadToken.distribute with msg.sender == hook, i.e. past the D-27 gate) when the PoolManager is unlocked and the caller is the router. PadRouter only calls hook.flush / flushIntegrator in buyWith and _sell after _execute, and _execute calls poolManager.unlock, which reverts AlreadyUnlocked when an outside caller holds the lock, so msg.sender == router with isUnlocked() == true cannot happen today.

  If a later router version or another contract registered as router ever called flush from within a foreign unlock, holder dividends would be distributed while an outsider can hold flash-borrowed pool tokens, which is exactly what D-27 prevents. Suggest removing the branch (the router already flushes after its unlock) or asserting !poolManager.isUnlocked() before _flush.

  Static: PadRouter.sol lines 107-108 and 160-161 call _execute (PaymentSwapper.sol:104 poolManager.unlock) before _flushFees; PoolManager.unlock reverts AlreadyUnlocked when already unlocked, so the condition at PadHook.sol:340-341 (and 349-350) is never true for the router. Expected: no code path distributes dividends while an outside caller holds the unlock; actual: none today, but only by the router's current call order.

• 10.infoTrading-core edges not exercised by the suite (exact-out swaps via outside routers, Full-state graduation, completing-buy quotes, wrapped curve trades)launchpad/contracts/test/PondPad.t.sol:498

      function testFuzz_curveStaysSolvent(uint256 seed) public {

  The suite covers exact-in swaps through the router and one third-party exact-in buy in both orderings (grep -n amountSpecified test/*.t.sol shows only negative amounts), but not: exact-out buys and sells through an outside router (the afterSwap fee-on-gross formula and the exact-out PartialFill check), a completing buy executed under an outside unlock followed by graduate(), curve trades wrapped in a foreign unlock (the Medium finding), the completing-buy quote, or graduation at the min/max targets.

  The curve solvency fuzz is a 12-step seeded walk on one coin. In this review exact-out buys and sells and an exact-in sell through an outside router were checked in both currency orderings (test/scratch/ExactOut.t.sol): the hook charges exactly 4.5% of the gross IMD on a 3%-tax coin in every case and pending fees equal the hook's ERC-6909 claims before flush, so no defect there; the gap is coverage.

  Suggest promoting those cases into the suite and adding a stateful invariant test (handler with buy/sell/graduate) asserting imd.balanceOf(curve) == sum(raised) and x*y >= k.

  whole finding

  Not a defect in the contracts.

  Expected: invariants 1-4 exercised for exact-out swaps, both currency orderings, and the Full -> graduate() path.

  Actual: only exact-in swaps and inline graduation are tested.

   The review of area A1 is complete. The findings file is at the repository root (18 KB, valid JSON, excluded from git by the repo's own .git/info/exclude), the working tree has no stray files, and the baseline suite passes 90 of 90.

   Findings written to .imd-findings.json

   • Medium, curve buyer captures their own holder tax. A contract wallet that holds the PoolManager unlock and calls PadRouter.buyWith on a curve-phase coin makes PadToken.distribute() return early (the D-27 guard). The holder IMD sits unaccounted, the buyer receives tokens, and a later distribute() credits the buyer too. In the proof, a 1,000 IMD buy on a 3% holder-tax coin recovered 28.0 of the 33 IMD owed to the only existing holder. A self-contained Foundry proof is embedded; it fails on current code and passes once the buyer can no longer earn from their own curve trade.
   • Low, post-graduation router buys flush after the buyer holds tokens. Every router buy hands the buyer back their share of their own holder fee (2.19 of 30 IMD in the probe). It is systematic and inherent to the flush-later design, so the fix is a rule decision.
   • Low, a curve completed inside an outside unlock stays Full. Router buys and sells revert until anyone calls graduate(). No loss, liveness only.
   • Info, quoteBuy fee on completing buys. The quote reports 15 IMD of fees where the trade charges 1.37 IMD and refunds the rest. Token output is exact.
   • Info, unused unlimited IMD allowance from the curve to the hook.

   Invariants checked and holding (threat model section 2): 1 (curve solvency, verified analytically and by fuzz with sells in both orders), 2 (graduation price and init guard, fuzzed over targets 1,000 to 10,000 IMD, fee 0 to 200 bps, both currency orderings, never reverted), 3 (liquidity guards), 4 (fee on filled IMD for exact-in and exact-out in both orderings, PartialFill on exact-out sells, fee on actual for partial exact-in sells), 5, 7, 8 (integrator share source and hookData trust), 9 (no leftover funds, exact refunds). Invariant 6 holds against flash-borrowed tokens but its "within one block" wording is weakened by the Medium finding. PadLens quotes matched real pool trades to the wei.

   Not found: no rounding path that makes the curve insolvent or moves the pool off the final price, no way to front-run pool initialization, no ERC-6909 claim or flush accounting gap, no reentrancy through ETH receivers or tokens that reaches state, no admin path exceeding the documented bounds. Fork tests were not run; the review used local tests only.

   • mediumCurve buyer captures the holder share of their own buy by trading while they hold the PoolManager unlocklaunchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:314

     BondingCurve._routeFees credits the holder part of a buy's fee by sending IMD to the coin and calling PadToken.distribute() before the buyer receives tokens (comment at BondingCurve.sol:226: 'a buyer never earns from their own buy'). PadToken.distribute() (PadToken.sol:81) silently returns when the PoolManager is unlocked and the caller is not the hook (D-27 guard).

     Curve trades do not need the PoolManager, so any contract wallet can call PoolManager.unlock, and inside its callback call PadRouter.buyWith(coin, IMD, ...) for a curve-phase coin: the buy succeeds, the holder IMD is left unaccounted in the token, and the buyer receives tokens. After the unlock the buyer (or anyone) calls PadToken.distribute(), which now splits that IMD over the eligible supply including the buyer's fresh balance.

     The buyer recovers up to (their share of eligible supply) x (holder tax) of their own buy, taken from the holders who should have received all of it. The same applies to sells made inside an unlock (the seller keeps a share of their own sell's holder fee through the tokens they still hold).

     Bounded by the 3% maximum tax, repeatable on every trade through a wrapper contract, and it contradicts the stated curve-phase rule and the spirit of invariant 6 ('dividends can't be captured within one block').

     Fix: do not let a curve trade depend on a best-effort distribute().

     Either refuse curve buy/sell while poolManager.isUnlocked() (the code already treats mid-unlock curve trades as an edge case for graduation), or give PadToken a curve-only path that credits the holder amount synchronously against the eligible supply snapshotted before the buyer's transfer (the curve excludes itself and transfers tokens only after _routeFees, so no flash-borrowed pool tokens of a curve-phase coin exist unless an outside pool for the coin was opened; if that case matters, revert instead).

     whole finding

     Setup (local, no fork): coin launched with CoinFees(300, 0, 10000, 0) (3% tax, all to holders), snipe/max-buy windows elapsed.

     Bob buys 100 IMD via PadRouter.buyWith (he is the only holder; his own 3 IMD holder fee stays unaccounted because eligibleSupply was 0 at that moment).

     Attacker contract: PoolManager.unlock(''), and in unlockCallback calls PadRouter.buyWith(coin, IMD, 1000e18, 0, deadline, address(0)); the buy's holder fee is 30 IMD.

     After the unlock, call PadToken.distribute().

     Expected: attacker withdrawableDividendOf == 0 and Bob gains 33 IMD (30 from the attacker's buy + his own 3).

     Actual (test output): attacker withdrawableDividendOf = 27.99 IMD, Bob gains 5.01 IMD.

     Without the unlock, the same buy credits all 33 IMD to Bob (PondPad.t.sol test_dividends_paidToHoldersNotMarket shows the normal path).

