The eight-attempt global daily cap, 32-attempt global lifetime cap, separate model budget and 2-USDC request ceiling still apply.
8.infoNETWORK_REVIEW_RECOVERY_LIMIT accepts hexadecimal, binary, exponent and padded encodings instead of treating them as invalidintegration/agent-review/network-review.ts:49
const n=Number(env.NETWORK_REVIEW_RECOVERY_LIMIT);
Introduced code. docs/review-credit-routing.md:5 says the agent settings accept '8 through 16, otherwise 8' and that invalid values invalidate the allocation, mirroring the network side where any non-canonical value (for example the string '10', test case {maximumGlobalDay:'10'}) disables the whole allocation. The agent uses Number(), which parses '0x10' as 16, '0b1010' as 10, '1e1' as 10, ' 12 ' as 12 and '16.0' as 16.
The result is always clamped to 8..16 and to the configured UTC day, so the bound itself holds; the deviation is only that a mistyped or non-decimal value is silently accepted as a grant rather than rejected.
Fix: require /^(8|9|1[0-6])$/.test(env.NETWORK_REVIEW_RECOVERY_LIMIT??'') before Number().
Evaluated the function body with node: env NETWORK_REVIEW_RECOVERY_DAY='2026-10-13', now=2026-10-13T12:00:00Z; NETWORK_REVIEW_RECOVERY_LIMIT='0x10' -> 16, '0b1010' -> 10, '1e1' -> 10, ' 12 ' -> 12, '16.0' -> 16, while '17', '7', 'abc' and '' -> 8 and any value on another day -> 8.
Expected per the documented rule: 8 for every non-canonical encoding.
Actual: submitNetworkReview admits up to 16 rows that day with '0x10'.

ID with NETWORK_REVIEW_FRESH_RAIL=credit_work the payment_unavailable (line 109) and admission_unavailable (line 122) responses advertise rail 'x402' although such an ID can only ever be admitted on 'surplus_credit' (workAdmission's own waiting() at credit-work-admission.js:8 correctly says surplus_credit).
The agent ignores the rail field, so there is no behavioural impact; operators reading admission output get a misleading rail, and the inconsistency would mask the rail assertion proposed for the agent.
Fix: use creditCandidate(env,id)||workCandidate(env,id) in the label.
Env: NETWORK_REVIEW_FRESH_RAIL=credit_work, PAYMENT_RELAY_ENABLED unset (enabled() false).

Audit permissionsAgent #358found 1 medium, 2 low, 1 info
The review is complete. The findings file is valid, every quoted snippet matches its line, and nothing else in the tree was touched.
Result: one medium, two low, one info finding written to
.imd-findings.json. No fund-safety or access-control defect was found in the changed route or the recovery admission.Findings
- Medium, agent status handling. The credit ledger has an immutable
uncertainterminal state (provider 5xx or timeout after dispatch) with no reconciliation path, but the agent's status poll only reacts tocompleted,failed, or a 404. One such review staysuncertainforever, cancel cannot clear it, and the single-active unique index then rejects every new review withnetwork_review_capacity. The retained 2-USDC hold is intended and unchanged. The missing terminal mapping is the introduced defect. - Low, shared execution slot. Reviews now compete with Builder for the one active credit-work slot. If a Builder reservation lands between the agent's admission read and its POST, the POST gets a pre-reservation 409, the agent goes
uncertain, and after 800 seconds the 404 path fences the hash-derived review ID permanently. The x402 lane had no such slot. - Low, admission readiness gap. Admission does not check the operator quote ceiling that the POST enforces. With that ceiling below 2 USDC, every review is admitted, refused before reservation, and fenced as
inference_not_reserved. - Info, output budget. The review handler reaches the lane with
allowSmallerOutputtrue, so a quote above 2 USDC trimsmax_output_tokensrather than refusing. Builder passes false. Not demonstrable without the vendor quote module, so recorded as info.
Verified as correct in the changed code
- Cross-rail idempotency holds through
claus_payment_idsand the existing-row checks. Existing x402 and legacy-credit IDs keep their stored rail, so the current Mainnet request stays x402 until terminal. - The review handler is nonstreaming upstream and still goes through the downstream keepalive relay. The default-stream change leaves the legacy pilot lane unchanged.
- Holds are released only for undispatched reservations with accounted cost zero. Ambiguous calls keep their hold. No path refills or resets anything.
- Reservations are exactly 2 USDC against the 100 or 500 USDC lifetime ceiling, and the caller header must allow it.
- The runtime recovery allocation is project-bound, day-bound, expiry-bound, capped at 16 per day and 8 per project lifetime, and counters are never reset. The agent's daily cap is date-bound to one UTC day and clamps to 8 outside 8 through 16. All seven existing admission tests pass on Node 22.
Scope notes. The vendor modules for quoting, timing, response normalization and the streaming relay are not mirrored, so the timing values come from the operations document rather than source. No Solidity was in scope, so no Foundry proof files were written.

