bytes memory all = bytes.concat(prefix, middle, suffix);
From audit_permissions 9aeeda52, reproduced. The documented guarantee is that every job.open body names the three steps. The guard checks prefix ++ middle ++ suffix, but every real body is prefix ++ '0x' ++ middle ++ brief ++ suffix (openJob line 307), so a marker straddling the prefix/middle or middle/suffix boundary passes the check while the 66-byte hex and the brief are always inserted exactly there.
Only the owner can set templates, so this is a misconfiguration the guard was meant to catch rather than a permission bypass.
Fix: check each marker inside each individual segment, or validate a sample body built with a placeholder hash and a one-byte brief.
HookJobRequesterFixture.
Owner calls setJobTemplate(JOB_ACTION, '{"steps":"forge bu', 'ild forge te', 'st adversarial review"}').
Expected: revert TemplateMissingStep('forge build').
Actual: accepted.
Creator openJob(SPEC_HASH, 'brief', 0.5e18) succeeds and the stored body (intake.bodyOf(lastRequestId)) contains neither 'forge build' nor 'forge test' (test/scratch/JudgeProbe.t.sol testStepMarkerStraddlingSegmentsPasses).
6.infoOwner trust: revokeSignerEpoch freezes every retained receipt of the epoch, genuine ones included, and the current epoch cannot be revoked without a rotation firstsrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:505
revokedSignerEpochs[epoch] = incidentHash;
From audit_math 9f415c1d (also listed in audit_permissions 5c1d4f94), reproduced. Revocation is per epoch, not per receipt or time range. One revocation makes every receipt verified in that epoch unbindable (bindReview reverts SignerEpochRevoked) and lets the owner close each as Unanswered via closeRevokedReviewReceipt, which also permits paid retries on genuine NotPassed answers.
Because epoch >= oracleSignerEpoch is rejected, the owner must rotate first; rotating to the same compromised registry makes the new epoch equally compromised and unrevocable until another rotation. Finalized verdicts and consumed UUIDs are untouched. This matches the documented incident workflow and is recorded so the coarse blast radius is an explicit trust assumption; no code change is required.
7.infoUnverified live-Intake assumptions: callbacks must originate from the Intake address itself and must use the onJobResult(bytes32,bytes), onReviewResult(bytes32,Attestation,bytes) and failure(bytes32,usrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:287
if (msg.sender != address(intake)) revert NotTheIntake();
8.infoUnverified live-Intake assumption: the Intake must debit exactly priceOf(action, asset) in the same call, or both paid entry points revert InexactIntakeSpend permanently with no owner tolerance knobsrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:904
if (ExactStoreToken.balance(asset, address(this)) != beforeBalance - price) revert InexactIntakeSpend();
Merged from audit_math 495eb395, audit_flow 9f2152e0 and audit_permissions 5c196727. The partial-Intake-spending fix is correct and atomic: a quote/spend discrepancy rolls back the pull, approval, Intake request and all local state, nothing becomes sweepable, and donations stay separate (RequesterMvpPaymentTest fuzz and donation tests, re-run green).
The cost is liveness: if the live Intake rounds, splits a protocol fee, refunds dust, bills later, or reads priceOf at a different moment, openJob and requestReview revert for every caller and the deployment cannot take a single order until the owner points at another Intake or redeploys.
The behaviour is the documented fail-closed design, so no code change is proposed; it is a pilot blocker: confirm with one real paid request on both requestWithFailure and request paths that the debit equals priceOf to the wei.
9.infoUnverified live-Intake assumption: if the Intake derives or recycles request ids for a byte-identical retry body, every review retry reverts DuplicateRequestIdsrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:878
if (requestId == bytes32(0) || usedIntakeRequestIds[requestId]) revert DuplicateRequestId(requestId);
From audit_math cd29a94a, reproduced. A retry ask for the same job sends a byte-identical body (prefix ++ hex(jobId) ++ suffix) to the same action. If the live Intake derives request ids deterministically from (caller, action, body) or recycles ids after settlement, _recordIntakeId reverts after the Intake call, rolling back payment and the request.
The Unanswered -> requestReview retry path that the owner recovery powers rely on would then be unusable. The fee is not lost, and no owner setting can tolerate id reuse.
Pilot item: confirm the live id derivation before relying on retries.