     Proof file: test/scratch/DividendBypass.t.sol (run from launchpad/contracts with forge test --match-path test/scratch/DividendBypass.t.sol); it fails now with 'buyer earned from their own buy: 27994867607605272366 != 0' and passes once the buyer cannot earn from the holder fee of their own curve trade (either the trade reverts mid-unlock or the fee is credited to the pre-trade holders).

     whole proof

   • lowAfter graduation, router buys distribute the buyer's own holder fee after the buyer already holds the tokenslaunchpad/contracts/src/PadRouter.sol:108

     PadRouter.buyWith for a graduated coin first runs the swap (_execute: the buyer takes the coin tokens inside the router's unlock), then calls hook.flush(coin), which sends the pending holder IMD to the token and calls PadToken.distribute().

     At that point the buyer is already an eligible holder, so every router buy hands the buyer back (buyer balance / eligibleSupply) x (holder part of their own fee), and existing holders receive correspondingly less than the coin's advertised holder tax. On the curve the order is the reverse (holders credited before the buyer receives tokens) and the code documents that as the intended rule, so the two phases disagree.

     The amount is bounded (<= 3% of the buy, scaled by the buyer's share) but it is systematic on every router buy and grows with buy size: a buyer taking 30% of the eligible supply gets back 0.9% of the IMD they paid.

     This is an inherent consequence of D-27's 'flush later' design (distributing inside afterSwap would be exposed to flash-borrowed tokens), so fixing it means deciding the rule: either document that post-graduation buyers share in their own fee, or have flush() distribute to a snapshot of eligible balances taken before the current swap (e.g. record eligibleSupply and the buyer's pre-swap balance in beforeSwap for router trades and correct the buyer's entitlement in _flush).

     whole finding

     Local test (Probe test_selfDividend_afterGraduation): coin with CoinFees(300,0,10000,0), graduated with IMD as currency0 (the ordering does not matter).

     Alice calls PadRouter.buyWith(coin, IMD, 1000e18, 0, deadline, address(0)).

     Holder fee of her buy: 30 IMD.

     Immediately after the call, PadToken.withdrawableDividendOf(alice) = 2.194 IMD (her balance 63.1M of 863.1M eligible = 7.3% of the 30 IMD), whereas the curve-phase rule ('a buyer never earns from their own buy', BondingCurve.sol:226) would give 0.

     The other holders receive 27.8 IMD instead of 30.

   • lowA curve completed while the PoolManager is unlocked stays Full; router trades revert until someone calls graduate()launchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:238

     When the completing buy runs inside an outside PoolManager unlock (any contract that calls PoolManager.unlock and then PadRouter.buyWith for a curve coin paying IMD, e.g. an aggregator wrapping PondPad), the coin is left in Status.Full. In that state BondingCurve.buy/sell revert with NotTrading and there is no pool yet, so holders cannot sell and nobody can buy until a separate transaction calls BondingCurve.graduate(coin).

     PadRouter does not call graduate() itself when it sees Status.Full, and the threat model treats keepers as 'may never call'. Nothing is lost (graduate() is permissionless and never reverts: fuzzed over targets 1,000-10,000 IMD, graduation fee 0-200 bps, both currency orderings) and the window closes with one call from anyone, so this is liveness only.

     Fix: in PadRouter.buyWith/_sell, when curve.statusOf(coin) == Full and !poolManager.isUnlocked(), call curve.graduate(coin) first and then route to the pool; and/or emit CurveFull so the frontend prompts the call.

     whole finding

     Local test (Probe test_fullUnderOutsideUnlock_thenGraduate): launch a no-tax coin, warp past the windows.

     Attacker contract: PoolManager.unlock('') -> in the callback PadRouter.buyWith(coin, IMD, 5000e18, 0, deadline, address(0)).

     Result: curve.statusOf(coin) == Full (not Graduated).

     Then alice's PadRouter.buyWith(coin, IMD, 1e18, ...) reverts (NotTrading) and so would any sell; curve.graduate(coin) from any EOA then graduates and the pool opens normally.

     Expected from the user's point of view: trading continues through the router without a manual step.

   • infoBondingCurve.quoteBuy reports the fee and snipe tax on the whole input for a buy that completes the curvelaunchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:361

     quoteBuy (and PadLens.quoteBuy, which forwards it) caps out at the remaining curve supply but computes fee and snipe on the full grossIn, while buy() recomputes the fee and snipe tax on the reduced grossNeeded and refunds the rest. For an input that overshoots the remaining raise, the quoted fee is far above what the trade charges, and the quote gives no sign that most of the input will be refunded. Tokens out are quoted exactly.

     Fix: in quoteBuy, when out >= remaining, recompute grossNeeded as buy() does and return fee/snipe on it (and optionally a refund field).

     Local test: no-tax coin with 90 IMD left to raise.

     PadLens.quoteBuy(coin, 1000e18) returns tokensOut = 9,033,877.04 tokens, fee = 15 IMD, snipe = 0.

     The actual PadRouter.buyWith(coin, IMD, 1000e18, ...) delivers exactly 9,033,877.04 tokens, charges 91.37 IMD in total (1.37 IMD of fees, protocol part 0.914 IMD) and refunds 908.63 IMD.

     Expected quote fee: 1.37 IMD; actual quote: 15 IMD.

   • infoBondingCurve grants PadHook an unlimited IMD allowance that no code path useslaunchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:133

     initialize() approves the hook for type(uint256).max IMD, but graduation pushes IMD with imd.safeTransfer(hook, poolImd) (BondingCurve.sol:289) and PadHook never calls transferFrom on the curve. The allowance is a standing, unused claim on the IMD escrowed for every coin on the curve. It is harmless with the current immutable hook, but it widens the blast radius of any future hook bug and contradicts the 'the curve pushes, the hook never pulls' design.

     Fix: drop the approval.

     Deploy as in test/Base.t.sol; after curve.initialize(...), IERC20(imd).allowance(address(curve), address(hook)) == type(uint256).max while grep over src/PadHook.sol shows no transferFrom/safeTransferFrom from the curve. Expected: no allowance needed; actual: unlimited allowance.

   Result: no Critical or High in area A1. One Medium, two Low, two Info, written to .imd-findings.json with three self-contained Foundry proofs that fail on the current code.

   Findings

   • Medium, BondingCurve.sol:238. A curve buy wrapped in an outside PoolManager unlock still executes. The holder tax is left uncredited because distribute() is skipped mid-unlock, and the buyer credits it after the unlock while holding the new tokens. Bob buying 200 IMD on a 3% holder-tax coin recaptured 5.27 of his 6 IMD tax that should have gone to the existing holder. Fix: refuse curve trades while the PoolManager is unlocked. The router never needs that path.
   • Low, PadRouter.sol:108. After graduation the router flushes fees after the swap delivers tokens, so a buyer is credited a pro rata share of its own holder tax, unlike on the curve. Alice got 2.19 IMD back from a 30 IMD tax. Pending fees from outside routers are also capturable in one buy-flush-sell, bounded by the round-trip fee. Suggested fix is a flush before the swap plus documentation.
   • Low, BondingCurve.sol:361. quoteBuy reports fee and snipe on the full input for a completing buy. Quote showed 125 IMD fee where the trade charged 52.82 IMD.
   • Info, BondingCurve.sol:133. Unlimited IMD approval to the hook that nothing uses.
   • Info, test coverage. Exact-out swaps, outside-router trades with coin-first ordering, the Full-state graduation path, ETH-receiver reentrancy and min/max targets are untested in the suite.

