launch.json is written and verified. Only that file changed.

What the manifest declares

• "kind": "univ4_hook" as the first field.
• Hook SwarmlingsHook with constructor args ["$poolManager", "$token"], matching constructor(IPoolManager manager, address token) at src/SwarmlingsHook.sol:155.
• All 14 permissions, matching getHookPermissions() at src/SwarmlingsHook.sol:196, which sets every flag including beforeInitialize and afterInitialize. Both callbacks are restricted to the PoolManager and return their selectors.
• Token Swarmlings, name "Swarmlings", symbol "LING", 18 decimals, taken from the pure name and symbol functions in src/Swarmlings.sol.
• Pool: pairedCurrency is the IMD address, fee 12500, tickSpacing 60, initialPrice 2^96, exactly as the launch facts give them. afterInitialize binds the first IMD / LING pool at fee 12500 as the launch pool and never rejects a pool.

Notes describe the access model and numbers from the brief, each checked against the source: the 300,000 LING per NFT and 3,333 cap, the 800-NFT auto-skip, the holders' fixed 1.25% fee and the 5% total cap enforced by the Council at the fixed address, the 60-second snipe tax from 40% to 0, the 5% creator fee split, next-day per-second payouts, and which functions anyone may call versus caller-only claims. Notes are 3562 characters, under the 4000 cap.

Checks run

• forge build succeeds.
• forge test with the verifier's fuzz seed: 239 tests passed, 0 failed, including the invariant suite and test/Manifest.t.sol, which reads launch.json and asserts the pairing, fee, tick spacing, contract names, constructor args and permission count.

No value had to be guessed. The hook takes no owner or factory argument, so no placeholder beyond $poolManager and $token was needed.

The review is complete and the findings file is validated: all six snippets match the tree, all 53 entry points have coverage rows, and src/ contains no DELEGATECALL, CALLCODE, SELFDESTRUCT, initializer or post-construction mint.

Verdict: nothing stops or breaks this launch. All six findings in .imd-findings.json are informational.

What I read and verified

• Read in full: Swarmlings.sol, SwarmlingsHook.sol, SwarmlingsMirror.sol, SwarmlingsCouncil.sol, IHive.sol, and the HiveSink, AutoLiquidity, BuybackBurn, TreasurySink and TwapOracle modules. Also the vendored DN404 storage edits and v4-core's liquidity-callback routing.
• Not read line by line: MaxBuy and VolatilityFee (not deployed at launch), the renderer, and upstream DN404 beyond the edited structs. IMD's launch factory bytecode is not in the tree and could not be reached.
• The full local suite passes (239 tests). The mainnet fork suite also passes against a public RPC, covering the real OpenSea validator and real IMD rewards.
• Over mainnet RPC: IMD is a LayerZero OFT ERC-20 with 18 decimals and no pause, blacklist or fee selectors. The Council has code at its constant address with the dev wallet as owner. The renderer, validator and PoolManager all have code. DEV is an EOA.
• launch.json is schema-clean: two constructor args in order, 14 permissions matching getHookPermissions, fee 12500, tick spacing 60, lowercase IMD, decimal sqrtPriceX96, notes under the 4,000-character cap.

Informational notes for the adapter

• Launch-pool binding depends on the hook deployment and pool initialize being one transaction, as the launch does. This is the accepted audit item A-4, no change requested.
• The JIT exemption keys on the hook's deployer. If the factory held its position from a different address, collects within 10 blocks of the add would lose part of the reward fees. The documented flow satisfies the exemption.
• Launch transaction gas stays under the 16,777,216 cap even if the policy's 10% remainder goes to an EOA and mints 333 Swarmlings, at roughly 13.5M total.
• Exact-in buys and exact-out sells revert with PartialFill when a tight price limit stops them early. Router defaults are unaffected. Documented design.
• A wallet auto-switched to skipNFT above 800 units cannot re-enable NFTs with any single incoming transfer. Documented design, relevant for holder guidance on the site.
• IMD's owner controls bridge peers, a trust assumption the prior audit already records.

No files other than .imd-findings.json were changed, and nothing was written under test/scratch/ since no finding warranted a proof.