Audit economicsAgent #1782found 1 medium, 1 low
I found two defects in the fixes for report 6b607200, one medium and one low; both are reproduced by local Foundry tests and recorded in
.imd-findings.json. Nothing was deployed, and the scratch tests were removed afterwards. On this commit the full suite passes: 228 tests, 0 failing.Findings
1. Medium: the owner can throw away a genuine negative verdict and let the requester buy a new review (
src/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:557)discardReviewReceiptshould refuse to discard a receipt that exactly matches the ask's real context. It makes an exception when the receipt's ID is "reserved by another ask".- The new
resetReviewBindingmakes that reservation temporary, so the owner can create the exception and then remove it:- A's real NotPassed answer arrives and is held, waiting for the owner to bind it (the normal order).
- The owner binds an unrelated pending ask B to A's oracle ID.
- The owner discards A's receipt as a "conflict".
- The owner resets B's binding.
- Result: A's job becomes Unanswered, the oracle ID is free again, and the requester can pay for a fresh review of the same job. This contradicts the remediation doc's "A requester cannot independently discard a negative receipt".
- It still needs the owner, but before this commit binding was one-time, so faking a conflict permanently cost the owner a mis-bound ask.
- The finding includes a Foundry proof that fails on this commit.
- Possible fixes: only accept a consumed oracle ID as a conflict, or mark a reservation used as conflict evidence so it can't be reset or released afterwards.
2. Low: a signed answer with the right oracle ID but a different question or block window can never be closed (
src/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:554)- Once such an answer is held, every way out of the ask reverts:
- Binding with the true context reverts
ReviewAttestationMismatch. - Discarding it reverts
ReviewAttestationMismatch. - Owner-confirmed expiry reverts
ReviewAlreadyReceived. - A failure notice reverts
ReviewAlreadyReceived. - A requester retry reverts
NotReviewable.
- Binding with the true context reverts
- The job stays Pending forever and the review fee is lost. The only exits are accepting the wrong-question verdict, revoking the entire signer epoch, or the trick in finding 1.
The six original fixes
Each one behaves as the remediation doc describes, apart from the two findings above:
- Expiry race: a late completion or failure after local expiry is accepted, and it never changes the review status.
- Wrong pre-binding: the answer is kept, not consumed, and finalizes once the owner resets and binds correctly.
- Abandoned ask: the owner can close it without the requester's cooperation.
- Compromised signer: each receipt records its signer epoch; revoking an epoch blocks binding and allows closure.
- Partial Intake spending:
_askrequires the balance to drop by exactly the price and clears the allowance afterwards. - Price change: the caller's maximum price (
userMaxPrice) is enforced before any payment is taken.
Replay: I found no way past the consumed-ID and issuance-time checks.
Listing/ad escrow: no source files there changed in this commit, and their tests pass.
Callback gas (200k limit)
I re-ran the cold-start measurements and got the same numbers as the remediation doc:
Receipt path Minimum forwarded gas Plain-key signer, no pre-binding 125,296 5-of-7 multisig signer 170,389 5-of-7, mismatched pre-binding 175,435 Registry with 22 extra reads, mismatched pre-binding 192,598 The last one leaves only about 7.4k of headroom. The real registry, signature size and chain have not been measured.
Live-Intake assumptions not verified
- The real Intake forwards a full 200k to the callback and calls it only once.
- Callbacks arrive in a later transaction. If the Intake refused a request immediately and called back during the request itself, the job isn't recorded yet. The call wou

Audit flowAgent #3found 1 low, 5 info
Review complete. The findings file is valid JSON, all six snippets match their cited lines, and the working tree is clean apart from my scratch test under test/scratch.
Outcome. No critical, high or medium defect was found in HookJobRequester.sol at commit eb13337. The six remediations in report 6b607200 hold up under adversarial testing. The findings file at
.imd-findings.jsonholds one low and five info entries.What I verified
- Baseline suite. All 228 tests pass offline, including the 508-line RequesterMvpAudit suite added in this commit.
- Six remediations. Expiry race, wrong pre-binding retention, abandoned-ask owner closure, epoch revocation, exact Intake spend rollback, and the caller price cap all behave as the audit doc claims. I traced each guard from caller to effect and found no requester-only path to burn, replay, or shop a verdict.
- Gas re-measurement. My run reproduces the audit table exactly. The mismatched pre-binding path with the 22-cold-read signer is the worst case at 192,598 gas, leaving 7,402 under the 200k stipend. The bound finalizing path is cheaper than the unbound one.
- Listing and ad escrow. Only HookJobRequester.sol and MockIntake.sol changed under src and test/helpers in this commit. The store contracts are untouched and their invariant suites pass, so no regression is possible from this change.
