Once a code-less sink (EOA, typo, counterfactual or failed-deploy address) is applied, the platform's 5% of every future fee is unrecoverable for the life of the contract. proposeSink only checks bps and the zero pairing, never address(sink).code.length, and the 2-day delay does not surface the mistake because applySink succeeds while nothing is owed.

The three attached proofs all fail on this tree for exactly the reason their findings state, confirmed by traces, and they are attached to the three most severe findings.\n\n**What is in `.imd-findings.json`:**\n\n- **Medium.** A rewards sink with no code locks the platform share forever. The extcodesize pre-check reverts in Briefs' own frame, outside the try/catch, so both withdrawPlatform and applySink revert whenever anything is owed. Proof attached.\n- **Low.** A requester whose fee() returns malformed data is not caught by the quote try/catch and freezes every case on that setup: no mistrial, no skip, no settlement. Reachable only with an owner-proposed non-conforming requester, not the shipped adapter. Proof attached.\n- **Low.** setTreasury accepts Briefs itself, after which case fees and the platform share become permanently stranded surplus. Merged from two specialists. Proof attached.\n- **Low.** Nobody can pin the oracle setup they accepted. Permissionless applyOracle can land ahead of openCase in the same block, and useLatestOracle can land ahead of the first filer. Merged two findings that shared this root cause.\n- **Low.** BriefsText still accepts 14 angle-bracket look-alikes and ASCII `<<` `>>`. All 14 code points verified to pass and to land verbatim in the jury's request.\n- **Info, five items.** skipStalled discards up to 16 price-skip refunds and reverts (merged from two). Filing while the price exceeds the reserve pulls and refunds the fee in one transaction. Plaintext filing lets whoever is sequenced first own the words, downgraded to info because Robinhood Chain has no public mempool.

The owner-held setup trust assumption, with the live state confirmed by RPC reads: one EOA owns all three contracts, no pending owner, treasury is an EOA.

The findings file is written and every quoted line matches the tree.\n\n**Outcome:** no critical, high or medium defect in Briefs, BriefsJury, BriefsText, ImdGatewayRequester or ImdOracle. The exact solvency invariant, the oracle binding, the mistrial and stall clocks, the gas forwarding and the text rules all held up under tracing and experiments. I wrote 5 findings, two low and three info, to `.imd-findings.json`.\n\n**What I checked and confirmed sound**\n- Funds: every IMD movement maps to exactly one liability term. Escrow, verdict split, mistrial refund, unheard refund, settlement, creator claims and the capped sink all conserve balance. The hearing self-call rolls back a greedy or failing requester atomically. No path takes, misroutes or locks user funds with a plain token (the blacklist case is already documented as accepted).\n- Oracle path: the questionHash is rebuilt from stored texts and the hearing's own precedent, delivery is keyed on the Intake's request id in the Intake's own slot, the window and panel are checked, and the EIP-712 digest is confirmed against live signatures. I verified that adding a requestId equality check would be wrong, since the Intake's keccak id and IMD's UUID differ by design.\n- Liveness: from any state one of hear, mistrial, skipStalled or settle progresses. The stall clock belongs to the head brief and resets on open or skip, and the leader cannot fake a stall with gas: the pre-call check guarantees the full hearing gas reaches the requester.\n- Live chain: the deployed config matches the script, the one live hearing went end to end through the Intake and settled, and the on-chain balance equals the platform owed to the wei. The live Intake accepts the largest possible 2,832-byte body at about 156k gas, so the 3M hearing gas has a wide margin and the \"poison brief that always stalls\" lead is dead.\n- Text rules: the UTF-8 decoder, forbidden ranges and whitespace rules are correct, the question stays valid JSON, and the longest question is 1,649 bytes at the live 500-byte brief cap.\n\n**Findings**\n1. Low: `setTreasury` and the constructor accept Briefs' own address. The platform share then zeroes itself on withdrawal and every caseFee lands inside the contract, unrecoverable. Proof in `test/scratch/TreasurySelf.t.sol` fails today and passes with a one-line guard.\n2. Low: `useLatestOracle` can land just ahead of a case's first `fileBrief`, so the first entrant is heard under a setup they never saw. Suggested fix is an expected oracle id argument on filing.\n3. Info: `skipStalled` reverts and discards up to 16 price-skip refunds when the quote is above reserve. `hear()` commits them, so no funds are stuck.\n4.

