Audit the IMD Bell contracts in src/ at this commit.193411a0

It fixes the eleven findings of the earlier audit of commit 672a97b (job a300cdb8-36eb-408a-9b46-c8d94d108cda; README.md lists each fix) and adds a cap on the residual swap. MarketHoursHook is a Uniswap v4 hook that lets its coin trade only during a daily session: while the market is closed, limit orders wait in two books and each book is filled at one clearing price when a bell rings (opening 12:00 UTC, closing 16:00 UTC).

It creates BellGame (sealed commit-reveal guesses at the next opening price, points only, no tokens), BellRinger (rings the due bell, runs that bell's chores and pays the caller a capped reward priced from block.basefee) and SwarmBudget (pays two fixed nightly Intake requests); MarketHoursCoin is a fixed-supply ERC-20.

Priorities, first: whether each earlier finding is really fixed and whether any fix opened a new problem — the refusal of a ring inside an already unlocked PoolManager and the residual's error handling (only the pool's own price-limit refusal tolerated), the book reference taken from the pool's own price, the deposit cap weighted by distance and released exactly as counted, the void rule for a late opening bell, the ticket rule for orders that fill whole, the round-trip guard keyed on the transaction's signer, the ringer's zero-price path and its chores after a direct ring, the fee exemption for book-rationed inner orders, and the 120-bucket residual cap with its fee waiver against the 10,600,000 gas floor and the 16,777,216 per-transaction gas cap.

Then, as before: any way to lose, lock or steal user funds in the books, cancels, claims, the closed-market exit, refunds of a missed bell, or the fee splits and burns; any way to make a bell impossible to ring, to ring one twice, or to ring it with a manipulated price; rounding in the clearing price and in residual pool fills; reward farming or draining of the bell purse; front-running or griefing of the bells and of sealed guesses; and anything the univ4_hook launch policy would refuse at admission.

The tests run offline with forge test.

1.mediumDeposit cap is filled from the band's edge by one order of ten times the cap, closing the book to everyone for a 0.5 % feesrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:340
```
            counted = imdValue * (40_000 - 3 * uint256(int256(bucket > ref ? bucket - ref : ref - bucket))) / 40_000;
```
Fix 3 weights an order's count toward bookImdTotal by its distance from the reference, a tenth at the band's edge, and the cap is still one shared figure per book. One buy at ref - 12,000 of ten times depositCap() therefore sets bookImdTotal[s] exactly to the cap and every later placeOrder for that book reverts BookFull, buy or sell.

That order never trades (every crossing bucket and the zero-match reference sit above it), so the griefer's whole cost is the 0.5 % cancel fee before 10:50 (or the 0.5 % unfilled-order fee at claim) and the capital comes back the same day. In launch week (cap 1,000 IMD) that is 50 IMD and 10,000 IMD of capital per book; at CAP_MAX 5,000 IMD. Both the opening and closing books, and the guess tickets they fund, are closed to every other user while it lasts.

The earlier finding's fix made this ten times dearer than before but did not make it uneconomic. A sell at ref + 12,000 does the same (valued at the reference, then weighted a tenth). Fixing it needs a product decision on what the cap protects: a higher floor weight, a per-wallet share of a book, or charging the cancel and unfilled fees on the counted value rather than on the escrow.
Offline harness (test/Offline.t.sol DevEnv, pool at tick 0, day D in launch week so depositCap() == 1_000e18).

At D 01:00 a griefer with 10,000 IMD calls placeOrder(2D, true, lastCleared - 12_000, 10_000e18): succeeds and bookImdTotal(2D) == 1_000e18.

An honest wallet then calls placeOrder(2D, true, lastCleared, 1e18) and placeOrder(2D, false, lastCleared, 1e18): expected both accepted (the book holds 10,000 IMD of orders that cannot trade); actual both revert BookFull (0x9cce15fc).

At D 10:49 the griefer calls cancelOrder(id) and holds 9,950 IMD again: total cost 50e18 wei IMD.

Verified with test/scratch/Judge.t.sol::test_capGriefEdgeOrder on this commit (logs 'griefer cost (wei IMD) 50000000000000000000').
2.lowDistance weight also discounts the most marketable orders, so a book admits ten times its cap of crossing volumesrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:343
```
        if (total > depositCap()) revert BookFull();
```
The weight at line 340 is symmetric in |bucket - ref|, so a buy far above the reference (willing to pay up to about 3.3x) and a sell far below it (willing to sell down to about 0.3x), the orders most certain to trade, count a tenth as well.

The cap's stated purpose (comment at lines 334-336: a far order that will not trade cannot fill the book) does not apply to them, and the figure depositCap() reports bounds marketable volume only at ten times itself: a launch-week book capped at 1,000 IMD clears about 4,900 IMD of matched volume plus a residual against the pool. Nobody loses funds directly; the launch-week limit on how much a book can move through the bell is ten times looser than the README states.

A one-sided weight (full for buys at or above the reference and sells at or below it, distance discount only on the passive side) would restore the intent without changing the figures.
Offline harness, pool at tick 0, launch week (cap 1,000e18).

One wallet places placeOrder(2D, true, 12_000, 5_000e18) (counted 500e18) and placeOrder(2D, false, -12_000, 5_000e18) (5,000 coin valued 5,000 IMD at the reference, counted 500e18); bookImdTotal(2D) == 1_000e18 and both are accepted. indicativePrice(2D) returns P* = -180 and matched = 5_000e18 coin. ringOpen at 12:00: bells(2*D).pStar == -180, innerFill == 994438940197761099.

Claims pay the buy 4,999.999999999999998942 coin and the sell 4,877.229760469412206021 IMD net.

Expected: the second order reverts BookFull because 10,000 IMD of crossing orders exceed a 1,000 IMD cap; actual: admitted and cleared.

3.lowRound-trip guard keyed on tx.origin couples every account whose transactions share one signer (ERC-4337 bundlers, relayers, batch solvers)src/MarketHoursHook.sol:1059

        address id = tx.origin;

Fix 8 moved the one-direction-per-block identity from the router to tx.origin on the reasoning (comment at lines 1054-1057) that no router can spend somebody else's direction because it cannot sign for them. That holds only when every user signs their own transaction.

For ERC-4337 smart accounts, EIP-7702 delegations relayed by a sponsor, meta-transaction relayers and batch-settlement solvers, tx.origin is the bundler or relayer EOA shared by every account it serves, so the first account's direction in a block is charged to the bundler and every other account behind it is refused the opposite direction with RoundTrip() for that block.

A griefer needs only a 1-wei swap in the same bundle to make every opposite swap in it fail (the users still pay the bundler their prefunded gas). This is the same coupling the earlier finding described for routers, moved from users of one router to users of one bundler, which on mainnet is a handful of shared services. No funds are lost; the guard is documented as a speed bump, so this is a residual of the fix rather than a bypass.

Keying on the router-reported msgSender() where available, or on both the signer and the swap's sender so only a same-actor round trip is refused, would keep the speed bump for EOAs without binding unrelated accounts together. Reported by four specialists; merged here.

Offline harness: pool initialised with a position [-12000, 0), opening bell rung at D 12:00, next block.

Two accounts A and B hold coin and IMD and approved PoolSwapTest. vm.prank(A, bundler): router.swap(key, SwapParams(zeroForOne=true, amountSpecified=-1, MIN_SQRT_PRICE+1)) succeeds and sets lastSwap[bundler] = (block.number << 1) | 1.

Same block, vm.prank(B, bundler): router.swap(key, SwapParams(false, -1e18, MAX_SQRT_PRICE-1)).

Expected: B's first swap of the block is accepted.

Actual: it reverts and the revert data contains MarketHoursHook.RoundTrip.selector (0xfc534384, wrapped by the manager's hook-call error).

Control: with vm.prank(A, A) and vm.prank(B, B) both succeed.

The attached proof (the permissions specialist's test) fails on this commit with 'refused by the round-trip rule'.

4.lowRing reward is priced at the ETH/IMD pool's live spot, which the ringer can move in the same transaction to collect the 3 IMD capsrc/BellRinger.sol:267
```
        uint256 r = (costWei * 3 / 2) * (sp * sp >> 96) >> 96;
```
_reward reads slot0 of the canonical ETH/IMD pool at the moment of the ring and converts the gas cost at that spot. Nothing ties the read to a time-weighted or earlier price, and the hook's PoolUnlocked refusal only stops a ring from inside an unlock: the ringer can run a swap in its own unlock, let the manager lock again, call ring(), then swap back, all in one transaction.

Selling IMD for ETH with a price limit parks the price in the empty range above the pool's liquidity at no further cost, since v4 moves the price to the limit through zero liquidity, and the read is only masked at sqrt prices of 2^128 or more, so the attacker stops short of that. Each ring then pays min(cap, 1.5 x gas x basefee x manipulated price) = the 3 IMD cap instead of the gas-fair reward.

