1.lowDonations to the RUNNER/IMD pool are accepted: beforeDonate is never wired (BEFORE_DONATE flag not declared), so donated tokens are permanently lostcontracts/RunnerHook.sol:196
```
                beforeDonate: false,
```
RunnerHook defines beforeDonate()/afterDonate() overrides that revert HookNotAllowed (lines 555-569) and the comment above the block (lines 505-507) says everyone other than the hook is refused.

But the Permissions struct passed to Hooks.validateHookPermissions sets beforeDonate: false and HOOK_FLAGS (line 90) does not include Hooks.BEFORE_DONATE_FLAG (1 << 5). v4-core only calls beforeDonate when that flag is set in the hook address (Hooks.beforeDonate: if (self.hasPermission(BEFORE_DONATE_FLAG))), so the revert is dead code and PoolManager.donate() on the RUNNER/IMD pool succeeds for anyone.

Donated IMD or RUNNER is credited as fee growth to the only in-range position, which belongs to the hook; the hook never calls modifyLiquidity after launch and has no collect path, so the tokens are unrecoverable by anyone. No fee or reward accounting is affected.

Fix: either set beforeDonate: true and add Hooks.BEFORE_DONATE_FLAG to HOOK_FLAGS (the mined hook address changes, so the deploy salt must be re-mined), or delete the unreachable beforeDonate/afterDonate/afterInitialize/afterAddLiquidity/beforeRemoveLiquidity/afterRemoveLiquidity overrides and correct the comment so the code states what is actually refused. Reported by the flow specialist; reproduced here.
State: pool opened as in contracts/test/RunnerHook.t.sol setUp; alice holds IMD and has approved a v4-core PoolDonateTest instance.

Input: alice calls PoolDonateTest.donate(hook.poolKey(runner), imdIs0 ?

10e18 : 0, imdIs0 ?

0 : 10e18, "").

Expected (per the comment and the beforeDonate override): revert HookNotAllowed.

Actual: the call succeeds; PoolManager's IMD balance rises by exactly 10e18 (scratch test test_donateAllowed, log 'pm imd gained: 10000000000000000000'); hook.pendingHolderFees and pendingProtocolFees are unchanged; no entry point in RunnerHook can withdraw the 10 IMD.
2.lowRunnerDeployLib.sqrt returns 2 for input 2 (initial Babylonian guess is not an upper bound at x = 2)contracts/utils/RunnerDeployLib.sol:42
```
        z = x;
        uint256 y = (x >> 1) + 1;
        while (y < z) {
```
The integer square root starts with z = x and y = x/2 + 1 and only iterates while y < z. For x = 2 the first guess y = 2 equals z, so the loop never runs and the function returns 2, although floor(sqrt(2)) =
1. Every other x in [0, 50) is correct (checked exhaustively), so the defect is confined to x =
2. In its only caller, startTickForMarketCap, the argument is supply * 2^192 / marketCap, which is astronomically larger than 2 for any sane market cap, so the deployed start tick (142,600 for 635 IMD, matching js/config.js and test_startTick_matchesAppConfig) is unaffected. It is still a wrong result from a pure helper that tests and deploy tooling rely on. Fix: use the standard form z = (x >> 1) + 1; y = x; while (z < y) { y = z; z = (x / z + z) >> 1; } return y; or special-case x <= 3 (return 1). Reported by the math specialist; reproduced here.
Call RunnerDeployLib.sqrt(2).

Expected: 1.

Actual: 2 (2*2 = 4 > 2).

Scratch test test_sqrt_small asserts zz <= x < (z+1)(z+1) for x in 0..49 and only x = 2 violates it, returning z = 2.
3.infocollectProtocolFees can be driven mid-unlock by any unlocker, unlike flushcontracts/RunnerHook.sol:377
```
        if (poolManager.isUnlocked()) _collect(quote);
```
flush() (lines 366-369) enforces the rule stated in its comment: while the PoolManager is unlocked, only the hook's own routers may distribute, because a third party's unlock callback is running with pool tokens it may have taken. collectProtocolFees() is the paired distribution function for the other half of the same fee, but its mid-unlock branch has no caller check: any contract that calls poolManager.unlock() can call hook.collectProtocolFees(IMD) from its unlockCallback and the hook burns its ERC-6909 claims and takes IMD to feeRecipient inside the stranger's unlock.

Traced impact: the hook's own delta nets to zero (burn +amount, take -amount) and the IMD goes to the configured feeRecipient, so no funds are misdirected; the only effect is that the hook settles inside an untrusted caller's unlock, which the author chose to forbid for flush. Asymmetry between two paired functions, kept for consistency; no victim identified.

Fix (preserves behaviour): mirror flush: if (poolManager.isUnlocked()) { if (msg.sender == router || msg.sender == ethRouter) _collect(quote); } else poolManager.unlock(...), or drop the mid-unlock branch so protocol fees are always collected through the hook's own unlock. Reported by the permissions specialist; reproduced here.
State: pool open, alice buys 1,000 IMD of RUNNER through RunnerRouter, so pendingProtocolFees[IMD] = 20e18.

Input: an unrelated contract (MidUnlockCollector) calls poolManager.unlock("") and, inside its unlockCallback, hook.collectProtocolFees(IMD).

Expected (by the rule flush enforces): nothing happens mid-unlock for a non-router caller.

Actual: the call succeeds, pendingProtocolFees[IMD] becomes 0 and feeRecipient receives 20e18 IMD while the stranger's unlock is still open (scratch test test_collect_midUnlock_stranger, logs 'pendingProtocolFees after stranger unlock: 0', 'feeRecipient IMD: 20000000000000000000').
4.infoexcludePool's pool check is satisfied by any contract exposing token0(), contrary to its NatSpec guaranteecontracts/RunnerToken.sol:483
```
        if (_poolToken(pool, 0x0dfe1681) != address(this) && _poolToken(pool, 0xd21220a7) != address(this)) revert NotAPool(); // token0(), token1()
```
The NatSpec (lines 478-479) says 'Only contracts that report RUNNER as token0 or token1 qualify, so a wallet (including a smart-contract wallet) can never be cut out this way.' The guard only requires a staticcall to token0() or token1() to return RUNNER's address; it does not check for any pool behaviour (reserves, factory, liquidity).

A holder's smart-contract wallet, vault or any contract that exposes a token0() view returning RUNNER meets the test, so the owner can exclude it from holder rewards for every claimable day, and _exclude retroactively removes its weight from the unpaid days in the 7-day window. This is an owner-only action and the owner is trusted; the excluded account can still transfer freely.

It is kept because the stated guarantee in the documentation and AUDIT.md ('Real RUNNER pools only') is stronger than what the code enforces, and because exclusion is irreversible (there is no includePool).

Fix options that keep the design: document the actual rule, and/or add an include/revert path so a mistaken exclusion can be undone, or strengthen the check (e.g. require both token0() and token1() to resolve and a factory()/getReserves()-style surface), noting that no on-chain check can perfectly distinguish a pool from a wallet. Reported by the permissions specialist; reproduced here.
State: contract W with address public token0 = RUNNER holds 1,000,000 RUNNER received from the team wallet.

Input: owner calls excludePool(W).

Expected per NatSpec: revert NotAPool, since W is a wallet, not a pool.

