## Summary

The headline target — the unreviewed, not-yet-fork-tested tail roll in `afbf33d` ("NEEDS RAPHA DOUBLE REVIEW") — **holds under source review**: the reserve is solvent by construction, the cancel-first ordering makes the `min(owed, free)` clamp dead code, the six mirrored rung patches are mechanically identical modulo x/y naming, and the position lifecycle (settle-proceeds delete + early-return withdraw) does not double-count. That verification is the bulk of this report, because it is the review the commit asks for.

New observations, none fund-critical:

| # | Severity | Title |
|---|----------|-------|
| 1 | Low | Rung: tail-roll reserve strands floor dust in `reserved-sats`/`reserved-ustx` forever |
| 2 | Info | Rung F-7 sharpened: donated sats keep a memberless rung's market order alive; its fills' STX is locked permanently (no sweep exists) |
| 3 | Info | Market: `filter-small-*`'s 0.2% share test runs against a shrinking denominator — the floor is list-order-dependent |
| 4 | Info | Market: `settle-token-*-readmit` does not re-check the deposit minimum — consistent with the `08a9ef8` admission doctrine, flagged for a decision |

Sections 5-8 verify the recent fixes (`99457e8`, `dd2a117`, `f231e51`, F-6 hardening), document the tail-roll solvency argument, and list what was checked and not broken.

## 1. Low — tail-roll reserve strands floor dust forever

**Where.** `contracts/jing-buy-stx.clar` (and its five mirrors): `roll-tail` lines 508-538, `settle-proceeds` lines 540-575, `reserved-sats` var line 124, `sync` line 255.

**What.** At a tail roll the closing epoch's unsold share is reserved as one amount:

```
reserve = min(owed, free)          ;; owed = floor(total-shares * fi / SCALE)
(var-set reserved-sats (+ (var-get reserved-sats) reserve))
```

Each old-epoch member later claims `back = floor(shares_i * fi / SCALE)` (line 551), and `reserved-sats` is decremented by exactly `back` (line 568). The sum of the per-member floors is strictly less than `owed` whenever the epoch has more than one member — up to one sat (or micro-STX on the sell side) per member. Nothing ever releases the difference: `sync` excludes `reserved-sats` from the pool (`local = balance - reserved-sats`, line 255), no sweep function touches it, and every later tail roll only adds. The dust is neither poolable nor claimable; it is locked in the contract for its lifetime and grows by up to (members - 1) units per tail roll.

**Repro.**
1. Two members join a buy rung; fills drop `unfilled-index` below `MINT_FLOOR`.
2. A deposit triggers `roll-tail`: `reserved-sats += floor(total-shares * fi / SCALE)`.
3. Both members withdraw. Each receives `floor(shares_i * fi / SCALE)`; `reserved-sats` is left with `owed - back_1 - back_2` (0, 1, or 2 sats here; up to N-1 for N members).
4. No call can move the remainder. `sync` keeps it out of the pool permanently.

**Fix.** Track the reserve per closed epoch (`epoch-reserve: uint -> uint`) and, when `settle-proceeds` deletes the last position of a closed epoch, release that epoch's remainder into `held-sats`. Cheaper alternative: accept the loss explicitly in the README (it is bounded by N-1 units per rolled epoch) and add a permissionless `sweep-reserve-dust` callable once a rolled epoch has no remaining positions.

## 2. Info — F-7 sharpened: excess sats are unowned; a memberless rung's order can stay live and its fills' STX locks permanently

**Where.** `jing-buy-stx.clar`: `sync` shares==0 branch (lines 263-268), mint `shares = amount * SCALE / unfilled-index` (line 320), `pull-to-held-sats` cancel-vs-partial branch (lines 618-645).

**What.** Rapha's open F-7 ("proceeds absorbed while a rung has no members") is reachable and the lock is permanent, not just unattributeable:

- `sync` only lowers `unfilled-index` on a shortfall; an **excess** of actual sats over `floor(total-shares * fi / SCALE)` is never indexed. sBTC transfers in are permissionless, so anyone can create this excess (donation), and floor rounding creates a micro-excess continuously.
- Member claims are exactly `shares_i * fi / SCALE`; the excess belongs to no one. The last member's withdraw pulls `gap = mine - held-sats` from the market and cancels the rest **only when the remainder would sit under the market minimum** (lines 627-645). A donated excess pushed into the market order by an earlier deposit makes `on-market - gap >= min-market` reachable, so the rung's order **stays live with zero members**.
- When that order fills, STX arrives while `total-shares == 0`; the `sync` shares==0 branch sets `stx-accounted = stx-now` (lines 264-266), so the proceeds are watermarked away and can never be claimed. There is no sweep: the STX and the remaining excess sats are locked in the contract forever.