The loss is bounded by the cap (3 IMD per bell, 6 IMD a day from the bell purse) and is only profitable when the ETH/IMD pool's liquidity near spot is thin enough that the round trip's fee and slippage cost less than cap minus fair reward, which the contracts do not control. Pricing the reward from a price the ringer did not author (for example the sqrt price stored at the end of the previous ring) or lowering the cap toward the typical fair reward would close it.
Offline harness: ETH/IMD pool (currency0 native, fee 10_000, spacing 200, no hook) initialised at sqrt 10<<96 (100 IMD per ETH) with one position [40000, 60000) of L = 1e18; bell purse topped up with 10 IMD; setRingRate 1 gwei; clock at D 12:00, fresh block.

Honest path: ring{gas: 13_000_000}() pays 372317550000000000 wei IMD (0.372 IMD).

Attacker path, same starting state, all in one call: (1) router.swap(ethKey, SwapParams(zeroForOne=false, amountSpecified=-100e18, sqrtPriceLimit=100<<96)) sells IMD and parks the price at 10,000 IMD per ETH; (2) ring{gas: 13_000_000}() is not refused and pays 3000000000000000000 wei IMD, the RING_REWARD_CAP; (3) router.swap{value: gotEth}(ethKey, SwapParams(true, -gotEth, 10<<96)) restores the price.

Net: ETH delta 0, IMD delta +2847697523760877436 wei (+2.85 IMD, 7.6x the honest reward) drawn from the purse.

Expected: the reward follows the gas spent at a price the caller cannot set inside its own transaction; actual: it follows whatever spot the caller sets before ring().

5.lowA cancelled minimum order is a paid guess ticket for 0.0025 IMD, so a wallet buys one sealed guess per bucket and reveals the right one after the answer is publicsrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:541
```
        if (o.cancelled) return true;
```
ticketPaid returns true for any cancelled order, and the cheapest cancelled order is a MIN_ORDER buy (0.5 IMD) cancelled before 10:50 for a fee of ceil(0.5e18 x 50 / 10,000) = 2.5e15 wei (0.0025 IMD), with the rest of the escrow returned.

BellGame.reveal runs only after settle has fixed the scored bucket, and the reveal rule lets a wallet pick which of its commits to reveal (the comment at BellGame.sol:145-146 says a wallet holding several tickets reveals its best, so the selective reveal is design).

Together they make the sealed guess meaningless: a wallet places and cancels N minimum orders in a loop, commits one guess per bucket around the reference, and after settle reveals the commit that equals the scored bucket for distance 0 and first place. Three wallets take all three places every day for a few tenths of an IMD each. The game pays points only, so no funds are at risk; the defect is that the ticket price does not bind the guess.

Binding one commit per wallet per day, requiring every commit of a wallet to be revealed and scoring the worst, or pricing a ticket well above the cancel fee on the smallest order would close it.
Offline harness, day D 01:00, reference 0.

Wallet W with 100 IMD loops k = -20..20: id = placeOrder(2D, true, 0, 0.5e18); cancelOrder(id); game.commit(id, keccak256(abi.encode(uint256(k60 + 887_280), salt, W, D+1))).

W's IMD balance falls by exactly 102500000000000000 wei (41 x 0.0025 IMD).

Day D+1: ringOpen at 12:00, settle(D+1) at 12:30 (scored = 0 here).

W calls reveal(id_for_bucket(scored), scored + 887_280, salt): accepted (ticketPaid true for a cancelled order), distOf(D+1, W) == 0.

At 16:00 tally(D+1, W) credits 3 points.

Expected: a sealed guess the wallet cannot choose after the answer is public; actual: the wallet picks among 41 sealed guesses after seeing it, for 0.1025 IMD.

6.infoThe ringer's only settle chore runs at the closing bell, after the reveal window has already shutsrc/BellRinger.sol:186
```
            _chore(6, game, abi.encodeWithSelector(0x8df82800, d), GAS_SETTLE); // settle(uint256)
```
BellGame.reveal requires the day to be settled and block.timestamp % 1 days < 16:00. The ringer calls settle(d) only as a closing-bell chore, at or after 16:00, when no reveal can happen any more; the opening chores do not settle because the window has not ended at 12:00.

So the one automated settle a day gets never opens a reveal window: if no player calls settle(d) by hand between openedAt + 1800 and 16:00, nobody can reveal, the day scores nothing, and the close chore marks it settled so finalRanks reports it final with empty ranks. The chore's 80,000-gas stipend (part of the ringer's GasShort floor and of the reward paid from the purse) buys nothing for reveals.

Settle is permissionless, so a player who committed can call it; this is a liveness gap in the automation, not a loss.
Offline harness.

Day D 01:00: a player places placeOrder(2*D, true, 0, 1e18) and commits a guess for day D+1.

Day D+1 12:00: ringOpen(); nobody calls settle.

16:00, next block: BellRinger.ring{gas: 13_000_000}() rings the close and the settle chore succeeds: dayState(D+1) returns settled == true, isVoid == false.

The player's reveal(orderId, guess, salt) at 16:00 reverts RevealClosed (before 16:00 it reverted NotSettled), and finalRanks(D+1).isFinal == true with no ranks.

Expected: the automated settle lands inside [openedAt + 1800, 16:00); actual: every committed ticket for the day is unrevealable unless a user settled by hand.

7.infoBells can be rung before the pool is initialised; fix 7 guards placeOrder and cancelOrder but not _ringsrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:641
```
        if (bl.rung) revert BellAlreadyRung();
```
_ring checks the rung flag, the manager's lock and the gas floor, but not initialized. placeOrder and cancelOrder were given that check in fix 7; the bells were not. Anyone can therefore ring the opening (12:00-16:00) and closing (16:00-20:00) bells of a day on which the hook exists but the factory has not yet initialised the pool. The ring succeeds with an empty book: pStar 0, lastCleared unchanged at 0, the day's settle window opened, the checkpoint counters reset.

If the factory initialises the pool later that day, the opening bell for that day is already consumed, beforeSwap already passes AwaitingBell, and book 2d+1 becomes enterable against the initialisation reference without an opening clearing. No funds are at risk because no order can exist before initialisation; reported for the asymmetry with fix 7. A one-line if (!initialized) revert NotEnterable(); at the top of _ring mirrors _enterable.
Offline harness: deploy a fresh MarketHoursHook by CREATE2 at a flag address (test/Base.sol helpers) and do not initialise its pool (initialized() == false).

Warp to D 12:00 and call ringOpen() from any address.

Expected: refused, as placeOrder (NotEnterable) and cancelOrder (CancelLocked) are before initialisation.

Actual: succeeds; bells(2D) returns rung == true and pStar == 0; window() returns day == D and openedAt == D86400 + 43200; a second ringOpen() the same day reverts BellAlreadyRung.

8.infoOVERHEAD undercounts the ring transaction's gas by about 19,000 on the current Foundry; the project's own test fails, the 1.5x factor still covers itsrc/BellRinger.sol:69
```
    uint256 public constant OVERHEAD = 60_000;
```
The reward counts gasStart - gasleft() plus a fixed OVERHEAD of 60,000 for the gas the in-call count cannot see (the 21,000 base, calldata, dispatch, price read, payment and event).

The repository's own test test_R_rewardRecomputedAndOverheadCovers asserts that this count covers the whole transaction and it fails on forge 1.8.3 (the README says 1.5.1 was used): for the cold opening ring the counted gas is 2,485,852 against a measured transaction cost of 2,505,138, so OVERHEAD would need to be about 79,000.

Because the reward multiplies the count by 1.5 the ringer is still paid more than the ring costs and no fund is lost, but the stated guarantee that OVERHEAD alone covers the uncounted gas does not hold under the current toolchain's metering. Raise OVERHEAD to the measured figure (about 80,000) or re-derive it on the toolchain used for deployment.

Audit flowAgent #784found 2 low, 2 info
Review complete. The findings file is written and validated against the tree, and no source file was changed (only .imd-findings.json and my scratch probe under test/scratch/).

Outcome. The eleven earlier fixes and the new residual cap hold up under the control-flow passes (Execution Trace, Periphery, First Principles). I found no critical or high defect, so no proof files were attached. Four lower findings are recorded.

What I verified on the priority list

The ring refusal inside an unlocked PoolManager reads the manager's real transient lock slot via exttload. All eleven hard-coded selectors and the pools-mapping slot used by raw calls match v4-core and the hook's ABI (checked with cast sig).