   Checked and found sound (invariants 1 to 9 of the threat model): curve rounding and solvency under a 400-run multi-coin random walk with sells, snipe-window buys and ETH legs; completing-buy refund and snipe interaction; graduation price continuity at 1,000, 4,000 and 10,000 IMD in both currency orderings; pool init front-running; hook fee exactness for exact-in and exact-out in both orderings, including PartialFill and ZeroFill; ERC-6909 claim accounting and flush; liquidity guards; hookData trust; flash-borrow dividend capture; payment routes, ETH handling, permit, slippage and reentrancy through an ETH receiver; integrator share source; CreatorVault, SwarmBudget, FeeSplitter and PadLens quotes. The Deploy script fills the one-shot setSale slot, so that lead closed.

   • mediumCurve buy wrapped in an outside PoolManager unlock lets the buyer recapture its own holder taxlaunchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:238

     BondingCurve.buy executes inside a PoolManager unlock held by an outside caller (the curve only uses that condition to defer graduation). Inside such an unlock, _routeFees() transfers the holders' share of the fee to the PadToken and calls distribute(), which returns without crediting anyone because the PoolManager is unlocked by someone other than the hook (PadToken.sol:81, D-27). The buyer then receives its tokens.

     After the unlock ends, the buyer (or anyone) calls distribute(): the fee is now credited pro rata to current holders, which includes the buyer. The curve's own invariant that 'holders are credited before the buyer receives tokens, so a buyer never earns from their own buy' (BondingCurve.sol:226) is bypassed by wrapping the router call in pm.unlock(); the only cost is gas.

     The recaptured share is balance/eligibleSupply after the buy, so an early or large buyer gets most of its holder tax back and existing holders receive correspondingly less. Side effect of the same path: a completing buy done this way leaves the coin in Status.Full with sells blocked until someone calls graduate().

     The router never trades the curve inside its own unlock (its payment legs complete before curve.buy/sell is called), so there is no legitimate reason for curve trades to run under a foreign unlock.

     Fix: in BondingCurve.buy and sell, revert when poolManager.isUnlocked() (then the inline-graduation branch and the Full state become unnecessary); alternatively have PadToken record the skipped amount and credit it only to the eligible supply snapshot taken before the trade.

     Invariants checked: 1, 6, 7 (THREAT-MODEL section 2).

     whole finding

     Coin launched with CoinFees(300, 0, 10000, 0) (3% tax to holders), target 2,060 IMD, after the snipe window.

     Alice buys 100 IMD through PadRouter (she is the only holder).

     Contract Bob calls poolManager.unlock() and, in its unlockCallback, router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 200e18, 0, deadline, 0).

     Holder tax on Bob's buy = 6 IMD.

     During the call PadToken.distribute() is skipped; imd.balanceOf(coin) exceeds accountedImd by 6e18.

     After the unlock Bob calls PadToken.distribute().

     Expected: PadToken.withdrawableDividendOf(bob) == 0 (all 6 IMD to Alice, as for an unwrapped buy).

     Actual: withdrawableDividendOf(bob) == 5267419561048369912 (5.27 IMD, 88% of his own tax; Alice gets 0.73 IMD instead of 6).

   • lowAfter graduation a router buyer is credited a share of its own buy's holder tax; pending third-party fees are JIT-capturablelaunchpad/contracts/src/PadRouter.sol:108

     In the pool phase the order is reversed relative to the curve: the swap delivers the coin to the buyer (PoolManager.take inside PaymentSwapper.unlockCallback), and only afterwards PadRouter calls hook.flush(coin), which sends the pending holders' share to the PadToken and distributes it.

     The buyer therefore holds its new tokens when its own holder tax is credited and receives balance/eligibleSupply of it, contradicting ARCHITECTURE-v1 section 4.1 / the curve's comment that a buyer never earns from its own buy.

     The same flush also distributes any holder fees left pending by third-party routers (which do not flush), so a buy-flush-sell in one transaction captures a pro rata share of those at the cost of two trade fees; that part is bounded (profitable only when pending holder fees exceed roughly the round-trip fee times the attacker's share of supply, i.e. thousands of IMD of un-flushed outside volume) and needs no flash loan, so it is not a break of invariant 6, but it is an avoidable transfer from existing holders.

     Fix: in PadRouter.buyWith (graduated path) call hook.flush(coin) before _execute as well as after, so previously pending fees go to pre-trade holders; document that the buyer's own holder tax is shared with the buyer pro rata in the pool phase, or exclude the trader by snapshotting its balance in the hook and crediting the difference through a PadToken hook-only entry point.

     Invariants checked: 4, 6.

     whole proof

   • lowquoteBuy reports fee and snipe tax on the full input for a buy that completes the curvelaunchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:361

     BondingCurve.quoteBuy (used by PadLens.quoteBuy and the trade box) computes fee and snipe on grossIn, but BondingCurve.buy, when out >= remaining, reduces gross to grossNeeded (lines 201-208) and charges fee and snipe on that smaller amount, refunding the rest. The quoted out is exact, the quoted fee and snipe are overstated by grossIn/grossNeeded, and the quote gives no way to know the refund.

     The website shows a fee up to several times the real one on the completing buy, and an integrator budgeting from the quote mis-estimates. No funds are at risk.

     Fix: mirror buy's completion branch in quoteBuy (compute grossNeeded when out > remaining and report fee, snipe and a refund amount on that), and surface the refund in PadLens.quoteBuy.

     Invariant checked: 9 (quote exactness).

     Coin with CoinFees(100, 0, 10000, 0) (2.5% total), target 2,060 IMD, after the snipe window.

     PadLens.quoteBuy(coin, 5000e18) returns fee = 125e18 (2.5% of 5,000).

     Alice then calls router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 5000e18, ...): the curve completes, takes 2,012.82 IMD and refunds 2,987.18; the CurveTrade event reports fee = 52820512820512820512 (52.82 IMD).

     Expected: quoted fee == charged fee (52.82 IMD).

     Actual: 125 IMD quoted.

   • infoBondingCurve grants PadHook an unlimited IMD allowance it never useslaunchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:133

     BondingCurve.initialize approves the hook for type(uint256).max IMD, but _graduate pushes the pool IMD with imd.safeTransfer(hook, poolImd) (line 289) and PadHook has no transferFrom path. The allowance is dead code that widens the blast radius: any future pull path or bug in PadHook would be able to move every coin's raised IMD out of the curve.

     Fix: remove the approval (or, if a pull model is wanted, approve exactly poolImd inside _graduate). No invariant is affected today.

     State after Deploy.s.sol: imd.allowance(curve, hook) == type(uint256).max while no code path in PadHook calls transferFrom on IMD from the curve.

     Expected: no standing allowance from the contract that holds all pre-graduation IMD.

     Actual: unlimited allowance.

   • infoEdges of the trading core untested in the suite (exact-out swaps, coin-first ordering with outside routers, Full-state graduation, ETH receiver reentrancy)launchpad/contracts/test/PondPad.t.sol:498

     The suite covers exact-in swaps through the router and one third-party exact-in buy in both orderings, but not: exact-out buys and sells through an outside router (the afterSwap fee-on-gross formula and the exact-out PartialFill check), a completing buy executed under an outside unlock followed by graduate(), reentrancy from an ETH receiver during a sell payout while the router's unlock is open, or graduation at the min/max graduation targets.

     The curve solvency fuzz is a 12-step seeded walk on one coin with no sells of a wallet's full balance and no snipe-window buys; ARCHITECTURE-v1 section 10 describes these as fuzz- or invariant-tested. I ran these cases in scratch tests (test/scratch/Probe*.t.sol, not kept): all pass, including a 400-run, 40-step, three-coin walk with ETH and IMD buys and sells, exact-out fee exactness in both orderings, and graduation at 1,000 / 4,000 / 10,000 IMD.

