# Audit report

> Audit the code at exactly these repository-relative entry paths: ["src/ClausFreeDrawHook.sol"]. Review every contract declared in those files and follow their imports and runtime dependencies. These paths are the required review subjects even when they are outside contracts/src. Do not substitute a general repository audit or previously reviewed network infrastructure. Each specialist and the final judge must identify the entry files actually read, summarize their behavior and state any missing coverage. If an entry file cannot be read, report incomplete coverage instead of a clean review.

This is an Ethereum Claus native trade program, not a read-only module. Inspect quote and onTrade, exact receipt binding, duplicate delivery, caller checks, gas behavior, reentrancy, mutable proxies/dependencies, and all separate pool/fund actions. Treasury, user claims and existing liquidity are not delegated. Identify every privileged role and dependency that can change behavior after review. A completed review is evidence, not permission to install or spend. Check authorization, replay, expiry, recovery, dependency changes, custody and denial of service. Report concrete findings with locations, severity and reproductions. Distinguish verified properties from assumptions.

| Findings | 1 medium · 2 low · 4 info |

Four agents audited the code as it is at `d5b2824`, each in one area (math, permissions, economics, control flow),
and a judge reproduced, merged and ranked what they found, then read the code once more itself. Nothing in the repository was changed or deployed.

## Findings

### 1. Medium: retryRandomness leaves the original VRF request live, so two independent answers compete for one committed round and whichever is included first picks the winner

`src/ClausFreeDrawHook.sol:162`

```
        _requestRandom(r, round, msg.sender);
```

retryRandomness (line 158) calls _requestRandom, which registers a second request id for the same round (line 173) without retiring the first. rawFulfillRandomWords (lines 183-192) accepts the first answer that arrives for either id and silently discards the other (line 188). After an oracle delay of RANDOM_RETRY_DELAY (1 day) and one paid retry, two valid Chainlink outputs for the same frozen root can therefore exist, and the party that orders their inclusion (a block builder when both fulfillments are pending at once, as happens when the service resumes after an outage, or the VRF node itself) chooses between two winners. With two entrants, the chooser raises a favoured entrant's odds from 1/2 to 3/4. No proof forgery, root change, sponsor key or wrapper-caller bypass is needed; the retry is permissionless and costs one VRF fee. Chainlink documents re-requesting randomness for one commitment as unsafe for exactly this reason. Preconditions: an unanswered request for one day, a paid retry, and both fulfillments becoming available before either is included. Impact is bounded to the round's prize (0.1% of swap fees). The NatSpec (lines 27-28, 154-157) claims the retry 'cannot reroll a known result'; it cannot reroll a result already on chain, but it does allow selection among pending results. Simply rejecting the older id after a retry is not a safe fix either, because a retry could then front-run a visible unfavourable fulfillment. Fix options that keep the design: remove retryRandomness and let sweepExpired route an unanswered round's pot to RECIPIENT (or carry it to the next round); or allow a retry only after the original request is provably dead on the wrapper side (not observable on chain today); or restrict the retry so both answers are combined only when both have arrived, with the expiry path as fallback. This is a scope decision for the requester.

**Reproduction**

Scratch test test/scratch/Judge.t.sol::test_A_retryCreatesSecondLiveRequest_orderingPicksWinner (mocks etched at MANAGER, GOVERNANCE and VRF_WRAPPER; passes on current code). State: start(1, S); at S the approved adapter mints 0.002 ether of currency-0 claims to the hook and delivers a sell receipt (amount0 = 1 ether, feeEth = 0.023 ether, moduleFeeEth = 0.002 ether) so pendingPot = 0.000023 ether. Entrants A = 0xA11CE at index 0 and B = 0xB0B at index 1; root = keccak256(sorted(leaf(0,0,A), leaf(0,1,B))). At closesAt(0) SPONSOR calls seal(0, root, 2, 2) with the VRF fee; request id q1. Warp +1 day; anyone calls retryRandomness(0) with the fee; request id q2 != q1, and both ids map to round 0. Then, from VRF_WRAPPER: deliver rawFulfillRandomWords(q2, [11]) then rawFulfillRandomWords(q1, [10]): randomWord = 11, index = 1, settle(0, B, [leaf(0,0,A)]) succeeds, winner = B, and q1's answer is dropped. Revert state and deliver q1 first then q2: randomWord = 10, settle(0, A, [leaf(0,1,B)]) succeeds, winner = A. Expected: once a round is committed, the order in which valid oracle answers land cannot change the winner. Actual: the first-included answer selects the winner and the other is discarded.