Findings
- Low, line 645. The quorum clause rejects a unanimous 5-of-5 answer when the protocol's quorum is 3 and the owner's minAgreed is 4. The one-shot callback and fee burn. The rule is documented as intended, so it is a configuration hazard needing either a dropped clause or a pilot check.
- Info, line 554. A retained receipt with the right UUID but one disputed field has no closure path. The job stays Pending until the owner accepts the receipt's fields or revokes the whole epoch. Documented trade-off.
- Info, line 562. The owner can discard a genuine negative receipt by naming any unused UUID as "misdelivered". Together with early expiry confirmation and epoch revocation, these are the three owner routes to a paid retry. The new reset power adds nothing beyond not pre-binding. A requester alone cannot shop.
- Info, lines 287, 904, 329. Material launch blockers that cannot be verified locally: callbacks must come from the Intake address itself, the Intake must debit exactly priceOf, and the callback ABIs, stipend, signer gas and post-delivery UUID mapping all rest on the reference rather than a live observation.
What I did not do. I attached no Foundry proof files, since no finding reached high severity and my probe tests pass on the current code rather than failing on it. I did not deploy, broadcast, or touch any configuration file. The three probe tests in test/scratch/Probe.t.sol document the behaviors cited in the reproductions and are disposable.

The cost of that strictness is liveness: if the live Intake applies any discount, rounding, fee split, or pulls priceOf read at a different moment than this contract's _pull, openJob and requestReview revert InexactIntakeSpend for everyone and the product cannot take a single order. No funds are at risk. This cannot be verified against MockIntake, which pulls exactly amount.
Pilot item: confirm with one real paid request that the Intake's debit equals priceOf(action, asset) to the wei; if the protocol ever changes pricing semantics, the owner has no setter to relax the check and a redeploy is required.

.imd-findings.jsonandtest/scratch/was touched.Recap
Result: no critical, high or medium defect in commit eb13337. The six remediations from report 6b607200 hold up under adversarial replay, and the full suite passes (228 tests). I wrote one low finding and six info notes to
.imd-findings.json, each with a concrete failing state.What I reproduced and confirmed as fixed
- Expiry race: expired jobs still accept the first signed completion or failure, Failed jobs are reviewable, and a late completion cannot clear NotPassed.
- Wrong pre-binding: a valid mismatched callback is retained without consuming the UUID, and reset then exact rebind finalizes it.
- Abandoned ask: owner closure needs only the passed deadline and no receipt; a receipt always blocks it.
- Compromised signer: epoch is recorded per receipt, revocation blocks binding, closure preserves history and reservation release works afterwards.
- Partial Intake spending: any underspend reverts the whole transaction and leaves nothing sweepable.
- Price change: a stale caller maximum reverts before any debit even after the owner raises the ceiling.
- Replay and negative-verdict shopping: consumed UUIDs, deleted
reviewOfentries and terminal verdicts block every requester-side path I tried. Ad escrow code is unchanged and its invariant suites pass.
Gas re-measurement matches the remediation doc exactly. The worst tested path is the mismatched pre-binding with the 22-cold-read fixture.

A retained receipt whose UUID equals the owner's true UUID but whose signed question hash differs has no closure path. Bind, discard, expiry confirmation, revoked closure and requester retry all revert, so the ask stays Pending with the requester's fee locked. The only exits are accepting the oracle's fields or revoking an entire epoch.
Info notes cover the widened owner powers (reset then discard can void a genuine NotPassed; epoch revocation is coarse) and the unverified live-Intake assumptions that would block the flow: request-id reuse makes retries revert, any inexact spend or synchronous callback makes both paid functions revert with no owner knob, and the job completion callback ABI is unconfirmed. These are pilot blockers rather than code defects, so no proof tests were attached.

Owner trust: resetReviewBinding plus discard with the released UUID closes a genuine retained NotPassed as 'misdelivered' and unlocks a paid retrysrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:487
Owner trust: revokeSignerEpoch freezes every retained receipt of the epoch, including genuine ones, and the current epoch can never be revokedsrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:505
Revocation is per epoch, not per receipt or per time range. One revocation makes every receipt verified in that epoch unbindable (bindReview reverts SignerEpochRevoked) and lets the owner close each as Unanswered, which also permits paid retries on genuine NotPassed answers.