Actual: the call succeeds, excludedFromHolderRewards[W] = true, eligibleBalanceOn(W, today) = 0, and eligibleSupply drops by exactly 1,000,000e18 (scratch test test_excludePool_wallet).
5.infoTrade event attributes non-router swaps to tx.origincontracts/RunnerHook.sol:340
```
            (sender == router || sender == ethRouter) && hookData.length == 32 ? abi.decode(hookData, (address)) : tx.origin;
```
For swaps that do not come through RunnerRouter/RunnerEthRouter the hook records tx.origin as the trader. A smart-contract wallet (Safe, ERC-4337 account) trading through another v4 router, or a user whose transaction is relayed, is attributed to the relayer/bundler EOA.

Nothing in the contracts or the repository's JS reads this field for rewards, fees or permissions, so the impact is limited to off-chain analytics and explorers. hookData is attacker-chosen for non-router senders, and the code correctly ignores it in that case.

Suggested change: emit sender (the router contract) when the sender is not one of the hook's own routers, or emit both. Reported by the permissions specialist; reproduced here.
State: pool open.

Input: relayer EOA R sends a transaction in which contract C calls a v4-core PoolSwapTest router to buy RUNNER with 1,000 IMD (vm.prank(C, R) in Foundry).

Expected: Trade.trader identifies the trading account C or the router.

Actual: the Trade log's indexed trader topic equals R, the tx.origin (scratch test test_tradeEvent_txOrigin, log 'trader: 0x011f44c6...8dB8' == makeAddr('relayer')).
6.infoemissionSchedule() reports a superseded schedule as `current` once the pending one is in forcecontracts/RunnerToken.sol:458
```
    function emissionSchedule() external view returns (Schedule memory current, Schedule memory next) {
        return (_schedule, _nextSchedule);
```
Schedule promotion is lazy: setEmissionSchedule() only copies _nextSchedule into _schedule on the owner's next call (line 529), while emissionOn()/claim() pick the pending schedule directly whenever day >= _nextSchedule.fromDay. The NatSpec says the view returns 'the schedule in force and the one waiting to start', but after the pending schedule's fromDay passes the view keeps returning the old schedule as current and the live one as next, even though nothing is waiting.

Economic impact is nil (claim() and emissionOn() are correct); it is a view/write divergence that can mislead the app or an off-chain monitor reading current.dailyStart.

Fix: in emissionSchedule(), return (_nextSchedule, empty) when _nextSchedule.fromDay != 0 && _today() >= _nextSchedule.fromDay, or promote eagerly in a small internal helper shared with setEmissionSchedule(). Reported by the economics specialist; reproduced here.
Owner: startEmission() on UTC day D, then setEmissionSchedule(5_000_000e18, 30, 100_000e18) on day D (next.fromDay = D+1).

Warp to day D+1. emissionOn(D+1) == 5_000_000e18 (new schedule in force) but emissionSchedule() returns current.dailyStart == 10_000_000e18 and next.dailyStart == 5_000_000e18 with next.fromDay == D+1 == today.

Expected: current == the 5M schedule, next == none.

Scratch test test_emissionSchedule_view_stale (logs: current.dailyStart 1e25, next.dailyStart 5e24, next.fromDay 20501).
7.infoRUNNER or IMD transferred to the hook after openPool is unrecoverable (no sweep path)contracts/RunnerHook.sol:275
```
        token_.transferOut(DEAD, IRunnerToken(token_).balanceOf(address(this)));
```
The only code that ever moves an ERC-20 balance held directly by the hook is this line inside _addLaunchLiquidity, which runs exactly once in openPool (AlreadyLaunched blocks a second run). All later fee flows use ERC-6909 claims inside the PoolManager (mint/burn/take), never the hook's own ERC-20 balance. So any RUNNER or IMD sent to the hook address after launch (a user pasting the wrong address, or IMD sent to the 'pool' address shown in explorers) is frozen forever.

The comment on setFeeRecipient (line 423) acknowledges the IMD case; the RUNNER case is not documented. The hook is excluded from holder rewards, so there is no dilution; this is a loss-of-user-funds note, not a protocol defect.

Fix (optional, preserves the locked-liquidity design because it must never touch PoolManager positions or claims): an owner-only sweep that transfers the hook's direct ERC-20 balance of a given asset to a recipient, or document that the hook address must not receive tokens. Reported by the economics specialist; reproduced here.
After openPool: team calls runner.transfer(address(hook), 1e18). runner.balanceOf(hook) == 1e18; openPool(token) reverts AlreadyLaunched (scratch test test_tokensStuckInHook); by inspection flush/collectProtocolFees only burn claims and take from the PoolManager, and no other function in RunnerHook calls transfer/transferOut on an ERC-20. Expected: a recovery path or an explicit warning; actual: permanently stuck.
8.infoLaunch 'rounding dust' is not bounded by LIQUIDITY_BUFFER at extreme (but accepted) start ticks: ~0.87 RUNNER burned at startTick 887,000contracts/RunnerHook.sol:95
```
    /// @dev Kept out of the liquidity calculation so rounding can never ask for more than the allocation; burned.
```
_launchRange floors the liquidity L = (100M - 1e9) * Q96 / (sqrtU - sqrtL) (or the currency0 mirror). The RUNNER actually pulled by modifyLiquidity for that floored L is smaller than the allocation by up to one liquidity unit's worth of token, i.e. (sqrtU - sqrtL)/Q96 wei for RUNNER-as-currency1 or roughly Q96/sqrtL wei for RUNNER-as-currency0.

At the configured tick 142,600 that is ~170 wei (measured 1,000,000,170 wei burned including the buffer), so the comment and the existing test (assertLe(balanceOf(DEAD), 2e9)) hold. But the constructor accepts any tick up to maxUsableTick - 200 = 887,000, and there the floored-liquidity remainder is ~8.7e17 wei: 870,828,554,575,458,962 wei end up at DEAD instead of in the pool.

Nothing reverts and the amount (0.87 RUNNER of 100M) is economically negligible, so this is informational: the buffer comment is accurate in the safe direction, but 'only rounding dust burned' is only true near the production tick. If a different launch price is ever chosen, re-check the burned amount, or compute the exact owed amount via LiquidityAmounts/SqrtPriceMath and transfer that instead of the whole hook balance.

Reported by the math specialist; reproduced here for the RUNNER-as-currency1 ordering (the specialist also measured 874,638,813,332,944,459 wei for the other ordering).
Deploy RunnerHook with startTick_ = 887000 (passes the constructor's BadTick check), deploy RunnerToken against it, call openPool.

Expected (per comment/test): RUNNER at 0xdEaD approximately equals LIQUIDITY_BUFFER = 1e9 wei.

Actual: 870,828,554,575,458,962 wei burned (scratch test test_dust_extremeTick, log 'burned at DEAD (tick 887000): 870828554575458962'); the same procedure at startTick 142,600 burns 1,000,000,170 wei (test_dust_productionTick), within the documented bound.
9.infoRun-reward daily cap is per UTC day, so two full-cap claims can be paid seconds apart across midnight (header comment says 'per day')contracts/RunnerToken.sol:379
```
        if (claimedOnDay[day] + amount > emissionOn(day)) revert DailyCapReached();
```
The cap is keyed on block.timestamp / 1 days and resets exactly at 00:00:00 UTC. The contract header (lines 49-50) states 'even a stolen owner key can move at most 2.5% of the pool per day'.