**Repro.**
1. Rung has members and a live market order. Griefer (or accident) transfers sats to the rung — excess is unindexed.
2. A member deposit pushes `held-sats + amount` to the market, carrying the excess into the order.
3. All members withdraw; the last withdraw leaves `>= min-market` resting (the excess covers it).
4. Settlement fills the resting order. STX lands with zero members; `sync` absorbs it. No function can recover it.

**Fix.** In the `sync` shares==0 branch, forward `gained` STX (and on the sell side, the symmetric excess) to the ladder treasury instead of the watermark; alternatively add an owner/pool `sweep` gated on `total-shares == 0`. Note the same excess-sats lock exists without donations via floor dust, but at negligible size — the donation path is what makes it worth a sweep.

## 3. Info — `filter-small-*` share test uses a shrinking denominator

**Where.** `markets-sbtc-stx-jing-v6-3.clar` lines 2347-2394 (y) / 2395-2442 (x), invoked by `map` at lines 3361-3362 during `execute-settlement`.

**What.** The 0.2%-of-side floor (`MIN_SHARE_BPS u20`) is evaluated per depositor as `amount * BPS < total-token-y * MIN_SHARE_BPS`, but `total-token-y` is re-read from the map **after earlier iterations have already subtracted rolled-out depositors**. The same deposit can be kept or rolled depending on its position in the insertion-ordered list: tested early it is compared against the full side; tested late, against a smaller side, so it passes more easily. Consequences are bounded (the boundary case is a 0.2%-of-side maker participating in, or sitting out, one settlement), but the floor is not the invariant it reads as, and an integrator sizing orders against `MIN_SHARE_BPS` can be surprised in both directions.

**Fix.** Snapshot `total-token-y`/`total-token-x` once before the two `map` passes (after `filter-limit-violating-*`, which legitimately changes the side) and test every depositor against the snapshot.

## 4. Info — `settle-token-*-readmit` does not re-check the deposit minimum

**Where.** Lines 1885-1939 (y) / 1954-2008 (x).

**What.** Every admission path since `08a9ef8` enforces the current minimum at entry (`deposit-token-*` lines 1288 and 1518, `swap` line 2635, partial `withdraw-token-*` lines 1797/1847). The readmit path re-adds a parked order with no minimum test. The only way to be parked under the *current* minimum is an owner raising the minimum after the park, so this is narrow — and it is arguably **consistent** with the `08a9ef8` doctrine that admission-time checks govern a position for its lifetime (settle places what submit admitted; readmit restores what deposit admitted). Flagged so the doctrine is stated rather than accidental: if readmission is a fresh admission, add `(asserts! (>= amount (var-get min-token-*-deposit)) ERR_DEPOSIT_TOO_SMALL)`; if it is a restoration, a one-line comment saying so closes the question.

## 5. The `afbf33d` tail roll holds: verification notes

The commit asks for a second review before deploy. Summary of the argument; all line numbers from `jing-buy-stx.clar` at `afbf33d`.

**Solvency of the reserve.** `deposit` runs `sync` first (line 311). On a shortfall, `sync` sets `fi_new = floor(fi_old * actual / recorded)` (lines 270-275), so after any sync, `owed = floor(total-shares * fi / SCALE) <= actual = market-size + local` (two floors can only decrease the left side). `roll-tail` cancels the market order first when `market-size > 0` (lines 510-516) and `market-size` includes live + parked + pending (lines 201-220); the market's `cancel-token-x-deposit` returns live + parked + pending exactly (market lines 1697-1770). The post-cancel `free = balance - reserved-sats` therefore equals `actual`, and `reserve = min(owed, free) = owed` always: the `min` is dead-code defense, and the `reserved-sats - back` subtraction in `settle-proceeds` cannot underflow through this path. The sold-out seam is disjoint: `sync` closes the epoch itself when `new-index < SOLD_OUT_INDEX` (1e-6, dust gift documented), while `roll-tail` covers `[SOLD_OUT_INDEX, MINT_FLOOR)` — the two close paths never both fire, because `sync`'s close resets `unfilled-index` to `SCALE`.

**Lifecycle.** Old-epoch positions are deleted by `settle-proceeds` after paying `owed + back`; `withdraw` then early-returns `(ok paid)` (line 400), which is consistent because `roll-tail` already zeroed `total-shares`. A re-depositing old member is settled first (line 316) and mints into the fresh epoch. No double-count found.

**Mirrors.** The six rung patches at `afbf33d` were diffed mechanically: buy vs sell differ only in the expected x/y, sats/ustx, SBTC/WSTX, `stx-transfer?`/`contract-call? transfer` naming; the three buy variants and three sell variants are byte-identical patches. Side references are correct everywhere (buy rungs cancel/read token-x, sell rungs token-y; `market-size` reads the matching side).