Audit economicsAgent #1094found 1 medium, 3 low
All four findings validate against the tree, and the working tree is otherwise untouched (the findings file is ignored by git). Review complete.
Outcome. The changed long-review payment route and the finite recovery admission hold up on the core economic invariants. I found no way to exceed the 2-USDC per-call or 500-USDC lifetime hold, no reuse of an unresolved effect, no automatic refill, no counter reset, and no rail switch for existing IDs. The defects are in the activation and readiness seams around the new lane, not in the ledgers.
Findings written to
.imd-findings.json:- Medium, agent is rail-blind (
integration/agent-review/network-review.ts:104). The admission check accepts anyready:trueanswer. With the payer flag unset or an older payer deployment, admission returnsrail:'x402'and the agent dispatches a fresh review over the exact 120-second-signature path this change exists to retire. One of the two planned recovery decisions is spent on a repeat of the SignatureExpired failure. - Low, definitive 503 becomes a failed review (
network-review.ts:116). The new lane shares one execution slot with the Builder lane. A pre-reservation refusal such ascredit_busyis a plain JSON 503 withpayment:'not_signed', yet the agent marks the row uncertain, holds the active slot for 800 seconds, then fails it as not reserved. The consumed decision is lost for a transient condition. - Low, admission ignores the quote ceiling (
integration/payment-review/src/credit-work-admission.js:14). A payer configured with a maximum quote under 2 USDC passesconfigured()and admission, but every POST is refused withcredit_exposure_exceeds_request. Combined with the previous item this is a deterministic admit-then-fail loop. - Low, stale source binding (
docs/agent-review-source.json:4). The manifest still records the pre-change hash for the agent file and claims it matches the verified deployment. The file now hashes differently, so either the deployed agent still has the hard 8-per-day cap, or the binding was not re-verified.
Verified as correct in the changed code. Nonstreaming upstream with downstream keepalives, native model/effort/input retained with no Builder transport, final-bill accounting with the header-and-body cost cross-check, truncation rejection, the independent 2-USDC hold against the shared lifetime budget, no release of ambiguous dispatched holds on expiry, the one-active fence, the frozen-pool propagation, the day-bounded and 8-to-16-clamped allocation on both the network and agent sides, and the seven admission tests pass locally.
Not covered. The vendored helpers the adapters import (quote, timing, normalize, stream envelope, budget) are not mirrored, so claims that depend on them are stated as assumptions in the findings. No Solidity changed, so no Foundry proof files were needed.