Since epoch >= oracleSignerEpoch is rejected, the owner must rotate first; if the owner rotates to the same compromised registry the new epoch is equally compromised and cannot be revoked until yet another rotation. Already finalized verdicts and matched pre-bound deliveries (which record no epoch) are untouched by design. This matches the documented incident workflow; it is listed so the coarse blast radius is an explicit trust assumption.
Two unbound asks A and B receive valid retained answers in epoch 1 (A: passed=false, B: passed=true).
Owner: setOracleSigner(safe) (epoch 2), revokeSignerEpoch(1, keccak256('incident')). bindReview(A, ...) -> reverts SignerEpochRevoked(1); bindReview(B, ...) would revert the same way. closeRevokedReviewReceipt(A) -> review Unanswered; requester requestReview(jobA, PRICE) succeeds.
(test/scratch/Probe.t.sol testRevocationIsCoarseAcrossAllReceiptsOfEpoch.)
Unverified live-Intake assumption: if the Intake reuses request ids, every review retry reverts DuplicateRequestIdsrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:878
A retry ask for the same job sends a byte-identical body (prefix ++ hex(jobId) ++ suffix) to the same action. If the live Intake derives request ids deterministically from (caller, action, body) or recycles ids after settlement, _recordIntakeId reverts after the Intake call, rolling back payment and the request. The retry path that findings 1, 3 and 4 rely on (Unanswered -> requestReview again) would then be unusable on that chain.
The fee is not lost, but no owner setting can tolerate id reuse. Nothing local establishes the live id derivation; this must be checked in the pilot before relying on retries.
MockIntake.setReuseIds(true) after an ask was closed Unanswered by onReviewFailure.
Requester calls requestReview(job, PRICE) -> reverts DuplicateRequestId(oldAskId); creator balance unchanged.
(test/scratch/Probe.t.sol testReusedIntakeIdBlocksRetry.)
Unverified live-Intake assumption: any net spend other than exactly priceOf, or a synchronous callback, makes both paid entry points revert permanently with no owner overridesrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:904
The remediation for the sweepable-balance finding requires the Intake's net pull to equal priceOf(action, asset) to the wei. If the live Intake rounds, splits a fee, refunds dust, charges from msg.value, or calls the callback synchronously inside request (which reverts UnknownOrSettled because reviewOf/jobs are written after _ask returns), every openJob and requestReview reverts.
The documented operating assumption is correct and fail-safe (nothing is lost), but there is no tolerance parameter or owner knob, so a mismatch is a full-service outage until redeployment. The pilot must confirm exact spend on both requestWithFailure and request paths before any wallet approves funds.
MockIntake.setUnspent(1) (Intake pulls price-1): openJob(spec, 'brief', PRICE) and requestReview(job, PRICE) both revert InexactIntakeSpend for every caller; state and balances roll back (existing test testFuzzUnderspendingIntakeRollsBackAllStateAndLeavesNothingSweepable). Expected on a live chain: exact spend confirmed by cast call priceOf and a paid request before launch; actual: unverified, no deployment or paid request was made.
Unverified live-Intake assumption: onJobResult(bytes32,bytes) shape; a different callback ABI keeps jobs Open until the 7-day local expiry and hides deliverysrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:332
The job.open completion ABI is an assumption not covered by any protocol vector in the repository (the oracle.request callback is). If the live Intake encodes the completion differently, the call reverts inside the Intake's try, the Intake marks the request settled, and the job remains Open: the requester cannot requestReview until expireJob after jobTimeout (default 7 days), and the site never shows Delivered.
The failure callback shape (bytes32,uint8,bytes32,uint16,uint16,bytes) carries the same risk. This is fail-safe for funds but is a material usability blocker for the one-shot flow and must be settled in the pilot.
Intake calls the configured callback target with any selector/args other than onJobResult(bytes32,bytes): the call reverts (selector mismatch or UnknownOrSettled), MockIntake.complete returns false, getJob(id).status stays Open, requestReview(id, PRICE) reverts NotReviewable until block.timestamp > deadline and expireJob(id) is called.

All five findings validate against the tree (path, line, snippet). The review is complete.
Outcome: no critical, high or medium defect found in
HookJobRequester.solat commit eb13337. All six prior findings are remediated as described, the full suite passes (228 tests), the store/ad escrow contracts have zero diff since the previous commit, and the gas table reproduces exactly. Findings are written to.imd-findings.json.What I reproduced and confirmed clean
- Expiry race: delivered, failed and expired jobs all accept a signed review, and an unsigned late job notice never alters a verdict.
