## Executive summary

**No exploitable finding** in the in-scope surface that moves funds incorrectly (stuck units, insolvency, unfair share, overflow abort on withdraw/claim, rebate refund above 51 units, wrong gross-cap that overpays, vault allowance that aborts an otherwise-valid router-swap under the post-34bbe18 economics).

Differentiator vs prior submission: this report ran the project's Clarinet integration harness end-to-end (**9 files / 93 tests passed**, including sell-side mirrors, rescale solvency, proceeds conservation/precision, dispatch, and epoch helpers) and reviewed the sell core-spread v1 to equal depth with the buy side.

## Method

1. Checked out `d4ac0c4`; installed npm deps; ran `npx vitest run --config vitest.integration-v6-3.config.ts`.
2. Result: `Test Files 9 passed (9)` / `Tests 93 passed (93)` in ~364s. Log: session artifact `/tmp/jing-integration.log` (box-local).
3. Manual review of buy + sell `sync` / `deposit` / `withdraw` / `claim` / `roll-tail` / `close-epoch` / `settle-proceeds` / `earned-step` / `epoch-payout` / `proceeds-carry`.
4. Reviewed `markets-sbtc-stx-jing-v6-3` swap net/rebate (`34bbe18`), `swap-router-sbtc-stx-jing-v5-3` `jing-size` (`6a84e02`), `jing-swap` error swallow, juicestx `router-swap` allowance.
5. Integer model of router fixed-20 vs age-dependent 20..70 bps nets (Python; see Notes).

Out of scope (per bounty): tx-sender vs contract-caller proxy class; previously paid findings (index-floor epoch close, small-proceeds zero increment, prior v6-3 submit+settle audits).

## Clarinet evidence (sell + buy)

Harnesses exercised on both sides:

| Suite | Tests | Notes |
|-------|------:|-------|
| controls.test.ts | 28 | buy+sell held funds, pause, miner guards, donated input |
| dispatch.test.ts | 17 | ladder dispatch interaction |
| epochs.test.ts | 8 | epoch close / reserve claim paths |
| rungs.test.ts | 16 | core rung flows |
| proceeds-conservation.test.ts | 6 | proceeds conservation |
| proceeds-precision.test.ts | 6 | PROCEEDS_SCALE / small proceeds |
| rescale-fuzz.test.ts | 6 | rescale fuzz |
| rescale-solvency.test.ts | 2 | **buy + sell** post-rescale custody; both members claim then exit to zero |
| epoch-helper.test.ts | 4 | close-epoch / epoch-payout units |

Rescale solvency regression (documented in `simulations/README-v1-core-spread-rungs.md`) passes: `earned-step` pays on floored carried shares; final exits leave zero of both assets.

## Invariants checked (no break found)

### A. Stuck units
- Sole-member and last-claimer paths take `current-proceeds` / `epoch-reserve` remainders via `epoch-payout`.
- `roll-tail` snapshots proceeds + reserve; `count-reserve-claim` clamps at zero and deletes on last claimer.
- `sync` with `shares==0` leaves STX watermark so the next funded epoch absorbs ownerless dust (covered by controls "donated input" tests).
- Withdraw full-exit when `members` hits 0 calls `close-epoch` and attaches dust to the withdrawer's STX out.

### B. Insolvency
- Rescale solvency tests (buy + sell) require both members to claim then exit with exact zero custody.
- `earned-step` uses the same whole `carried` shares as `get-position` / withdraw burns; sum of floored member shares ≤ floored total across rescale.
- `u7016` caps `total-shares` at `PROCEEDS_SCALE` before map-set; refusal rolls back the deposit transfer.

### C. Unfair share
- New deposits set `paid-index` to current `proceeds-index` after `settle-proceeds`, so they do not earn on prior fills.
- Epoch isolation via `epoch-reserve` / final indices; crumbs of one epoch do not index into the next.

### D. Overflow / abort on withdraw or claim
- Partial withdraw burns shares with ceiling division; full exit when remainder worth 0 sats (ARION F-8 class).
- Zero-take exits burn shares without a zero FT transfer.
- Clarinet withdraw/claim paths in the suites above did not abort under the covered sequences.

### E. Items 2–5 (market / router / vault)
- **Net / rebate (`34bbe18`)**: `net = amount * BPS / (BPS + age_bps)`, `rebate = amount - net`. Matches fill economics; unused rebate bounded to per-fill dust (~51) by design notes + juicestx constant.
- **gross-up**: uses `TAKER_REBATE_BPS` (20) with ceiling form; conservative vs age-max (capacity hint, not a payout). Competitor's monotonicity claim aligns with reading; not re-litigated as a bug.
- **`jing-size` (`6a84e02`)**: estimates net with fixed `u20` (minimum rebate). Because 20 is the *minimum* age rebate, the estimate never understates net relative to a fresh oracle — so the router does **not** false-skip a book leg the market would accept at bps≥20. `jing-swap` `match`es errors to `none`, so a false-positive attempt on aged oracles (bps>20) is swallowed and AMMs continue (see Observation below).
- **Vault allowance (juicestx `5211831`)**: `router-swap` authorizes `amount + min-token-x + JING_REBATE_DUST_SATS` (u51). Matches bounty text and the post-net-sizing dust bound. `router-swap-split` uses `amount + min` only (pool-driven split path; separate entry). No abort sequence demonstrated under the dust bound.

### F. Ladder dispatch
- Integration `dispatch.test.ts` (17) exercises claim/withdraw batching with closed-rung settle-proceeds returning payout instead of `ERR_NO_POSITION` after epoch close. No additional break found in the dispatch↔rung payout interaction beyond what those tests already lock.

## Observation (not scored as exploitable)

**Router net estimate ignores age rebate above 20 bps.**

- Location: `contracts/swap-router-sbtc-stx-jing-v5-3.clar` `jing-size` (~L744): `net = size * BPS / (BPS + 20)`.
- Market: `rebate-bps-for-age` returns 20..70; `swap` asserts `net >= min-*-deposit` with the *actual* age bps.
- Integer gaps exist (e.g. `min=10000`, `amount=10020..10069`) where `net@20 ≥ min` but `net@70 < min`.
- Impact: router may *attempt* a Jing leg the market rejects; `jing-swap` maps the error to `none` and AMM stages take the size. **No abort, no loss, no skip of a leg the market would accept.** Fix (optional): pass `rebate-bps-for-age` (or call a market read-only) into the estimate so telemetry/`jing-ok` match reality. Severity: informational / QA.

## Gaps left

- Did not clone `fastpool-pox-5@8436562` / `citycoins-protocol@1cc6f23` this session (GitHub API rate limit); juicestx `@5211831` verified for the u51 pattern named in the bounty. Same allowance intent assumed for the other two per bounty text.
- No stxer mainnet-fork live sim (keyless verify scripts exist; Clarinet SDK used instead).
- Did not re-audit out-of-scope proxy/`tx-sender` class.

## Bonus design sketch (not claimed for the +2,000)

A simpler proceeds ledger could keep a single `proceeds-debt` uint (sum of unpaid member entitlements) updated on sync with `debt += gained` and on claim with exact member floor units, with the last member taking `balance - debt` — eliminating `proceeds-carry` and index rescale coupling. Not implemented or tested here; not requesting the bonus.