The residual swap's try tolerates only PriceLimitAlreadyExceeded, and I confirmed no other pool refusal is reachable on a sane pool: the fee-inward limit and the 120-bucket cap always land strictly inside the tick range and on the correct side of the current price, so a bell cannot be bricked that way. Hook callbacks are skipped for the hook's own swaps, so the closing residual is not blocked by MarketClosed.

The book reference is only moved by bells, and no bell can ring while a book is open for entry, so the band an order was placed under is the band it clears under.

Deposit cap counted amounts are released exactly on cancel. Payout and charge roundings conserve escrow (payouts round down, charges round up, the lighter side fills exactly).

The void rule, the whole-fill ticket, the zero-price reward path, the direct-ring chores path, and the inner-partial-fill fee waiver behave as the README states.

Gas: the ringer's floor plus chores clears the hook's floor through the 63/64 forwarding, and the cap bounds residual tick crossings to 120.

Findings recorded

Low: one far order of ten times the cap closes a book for everyone at a 0.5 % cost (50 IMD per day at launch). Confirmed by a scratch test.

Low: the tx.origin round-trip key couples all users behind one bundler or relayer in a block. Confirmed by a scratch test.

Info: the ringer's fixed overhead undercounts the transaction gas by about 19k on forge 1.8.3; the repository's own test fails, but the 1.5x factor still covers the ringer.

Info: beforeInitialize stores the reference without the clamp _scan applies, which only matters for an absurd initial price.

Limits. The suite ran offline with stand-ins for IMD, the Intake, the burn executor and the factory's claimFees, so behaviour of those real contracts (zero-value IMD transfers, caller restrictions on claimFees) is untested here. The launch policy text itself was not available, so admission was checked only against the repository's own admission tests.

lowA book can be filled to its cap from the band's edge for 0.5 % of ten times the cap, refusing every other ordersrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:340
The distance weighting (fix 3) counts an order at the band's edge (|bucket - ref| = 12,000 ticks) at one tenth of its IMD value, and the cap is checked per book against bookImdTotal[s]. One buy at ref - 12,000 of ten times depositCap() therefore sets bookImdTotal[s] exactly to the cap, and every later placeOrder for that book reverts BookFull.

The order never trades (the zero-match reference and every crossing bucket sit above it), so the griefer's whole cost is the 0.5 % cancel fee before 10:50 (CANCEL_FEE_BPS) or the 0.5 % unfilled-order fee at claim. A sell at ref + 12,000 does the same: it is valued at the reference (_coinToImd(amount, _sqrtAt(ref))), 3.3x below its own bucket, then weighted a tenth.

In the launch week (CAP0 = 1,000 IMD) closing a book costs 50 IMD and 10,000 IMD of capital returned the same day; at CAP_MAX it costs 5,000 IMD a day. Both bells and the guess tickets they fund are blocked for everyone else while it lasts. The earlier finding's fix made this dearer than before (a far order used to count in full) but did not make it uneconomic at launch.
Offline harness (test/Offline.t.sol DevEnv, cap 1,000 IMD on day D).

At D 01:00: griefer.placeOrder(2D, true, lastCleared - 12_000, 10_000e18) succeeds and bookImdTotal(2D) == depositCap() == 1_000e18.

Expected: a 10,000 IMD order that cannot trade should not exhaust a 1,000 IMD book.

Actual: trader.placeOrder(2*D, true, lastCleared, 1e18) reverts BookFull.

At D 10:49 griefer.cancelOrder(id) returns 9,950e18: the griefer's total cost is 50e18 IMD (verified with a scratch Foundry test on this commit: 'cap 1000e18 griefer cost 50e18').

Fix option: floor the weight higher (for example a quarter at the edge) or charge the cancel/unfilled fee on the counted-at-reference value rather than on amount, or cap the per-wallet share of a book; any of these needs a product decision on the cap's purpose.
lowRound-trip guard keyed on tx.origin couples every user behind one relayer or ERC-4337 bundler in a blocksrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:1059
Fix 8 moved the one-direction-per-block identity from the router to tx.origin. For plain EOAs that is the signer, but for smart accounts the transaction signer is the bundler or relayer, so all users whose operations are bundled into one transaction, or relayed by the same EOA within one block, now share a single direction.

The first user's buy makes every other user's sell in that block revert RoundTrip (and vice versa), and a bundler that includes both directions sees the second operation fail on-chain. This is the same coupling the earlier finding described for routers, now on relayers, and it is the only hook check that can make an otherwise valid swap fail because of a stranger's trade. The hook comment calls this a speed bump, so it is reported as a residual of the fix rather than a bypass.
Offline harness.

Ring the open bell at D 12:00. vm.prank(alice, bundler) then router.swap(key, SwapParams(false, -10e18, MAX_SQRT_PRICE - 1)) (alice buys the coin) succeeds.

In the same block vm.prank(bob, bundler) then router.swap(key, SwapParams(true, -10e18, MIN_SQRT_PRICE + 1)) (bob sells).

Expected: bob's own first swap of the block is accepted.

Actual: it reverts (RoundTrip wrapped by the PoolManager's hook-call revert), verified with a scratch Foundry test on this commit.

Fix option: key on the router-reported sender when the router exposes msgSender() and fall back to tx.origin otherwise, or key on both tx.origin and the swap's sender so that only a same-signer round trip is refused.
infoThe ringer's fixed OVERHEAD undercounts the transaction's gas by about 19,000 on the current Foundry; the 1.5x factor still covers itsrc/BellRinger.sol:69
The reward counts gasStart - gasleft() plus a fixed OVERHEAD of 60,000 for the gas the in-call count cannot see (the 21,000 base, calldata, dispatch, price read, payment and event).

The repository's own test test_R_rewardRecomputedAndOverheadCovers asserts that this count covers the whole transaction and it fails on this machine's forge 1.8.3 (the README says 1.5.1 was used): for the cold opening ring the counted gas is 2,485,849 against a measured transaction cost of 2,505,135, so OVERHEAD would need to be about 79,000.

Because the reward multiplies the count by 1.5, the ringer is still paid more than the ring costs, so no fund is lost; but the stated guarantee that OVERHEAD alone covers the uncounted gas does not hold under the current compiler/EVM metering, and the margin shrinks as the hook's warm-path cost is already included in the count.
forge test --match-test test_R_rewardRecomputedAndOverheadCovers on this commit with forge 1.8.3 (solc 0.8.26, via-IR, cancun): FAIL 'the reward covers the whole transaction's gas: 2485849 < 2505135'.

Expected: counted + 1 >= txCost.

Actual: 19,286 short on the open bell.

The 184 other tests pass.

Fix: raise OVERHEAD to the measured figure (about 80,000) or derive the shortfall from the test on the toolchain used for deployment.
infobeforeInitialize sets the first reference without the tick-range clamp that _scan applies, so an extreme initial price lets a griefer make every bell revert for freesrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:993
_scan clamps the pool-derived reference to +/-875,220 so that the whole band (+/-12,000 ticks) stays inside TickMath's range, but beforeInitialize stores the initial tick's bucket unclamped, and until the first swap checkpoints a price, _scan takes r.a = lastCleared as is. placeOrder only checks the bucket against the grid and the band, so with lastCleared = 880,020 it accepts a buy and a sell at bucket 892,020.

The bell's scan then evaluates _sqrtAt(892,020) for that bucket (S[i] and B[i] both non-zero) and TickMath reverts InvalidTick, so ringOpen reverts for the whole book. After 16:00 every order in the book refunds in full with no fee (an unrung bell pays nothing), so the griefer can repeat it every day at no cost, and lastCleared never moves because no bell rings.

The precondition is an initial price beyond 1.0001^875,250 IMD per coin (about e^87.5), which no sane launch sets, so this is reported as an inconsistency to close rather than a reachable loss.
Deploy the hook with IMD as currency1 (bucket == pool tick) and have the factory initialize the pool at TickMath.getSqrtPriceAtTick(880_000): lastCleared() == 880_020.

On the next day before 11:50: placeOrder(2D, true, 892_020, 1e18) and placeOrder(2D, false, 892_020, 1e18) both succeed (BadBucket passes since 892,020 <= ref + 12,000).

At 12:00 ringOpen(): expected a clearing price inside the tick range or a refusal at placement; actual revert TickMath.InvalidTick from _scan, and every later ringOpen for the book reverts the same way.

Fix: apply the same +/-875,220 clamp in beforeInitialize (or refuse initialisation outside it), and have placeOrder reject buckets outside TickMath's range.
Audit permissionsAgent #1637found 2 low, 1 info
The review is complete and the findings file is written and validated against the tree. Three findings, none above low. Time budget does not allow further test runs, so I am stopping here.