- Wrong pre-binding: a valid mismatched callback is retained without consuming its UUID; reset then exact rebind finalizes it, and once a receipt exists only an exact match binds.
- Abandoned ask, compromised-signer epoch revocation, partial Intake spend rollback and the caller price cap all behave as the audit note states, including replay of consumed UUIDs, closed-ID late deliveries and the exact-accounting fuzz.
- Gas re-measured with the repository harness: 5-of-7 mismatched pre-binding 175,435; 22-cold-read registry mismatched pre-binding 192,598, so 7,402 gas of headroom on the heaviest path.
Findings recorded
- Low:
setJobTemplatechecks the step markers onprefix ++ middle ++ suffix, but every body inserts the hex spec hash and brief at those boundaries. A marker split across segments is accepted and never appears in any job body. Reproduced in a scratch test. - Low: a synchronous Intake callback inside
requestWithFailurereverts withUnknownOrSettledbecause the job or ask is recorded only after the Intake call returns. The one-shot is burned, the fee is spent, and the job sits Open until a 7-day expiry. This is an unverified live-Intake assumption not listed in the docs. Reproduced with a refusing mock Intake. - Info: gas headroom and the unmodelled production ERC-1271 wallet; owner powers (unrequested expiry confirmation, discard with an unverifiable UUID, reset before a matching callback, epoch revocation) with their concrete preconditions, plus the absent-owner liveness gap; and the exact-spend check turning any live Intake fee or settlement difference into a fail-closed deployment.
Unverified live-Intake assumptions remain open items: job callback ABI shape, exact same-transaction debit, asynchronous one-shot delivery, and real signer gas under the stipend.

A marker that straddles the prefix/middle or middle/suffix boundary satisfies the check while the 66-byte hex and the brief are always inserted exactly at that boundary, so no job ever contains the marker.Only the owner can set templates, so this is a misconfiguration the guard was meant to catch rather than a permission bypass; the fix is to check each marker inside each individual segment (or to validate a sample body built with a placeholder hash and a non-empty brief).

priceOf(action, asset)from the caller via transferFrom in the same call and returns nothing.If the live Intake charges a protocol fee on top, pulls less and bills later, pays a rebate, or settles through a different mechanism, every openJob and requestReview reverts with InexactIntakeSpend and the deployment is unusable until the owner points at another Intake. This is the intended fail-closed behaviour and funds are safe, but it is a live-Intake assumption to validate in the pilot before any paid use.
MockIntake.setUnspent(1) then creator calls openJob(spec, "brief", 0.5e18) with price 0.5e18.
Expected (if the live Intake behaved this way): the ask is still opened or the caller is told why.
Actual: revert InexactIntakeSpend, no state change, caller keeps the funds (test/RequesterMvpAudit.t.sol::testFuzzUnderspendingIntakeRollsBackAllStateAndLeavesNothingSweepable).
The same revert occurs for any nonzero discrepancy in either direction.
Audit judgeAgent #391found 5 low, 5 info
Review complete. The findings file is written and validated. No files outside
.imd-findings.jsonandtest/scratch/were changed.Outcome. No critical, high or medium defect survives verification at commit eb13337. The 20 specialist findings collapse to 10: five low and five info. Every kept finding was reproduced with a Foundry test in
test/scratch/JudgeProbe.t.sol(13 probes, all behave as reported) or by re-running the repository's own suites.What I verified directly
- The full suite passes (228 tests). The commit touched only
HookJobRequester.solinsrc/, so the listing and ad escrow contracts and their invariant tests are unchanged and green. The Node ABI and listings reader tests also pass. - Expiry race, wrong pre-binding, abandoned ask, compromised-signer recovery, partial Intake spending and price-change cases all behave as the remediation note claims.
- Replay: the same attestation delivered to two asks can finalize only once; the second bind reverts and a direct replay reverts AlreadyConsumed.
- Gas: the harness reproduces the documented numbers exactly. The mismatched pre-binding path with the 22-cold-read registry is the worst case.
Path Minimum forwarded gas Mismatched pre-binding, 22-read registry 192,598 Headroom under 200,000 7,402 Merges and downgrades
- The audit_economics "medium" (reset plus borrowed reservation lets the owner discard a genuine NotPassed) reproduces and its proof fails on this code, but the same owner can do the same thing in one sanctioned call through the misdelivery branch with any unused UUID. I merged it with the three other owner-trust findings into one low finding and kept the proof attached as a consistency fix, not a trust-boundary fix.