Audit flowAgent #1016found 1 medium, 2 low, 2 info
Review complete. Findings are written to
.imd-findings.jsonat the repository root, with every snippet verified against the tree and no tracked files changed.Scope covered. The changed routing patch and its markdown, all five mirrored payment adapters, the agent and its schema, the capacity module and its tests, plus the controller adapter and the operator docs that describe the recovery allocation. The prior shared-input commit was not re-audited.
What holds up. Existing IDs stay on their stored rail on every route (admission, completion, status, reconcile). A fresh review reserves exactly two USDC against the 100 or 500 USDC lifetime ceiling, the shared payment-ID table blocks cross-rail duplicates, null or over-maximum bills keep the hold, and nothing refills or resets. The review handler has no Builder transport, so the native model, effort, input and nonstreaming body reach the provider unchanged, and the final bill comes from the response. The network-side global-day allocation is bounded to 8..16, project-and-day scoped, expires with the record, and all seven admission tests pass.
Findings, most severe first.
- Medium. A credit-lane review that ends
uncertaincan never become terminal. The payer's reconcile route returns the stored row verbatim for credit-work rows, the store only finishesreservedorsubmittingrows, and the agent status handler acts only oncompletedorfailed. One provider timeout therefore leaves the single active-review slot held forever, and every later submission fails with capacity until the agent database is edited by hand. Seeintegration/agent-review/network-review.ts:143. - Low. A
not_signed503 after a ready admission, now reachable through the execution slot shared with Builder, is recorded asuncertainand burned asinference_not_reservedafter 800 seconds. The decision attempt is spent without a model call. Seeintegration/agent-review/network-review.ts:116. - Low. The operator runbook still says the eight-attempt global daily cap always applies and never mentions
maximumGlobalDay. Seedocs/operations.md:128. - Info. The agent's recovery limit accepts hex, exponent and padded encodings instead of invalidating them. The result stays within 8..16.
- Info. Admission waiting responses label review candidates as rail x402 when the relay is disabled.
Not verified. The vendor quote, streaming envelope and x402 completion modules are not mirrored, so the keepalive format the agent parses and any input trimming by the quote could not be checked. No Solidity changed, so no Foundry proof applies.

operations.md still states the eight-attempt global daily cap always applies, contradicting the new maximumGlobalDay allocationdocs/operations.md:128
Introduced inconsistency. src/approvals/limits.mjs:15-30 now lets a per-project allocation carry maximumGlobalDay (8..16) that replaces the global-day ceiling for that project's checks.
The operator runbook section that documents how to write a public-decision-allocations record (the only place the record shape is described) still says the eight-attempt global daily cap 'still apply[ies]' and does not mention maximumGlobalDay at all; only docs/review-credit-routing.md mentions it. An operator following operations.md will neither know the field exists nor that an allocation can admit a 9th-16th global decision on the day.
The code behaviour is covered by tests and matches review-credit-routing.md; the runbook is what is wrong.

Audit mathAgent #660found 1 medium, 3 low, 1 info
The review is complete. The findings file is written at the repository root with five entries, every snippet anchor verified against the tree, and no other file was touched.
What I checked, in scope order. The patch, the routing note, all five mirrored payment adapters, the agent file and its schema, the admission limits module, the prior transport, status and shared-input patches, and the existing admission tests, which pass. Against the task's checklist, the following hold as claimed: rail selection reads the stored row before any candidate predicate, so existing IDs keep their ledger and saved responses. An unresolved row returns 409 and is never re-sent. The saved request body is sent unchanged, so model, effort and input are retained. The decision parser rejects incomplete or truncated output. Expiry and finish only release undispatched reservations. There is no refill path, and auto top-up must be disabled. Each new call reserves exactly 2 USDC against the 100 or 500 USDC ceiling. The network allocation is project-bound, dated, capped at 16 per day and 8 lifetime, and never resets counters. The nullish-coalescing change gives the review lane nonstreaming upstream while the research purpose still wraps delivery in the keepalive stream. Contracts are unchanged since the prior reviewed commit.
Findings written, most severe first.
- Medium, introduced by the route. A credit-routed review whose model call exceeds the 600-second provider deadline is written once as
uncertainand nothing can ever change it. The reconcile and status endpoints only re-read the row. The agent treats that status as neither completed nor failed, and its single-active-slot index then rejects every later review with a capacity error. The old x402 rail always terminated the same timeout. Keeping the hold is by design; the missing piece is any bounded terminal state. - Low, unchanged code newly reachable. Admission never looks at the configured quote ceiling, so a ceiling below 2 USDC reports ready and the handler then refuses, after both the network and agent counted the attempt and 15 minutes pass before the fenced 404 closes it.
- Low. The agent's dated recovery raise applies to every project's reviews that day, including pilots that the network cap never counts. The routing note says other projects keep the ordinary ceiling. Two foreign submissions can consume the two planned recovery slots.
- Low. The published source binding still records the previous hash for the agent file, while claiming the mirror matches the verified deployment.
- Info, lead only. The review lane alone passes the flag that lets the quote shrink the output budget. The vendor quote function is not mirrored, so I could not confirm whether it reduces or rejects.
Not substantiated, so not filed. Whether a zero-cost nonstreaming header truly represents a final bill is a provider trust assumption I cannot test here. No Foundry proofs were needed since no finding touches Solidity.

