5 of 6 builders proven on chain on preprod_test2 against the
post-audit validator (a8081acef26935d9b5f44b92052178e17301b6d6e6808c91c5b56f5d).
Veto path (4 builders):
- open 0972963e8eb46597b37dfa7e1fa15c97fea4e39d55b29c54f723ba1b155bc7cb
- deposit 0519cb7dbb8c2c1632db5baee90d5440d2905c151f910a085c78d9050c2d6175 ← first Plutus V3 spend on chain
- agree f6664079d96c453e1a6333c33c65744984953c474e57cdb331e78ad3e5429cc7
- veto 14a4be9f233ab02e518356e5963d30517986984f6fd3520151c924057db9c661 ← HIGH-2 fix proven
Refund-timeout path (5th builder):
- open(short) 0669ef61b8695bedcb4eb4c38fda2bd66c68c9384b57839329a01a745db75305
- refund 41590ac6ed069586e650da58858436cfe6be51a865069a7a4b40f795dfcdbff9 ← strict-> time gate proven, MED-2/3 fix held
Settle deferred — needs 30-min lock_period_ms wait. Builder + validator
branch unit-tested (5/5 tests pass), on-chain validation in next session.
Both HIGH validator fixes from the 2026-05-09 internal audit confirmed
running on chain. Multi-party signing flow + slot↔ms boundary math
both held up under real preprod chain race conditions.
Two HIGH validator-side bugs + several MED/LOW off-chain issues found
in the subagent-driven audit on this branch. New validator hash:
a8081acef26935d9b5f44b92052178e17301b6d6e6808c91c5b56f5d.
## HIGH-1: Deposit redeemer let depositors drain tokens
aiken-escrow/validators/escrow.ak Deposit branch now requires
`value_geq_value(new_value, in_value)` before computing net_added.
Previously net_added could carry negative quantities (when new_value
< in_value component-wise), letting a depositor write a matching
new_d.deposits with reduced values and pocket the difference as
wallet change. Latent under v1 ADA-only MCP usage but the validator
must hold against all callers.
## HIGH-2: Empty/partial deposits enabled funds drain via Veto/Refund
Veto and Refund branches now require
`value_eq(deposits_to_value(d.deposits), in_value)` — the tracked
deposits must account for the full locked value. Previously
`refund_outputs_satisfy(_, [])` was vacuously true on empty deposits,
so a driver could fire Veto/Refund on an escrow opened with
`initial_contributor=None` (deposits=[], in_value>0) and pocket the
input's lovelace as change.
Defense in depth: escrow_open builder now refuses
`initial_contributor=None`. New helper `deposits_to_value` folds
deposit FlatValues into a Value via `assets.add` for the equality
check.
## MED: off-chain fixes
- escrow_open min-utxo bumped 1M → 2M (Conway-era inline-datum
+ script-address outputs need ~1.4-1.7 ADA, NOT the 1 ADA default).
- escrow_settle_unsigned + escrow_refund_timeout_unsigned now derive
`validity_lower_ms` via slot_to_posix_ms(network, slot) instead of
Koios's `block_time*1000` — the chain reconstructs `lower` from the
slot, so Koios's ~1s drift could pass off-chain preflight while the
chain rejects at the strict-`>` boundary.
- escrow_open_unsigned MCP tool no longer accepts (and silently
discards) `fee_lovelace` — the unsigned-tx builder auto-estimates.
## LOW: defensive depth
- escrow_veto + escrow_refund_timeout: `qty as u64` → `u64::try_from`
so a corrupt or adversarial datum with negative i128 qty can't slip
through with a wraparound.
## Tests
- 36 escrow builder tests pass (added rejects_no_initial_contributor)
- 132 dao tests pass under --features escrow_wip
- aldabra-mcp release build clean
## Infra
- Validator artifact files (plutus.json, validator.cbor.hex)
regenerated. Dockerfile already wired to bake them at
/etc/aldabra/escrow/ for MCP tools' validator_script_path arg.
- Internal audit findings written up at
audits/2026-05-09-escrow-internal-audit.md including the v2-deferred
items (multi-asset spend-input, lovelace-not-cross-checked, etc.)
Third-party audit still required before any mainnet deployment.
