The review is complete. The findings file holds 9 entries, every snippet verified against the tree, and no repository file was changed. Scratch reproductions live under test/scratch/, which is gitignored.
What I checked and found correct
- The ABI, status values, draw window (300 s), reveal window (600 s) and expire semantics match the v2 source, and the live contract at the v2 address reports the same constants. The
expirecheck uses strict greater-than, matching the contract'sNotExpiredcondition. - W-L1 holds: approve is always the exact reserved cost, so a raised price makes
buyPacksrevert on allowance rather than overcharge, and the revert is confirmed by the second read before release. - W-L3 holds: every malformed shape I tried (array, negative, exponent, bad key, uppercase key, null, BOM, wrong top-level type) throws the "unreadable" error before any signature. A missing file still starts at 0.
- All 51 existing tests pass and the typecheck is clean.
Findings, ranked
- Medium, src/server.ts:239. The success path lowers the ledger to whatever cost the receipt's TurnsBought log reports, with no second read. An RPC that relays the real buy but returns a log with cost 0 at the configured address leaves the ledger at 0 after every buy. Reproduced: with a 0.5 IMD cap, two buys both succeed and the wallet spends 1.0 IMD. This is the same actor and outcome W-L2 was meant to close.
- Low, src/server.ts:257. An approve failure keeps the reservation forever and never runs the confirming read. Two failed approves on a dust-ETH wallet exhaust a 1 IMD cap with 0 IMD spent.
- Low, src/server.ts:313. A read failure after a successful finalize drops the result and reports "already finalized or refunded". The tier and finalize hash are never returned.
- Low, src/server.ts:310. The foul note is decided from a block read taken before finalize is sent. A read of exactly commit+600 gives a FOUL with no note.
- Low, src/server.ts:328. A kept swing whose finalize reverts (third-party expire mined first) aborts the whole call and no new swing is taken.
- Low, src/server.ts:338. With a turn locked in an undrawn kept swing, the tool tells the agent to buy a pack.
- Low, README.md:58. The pinned run command points at the pre-v2 commit, whose default contract is the first SwarmDerby, so a copied command buys turns that cannot be played on v2.
- Info. The W-L2 second read goes to the same RPC; a consistently lying endpoint still bypasses the cap. This is a limit of the specified design, recorded as a trust assumption.
- Info, test/server.test.ts:290. The draw-timeout test matches only "Swing 42" and would not catch a changed message.

A failed approve (or any non-revert error) keeps the reservation permanently without the second read, so attempts that spent nothing exhaust the capsrc/server.ts:257
The before-buy snapshot is taken only after approve succeeds, and the release path runs only for errors flagged reportedRevert or confirmedNoCharge. Any failure of chain.approve (INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS for gas on a wallet holding dust ETH, which passes the
=== 0nprecheck; nonce errors; RPC down) therefore leaves the full reservation in the ledger although no IMD moved and no buy was attempted, and no verification read is ever made. Each retry reserves again.With DERBY_MAX_IMD=1 and the default 0.5 IMD pack, two failed approves leave the ledger at 1.0 IMD with 0 IMD spent, and the next buy is refused by the cap until the user edits the ledger file by hand. The spec's rule (release after a second read confirms turns did not grow and the balance did not fall) would safely release here if the snapshot were taken before approve and the check also ran for approve failures.
If a read fails after finalize succeeded, the swing's result is dropped and the call reports 'already finalized or refunded'src/server.ts:313
reveal() deletes the pending swing from the map as soon as pending.reveal() returns, then performs three more RPC reads (currentDay, dayScore/board, turns). If any of those throws (a transient RPC error), the error propagates into the poll loop, which treats it as a failed reveal, sleeps, re-reads status (now 3) and returns isError 'Swing was already finalized or refunded.'
The tier, feet and finalize tx hash that this very call produced are never returned, and because the entry was already deleted the next call cannot report them either. For a kept swing (line 328) the same failure aborts the whole call. The result should be captured before the follow-up reads, and a read failure should degrade the extra fields rather than discard the resolution.
The foul note is decided from the latest block read before finalize, so a reveal that mines after commit+600 is reported as a plain FOUL without the required sentencesrc/server.ts:310
SwarmDerby.finalize marks the swing a foul when the block that mines it has block.timestamp > committedAt + DRAW_WINDOW + REVEAL_WINDOW (600 s). The server computes
latefrom the latest block's timestamp before it sends the finalize transaction; that transaction can only land in a later block with a timestamp at least as large.When the read returns exactly committedAt + 600 (or any value in the last seconds of the window with the slow 1 s poll and the 45 s tx wait), the contract fouls the swing but the server emits no note, contrary to step 3 ('If a reveal happens after committedAt + 600 s, say that the swing counted as a foul'). The note can instead be derived from the SwingResolved result together with the receipt's block timestamp, or from the timestamp of the block that contains the finalize tx.
Fake chain, turnCount 1, stuck = true, drawTimeoutMs 10.
Call derby_swing (times out, swing 42 kept, committedAt 1000).
Set chain.timestamp = 1600, chain.pendingStatus = 2, chain.swingTier = 1 (what the contract returns for a finalize mined at >= 1601).
