Audit the vault: src/CDPVault.sol, src/ParameterizedVault.sol and src/ImdUSD.sol, in full, at the pinned commit, for a mainnet launch. Read whatever else in src/ these depend on, but report on this scope. Twelve audit rounds and their fixes are in (docs/AUDIT-*.md; the chain is web/content/docs/reference/audit-history.md; the newest are docs/AUDIT-FINAL-SWEEP-PANEL-2026-10-08.md and docs/AUDIT-DELTA-PANEL-2026-10-08.md, whose Resolution sections say how each finding was answered). This is the final full audit of this system before mainnet: read it in full, as it will deploy, not only the newest diff. A finding of an earlier round counts only if its fix regressed or left a gap. Items accepted with their reasons stated where they live are findings only if the reason is wrong or the stated bound does not hold: the repay-then-redeem premium and the new-loan dilution of the reserve's share (CDPVault._backingPerUnit); new capital counting by its warmed fraction (BACKING_HALF_LIFE); a price fall's re-pricing counted as cold; a debt-side orphan in the totals (_cool); a redraw after a redemption releasing a repayment's fee share early (_lag). Rank severity by what a finding lets someone take or block, with the constants as committed.
imdUSD is a dollar-denominated CDP stablecoin borrowed against sIMD (IdentityMD's staked IMD, an ERC-4626 share with 24 decimals, about 7.95 IMD each). Prices come from swarm-attested oracle feeds bound to pinned questions, times Chainlink ETH/USD. Everything about the deployment is in src/DeploymentConfig.sol and docs/MAINNET-RUNBOOK.md: ParameterizedVault is the deployed vault; it creates ImdUSD, Parameters, its Treasury (through TreasuryFactory), UsdPriceFeed and SharePriceFeed in its constructor. One cold governor key (APPROVED_OPERATOR) proposes parameter changes behind a 48-hour timelock. Collateral pricing is per 1e18 raw units throughout. IMD's only market is a full-range Uniswap v4 pool, about $2.3M a side with a 1% fee; docs/PARAMETERS-2026-10-05.md has the numbers every economic parameter was chosen from.
Answer each numbered question, including the ones where nothing is wrong:
- THE BACKING FIGURE AND THE LAG, adversarially and in full. backingPerUnit = min(live, lagged), capped at par; lagged = (reserve x warm / supply + warm secured) / warm, warm = supply - fresh, supply = live + REPAID_THIS_TX_SLOT; cold capital kept per position (coldDebt, coldSecured, coldAt), cooling at BACKING_HALF_LIFE with a BACKING_WARMUP cutoff for positions, totals and banks alike; banks crediting a position's own warmth back; draw making a band position's new debt's share of its term cold (delta panel #1). Search every sequence of lock, lockIMD, free, draw, wipe, cash, cover, bite, earn and a Treasury donation, by one account or several, within one transaction or across many, for one that makes a redemption paid more than the honest backing of the book it found, or honest redeemers paid less than the accepted cases state. Treat the accepted cases' bounds as claims to verify numerically.
- THE FEE BASE: _feeBase (live supply + cooled feeExcess - cold principal - work minted this transaction, floored at 100,000 imdUSD), feeExcess per position (added on repayments, released on bank credit), the fresh-debt record (FRESH_DEBT_WINDOW, 1e18-scaled dates), _redemptionRate with prior read once in cash, and the stored base rate's decay. Cheapest way to pin the cap or to dilute it; whether any repayment, redemption or draw ordering moves the base off the honest warm supply.
- REDEMPTION PAYOUTS: cash's routes (reserve, candidate, mixed), candidate eligibility (mat + gap), RedemptionWorsensRatio, ExcessRepayment, minGemOut, the reserve valued at the vault's price, and the transient tallies (MINTED, SECURED, REPAID, WORK_MINTED this transaction). Can a redeemer pay less than the fee for its size, worsen a candidate, or take reserve beyond its share?
- LIQUIDATION AND BAD DEBT: bark, barkFor, bite (always marked: grace from lull, then a tail-long window), heel, the chip/cut split at CHOP_PERCENT 20, the dust seizure, cover (a re-lock below recorded bad debt taken at its value, CoverBelowCollateralValue, _coverDust, the Treasury's imdUSD) and totalBadDebt against the per-position record. Can anyone take more than the formula, freeze a position unliquidatable, hold cover off cheaply, or desynchronise the bad-debt record?
- POSITIONS AND PRICING: lock, lockIMD (shares credited by balance delta), free, draw, wipe; the stability fee (duty, chi, drip, checkpoints); price gating (_requireFreshFeeds, _requirePriceAgreement, the ungated lock, wipe and debt-free free, and the unreadable-price path in _resecureBounded). Below mat, double counting, reentrancy through the share vault, acting on a stale or divergent price.
- WORK ISSUANCE with WAGE_WAD 0 at launch (earn refused, WorkMintingOff), and once governance turns it on: earnLine, earnMat, backedDebt and its transient slot, the lag as it applies to the ceiling. Unbacked minting by any route?
- ARITHMETIC AND SIZE: overflow at extreme collateral, price or elapsed time (_pow, 128-bit saturation of cold figures and banks), rounding direction in every division that pays someone, units where a price, a 24-decimal amount and basis points meet; ParameterizedVault initcode 46,795 of 49,152 bytes.
- Every comment or NatSpec in these files that claims a property the code does not have.
Not findings: addresses in DeploymentConfig that are placeholders until deployment (INTAKE, ORACLE_ASKER, TREASURY_FACTORY, WORK_ORACLE_FACTORY); the mocks (MockIMD, MockWorkOracle, LaunchToken); script/checks/ (a separate, partly stale tree); web/ and points/; anything docs/COMPUTE-BACKING-DESIGN.md describes as future work; and findings of the earlier audits in docs/AUDIT-*.md and docs/INTERNAL-AUDIT-2026-10-04.md, unless the fix regressed. A constant set to a deliberate economic value is not a finding; an arithmetic or ordering error in how it is used is.
For every finding: severity; file and function; the call sequence from an external caller; a concrete failing input or state with expected against actual; whether it is reachable with the constants as committed; and the smallest fix. Also report every place a comment or NatSpec claims a property the code does not have, and say which contracts you read in full and which you could not reach.

1.highCDPVault.draw/_reduceDebt: the band-draw cooling (delta panel #1 fix) cools a redraw of the position's own WARM principal and is never reversed when the principal is repaid, so a band borrower's wipe/src/CDPVault.sol:507
if (position.secured == termBefore && termBefore > position.coldSecured) { _lag(position, true, termBefore, termBefore + Math.min( Math.mulDiv(termBefore, amount, position.debt), termBefore - position.coldSecured)); }Q1 (the lag) and Q8.
drawfirst runs_lag(position, false, debt, debt + amount)(line 498), whose increase path credits the new principal WARM frombankDebtwhen the position repaid it within the last day.The band branch at lines 507-510 then cools
term x amount / debtof the secured term for the WHOLEamount, never for the cold part only, through_lag(position, true, term, term + X); that call is credited only frombankSecured, which a band position's repayment never fills (its term is its collateral, and min(collateral, 2 x principal / price) does not move for a repayment that leaves the ratio under 200%, so_resecureBounded->_lagreturns atafter_ == before).And
_reduceDebt(1423-1441) has no inverse: the debt_lagretirescoldDebtfirst, but the secured term does not move, so the cold secured share added by the draw stays until it decays (6-hour half-life).Each wipe(a)/draw(a) pair therefore adds min(term x a / debt, term - coldSecured) to
position.coldSecuredand_coldSecuredwhilecoldDebtreturns to zero; a handful of pairs in one transaction make the position's entire collateral term cold with its debt warm._backingPerUnit(799-812) then computes lagged = (reserve x warm / supply + warm secured value) / warm with the churner's collateral out of the numerator and its debt still in the denominator, andcash(732) pays min(live, lagged) x (1 - fee) on every route, reserve- or candidate-funded.WHO AND WHAT: any band borrower (170-200%, which is every position drawn near mat), or an attacker who opens one for the purpose;
wipehas no feed or health check anddrawneeds only fresh, agreeing feeds and health; no price exposure, gas only, re-armable every block, lasting hours.Honest redeemers are underpaid (the peg's defence yields a fraction of par on demand); a churner that is also the candidate has its debt cancelled at par while releasing collateral at the reduced figure, keeping the difference; anyone short imdUSD, or wanting to buy back its own debt cheaply, benefits from the redemption floor being switched off. Honest band borrowers' ordinary repay-and-redraw does the same to a lesser degree.
NUMBERS (test/scratch/WarmRedrawColdTerm.t.sol, the attached proof; ParameterizedVault over MockIMD at $1, NHI 0.85 so mat 170, no reserve): CHURNER lock(180,000) draw(100,000) (180%, term = whole collateral); HONEST lock(100,000) draw(50,000), hands REDEEMER 10,000 imdUSD; +2 days: backingPerUnit() == 1e18, laggedNow() == (150,000e18, 280,000e18). CHURNER runs wipe(10,000)/draw(10,000) ten times in one transaction.
EXPECTED: an unchanged book, backingPerUnit() still 1e18, laggedNow() still (150,000, 280,000), REDEEMER's cash(10,000, 0, CHURNER) paid 9,616e18 raw IMD.
ACTUAL: laggedNow() == (150,000.009e18, 100,113e18), the churner's 180,000 term cold and its 100,000 debt warm; backingPerUnit() == 667420416224269858; the redemption is paid 6,417.9e18 raw IMD (3,198 IMD under), and the churner's debt falls by the full 10,000 while it releases 6,418 of collateral.
Two more reproductions: test/scratch/PhantomCold.t.sol (a churner holding 90% of the book's collateral, twenty draw(5,000)/wipe(5,000) pairs in one transaction: 1.0 -> 0.2607, a 1,000 imdUSD redemption paid 258 raw IMD) and test/scratch/BandRedrawCooling.t.sol (a below-par book at 0.8617, a band borrower holding a quarter of the collateral, nine pairs: 0.5751). Reachable with the constants as committed (mat 170 at NHI >= 0.85, LINE 1M, wage 0).
Not one of the three accepted underpayments at lines 781-784 (a price fall's re-pricing, the stale orphan, the new-loan dilution): those are natural and bounded; this is attacker-chosen and bounded only by the churner's share of the book's secured collateral (at LINE 1M a borrower with 40% of the secured collateral cuts every payout by about 40%).
The NatSpec at 506 ('The new debt's share of the term goes cold with it'), 775-776, 781-782 ('three accepted cases, all the safe direction'),
forge test --match-path test/scratch/WarmRedrawColdTerm.t.sol (fails on 9bd5f59 with 'a warm wipe/redraw round trip lowered the backing of an unchanged book: 667420416224269858 < 1000000000000000000').