What I checked (Access Control, Trust Gap, Asymmetry passes over all of src/)

Every state-changing entry point and its guard: the hook's order, bell, exit, harvest, claim and burn functions, the three v4 callbacks, the ringer, the game and the swarm purse. The only role-restricted paths are the manager-only callbacks, the factory-only beforeInitialize, the owner-only cancel and commit, and the Intake-only deliveries. All guards are in place and the constructor hands out no mutable role.

The hardcoded selectors and slots the access checks depend on all verify with cast: exttload, extsload, bells, ringOpen, ringClose, the five chores, claimFees(uint64), the v4 IS_UNLOCKED_SLOT and the PriceLimitAlreadyExceeded selector. v4's Hooks library skips beforeSwap for the hook's own swaps, so residuals and exits bypass the market-closed and round-trip checks as the design assumes.

Earlier fixes in my area hold: the PoolUnlocked refusal (fix 1), the zero-price NoPrice path (fix 9), the ringer's chores after a direct ring with a one-word choresDone lock (fix 10), the cap released exactly as counted (fix 3), the void rule (fix 4) and the initialized gate on orders (fix 7). The entry and cancel windows, the claim deadlines and the two bells' windows are mutually consistent with no overlap.

Findings written to .imd-findings.json

Low. The tx.origin round-trip guard (fix 8) still couples users who share a signer. A bundler, relayer or batch solver is tx.origin for all its users, so one user's 1-wei sell blocks every other user's buy in that bundle. Reproduced in test/scratch/OriginCoupling.t.sol: same origin, different users, second swap reverts RoundTrip; different origins pass.

Low. The ring reward is priced from the ETH/IMD pool's live spot, which the ringer can move in its own transaction. In the offline harness with a thin pool, an honest ring pays 0.376 IMD while a ringer who parks the price high first collects the 3 IMD cap and nets +2.85 IMD after unwinding. With deeper liquidity the move costs more than it earns, so the loss is bounded by the cap and depends on the external pool's depth. Measured in test/scratch/RewardSpot.t.sol.

Info. Bells can be rung before the pool is initialised. Fix 7 gated orders but not _ring, so a stranger can consume the launch day's opening bell with an empty book. No funds are at risk.

Not found: no permission bypass, no way to ring a bell twice or make one unringable through access paths, no confused-deputy path through the chores or callbacks, and no asymmetry between place and cancel or between the two bells' state writes.

Limits: math, rounding, economics of the book and residual, and gas-floor measurement are outside my assigned area and were only read, not re-derived or fuzzed. The two scratch tests are mine and import the repo's harness, so they are reproductions, not standalone proofs; none of the findings is high enough to require one.

lowRound-trip guard keyed on tx.origin still couples unrelated users who share a transaction signer (ERC-4337 bundlers, relayers, batch solvers)src/MarketHoursHook.sol:1059
Fix 8 replaced the router-keyed identity with tx.origin, on the reasoning (comment at src/MarketHoursHook.sol:1054-1057) that 'no router can spend somebody else's direction, since it cannot sign for them'. That holds only when every user signs their own transaction.

Whenever several users' swaps are carried by one signer, the signer is tx.origin for all of them: an ERC-4337 bundler executing a bundle of smart-account userOps, a meta-transaction relayer, or a batch-settlement solver (CoW, UniswapX-style fillers) clearing several users' orders in one transaction.

For all of these the guard behaves exactly as the earlier finding 8 described for a msgSender-less router: the first user's direction locks every other user of that signer out of the opposite direction for the block.

A griefer needs only a 1-wei sell placed in the same bundle (or handed to the same relayer) to make every buy in it revert with RoundTrip; smart-account users still pay the bundler their prefunded gas for the failed userOp, and a solver batch containing one buy and one sell of this coin can never settle. The hook's own emergencyExit and residual swaps are unaffected (v4 skips beforeSwap for the hook's own swaps), so the coupling only hits outside traders.

Severity is low because the guard is documented as a speed bump, not a wall, but the fix moved the coupling rather than removing it, and the comment's claim is false for account-abstraction traffic.
State: pool initialised, opening bell rung for the day, an IMD position in range below spot.

Users g and h hold coin and IMD and approved PoolSwapTest.

Both transactions are signed by one EOA b (vm.prank(user, b) sets msg.sender=user, tx.origin=b).

(1) prank(g, b): router.swap(key, SwapParams(zeroForOne=true, amountSpecified=-1, MIN_SQRT_PRICE+1)) succeeds and sets lastSwap[b] = (block.number<<1)|1.

(2) Same block, prank(h, b): router.swap(key, SwapParams(zeroForOne=false, amountSpecified=-1e18, MAX_SQRT_PRICE-1)).

Expected: h's buy executes, since h is a different user with no prior swap this block.

Actual: the call reverts with RoundTrip() (wrapped by the manager), because lastSwap is keyed on tx.origin=b.

Control: with prank(g, g) and prank(h, h) both swaps succeed.

Verified with test/scratch/OriginCoupling.t.sol on this commit (test_sameOriginDifferentUsersAreCoupled passes, i.e. the second swap is refused by RoundTrip).

Fix direction: key the guard on the swap's economic actor rather than the signer, e.g. the router-reported msgSender() when the router exposes it, falling back to the address sender parameter v4 passes to beforeSwap (which the hook currently discards), and accept that a msgSender-less router couples its own users; or drop the round-trip guard in favour of the existing per-block price breaker, which already bounds what a round trip can extract.
lowRing reward is priced from the ETH/IMD pool's live spot, which the ringer can move in the same transaction to collect the 3 IMD cap on every ringsrc/BellRinger.sol:256
_reward reads slot0 of the canonical ETH/IMD pool at the moment of the ring and converts the gas cost at that spot (src/BellRinger.sol:267). Nothing ties the read to a time-weighted or earlier price, and the hook's PoolUnlocked refusal only stops a ring from inside an unlock: the ringer can run a swap in its own unlock, lock the manager, call ring(), then swap back, all in one transaction.

Selling IMD for ETH raises IMD-per-ETH; with a price limit the swap parks the price in the empty range above the pool's liquidity at no further cost, since v4 moves the price to the limit through zero liquidity. The read is masked to sqrt prices below 2^128 (10^19 IMD per ETH or more pays nothing), so the attacker simply stops short of that. Each ring then pays min(cap, 1.5 x gas x basefee x manipulated price) = the 3 IMD cap instead of the gas-fair reward.

The loss is bounded by the cap (3 IMD per bell, 6 IMD per day from the bell purse) and is only profitable when the ETH/IMD pool's liquidity near spot is thin enough that the round trip's fee and slippage cost less than cap minus fair reward; the contracts do not control that depth.

Access x economics: the permissionless ring() plus a formula over a caller-movable price.
Offline harness (test/scratch/RewardSpot.t.sol on this commit): ETH/IMD pool (currency0 = native, fee 10_000, spacing 200, no hook) initialised at sqrt 10<<96 (100 IMD per ETH) with one position [40000, 60000); bell purse topped up with 10 IMD; basefee 1 gwei; clock at 12:00 UTC of the trading day.

Honest path: ring() from a fresh EOA pays 376406143500000000 wei IMD (0.376 IMD).

Attacker path, same starting state, liquidity L = 1e18: (1) router.swap(ethKey, SwapParams(zeroForOne=false, amountSpecified=-100e18, sqrtPriceLimit=100<<96)) sells IMD and parks the price at 10,000 IMD per ETH; (2) ring() pays 3000000000000000000 wei IMD, the RING_REWARD_CAP; (3) router.swap(ethKey, SwapParams(zeroForOne=true, amountSpecified=-gotEth, sqrtPriceLimit=10<<96)) with the ETH received restores the price.

Net for the attacker: ETH balance unchanged, IMD +2847697523760877436 wei (+2.85 IMD) after fees, i.e. 7.5x the honest reward, drawn from the bell purse.

Control with L = 1e20: the same 100 IMD only moves the reward to 0.4546 IMD and the attacker nets -1.45 IMD, so the attack needs thin liquidity.

Expected: the reward follows the gas actually spent at a price the caller cannot set inside its own transaction.

Actual: the reward follows whatever spot the caller sets before calling ring().

Fix direction: price the reward from the manager's observed price at a block the ringer did not author, e.g. the ETH/IMD pool's price checkpointed by a previous ring (store sqrtPrice at the end of each ring and use the stored one for the next), or require the price read to be taken when the manager has not been unlocked in the current transaction; alternatively lower the cap toward the typical fair reward so the manipulation gain cannot exceed the round-trip cost.
infoBells can be rung before the pool is initialised; fix 7 guards placeOrder and cancelOrder but not ringOpen/ringClosesrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:641
_ring checks the rung flag, the manager's lock and the gas floor, but not initialized. placeOrder and cancelOrder were given that check in fix 7 so that no order is valued against a reference that initialisation then moves; the bells were not. Anyone can therefore ring the opening (12:00-16:00 UTC) and closing (16:00-20:00 UTC) bells of the day on which the hook is deployed but the factory has not yet initialised the pool.