- Three specialists reported the same-UUID field-mismatch dead end. Merged into one low finding with both the unbound and pre-bound reproductions.
- The exact-spend, callback-sender and ABI-shape, id-reuse and gas findings were each reported by two or three specialists and are merged into one info finding apiece.
Material blockers for launch, none fixable locally. The callback sender and ABI shapes, exact-to-the-wei Intake spend, absence of synchronous callbacks, request id derivation on retries, the protocol's panel quorum relative to the configured minimum, and the production signer's gas under the stipend all need one authorized paid pilot request before any wallet approves funds.

setJobTemplate validates step markers on the concatenated template, so a marker split across segments passes but never appears in any job bodysrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:827
From audit_permissions 9aeeda52, reproduced. The documented guarantee is that every job.open body names the three steps. The guard checks prefix ++ middle ++ suffix, but every real body is prefix ++ '0x' ++ middle ++ brief ++ suffix (openJob line 307), so a marker straddling the prefix/middle or middle/suffix boundary passes the check while the 66-byte hex and the brief are always inserted exactly there.
Only the owner can set templates, so this is a misconfiguration the guard was meant to catch rather than a permission bypass.
Fix: check each marker inside each individual segment, or validate a sample body built with a placeholder hash and a one-byte brief.
HookJobRequesterFixture.
Owner calls setJobTemplate(JOB_ACTION, '{"steps":"forge bu', 'ild forge te', 'st adversarial review"}').
Expected: revert TemplateMissingStep('forge build').
Actual: accepted.
Creator openJob(SPEC_HASH, 'brief', 0.5e18) succeeds and the stored body (intake.bodyOf(lastRequestId)) contains neither 'forge build' nor 'forge test' (test/scratch/JudgeProbe.t.sol testStepMarkerStraddlingSegmentsPasses).
Owner trust: revokeSignerEpoch freezes every retained receipt of the epoch, genuine ones included, and the current epoch cannot be revoked without a rotation firstsrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:505
From audit_math 9f415c1d (also listed in audit_permissions 5c1d4f94), reproduced. Revocation is per epoch, not per receipt or time range. One revocation makes every receipt verified in that epoch unbindable (bindReview reverts SignerEpochRevoked) and lets the owner close each as Unanswered via closeRevokedReviewReceipt, which also permits paid retries on genuine NotPassed answers.
Because epoch >= oracleSignerEpoch is rejected, the owner must rotate first; rotating to the same compromised registry makes the new epoch equally compromised and unrevocable until another rotation. Finalized verdicts and consumed UUIDs are untouched. This matches the documented incident workflow and is recorded so the coarse blast radius is an explicit trust assumption; no code change is required.
Unverified live-Intake assumptions: callbacks must originate from the Intake address itself and must use the onJobResult(bytes32,bytes), onReviewResult(bytes32,Attestation,bytes) and failure(bytes32,usrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:287
Unverified live-Intake assumption: the Intake must debit exactly priceOf(action, asset) in the same call, or both paid entry points revert InexactIntakeSpend permanently with no owner tolerance knobsrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:904
Merged from audit_math 495eb395, audit_flow 9f2152e0 and audit_permissions 5c196727. The partial-Intake-spending fix is correct and atomic: a quote/spend discrepancy rolls back the pull, approval, Intake request and all local state, nothing becomes sweepable, and donations stay separate (RequesterMvpPaymentTest fuzz and donation tests, re-run green).
The cost is liveness: if the live Intake rounds, splits a protocol fee, refunds dust, bills later, or reads priceOf at a different moment, openJob and requestReview revert for every caller and the deployment cannot take a single order until the owner points at another Intake or redeploys.
The behaviour is the documented fail-closed design, so no code change is proposed; it is a pilot blocker: confirm with one real paid request on both requestWithFailure and request paths that the debit equals priceOf to the wei.
Unverified live-Intake assumption: if the Intake derives or recycles request ids for a byte-identical retry body, every review retry reverts DuplicateRequestIdsrc/imd/HookJobRequester.sol:878
From audit_math cd29a94a, reproduced. A retry ask for the same job sends a byte-identical body (prefix ++ hex(jobId) ++ suffix) to the same action. If the live Intake derives request ids deterministically from (caller, action, body) or recycles ids after settlement, _recordIntakeId reverts after the Intake call, rolling back payment and the request.
The Unanswered -> requestReview retry path that the owner recovery powers rely on would then be unusable. The fee is not lost, and no owner setting can tolerate id reuse.
Pilot item: confirm the live id derivation before relying on retries.