     Suggest promoting those cases into the suite and adding a stateful invariant test (handler with buy/sell/graduate) asserting imd.balanceOf(curve) == sum(raised) and x*y >= k.

     whole finding

     Not a defect in the contracts; a coverage gap.

     Expected: the invariants in THREAT-MODEL section 2 items 1-4 exercised for exact-out swaps and both currency orderings.

     Actual: only exact-in swaps are tested; grep -n amountSpecified test/*.t.sol shows only negative (exact-in) amounts.

   Summary

   Scope covered (A1, coin trading core): BondingCurve, PadHook, PadRouter, PaymentSwapper, PadToken, PadFactory, PadConfig, FeeLib, Route, CreatorVault, SwarmBudget, IntegratorVault, FeeSplitter, PadLens, with the pinned v4-core Hooks/PoolManager delta semantics read against the hook's assumptions. The 90-test local suite passes; I added scratch probes (not kept) for exact-out swaps in both currency orderings, a completion/graduation fuzz across the full PadConfig bounds (targets 1k–10k IMD, graduation fee 0–2%, 90% snipe tax, 3% tax), foreign-unlock paths, and ERC-6909 claim/flush accounting.

   Invariants checked: 1–9 (coins). 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 hold: curve rounding always favours the curve and x·y drift can never make the completing buy underflow (state is always x = ⌈k/y⌉ or y = ⌈k/x⌉); raise lands on the target ±wei regardless of trade history; refunds are exact; pool opens at target/R with negligible dust; fee is exactly totalBps of the filled IMD for exact-in/exact-out in both orderings and pending == claims; outsiders can't init pools or add/remove liquidity; non-router hookData is ignored.

   Findings written (5):

   • Medium — BondingCurve.sol:226: a curve buy wrapped in a foreign PoolManager.unlock makes PadToken.distribute() skip (D-27 guard), so the holder tax is credited after the buyer holds the tokens; the attacker reclaims 28 of its 30 IMD holder tax in the proof. Proof test attached (fails now, passes with if (poolManager.isUnlocked()) revert in buy/sell; I verified both outcomes and restored the file). Touches invariant 6.
   • Low — SwarmBudget.sol:107: requester can cancel between the relay starting a job and release, leaving the relay unpaid.
   • Info ×3 — CreatorVault.claim to a coin-recipient never calls distribute(); the curve's unused unlimited IMD approval to the hook; PadLens.quoteBuy reports fullFill=true for buys the max-buy window rejects.

   No Critical/High found in this area. Not covered here: PadSale/market (A2), staking/funds (A3), governance and Deploy.s.sol (A4), fork tests (no network run).

   • mediumCurve buy wrapped in a foreign PoolManager unlock defers the holder-tax credit past the token transfer, so the buyer is paid most of its own holder taxlaunchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:226

     BondingCurve.buy relies on _routeFees -> PadToken.distribute() running before coin.safeTransfer(recipient, out) so that the holder share of the tax is credited to the holders that exist before the buy (comment at line 226).

     But PadToken.distribute() (PadToken.sol:81) returns without crediting whenever poolManager.isUnlocked() && msg.sender != hook, and a curve buy paid in IMD never needs the PoolManager, so it succeeds when called from inside an outsider's unlock callback (the same path D-28 tolerates for the Full state).

     The holder IMD then sits on the token unaccounted and is credited by the next distribute() call, which anyone (including the buyer) can make after the unlock ends, when the buyer already holds the tokens. The buyer therefore receives taxToHolders * share of its own buy's holder tax, and the holders who should have received it are shorted by the same amount. Cost to the attacker: one contract call; no flash loan.

     Bounded by the coin's holder tax (<= 3% of the buy) times the buyer's share of eligible supply, which is large early on the curve. Related, inherent and much smaller: after graduation the router flushes fees after the swap (PadRouter._flushFees), so a pool buyer is credited with its own share of its own fee at flush time (e.g. 6 of 120 IMD holder tax on a 4,000 IMD buy); that one cannot be fixed inside the unlock and is bounded by the buyer's share of 800M+ tokens.

     Invariant 6 (dividend capture within one block) is the one this touches; invariants 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 were checked and hold (curve solvency and completion/refund/price-continuity fuzzed across targets 1,000-10,000 IMD, graduation fee 0-2%, snipe tax 90%, 3% tax; hook exact-in/exact-out in both currency orderings with fee == 1.99% of filled IMD and pending == ERC-6909 claims; liquidity add/remove and pool init rejected for outsiders; hookData ignored for non-router senders).

     Fix: refuse curve trades while the PoolManager is unlocked, e.g. in buy and sell add if (poolManager.isUnlocked()) revert NotTrading(); (the router's own payment-route unlock has already ended when it calls the curve, so no legitimate path is affected; the Full/graduate() fallback of D-28 then becomes unreachable but can stay as a safety valve).

     Do NOT instead let the curve call distribute() while unlocked: tokens of an outside pool for the same coin (D-29) could be flash-borrowed inside that unlock and would be counted.

     whole finding

     Coin launched with CoinFees(300, 0, 10000, 0) (3% tax, all to holders), mainnet settings (D-76).

     After the snipe/max-buy windows, alice buys 100 IMD and is the only holder.

     Attacker contract calls poolManager.unlock(...) and in its callback PadRouter.buyWith(coin, IMD, 1000e18, 0, deadline, 0).

     The curve takes 30 IMD holder tax, transfers it to the coin, distribute() returns early (manager unlocked, caller is the curve), then transfers ~630M tokens to the attacker.

     After the unlock anyone calls PadToken.distribute().

     Expected (normal path, line 226): alice is credited the full 30 IMD, attacker 0.

     Actual: attacker withdrawableDividendOf = 27.99 IMD, alice 5.01 IMD (which includes alice's own deferred 3 IMD from being the first buyer).

     Test test/scratch/HolderTaxSelfCapture.t.sol fails on this code with buyer earned from its own buy: 27994867607605272366 != 0 and passes once curve trades revert under a foreign unlock.

   • lowSwarmBudget: the requester can cancel a request between the relay starting the job and release(), leaving the relay unpaidlaunchpad/contracts/src/SwarmBudget.sol:107

     release(id, jobId) records the swarm job id, which suggests the relay submits (and pays for, 0.5 IMD per job on Ethereum) the job before it calls release to take the reserved IMD. Nothing in the contract stops the requester (the coin's fee recipient) from calling cancel(id) in between: the reservation is freed and the later release reverts RequestClosed, so the relay hot wallet paid the job out of its own funds.

     Repeatable per request up to maxRequest (100 IMD) each. Only the relay is harmed; user funds are not. Mitigation is either operational (the relay must release before it submits the job) or in code: let the relay lock a request first (accept(id)) after which only the relay can cancel, or add a short requester-cancel delay.

     Fee recipient R calls requestSpend(coin, 50e18, specHash) -> id 0, reservedOf[coin] = 50e18.

     Relay submits the swarm job off-chain.

     R calls cancel(0) (allowed: msg.sender == creatorVault.recipientOf(coin)), reservedOf[coin] back to 0.

     Relay calls release(0, "job-123"): reverts RequestClosed().

     Expected: relay receives 50 IMD; actual: relay received nothing and the job was already paid.

   • infoCreatorVault.claim to a coin-as-recipient (after CTO) parks the IMD on the token without distributing itlaunchpad/contracts/src/CreatorVault.sol:65

     When a CTO set recipientOf[coin] = coin (fees to holders), claim(coin) transfers the IMD to the token contract but never calls PadToken.distribute(), unlike SwarmBudget.sweepToHolders and the hook/curve holder path. The IMD stays as balanceOf(coin) - accountedImd until anyone calls distribute(); a coin with no holder tax has no automatic caller, so the amount can sit for a long time and whoever buys right before calling distribute() shares in it.

