davideandClaude Opus 5 666cb1a0c9 Retire in-code comments that outlived what they described (B-69)
- app/tx/reconcile.py called the payout retry "a future payout-retry
  routine — still an open gap". It shipped as B-26: clearing payout_txid
  leaves the round in exactly the state _retry_payout_if_due picks up, so
  an abandoned payout rebuilds itself and the log line next to it is an
  alert, not the recovery path. Reading it the old way, an operator would
  go hand-fix a round the scheduler was already retrying.
- app/db/base.py sized the SQLite busy timeout against "five concurrent
  background tasks" and then listed only the non-listener ones; the
  lifespan starts six.
- The third item (app/auth/routes.py citing B-31 where it meant B-33) was
  already correct in the tree; the test pins it so it stays that way.

tests/unit/test_code_comments.py derives the task count from the lifespan's
own create_task calls rather than restating it, so the comment fails the
next time a task is added or removed instead of quietly going stale again.

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-70 — the flowchart's WITHDRAW precondition is not implemented as written

flowchart/platform-overview.mmd:39 (node E1) states a withdrawal cannot happen together with a bet in progress. The code only serializes the builds through the per-user lock (app/tx/locks.py): a withdrawal is accepted while a bet is still unconfirmed, as long as confirmed UTXOs cover it.

CLAUDE.md declares every node and edge label of the diagrams a behaviour that must be implemented as described, so one of the two has to move — most likely the diagram, since the lock already prevents the actual double-spend hazard, but that is a decision, not a cleanup.

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.