Anyone who sees a pending brief and lands the same words one slot earlier becomes the precedent, and the author's own words are then judged a reused answer. Kept low because Robinhood Chain has a private sequencer mempool. Reproduced in a scratch test: the copier wins the pot.\n- **Info, filing under an over-reserve price.** A brief filed while IMD's price exceeds the case reserve is accepted, its fee pulled, then skipped and refunded as Unheard in the same transaction. Accounting stays exact. The filer gets no signal and pays gas for nothing. Reproduced.\n- **Info, stale comments.** The Briefs header and deploy notes say parameters reach \"new hearings\", but panel, quorum and timeout are fixed per case at creation. The existing test asserts the per-case behaviour.\n\n**What held up under attack**\n\n- Solvency: every path that moves IMD (split, mistrial refund, skip refund, settle, creator claim, platform withdraw, sink) keeps balance equal to liabilities. Fee always exceeds reserve, so the split can never underflow.\n- Oracle binding: questionHash rebuilt on chain, delivery slot keyed by the Intake's address and the hearing's own request id, window, panel, and the jury-addressed EIP-712 domain. Answer shopping through the Intake with the same question text is refused.\n- Gas: a fine scan at 256-gas steps from 3.1M to 3.4M found no amount that fakes a stall. Every call either reverts with OutOfGas or opens the hearing.\n- Stall clock: the clock cannot be inherited across briefs, since a price skip and a stall cannot occur for different briefs in one loop.\n- Admin: no owner path reaches pots, escrow or creator earnings. Jury and sink changes sit behind their delays.\n\n**Not covered**\n\n- Anything requiring the live chain: whether the deployed BriefsJury is bound to the deployed Briefs, whether setClient was called, and whether IMD's canonical JSON keeps non-ASCII unescaped. The suite pins the hash formula against live attestations only by signature, not by rebuilding a question from text.\n- The opening brief enters every question without a hearing.

The findings file holds four substantiated items, all low or informational. I found no way to take, lock or misroute funds, break the solvency identity, stall a case permanently, or land an answer for the wrong hearing.\n\n**What I checked, in depth**\n\n- **Funds and solvency.** Every IMD path: seed, case fee, escrowed entry fee, the jury price leaving in `openHearing`, the split on a verdict, the refund on a mistrial, the full refund on a skip, settlement, creator claims, the platform share and the rewards sink. All writers of pot, creatorOwed, platformOwed and head are symmetric with their readers. The live contract confirms it: its balance equals platformOwed to the wei after one full case cycle, so the bridged IMD is a plain ERC20.\n- **Oracle path.** The questionHash is rebuilt from stored texts plus the jury address and brief id, so an answer binds to exactly one hearing. Delivery is keyed by the Intake's address and the hearing's own request id, and I verified on chain that the Intake's `complete` is writer-only, so nobody can poison a delivery slot. The live verdict recovered the attester under the jury's consumer domain and landed 67 seconds after the hearing opened.\n- **Leader griefing and gas.** The 64/63 check runs after the request JSON is built, so no caller gas choice fakes a stall; I traced the margin at 3M and 10M hearingGas. `skipStalled` only fires on a failure that happens inside the same call, and the stall clock resets on every head advance. The remaining leader races are the documented ones.\n- **Admin bounds.** Two-step ownership, 7-day oracle delay, 2-day sink delay, per-case terms frozen at creation, no rescue functions.\n- **Text rules.** `check` rejects everything that could break the JSON string or the canonical hash; the longest question is 1,864 bytes.\n\n**Findings written**\n\n1. **Low.** `BriefsText.check` still accepts fourteen angle-bracket look-alikes and plain ASCII `<<` `>>`, so the delimiter-forgery defense the internal review lists as fixed is incomplete.\n2. **Low.** `setTreasury` accepts Briefs itself, after which case fees and the platform share become permanently locked surplus with no sweep.\n3. **Info.** On the live chain a single EOA owns all three contracts, and every new case auto-adopts the latest oracle setup, so one key compromise reaches all future pots after the 7-day delay.\n4. **Info.** The deploy script says panel and timeout changes reach new hearings, but they are fixed per case, so a running 90-day case cannot be rescued if IMD's latency grows past 4 minutes.\n\n**Leads I could not substantiate and did not report**\n\n- If IMD's server normalized Unicode (NFC) or otherwise touched the question text, hashes for non-ASCII briefs would mismatch. The live verdict used ASCII, so this stays unverified.\n- Sequencer timestamp drift against IMD's `issuedAt` could trip the 4-minute window. The live margin was about 3 minutes.\n- A leader whose precedent text makes the panel unable to answer keeps the lead at 0.5 IMD cost per challenger. That is the game's design and needs no contract change.\n\nThe scratch tests under `test/scratch/` were removed. No source file was changed.","treeHash":null,"usage":{"cachedInputTokens":2071308,"inputTokens":386,"model":"claude-fable-5-1","outputTokens":71686,"runtime":"claude","turns":41,"wallClockMs":1087859}},{"artifacts":[],"attempt":1,"bundleHash":null,"device":"e764f15311426447","findings":[{"citation":"resolved","description":"_withdrawPlatform relies on `try sink.notifyReward{gas: SINK_GAS}(toRewards) {} catch {}` so that, as the comment above it promises, \"a bad sink can never lock the platform's share or block its own replacement\". That promise does not hold for a sink address that has no code. notifyReward returns nothing, so Solidity 0.8.30 emits an extcodesize check before the CALL; when the target has no code that check reverts in Briefs' own frame, before the external call, and a try/catch only covers reverts raised inside the callee. withdrawPlatform() therefore reverts with empty data. applySink() calls _withdrawPlatform() first (\"everything accrued before is first paid out under the old routing\"), so it reverts the same way whenever platformOwed is non-zero, and platformOwed can only decrease through _withdrawPlatform. rewardsSink is written nowhere else, cancelSink only clears the pending proposal, and every later verdict adds to platformOwed, so once a code-less sink is applied with any share owed the platform's 5% of every fee is unrecoverable for the life of the contract. proposeSink only checks `bps` and the zero-address/zero-bps pairing; it never checks `address(sink).code.length`, so a typo, an EOA, a counterfactual address or a sink whose deployment transaction failed all pass, and the 2-day delay does not surface the mistake because applySink succeeds while nothing is owed yet. Pots, escrow and creator earnings are unaffected (solvency holds), but the platform's entire future revenue is locked. Fix: treat a code-less sink as broken (`toRewards = 0` when `address(rewardsSink).code.length == 0`, or make the sink call a low-level `call` whose failure is simply ignored) and/or refuse a code-less sink in proposeSink.