### 2. Low: Winner can still settle and claim after claimDeadline, racing sweepExpired for the same prize

`src/ClausFreeDrawHook.sol:221`

```
        if (!round.settled || round.winner == address(0) || to == address(0)) revert NotReady();
```

NatSpec (lines 29-30, 118-119, 232-234) states that prizes still unpaid after the claim window return to RECIPIENT. sweepExpired (line 236) is gated on block.timestamp > claimDeadline(), but _claim (line 221, reached by claim and claimTo) and settle (line 197) have no deadline check. After claimDeadline both the pay path and the expire path are live for the same prize slot and whichever transaction lands first decides where the funds go. Only the winner and RECIPIENT are affected, and no third party can redirect funds, so this is a specification mismatch rather than a loss, but the written guarantee to RECIPIENT is not what the code enforces, and an unsettled round can still be settled and paid out after the deadline by anyone with the proof. Minimal fix that keeps the design: in _claim and settle add `if (block.timestamp > claimDeadline()) revert NotReady();`, or change the NatSpec to say late claims remain possible until a sweep lands.

**Reproduction**

Scratch tests test/scratch/Judge.t.sol::test_B_claimAfterDeadlineRacesSweep and test_B_settleAfterDeadline (pass on current code). State: campaign started; one sell receipt with feeEth = 1 ether delivered in round 0 (pendingPot = 0.001 ether); SPONSOR seals round 0 with count = 1 and root = leaf(0,0,W); VRF_WRAPPER delivers one word; settle(0, W, []) succeeds. Warp to claimDeadline() + 1. Expected per NatSpec: claim(0) reverts and sweepExpired(0) credits 0.001 ether to recipientAccrued. Actual: claim(0) succeeds and pays 0.001 ether to W, and the following sweepExpired(0) reverts AlreadyDone. Variant: leave the round unsettled past the deadline; settle(0, W, []) followed by claim(0) still pays W 0.001 ether.

### 3. Low: Inline fee collection in onTrade cannot succeed when receipts are delivered inside the PoolManager lock; it burns up to 150k gas once per hour and arms the backoff for a healthy recipient

`src/ClausFreeDrawHook.sol:300`

```
            try this.collectFees{gas:150_000}(pending) {} catch {
```

onTrade pushes the recipient share by calling this.collectFees, which runs _pay (line 318) and therefore IDrawManager(MANAGER).unlock (line 321). MANAGER is the Uniswap v4 PoolManager (code confirmed on mainnet), whose unlock reverts with AlreadyUnlocked whenever a lock is already open. The adapter must mint the ERC-6909 claims to the hook before calling onTrade (line 288), and minting is only possible inside the manager lock, so the natural delivery context for onTrade is inside the swap's unlock. In that context the nested unlock always reverts, the catch sets collectRetryAfter = now + 1 hour and emits CollectionDeferred, and one trader per hour pays for the dead attempt (the forwarded gas up to 150k plus the SSTORE and event). The comment on lines 295-297 describes a collection that cannot run in that context, and the CollectionDeferred event reports a healthy recipient as broken. No funds are lost: recipientAccrued and recipientCollected are untouched by the revert, and anyone can call collectFees from outside a lock. If the adapter delivers receipts outside the lock, the push works and this finding does not apply; the adapter is not in the repository, so the deployment context is unverified. Merged from three specialist reports of the same mechanism. Fix options that keep the design: skip the push when the manager is already unlocked (read the PoolManager Lock transient slot via exttload, or have the adapter pass a flag), settle with burn+take directly when already inside a lock, or drop the inline push and document collectFees as keeper-pulled.

**Reproduction**

Scratch test test/scratch/Judge.t.sol::test_C_inLockCollectAlwaysDefers_outOfLockCollects (passes on current code) against a mock manager that mirrors v4's single-lock unlock semantics (unlock reverts AlreadyUnlocked while a lock is open). State: campaign started, pending recipient share 0 and block.timestamp >= collectRetryAfter. Input: the approved adapter, from inside manager.unlock (adapter.unlockCallback mints 0.021 ether of currency-0 claims to the hook, then calls hook.onTrade), delivers a buy receipt with amount0 = -10 ether, feeEth = 0.23 ether, moduleFeeEth = 0.021 ether; pending becomes 0.02077 ether >= COLLECT_THRESHOLD. Expected per the comment: collectFees succeeds and RECIPIENT receives 0.02077 ether. Actual: the nested unlock reverts, RECIPIENT balance stays 0, recipientCollected stays 0, collectRetryAfter == block.timestamp + 1 hours. Delivering an identical receipt outside the lock one hour later pays RECIPIENT and sets recipientCollected == recipientAccrued.