CHURNER: ten times wipe(10_000e18); draw(10_000e18) in one transaction.
EXPECTED: backingPerUnit() == 1e18, laggedNow().secured == 280_000e18, REDEEMER cash(10_000e18, 0, CHURNER) paid 9_616e18 raw IMD.

Two gaps in the branch at lines 507-510.
(i) The guard
position.secured == termBeforeis defeated by any movement of the term in the draw's own_resecure, and_lag's increase path (1020-1023) then restores the term WARM frombankSecured(credit = min(after_ - before, bank)), which any earlier repayment, free, redemption or bite against the position filled.(ii) The cooling itself goes through
_lag(position, true, term, term + X), whose increase path credits that same bank first, so a position holding a secured bank has nothing cooled.In every variant the state is cold debt with no cold secured term:
_backingPerUnit's lagged figure drops the new imdUSD from the warm supply but keeps all the collateral now standing behind it, reading above the honest live figure; a newcomer's lock + draw in one transaction (its capital cold, so the lagged figure is untouched) lifts the live figure, and acashin the next transaction is paid min(live, lagged) = the overstated lagged figure from the reserve or from an eligible candidate (see the candidate finding); the newcomer unwinds.VARIANTS, all reproduced on 9bd5f59 with the panel's own fixture (ParameterizedVault over MockIMD at $1, NHI 0.85, Treasury 10,000 IMD; BORROWER lock(200,000) draw(100,000), +2 days): (a) test/scratch/BandFixBypass.t.sol::test_oneWeiWipeSkipsBandCooling: wipe(stabilityFee + 1), one wei of principal, moves the term by 2 wei and banks them; next block draw(17,000) restores the term from the bank and the branch is skipped: laggedNow() == (100,006e18, 200,000e18) where the stated property gives 170,940e18; after IMD halves the honest live figure is 0.897435897435897435; NEWCOMER lock(400,000)+draw(100,000) in one transaction; next block backingPerUnit() == 1e18 and NEWCOMER cash(5,000, 0, address(0)) is paid 9,700e18 raw IMD from the reserve against at most 8,705e18 (the committed fix without the wipe gives 0.878 and 8,518).
(b) ::test_wipeAllThenRedrawMoreSkipsBandCooling: wipe(100,000) then draw(117,000) in one transaction: the term goes 200,000 -> 48 -> 200,000, credited whole from the bank; lagged secured 200,000e18 against the property's 170,951e18; 1.0 against 0.8972; 9,700 against 8,703.
(c) test/scratch/CrossingDraw.t.sol::test_drawCrossingIntoBandSkipsCooling (the economics specialist's proof): collateral 200,001 against 100,000, so the term moves by one IMD on the draw into the band: 1.0 against 0.8974, 9,700 against 8,705. (d) ::test_secondBankAbsorbsBandCooling: free(20,000) at 200% banks 20,000 of warm term; draw(5,800)'s cooling share 9,868 is credited from that bank and nothing goes cold: 0.9247 against 0.8979, 8,969 against 8,710 raw IMD.
(e) test/scratch/FreeConsumesPhantom.t.sol: after a cooled band draw of 8,000 (14,815 of the term cooled) a free(14,814) retires the band share first (
_lag1013-1018 takes the position's own cold before banking), so laggedNow().secured == securedCollateral == 185,186e18 while 8,000 of debt is cold; the stated property gives at most 171,480e18. Reachable with the constants as committed (mat 170 at NHI >= 0.85, LINE 1M, wage 0).Preconditions and bound as the panel stated: a below-par book, a reserve or an eligible candidate, gain at most fresh_band / warm of the gap to par; cost one wei of repayment, the redemption fee and a newcomer's collateral comparable to the warm book for one block; the same actor can run both halves with two addresses.
The NatSpec at 775-776 ('new debt, the imdUSD minted against it and the collateral behind it are excluded together, a band position's draw included') claims the property the code lacks, and 981 ('a bank only ever returns warmth to the position that lost it') is broken by the band call spending the secured bank on an increase that never happened (variant d: a later re-lock of the freed 20,000 is credited only 10,132 warm).

Q1 (an accepted case whose stated bound is checked numerically) and Q3.
The acceptance of delta panel #3 (CDPVault 325-330, docs/AUDIT-DELTA-PANEL-2026-10-08.md Resolution #3, docs/MAINNET-RUNBOOK.md section 7) rests on 'gains at most the gap to par on the Treasury's reserve, since a position-funded payout stays pro rata'.
cashcomputespayoutScale = _backingPerUnit(price) x (1 - fee)once (732) and the candidate route paysgemOut - reserveOutfrom the candidate at that scale; the only guard on that route is this line,gemOut > collateral x amount / debt, which keeps the payout within the CANDIDATE's own collateral per unit of its debt (its ratio cannot worsen) and says nothing about the book's backing.So every candidate below mat + gap (220 at launch) whose ratio is at or above the lifted figure x (1 - fee) pays the lifted figure in full, and with an EMPTY reserve the whole overpayment comes from the candidate's collateral: the gap to par is taken from the book, bounded by the debt of every eligible candidate (at launch most of the book), not by the Treasury's sIMD.
REPRODUCTION (test/scratch/CandidateLift.t.sol; ParameterizedVault over MockIMD at $1, NHI 0.85, Treasury holds NOTHING): UNDERWATER lock(170,000) draw(100,000); CANDIDATE lock(30,000) draw(10,000); +2 days; IMD to $0.50 (UNDERWATER 85%, CANDIDATE 150%, eligible): backingPerUnit() == 863636363636363636, the honest figure ((85,000 + 10,000) / 110,000, live = lagged).

EXPECTED per the stated bound: nothing beyond the reserve can be taken, so with no reserve the candidate pays at most the honest 0.8636 x (1 - fee): 8,419.6e18 raw IMD.
ACTUAL: 9,703.6e18 raw IMD paid, all from the candidate's collateral (its collateral falls by exactly the payout, the Treasury's balance is unchanged), 1,284 IMD ($642, 15%) above the honest payout; the newcomer then repays and is unwound. The attacker redeems the imdUSD it drew, so no market purchase is needed for the redemption; its cost is the lift's collateral for fifteen minutes and the 0.5% fee.
Reachable with the constants as committed while the book is thin (the lift needs collateral about twice k times the warm book, which binds on a mature book but not at launch). The lift itself is accepted and is not the finding; the finding is that the reason given is wrong (the candidate's ratio staying constant is not a pro-rata payout of the book's backing) and the bound and its mitigation are therefore wrong: keeping the Treasury's sIMD small bounds nothing on this route.
SMALLEST FIX is a decision for the requester, as the panel said: either restate the bound at CDPVault 327-329, in the delta panel Resolution #3 and in docs/MAINNET-RUNBOOK.md section 7 as the gap to par on the reserve PLUS the debt of every eligible candidate, dropping 'a position-funded payout stays pro rata'; or close it in code, for instance by counting a fresh position's lagged contribution at min(its secured value, its warm principal) rather than its whole term (the panel declined a slower collateral warm-up because it underpays honest loans; this narrower cap only bounds a fresh position's contribution at par).

4.lowCDPVault.securedCollateral: a position's term fixed at a crash low is counted at the recovered price in both the live and the lagged figure, and the 'aggregate cap' the NatSpec says bounds the over-cosrc/CDPVault.sol:285
/// tightens the guard until the position is touched, and after a rise for more, which the /// aggregate cap bounds. A deposit, repayment or any other change re-prices the position's term.Q1, Q5 and Q8. Each term in
securedCollateralis min(collateral, 2 x principal / price) at the price of the position's LAST touch (_secured, 940-946), and_securedCollateralValue(836-851) values the sum at the CURRENT price, capped at mat x prior principal. The NatSpec admits the surplus above 200% is approximated and says a rise counts 'for more, which the aggregate cap bounds'.That cap is 170% of the warm debt, above par by construction, so it never binds while the book is below par, which is exactly when the payout is scaled by the figure; the over-count flows straight into both the live and the lagged figure (both use the same stale
held), and nothing but the owner's own transaction re-prices the term (bark,heelandbitedo not touch a healthy position's term;cashcannot name one above mat + gap).A position re-collateralised at a low to above 200% (the prudent action) fixes its term at 2P / p_low; at a recovered price f x p_low it is worth 2fP against an honest 2P. The same holds for any band position (term = collateral) untouched through a rise: counted collateral x new price, above 2P.