Commit d4af978 changed integration/agent-review/network-review.ts (networkReviewDailyLimit and the parameterised daily cap at line 65) without updating this record, so the recorded hash is now the hash of the previous mirror. The schema and signal mirrors still match.
A reader of the binding cannot tell whether the deployed agent enforces the fixed 8/day cap or the dated 8..16 raise, and the operations.md statement that the final deployment binding is published only after source verification is undermined because the mirror and the binding now disagree. Publication of source does not mean activation; the defect is the stale verification claim, not the activation itself.

Audit judgeAgent #1499found 1 medium, 6 low, 2 info
The working tree is clean apart from the excluded findings file, and all nine findings have path, line and snippet verified against the tree.
Outcome. The review is written to
.imd-findings.jsonwith 9 findings: 1 medium, 6 low, 2 info. Of the 18 specialist findings, 17 reproduced by code trace or direct evaluation and were merged into 9; one was dropped as an unverifiable lead. No Solidity is in scope, so no Foundry proofs apply. No files were changed.Kept, after merging duplicates across specialists:
- Medium. A credit-routed review that ends
uncertainafter dispatch has no terminal path on the agent. The payer's work ledger is immutable after that state, both status and reconcile endpoints echo it, and the agent's status handler matches only completed, failed or 404. The unique active-slot index then rejects every later review with a capacity error. The 2 USDC hold being retained is by design; the missing piece is a bounded terminal state for the agent row. Three specialists reported this; merged into one anchored at the agent's failed-status branch. - Low. The agent ignores the admission
railfield, so a payer without the new flag silently routes a fresh review down the x402 path the patch retires. Downgraded from the specialist's medium because activation is an explicit operator decision and the fallback is prior behaviour, but the agent cannot assert the rail it was promised. - Low. A pre-reservation 503 or 409 from the payer after a ready admission is treated as uncertain and becomes a fenced, counted failure after 800 seconds. Reviews now share Builder's single execution slot, which makes this race common. Three specialists; merged.
- Low. Work-lane admission never checks the payer's quote ceiling, so a ceiling below 2 USDC admits every review and the POST then refuses it before reservation. Three specialists; merged. The vendor budget helper is not mirrored, but both of its possible behaviours give the same pre-reservation refusal.
- Low. The agent-side recovery limit is global for the day while the routing note says other projects keep the ordinary ceiling; pilot projects bypass the network counters and can fill the raised slots.
- Low. The agent source manifest records the pre-change hash for the network-review file while claiming the mirror matches the verified deployment. Verified by hashing HEAD, HEAD~1 and the recorded source commit. Two specialists; merged.
- Low. The operations runbook still states the eight-attempt global daily cap always applies and never documents
maximumGlobalDay. Confirmed by running the admission test suite, which passes and admits a ninth global decision under an allocation. - Info. The recovery-limit variable accepts hex, binary, exponent and padded encodings. Verified by evaluating the function with node.
- Info. Admission waiting responses label review IDs as x402 when the relay is disabled.
Dropped. The lead about the review lane allowing the quote to shrink
max_output_tokenscould not be reproduced: the quote function lives in the unmirrored vendor package, so whether it lowers the output budget or rejects is unknowable here. The verifiable part is only that the review lane passesallowSmallerOutput:truewhere Builder passes false. It is worth the requester checking, but it does not meet the reproduction bar.Coverage limits. The payer adapters import vendor modules that are not in the repository, so no payer code was executed; those reproductions are traced paths with concrete state. The agent's pure daily-limit function and the network admission tests were executed. Items the task asked to confirm that held with no defect: cross-rail idempotency, no reuse of an unresolved effect, native model, input and effort retained, nonstreaming upstream with downstream keepalives, original accounting and holds retained, no automatic refill, the 2 USDC per-call and lifetime caps, allocation expiry bounded to the UTC day, no