Reachability: the setup's requester is chosen by the jury owner behind a 7-day delay, and _check only probes answerSource(), not fee(). With the shipped ImdGatewayRequester the Intake's priceOf is decoded by the adapter itself, so a malformed Intake reply reverts the adapter and is caught; the freeze needs a directly-proposed requester (a relay, a mock, a future adapter) whose fee() can return malformed data, for example after an upgrade.

Oracle setups are append-only and new cases bind to jury.latest(). The owner can propose a setup whose signer key they hold and whose requester is a contract of theirs (any contract answering answerSource() passes _check); seven days later anyone applies it, and every case opened afterwards accepts attestations signed by that key for any questionHash it computes, so the owner can enter any such case and sign 'true' for their own brief and 'false' for everyone else's, taking every pot seeded by other creators. Conversely a leaked IMD attester key stays authoritative for every running case on the old setup (the internal review lists this as Info). Both are bounded by the public 7-day delay, the 7-day apply window, two-step ownership and the fact that a case's setup is fixed at opening. Mitigations if desired: a per-setup revocation flag checked in verdict() (ends affected hearings in mistrials rather than forged verdicts), and the creator-pinned oracle id from the previous finding.","line":119,"path":"src/BriefsJury.sol","reproduction":"Owner: proposeOracle({signer: ownerKey, requester: ownerRequester, domain: 0, chainId: 1, hearingGas: 3M}); after 7 days anyone: applyOracle().

The findings file is at `.imd-findings.json` with five entries, two of them carrying Foundry proofs under `test/scratch/`. The source tree is unchanged and the project's own 118 tests still pass.\n\n**What I found**\n\n- **Medium, `src/Briefs.sol:687`.** A rewards sink with no code locks the platform share permanently. The `try sink.notifyReward{gas}` guard does not cover Solidity's extcodesize pre-check, which reverts in Briefs' own frame. Both `withdrawPlatform` and `applySink` revert forever once anything is owed, so the sink can't even be replaced, contradicting the comment that a bad sink can never lock the share. Proof: `test/scratch/CodelessSink.t.sol` fails today and passes with a one-line fix I tried and then reverted.\n- **Low, `src/Briefs.sol:699`.** Same root cause in `_tryQuote`: a requester whose `fee()` returns short data is not caught, and since `_hearNext` runs at the end of `mistrial`, `hear`, `fulfill` and `skipStalled`, the whole case freezes with its pot and escrow. Only reachable through an owner-proposed requester, as the shipped adapter decodes the Intake's reply itself. Proof: `test/scratch/ShortQuote.t.sol`.\n- **Low, `src/Briefs.sol:554`.** `openCase` cannot pin the oracle setup and `applyOracle` is permissionless, so a case can land on a setup the creator never inspected.\n- **Info.** `skipStalled` reverts and rolls back its refunds when 16 or more price-skips precede the stalled brief; `hear` must be called first. And a documented trust assumption: the jury owner's delayed oracle setups decide verdicts of all later cases.\n\n**What held up under review**\n\nThe solvency invariant, the fee split and its rounding, the escrow and refund paths, reentrancy coverage, the question-hash rebuild, the delivery binding through the Intake, the answer window and panel checks, the EIP-712 domain, the mistrial and stall clocks, the 64/63 gas check, and `BriefsText.check` all behaved as documented in the paths I traced and probed. The longest possible question is 1,922 bytes even with a maximal brief id, under IMD's 2,000 limit.\n\n**Not verifiable offline**\n\nWhether IMD's server hashes the question byte-for-byte as the contract does, the consumer-bound EIP-712 domain, and `hearingGas` sizing against the live Intake all depend on IMD's off-chain behaviour; the internal audit already lists them as must-confirm items, and I have no new evidence either way.","treeHash":null,"usage":{"cachedInputTokens":4089008,"inputTokens":578,"model":"claude-fable-5-1","outputTokens":84356,"runtime":"claude","turns":50,"wallClockMs":1276851}}],"verification":[]}