The findings file is complete with four entries, all snippets verified against the tree, and the three scratch proofs fail on the pinned commit as stated. Final recap follows.
Result: 1 high, 1 medium, 1 low, 1 info, written to

The two code findings are both gaps in the delta panel's band-branch fix indraw, each with a Foundry proof undertest/scratch/that fails on 9bd5f59 and passes under the fix I describe (verified in a scratch copy, where the full suite is otherwise unchanged except one exact-equality expectation that must become a tolerance).- High,
drawline 507. A band borrower that wipes warm principal and redraws it gets the debt back warm from its bank, but the band branch still coolsterm × amount / debtof its secured term with no secured-bank credit. Looping wipe/redraw (ten rounds at 180%, one transaction) walks the whole term cold while the debt stays warm. Backing then reads 0.667 on an unchanged, fully backed book and every redemption is paid against it. A 10,000 imdUSD redemption is paid 6,418 raw IMD instead of 9,616, and the churner as candidate keeps the shortfall. Renewable every block for gas. - Medium,
drawline 500. The branch is skipped whenever the term moved, and_resecure's increase is credited from the secured bank. Wipe-all then redraw-more (or free then draw) brings the collateral back warm while the extra principal is cold. The delta panel's own proof sequence then reproduces unchanged: honest 0.897, paid 1.0 from the reserve. Unified fix for both: after_resecure, enforcecoldSecured ≥ term × coldDebt / debtdirectly, bypassing the bank. - Low,
_feeBaseline 1090. Work-minted supply is excluded only inside its own transaction. One block later it dilutes the fee base, which a draw cannot. Not reachable at launch (wage 0). - Info, line 506. The two NatSpec claims the findings refute, plus the full list of claims checked and holding, the decay constants, and sizes.
Answers where nothing is wrong. The fee base's warm-supply accounting (
feeExcess, cold principal, fresh-debt record, single pre-touch read ofprior, stored rate decay) holds for every repayment, redemption and draw ordering I traced. The three cash routes read one payout figure, rounding favors the position and the Treasury, the mixed route cannot worsen a candidate beyond its pro-rata share, and the reserve pays at most backing per unit. Liquidation seizes exactly the formula plus an unclaimable remainder, marks cannot be cleared while unhealthy, bad-debt records move together withtotalDebt, and cover's thresholds work in sIMD's 24-decimal unit. The accepted bounds (premium, warmed fraction, price-fall cold re-pricing, debt-side orphan, earlyfeeExcessrelease) all hold as stated.

Q1 (the lag) and the delta-panel #1 fix.
drawfirst runs_lag(position, false, debt, debt + amount), which credits the new principal WARM frombankDebtwhen the position repaid that principal within the last day. It then runs the band branch above whenever the secured term did not move, and that branch coolsterm x amount / debtof the term through_lag(position, true, ...).That second
_lagis credited only frombankSecured, which a repayment that left the term unchanged never filled. So the slice goes cold even when the debt it stands behind came back warm, and the two sides of the lagged figure disagree:_backingPerUnitcomputesfresh = totalDebt - lagDebt(unchanged, the debt is warm) butlagSecured = securedCollateral - _coldSecurednow excludes the slice.A band position at ratio r can repay up to
(1 - r/2) x debtwithout moving its term (the term ismin(collateral, 2 x debt / price)), and the slice is bounded only byterm - coldSecured, so repeating wipe(R)/draw(R) walkscoldSecuredup to the whole term: at 180% ten rounds of 10% each, in one transaction.With the committed constants, a borrower holding a large share of the book's secured collateral, in the 170-200% band, can at any time make the lagged figure read
(reserve + (everyone else's warm secured)) / supplyinstead of the honest figure, renewable every block, decaying only with the 6-hour half-life.Every
cashis then paid min(live, lagged) = that figure: honest redeemers lose the difference (in the proof, a third of par), and when the churner is the candidate it is the one who keeps the under-paid collateral (its debt is cancelled at par while it releases collateral at 0.667 of it).This is not the accepted 'redraw after a redemption releases a repayment's fee share early' item (that is
feeExcess, bounded by the position's share of the fee base) nor the accepted new-loan dilution (bounded by reserve/supply and gone in hours): nothing new was brought, and the figure can be driven to the rest of the book's collateral over supply.It also hits honest users: any band borrower that repays 10% and redraws it a day later takes 10% of its collateral out of the lagged figure for hours.
Severity high: anyone can block honest redemptions' fair payout and a candidate takes the shortfall, for gas, with the constants as committed (mat 170, gap 50, wage 0, LINE 1M).
Smallest fix: cool only the share of the term that stands behind the COLD part of the new debt. Make
_lagreturn the cold it added on an increase (after_ - before - credit) as it already returnscoldOuton a decrease, keep that value from the debt call indraw(uint256 coldIn = _lag(position, false, ...)), and useMath.mulDiv(termBefore, coldIn, position.debt)as the slice instead ofMath.mulDiv(termBefore, amount, position.debt).With that, a redraw credited warm from the bank cools nothing, and a genuinely new draw still cools its pro-rata share as the delta panel intended.

CHURNER then, in one transaction, repeats wipe(10_000e18); draw(10_000e18) ten times: each wipe leaves its term at 180,000 (2 x 90,000 / 1 >= 180,000) so nothing secured is banked; each draw is credited warm from bankDebt and then the band branch cools min(180,000 x 10,000 / 100,000, 180,000 - coldSecured) = 18,000 of the term.
EXPECTED: nothing about the book changed, so backingPerUnit() stays 1e18 and laggedNow() stays (150,000e18, 280,000e18); REDEEMER's cash(10_000e18, 0, CHURNER) pays 10,000 x (1 - 0.0384) = 9,616e18 raw IMD.
ACTUAL: laggedNow() == (150,000.009e18, 100,113e18) (the churner's 180,000 term is cold, its 100,000 debt warm), backingPerUnit() == 667420416224269858, and the redemption is paid 6,417.9e18 raw IMD, 3,198 IMD ($3,198) under the honest payout; the churner's debt falls by the full 10,000 while it gives up only 6,418 of collateral.
Test fails on 9bd5f59 with 'a warm wipe/redraw round trip lowered the backing of an unchanged book: 667420416224269858 < 1000000000000000000'; passes with the slice taken from the cold part of the new debt.

Q1, the delta panel's medium #1 (job fc96f209), whose fix covers only a draw whose term does not move (
position.secured == termBefore). When the term DOES move,_resecureruns_lag(position, true, before, current)and that increase is credited frombankSecuredfirst. A band borrower fills that bank by repaying:wipeshrinks the term to2 x debt / priceand banks the warm remainder of the collateral (bankSecured) and of the debt (bankDebt).Redrawing more than it repaid then credits the repaid principal warm, adds the extra principal cold, and restores the whole term from the secured bank, warm; the band branch is skipped because the term moved.
So the lagged figure once more drops the new imdUSD but keeps every unit of the collateral that now also stands behind it, by up to
fresh / warm(17.6% of the position's principal for a position at 200% redrawn to 170%), exactly the overstatement the panel reported, and the NatSpec at_backingPerUnit('new debt, the imdUSD minted against it and the collateral behind it are excluded together, a band position's draw included') claims a property the code does not have.The second half is the panel's: the live figure is honest, but a newcomer's one-transaction-old lock+draw raises the live figure above the overstated lagged one, and
cashin the next transaction is paid min(live, lagged) = the overstated figure from the reserve (or a candidate); the newcomer unwinds. A single actor can run both halves with two addresses.Preconditions and bound as the panel stated (a below-par book, a reserve or an eligible candidate, gain at most fresh_band / warm of the gap to par); the churner's cost is one repayment and redraw of its own warm principal, and the newcomer's a one-block lock. Reachable with the constants as committed (mat 170 at NHI >= 0.85, LINE 1M, wage 0).
A third variant of the same gap uses the secured bank alone:
freex (banks x of warm collateral), then draw while the term stays unchanged; the band branch's_lagis credited x from that bank and the new debt's slice stays warm.Smallest fix, replacing the band branch: after
_resecure, enforce the invariant the fix meant to install,coldSecured >= term x coldDebt / debt, bypassing the bank:uint256 want = Math.mulDiv(position.secured, position.coldDebt, position.debt); if (want > position.coldSecured) { uint256 extra = want - position.coldSecured; position.coldSecured = uint128(Math.min(want, type(uint128).max)); _coldSecured += extra; }(both cold figures and the total are already cooled to now by the debt_lagjust above).Checked on a copy: this proof, the warm-redraw proof and the panel's
test/delta-panel/BandDraw.t.solall pass, and the full suite is unchanged.Under that fix the full suite (602 tests) is unchanged except test/LaggedBacking.t.sol
test_anAtomicWipeAndRedrawLeavesTheLagWhereItWas, whose exact-equality expectation on the secured side needs a tolerance: the wipe there pays 0.365 of accrued fees first, that 0.365 of converted principal is already cold on the debt side in the committed code, and the fix cools its 0.73 share of the 2,000 term, as the principle it tests requires.forge test --match-path test/scratch/BandRedrawBankGap.t.sol.