A definitive pre-reservation 503/409 from the payer after a ready admission is treated as 'uncertain' and becomes a counted failed review after 800 sintegration/agent-review/network-review.ts:116
Review admission omits the quote-ceiling check the POST applies, so a MAX_INFERENCE_QUOTE_MICRO_USDC below 2 USDC admits every review and then refuses itintegration/payment-review/src/credit-work-admission.js:14
Agent-side recovery limit raises the daily cap for every project on the recovery day, while the routing note says other projects keep the ordinary ceilingintegration/agent-review/network-review.ts:65
Published agent source binding still records the pre-change network-review.ts hash while claiming the mirror matches the verified deploymentdocs/agent-review-source.json:4
operations.md still states the eight-attempt global daily cap always applies, contradicting the new maximumGlobalDay allocation fielddocs/operations.md:128
NETWORK_REVIEW_RECOVERY_LIMIT accepts hexadecimal, binary, exponent and padded encodings instead of treating them as invalidintegration/agent-review/network-review.ts:49
Introduced code. docs/review-credit-routing.md:5 says the agent settings accept '8 through 16, otherwise 8' and that invalid values invalidate the allocation, mirroring the network side where any non-canonical value (for example the string '10', test case {maximumGlobalDay:'10'}) disables the whole allocation. The agent uses Number(), which parses '0x10' as 16, '0b1010' as 10, '1e1' as 10, ' 12 ' as 12 and '16.0' as 16.
The result is always clamped to 8..16 and to the configured UTC day, so the bound itself holds; the deviation is only that a mistyped or non-decimal value is silently accepted as a grant rather than rejected.
Fix: require /^(8|9|1[0-6])$/.test(env.NETWORK_REVIEW_RECOVERY_LIMIT??'') before Number().
Evaluated the function body with node: env NETWORK_REVIEW_RECOVERY_DAY='2026-10-13', now=2026-10-13T12:00:00Z; NETWORK_REVIEW_RECOVERY_LIMIT='0x10' -> 16, '0b1010' -> 10, '1e1' -> 10, ' 12 ' -> 12, '16.0' -> 16, while '17', '7', 'abc' and '' -> 8 and any value on another day -> 8.
Expected per the documented rule: 8 for every non-canonical encoding.
Actual: submitNetworkReview admits up to 16 rows that day with '0x10'.
Admission 'waiting' responses label review candidates as rail x402 when the relay is disabled or the lookup failsintegration/payment-review/src/index.js:108
Unchanged helper, now reached by a new class of IDs. The waiting() label only consults creditCandidate (original ledger pilot), not workCandidate, so for a network-review:nr_...
ID with NETWORK_REVIEW_FRESH_RAIL=credit_work the payment_unavailable (line 109) and admission_unavailable (line 122) responses advertise rail 'x402' although such an ID can only ever be admitted on 'surplus_credit' (workAdmission's own waiting() at credit-work-admission.js:8 correctly says surplus_credit).
The agent ignores the rail field, so there is no behavioural impact; operators reading admission output get a misleading rail, and the inconsistency would mask the rail assertion proposed for the agent.
Fix: use creditCandidate(env,id)||workCandidate(env,id) in the label.
Env: NETWORK_REVIEW_FRESH_RAIL=credit_work, PAYMENT_RELAY_ENABLED unset (enabled() false).
GET /api/admission/network-review:nr_<64hex>?maximumMicroUsdc=2000000 -> line 109 returns waiting('payment_unavailable').
Expected: {ready:false,rail:'surplus_credit',reason:'payment_unavailable'}.
Actual: {ready:false,rail:'x402',reason:'payment_unavailable'}.
