davideandClaude Opus 5 526a649c8b Say what bets and withdrawals actually exclude (B-70)
The flowchart's WITHDRAW node (E1) stated that a withdrawal cannot happen
together with a bet in progress. The code only serializes the two *builds*
through the per-user lock: a withdrawal is accepted while a bet is still
unconfirmed, as long as confirmed, unspent UTXOs cover it.

CLAUDE.md makes every node of the diagrams binding, so one of the two had
to move, and it is the diagram. The hazard the node was reaching for is
the two transactions picking the same UTXO, and that is already excluded
twice: app/tx/locks.py keeps the builds from overlapping, and select_utxos
skips anything already marked spent_txid. What the node forbade on top of
that is spending untouched, confirmed money — so implementing it as
written would freeze a user's whole balance for a block after every bet
and protect nothing. E1 now describes the real rule, and CLAUDE.md's
per-user-lock paragraph states it is the only exclusion between the two.

Regenerated the A4/A3 PDFs (gitignored, so not in this commit).

The regression test is behavioural, not a wording check: it funds a user
with two confirmed UTXOs, bets (taking the larger), and asserts the
withdrawal goes through on the other one with the bet still unconfirmed
and neither transaction spending the other's input. A second test keeps
the diagram from drifting back.

BUGS.md — audit of 2026-08-03

Third full-codebase audit, opened after the 2026-07-26 (B-01 … B-24) and 2026-07-27 (B-25 … B-49) lists were emptied. Numbering continues from the last fixed finding, B-51.

The list opened at B-52 … B-72 and holds only what is still open: a finding is removed from this file once it is fixed, and is not listed here afterwards. Per CLAUDE.md's convention each entry gets its own commit with its own regression test, and the B-nn marker goes in a comment next to the fix, so git log --all --grep 'B-nn' is the record of how any closed finding was closed.

State of the tree at audit time: 264 unit tests, all passing; tests/integration/ still empty; withdrawal and the RBF bump path still never live-broadcast.

Verified as not broken while looking for these: i18n key parity (146 identical keys across all 7 languages), HTML escaping of every user-controlled value in admin.js, the Alembic chain (linear, single head, matching models.py), strictly-integer satoshi arithmetic everywhere, and .gitignore coverage of secrets/DB/logs (nothing sensitive is tracked in git).

Severity is about consequence, not likelihood: critical = money stuck or lost, or the lottery stops; high = a security control that does not hold; medium = wrong behaviour with a bounded blast radius; low = drift between documentation and code.


Critical

(not new) drawing does not resume after a restart

Already tracked as an accepted gap in CLAUDE.md's "Known gaps", not re-numbered here. Worth restating in context: with restart: unless-stopped on the app container, this is the one state that gets stuck with money in play, and it remains the last prerequisite for running unattended.


Low — documentation and consistency drift

B-71 — .env points MASTER_KEY_PATH at a second copy of the master key

CLAUDE.md's deployment section prescribes pointing MASTER_KEY_PATH at the host-side ./data/keys/master.xprv.enc so the venv scripts and the container read one file. .env instead sets ./master.xprv.enc, and both files now exist in the working tree (both gitignored). They were verified during this audit to decrypt to the same xprv, so nothing has diverged yet — but scripts/decrypt_master_key.py reads a different file from the one the container uses, and a future generate_master_key.py --overwrite would split them silently, with an ops recovery path that then reports the wrong key.

The same duplication exists for the database (./plm_lottery.db next to data/db/plm_lottery.db), which is less dangerous but equally confusing.

Fix: set MASTER_KEY_PATH=./data/keys/master.xprv.enc in .env, delete the stray root copy once confirmed redundant, and state the same for DATABASE_URL.

B-72 — docs/setup.md still frames setup as "locally or via Docker"

docs/setup.md:1-10 lists Python as a prerequisite "for the local/venv workflow" and describes the master-key step as local or Docker, while B-44 made Docker the only supported way to run the server (docs/running-the-server.md and README were updated, this file was not). The venv genuinely is needed for tests, migrations and the key scripts — the wording just needs to say that instead of implying a second way to run the server.