The review is complete. The tree is unchanged (no tracked diff),
.imd-findings.jsonholds eleven entries, and the three proof files undertest/scratch/fail on the committed code as stated.Outcome: three mediums, all in the lag that prices redemptions, plus seven comment and coverage notes. Nothing critical or high.
The mediums all sit around the delta-panel fix in
drawand the accepted warm-fraction item:- Band-draw cooling is skipped or absorbed (
src/CDPVault.sol:507). The fix fires only when the term is exactly unchanged and cools through_lag, which credits the position's secured bank first. A position one raw unit above 200% that draws into the band, or a band position that freed collateral earlier, leaves the new debt's collateral share warm. A newcomer then lifts the live figure and a redemption is paid the overstated lagged figure. Proof: 1.0 against an honest 0.897, 9,700 paid against at most 8,705 raw IMD. Same impact as the panel's medium. - Band cooling has no inverse and cools own-warmth redraws (
src/CDPVault.sol:508). Repayments leave a band term unchanged, so the cold added by each draw never comes off, and a redraw of bank-credited warm debt is cooled anyway. Nine wipe/draw pairs in one block took a quarter-of-book position's whole collateral cold and cutbackingPerUnitfrom 0.862 to 0.575, for gas. Every redemption pays less, above or below par, re-armable indefinitely. - The candidate route pays the lifted figure (
src/CDPVault.sol:877).RedemptionWorsensRatioonly caps a payout at the candidate's own fraction. With an empty Treasury, a LINE-sized loan lifted a 0.70 book to 0.861 in ten minutes and a redemption against a 140% candidate took 8,731 raw IMD above the honest payout from that candidate. The accepted bound ("at most the gap to par on the Treasury's sIMD") and the runbook's sIMD mitigation do not hold.
The fix for the first two must be symmetric: cool only the cold part of the new debt, write it to cold directly rather than through the bank, and un-cool proportionally in
_reduceDebt. I checked a one-sided scratch fix and it broke an existing fee-pinning test by driving backing to zero through boundary churn, which is why the description insists on both halves. The initcode margin is 2,357 bytes.Comment claims that the code does not have are recorded at lines 775, 506, 329, 283 (redeemable positions reach 220%, not 200%), 1204 (self-mark-and-bite costs 2%, not 18%), 165 (
lineis governed in the deployed vault) and 981. The last entry records the Q1 to Q8 answers where nothing is wrong, the verified accepted-case bounds, what I read in full and what I did not reach, and the baseline: 602 tests passed, 4 skipped, no analyzers run. The Sepolia Chainlink constant is rewritten by the runbook's config pass and refused by the deploy script otherwise, so it is not a finding.ran onclaude · claude-fable-5-1 · 46 turns · 33m 27s · 642 in · 128.6K out · 5.7M cachedsubmission7e2916fe2a9940d7c8a8edfbe2a18772430671a85ec4eca1c5eae38c1d997876device74a99f640688d37b63f374b877ae00cab52ba26a36a09274c00338a6d8833f23started from9bd5f599678a10cbd3a47657300c7366c8c5605ebundlenonemediumCDPVault.draw: the band-draw cooling (delta panel #1) fires only when the term is exactly unchanged and cools through the bank, so a draw that crosses into the band, or by a position holding a securedsrc/CDPVault.sol:507
The fix for the delta-panel medium adds cold secured term only
if (position.secured == termBefore ...), and does it by calling_lag(position, true, termBefore, termBefore + X), whose increase path first credits the position'sbankSecured(credit = Math.min(after_ - before, bank)) and makes only the remainder cold. Two gaps follow.- A position whose collateral is one raw unit above twice its principal at the price (term = 2D/price, a hair below the collateral) draws into the band: the term moves by that hair, the equality fails, and the new debt's whole share of the term (term x amount / debt, about 29,000 of 200,001 IMD in the proof) stays warm while the new debt is cold. The ordinary
_lagincrease path records only the hair as cold. - A band position that freed collateral earlier (allowed while it stays at or above mat) banked that warm term; its next draw's cooling is credited from the bank and nothing goes cold. In both cases the lagged figure of
_backingPerUnitdrops the new imdUSD from the warm supply but keeps the collateral now standing behind it, exactly the overstatement the panel found: lagged reads above the live figure, a newcomer's lock+draw in one transaction lifts the live figure, andcashin the next transaction is paid min(live, lagged) = the overstated lagged figure, from the reserve or from any candidate whose ratio is at least backing x (1 - fee) (see the finding on RedemptionWorsensRatio). The attacker can be the band borrower itself: a warm position of its own,freeto set the collateral just above 2D/price (or to bank a warm term),drawinto the band, a second account's lock+draw to lift the live figure,cashnext block, unwind. Reachable with the constants as committed (mat 170 at NHI >= 0.85, LINE 1M, wage 0); needs a book below par (a price fall or underwater positions) and a reserve or an eligible candidate; gain bounded by the gap to par times the reserve plus the eligible candidates' debt. The NatSpec at 773-776 ('new debt, the imdUSD minted against it and the collateral behind it are excluded together, a band position's draw included') is the property the code lacks. Smallest fix: compute the cold share from the cold part of the new debt and the term increase already cooled, and write it to cold directly, never through the bank:coldNew= the cold added by the debt_lag(return it from the increase path);share = mulDiv(termAfter, coldNew, position.debt);extra = min(share - (termAfter - termBefore), termAfter - position.coldSecured)when positive;position.coldSecured += extra; _coldSecured += extra. Checked on a scratch copy: the attached proof passes (paid 8,518 and 8,491 raw IMD against at most 8,705 and 8,710). The symmetric un-cooling on repayment in the next finding is needed with it, or churn across the 200% boundary accumulates cold (a scratch copy with only this half made test/RedemptionFeePinning.t.sol::test_mintThenRepayRoundTripsCannotWashTheRecordYoung read backing 0). Fits the 2,357-byte initcode margin only if written tightly.

The cooling added in
drawuses the wholeamount, including the part_lag(position, false, ...)just credited WARM from the position's debt bank (a repayment it is redrawing), and_reduceDebthas no mirror: a repayment of a band position leaves the term unchanged (_lagsecured returns early at after_ == before), so the cold share added by the draw is never removed.Each wipe(a)/draw(a) pair of a band position therefore adds term x a / debt to its cold secured term (bounded only by what is not cold yet) while coldDebt returns to zero, and the position's own
_lagfigures do the rest: the lagged figure of_backingPerUnitis warm collateral over warm supply, so the position's collateral leaves the numerator while its debt stays in the denominator.With
backingPerUnit= min(live, lagged) this cuts the payout of every redemption, reserve- or candidate-funded, by the position's share of the book's secured value, above par as well as below (a book honestly at par pays below par), for hours (6-hour half-life) and re-armed for gas: wipe and draw are permissionless, draw only needs fresh agreeing feeds and health. It is also an honest side effect of any band borrower's ordinary draw/wipe activity.Not among the accepted underpayments (price-fall re-pricing, stale orphan, new-loan dilution): those are natural and bounded; this is attacker-chosen and bounded only by the attacker's own collateral share. In the proof a 430,000 IMD / 100,000 imdUSD position (a quarter of the book's collateral) takes backingPerUnit from 0.8617 to 0.5751 with nine pairs in one block; at LINE 1M a borrower holding 40% of the secured collateral cuts payouts by about 40%.
Reachable with the constants as committed; victims are redeemers (the peg's defence).
Smallest fix: cool only the cold part of the new debt (
coldNewfrom the debt_lag, zero when credited from the bank), and in_reduceDebtun-cool symmetrically: after_resecureBounded, if the term's decrease is less than termBefore x coldOut / principalBefore (coldOut being what the debt_lagretired cold), reduce position.coldSecured and _coldSecured by the difference, bounded by position.coldSecured.Checked on a scratch copy with the draw half alone: the proof passes (0.8617 -> 0.8610).

The accepted delta-panel low (CDPVault 325-330, docs/AUDIT-DELTA-PANEL-2026-10-08.md Resolution #3) bounds the gain of lifting the lagged figure with new capital to the Treasury's sIMD because 'a position-funded payout stays pro rata'.
The guard at this line forbids only a payout above the candidate's collateral x amount / debt, i.e. a payout that would WORSEN the candidate's ratio; it pays the full
payoutScale = backingPerUnit x (1 - fee)to every candidate whose ratio is at least backing x (1 - fee).So whenever the lagged figure is lifted above the honest backing (the accepted warm-fraction mechanism, the previous finding, or the band-draw gaps), a redemption against any eligible candidate (ratio below mat + gap = 220 and at least about backing x 95%) takes that candidate's collateral at the lifted figure, and no Treasury sIMD is involved: the operational mitigation in docs/MAINNET-RUNBOOK.md section 7 ('keep the Treasury's sIMD small while the book is thin') does not bound it.
The victim is the candidate, who loses (lifted - honest) x (1 - fee) / price of collateral per imdUSD cancelled; the bound is the gap to par times the debt of every eligible candidate, which at launch is the whole book under 220%. The attacker holds the imdUSD it just drew, so it needs no market purchase to redeem.
In the proof a newcomer's 880,000 loan (LINE) against 5,000,000 IMD lifts a book honestly backed at 0.70 to 0.861 in ten minutes with an EMPTY Treasury, and cash(20,000, 0, CANDIDATE) against a 140% candidate pays 46,731 raw IMD where the honest figure pays 38,000: the candidate loses 8,731 IMD ($3,056 at $0.35) above the honest payout, about 15% of its collateral.
Reachable with the constants as committed; the cost is the collateral for the lifting loan (about 2k times the warm book for ten minutes) and the 0.5% fee.
Smallest fix is a decision for the requester, as the panel said; options that keep the design: cap each cold unit's lagged contribution at par in