### 4. Info: Minimum module-fee floor for buys is measured on \|amount0\| + feeEth, so a buy receipt whose moduleFeeEth is 0.2% of \|amount0\| alone is rejected

`src/ClausFreeDrawHook.sol:283`

```
        uint256 gross = trade.buy ? uint256(-int256(trade.amount0)) + trade.feeEth : uint256(int256(trade.amount0));
```

For buys the floor check at line 287 (`trade.moduleFeeEth < gross * 2_000 / 1_000_000`) uses gross = |amount0| + feeEth, while for sells gross = amount0. This is consistent only if the adapter computes the module fee on the user's full ETH input for buys (pool delta plus fee). If the adapter instead computes moduleFeeEth as 2_000 ppm of the pool delta |amount0| and charges the fee on top, every fee-bearing buy receipt reverts InvalidInput inside onTrade and, depending on how the adapter handles that revert, either every buy on the pool reverts or every buy receipt is silently dropped. The adapter is a governance-selected contract outside the repository, so this is an integration requirement to verify, not a defect in the hook's arithmetic. Fix only if the adapter's convention differs: use |amount0| as the floor base on both sides, or document that moduleFeeEth must be computed on |amount0| + feeEth for buys.

**Reproduction**

Scratch test test/scratch/Judge.t.sol::test_D_buyFloorIncludesFee (passes on current code). State: campaign started, 0.002 ether of claims minted to the hook. Input from the approved adapter: buy, amount0 = -1 ether, feeEth = 0.023 ether, moduleFeeEth = 0.002 ether (0.2% of |amount0|). Expected under a fee-on-top convention: accepted. Actual: gross = 1.023 ether, floor = 1.023e18 * 2000 / 1e6 = 2_046_000_000_000_000 wei > 2_000_000_000_000_000, onTrade reverts InvalidInput. The same module fee with amount0 = -0.977 ether (fee carved from a 1 ether input) is accepted.

### 5. Info: Backing check counts the current receipt's module fee, so the adapter must mint the ERC-6909 claims to the hook before calling onTrade

`src/ClausFreeDrawHook.sol:288`

```
        if (reserveClaims() < recipientAccrued-recipientCollected + prizeAccrued-prizePaid + trade.moduleFeeEth) revert InsufficientBacking();
```

The check adds trade.moduleFeeEth to the outstanding liabilities and compares against the hook's currency-0 claim balance at MANAGER, so it passes only if this receipt's claims are already held when onTrade executes. An adapter that mints after onTrade returns would see every receipt with a non-zero module fee revert InsufficientBacking; if it swallows the revert, the later-minted claims sit on the hook with no accrual that can release them (collectFees and _claim only pay recorded accruals). The adapter is outside the repository, so this ordering could not be verified. Confirm against the adapter at GOVERNANCE.adapterFor(hook) that it mints to the hook before invoking onTrade. Verified in this review: once the order is mint-then-onTrade, reserveClaims() >= outstanding holds on every path, and the hook never grants ERC-6909 allowance or operator status, so third parties cannot remove the claims.

**Reproduction**

Scratch test test/scratch/Judge.t.sol::test_E_mintBeforeOnTrade (passes on current code). State: campaign started, hook claim balance 0. Input from the approved adapter: buy, amount0 = -1 ether, feeEth = 0.023 ether, moduleFeeEth = 0.0021 ether. Expected if claims were minted first: accepted. Actual with no prior mint: reverts InsufficientBacking. Minting 0.0021 ether of currency-0 claims to the hook and resubmitting the same receipt succeeds.

### 6. Info: Receipt replay guard is keyed by adapter address, so after GOVERNANCE rotates the adapter already-delivered trade ids are accepted again

`src/ClausFreeDrawHook.sol:281`

```
        if (trade.module != msg.sender || received[msg.sender][trade.id] || trade.dataHash != keccak256(data) || trade.timestamp > block.timestamp) revert InvalidInput();
```

received[msg.sender][trade.id] is scoped to the calling adapter. GOVERNANCE (a live contract at 0x180e..., read at every onTrade on line 280) decides adapterFor(hook) and approvedAdapter. If it points the hook at a new adapter, that adapter starts a fresh id space and can deliver the same ids again. The backing check on line 288 means a second accrual only succeeds if real claims cover it, so no phantom value is created and funds still leave only to RECIPIENT or a Merkle-proven winner; the effect is that the prize/recipient split is applied to whatever the new adapter reports, including re-reported history. This requires a governance action plus a misbehaving adapter, so it is a dependency-change risk to record, not a bypass. Fix only if ids are meant to be globally unique: key received by trade.id alone.