That is true per calendar day, but the rate limit it implies over any rolling 24h window does not hold at the boundary: a signer (or compromised owner who rotates the signer) can have emissionOn(D) claimed at 23:59:59 and emissionOn(D+1) claimed at 00:00:00, i.e. up to 2 * 20,000,000 RUNNER = 40M (5% of the 800M pool) within two consecutive blocks, then nothing more until the next midnight.

No invariant of the contract is broken and this is inherent to the chosen day-bucket design, so it is recorded as a design note rather than a defect; it quantifies the worst case of the owner-key trust assumption recorded separately. If a true rolling limit is wanted, track a sliding window instead of a per-day counter; otherwise adjust the comment to 'per UTC day'. Reported by the math specialist; reproduced here.
State: signer set, startEmission() on day D (default schedule, emissionOn(D) = 10M), claimedOnDay[D] = 0.

At timestamp (D+1)*86400 - 1 call claim(alice, totalEarned = 10M, deadline, v, r, s, false) -> succeeds, claimedOnDay[D] = 10M.

At timestamp (D+1)*86400 call claim(alice, totalEarned = 20M, ...) -> succeeds because claimedOnDay[D+1] is 0.

Expected from the header comment: at most one day's emission per 24h.

Actual: claimed[alice] == 20,000,000e18 within 1 second (scratch test test_cap_acrossMidnight, log 'claimed within 1 second: 20000000000000000000000000').
10.infoPrivileged-role trust assumptions (documented, by design)contracts/RunnerToken.sol:499
```
    function setSigner(address newSigner) external onlyOwner {
```
Not a defect; recorded separately as the assignment asks so the requester can see the full owner surface.

RunnerToken owner: setSigner (chooses who can authorise run-reward claims) combined with setEmissionSchedule (up to MAX_DAILY_EMISSION = 20M/day, effective next UTC day) lets a compromised owner key sign claims to itself for up to 20M RUNNER per UTC day from the run-reward pool, indefinitely until the key is recovered (see the midnight-boundary note for the 40M-in-two-blocks worst case); setClaimsPaused halts claims (locks and holder rewards unaffected); setProtocolWallet redirects the protocol share and expired holder rewards (pending sweeps go to the new wallet); excludePool is irreversible.

RunnerHook owner: openPool (once), setFeeRecipient (pending, uncollected protocol fees go to the new recipient; may be set to the RunnerToken, which would reclassify protocol fees as holder rewards on the next sync).

RunnerGenesis owner: setTransferValidator accepts any address including one without code, in which case every transferFrom/safeTransferFrom reverts (Solidity's high-level call to a function with no return value checks extcodesize) until the owner resets it; setTreasury to a reverting receiver halts minting. Fee constants, liquidity lock, total supply and the 20M/day ceiling are not changeable by anyone.

All of these are consistent with the intended design and the README/AUDIT.md statements; the mitigation already planned (multisig owner before launch) is the right one. Reported by the permissions specialist; the claim-cap arithmetic was verified by the midnight-boundary test and the rest by code reading.
Concrete state for the largest power: owner key compromised on day D after startEmission.

Owner calls setSigner(attackerKey) and setEmissionSchedule(20_000_000e18, 7, 20_000_000e18).

From day D+1 the attacker signs Claim(attacker, totalEarned = 20M*k, deadline, false) each day and claim() pays 20M RUNNER/day (claimedOnDay[D+1] + 20M <= emissionOn(D+1) = 20M).

Expected: bounded by the daily cap, which it is; nothing above 20M per UTC day is possible (scratch test test_cap_acrossMidnight shows the cap is enforced per day bucket).

For the NFT: owner calls setTransferValidator(0x1234) (no code); any holder's transferFrom then reverts until setTransferValidator(address(0)).

Audit permissionsAgent #1694found 4 info
The review is complete and .imd-findings.json holds four substantiated, informational findings. No permission bypass, broken guard, or exploitable asymmetry was found in the five production contracts.

Scope and method. I inventoried every state-changing entry point in RunnerToken, RunnerHook, RunnerRouter, RunnerEthRouter and RunnerGenesis, classified each as public, owner-only or PoolManager-only, and traced each guard to its effect. I then applied the Access Control, Trust Gap and Asymmetry passes from the supplied Pashov guide: paired functions, admin setters that move in-flight value, retroactive accounting changes, and the hook's unlock and callback boundaries. Leads were confirmed with Foundry tests against a real v4 PoolManager before being reported. The project's existing 30-test hook suite passes on this code.

What holds up. Two-step ownership in all three owned contracts, including cancellation. Hook callbacks and unlockCallback are PoolManager-only, and the self-call skip means only the hook can initialise or add liquidity to its pool. Claim signatures bind account, total, deadline, payout choice, chain id and contract, with low-s and v checks. Retroactive share adjustment on exclusion freezes any day already paid from. Permissionless release, sweepExpired, flush and syncHolderRewards only ever pay the rightful account, the protocol wallet, or book to today.

Findings (all informational):

collectProtocolFees mid-unlock has no caller restriction, while its paired flush limits mid-unlock calls to the hook's routers. A stranger's unlock callback can drive protocol-fee settlement. Funds still reach feeRecipient, so no victim, but the pair is inconsistent with the stated rule.

excludePool accepts any contract exposing token0(), so the NatSpec promise that a smart-contract wallet can never be excluded is stronger than the code. Owner-only and irreversible, so documented as a trust assumption with a reproduction.

Trade event uses tx.origin for non-router swaps, attributing smart-wallet or relayed trades to the relayer. Nothing on-chain or in the app reads the field.

Privileged-role powers recorded separately: signer plus schedule up to 20M RUNNER per day on a compromised owner key, pause, protocol wallet and fee recipient redirection of pending value, and an NFT validator set to a codeless address blocking all transfers until reset. All match the documented design and the planned multisig mitigation.

Not covered. Fork tests against live Robinhood Chain were not run. The signing server was read only for how it builds the claim digest, which matches the contract's typehash.

infocollectProtocolFees can be driven mid-unlock by any unlocker, unlike flushcontracts/RunnerHook.sol:377
flush() (lines 366-369) enforces the rule stated in its comment: while the PoolManager is unlocked, only the hook's own routers may distribute, because a third party's unlock callback is running with pool tokens it may have taken. collectProtocolFees() is the paired distribution function for the other half of the same fee, but its mid-unlock branch has no caller check: any contract that calls poolManager.unlock() can call hook.collectProtocolFees(IMD) from its unlockCallback and the hook burns its ERC-6909 claims and takes IMD to feeRecipient inside the stranger's unlock.

Traced impact: the hook's own delta nets to zero (burn +amount, take -amount) and the IMD goes to the configured feeRecipient, so no funds are misdirected; the risk is only that the hook executes settlement inside an untrusted caller's unlock, which the author chose to forbid for flush. Asymmetry between two paired functions, reported for consistency; no victim identified.

Fix (preserves behaviour): mirror flush: if (poolManager.isUnlocked()) { if (msg.sender == router || msg.sender == ethRouter) _collect(quote); } else poolManager.unlock(...), or simply drop the mid-unlock branch so protocol fees are always collected through the hook's own unlock.
State: pool open, alice buys 1,000 IMD of RUNNER through RunnerRouter, so pendingProtocolFees[IMD] = 20e18.

Input: an unrelated contract calls poolManager.unlock("") and, inside its unlockCallback, hook.collectProtocolFees(IMD).

Expected (by the rule flush enforces): nothing happens mid-unlock for a non-router caller.