infoAnswers where nothing is wrong (Q1-Q8), accepted-case bounds verified, and coverage of this review at 9bd5f59src/CDPVault.sol:799
Q1 BACKING AND LAG.
Verified: supply = totalDebt + totalEarned - totalNonPrincipalRedeemed (wipe/bite/cover burn amount and remint feePaid); REPAID_THIS_TX_SLOT adds repaid supply in both the reserve share and the divisor, and a same-transaction repayment of cold principal only raises
warm(lowers the figure); a decrease takes cold first then banks, so cold/warm mixing within a position is neutral in both orders; a price rise shrinks an above-band term and banks the warm part, a price fall re-prices cold (accepted); the bank cannot be re-armed (a visit re-dates only what was credited, exponential decay, so it only avoids the day cutoff); a Treasury donation raises the reserve at once but cannot be withdrawn, so a donor only ever gets its pro-rata share back;supply <= freshskipping the lagged figure needs totalNonPrincipalRedeemed >= warm debt, which the attacker's own draw cannot create (it adds to both sides) and which leaves no reserve to take; the repay-then-redeem premium bound (supply - fresh)/(supply - fresh - repaid) holds for the lagged figure (the reserve term rises by less, supply/(supply - repaid)) and the payout never passes par; the new-loan dilution and the price-fall re-pricing are in the stated direction; the debt-side orphan is at most the day-old cold principal / 16 over supply and halving, and with the band fix in place a band draw no longer creates a debt-only orphan (the crossing case does, within the same bound).The band-draw fix itself is the gap (mediums 1 and 2) and the warm-fraction bound is wrong on the candidate side (medium 3). Q2 FEE BASE.
Verified: a warm repayment moves supply down and feeExcess up (base unchanged), a cold repayment moves supply and cold principal together, a redemption's burn counts at once, cold principal and work minted this transaction are excluded,
prioris read once before the candidate is touched so quote and stored rate agree, the stored rate decays at a 12-hour half-life; pinning from the 100,000 floor costs 9,000 of burn (about 250 of fee split, 450 in one), the floor is a max and inert above 100,000; the early feeExcess release on a redraw after a redemption is bounded by the position's own share; the fee-side orphan (a position's feeExcess reads zero after a day while the total still holds its decayed share, so a redraw releases nothing) overstates the base by at most P/16 and decays: negligible.With the wage on, work-minted supply from an EARLIER transaction counts warm at once (only WORK_MINTED_THIS_TX_SLOT is excluded), diluting the fee by the earner's rights: real work, wage 0 at launch, noted.
Q3 REDEMPTION PAYOUTS. gemOut floors, debtCancelled ceils so every wei a borrower releases is covered, RedemptionWorsensRatio compares exact fractions, ExcessRepayment bounds amount by the candidate's debt and the burn by supply, the reserve is valued at the vault's price and leaves first in full (its 'share' is pro rata by construction), minGemOut is honoured, splitting a burn pays less fee than one burn (documented); redemption against a candidate cancels its accrued fees first with no remint (design).
Q4 LIQUIDATION. bark/barkFor require unhealthy at fresh agreeing feeds, a live mark is preserved, grace = lull, actionable for tail (1 hour) then void; bite seizes floor(debt x 1.2e18 / price), dust below the one-wei seizure is taken whole, the remainder sweep applies only when debt survives, chip/cut split the bonus (Parameters enforces chip + cut <= 10,000), self-mark-and-bite costs 2% (see the comment item); a mark is cleared only by health (free/draw need it, lock/wipe through _clearIfRecovered, heel) or debt zero; cover sweeps dust (< one-wei seizure without feeds, < _coverDust with them) and takes a re-lock below the record at ceil(value), reverting if the Treasury cannot pay, otherwise the re-lock waits for bark/grace/bite; a drained borrower's healthy re-lock freezes Treasury imdUSD equal to the record (accepted, costs duty); totalBadDebt and _recordedBad

1. Medium —
CDPVault.draw:507: the delta-panel band fix is skipped whenever the term moved before the draw. The fix cools the new debt's share of a band position's term only whenposition.secured == termBefore. Awipeof one wei of principal (past the accrued fee) shrinks the term by 2 wei/price and banks it; the draw's_resecurerestores the term warm from the bank, the equality fails, and nothing of the collateral behind the new imdUSD goes cold. The same happens after any price rise followed by a touch. The panel's own proof withwipe(stabilityFee + 1)inserted fails on this commit with the panel's exact numbers (1.0 vs 0.897; 9,700 raw IMD paid vs 8,705). Proof attached (test/scratch/BandDrawBypass.t.sol). I verified a fix in a scratch copy (rule "cold secured ≥ the term's share of cold debt this draw added", written without the bank; +196 bytes initcode): the proof passes at 0.878/8,518 and every panel, LaggedBacking, Redemption*, Adversarial, LaunchAuditFixes, CDPVault, ProtocolSequences and BoundaryPaths suite passes except one exact-equality assertion that needs a fee-share tolerance (explained in the finding).2. Low —
CDPVault:328: the accepted BACKING_HALF_LIFE bound does not hold. "Gains at most the gap to par on the Treasury's reserve, since a position-funded payout stays pro rata" is wrong:RedemptionWorsensRatiobounds a payout by the candidate's ratio, not the book's backing, so every eligible candidate at or above par pays the lifted figure. With an empty reserve, a candidate at 150% paid 9,704 raw IMD vs honest 8,396 for 5,000 imdUSD. Proof attached. Low because the lift itself needs k× the warm book (hard with ~$720k of sIMD in existence), but the runbook's mitigation (keep Treasury sIMD small) does not cover this route.3. Low —
CDPVault:285: "after a rise for more, which the aggregate cap bounds" is vacuous below par. An untouched position re-collateralised above 200% at a crash low keeps a term priced at the low; after a recovery it is counted at 2fP instead of 2P in both figures, and the mat×principal cap never binds below par.backingPerUnit()reads 1.0 vs honest 0.964; a reserve redemption is overpaid 3.8%. Only the owner can re-price. Smallest fix: a permissionlesspoke(owner). Reproduction in text (no proof, since the fix is a new entry point).4.

Q1 / Q8. The fix for delta panel #1 (medium, job fc96f209) cools the new debt's share of a band position's term only when
position.secured == termBefore, i.e. only when_resecureleft the term exactly where it was.Any change of the same position's term before the draw defeats the equality, and
_lag's bank then restores the term WARM: (a) awipeof one wei of principal (one wei past the accrued stability fee, whichwiperetires first) shrinks a band position's term by 2 wei / price (_reduceDebt->_resecureBounded->_secured= min(collateral, 2 x principal / price)) and banks the sliver (_lag, decrease branch,bank += out - coldOut); the draw's_resecurethen takes the term back to the whole collateral,_lag's increase branch credits it from the bank (credit = min(after_ - before, bank), nothing cold), andposition.secured != termBefore, so the branch at line 507 is skipped; (b) the same after a price RISE: any touch (lock(1), wipe) re-prices the term down to 2P/price' and banks the difference; a later draw to 200% at price' restores the term from the bank, warm, with the whole new debt cold.Result in both: cold debt with no cold secured term, exactly the state the panel's medium described:
_backingPerUnit's lagged figure drops the new imdUSD from the warm supply but keeps all the collateral now also standing behind it.While the live figure binds nothing happens, but the live figure is what a newcomer's one-transaction-old capital raises (lock + draw at >= 200% in one transaction: its collateral and debt are cold, so the lagged figure is untouched), and a
cashin the next transaction is paid min(live, lagged) = the overstated lagged figure, capped at par, from the reserve (Treasury sIMD) or from any eligible candidate (see the second finding).The newcomer then wipes and frees: the D1 round trip.
Loser: every holder through the reserve, or the candidate.
Gain: (paid - honest) x the redemption, bounded by fresh_band / warm and by the gap to par; costs the redemption fee, gas, and a newcomer's collateral comparable to the warm book held one block.
Reachable with the constants as committed (mat 170 at NHI >= 0.85, LINE 1M, wage 0); the proof is the panel's own
test/delta-panel/BandDraw.t.solwithwipe(stabilityFee + 1)inserted before the band draw, and fails on this commit with the panel's exact numbers (1.0 against 0.897, 9,700 raw IMD paid against at most 8,705).The NatSpec at lines 774-776 ("new debt, the imdUSD minted against it and the collateral behind it are excluded together, a band position's draw included") claims the property the code lacks.
Smallest fix (verified in a scratch copy, +196 bytes of initcode, proof passes at 0.878 / 8,518): make the rule 'cold secured >= the term's share of the cold debt this draw added' and write it without the bank: have
_lag's increase branch return the bank credit (coldOut = credit;), then indraw:uint256 coldAdded = amount - _lag(position, false, position.debt, position.debt + amount); position.debt += amount; uint256 coldBefore = position.coldSecured; _resecure(position, _priceOrZero()); uint256 term = position.secured; uint256 added = position.coldSecured > coldBefore ? position.coldSecured - coldBefore : 0; uint256 want = Math.min(Math.mulDiv(term, coldAdded, position.debt), term - position.coldSecured); if (want > added) { position.coldSecured += uint128(want - added); _coldSecured += want - added; }(both figures were cooled to now by the debt_lagin the same call).A wipe-and-redraw round trip is unaffected (its debt is credited from the bank, so
coldAddedis 0), except that principal created by converting the accrued fee into principal (0.365 imdUSD intest_anAtomicWipeAndRedrawLeavesTheLagWhereItWas) is already cold on the debt side today and would cool its share of the term too, so that test's exact-equality assertion on the secured lag needs the fee's share as tolerance; all other suites in test/panel, LaggedBackingforge test --match-path test/scratch/BandDrawBypass.t.sol (proof below).

EXPECTED: at most 0.897e18 and 8,705.1e18 raw IMD (what the committed fix gives without the wipe: 0.878e18, 8,518e18).

Q1 (an accepted case whose stated bound is checked numerically) and Q3.
The acceptance of delta panel #3 rests on 'gains at most the gap to par on the Treasury's reserve, since a position-funded payout stays pro rata', and the runbook's mitigation (keep the Treasury's sIMD small while the book is thin) follows from it.
RedemptionWorsensRatio(line 877:gemOut > mulDiv(position.collateral, amount, debt)) bounds the payout by the CANDIDATE's own collateral per unit of its debt, i.e. payoutScale <= the candidate's ratio; it says nothing about the book's backing.Every candidate in the eligible band (ratio below mat + gap = 220) whose ratio is at or above par x (1 - fee) therefore pays the lifted figure in full:
cashcomputespayoutScale = _backingPerUnit(price) x (1 - fee)once (line 732) and the mixed/candidate route paysgemOut - reserveOutfrom the candidate at that same scale. With an EMPTY reserve the whole payout comes from the candidate.So when the accepted mechanism lifts min(live, lagged) to par (a loan k times the warm book, held for minutes), the attacker takes (par - honest) x (1 - fee) per imdUSD from any band candidate's collateral, up to that candidate's whole debt, for every eligible candidate; the gain is bounded by (1 - b - fee) x (reserve + the sum of eligible candidates' debt), not by the reserve, and keeping the Treasury's sIMD small does not bound it.
Severity stays low because the lift itself is the accepted, expensive part: with sIMD's whole supply about 1.72M IMD (about $720k) a loan several times a mature warm book is not sourceable, so this binds while the book is thin; but the reason given for accepting is wrong and the runbook's mitigation does not cover the candidate route.
Smallest fix: if the acceptance stands, restate the bound at lines 327-329 and in docs/MAINNET-RUNBOOK.md section 7 as the gap to par on the reserve PLUS every eligible candidate's debt, and drop 'a position-funded payout stays pro rata'. A code change that removes the exposure is the one the panel declined (a slower warm-up for a fresh position's collateral than for its debt), which is an economic decision for the requester.