**Reproduction**

Scratch test test/scratch/Judge.t.sol::test_F_replayAcrossAdapterRotation (passes on current code). State: adapter A delivered trade id 1 (received[A][1] = true); resubmitting from A reverts InvalidInput. Governance sets adapterFor(hook) = B and approvedAdapter(B) = true; B mints claims and delivers the same Trade with id 1 and module = B. Expected if ids are globally unique receipts: InvalidInput. Actual: accepted, pendingPot doubles, received[B][1] = true; A then reverts Unauthorized.

### 7. Info: Trust assumptions and mutable dependencies: SPONSOR controls entrant lists and seal timing, GOVERNANCE controls receipt delivery, the Chainlink VRF wrapper is owner-configurable; no owner, pause or up

`src/ClausFreeDrawHook.sol:130`

```
    function seal(uint256 r, bytes32 root, uint32 count, bytes32 snapshotHash) external payable onlySponsor {
```

Privileged roles and dependencies that can change outcomes after review, reported as trust assumptions because each is an intended role (NatSpec lines 25-26 states admission relies on the collector). (1) SPONSOR (constant, EOA on mainnet): sole caller of start and seal. Nothing on chain checks root, count or snapshotHash, there is no per-round seal window other than the global sealDeadline, and every receipt delivered before a seal lands in pendingPot, which the next non-empty seal takes in full (line 146). The sponsor can therefore let rounds elapse, seal one round with count = 1 naming any address, and that address wins the whole accumulated pot; it can also publish a count larger than the tree so some indices are unwinnable, which routes that round's prize to RECIPIENT via sweepExpired. (2) GOVERNANCE (constant, has code on mainnet): adapterFor and approvedAdapter are read live at every onTrade (line 280), so governance can re-point receipt delivery to a new adapter at any time; a new adapter cannot extract funds (every receipt must be backed by claims already minted to the hook, and funds leave only to RECIPIENT or a Merkle-proven winner) but it decides which fees reach the pot and with what timestamps. (3) VRF_WRAPPER (constant; confirmed on mainnet as VRFV2PlusWrapper 1.0.0, s_disabled = false, owned by 0xcc4b...950D): calculateRequestPriceNative and requestRandomWordsInNative are gated by onlyConfiguredNotDisabled and priced from wrapper config and tx.gasprice. If the wrapper is disabled or repriced, seal() with count > 0 reverts for the rest of the campaign; the sponsor can only seal empty rounds, after which _assignFinalPot gives the remaining pot to the last eligible round (before claimDeadline) or to RECIPIENT. Funds are never stuck. (4) MANAGER (Uniswap v4 PoolManager, code confirmed) and RECIPIENT (EOA) are constants with no setter; the hook has no owner, pause, upgrade or arbitrary withdraw. Verified in this review: onTrade caller binding to the governance-approved adapter, receipt binding (module, id, dataHash, timestamp), duplicate-delivery rejection per adapter, unlockCallback and rawFulfillRandomWords caller checks, state-before-payout plus the _payment flag against reentrancy, Merkle leaves domain-separated by chainid, hook address, round and index with distinct leaf/node hash widths, and the accounting invariant reserveClaims() >= (recipientAccrued - recipientCollected) + (prizeAccrued - prizePaid) across all writers.

**Reproduction**

Scratch tests test/scratch/Judge.t.sol::test_G_sponsorPicksSoleEntrant and test_H_vrfDisabledBlocksSeal (pass on current code). (G) State: campaign started, one sell receipt with feeEth = 2.3 ether delivered (pendingPot = 0.0023 ether). At closesAt(0) SPONSOR calls seal(0, leaf(0,0,SPONSOR), 1, 2) paying the VRF fee; VRF_WRAPPER delivers any word; anyone calls settle(0, SPONSOR, []) then claim(0). Expected under the documented trust model: allowed. Actual: SPONSOR receives 0.0023 ether. (H) State: same receipt delivered, wrapper disabled. Input: SPONSOR calls seal(0, root, 1, hash) with the fee. Expected: a draw. Actual: calculateRequestPriceNative reverts and seal reverts; seal(0, 0, 0, hash) succeeds and pendingPot (0.0023 ether) carries forward. Governance re-pointing is shown in test_F_replayAcrossAdapterRotation.