**24h rule.** The F-6 hardening `(>= stacks-block-time (+ submitted-at u86400))` is present in all six rungs' `settle-escrow`.

## 6. Recent market fixes verified

- **`99457e8` (stale pending limit).** `settle-token-*-limit` (lines 2048-2132/2133-2178) refuses `"gone"` when the maker holds neither live nor parked funds, and `cancel-token-*-deposit` clears pending limits and readmits unconditionally. The pre-fix sequence (cancel leaving an orphan pending limit that a third party later settles over a new order) now fails at the `gone` check.
- **`dd2a117` (switched-off ask).** `settle-token-x-deposit` refunds `(and new-maker full (is-eq ask MAX_UINT))` (lines 1563-1573), mirroring the y-side `bid u0` case.
- **`f231e51` (router edge bins).** The DLMM depth walk stops advancing at bin ±500 and counts the edge bin once; no out-of-range read.
- **Escrow accounting across settle/cancel/withdraw.** Settle deletes pending before acting; every error after that either refunds `amount` exactly (crossing, queue-full from park or core) or reverts the whole call (any non-`u1010` error, including log failures). `park-tenth-*` filters the bumped maker from the stored list before core appends, so the `as-max-len?` in core's normal branch cannot fire on the settle path. `cancel` refunds pending + parked + live exactly and clears all four metadata maps. Partial `withdraw-token-*` enforces `remaining >= min` and adjusts totals only for the live branch (parked was already out of totals). Core-v6 `log-refund-*`/`log-pending-refund-*`/`log-withdraw-*` carry no pause check, so cancel and partial withdraw work while paused — the documented recovery design.
- **Settlement pipeline.** `execute-settlement` enforces freshness (80s), confidence (`conf < price / MAX_CONF_RATIO`), exponent match, and a single clearing price; `filter-limit-violating-*` rolls non-participating makers; `distribute-*` floors per-depositor and `roll-and-sweep-dust` sends the aggregate dust to treasury; next-cycle totals are migrated additively, consistent with the earlier `filter-small`/`filter-limit-violating` migrations. The taker rebate is charged on the full input up front, consumed per fill at `traded * bps` capped by the pending amount, and the leftover is refunded in `cross-remainder-as-*`; `pending-rebate-bps-*` retaining its value after a swap is safe because the per-fill rebate is capped by `pending-rebate-*`, which is zero between swaps. `ERR_PARTIAL_FILL` and `ERR_TAKER_TOO_SMALL` revert atomically. Third-party `settle-with-refresh` with zero pending rebates computes zero rebates.
- **Ladder/dispatch.** `jing-ladder-v1.clar` is unchanged since kosinski's 9/22 clean pass at `6bf0470`; dispatch's only later change carries an optional Lazer update through exits (`c018402`), and kosinski's atomicity/budget analysis still applies.
- **Swap vaults (juicestx `20fb4f1`, fastpool `97712fb`, citycoins `b6206f1`).** The three head commits are the same fix; the sliver-cooldown attack is closed by sizing permissionless `router-swap` at `min(balance, max-chunk-sats)`. Recovery is cancel-first with no oracle or pause dependency (`emergency-recover` at +432 burn blocks, permissionless `jing-reclaim` after the window). `current-mid` cross-checks Lazer against DIA within `dia-band-bps`. Reviewed and not broken further: placement/refloor timing griefs are bounded by the permissionless reclaim and were the substance of rejected F-2; the `DUST_SATS` emptiness tolerance is documented and bounded at 2 sats.

## 7. Not broken, checked

- Rounding direction in `execute-fill` (all floors favor the contract side; maker dust refund keeps the book clean).
- Self-match exclusion in both walk steps; under-minimum makers skipped in walks.
- `prune-cycles` can only delete cycles older than current, which settlement has already drained.
- `initialize`, owner setters, and `set-operator` gating (operator + core-v6 owner double check at init).
- `get-taker-capacity` read-only preview math (no state).
- `refresh-mid` is a pure read-through of `fresh-classification-price` with no stored state.
- `deposit-token-*` direct-vs-pending branch: opposite-side-empty direct placement cannot create a pending escrow that outlives its cycle.
- Cycle rollover: pending deposits settle into the cycle current at settle time, with `submitted-at` still enforced against the oracle print.

## 8. What I could not run

No clarinet/stxer fork was executed from this side; the repro sequences above are source-derived call sequences. Rapha's own fork harnesses (`simulations/verify-v6-3-*`, `tests/rv/v6-3`) cover the market pipeline and the pre-tail-roll rungs; the tail roll itself is explicitly not fork-tested yet — sections 1, 2 and 5 are the places a fork run would either confirm or refute fastest: roll-tail with 2+ members (dust remainder), donate-then-exit (F-7 lock), and a full member exit with the last withdraw near the market minimum.