Actual: the call succeeds, pendingProtocolFees[IMD] becomes 0 and feeRecipient receives 20e18 IMD while the stranger's unlock is still open.

Reproduced with a Foundry test (MidUnlockCollector contract) against a real PoolManager.
infoexcludePool's pool check is satisfied by any contract exposing token0(), contrary to its NatSpec guaranteecontracts/RunnerToken.sol:483
The function's NatSpec (lines 478-479) says "Only contracts that report RUNNER as token0 or token1 qualify, so a wallet (including a smart-contract wallet) can never be cut out this way." The guard only requires a staticcall to token0() or token1() to return RUNNER's address; it does not check for any pool behaviour (reserves, factory, liquidity).

A holder's smart-contract wallet, vault or any contract that happens to expose a token0() view returning RUNNER meets the test, so the owner can exclude it from holder rewards for every claimable day (and _exclude retroactively removes its weight from the unpaid days in the 7-day window). This is an owner-only action and the owner is trusted; the excluded account can still transfer freely.

It is reported because the stated guarantee in the documentation and AUDIT.md ("Real RUNNER pools only") is stronger than what the code enforces, and because exclusion is irreversible (there is no includePool).

Fix options that keep the design: document the actual rule honestly, and/or add an includePool/revert path so a mistaken exclusion can be undone, or strengthen the check (e.g. require both token0() and token1() to resolve and the contract to hold a Uniswap-style factory()/getReserves()), noting that no on-chain check can perfectly distinguish a pool from a wallet.
State: contract W with address public token0 = RUNNER holds 1,000,000 RUNNER received from the team wallet.

Input: owner calls excludePool(W).

Expected per NatSpec: revert NotAPool, since W is a wallet, not a pool.

Actual: the call succeeds, excludedFromHolderRewards[W] = true, eligibleBalanceOn(W, d) = 0 for every day, and W's weight is removed from eligibleSupply and from today's and the unpaid past days' share totals.

Reproduced with a Foundry test (WalletWithToken0).
infoTrade event attributes non-router swaps to tx.origincontracts/RunnerHook.sol:340
For swaps that do not come through RunnerRouter/RunnerEthRouter the hook records tx.origin as the trader. A smart-contract wallet (Safe, ERC-4337 account) trading through another v4 router, or a user whose transaction is relayed, is attributed to the relayer/bundler EOA.

Checked: nothing in the contracts or the repository's JS reads this field, so no reward, fee or permission depends on it; the impact is limited to off-chain analytics and explorers. Also note that hookData is attacker-chosen for non-router senders, but the code correctly ignores it in that case.

Suggested change: emit sender (the router contract) when the sender is not one of the hook's own routers, or emit both.
State: pool open.

Input: relayer EOA R sends a transaction in which contract C (standing in for a smart wallet) calls an external PoolSwapTest router to buy RUNNER with 1,000 IMD (vm.prank(C, R) in Foundry).

Expected: Trade.trader identifies the trading account (C) or the router.

Actual: Trade.trader == R (tx.origin).

Reproduced with a Foundry test reading the emitted log.

The economic review of 0xtenang/Runner at commit 3ffb33f is complete. The findings file holds two informational notes and no defect of severity low or above.

What I checked. I built the project with the pinned libraries and ran the existing 30 tests, all green. I then traced every value flow by hand against the Economic Security, Invariant and Flow Gap guides. That covered the token's per-day checkpoint and share accounting, the run-reward emission cap and lock mechanics, the hook's fee in all four swap directions, the ERC-6909 claim settlement, both routers, and the single-sided launch liquidity. Where hand tracing could not settle a question I wrote randomized Foundry tests, which I deleted afterwards:

A 120-step stateful fuzz over transfers, burns, IMD donations, day changes, holder claims, pool exclusions and sweeps. After every step it asserted that eligible supply equals the sum of eligible balances, that each paid day's claim total fits inside its rewards, that IMD held equals the sum of unpaid rewards, and that nothing is left after everyone claims and the window is swept. 96 random histories passed.

A 40-swap fuzz through an external v4 router across exact-in and exact-out buys and sells. It asserted the fee is exactly the rounded-up 4% of the IMD side in every direction, that failed swaps charge nothing, and that the hook's IMD claims always equal pending protocol plus holder fees. 64 runs passed.

Economic conclusions. Wash trading cannot profit a holder, since a holder with share X of the eligible supply gets back only 2%·X of their own fee. Flash-borrowed pool RUNNER cannot earn rewards because the day-minimum rule ignores it. Partial fills and empty swaps are refused, so the fee is never charged on untraded volume. The launch position cannot be removed, since the remove-liquidity hook flags are unset and only the hook owns the position. The accepted trust assumptions remain IMD's issuer blocklist, feeless competing pools, and the owner's signer and emission powers, all already documented in the re-audit request.

Findings written to .imd-findings.json:

Info: the schedule view keeps reporting the old schedule as current after a pending one takes effect, while claims correctly use the new one. Reproduced with concrete day numbers.

Info: RUNNER or IMD sent directly to the hook after launch has no recovery path. The IMD case is acknowledged in a comment, the RUNNER case is not.

Limits. I did not run the mainnet-fork tests, and I only confirmed the live IMD token on chain 4663 has 18 decimals and is not an ERC-1967 proxy. The off-chain claim server was out of scope. A clean review is not proof of absence of defects.

infoemissionSchedule() reports a superseded schedule as `current` once the pending one is in forcecontracts/RunnerToken.sol:458
Schedule promotion is lazy: setEmissionSchedule() only copies _nextSchedule into _schedule on the owner's next call, while emissionOn()/claim() pick the pending schedule directly whenever day >= _nextSchedule.fromDay. The NatSpec says the view returns 'the schedule in force and the one waiting to start', but after the pending schedule's fromDay passes the view keeps returning the old schedule as current and the live one as next, even though nothing is 'waiting'.

Economic impact is nil (claim() and emissionOn() are correct); it is a view/write divergence that can mislead the app or an off-chain monitor reading current.dailyStart.

Fix: in emissionSchedule(), return (_nextSchedule, empty) when _nextSchedule.fromDay != 0 && _today() >= _nextSchedule.fromDay, or promote eagerly in a small internal helper shared with setEmissionSchedule().
Owner: startEmission() on UTC day D, then setEmissionSchedule(5_000_000e18, 30, 100_000e18) on day D (next.fromDay = D+1).

Warp to day D+1. emissionOn(D+1) == 5_000_000e18 (new schedule in force) but emissionSchedule() returns current.dailyStart == 10_000_000e18 and next.dailyStart == 5_000_000e18 with next.fromDay == D+1 == today.

Expected: current == the 5M schedule, next == none.

Verified with a Foundry test (logs: current.dailyStart 1e25, next.dailyStart 5e24, next.fromDay 20501, today 20501).
infoRUNNER or IMD transferred to the hook after openPool is unrecoverable (no sweep path)contracts/RunnerHook.sol:275
The only code that ever moves an ERC-20 balance held directly by the hook is this line inside _addLaunchLiquidity, which runs exactly once in openPool (AlreadyLaunched blocks a second run). All later fee flows use ERC-6909 claims inside the PoolManager (mint/burn/take), never the hook's own ERC-20 balance. So any RUNNER or IMD sent to the hook address after launch (a user pasting the wrong address, or IMD sent to the 'pool' address shown in explorers) is frozen forever.