The ring succeeds with an empty book: pStar 0, lastCleared unchanged at 0, the day's window opened, the checkpoint counters reset, and the ringer's ring() runs its chores and tries to pay from an empty purse. If the factory initialises the pool later that day, the opening bell for that day is already consumed, beforeSwap already passes AwaitingBell, and book 2d+1 becomes enterable against the initialisation reference without an opening clearing having happened.

No funds are at risk because no order can exist before initialisation; reported for the asymmetry with fix 7 and because it leaves a BellRung event with pStar 0 in the launch day's history.
State: hook deployed by its constructor, pool not yet initialised (initialized == false), block.timestamp at 12:00 UTC of day d.

Call hook.ringOpen() from any address.

Expected: refused, as placeOrder (NotEnterable) and cancelOrder (CancelLocked) are before initialisation.

Actual: succeeds; bells(2d) returns rung == true, pStar == 0; window.day == d; emit BellRung(2d, 0, 0, 0, caller).

A second ringOpen() the same day reverts BellAlreadyRung, so if the factory initialises the pool at 13:00 the same day no opening clearing can run for day d.

Fix: add if (!initialized) revert NotEnterable(); (or a dedicated error) at the top of _ring, mirroring _enterable.
Audit mathAgent #460found 1 low, 1 info
The review is complete. The findings file holds two substantiated findings; the math core of the hook came through the three assigned guides clean.

What I checked, and what held

Clearing and fill arithmetic in _outcome, _fills and _ring: I traced every rounding direction by hand. Payout ratios floor, charge ratios ceil, and the sum of what the heavy side is charged is always at least what the hook spent plus the burn credit, so claims stay solvent. The light side's fills sum to at most the matched amount. No underflow is reachable in the refund-minus-fee path, and the uint64 ratio casts stay below 1e18.

Residual cap: the slot0 read, the 96-bit shift, CAP_DOWN (equal to the sqrt price at tick 7,200), the 2^192 reciprocal for the up direction, and the nearer-limit comparison are all correct. The fee-inward limit guarantees the pool never fills worse than P*, which is why charge = max(pay, spent) only ever burns an improvement. The 120-bucket bound caps initialised ticks crossed, the measured worst case of 9.18 M fits under the 10.6 M floor, and ringing through the ringer needs about 11.46 M, under the 16,777,216 transaction cap.

Reference and deposit cap: the reference clamp to plus or minus 875,220 keeps the band inside the tick range after any bell; the distance weighting never truncates below a tenth, and cancels release exactly what was counted.

Earlier fixes 1 to 11: all hold as described. The selectors, the manager's IS_UNLOCKED_SLOT, the PriceLimitAlreadyExceeded selector and the fee-root constant all verify.

BellRinger reward: the price read, the 2^128 guard and the product order cannot overflow, and a zero or absent price pays nothing.

Findings written to .imd-findings.json

Low: the round-trip guard now keys on tx.origin, so every smart account served by one bundler or relayer shares one direction per block. The second unrelated account's opposite swap reverts with RoundTrip. This is the same coupling the earlier finding 8 removed, moved from routers to bundlers. Proof test test/scratch/RoundTripBundler.t.sol fails on this commit for that reason.

Info: beforeInitialize does not clamp the initial reference the way _scan does. An initial tick at or beyond 875,251 makes every bell revert forever while buys can still be escrowed. It needs an absurd factory price, so it is recorded as a guard inconsistency, not a loss.

Not covered: the univ4_hook launch policy text was not provided, so admission rules could not be checked against it. Everything in the run was done on the local offline PoolManager with forge, with one scratch test compiled and run.

lowRound-trip guard keyed on tx.origin couples every smart account behind one bundler or relayer (the fix for earlier finding 8 reintroduces the coupling it removed)src/MarketHoursHook.sol:1059
Fix 8 moved the one-direction-per-block identity from the router to tx.origin. For an externally owned account that is the signer, but for ERC-4337 smart accounts, EIP-7702 delegations relayed by a sponsor, and any wallet whose transactions a relayer submits, tx.origin is the bundler or relayer EOA, shared by every account it serves.

The guard's state is lastSwap[tx.origin], so the first account's direction in a block is charged to the bundler and every other account it serves in that block is refused the opposite direction with RoundTrip(). The earlier audit called the same coupling (keyed on the router) a defect; the new key moves it from users of one router to users of one bundler, which on mainnet is a handful of shared services.

A griefer can also exploit it deliberately: any user operation it sends through a popular bundler fixes that bundler's direction for the block and makes every opposite swap in the bundle revert (the bundler then pays for the failed inclusion or drops the operation). No funds are lost; it is a denial of trading during the four-hour session for everyone behind a shared origin.

Keying on the resolved swapper when the router reports one (msgSender()) and on tx.origin only as a fallback, or on keccak(tx.origin, sender), would keep the signer-based speed bump for EOAs without binding unrelated accounts together.
State: the day's opening bell has rung, the pool has liquidity on both sides of spot.

Input: in one block, bundler EOA B sends a transaction whose sender (smart account A) swaps coin -> IMD (zeroForOne) through any router, then a second transaction whose sender is an unrelated smart account C swapping IMD -> coin (oneForZero) through the same or another router.

Expected: both swaps go through, as they would for two EOAs.

Actual: the second reverts inside beforeSwap with RoundTrip() because lastSwap[B] == (block.number << 1) | 1 and dir differs.

The scratch test test/scratch/RoundTripBundler.t.sol does exactly this with vm.prank(sender, origin) for two senders and one origin: the second router.swap call returns ok == false and its revert data contains MarketHoursHook.RoundTrip.selector (run on this commit: the assertion that account B's swap is refused held).

infobeforeInitialize does not hold the initial reference inside the tick range as _scan does, so an extreme initial price leaves every bell unringablesrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:993
Fix 2 holds the reference a bell sets to +/-875,220 so that the whole band lo..lo+24,000 stays a valid tick (the comment at the clamp says so: the grid's last bucket is 887,220). The reference set at initialisation has no such clamp: it is the nearest bucket of the initial tick, up to +/-887,280, which is itself past MAX_TICK (887,272).

With |reference| >= 875,280 the band's far edge is beyond the tick range and TickMath.getSqrtPriceAtTick reverts with InvalidTick inside _scan at the first bucket past the edge, so ringOpen and ringClose revert for every book until a bell sets lastCleared, which only a bell can do: no bell can ever ring. placeOrder still accepts buy orders (a buy never prices the reference), so IMD can be escrowed into a book whose bell cannot ring; it is only recoverable as a whole refund after the book's deadline.

Sell orders revert at placement (they price the reference). The precondition is the factory initialising the pool at |tick| >= 875,251, a price of about 1e38 IMD per coin wei, which no sane launch does, so this is recorded as an inconsistency between two guards rather than a reachable loss; the same one-line clamp used in _scan (if (t > 875_220) t = 875_220; if (t < -875_220) t = -875_220;) before _nearestBucket would close it.
State: factory initialises the pool through the hook with sqrtPriceX96 = TickMath.getSqrtPriceAtTick(875_251) (coin as currency0) or the mirror for IMD as currency0.

Then lastCleared = _nearestBucket(875_251) = 875_280 (875,251 / 60 = 14,587 remainder 31 > 30, so 14,588 * 60).

Expected (by fix 2's rule): a reference held at 875,220 so the band 863,220..887,220 is priced.

Actual: _scan computes lo = 863,280 and at i = 399 calls _sqrtAt(863,280 + 23,940 = 887,220) fine, at i = 400 _sqrtAt(887,280) which reverts InvalidTick; ringOpen at 12:00 reverts, ringClose at 16:00 reverts, and the same every day.

A buy placed with placeOrder(2*(d+1), true, 875_280, 1e18) succeeds and is claimable only after (d+1)*86400 + 57600 as a full refund.

#625Claudefound 1 medium, 3 low
I found four defects: one medium and three low. None is critical or high, so none needed a proof test. They are in .imd-findings.json; I checked that the file parses and that each path, line and snippet matches the tree. I wrote scratch tests for the first three; they behaved as described, and I then deleted test/scratch/. No other files were changed. forge build left its usual out/ and cache/ folders, which git ignores.

Findings

Medium: the deposit cap lets through 10× its limit in orders that will trade (src/MarketHoursHook.sol:340). Fix 3 discounts an order by its distance from the reference whichever side it is on. That also discounts the orders most certain to fill: buys far above the reference and sells far below it. With this week's cap of 1,000 IMD, a 5,000 IMD buy at +12,000 and a 5,000-coin sell at −12,000 count 500 each, so both are accepted. At the bell they cleared about 5,000 coin against each other at P* = −180. Fix: count orders on the side that will trade in full, and discount only buys below and sells above the reference.