     No loss of funds (permissionless distribute() releases it).

     Fix: in claim, after the transfer, if (to == coin) PadToken(coin).distribute(); (it is a no-op inside a foreign unlock, as elsewhere).

     Coin with CoinFees(0,0,0,0); CTO module calls ctoSetRecipient(coin, coin); a trade accrues 0.5 IMD creator fee; anyone calls CreatorVault.claim(coin).

     Expected: holders' withdrawableDividendOf grows by their share of 0.5 IMD.

     Actual: imd.balanceOf(coin) - PadToken(coin).accountedImd() == 0.5e18, withdrawableDividendOf(holder) unchanged until some caller invokes distribute().

   • infoBondingCurve grants PadHook an unlimited IMD allowance that no code path useslaunchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:133

     initialize approves the hook for the curve's entire IMD balance, but _graduate pushes IMD with imd.safeTransfer(hook, poolImd) and PadHook has no transferFrom on the curve. The allowance is dead surface: every coin's raised IMD (invariant 1) sits behind an approval to another contract for no reason. Remove the approval (or the comment explaining why it must stay).

     After deploy, imd.allowance(address(curve), address(hook)) == type(uint256).max while no function in PadHook.sol calls transferFrom on the curve; graduation works with the approval removed (it uses safeTransfer).

   • infoPadLens.quoteBuy reports fullFill=true for curve buys that PadRouter will reject under the max-buy windowlaunchpad/contracts/src/PadLens.sol:142

     During the Egg stage (first 80 s on mainnet, D-76) BondingCurve.buy caps a wallet at maxBuyTokens (2% = 20M tokens) and reverts MaxBuyExceeded above it, but the lens quote neither caps nor flags it, and returns fullFill = true. An integrator trusting the quote submits a transaction that reverts. Numerically the quote matches buy otherwise (same formulas, same rounding; pool quotes equal the hook's fee on the filled amount).

     Fix: have quoteBuy also return (or clamp against) maxBuyTokens - boughtInWindow[coin][wallet] while block.timestamp < launchedAt + maxBuyWindow, or document that fullFill ignores the per-wallet cap.

     Mainnet settings; at launch + 30 s call PadLens.quoteBuy(coin, 400e18): returns tokensOut > 20_000_000e18 and fullFill = true; PadRouter.buyWith(coin, IMD, 400e18, 0, deadline, 0) from a fresh wallet at the same time reverts MaxBuyExceeded.

   The review is complete. .imd-findings.json is at the repository root (it is excluded from git by .git/info/exclude, as intended); no source file was changed, and the only untracked content is my test/scratch/ probes.

   Summary — PondPad A1 (coin trading core)

   Coverage. Read all 14 in-scope files plus the v4 Hooks/SqrtPriceMath paths they rely on, THREAT-MODEL, ARCHITECTURE-v1 and the cited decisions. Built the project and ran the full local suite (90/90 pass), then ~10 scratch probes. Applied the Access Control, Asymmetry and Trust Gap guides: entry-point/guard inventory for every contract, paired-function diffs (curve buy↔sell, curve fees↔hook fees, quote↔execute, collect↔payout, flush↔charge), and the access×economics / access×asymmetry seams.

   Invariants checked: 1 (curve solvency — fuzz incl. wei-level buys/sells, plus a numeric search showing the completing-buy divUp(k,V)-x underflow is unreachable), 2 (graduation price and init front-running — exercised at targets 1,000/4,000/10,000 IMD with 0/1/2% fee in both currency orderings, plus a replicated _seed fuzz confirming the hook can always pay the position), 3, 4 (exact-in and exact-out, both orderings, fee on gross, claims == pending, PartialFill), 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15.

   Findings (5):

   • High — BondingCurve._routeFees → PadToken.distribute() is skipped when the PoolManager is unlocked by anyone but the hook. A buyer wraps a plain IMD curve buy in its own unlock, receives tokens with the holder tax left unaccounted, then claim()s its share in the same transaction (0.87 IMD of a 3 IMD tax at ~29% share; 100% for the first holder/dev buy). Breaks invariant 6; Foundry proof attached (fails now, passes with any of three listed fixes — I verified one).
   • Low — Post-graduation router buys flush after the buyer holds tokens, so pool buyers earn from their own holder tax (asymmetric with the curve).
   • Low — quoteBuy/PadLens.quoteBuy report the fee on the full input for a completing buy (75 IMD quoted vs 31.37 IMD charged).
   • Info — Dead unlimited IMD approval from the curve to the hook.
   • Info — PadHook.flush "router inside an unlock" branch is unreachable; would bypass D-27 if ever reached.

   Not found (checked): rounding insolvency, graduation DoS, pool-init front-running, hook delta mis-accounting, flash-borrow dividend capture through the hook, router leftover funds/ETH-receiver reentrancy, hookData spoofing, integrator share leakage, CreatorVault/SwarmBudget/FeeSplitter guard gaps.

   • highBuyer can wrap a curve buy in its own PoolManager unlock to skip the holder-tax distribution and claim its own tax back in the same transaction (invariant 6)launchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:314

     BondingCurve.buy relies on ordering to keep buyers from earning on their own trade: _routeFees sends the holder share to the coin and calls PadToken.distribute() BEFORE coin.safeTransfer(recipient, out) (comment at line 226: 'a buyer never earns from their own buy'). PadToken.distribute() (src/PadToken.sol:81) returns early whenever poolManager.isUnlocked() && msg.sender != hook (D-27, meant to stop flash-borrowed capture in pool trades).

     The curve is not the hook, so the buyer controls that branch: a contract calls poolManager.unlock(...) and, inside its unlockCallback, calls PadRouter.buyWith(coin, IMD, amount, ...) (an IMD curve buy needs no unlock of its own, so nothing reverts). _routeFees transfers the holder share into the token but distribute() is skipped, the IMD stays unaccounted (balance > accountedImd), the buyer receives its tokens, the unlock ends, and the buyer calls PadToken.claim() which now runs distribute() with the buyer counted in eligibleSupply.

     The buyer collects its share of its own holder tax plus any other unaccounted IMD sitting in the token (first-buy tax deferred while eligibleSupply==0, CreatorVault.claim to a coin-as-recipient, etc.). It is a trust-gap seam (access x asymmetry): the D-27 gate is keyed on who the caller of distribute is, but who holds the unlock is decided by the trader, and only the curve path depends on distribute() running synchronously.

     Gain is bounded by share-of-eligible x own holder tax (up to 100% for the sole/first holder, e.g. a dev buy or a sniper in the Egg stage when eligibleSupply is tiny), repeatable on every buy, costs only gas. Breaks THREAT-MODEL invariant 6 ('dividends can't be captured within one block') and the fee guarantee of invariant 4 for the holder-tax part.

     Fix options: (a) in PadToken.distribute, also allow msg.sender == curve (the curve only distributes before graduation, when no pool for the coin exists, so there is nothing to flash-borrow); or (b) have BondingCurve keep the holder share in a per-coin pending bucket when poolManager.isUnlocked() and push it on the next trade / a permissionless flush; or (c) revert curve trades while the PoolManager is unlocked by an outside caller (graduation already defers in that case).

     The attached test passes with any of the three.

     whole finding

     Coin with 3% holder tax (CoinFees(300,0,10000,0)), mainnet settings, trading after the 80 s windows. alice buys 100 IMD, bob buys 100 IMD through PadRouter: bob's withdrawableDividendOf == 0 (honest buyers earn nothing from their own buy).