The comment on setFeeRecipient acknowledges the IMD case; the RUNNER case is not documented. There is no holder-reward dilution because the hook is excluded, so this is an informational loss-of-user-funds note, not a protocol defect.

Fix (optional, preserves the locked-liquidity design because it must never touch PoolManager positions or claims): an owner-only sweep that transfers the hook's direct ERC-20 balance of a given asset to a recipient, or document that the hook address must not receive tokens.
After openPool: team calls runner.transfer(address(hook), 1e18). runner.balanceOf(hook) == 1e18 and there is no function on RunnerHook that can move it; openPool(token) reverts AlreadyLaunched; flush/collectProtocolFees only burn claims and take from the PoolManager. Expected: a recovery path or an explicit warning; actual: permanently stuck.
Audit mathAgent #96found 1 low, 2 info
The review is complete and .imd-findings.json holds three substantiated findings. No contract files were changed; the only writes are the findings file and my scratch tests under test/scratch/.

Outcome. The math in the six in-scope contracts holds up under the Math Precision, Boundary and Numerical Gap checks. I found no medium or higher defect. The three recorded items are one low in deployment tooling and two informational notes.

What I verified, beyond reading:

A randomized 300-run state model of the holder-reward accounting (transfers, burns, IMD syncs, day warps, claims, sweeps, pool exclusion). On every started day the sum of eligible balances equals the frozen share total, payouts never exceed a day's rewards, booked IMD equals the IMD balance, and claims plus sweeps conserve every wei.

Launch liquidity for both pair orderings at the configured tick 142,600: both open the pool and burn the 1e9 buffer plus about 170 wei. The constructor's tick guard matches what openPool can actually mint.

The IMD-specified fee directions still fill exactly with a Uniswap v4 protocol fee switched on, so the PartialFill check is not breakable by the v4 fee controller.

Emission halving, the floor, schedule promotion, instant-burn rounding at 1 to 9 wei, the daily cap at exactly the limit plus one wei, lock release at the exact unlock second, and early-release math all behave as documented.

The app's rarity formula uses BigInt and matches the contract bit for bit.

Findings written:

Low. RunnerDeployLib.sqrt(2) returns 2 instead of 1. Only input 2 is wrong in 0 to 49. Unreachable from the start-tick helper, but a wrong pure result in shared tooling.

Info. At extreme accepted start ticks such as 887,000, about 0.87 RUNNER is burned as "rounding dust" rather than the buffer-sized amount the comment and test describe. Harmless at the production tick.

Info. The run-reward cap is per UTC day, so two full-cap claims can land one second apart across midnight. This is inherent to the day-bucket design and contradicts only the "per day" wording in the header.

Not covered. No fork run against the live IMD token, so IMD-specific transfer behaviour (blocklist, any seizure powers) remains a documented trust assumption rather than something I tested. One scratch-test oddity worth knowing: with via-IR, Solidity treats block.timestamp as constant within a call, so tests that vm.warp mid-function and recompute deadlines can reuse stale values. That affected only my test, not the contracts.

lowRunnerDeployLib.sqrt returns 2 for input 2 (initial Babylonian guess is not an upper bound at x = 2)contracts/utils/RunnerDeployLib.sol:42
The integer square root starts with z = x and y = x/2 + 1 and only iterates while y < z. For x = 2 the first guess y = 2 equals z, so the loop never runs and the function returns 2, although floor(sqrt(2)) = 1 (2*2 = 4 > 2). Every other x in [0, 50) is correct (checked exhaustively), so the defect is confined to x = 2.

In its only caller, startTickForMarketCap, the argument is supply * 2^192 / marketCap, which is astronomically larger than 2 for any sane market cap, so the deployed start tick (142,600 for 635 IMD, matching js/config.js) is unaffected. It is still a wrong result from a pure helper that tests and deploy tooling rely on.

Fix: start the iteration from a guaranteed upper bound, e.g. z = x; y = (x >> 1) + 1; if (y >= z) y = z; is not enough; use the standard form z = (x >> 1) + 1; y = x; while (z < y) { y = z; z = (x / z + z) >> 1; } return y; or special-case x <= 3 (return 1).
Call RunnerDeployLib.sqrt(2). Expected:

Actual:

Foundry check (test/scratch/HookLaunch.t.sol::test_sqrt_small): for x in 0..49 assert zz <= x < (z+1)(z+1); the only failing input is x = 2, where z = 2 and 2*2 = 4 > 2.

infoLaunch 'rounding dust' is not bounded by LIQUIDITY_BUFFER at extreme (but accepted) start ticks: ~0.87 RUNNER burned at startTick 887,000contracts/RunnerHook.sol:95
_launchRange floors the liquidity L = (100M - 1e9) * Q96 / (sqrtU - sqrtL) (or the currency0 mirror). The RUNNER actually pulled by modifyLiquidity for that floored L is smaller than the allocation by up to one liquidity unit's worth of token, i.e. (sqrtU - sqrtL)/Q96 wei for RUNNER-as-currency1 or roughly Q96/sqrtL wei for RUNNER-as-currency0.

At the configured tick 142,600 that is ~170 wei (measured: 1,000,000,169 and 1,000,000,170 wei burned for the two pair orderings), so the comment and the existing test (assertLe(balanceOf(DEAD), 2e9)) hold. But the constructor accepts any tick up to maxUsableTick - 200 = 887,000, and there the floored-liquidity remainder is ~8.7e17 wei: 870,828,554,575,458,962 wei (RUNNER as currency1) and 874,638,813,332,944,459 wei (RUNNER as currency0) end up at DEAD instead of in the pool.

Nothing reverts and the amount (0.87 RUNNER of 100M) is economically negligible, so this is informational: the buffer comment ('so rounding can never ask for more than the allocation') is accurate in the safe direction, but 'only rounding dust burned' is only true near the production tick.

If a different launch price is ever chosen, re-check the burned amount, or compute the exact owed amount via LiquidityAmounts/SqrtPriceMath and transfer that instead of the whole hook balance.
Deploy RunnerHook with startTick_ = 887000 (passes the constructor's BadTick check: both l1 and l0 are far below tickSpacingToMaxLiquidityPerTick(200)), deploy RunnerToken against it, call openPool.

Expected (per comment/test): RUNNER at 0xdEaD approximately equals LIQUIDITY_BUFFER = 1e9 wei.

Actual: 870,828,554,575,458,962 wei when RUNNER sorts as currency1 (IMD etched at 0x1000) and 874,638,813,332,944,459 wei when RUNNER sorts as currency0 (IMD etched at 0xFffffffFffFffFFFffFfFFFFFffFffFFFffF1000); pool holds 100M minus that.

Same procedure at startTick 142,600 gives 1,000,000,169 / 1,000,000,170 wei (within the documented bound).

See test/scratch/HookLaunch.t.sol::test_dust_extremeTicks and test_dust_bothOrderings_142600.
infoRun-reward daily cap is per UTC day, so two full-cap claims can be paid seconds apart across midnight (5% of the pool in one block pair, not 2.5%)contracts/RunnerToken.sol:379
The cap is keyed on block.timestamp / 1 days and resets exactly at 00:00:00 UTC. The contract header (lines 49-50) states 'even a stolen owner key can move at most 2.5% of the pool per day'.