Low: the round-trip guard couples users who share a relayer (src/MarketHoursHook.sol:1059). The guard is keyed on tx.origin, which is the same for every user behind one ERC-4337 bundler or meta-transaction relayer. In one block, user 1 bought through a shared signer, then user 2's sell was refused with RoundTrip(). This is the coupling fix 8 meant to remove, moved from routers to relayers.

Low: first place in the guessing game can be bought (src/BellGame.sol:156). Reveals happen after the price is settled, and each wallet picks which of its commits to reveal. The cheapest paid ticket is a cancelled minimum order, costing 0.0025 IMD. Committing 41 guesses cost exactly 0.1025 IMD; the wallet then revealed the one at distance 0 and scored 3 points.

Low: the ringer settles the game too late for anyone to reveal (src/BellRinger.sol:186). Its only settle(d) call runs at the closing bell, at or after 16:00, when reveal is already shut. If no player settles by hand between 12:30 and 16:00, nobody can reveal that day. I traced this from the code and did not run a test for it.

Checked and holding (traced by hand, no tests written):

Fix 1: the refusal of a ring inside an unlocked PoolManager, and the residual tolerating only the pool's own price-limit refusal (anything else, out of gas included, reverts the bell).

Residual cap:

The 120-bucket limit is chosen and flagged correctly in both directions.

The fee waiver applies only when the cap stopped the residual.

The cap's limit always stays inside the valid price range.

The gas a ring needs stays under 16,777,216.

Residual pay and charge accounting: the hook stays solvent through the per-order rounding.

Fees and books:

The buyer's fee headroom covers the bell fee.

Ratios and fee splits round in the hook's favour.

Cancels release exactly what each order counted.

The marginal and inner-order fee waivers work.

The ticket rule for orders that fill whole works.

Fixes 2, 4, 9 and 10:

Each book keeps its reference for its whole entry window.

The void rule for a late opening bell works.

The ringer's zero-price path pays nothing.

Chores run once after a direct ring, and a second ring() reverts.

Exits, refunds and payouts: closed-market exits, refunds of a missed bell, and the burn, network, swarm and purse payouts.

Not covered or not proven:

The ringer reads the ETH/IMD pool's current price in the same transaction, so a caller can push that price up to reach the 3 IMD cap. That only pays when the pool is very shallow, and I did not reproduce it, so it is not in the file.

With no liquidity in range, a residual can move the pool price up to 120 buckets without filling anything. I didn't take this further.

I did not read the launch policy's admission checks beyond the hook's permissions.

No helper

mediumDistance-weighted deposit cap discounts the most marketable orders by 90%, so a book can hold 10x its cap of volume that is certain to crosssrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:340
Fix 3 weights an order's contribution to bookImdTotal by |bucket - ref| so that 'one far order that will not trade cannot fill the book'. The weight is symmetric in distance, so it also discounts orders on the aggressive side of the reference: a buy far ABOVE ref (willing to pay up to ~3.3x) or a sell far BELOW ref (willing to sell down to ~0.3x) is the order most certain to trade, yet it counts a tenth.

The cap (depositCap(): 1,000 IMD in week 0, doubling weekly to 100,000 IMD) therefore bounds marketable book volume only at 10x its stated figure, and the bell's matched volume and residual swap scale with it. The intent (discount orders that will not trade) needs a one-sided weight: full weight for buys at bucket >= ref and sells at bucket <= ref, distance discount only for buys below and sells above the reference.
Pool (coin, IMD) at tick 0 (ref 0), week 0 so depositCap() = 1,000e18.

One wallet calls placeOrder(2D, true, 12000, 5_000e18) (counted 500e18) and placeOrder(2D, false, -12000, 5_000e18) (5,000 coin valued 5,000 IMD at ref, counted 500e18). bookImdTotal = 1,000e18 <= cap, both accepted. ringOpen at 12:00: P* = -180, innerFill 0.994e18; claims pay out 4,999.99 coin to the buy and 4,877 IMD to the sell, i.e. ~5,000 IMD of matched volume plus residual on a book whose cap is 1,000 IMD.

Expected: orders on the marketable side count in full, so the second order reverts BookFull.

Actual: 10,000 IMD of crossing orders admitted (verified with a scratch forge test against the local PoolManager).
lowRound-trip guard keyed on tx.origin couples every user behind one relayer or ERC-4337 bundlersrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:1059
Fix 8 moved the round-trip key from the router to tx.origin. For smart-account users (ERC-4337 bundles, meta-transaction relayers, Safe transaction services) tx.origin is the bundler/relayer EOA shared by many unrelated users, so the first user's swap direction in a block blocks every other user of that bundler from swapping the other way in the same block (RoundTrip, surfaced by v4 as WrappedError).

This is the same coupling the fix says it removed, moved from routers to relayers; a bundler that batches a buy and a sell from two users has the sell fail. Keying on the router-reported sender where the router is trusted, falling back to tx.origin, or accepting the coupling explicitly in the docs, would address it.
Session open (ringOpen rung at 12:00 of day D).

In one block: vm.prank(u1, bundler) router.swap(key, zeroForOne=false (buy coin with IMD), amountSpecified=-1e18) succeeds; then vm.prank(u2, bundler) router.swap(key, zeroForOne=true (sell coin), -1e18) reverts WrappedError(hook, 0x575e24b4 beforeSwap, 0xfc534384 RoundTrip(), 0xa9e35b2f HookCallFailed).

Expected: u2, a different user who never swapped, may sell.

Actual: refused because u1 bought through the same signer (verified with a scratch forge test).
lowSealed guesses can be bought in bulk for 0.0025 IMD each and revealed selectively after the answer is known, so first place is purchasable every daysrc/BellGame.sol:156
reveal() runs only after settle() has fixed ds.scored, and the wallet chooses which of its committed orderIds to reveal. Fix 5 prices a ticket at whatever the order paid, and the cheapest paid ticket is a cancelled minimum order: placeOrder(s, true, ref, 0.5e18) then cancelOrder pays ceil(0.5e18 * 50 / 10_000) = 2.5e15 IMD (0.0025 IMD), and ticketPaid() returns true for any cancelled order.

A wallet that places and cancels N minimum orders and commits one guess per bucket covers N buckets for N x 0.0025 IMD plus gas, then reveals the commit equal to the settled bucket for distance 0 and 3 points. Three wallets doing this take all three places every day. The commitment hides the guess from other players but does not bind the wallet to one guess, so 'sealed' gives no protection against the wallet itself.

Binding one commit per wallet per day (or requiring every commit of a wallet to be revealed, scoring the worst), or pricing a ticket well above the cancel fee, would close it.
Day D-1 evening, ref = lastCleared = 0.

Wallet W loops k = -20..20: id_k = placeOrder(2D, true, 0, 0.5e18); cancelOrder(id_k) (fee 0.0025 IMD); game.commit(id_k, keccak256(abi.encode(uint256(int256(k*60) + 887_280), salt, W, D+1))).

Total cost 41 x 0.0025 = 0.1025 IMD.

Day D+1: the open rings, settle(D+1) at 12:30 records scored = s (any bucket within +-20 buckets of 0).

W calls reveal(id_{s/60}, s + 887_280, salt): accepted (ticketPaid true for a cancelled order), dist 0, rank 1, tally gives 3 points.

Expected: a sealed guess game in which a wallet cannot pick its guess after the answer is public.

Actual: the wallet picks among 41 sealed guesses after seeing the answer.

Verified with a scratch forge test: after the close of D-1 (ringClose rung), 41 place/cancel/commit cycles cost the wallet exactly 102,500,000,000,000,000 wei (0.1025 IMD); after ringOpen and settle(D+1) at 12:30 the wallet reveals the matching commit, distOf = 0, and tally(D+1, W) at 16:00 credits 3 points.
lowThe ringer's only game chore settles the day at the closing bell, after the reveal window has already shutsrc/BellRinger.sol:186
BellGame.reveal requires the day to be settled and block.timestamp % 1 days < CLOSE_BELL (16:00). The ringer runs settle(d) only as a closing-bell chore, i.e. at or after 16:00, when no reveal can happen any more; the opening chores do not settle (the window has not ended at 12:00).

So the one automated settle a day gets cannot open a reveal window: if no player calls settle(d) by hand between openedAt + 1800 and 16:00, nobody can reveal and the day scores nothing, while the close chore marks it settled and _final() then reports it final with empty ranks. The chore's gas (80,000 of the ringer's GasShort floor, paid from the bell purse as part of the reward) buys nothing for reveals.
Day d: ringOpen at 12:00; no one calls settle(d).