Q1 / Q5 / Q8. Each position's term in
securedCollateralis min(collateral, 2 x principal / price) at the price of its LAST touch, and_securedCollateralValuevalues the sum at the CURRENT price, capped at mat x prior principal.A position that re-collateralises at a crash low to above 200% (the common, prudent action) fixes its term at 2P / p_low IMD; when the price recovers to p' = f x p_low that term is worth 2fP instead of the honest 2P, and nothing but the owner's own transaction re-prices it (
bark,heelandbitedo not touch a healthy position's term;cashcannot name a position above mat + gap).The NatSpec's bound, 'which the aggregate cap bounds', is mat x warm principal = 170% of the debt, which is above par by construction: it never binds while the book is below par, which is exactly when the payout is scaled.
So while another borrower is still underwater after the recovery,
backingPerUnit()reads par (both the live figure and the lagged one use the same staleheld) and a reserve-fundedcash, by anyone, is paid par x (1 - fee) where the honest figure is lower; a band candidate at or above par pays the same way. The over-count persists until the whale touches its own position, which it has no reason to do.This is the 'after a rise for more' approximation the comment documents, and the price-fall half of it (a re-pricing counted as cold) is an accepted item; the finding is that the stated bound is vacuous in the only regime where the figure matters, and that a whale who re-collateralised at the low can itself redeem from the reserve at the over-count in the recovery window.
Bounded by the stale surplus 2P(f - 1) of such positions over the supply and by the gap to par; needs a crash, a recovery and an untouched >200% re-collateralisation, so low.
Smallest fix (the size budget allows it): a permissionless re-price,
function poke(address owner) external nonReentrant { _requireFreshFeeds(); _requirePriceAgreement(); _resecure(_positions[owner], _price()); }, so the keeper (or any redeemer's counterparty) can correct a stale term before paying against it; the increase side of such a re-price is already the accepted cold direction.

- CDPVault 327-329, 'gains at most the gap to par on the Treasury's reserve, since a position-funded payout stays pro rata': RedemptionWorsensRatio keeps a payout within the candidate's collateral per unit of its debt, not within the book's backing; eligible candidates at or above par pay the lifted figure (finding 2).
- CDPVault 284-286, 'after a rise for more, which the aggregate cap bounds': the cap is mat x warm principal, above par, so it bounds nothing below par (finding 3).

Q1: a Treasury donation (sIMD or a listed asset) raises the reserve term at once in both figures, but a donor's own redemption recovers at most its donation less the fee (X x R/supply <= R), so it is not a lift; wipe/cash/draw in one transaction is closed by REPAID_THIS_TX_SLOT in both the reserve share and the divisor; a bite or cover in the same call only inflates the supply the figure divides by (safe); the accepted repay-then-redeem bound holds numerically (the reserve term's factor supply/(supply - R) is below the collateral term's warm/(warm - R)); the lag's secured and debt banks move together on wipe/cash/bite so a round trip is warm on both sides. Q2: the fee base is per-position and ordering-proof: a cold repayment retires cold (base unchanged), a warm repayment is held in feeExcess and released on the redraw's bank credit, a redemption's burn counts at once, work minted this transaction is excluded, and the floor only lowers fees under 100,000; the cheapest pin is 9,000 imdUSD against a 12-hour-seasoned own band position (b952037a, accepted), about 250 imdUSD of fee in small burns.

High,
CDPVault.drawline 507. The delta-panel fix cools a share of a band position's secured term on every draw, but nothing warms that share back when the cold principal is repaid. The term does not move on a band position's repayment, so_resecureBoundedreturns without touching the secured cold. Consequences:- A band borrower can run draw/wipe pairs in one transaction, for gas, until its entire collateral reads cold while its debt reads warm. In the proof, a fully backed book goes from a redemption figure of 1.00 to 0.26, and a 1,000 imdUSD redemption pays 258 IMD instead of 990. It re-arms every block and lasts hours. This removes the peg floor the cash channel exists to hold, so anyone short imdUSD or any borrower buying back its own debt profits.
- Honest borrowers who repay and redraw also get their collateral partly excluded, since the draw cools the share for the whole amount even when the debt bank credited it warm.
- The proof passes on a scratch copy carrying the proposed fix (warm back
min(coldSecured, term x coldOut / principalBefore)in_reduceDebtwhen the term does not move), and the delta panel's own proof still passes on that copy.
Low,
CDPVault._lagline 1015. The phantom cold is indistinguishable from real cold. A free, a redemption or a bite against the position retires it first instead of the collateral that left, and a secured bank credits it warm, so the delta-panel overstatement returns. Bounded by the band's slack, about 15% of the position's principal over the warm supply, the same envelope as the accepted premium.Info.

The delta panel #1 fix in
draw(lines 507-510) cools a share of a band position's secured term,min(term x amount / debt, term - coldSecured), whenever the term does not move with the draw. That cold is added toposition.coldSecuredand_coldSecuredwithout any change tosecuredCollateral, so it is phantom cold:laggedNow().securedfalls by it. The symmetric operation is missing. When the same principal is repaid (wipe,bite,cover,cashagainst the position),_reduceDebtretires the cold DEBT (_lag(position, false, ...)returnscoldOut) but, because a band position's term still does not move,_resecureBoundedcalls_lag(position, true, before, before)which returns at once, and the phantom secured cold stays. Nothing else ever warms it except time (six-hour half-life, a quiet day). Two consequences.- Attack, gas only, one transaction: a band borrower (170-200%, which is every position that drew near mat) runs draw D / wipe D in a loop; each draw adds
term x D / debtof phantom (the formula uses the WHOLE term, not the warm remainder) untilterm - coldSecuredis exhausted, i.e. until its entire collateral reads cold while its debt is warm._backingPerUnit's lagged figure is then (reserve x warm / supply + OTHER positions' warm secured) / warm supply, with the churner's collateral excluded against the whole warm supply, andcashpays min(live, lagged) x (1 - fee): every redemption is paid that fraction for hours, re-armable every block. With the churner holding 90% of the book the figure goes from 1.00 to 0.26 and a 1,000 imdUSD redemption pays 258 IMD instead of 995. The peg floor min(1 - fee, backing) that the cash channel is meant to hold collapses on demand: anyone short imdUSD, or any borrower wanting to buy back its own debt cheaply, profits; honest redeemers lose. - Honest flows underpay too: a band borrower that repays warm principal and redraws it the next day gets the redraw credited warm from its debt bank (
_lagincrease branch), yetdrawstill cools the term's share for the wholeamount, since it never sees the bank credit; its collateral reads partly cold although nothing about it is new. Not one of the three accepted underpayments (a price fall's re-pricing, a stale orphan of at most a sixteenth, a large new loan's dilution): this is unbounded within the position's term and lasts hours. Reachable with the constants as committed (LINE $1M, mat 170 at NHI >= 0.85, wage 0), no governance, no price move. The NatSpec at 775-776 ('new debt, the imdUSD minted against it and the collateral behind it are excluded together') describes an exclusion that outlives the debt it was for, and 781-782 ('The lag underpays honest redemptions for hours in three accepted cases') omits this one. Smallest fix (verified on a scratch copy; the attached proof passes with it and the committed suite is unaffected): make the phantom follow the cold principal. In_reduceDebt, after_lag(position, false, ...)returnscoldOutand after_resecureBounded, if the term did not move andposition.coldSecured != 0, warm backmin(position.coldSecured, term x coldOut / principalBefore)with_lag(position, true, term, term - back)(a decrease bounded by the position's own cold, so nothing is banked). Indraw, cool the share of the term for the COLD part of the new debt only (amountless what the debt bank credited), which needs_lagto return the credit for increases. A dedicatedphantomSecuredfield per position, added bydrawand retired pro rata by_reduceDebt, is the exact form if the bytes allow it.

The delta panel #1 fix makes a band position's draw cool
term x amount / debtof its secured term so that the lagged figure drops the collateral now standing behind the new, cold imdUSD. That cold is indistinguishable from real cold in_lag.(a) A decrease takes the position's own cold first (line 1015): a
freeof collateral worth the phantom (health permitting), or a redemption or bite that takes collateral from the position, lowerssecuredCollateraland_coldSecuredby the same amount, solaggedNow().secureddoes not move although real collateral left; the whole remaining live term reads warm against a warm supply that excludes the new debt, which is exactly the overstatement the delta panel measured (lagged > honest by the new debt's share of the term).(b) An increase is credited from the secured bank first (line 1020): a band position holding a secured bank (after a free, a redemption or a bite against it, or a price rise that shrank a debt-bound term, within a day) has the phantom credited warm from that bank instead of going cold, so the fix never fires for it.
In both forms a newcomer-style lift of the live figure (lock + draw held one transaction, by the same or another account) then has a reserve- or candidate-funded
cashpaid the overstated lagged figure, the D1 round trip the delta panel closed.Bounded by the band's slack: from 200% a position can draw about 8.5% of its principal and free about 15% of its collateral and land at mat, so the overstatement is at most about 0.15 x its principal over the warm supply, the same envelope as the accepted repay-then-redeem premium (and like it only below par, since the figure is capped at par). Low for that reason; it is a gap in a fix recorded as complete.
Smallest fix: keep the phantom separate from real cold (a
phantomSecuredfield per position, or derive it on every touch asterm x coldDebt / debtso that a free or a bank credit cannot consume it), which is also what the high finding on the same mechanism needs.forge test --match-path test/scratch/BandFixBypass.t.sol --match-test test_freeConsumesThePhantomCold (fails on this code).