     Attacker contract W: pm.unlock(data); in unlockCallback: router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 100e18, 0, now, 0).

     Expected: W pays 3 IMD holder tax to alice and bob and can claim 0.

     Actual (forge): W.claim() returns 874699322108025366 wei (~0.87 IMD of its own 3 IMD tax, = its ~29% share of eligible supply) in the same transaction.

     With the same trick on the first buy (or the creator's dev buy via launchWith inside an unlock) the recapture is 100% of the holder tax.

     whole reproduction

   • lowAfter graduation the router flushes holder fees after the buyer already holds the tokens, so pool buyers earn from their own buy (asymmetric with the curve)launchpad/contracts/src/PadRouter.sol:108

     On the curve the holder share is distributed before the buyer receives tokens. In the pool path PadRouter.buyWith runs _execute (the swap takes the coins to msg.sender inside the unlock) and only then _flushFees -> PadHook.flush -> _flush -> PadToken.distribute(), with msg.sender == hook so the D-27 gate passes. The buyer's new balance is therefore part of eligibleSupply when its own holder tax is credited.

     Same for pending fees accumulated from outside routers: they go to whoever holds at the next flush, which the router performs for the next trader. This is the paired-function asymmetry (curve buy vs pool buy) of the High finding, without any trick: every pool buyer gets back share x holder tax of its own trade, diluting existing holders. Effect is bounded (<= 3% of the trade x the buyer's share) and distributive rather than theft, hence Low.

     Fix: flush the coin's pending fees before executing the trade (so prior pending goes to prior holders) and credit the trade's own holder share against a holder set excluding the recipient, e.g. by having the hook distribute the holder part of the current swap in afterSwap via a pending bucket that _flush pays out only to the eligible supply snapshotted at beforeSwap, or simply document that post-graduation buyers share in their own tax.

     whole finding

     Coin with 3% holder tax, graduated (fill the curve). bob holds nothing; bob calls router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 100e18, ...).

     Expected (per the curve's rule): bob's withdrawableDividendOf == 0 right after.

     Actual: PadToken.withdrawableDividendOf(bob) == 32850386459805805 wei (bob's 8.86M tokens / 808.86M eligible x 3 IMD) immediately after his own buy.

   • lowBondingCurve.quoteBuy (and PadLens.quoteBuy) report the fee on the full input for a completing buy, while buy() charges it only on grossNeededlaunchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:361

     quoteBuy caps out at the remaining tokens (line 365) but never recomputes fee/snipe on the gross actually taken (buy() lines 199-209 shrink gross to grossNeeded and refund the rest). The view therefore overstates the fee and the snipe tax for any input that completes the curve, and PadLens.quoteBuy forwards it to the site and integrators as the 'total fee' shown in the trade box.

     No funds are at risk (the trade itself charges the right amount); it is a view/write divergence that misinforms users and any integrator that checks fee <= quoted.

     Fix: in quoteBuy, when out > remaining, compute netNeeded/grossNeeded exactly as buy() does and return fee and snipe on grossNeeded (and optionally return the refund).

     Testnet settings (target 2,060 IMD, no coin tax). curve.quoteBuy(coin, 5_000e18) returns (out = 800,000,000e18, fee = 75e18, snipe = 0).

     Executing router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 5_000e18, ...) completes the curve, refunds ~2,908 IMD and charges fee = 31370558375634517766 wei (1.5% of grossNeeded ~2,091.4 IMD).

     Quoted fee 75 IMD vs real 31.37 IMD.

   • infoBondingCurve grants PadHook an unlimited IMD allowance that the hook never useslaunchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:133

     BondingCurve.initialize approves the hook for type(uint256).max IMD. PadHook never calls transferFrom on IMD: _graduate pushes poolImd with imd.safeTransfer(hook, poolImd) (line 289) and the hook pays the PoolManager from its own balance. The allowance is dead code that widens the trust surface: every coin's raised IMD (all curves share one contract balance) is spendable by whatever code sits at hook without any call from the curve.

     Today the hook is immutable and has no such path, so there is no exploit; remove the approval so the curve's IMD can only leave through buy/sell/_graduate.

     After deployment, IMD.allowance(curve, hook) == type(uint256).max while no function in PadHook.sol contains a transferFrom/safeTransferFrom on IMD (grep). Expected: no standing allowance from a contract holding every coin's pre-graduation IMD.

   • infoPadHook.flush/flushIntegrator 'router inside an unlock' branch is unreachable and would be a hole if it ever became reachablelaunchpad/contracts/src/PadHook.sol:341

     The branch runs _flush (which calls PadToken.distribute with msg.sender == hook, i.e. past the D-27 gate) when the PoolManager is unlocked and the caller is the router. PadRouter only calls hook.flush/flushIntegrator in buyWith/_sell after _execute, and _execute itself calls poolManager.unlock, which reverts with AlreadyUnlocked when an outside caller holds the lock, so the router can never reach flush while someone else is unlocked; the branch is dead.

     If a later router version (or a PadSale-style caller registered as router) ever called flush from within a foreign unlock, holder dividends would be distributed while an outsider can hold flash-borrowed pool tokens, which is exactly what D-27 prevents. Suggest removing the branch (the router already flushes in its own transaction after the unlock) or asserting !poolManager.isUnlocked() before _flush.

     Static: PadRouter.sol lines 107-108 and 160-161 call _execute (PaymentSwapper.sol:104 poolManager.unlock) before _flushFees; PoolManager.unlock reverts AlreadyUnlocked when already unlocked, so msg.sender == router with isUnlocked() == true is impossible at PadHook.sol:341/350.

   The review is complete. The findings file is written at the repository root, no source files were changed, and the scratch tests were removed.

   Outcome. Every specialist claim reproduced against the code. I merged the twenty specialist entries into ten findings: one Medium, five Low, four Info. No Critical or High. Invariants 1 to 9 of the threat model were checked; all hold, with invariant 4's holder-tax part and the curve's own "a buyer never earns from its own buy" rule weakened by the Medium.

   The Medium is the curve buy wrapped in an outside PoolManager unlock. A wrapper contract calls PoolManager.unlock and buys through the router inside the callback. The holder tax reaches the token but the distribution is skipped by the D-27 gate, so the buyer is credited most of its own tax once anyone calls distribute() afterwards. All four specialist proofs fail on this code for that reason. I attached one of them as the proof. I rated it Medium rather than High because round-trip fees exceed the recapture, so it is a fee discount at holders' expense rather than a profitable capture play, and it is bounded by the coin tax times the buyer's share. The recommended fix is to refuse curve trades while the PoolManager is unlocked.

   The Lows. A curve completed under an outside unlock stays Full until someone calls graduate(). Pool-phase router buys credit the buyer a share of its own holder tax because the flush runs after the swap. The curve quote overstates fee and snipe on a completing buy. A requester can cancel a SwarmBudget request after the relay has paid for the job. A CreatorVault claim to a coin-as-recipient parks IMD without distributing it. Each has a stated reproduction with concrete numbers from my scratch tests.

   My own probe beyond the specialists: exact-out buys and sells and an exact-in sell through an outside router, in both currency orderings. Fees were exactly the coin's rate on the gross IMD amount and pending fees equalled the hook's ERC-6909 claims before flush. That path is sound; its absence from the suite is recorded as an Info coverage finding.

   Limits. No fork tests were run, and no Slither. The baseline PondPad suite passes with 31 tests.