16:00: BellRinger.ring() rings the close and the settle chore succeeds (dayState(d).settled = true).

Any player then calls game.reveal(orderId, guess, salt) at 16:00:01: reverts RevealClosed.

Before 16:00 the same reveal reverted NotSettled.

Expected: the automated settle lands in [openedAt + 1800, 16:00) so committed guesses can be revealed.

Actual: every committed ticket for day d is unrevealable.
Audit judgeAgent #1470found 1 medium, 4 low, 3 info
The review is complete. The findings file holds eight substantiated findings and the working tree is otherwise clean (the findings file and my scratch tests are ignored by git).

What I did. I ran the full suite on forge 1.8.3 (184 pass, the project's own overhead test fails), re-read all five source contracts, ran the one specialist proof, and wrote eight reproductions of my own in test/scratch/Judge.t.sol. Every kept finding was reproduced against this commit, and the snippet at each path and line was checked against the tree.

Findings kept, by severity:

Medium, deposit cap griefing. One buy at the band's edge of ten times the cap sets the book exactly to the cap. Every other order then reverts BookFull, and a cancel at 10:49 costs the griefer exactly 50 IMD in launch week. Fix 3 made this tenfold dearer but not uneconomic.

Low, marketable-side discount. The same symmetric weight counts a buy at +12,000 and a sell at -12,000 a tenth each, so a 1,000 IMD book admitted and cleared about 4,900 IMD of matched volume.

Low, round-trip guard on tx.origin. Two accounts behind one bundler EOA in one block: the second direction reverts RoundTrip. Four specialists reported this and I merged them into one finding carrying the permissions specialist's proof, which fails here for the stated reason.

Low, reward priced at live spot. In a thin ETH/IMD pool the ringer parks the price, rings for the 3 IMD cap, and swaps back. The attacker nets +2.85 IMD against an honest reward of 0.37 IMD.

Low, bulk guess tickets. Forty-one placed-and-cancelled minimum orders cost 0.1025 IMD, buy one commit per bucket, and the wallet reveals the matching one after settle for three points.

Info, close-time settle chore. The ringer's settle runs at 16:00, when reveal is already closed, so a day nobody settles by hand is final with no ranks.

Info, bells ringable before initialisation. A fresh hook rang its opening bell with no pool, consuming the day's bell.

Info, OVERHEAD undercount. The project's own test fails on this toolchain by about 19,000 gas. The 1.5x factor still covers the ringer.

Dropped. The unclamped initial reference (two specialists) does not reproduce. At a reference of 880,020 a sell at the far bucket is refused BookFull because one wei of coin is worth far more than the cap, and a buy-only book rings normally, so no bell becomes unringable.

Coverage limits. I did not have a copy of the univ4_hook launch policy, so admission criteria were not checked beyond the repository's own Admission tests. My own pass beyond the specialists' leads was limited to the residual error handling, the bucket cap arithmetic, the reference derivation and the reward overflow bounds, none of which produced a new finding.

mediumDeposit cap is filled from the band's edge by one order of ten times the cap, closing the book to everyone for a 0.5 % feesrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:340
Fix 3 weights an order's count toward bookImdTotal by its distance from the reference, a tenth at the band's edge, and the cap is still one shared figure per book. One buy at ref - 12,000 of ten times depositCap() therefore sets bookImdTotal[s] exactly to the cap and every later placeOrder for that book reverts BookFull, buy or sell.

That order never trades (every crossing bucket and the zero-match reference sit above it), so the griefer's whole cost is the 0.5 % cancel fee before 10:50 (or the 0.5 % unfilled-order fee at claim) and the capital comes back the same day. In launch week (cap 1,000 IMD) that is 50 IMD and 10,000 IMD of capital per book; at CAP_MAX 5,000 IMD. Both the opening and closing books, and the guess tickets they fund, are closed to every other user while it lasts.

The earlier finding's fix made this ten times dearer than before but did not make it uneconomic. A sell at ref + 12,000 does the same (valued at the reference, then weighted a tenth). Fixing it needs a product decision on what the cap protects: a higher floor weight, a per-wallet share of a book, or charging the cancel and unfilled fees on the counted value rather than on the escrow.
Offline harness (test/Offline.t.sol DevEnv, pool at tick 0, day D in launch week so depositCap() == 1_000e18).

At D 01:00 a griefer with 10,000 IMD calls placeOrder(2D, true, lastCleared - 12_000, 10_000e18): succeeds and bookImdTotal(2D) == 1_000e18.

An honest wallet then calls placeOrder(2D, true, lastCleared, 1e18) and placeOrder(2D, false, lastCleared, 1e18): expected both accepted (the book holds 10,000 IMD of orders that cannot trade); actual both revert BookFull (0x9cce15fc).

At D 10:49 the griefer calls cancelOrder(id) and holds 9,950 IMD again: total cost 50e18 wei IMD.

Verified with test/scratch/Judge.t.sol::test_capGriefEdgeOrder on this commit (logs 'griefer cost (wei IMD) 50000000000000000000').
lowDistance weight also discounts the most marketable orders, so a book admits ten times its cap of crossing volumesrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:343
The weight at line 340 is symmetric in |bucket - ref|, so a buy far above the reference (willing to pay up to about 3.3x) and a sell far below it (willing to sell down to about 0.3x), the orders most certain to trade, count a tenth as well.

The cap's stated purpose (comment at lines 334-336: a far order that will not trade cannot fill the book) does not apply to them, and the figure depositCap() reports bounds marketable volume only at ten times itself: a launch-week book capped at 1,000 IMD clears about 4,900 IMD of matched volume plus a residual against the pool. Nobody loses funds directly; the launch-week limit on how much a book can move through the bell is ten times looser than the README states.

A one-sided weight (full for buys at or above the reference and sells at or below it, distance discount only on the passive side) would restore the intent without changing the figures.
Offline harness, pool at tick 0, launch week (cap 1,000e18).

One wallet places placeOrder(2D, true, 12_000, 5_000e18) (counted 500e18) and placeOrder(2D, false, -12_000, 5_000e18) (5,000 coin valued 5,000 IMD at the reference, counted 500e18); bookImdTotal(2D) == 1_000e18 and both are accepted. indicativePrice(2D) returns P* = -180 and matched = 5_000e18 coin. ringOpen at 12:00: bells(2*D).pStar == -180, innerFill == 994438940197761099.

Claims pay the buy 4,999.999999999999998942 coin and the sell 4,877.229760469412206021 IMD net.

Expected: the second order reverts BookFull because 10,000 IMD of crossing orders exceed a 1,000 IMD cap; actual: admitted and cleared.

lowRound-trip guard keyed on tx.origin couples every account whose transactions share one signer (ERC-4337 bundlers, relayers, batch solvers)src/MarketHoursHook.sol:1059
Fix 8 moved the one-direction-per-block identity from the router to tx.origin on the reasoning (comment at lines 1054-1057) that no router can spend somebody else's direction because it cannot sign for them. That holds only when every user signs their own transaction.

For ERC-4337 smart accounts, EIP-7702 delegations relayed by a sponsor, meta-transaction relayers and batch-settlement solvers, tx.origin is the bundler or relayer EOA shared by every account it serves, so the first account's direction in a block is charged to the bundler and every other account behind it is refused the opposite direction with RoundTrip() for that block.

A griefer needs only a 1-wei swap in the same bundle to make every opposite swap in it fail (the users still pay the bundler their prefunded gas). This is the same coupling the earlier finding described for routers, moved from users of one router to users of one bundler, which on mainnet is a handful of shared services. No funds are lost; the guard is documented as a speed bump, so this is a residual of the fix rather than a bypass.

Keying on the router-reported msgSender() where available, or on both the signer and the swap's sender so only a same-actor round trip is refused, would keep the speed bump for EOAs without binding unrelated accounts together. Reported by four specialists; merged here.
Offline harness: pool initialised with a position [-12000, 0), opening bell rung at D 12:00, next block.

Two accounts A and B hold coin and IMD and approved PoolSwapTest. vm.prank(A, bundler): router.swap(key, SwapParams(zeroForOne=true, amountSpecified=-1, MIN_SQRT_PRICE+1)) succeeds and sets lastSwap[bundler] = (block.number << 1) | 1.

Same block, vm.prank(B, bundler): router.swap(key, SwapParams(false, -1e18, MAX_SQRT_PRICE-1)).

Expected: B's first swap of the block is accepted.

Actual: it reverts and the revert data contains MarketHoursHook.RoundTrip.selector (0xfc534384, wrapped by the manager's hook-call error).

Control: with vm.prank(A, A) and vm.prank(B, B) both succeed.

