The two Mermaid diagrams under flowchart/ described the intended flow but
had drifted from the code and carried no link back to it. docs/ now holds
the specification instead: 15 Italian documents (flows, architecture, data
model, API, security, audit log, operations, decisions and limits, bug
history) with 472 numbered requirements, each pointing at the function
that implements it and the test that covers it. docs/processo-di-modifica.md
defines the ID convention and the spec -> code -> test change workflow, and
CLAUDE.md now names docs/ as authoritative.
Writing the spec from the code also corrected stale claims in CLAUDE.md
(B-41's get_history check, BUGS.md still tracking B-71/B-72, Cache-Control
scope, the error contract's bare-string exceptions) and in the operator
guides (payouts do retry, only `drawing` fails to resume, rounds do not
open without fee_address). The B-70 doc test now pins the prose in
docs/scommesse-e-prelievi.md instead of the deleted diagram.

A single hostile Electrum server, or a MITM on the one active
connection, could fabricate the block header the draw's entropy comes
from and so pick the winner of every round: headers were accepted with
no proof-of-work check and no link to the previous tip.
app/rounds/draw.py adds header_meets_its_own_target (rejects a header
whose hash doesn't satisfy the difficulty target it claims) and
header_prev_hash. electrum/listener.py's _apply_header now rejects a
header failing either check by raising HeaderValidationError, which
ends the session the same way a dropped connection would so the
listener rotates to the next configured server.
ElectrumListener gains corroborate_header: before the draw uses a
block, it's independently checked against the other configured servers
and needs a majority to agree. rounds/scheduler.py's
_wait_for_next_block now calls this and, on failure, logs why and
waits for a further block instead of ever using an uncorroborated
header.
Certificate/hostname verification stays disabled, so this doesn't
cover an attacker able to MITM every configured server at once -
BUGS.md notes that as not covered.
Suite grows from 151 to 165 tests. BUGS.md moves B-28 to Previously
fixed.
Periodic scheduler (configurable round duration) that closes a round
only once all broadcast bets confirm, waits for the next block after
closing, draws a winner via block-hash-seeded modulo over participants
ordered by broadcast time, triggers the 70/30 payout, and only opens the
next round once that payout confirms. Draw logic is isolated in
draw.py as a deliberately simple, replaceable component.