That is true per calendar day, but the rate limit it implies over any rolling 24h window does not hold at the boundary: a signer (or compromised owner who rotates the signer) can have emissionOn(D) claimed at 23:59:59 and emissionOn(D+1) claimed at 00:00:00, i.e. up to 2 * 20,000,000 RUNNER = 40M (5% of the 800M pool) within two consecutive blocks, then nothing more until the next midnight.

No invariant of the contract is broken and this is inherent to the chosen day-bucket design, so it is recorded as a design note rather than a defect. If a true rolling limit is wanted, track a sliding window (e.g. two-bucket or timestamp-based decay) instead of a per-day counter; otherwise adjust the comment to 'per UTC day'.
State: emission started, schedule at the default 10M/day (or owner-set 20M/day), signer set, claimedOnDay[D] = 0.

At timestamp (D+1)*86400 - 1 call claim(account, totalEarned = emissionOn(D), ...) -> succeeds, claimedOnDay[D] = emissionOn(D).

At timestamp (D+1)*86400 call claim(account, totalEarned = emissionOn(D) + emissionOn(D+1), ...) -> succeeds because claimedOnDay[D+1] is 0.

Expected from the header comment: at most one day's emission per 24h.

Actual: two days' emission within 1 second.

Verified the reset in test/scratch/Claims.t.sol::test_instantBurnRounding_andCap (claimedOnDay[d+1] == 0 immediately after the warp to (d+1)*DAY while day d is fully used).
Audit flowAgent #330found 1 low
The review is complete and the findings file is written and validated. Here is the recap.

Outcome. One substantiated defect, severity low, recorded in .imd-findings.json. No critical, high or medium issue was found in the five in-scope contracts, so no proof test was required. The working tree is clean apart from the findings file and the gitignored build output.

The finding. RunnerHook declares beforeDonate: false and leaves the donate flag out of its mined address bits, so the beforeDonate override that reverts is dead code. Anyone can call the PoolManager's donate on the RUNNER/IMD pool. Donated IMD or RUNNER becomes fee growth on the hook's own position, and the hook has no path to collect it, so those tokens are lost for good. Reproduction: after the pool opens, a donate of 10 IMD through v4-core's PoolDonateTest succeeds and the PoolManager's IMD balance rises by exactly that amount. Fee and reward accounting are unaffected. The fix is either to enable the donate permission and re-mine the hook address, or to drop the unreachable overrides and correct the comment.

What was checked and held up. I traced the control flow of RunnerToken, RunnerHook, RunnerRouter, RunnerEthRouter, SafeTransfer and RunnerGenesis against the Pashov, x-ray, Trail of Bits entry-point and ethskills checklists, and confirmed the following with scratch Foundry tests run against a real v4 PoolManager:

Fee accounting in all four swap directions matches the ERC-6909 claims the hook mints, and the PartialFill and EmptySwap guards hold.

Pool exclusion mid-window leaves every past day's payouts at or below its rewards, the sweep clears the held IMD to zero, and bookkeeping matches the token's IMD balance.

Locked and instant run-reward claims, matured release, early release with the 20 percent burn, the 30-lock limit and the next-day emission schedule all behave as documented.

Every state-changing entry point has the guard its effect needs. Router and hook unlock callbacks only accept the PoolManager, and the PoolManager only calls back the contract that opened the unlock.

Coverage notes. The existing 30 non-fork tests pass. The 3 fork tests were not run because they need a live RPC. The server-side signing code was read only as far as how it builds and authorizes the claim digest. One caution for anyone extending the test suite: with via-IR enabled, the compiler reuses block.timestamp across vm.warp in the same function, so day arithmetic after a warp should read the day from the contract rather than from a test helper.

lowDonations to the RUNNER/IMD pool are accepted: beforeDonate guard is never wired (BEFORE_DONATE flag not declared), so donated tokens are permanently lost in a position nobody can collect fromcontracts/RunnerHook.sol:196
RunnerHook.sol:555-561 defines beforeDonate() that reverts HookNotAllowed, and the comment above the block (lines 505-507) says 'everyone else is refused'.

But the permissions struct passed to Hooks.validateHookPermissions declares beforeDonate: false, and HOOK_FLAGS (line 90) does not include Hooks.BEFORE_DONATE_FLAG (1 << 5). v4-core only calls a hook's beforeDonate when that flag is set in the hook's address (Hooks.beforeDonate: if (self.hasPermission(BEFORE_DONATE_FLAG))), so the revert is dead code and PoolManager.donate() on the RUNNER/IMD pool succeeds for anyone.

Donated IMD or RUNNER is credited as fee growth to the only in-range position, which belongs to the hook; the hook has no modifyLiquidity/collect path, so the tokens are unrecoverable by anyone (not holders, not protocol, not the donor).

Impact: the stated design 'nobody else can interact with this pool except through swaps' is not enforced, and any integrator or user calling donate (e.g. a UI mis-routing a 'tip' or a third-party fee-share integration) burns funds permanently. No fee or reward accounting is affected.

Fix: either set beforeDonate: true in the permissions struct and add Hooks.BEFORE_DONATE_FLAG to HOOK_FLAGS (this changes the required mined address; the deploy salt must be re-mined), or delete the unreachable beforeDonate/afterDonate/afterInitialize/afterAddLiquidity/beforeRemoveLiquidity/afterRemoveLiquidity overrides and correct the comment so the code states what is actually refused.

Expected (per the contract comment and the beforeDonate override): revert HookNotAllowed.

#900Claudefound 2 low, 8 info
The findings file is in place at the repository root and the harness excludes it from git by design, so the tree itself is unchanged. The review is complete.

Outcome. All ten specialist findings reproduced against the code at commit 3ffb33f, with the exact numbers the specialists reported. None were dropped and none were true duplicates, so the findings file holds ten entries: two low, eight informational. There is no critical or high finding, so no proof file is attached.

How they were checked. I wrote a scratch Foundry suite under test/scratch that deploys the hook, token, router and a real PoolManager and drives each claim end to end. All eleven scratch tests pass, meaning each defect behaves as described. The project's own suite of 30 non-fork tests also passes on this code.

What was reproduced.

Donate accepted (low). PoolDonateTest.donate on the RUNNER/IMD pool succeeds and the PoolManager gains exactly 10 IMD that no hook entry point can recover. The beforeDonate override is dead code because the flag is not declared.

sqrt(2) returns 2 (low). Only input 2 is wrong in 0..49. The production start tick is unaffected.

collectProtocolFees mid-unlock. A stranger's unlock callback drained 20 IMD of pending protocol fees to feeRecipient. Funds went to the right place, so this stays informational.

excludePool accepts a wallet exposing token0(). Eligible supply dropped by its full 1,000,000 RUNNER.

Trade event trader is tx.origin for non-router swaps. The log carried the relayer address.

emissionSchedule() stale view after the pending schedule takes effect. Logged current 10M, next 5M with fromDay equal to today.

Tokens sent to the hook after launch are stuck. Confirmed by transfer plus AlreadyLaunched revert and code inspection.

Launch dust at tick 887,000 burns about 0.87 RUNNER versus 1,000,000,170 wei at the production tick.

Daily cap resets at UTC midnight. Two full-cap claims one second apart paid 20M RUNNER total.

Trust assumptions. Kept as an informational record. The RunnerGenesis claim that a codeless validator blocks all transfers was verified with its own scratch test.

Judgment on severities. I kept the specialists' ratings. The two low findings are real behavioural defects with negligible economic impact. The midnight-cap note is cross-referenced from the trust-assumptions entry rather than merged, because one is a header-comment inaccuracy and the other a role inventory.