Call derby_swing.
Expected: earlier[0].note contains 'counted as a foul'.
Actual: earlier[0] is {swingId:'42', tier:1, tierName:'FOUL', feet:0, ...} with no note field.
A kept swing whose finalize reverts aborts the whole derby_swing call and no new swing is taken, although the caller still has a turnsrc/server.ts:328
Recovery of kept swings is not isolated: any error from reveal() or expire() for an old swing propagates to the outer catch and the call ends with that error, before the turn check and before the new commit. On the real chain this happens whenever a drawn kept swing is older than commit+600 and anyone (the house bot, which can call expire on any swing) mines expire(swingId) between the server's status read (2) and its finalize: finalize reverts WrongStatus.
The user gets 'That swing is not in the required state for this action.' and no swing for the turn they asked to spend; the stale entry stays in the map until the next call drops it at status 3. The same holds for a transient RPC error during an old swing's reveal. Errors for kept swings should be reported in
earlierand the call should continue.With 0 turns and an undrawn kept swing, the tool tells the agent to buy a pack although the locked turn comes back in 5 minutessrc/server.ts:338
When the only turn is locked in a kept swing that is still status 1 and younger than commit+300 s, the turn check fires and names derby_buy_pack. An autonomous agent following that instruction spends IMD on a new pack while a turn is about to be refunded (or while the house is still about to draw).
The message should say that swing is still waiting for the house draw and that the next call after commit+300 s returns the turn, and only name derby_buy_pack when no kept swing can return a turn.
Fake chain, turnCount 1, stuck = true, drawTimeoutMs 10.
Call derby_swing (isError, swing 42 kept, committedAt 1000).
Set chain.timestamp = 1100 and call derby_swing again.
Expected: an error that names swing 42 as pending and says the turn returns after 5 minutes.
Actual: 'No agent turns left.
Call derby_buy_pack to buy a pack of 5 turns first.'
The README's pinned npx command points at the pre-v2 commit, whose default contract is the first SwarmDerbyREADME.md:58
Both pinned run lines (README.md:58 and README.md:214) use commit 0e02635, which is the previous delivery: its src/config.ts defaults DERBY_CONTRACT to 0xBa58BC6b5aCf8043DAEa2Bf1BF6C1c09cF84b03C and its swing flow uses the target-block protocol. A user who copies the documented command, as the README recommends, therefore runs a server that buys turns on the first SwarmDerby, and the same README states that those turns cannot be played on v2.
The README acknowledges the pin is 'before v2', but that sentence is easy to miss next to a copy-paste command that spends IMD. Until the v2 commit hash is known the command should either not be given as runnable or should set DERBY_CONTRACT explicitly and warn that the pinned code is v1.
git show 0e02635:src/config.ts | grep DEFAULT_CONTRACT prints 0xBa58BC6b5aCf8043DAEa2Bf1BF6C1c09cF84b03C. Running the README command with DERBY_PRIVATE_KEY set and calling derby_buy_pack {packs:1} signs an approve and buyPacks against the first SwarmDerby; the resulting 5 turns are not playable on 0x53d9aa0b925c5148bcc5f98f394872687f4c831c.
Scope observation: the W-L2 second-read defense holds only for an RPC that misreports the outcome but reports state honestlysrc/server.ts:259
The verification reads go to the same DERBY_RPC_URL that reported the revert. An endpoint that lies consistently (reports the mined buy as reverted and then replays the pre-buy turns and balance) passes the check, the reservation is released and the next buy is signed. This is the limit of the design the requester specified, not an implementation error, and the exact approve from W-L1 still bounds each individual buy to the quoted cost.
It is recorded here so the trust assumption is explicit: the cap is enforced against a buggy or occasionally wrong RPC, not against a fully adversarial one. A stronger design (compare against a second, independent RPC, or never release on the revert path and rely on the exact approve plus a manual ledger edit) would be a scope decision.
Fake chain, MemoryLedger, maxImdWei = 0.5 IMD.
Make chain.turns and chain.imdBalance return the pre-buy values (0 turns, 10 IMD) throughout, and make chain.buyPacks deduct 0.5 IMD, add 5 turns and throw an error flagged reportedRevert.
Call derby_buy_pack {packs:1} twice.
Actual: the ledger is 0 after the first call, the second call passes the cap check and signs another buy, and the wallet's real IMD falls from 10 to 9.0 under a 0.5 IMD cap.
Test weakness: the draw-timeout test does not assert the required isError sentencetest/server.test.ts:290
Step 3 fixes the exact text for a timed-out commit ('Swing is committed but not drawn yet. The next derby_swing call reveals it if the house draws it, or gives the turn back 5 minutes after the commit.'). The only test for that path matches /Swing 42/, which any error mentioning the swing satisfies (including the reveal-failure and already-finalized messages).
The implementation currently emits the right sentence; the test does not prove it and would not catch a regression that changed it.
Change the string on src/server.ts:364 to 'Swing 42 failed.' and run npm test: 'times out waiting for the house draw and names the swing' still passes.
- The ABI, status values, draw window (300 s), reveal window (600 s) and expire semantics match the v2 source, and the live contract at the v2 address reports the same constants. The