The attached proof (the permissions specialist's test) fails on this commit with 'refused by the round-trip rule'.

lowRing reward is priced at the ETH/IMD pool's live spot, which the ringer can move in the same transaction to collect the 3 IMD capsrc/BellRinger.sol:267
_reward reads slot0 of the canonical ETH/IMD pool at the moment of the ring and converts the gas cost at that spot. Nothing ties the read to a time-weighted or earlier price, and the hook's PoolUnlocked refusal only stops a ring from inside an unlock: the ringer can run a swap in its own unlock, let the manager lock again, call ring(), then swap back, all in one transaction.

Selling IMD for ETH with a price limit parks the price in the empty range above the pool's liquidity at no further cost, since v4 moves the price to the limit through zero liquidity, and the read is only masked at sqrt prices of 2^128 or more, so the attacker stops short of that. Each ring then pays min(cap, 1.5 x gas x basefee x manipulated price) = the 3 IMD cap instead of the gas-fair reward.

The loss is bounded by the cap (3 IMD per bell, 6 IMD a day from the bell purse) and is only profitable when the ETH/IMD pool's liquidity near spot is thin enough that the round trip's fee and slippage cost less than cap minus fair reward, which the contracts do not control. Pricing the reward from a price the ringer did not author (for example the sqrt price stored at the end of the previous ring) or lowering the cap toward the typical fair reward would close it.
Offline harness: ETH/IMD pool (currency0 native, fee 10_000, spacing 200, no hook) initialised at sqrt 10<<96 (100 IMD per ETH) with one position [40000, 60000) of L = 1e18; bell purse topped up with 10 IMD; setRingRate 1 gwei; clock at D 12:00, fresh block.

Honest path: ring{gas: 13_000_000}() pays 372317550000000000 wei IMD (0.372 IMD).

Attacker path, same starting state, all in one call: (1) router.swap(ethKey, SwapParams(zeroForOne=false, amountSpecified=-100e18, sqrtPriceLimit=100<<96)) sells IMD and parks the price at 10,000 IMD per ETH; (2) ring{gas: 13_000_000}() is not refused and pays 3000000000000000000 wei IMD, the RING_REWARD_CAP; (3) router.swap{value: gotEth}(ethKey, SwapParams(true, -gotEth, 10<<96)) restores the price.

Net: ETH delta 0, IMD delta +2847697523760877436 wei (+2.85 IMD, 7.6x the honest reward) drawn from the purse.

Expected: the reward follows the gas spent at a price the caller cannot set inside its own transaction; actual: it follows whatever spot the caller sets before ring().

lowA cancelled minimum order is a paid guess ticket for 0.0025 IMD, so a wallet buys one sealed guess per bucket and reveals the right one after the answer is publicsrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:541
ticketPaid returns true for any cancelled order, and the cheapest cancelled order is a MIN_ORDER buy (0.5 IMD) cancelled before 10:50 for a fee of ceil(0.5e18 x 50 / 10,000) = 2.5e15 wei (0.0025 IMD), with the rest of the escrow returned.

BellGame.reveal runs only after settle has fixed the scored bucket, and the reveal rule lets a wallet pick which of its commits to reveal (the comment at BellGame.sol:145-146 says a wallet holding several tickets reveals its best, so the selective reveal is design).

Together they make the sealed guess meaningless: a wallet places and cancels N minimum orders in a loop, commits one guess per bucket around the reference, and after settle reveals the commit that equals the scored bucket for distance 0 and first place. Three wallets take all three places every day for a few tenths of an IMD each. The game pays points only, so no funds are at risk; the defect is that the ticket price does not bind the guess.

Binding one commit per wallet per day, requiring every commit of a wallet to be revealed and scoring the worst, or pricing a ticket well above the cancel fee on the smallest order would close it.
Offline harness, day D 01:00, reference 0.

Wallet W with 100 IMD loops k = -20..20: id = placeOrder(2D, true, 0, 0.5e18); cancelOrder(id); game.commit(id, keccak256(abi.encode(uint256(k60 + 887_280), salt, W, D+1))).

W's IMD balance falls by exactly 102500000000000000 wei (41 x 0.0025 IMD).

Day D+1: ringOpen at 12:00, settle(D+1) at 12:30 (scored = 0 here).

W calls reveal(id_for_bucket(scored), scored + 887_280, salt): accepted (ticketPaid true for a cancelled order), distOf(D+1, W) == 0.

At 16:00 tally(D+1, W) credits 3 points.

Expected: a sealed guess the wallet cannot choose after the answer is public; actual: the wallet picks among 41 sealed guesses after seeing it, for 0.1025 IMD.

infoThe ringer's only settle chore runs at the closing bell, after the reveal window has already shutsrc/BellRinger.sol:186
BellGame.reveal requires the day to be settled and block.timestamp % 1 days < 16:00. The ringer calls settle(d) only as a closing-bell chore, at or after 16:00, when no reveal can happen any more; the opening chores do not settle because the window has not ended at 12:00.

So the one automated settle a day gets never opens a reveal window: if no player calls settle(d) by hand between openedAt + 1800 and 16:00, nobody can reveal, the day scores nothing, and the close chore marks it settled so finalRanks reports it final with empty ranks. The chore's 80,000-gas stipend (part of the ringer's GasShort floor and of the reward paid from the purse) buys nothing for reveals.

Settle is permissionless, so a player who committed can call it; this is a liveness gap in the automation, not a loss.
Offline harness.

Day D 01:00: a player places placeOrder(2*D, true, 0, 1e18) and commits a guess for day D+1.

Day D+1 12:00: ringOpen(); nobody calls settle.

16:00, next block: BellRinger.ring{gas: 13_000_000}() rings the close and the settle chore succeeds: dayState(D+1) returns settled == true, isVoid == false.

The player's reveal(orderId, guess, salt) at 16:00 reverts RevealClosed (before 16:00 it reverted NotSettled), and finalRanks(D+1).isFinal == true with no ranks.

Expected: the automated settle lands inside [openedAt + 1800, 16:00); actual: every committed ticket for the day is unrevealable unless a user settled by hand.

infoBells can be rung before the pool is initialised; fix 7 guards placeOrder and cancelOrder but not _ringsrc/MarketHoursHook.sol:641
_ring checks the rung flag, the manager's lock and the gas floor, but not initialized. placeOrder and cancelOrder were given that check in fix 7; the bells were not. Anyone can therefore ring the opening (12:00-16:00) and closing (16:00-20:00) bells of a day on which the hook exists but the factory has not yet initialised the pool. The ring succeeds with an empty book: pStar 0, lastCleared unchanged at 0, the day's settle window opened, the checkpoint counters reset.

If the factory initialises the pool later that day, the opening bell for that day is already consumed, beforeSwap already passes AwaitingBell, and book 2d+1 becomes enterable against the initialisation reference without an opening clearing. No funds are at risk because no order can exist before initialisation; reported for the asymmetry with fix 7. A one-line if (!initialized) revert NotEnterable(); at the top of _ring mirrors _enterable.
Offline harness: deploy a fresh MarketHoursHook by CREATE2 at a flag address (test/Base.sol helpers) and do not initialise its pool (initialized() == false).

Warp to D 12:00 and call ringOpen() from any address.

Expected: refused, as placeOrder (NotEnterable) and cancelOrder (CancelLocked) are before initialisation.

Actual: succeeds; bells(2D) returns rung == true and pStar == 0; window() returns day == D and openedAt == D86400 + 43200; a second ringOpen() the same day reverts BellAlreadyRung.

infoOVERHEAD undercounts the ring transaction's gas by about 19,000 on the current Foundry; the project's own test fails, the 1.5x factor still covers itsrc/BellRinger.sol:69
The reward counts gasStart - gasleft() plus a fixed OVERHEAD of 60,000 for the gas the in-call count cannot see (the 21,000 base, calldata, dispatch, price read, payment and event).

The repository's own test test_R_rewardRecomputedAndOverheadCovers asserts that this count covers the whole transaction and it fails on forge 1.8.3 (the README says 1.5.1 was used): for the cold opening ring the counted gas is 2,485,852 against a measured transaction cost of 2,505,138, so OVERHEAD would need to be about 79,000.

Because the reward multiplies the count by 1.5 the ringer is still paid more than the ring costs and no fund is lost, but the stated guarantee that OVERHEAD alone covers the uncounted gas does not hold under the current toolchain's metering. Raise OVERHEAD to the measured figure (about 80,000) or re-derive it on the toolchain used for deployment.
forge test --match-test test_R_rewardRecomputedAndOverheadCovers on this commit with forge 1.8.3 (solc 0.8.26, via-IR, cancun): FAIL 'the reward covers the whole transaction's gas: 2485852 < 2505138'.

Expected: counted + 1 >= txCost for both bells.

Actual: 19,286 short on the opening bell.

The other 184 tests pass.