Limits. The fork test was not run since it needs an RPC endpoint. No static analyzer ran. My own independent pass over the routers, token checkpoints, claim signatures and the NFT contract found nothing beyond the specialists' list, which is not proof that none exists.

RunnerHook defines beforeDonate()/afterDonate() overrides that revert HookNotAllowed (lines 555-569) and the comment above the block (lines 505-507) says everyone other than the hook is refused.

But the Permissions struct passed to Hooks.validateHookPermissions sets beforeDonate: false and HOOK_FLAGS (line 90) does not include Hooks.BEFORE_DONATE_FLAG (1 << 5). v4-core only calls beforeDonate when that flag is set in the hook address (Hooks.beforeDonate: if (self.hasPermission(BEFORE_DONATE_FLAG))), so the revert is dead code and PoolManager.donate() on the RUNNER/IMD pool succeeds for anyone.

It is still a wrong result from a pure helper that tests and deploy tooling rely on.

infocollectProtocolFees can be driven mid-unlock by any unlocker, unlike flushcontracts/RunnerHook.sol:377
flush() (lines 366-369) enforces the rule stated in its comment: while the PoolManager is unlocked, only the hook's own routers may distribute, because a third party's unlock callback is running with pool tokens it may have taken. collectProtocolFees() is the paired distribution function for the other half of the same fee, but its mid-unlock branch has no caller check: any contract that calls poolManager.unlock() can call hook.collectProtocolFees(IMD) from its unlockCallback and the hook burns its ERC-6909 claims and takes IMD to feeRecipient inside the stranger's unlock.

Traced impact: the hook's own delta nets to zero (burn +amount, take -amount) and the IMD goes to the configured feeRecipient, so no funds are misdirected; the only effect is that the hook settles inside an untrusted caller's unlock, which the author chose to forbid for flush. Asymmetry between two paired functions, kept for consistency; no victim identified.

Fix (preserves behaviour): mirror flush: if (poolManager.isUnlocked()) { if (msg.sender == router || msg.sender == ethRouter) _collect(quote); } else poolManager.unlock(...), or drop the mid-unlock branch so protocol fees are always collected through the hook's own unlock. Reported by the permissions specialist; reproduced here.
State: pool open, alice buys 1,000 IMD of RUNNER through RunnerRouter, so pendingProtocolFees[IMD] = 20e18.

Input: an unrelated contract (MidUnlockCollector) calls poolManager.unlock("") and, inside its unlockCallback, hook.collectProtocolFees(IMD).

Expected (by the rule flush enforces): nothing happens mid-unlock for a non-router caller.

Actual: the call succeeds, pendingProtocolFees[IMD] becomes 0 and feeRecipient receives 20e18 IMD while the stranger's unlock is still open (scratch test test_collect_midUnlock_stranger, logs 'pendingProtocolFees after stranger unlock: 0', 'feeRecipient IMD: 20000000000000000000').
infoexcludePool's pool check is satisfied by any contract exposing token0(), contrary to its NatSpec guaranteecontracts/RunnerToken.sol:483
The NatSpec (lines 478-479) says 'Only contracts that report RUNNER as token0 or token1 qualify, so a wallet (including a smart-contract wallet) can never be cut out this way.' The guard only requires a staticcall to token0() or token1() to return RUNNER's address; it does not check for any pool behaviour (reserves, factory, liquidity).

A holder's smart-contract wallet, vault or any contract that exposes a token0() view returning RUNNER meets the test, so the owner can exclude it from holder rewards for every claimable day, and _exclude retroactively removes its weight from the unpaid days in the 7-day window. This is an owner-only action and the owner is trusted; the excluded account can still transfer freely.

It is kept because the stated guarantee in the documentation and AUDIT.md ('Real RUNNER pools only') is stronger than what the code enforces, and because exclusion is irreversible (there is no includePool).

Fix options that keep the design: document the actual rule, and/or add an include/revert path so a mistaken exclusion can be undone, or strengthen the check (e.g. require both token0() and token1() to resolve and a factory()/getReserves()-style surface), noting that no on-chain check can perfectly distinguish a pool from a wallet. Reported by the permissions specialist; reproduced here.
State: contract W with address public token0 = RUNNER holds 1,000,000 RUNNER received from the team wallet.

Input: owner calls excludePool(W).

Expected per NatSpec: revert NotAPool, since W is a wallet, not a pool.

Actual: the call succeeds, excludedFromHolderRewards[W] = true, eligibleBalanceOn(W, today) = 0, and eligibleSupply drops by exactly 1,000,000e18 (scratch test test_excludePool_wallet).
infoTrade event attributes non-router swaps to tx.origincontracts/RunnerHook.sol:340
For swaps that do not come through RunnerRouter/RunnerEthRouter the hook records tx.origin as the trader. A smart-contract wallet (Safe, ERC-4337 account) trading through another v4 router, or a user whose transaction is relayed, is attributed to the relayer/bundler EOA.

Nothing in the contracts or the repository's JS reads this field for rewards, fees or permissions, so the impact is limited to off-chain analytics and explorers. hookData is attacker-chosen for non-router senders, and the code correctly ignores it in that case.

Suggested change: emit sender (the router contract) when the sender is not one of the hook's own routers, or emit both. Reported by the permissions specialist; reproduced here.
State: pool open.

Input: relayer EOA R sends a transaction in which contract C calls a v4-core PoolSwapTest router to buy RUNNER with 1,000 IMD (vm.prank(C, R) in Foundry).

Expected: Trade.trader identifies the trading account C or the router.

Actual: the Trade log's indexed trader topic equals R, the tx.origin (scratch test test_tradeEvent_txOrigin, log 'trader: 0x011f44c6...8dB8' == makeAddr('relayer')).
infoemissionSchedule() reports a superseded schedule as `current` once the pending one is in forcecontracts/RunnerToken.sol:458
Schedule promotion is lazy: setEmissionSchedule() only copies _nextSchedule into _schedule on the owner's next call (line 529), while emissionOn()/claim() pick the pending schedule directly whenever day >= _nextSchedule.fromDay. The NatSpec says the view returns 'the schedule in force and the one waiting to start', but after the pending schedule's fromDay passes the view keeps returning the old schedule as current and the live one as next, even though nothing is waiting.

Economic impact is nil (claim() and emissionOn() are correct); it is a view/write divergence that can mislead the app or an off-chain monitor reading current.dailyStart.

Fix: in emissionSchedule(), return (_nextSchedule, empty) when _nextSchedule.fromDay != 0 && _today() >= _nextSchedule.fromDay, or promote eagerly in a small internal helper shared with setEmissionSchedule(). Reported by the economics specialist; reproduced here.
Owner: startEmission() on UTC day D, then setEmissionSchedule(5_000_000e18, 30, 100_000e18) on day D (next.fromDay = D+1).

Warp to day D+1. emissionOn(D+1) == 5_000_000e18 (new schedule in force) but emissionSchedule() returns current.dailyStart == 10_000_000e18 and next.dailyStart == 5_000_000e18 with next.fromDay == D+1 == today.

Expected: current == the 5M schedule, next == none.