   • mediumCurve buy wrapped in an outside PoolManager unlock skips the holder-tax distribution, so the buyer is later credited most of its own holder taxlaunchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:314

     BondingCurve.buy relies on ordering to keep buyers from earning on their own trade: _routeFees sends the holder share to the coin and calls PadToken.distribute() before coin.safeTransfer(recipient, out) (comment at BondingCurve.sol:226). PadToken.distribute() (PadToken.sol:81) returns without crediting whenever poolManager.isUnlocked() && msg.sender != hook (D-27).

     A curve buy paid in IMD never touches the PoolManager, so any contract can call PoolManager.unlock and, inside its unlockCallback, PadRouter.buyWith(coin, IMD, ...): the buy succeeds, the holder IMD sits unaccounted on the token (balance > accountedImd), and the buyer receives its tokens. After the unlock the buyer (or anyone, including a later claim()) calls distribute(), which now splits that IMD over eligibleSupply including the buyer's fresh balance.

     The buyer recovers (its share of eligible supply) x (holder tax of its own buy); the holders who should have received all of it are shorted by the same amount. The same applies to sells made inside an unlock.

     Cost: one wrapper contract, no flash loan; repeatable on every trade. Bounded by the coin tax (<= 3% of the trade) times the buyer's share, which is large early on the curve (88% for a 1,000 IMD buy after 100 IMD raised).

     This is not a profitable enter-and-exit play on its own (round-trip fees exceed the recapture), so invariant 6's flash-capture guarantee stands; it is a fee discount at holders' expense that contradicts the curve's documented rule and weakens invariant 4 for the holder part. Side effect of the same path: a completing buy done this way leaves the coin in Status.Full (separate Low finding).

     Merged from four specialist reports (ids 780a902d, aac884d0, 5f5ae0e1, b84aedca); all four proofs fail on this code for this reason.

     Fix (any one): (a) in BondingCurve.buy and sell revert when poolManager.isUnlocked() (the router's own payment-route unlock has already ended when it calls the curve, so no legitimate path is affected; the Full/graduate() fallback of D-28 becomes a safety valve); or (b) a curve-only entry point in PadToken that credits the holder amount synchronously (safe only because the curve excludes itself and transfers after crediting; if an outside pool for a curve-phase coin (D-29) is a concern, prefer (a)).

     Deferring the holder share to the next trade is not a fix: the wrapped buyer would still hold tokens when it is credited. Do not simply let distribute() run for msg.sender == curve while unlocked without considering flash-borrowed tokens from an outside pool of the same coin (D-29).

     Invariants checked: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

     whole finding

     Mainnet settings (target 4,000 IMD, D-76), coin launched with CoinFees(300, 0, 10000, 0), 1 hour after launch. alice buys 100 IMD through PadRouter (only holder).

     Attacker contract W: pm.unlock(data); in unlockCallback: router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 1000e18, 0, block.timestamp, address(0)).

     Holder tax of W's buy = 30 IMD; during the call PadToken.distribute() returns early.

     After the unlock, anyone calls PadToken.distribute().

     Expected (unwrapped buy, BondingCurve.sol:226): alice is credited the full 30 IMD, W 0.

     Actual: withdrawableDividendOf(W) == 27994867607605272366 (27.99 IMD), alice 5005132392394727633 (which includes alice's own deferred 3 IMD from being the first buyer).

     Run: forge test --match-path test/scratch/Proof_HolderTaxSelfCapture.t.sol (fails with 'buyer earned from its own buy: 27994867607605272366 != 0'; passes once curve trades revert under a foreign unlock or the holder share is credited before the transfer).

   • lowA curve completed inside an outside PoolManager unlock stays Full; router buys and sells revert until someone calls graduate()launchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:238

     When the completing buy runs inside an outside PoolManager unlock (same wrapper as the Medium finding, or an aggregator wrapping PondPad), the curve sets Status.Full and skips _graduate (D-28). In that state buy and sell revert NotTrading and no pool exists yet, so holders cannot sell and nobody can buy until a separate transaction calls BondingCurve.graduate(coin).

     PadRouter does not call graduate() when it sees Status.Full, and the threat model treats keepers as 'may never call'.

     Nothing is lost: graduate() is permissionless and succeeds from any EOA. Liveness only; the attacker gains nothing beyond briefly halting the coin.

     Fix: in PadRouter.buyWith/_sell, when curve.statusOf(coin) == Full and !poolManager.isUnlocked(), call curve.graduate(coin) and route to the pool; or adopt fix (a) of the Medium finding, after which this state is unreachable.

     Testnet settings (target 2,060 IMD), no-tax coin, 1 hour after launch.

     Wrapper contract: pm.unlock('') -> in unlockCallback router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 5000e18, 0, deadline, address(0)).

     Result: curve.statusOf(coin) == Full (2). alice's router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 1e18, ...) reverts NotTrading; sells would too. curve.graduate(coin) from any EOA graduates and router buys work again.

     Reproduced in test/scratch/Judge.t.sol::test_fullUnderOutsideUnlock (passes, i.e. the state is reachable exactly as described).

     Expected from a user's point of view: trading continues without a manual step.

   • lowAfter graduation the router flushes holder fees after the buyer already holds the tokens, so pool buyers are credited a share of their own holder tax (asymmetric with the curve)launchpad/contracts/src/PadRouter.sol:108

     On the curve the holder share is distributed before the buyer receives tokens (BondingCurve.sol:226). In the pool path PadRouter.buyWith runs _execute (the swap takes the coin to msg.sender inside the router's unlock) and only then _flushFees -> PadHook.flush -> _flush -> PadToken.distribute() with msg.sender == hook, so the buyer's new balance is part of eligibleSupply when its own holder tax is credited.

     Every router buy therefore hands the buyer back (balance / eligibleSupply) x (holder part of its fee) and existing holders get less than the coin's advertised holder tax.

     The same flush also distributes holder fees left pending by outside routers (which do not flush) to whoever holds at that moment; a buy-flush-sell in one transaction captures a pro rata share of those, but it costs two trade fees, so it is only profitable when un-flushed outside volume is in the thousands of IMD; invariant 6's flash-loan guarantee is not broken. This is inherent to D-27's 'flush later' design, so fixing it means deciding the rule.

     Options: call hook.flush(coin) before _execute as well as after (pending fees from earlier trades then go to pre-trade holders), and either document that a pool buyer shares in its own holder tax, or credit the current trade's holder share against the eligible supply snapshotted in beforeSwap for router trades. Merged from three specialist reports (4fcb35d4, 68590c5d, f2e27e0d); the attached specialist proof fails on this code as stated.

     whole finding

     Testnet settings, coin CoinFees(300, 0, 10000, 0), curve filled from fresh wallets so it graduates (IMD ordering irrelevant). alice holds nothing and withdrawableDividendOf(alice) == 0. alice calls router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 1000e18, 0, deadline, address(0)); holder tax on her buy = 30 IMD.

     Expected (curve rule): withdrawableDividendOf(alice) == 0 right after.

     Actual: 2194799215355508181 (2.19 IMD = her 63.1M tokens / 863.1M eligible x 30 IMD).

     quoteBuy caps out at the remaining curve supply (line 365) but computes fee and snipe on grossIn, whereas buy() (lines 199-209) shrinks gross to grossNeeded for a completing buy, charges fee and snipe on that smaller amount and refunds the rest. The quoted tokens are exact; the quoted fee and snipe are overstated by grossIn / grossNeeded and the quote gives no sign of the refund.

     PadLens.quoteBuy forwards it as the 'total fee' in the trade box, so the site shows a fee several times the real one on the completing buy and an integrator budgeting from the quote mis-estimates. No funds at risk (the trade charges the right amount).

