davideandClaude Opus 5 c0314e2bf0 Never swap the tip's hash sideways, and never split it from its height (B-64)
_apply_header's linkage check only fires on a single-block advance, so a header
at the height we already held one for was applied on nothing but its own
self-consistency — and that check, as header_meets_its_own_target's own docstring
says, a server can satisfy with a self-declared easy target. So the one value the
draw is seeded from could be replaced under us at the current height, by a reorg
at the tip or by a single server disagreeing with the rest, with no check able to
speak to it. Separately, a header carrying no hex set tip_header_hex back to None
while advancing tip_height, leaving the two describing different blocks — the
exact pairing that function exists to keep.

Both are now refused without ending the session, unlike the fabrication cases
above them: neither is evidence of a hostile server, and rotating away would cost
us the one connection that also credits deposits and broadcasts transactions.

- A same-height header is ignored (logged when it actually differs). The hash
  committed to for a height is not swapped under us; if ours turns out to be the
  orphan, corroborate_header already refuses to seed a draw from it and the draw
  waits for a further block.
- A hex-less header is ignored outright: nothing to validate, nothing to draw
  from. A server that only ever pushed heights now freezes the draw — visibly,
  via B-36's draw_stalled — instead of costing us the connection.

Because ignoring is not fatal, _run_once additionally refuses to publish the
client when the initial header leaves the tip still unknown, so this cannot
reopen B-63's window from the other side.

The two _run_once tests are bounded with asyncio.wait_for: without their guard
that call waits on session tasks nothing ends, and a regression must fail rather
than hang the suite.

# 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.
---
## Medium — correctness and robustness
### B-65 — `/rounds/current` counts unconfirmed participants; the draw and payout do not
`app/api/routes/rounds.py:131-143` vs `app/rounds/scheduler.py:126`.
`participant_count` and `jackpot_sats` are computed over *all* `round_participants`
rows, while the draw and the payout only use `status == "confirmed"`. So the
advertised jackpot can exceed what is actually paid out, and a participant whose
bet is later abandoned appears in the count and then vanishes from it.
Fix: either count only `confirmed` (and accept that a fresh bet takes a block to
show up), or expose the two figures separately (confirmed vs in-flight) so the
number on screen and the number that gets paid agree by construction.
### B-66 — nothing stops rounds from opening with no `fee_address` configured
`app/rounds/config.py:12-17`, `app/rounds/scheduler.py:330-335`.
A fresh instance starts with `fee_address = ""`. Rounds open, bets are accepted and
confirm, and only then does the payout refuse to build — leaving the round in
`paying_out`, retrying every 60 s, with the audit log as the only signal.
Fix: refuse to open a round while `fee_address` is unset (and surface it on
`/admin` and as a maintenance-style banner), so the failure happens before anyone's
money is committed.
### B-67 — `/qr/{address}` is unauthenticated, synchronous and only shape-validated
`app/api/routes/qr.py:11-21`.
`qrcode.make` runs on the event loop, so the endpoint is a cheap CPU amplifier for
an unauthenticated caller, and the regex accepts any `plm1[a-z0-9]{10,90}` string
without validating the bech32 checksum — so it happily renders a QR for a
non-address.
Fix: validate with `is_valid_plm_address` (already used by withdrawals and by the
admin `fee_address` validator), and either offload the render or cache it per
address.
---
## Low — documentation and consistency drift
### B-68 — CLAUDE.md and README describe a state the code has moved past
- CLAUDE.md's tech-stack line still says JWT has **no revocation (B-34)**; `token_version`
implements exactly that revocation (`app/db/models.py:29`, `app/auth/dependencies.py:26`).
- "Known gaps" still says **no rate limiting anywhere (B-33)**; login and registration
are throttled (`app/auth/rate_limit.py`). What is genuinely still unthrottled is
bets, withdrawals and the admin endpoints — that is the claim worth keeping.
- "Known gaps" still says **`/report-bug` is a placeholder**; it is fully implemented
and translated, with admin triage. Only `/guida` is still a stub.
- Test counts are stale in three places: 264 actual, CLAUDE.md says 253 twice,
README says 232.
- The code map omits `app/auth/rate_limit.py`, `app/api/client_ip.py` and
`app/api/routes/bug_reports.py`.
- README links `flowchart.mmd`, which does not exist (the diagrams live in
`flowchart/`), describes `docs/running-the-server.md` as covering "local venv vs.
Docker" (that workflow was removed in B-44), and links the anchor
`CLAUDE.md#tech-stack-mvp`, which no longer exists.
### B-69 — stale in-code comments
- `app/tx/reconcile.py:206` calls the payout retry "a future payout-retry routine —
still an open gap"; it exists (B-26).
- `app/db/base.py:9` says "five concurrent background tasks"; there are six.
- `app/auth/routes.py:31` cites B-31 where it means B-33 (see B-58).
### 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.