CLAIMS WITHOUT THE PROPERTY, each checked against the code.
- CDPVault 775-776, 'new debt, the imdUSD minted against it and the collateral behind it are excluded together, a band position's draw included': the collateral's exclusion outlives the debt it was for (the high finding: repaying the cold principal never warms the term's share back, and the share is cooled for the whole draw even when the debt bank credited it warm), and a free, a redemption or a bite against the position, or a secured bank, consumes the exclusion while the debt stays excluded (the low finding).
- CDPVault 781-782, 'The lag underpays honest redemptions for hours in three accepted cases, all the safe direction': a fourth case is unbounded within a position's term and arms for gas (high).
- CDPVault 506, 'The new debt's share of the term goes cold with it': it does not warm with it.
- CDPVault 49-50,
coldDebt/coldSecuredare 'This position's capital that is not warm yet':coldSecuredalso holds the band-draw share, which is not capital added and is not retired with the capital it stands for; and 1121laggedNow'the live figures less what is still cold' reads that share as cold capital. - CDPVault 408, 'this vault's subclass is already at 36,416 of the 49,152 EIP-3860 permits': the initcode is 46,795 bytes (forge build --sizes; margin 2,357), the figure the task states; the number in the comment is from an earlier revision. ANSWERS WHERE NOTHING IS WRONG. Q1: the REPAID_THIS_TX_SLOT supply holds for same-call wipe/cash/draw (a warm repayment leaves warm and fresh unchanged; a cold one raises warm, the safe way); a Treasury donation counts at once in both figures but is paid back to the donor first through the reserve route and nets a loss (A x R / S x (1 - f) - R < 0); the reserve's share
reserve x warm / supplyis exact;supply > freshfails only when the warm supply is zero, when there is nothing to protect; the accepted premium's bound (supply - fresh) / (supply - fresh - repaid) with the repayment at most the principal above half the collateral's value holds for a wipe (checked: 15% at 170%, 50% at 100%, 60% at 80%); the new-loan dilution and the price-fall re-pricing are the safe direction as stated; the stale orphan is bounded by a sixteenth as stated. Q2: the fee base is per position (feeExcess) so another position's cold draw and repayment cannot erase a warm repayment; cold principal is out of it (a draw held one block does not dilute); a warm repayment stays in it; a redemption's burn counts at once;prioris read once incashfor both the charge and the stored rate; the cheapest pin at the 100,000 floor is a 9,000 imdUSD burn at divisor 2 (about 250 imdUSD of fee split, 450 in one), as documented; the cheapest dilution is the stale feeExcess orphan (a sixteenth of a day-old repayment, halving) which is far below a basis point; a work-minted imdUSD held across one block counts as warm base at once, which is correct since it has no position to unwind. Q3:payoutScaleis computed once and read by every route;debtCancelledrounds the reserve-funded part down so the candidate's released collateral is always covered by cancelled debt;ExcessRepaymentholds on both the supply and the candidate's debt;RedemptionWorsensRatiois exact (collateral x amount / debt, so a candidate below backing x (1 - fee) cannot fund a payout);minGemOutis checked after the fee; the reserve is valued at the vault's price in both figures and paid at it; a reserve-funded burn improves backing (B >= B x (1 - f)); the redeemer cannot pay less than the fee for its size since the fee is charged againstpriorread before the candidate is touched.

.imd-findings.jsonholds five findings, each reproduced against commit 9bd5f59, with proofs attached to the two most severe. No tracked file was changed; only the findings file andtest/scratch/were written, both ignored by git.What I kept, after merging the specialists' 22 items into one finding per mechanism
- High, CDPVault.draw and _reduceDebt (line 507). The delta-panel band-draw cooling uses the whole drawn amount, so a redraw credited warm from the position's debt bank still cools its share of the secured term, and nothing ever reverses it when the principal is repaid. Ten wipe/draw pairs by a 180% borrower in one transaction take an unchanged, fully backed book from par to 0.667, and a redeemer is paid 6,418 raw IMD where 9,616 is honest. Gas only, re-armable every block, lasts hours. Three specialists reported this (two high, one medium). Proof: the math specialist's test, which fails here as stated.
- Medium, CDPVault.draw (line 507). The same branch is skipped whenever the term moved and cools through the secured bank. A one-wei repayment, a repay-and-redraw-more, a draw crossing into the band, a banked free, or a free after the draw all leave collateral behind new cold debt warm, and the panel's own newcomer-lift round trip is open again (9,700 raw IMD paid from the reserve against at most 8,705). Four specialists reported variants; merged into one. Proof: my two-variant test.
- Medium, CDPVault._redeemPosition (line 877). The accepted warm-fraction lift's bound says gains stay on the Treasury's reserve because a position-funded payout is pro rata. It is not. RedemptionWorsensRatio only caps at the candidate's own fraction, so with an empty Treasury a lifted redemption takes 9,704 raw IMD from a candidate where 8,420 is honest. The reason stated for the acceptance is wrong and the runbook mitigation does not cover the route. The fix is the requester's decision, so no proof.
- Low, CDPVault.securedCollateral (line 285). A term fixed at a crash low is counted at the recovered price in both figures. The NatSpec's "aggregate cap" is mat times warm principal, above par, so it never binds below par. A reserve redemption is paid at par where the honest figure is 0.9636.
- Info (line 282). NatSpec claims the code does not have: redeemable positions run to 220% not 200%; the initcode comment says 36,416 bytes where the build reports 46,795;
lineis governed on the deployed vault; a self-marked self-bite costs 2% not 18%. The claims folded into the findings above are listed too, and the constants and identities I verified as holding.
Dropped. The math specialist's low on work-minted supply entering the fee base one block later. Work supply is permanent and has no position to unwind, the
_feeBaseNatSpec does not claim otherwise, and it is unreachable with the wage at zero.Answers where nothing is wrong. The REPAID_THIS_TX_SLOT closes same-call wipe, cash and draw. A Treasury donation only returns the donor its pro rata share less the fee. The repay-then-redeem premium bound holds numerically. The fee base is per position and ordering-proof, with the 9,000-burn pin as documented. Payout routes, ExcessRepayment, minGemOut and rounding directions hold. Liquidation marks, grace, the tail window, the chip/cut split, the dust rules, cover's re-lock-at-value and the bad-debt record are consistent. Feed gating, the ungated lock and wipe, and the unreadable-price term bound hold. With the wage on, backedDebt and earnLine are bounded as stated. Arithmetic saturates where claimed, and the two decay constants are exact floors.

Q1 (the lag) and Q8.
drawfirst runs_lag(position, false, debt, debt + amount)(line 498), whose increase path credits the new principal WARM frombankDebtwhen the position repaid it within the last day.The band branch at lines 507-510 then cools
term x amount / debtof the secured term for the WHOLEamount, never for the cold part only, through_lag(position, true, term, term + X); that call is credited only frombankSecured, which a band position's repayment never fills (its term is its collateral, and min(collateral, 2 x principal / price) does not move for a repayment that leaves the ratio under 200%, so_resecureBounded->_lagreturns atafter_ == before).And
_reduceDebt(1423-1441) has no inverse: the debt_lagretirescoldDebtfirst, but the secured term does not move, so the cold secured share added by the draw stays until it decays (6-hour half-life).Each wipe(a)/draw(a) pair therefore adds min(term x a / debt, term - coldSecured) to
position.coldSecuredand_coldSecuredwhilecoldDebtreturns to zero; a handful of pairs in one transaction make the position's entire collateral term cold with its debt warm._backingPerUnit(799-812) then computes lagged = (reserve x warm / supply + warm secured value) / warm with the churner's collateral out of the numerator and its debt still in the denominator, andcash(732) pays min(live, lagged) x (1 - fee) on every route, reserve- or candidate-funded.WHO AND WHAT: any band borrower (170-200%, which is every position drawn near mat), or an attacker who opens one for the purpose;
wipehas no feed or health check anddrawneeds only fresh, agreeing feeds and health; no price exposure, gas only, re-armable every block, lasting hours.Honest redeemers are underpaid (the peg's defence yields a fraction of par on demand); a churner that is also the candidate has its debt cancelled at par while releasing collateral at the reduced figure, keeping the difference; anyone short imdUSD, or wanting to buy back its own debt cheaply, benefits from the redemption floor being switched off. Honest band borrowers' ordinary repay-and-redraw does the same to a lesser degree.

Two more reproductions: test/scratch/PhantomCold.t.sol (a churner holding 90% of the book's collateral, twenty draw(5,000)/wipe(5,000) pairs in one transaction: 1.0 -> 0.2607, a 1,000 imdUSD redemption paid 258 raw IMD) and test/scratch/BandRedrawCooling.t.sol (a below-par book at 0.8617, a band borrower holding a quarter of the collateral, nine pairs: 0.5751).

Not one of the three accepted underpayments at lines 781-784 (a price fall's re-pricing, the stale orphan, the new-loan dilution): those are natural and bounded; this is attacker-chosen and bounded only by the churner's share of the book's secured collateral (at LINE 1M a borrower with 40% of the secured collateral cuts every payout by about 40%).