     Fix: in quoteBuy, when out > remaining, compute netNeeded/grossNeeded exactly as buy() does and return fee and snipe on grossNeeded (and optionally a refund amount); surface the refund in PadLens.quoteBuy. Merged from three specialist reports (fb61d665, c84a8303, e3099bd5). Invariant 9 (quote exactness) checked.

   • lowSwarmBudget: the requester can cancel a request between the relay starting the job and release(), leaving the relay unpaidlaunchpad/contracts/src/SwarmBudget.sol:107

     release(id, jobId) records a swarm job id, which implies the relay submits (and pays for) the job before it calls release to take the reserved IMD. Nothing stops the requester (the coin's fee recipient) from calling cancel(id) in between: the reservation is freed and the later release reverts RequestClosed, so the relay hot wallet paid the job from its own funds. Repeatable once per request up to maxRequest (100 IMD).

     Only the relay is harmed; user funds are not. Mitigation is operational (release before submitting the job) or in code: an accept(id) step by the relay after which only the relay can cancel, or a short delay before a requester cancel takes effect.

     Coin with CoinFees(300, 0, 0, 10000); alice buys 2,000 IMD so available(coin) >= 50 IMD.

     Fee recipient (creator) calls requestSpend(coin, 50e18, specHash) -> id 0, reservedOf[coin] = 50e18.

     Relay submits the job off-chain. creator calls cancel(0) (allowed: msg.sender == creatorVault.recipientOf(coin)), reservedOf back to 0.

     Relay calls release(0, 'job-123'): reverts RequestClosed().

     Expected: relay receives 50 IMD for the job it already paid; actual: nothing.

   • lowCreatorVault.claim to a coin-as-recipient (after a CTO) parks the IMD on the token without distributing itlaunchpad/contracts/src/CreatorVault.sol:65

     When a takeover set recipientOf[coin] = coin (fees to holders, D-52), claim(coin) transfers the IMD to the token contract but never calls PadToken.distribute(), unlike SwarmBudget.sweepToHolders and the curve/hook holder paths.

     The IMD stays as balanceOf(coin) - accountedImd until anyone calls distribute(); a coin with no holder tax has no automatic caller, so it can sit for a long time, and whoever buys right before calling distribute() shares in it (bounded by round-trip fees, not a flash-loan capture). No loss of funds.

     Fix: in claim, after the transfer, if (to == coin) PadToken(coin).distribute(); (a no-op inside a foreign unlock, as elsewhere).

     Coin with CoinFees(0,0,0,0); alice buys 100 IMD; the CTO module address (set at CreatorVault.initialize) calls ctoSetRecipient(coin, coin); bob buys 100 IMD (0.5 IMD creator fee credited).

     Anyone calls CreatorVault.claim(coin).

     Expected: holders' withdrawableDividendOf grows by their share of 0.5 IMD.

     Actual: imd.balanceOf(coin) - PadToken(coin).accountedImd() == 0.5e18 and withdrawableDividendOf(alice) == 0 until some caller invokes distribute(), after which alice is credited.

   • infoPadLens.quoteBuy reports fullFill = true for curve buys that BondingCurve.buy will reject under the max-buy windowlaunchpad/contracts/src/PadLens.sol:143

     During the max-buy window BondingCurve.buy caps a wallet at maxBuyTokens (2% of supply at the deployed settings) and reverts MaxBuyExceeded above it, but the lens quote neither caps nor flags it and returns fullFill = true. An integrator trusting the quote submits a transaction that reverts. Otherwise the curve quote matches buy() (same formulas and rounding) except for the completing-buy fee (separate Low).

     Fix: return or clamp against maxBuyTokens - boughtInWindow[coin][wallet] while block.timestamp < launchedAt + maxBuyWindow, or document that fullFill ignores the per-wallet cap.

     Testnet settings (maxBuyWindow 60 s, maxBuyBps 200), no-tax coin, at launch + 30 s: PadLens.quoteBuy(coin, 400e18) returns tokensOut = 388895743368291178285249164 (> 20,000,000e18) and fullFill = true; router.buyWith(coin, IMD, 400e18, 0, deadline, address(0)) from alice at the same time reverts MaxBuyExceeded.

   • infoBondingCurve grants PadHook an unlimited IMD allowance that no code path useslaunchpad/contracts/src/BondingCurve.sol:133

     initialize() approves the hook for type(uint256).max IMD, but _graduate pushes IMD with imd.safeTransfer(hook, poolImd) (line 289) and PadHook contains no transferFrom on IMD (grep over src/PadHook.sol: no match). The allowance is dead surface: every coin's raised IMD (invariant 1) sits behind a standing approval to another contract. Harmless with the current immutable hook; remove the approval so the curve's IMD can only leave through buy, sell and _graduate.

     Merged from four specialist reports.

     After the Base test deployment (curve.initialize(...)), imd.allowance(address(curve), address(hook)) == type(uint256).max (test/scratch/Judge.t.sol::test_allowanceDead passes) while grep -n transferFrom src/PadHook.sol returns nothing. Expected: no standing allowance from the contract that holds all pre-graduation IMD.

   • infoPadHook.flush / flushIntegrator 'router inside an unlock' branch is unreachable, and would be a hole if it ever became reachablelaunchpad/contracts/src/PadHook.sol:341

     The branch runs _flush (which calls PadToken.distribute with msg.sender == hook, i.e. past the D-27 gate) when the PoolManager is unlocked and the caller is the router. PadRouter only calls hook.flush / flushIntegrator in buyWith and _sell after _execute, and _execute calls poolManager.unlock, which reverts AlreadyUnlocked when an outside caller holds the lock, so msg.sender == router with isUnlocked() == true cannot happen today.

     If a later router version or another contract registered as router ever called flush from within a foreign unlock, holder dividends would be distributed while an outsider can hold flash-borrowed pool tokens, which is exactly what D-27 prevents. Suggest removing the branch (the router already flushes after its unlock) or asserting !poolManager.isUnlocked() before _flush.

     Static: PadRouter.sol lines 107-108 and 160-161 call _execute (PaymentSwapper.sol:104 poolManager.unlock) before _flushFees; PoolManager.unlock reverts AlreadyUnlocked when already unlocked, so the condition at PadHook.sol:340-341 (and 349-350) is never true for the router. Expected: no code path distributes dividends while an outside caller holds the unlock; actual: none today, but only by the router's current call order.

   • infoTrading-core edges not exercised by the suite (exact-out swaps via outside routers, Full-state graduation, completing-buy quotes, wrapped curve trades)launchpad/contracts/test/PondPad.t.sol:498

     The suite covers exact-in swaps through the router and one third-party exact-in buy in both orderings (grep -n amountSpecified test/*.t.sol shows only negative amounts), but not: exact-out buys and sells through an outside router (the afterSwap fee-on-gross formula and the exact-out PartialFill check), a completing buy executed under an outside unlock followed by graduate(), curve trades wrapped in a foreign unlock (the Medium finding), the completing-buy quote, or graduation at the min/max targets.

     The curve solvency fuzz is a 12-step seeded walk on one coin. In this review exact-out buys and sells and an exact-in sell through an outside router were checked in both currency orderings (test/scratch/ExactOut.t.sol): the hook charges exactly 4.5% of the gross IMD on a 3%-tax coin in every case and pending fees equal the hook's ERC-6909 claims before flush, so no defect there; the gap is coverage.

     Suggest promoting those cases into the suite and adding a stateful invariant test (handler with buy/sell/graduate) asserting imd.balanceOf(curve) == sum(raised) and x*y >= k.

     whole finding

     Not a defect in the contracts.

     Expected: invariants 1-4 exercised for exact-out swaps, both currency orderings, and the Full -> graduate() path.

     Actual: only exact-in swaps and inline graduation are tested.