Scratch test test_emissionSchedule_view_stale (logs: current.dailyStart 1e25, next.dailyStart 5e24, next.fromDay 20501).
infoRUNNER or IMD transferred to the hook after openPool is unrecoverable (no sweep path)contracts/RunnerHook.sol:275
The only code that ever moves an ERC-20 balance held directly by the hook is this line inside _addLaunchLiquidity, which runs exactly once in openPool (AlreadyLaunched blocks a second run). All later fee flows use ERC-6909 claims inside the PoolManager (mint/burn/take), never the hook's own ERC-20 balance. So any RUNNER or IMD sent to the hook address after launch (a user pasting the wrong address, or IMD sent to the 'pool' address shown in explorers) is frozen forever.

The comment on setFeeRecipient (line 423) acknowledges the IMD case; the RUNNER case is not documented. The hook is excluded from holder rewards, so there is no dilution; this is a loss-of-user-funds note, not a protocol defect.

Fix (optional, preserves the locked-liquidity design because it must never touch PoolManager positions or claims): an owner-only sweep that transfers the hook's direct ERC-20 balance of a given asset to a recipient, or document that the hook address must not receive tokens. Reported by the economics specialist; reproduced here.
After openPool: team calls runner.transfer(address(hook), 1e18). runner.balanceOf(hook) == 1e18; openPool(token) reverts AlreadyLaunched (scratch test test_tokensStuckInHook); by inspection flush/collectProtocolFees only burn claims and take from the PoolManager, and no other function in RunnerHook calls transfer/transferOut on an ERC-20. Expected: a recovery path or an explicit warning; actual: permanently stuck.
infoLaunch 'rounding dust' is not bounded by LIQUIDITY_BUFFER at extreme (but accepted) start ticks: ~0.87 RUNNER burned at startTick 887,000contracts/RunnerHook.sol:95
_launchRange floors the liquidity L = (100M - 1e9) * Q96 / (sqrtU - sqrtL) (or the currency0 mirror). The RUNNER actually pulled by modifyLiquidity for that floored L is smaller than the allocation by up to one liquidity unit's worth of token, i.e. (sqrtU - sqrtL)/Q96 wei for RUNNER-as-currency1 or roughly Q96/sqrtL wei for RUNNER-as-currency0.

At the configured tick 142,600 that is ~170 wei (measured 1,000,000,170 wei burned including the buffer), so the comment and the existing test (assertLe(balanceOf(DEAD), 2e9)) hold. But the constructor accepts any tick up to maxUsableTick - 200 = 887,000, and there the floored-liquidity remainder is ~8.7e17 wei: 870,828,554,575,458,962 wei end up at DEAD instead of in the pool.

Nothing reverts and the amount (0.87 RUNNER of 100M) is economically negligible, so this is informational: the buffer comment is accurate in the safe direction, but 'only rounding dust burned' is only true near the production tick. If a different launch price is ever chosen, re-check the burned amount, or compute the exact owed amount via LiquidityAmounts/SqrtPriceMath and transfer that instead of the whole hook balance.

Reported by the math specialist; reproduced here for the RUNNER-as-currency1 ordering (the specialist also measured 874,638,813,332,944,459 wei for the other ordering).
Deploy RunnerHook with startTick_ = 887000 (passes the constructor's BadTick check), deploy RunnerToken against it, call openPool.

Expected (per comment/test): RUNNER at 0xdEaD approximately equals LIQUIDITY_BUFFER = 1e9 wei.

Actual: 870,828,554,575,458,962 wei burned (scratch test test_dust_extremeTick, log 'burned at DEAD (tick 887000): 870828554575458962'); the same procedure at startTick 142,600 burns 1,000,000,170 wei (test_dust_productionTick), within the documented bound.
infoRun-reward daily cap is per UTC day, so two full-cap claims can be paid seconds apart across midnight (header comment says 'per day')contracts/RunnerToken.sol:379
The cap is keyed on block.timestamp / 1 days and resets exactly at 00:00:00 UTC. The contract header (lines 49-50) states 'even a stolen owner key can move at most 2.5% of the pool per day'.

That is true per calendar day, but the rate limit it implies over any rolling 24h window does not hold at the boundary: a signer (or compromised owner who rotates the signer) can have emissionOn(D) claimed at 23:59:59 and emissionOn(D+1) claimed at 00:00:00, i.e. up to 2 * 20,000,000 RUNNER = 40M (5% of the 800M pool) within two consecutive blocks, then nothing more until the next midnight.

No invariant of the contract is broken and this is inherent to the chosen day-bucket design, so it is recorded as a design note rather than a defect; it quantifies the worst case of the owner-key trust assumption recorded separately. If a true rolling limit is wanted, track a sliding window instead of a per-day counter; otherwise adjust the comment to 'per UTC day'. Reported by the math specialist; reproduced here.
State: signer set, startEmission() on day D (default schedule, emissionOn(D) = 10M), claimedOnDay[D] = 0.

At timestamp (D+1)*86400 - 1 call claim(alice, totalEarned = 10M, deadline, v, r, s, false) -> succeeds, claimedOnDay[D] = 10M.

At timestamp (D+1)*86400 call claim(alice, totalEarned = 20M, ...) -> succeeds because claimedOnDay[D+1] is 0.

Expected from the header comment: at most one day's emission per 24h.

Actual: claimed[alice] == 20,000,000e18 within 1 second (scratch test test_cap_acrossMidnight, log 'claimed within 1 second: 20000000000000000000000000').
infoPrivileged-role trust assumptions (documented, by design)contracts/RunnerToken.sol:499
Not a defect; recorded separately as the assignment asks so the requester can see the full owner surface.

RunnerToken owner: setSigner (chooses who can authorise run-reward claims) combined with setEmissionSchedule (up to MAX_DAILY_EMISSION = 20M/day, effective next UTC day) lets a compromised owner key sign claims to itself for up to 20M RUNNER per UTC day from the run-reward pool, indefinitely until the key is recovered (see the midnight-boundary note for the 40M-in-two-blocks worst case); setClaimsPaused halts claims (locks and holder rewards unaffected); setProtocolWallet redirects the protocol share and expired holder rewards (pending sweeps go to the new wallet); excludePool is irreversible.

RunnerHook owner: openPool (once), setFeeRecipient (pending, uncollected protocol fees go to the new recipient; may be set to the RunnerToken, which would reclassify protocol fees as holder rewards on the next sync).

RunnerGenesis owner: setTransferValidator accepts any address including one without code, in which case every transferFrom/safeTransferFrom reverts (Solidity's high-level call to a function with no return value checks extcodesize) until the owner resets it; setTreasury to a reverting receiver halts minting. Fee constants, liquidity lock, total supply and the 20M/day ceiling are not changeable by anyone.

All of these are consistent with the intended design and the README/AUDIT.md statements; the mitigation already planned (multisig owner before launch) is the right one. Reported by the permissions specialist; the claim-cap arithmetic was verified by the midnight-boundary test and the rest by code reading.
Concrete state for the largest power: owner key compromised on day D after startEmission.

Owner calls setSigner(attackerKey) and setEmissionSchedule(20_000_000e18, 7, 20_000_000e18).

From day D+1 the attacker signs Claim(attacker, totalEarned = 20M*k, deadline, false) each day and claim() pays 20M RUNNER/day (claimedOnDay[D+1] + 20M <= emissionOn(D+1) = 20M).

Expected: bounded by the daily cap, which it is; nothing above 20M per UTC day is possible (scratch test test_cap_acrossMidnight shows the cap is enforced per day bucket).

For the NFT: owner calls setTransferValidator(0x1234) (no code); any holder's transferFrom then reverts until setTransferValidator(address(0)).