Q1 and Q8, the fix for delta panel #1 (job fc96f209, medium) recorded as complete in docs/AUDIT-DELTA-PANEL-2026-10-08.md Resolution #1. Two gaps in the branch at lines 507-510.
(i) The guard
position.secured == termBeforeis defeated by any movement of the term in the draw's own_resecure, and_lag's increase path (1020-1023) then restores the term WARM frombankSecured(credit = min(after_ - before, bank)), which any earlier repayment, free, redemption or bite against the position filled.(ii) The cooling itself goes through
_lag(position, true, term, term + X), whose increase path credits that same bank first, so a position holding a secured bank has nothing cooled.In every variant the state is cold debt with no cold secured term:
_backingPerUnit's lagged figure drops the new imdUSD from the warm supply but keeps all the collateral now standing behind it, reading above the honest live figure; a newcomer's lock + draw in one transaction (its capital cold, so the lagged figure is untouched) lifts the live figure, and acashin the next transaction is paid min(live, lagged) = the overstated lagged figure from the reserve or from an eligible candidate (see the candidate finding); the newcomer unwinds.VARIANTS, all reproduced on 9bd5f59 with the panel's own fixture (ParameterizedVault over MockIMD at $1, NHI 0.85, Treasury 10,000 IMD; BORROWER lock(200,000) draw(100,000), +2 days): (a) test/scratch/BandFixBypass.t.sol::test_oneWeiWipeSkipsBandCooling: wipe(stabilityFee + 1), one wei of principal, moves the term by 2 wei and banks them; next block draw(17,000) restores the term from the bank and the branch is skipped: laggedNow() == (100,006e18, 200,000e18) where the stated property gives 170,940e18; after IMD halves the honest live figure is 0.897435897435897435; NEWCOMER lock(400,000)+draw(100,000) in one transaction; next block backingPerUnit() == 1e18 and NEWCOMER cash(5,000, 0, address(0)) is paid 9,700e18 raw IMD from the reserve against at most 8,705e18 (the committed fix without the wipe gives 0.878 and 8,518).
(b) ::test_wipeAllThenRedrawMoreSkipsBandCooling: wipe(100,000) then draw(117,000) in one transaction: the term goes 200,000 -> 48 -> 200,000, credited whole from the bank; lagged secured 200,000e18 against the property's 170,951e18; 1.0 against 0.8972; 9,700 against 8,703.
(c) test/scratch/CrossingDraw.t.sol::test_drawCrossingIntoBandSkipsCooling (the economics specialist's proof): collateral 200,001 against 100,000, so the term moves by one IMD on the draw into the band: 1.0 against 0.8974, 9,700 against 8,705. (d) ::test_secondBankAbsorbsBandCooling: free(20,000) at 200% banks 20,000 of warm term; draw(5,800)'s cooling share 9,868 is credited from that bank and nothing goes cold: 0.9247 against 0.8979, 8,969 against 8,710 raw IMD.
(e) test/scratch/FreeConsumesPhantom.t.sol: after a cooled band draw of 8,000 (14,815 of the term cooled) a free(14,814) retires the band share first (
_lag1013-1018 takes the position's own cold before banking), so laggedNow().secured == securedCollateral == 185,186e18 while 8,000 of debt is cold; the stated property gives at most 171,480e18. Reachable with the constants as committed (mat 170 at NHI >= 0.85, LINE 1M, wage 0).Preconditions and bound as the panel stated: a below-par book, a reserve or an eligible candidate, gain at most fresh_band / warm of the gap to par; cost one wei of repayment, the redemption fee and a newcomer's collateral comparable to the warm book for one block; the same actor can run both halves with two addresses.
The NatSpec at 775-776 ('new debt, the imdUSD minted against it and the collateral behind it are excluded together, a band position's draw included') claims the property the code lacks, and 981 ('a bank only ever returns warmth to the position that lost it') is broken by the band call spending the secured bank on an increase that never happened (variant d: a later re-lock of the freed 20,000 is credited only 10,132 warm).

Q1 (an accepted case whose stated bound is checked numerically) and Q3.
The acceptance of delta panel #3 (CDPVault 325-330, docs/AUDIT-DELTA-PANEL-2026-10-08.md Resolution #3, docs/MAINNET-RUNBOOK.md section 7) rests on 'gains at most the gap to par on the Treasury's reserve, since a position-funded payout stays pro rata'.
cashcomputespayoutScale = _backingPerUnit(price) x (1 - fee)once (732) and the candidate route paysgemOut - reserveOutfrom the candidate at that scale; the only guard on that route is this line,gemOut > collateral x amount / debt, which keeps the payout within the CANDIDATE's own collateral per unit of its debt (its ratio cannot worsen) and says nothing about the book's backing.So every candidate below mat + gap (220 at launch) whose ratio is at or above the lifted figure x (1 - fee) pays the lifted figure in full, and with an EMPTY reserve the whole overpayment comes from the candidate's collateral: the gap to par is taken from the book, bounded by the debt of every eligible candidate (at launch most of the book), not by the Treasury's sIMD.
REPRODUCTION (test/scratch/CandidateLift.t.sol; ParameterizedVault over MockIMD at $1, NHI 0.85, Treasury holds NOTHING): UNDERWATER lock(170,000) draw(100,000); CANDIDATE lock(30,000) draw(10,000); +2 days; IMD to $0.50 (UNDERWATER 85%, CANDIDATE 150%, eligible): backingPerUnit() == 863636363636363636, the honest figure ((85,000 + 10,000) / 110,000, live = lagged).
NEWCOMER lock(2,000,000) draw(500,000) (200% at $0.50, about 4.5 times the warm book); +15 minutes: backingPerUnit() == 995346872925276794. NEWCOMER cash(5,000, 0, CANDIDATE). EXPECTED per the stated bound: nothing beyond the reserve can be taken, so with no reserve the candidate pays at most the honest 0.8636 x (1 - fee): 8,419.6e18 raw IMD.
ACTUAL: 9,703.6e18 raw IMD paid, all from the candidate's collateral (its collateral falls by exactly the payout, the Treasury's balance is unchanged), 1,284 IMD ($642, 15%) above the honest payout; the newcomer then repays and is unwound. The attacker redeems the imdUSD it drew, so no market purchase is needed for the redemption; its cost is the lift's collateral for fifteen minutes and the 0.5% fee.
Reachable with the constants as committed while the book is thin (the lift needs collateral about twice k times the warm book, which binds on a mature book but not at launch). The lift itself is accepted and is not the finding; the finding is that the reason given is wrong (the candidate's ratio staying constant is not a pro-rata payout of the book's backing) and the bound and its mitigation are therefore wrong: keeping the Treasury's sIMD small bounds nothing on this route.
SMALLEST FIX is a decision for the requester, as the panel said: either restate the bound at CDPVault 327-329, in the delta panel Resolution #3 and in docs/MAINNET-RUNBOOK.md section 7 as the gap to par on the reserve PLUS the debt of every eligible candidate, dropping 'a position-funded payout stays pro rata'; or close it in code, for instance by counting a fresh position's lagged contribution at min(its secured value, its warm principal) rather than its whole term (the panel declined a slower collateral warm-up because it underpays honest loans; this narrower cap only bounds a fresh position's contribution at par).

lowCDPVault.securedCollateral: a position's term fixed at a crash low is counted at the recovered price in both the live and the lagged figure, and the 'aggregate cap' the NatSpec says bounds the over-cosrc/CDPVault.sol:285
Q1, Q5 and Q8. Each term in
securedCollateralis min(collateral, 2 x principal / price) at the price of the position's LAST touch (_secured, 940-946), and_securedCollateralValue(836-851) values the sum at the CURRENT price, capped at mat x prior principal. The NatSpec admits the surplus above 200% is approximated and says a rise counts 'for more, which the aggregate cap bounds'.That cap is 170% of the warm debt, above par by construction, so it never binds while the book is below par, which is exactly when the payout is scaled by the figure; the over-count flows straight into both the live and the lagged figure (both use the same stale
held), and nothing but the owner's own transaction re-prices the term (bark,heelandbitedo not touch a healthy position's term;cashcannot name one above mat + gap).A position re-collateralised at a low to above 200% (the prudent action) fixes its term at 2P / p_low; at a recovered price f x p_low it is worth 2fP against an honest 2P. The same holds for any band position (term = collateral) untouched through a rise: counted collateral x new price, above 2P.
REPRODUCTION (test/scratch/StaleTermRise.t.sol; ParameterizedVault over MockIMD at $1, NHI 0.85, Treasury 2,000 IMD): UNDERWATER lock(170,000) draw(100,000); WHALE lock(50,000) draw(10,000) (500%, term 20,000) and hands REDEEMER 5,000 imdUSD. IMD to $0.25 (UNDERWATER 42.5%, WHALE 125%); WHALE lock(50,000) at the low: 250%, term re-priced to min(100,000, 2 x 10,000 / 0.25) = 80,000 IMD. +2 days (all warm).
IMD to $0.50: UNDERWATER at 85% ($85,000), WHALE at 500%, honest secured value 2 x 10,000 = $20,000, counted 80,000 x $0.50 = $40,000; securedCollateral == 250,000 IMD, worth $125,000, below the cap of $187,000.
EXPECTED: backingPerUnit() == (85,000 + 20,000 + 1,000) / 110,000 = 963636363636363636 and REDEEMER cash(1,000, 0, address(0)) paid at most 1,908.8e18 raw IMD.
ACTUAL: backingPerUnit() == 1e18 and 1,980.8e18 raw IMD paid from the reserve (72 IMD, 3.8%, over the honest payout). Reachable with the constants as committed; needs a fall, a partial recovery and an untouched position whose term was fixed at the low; bounded by the stale surplus over the supply and by the gap to par on the reserve (and on eligible candidates, per the previous finding), and the whale itself can redeem at the over-count. Low.
The price-fall half ('counts for less') is an accepted item; the finding is that the stated bound on the rise half is vacuous in the only regime where the figure matters.
SMALLEST FIX: a permissionless re-price, e.g.
function poke(address owner) external nonReentrant { _requireFreshFeeds(); _requirePriceAgreement(); _resecure(_positions[owner], _price()); }, so a keeper or a redeemer's counterparty can correct a stale term before paying against it (the increase side of such a re-price is already the accepted cold direction; the initcode margin is 2,357 bytes); otherwise state at 284-286 that the cap does not bound the over-count below par.forge test --match-path test/scratch/StaleTermRise.t.sol (fails on 9bd5f59 with 'a stale term priced at the low overstates backing after the recovery: 1000000000000000000 > 963636363636363636').

redemptionCeilingCR()is mat + gap (229-231), 220 at launch with gap 50 (Parameters allows 25-100), and_redeemPositionaccepts any ratio below it (871), so a 210% candidate is redeemable while its term is 2 x principal / price, not its collateral; the surplus-approximation caveat in the same paragraph applies to redeemable positions too. - CDPVault 408, 'this vault's subclass is already at 36,416 of the 49,152 EIP-3860 permits':
