## 🔴 CRITICAL FINDINGS (Must Fix Before Mainnet)

### CRITICAL-001: Mock ZK Proofs - No Actual Zero-Knowledge

**File:** `/base-mini-app/lib/risc-zero.ts` (Lines 61-113)
**Impact:** **PROTOCOL SECURITY IS ZERO**

**Issue:**
The entire zero-knowledge proof system is a mock implementation using deterministic random bytes. No actual cryptographic verification occurs.

```typescript
// Current implementation (MOCK - DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION)
function generateMockProof(inputs: BeliefProofInputs): ZKProof {
  const mockProofData = new Uint8Array(128);
  for (let i = 0; i < 128; i++) {
    mockProofData[i] = hashBytes[i % hashBytes.length];  // ❌ Deterministic garbage
  }
  return { proofBytes: bytesToHex(mockProofData), publicInputs: [...] };
}
```

**Security Implications:**
- ❌ **ZERO cryptographic security** - Anyone can generate "valid" proofs
- ❌ **Privacy completely broken** - Loyalty scores are not actually hidden
- ❌ **Core promise unfulfilled** - "Zero-knowledge" claim is false
- ❌ **Protocol is non-functional** - Cannot verify beliefs in production

**Math Correctness:** ❌ **NO MATH** - Current implementation has no cryptographic operations

**Required Fix:**
1. Integrate RISC Zero zkVM SDK: `npm install @risc0/zkvm`
2. Create Rust guest program (`risc0-guest/src/main.rs`):
   ```rust
   use risc0_zkvm::guest::env;

   fn main() {
       let belief_hash: [u8; 32] = env::read();
       let loyalty_score: u64 = env::read();

       // Verify loyalty score >= 80%
       assert!(loyalty_score >= 8000, "Loyalty too low");

       // Verify belief hash matches
       let computed = keccak256(&belief_text);
       assert_eq!(computed, belief_hash, "Hash mismatch");

       // Commit public outputs (only belief hash is public)
       env::commit(&belief_hash);
   }
   ```
3. Build guest program: `cargo risczero build`
4. Replace mock with real proof generation
5. Update `BeliefAttestationVerifier._verifyStarkProof()` to call RISC Zero verifier

**Math Validation Needed:**
- STARK proof verification (Fiat-Shamir heuristic)
- FRI polynomial commitment scheme
- Hash function consistency (keccak256 in guest and host)

**Time Estimate:** 2-3 weeks
**External Dependencies:** RISC Zero team support recommended

### CRITICAL-002: Hardcoded Loyalty Score - All Users Get Same Score

**File:** `/base-mini-app/components/BeliefAttestationForm.tsx` (Line 19)
**Impact:** **REPUTATION SYSTEM IS BROKEN**

**Issue:**
```typescript
const [loyaltyScore] = useState(9500); // ❌ ALL users get 95% regardless of activity
```

**Security Implications:**
- ❌ **Trust infrastructure non-functional** - Cannot differentiate user reputation
- ❌ **Sybil attacks trivial** - New accounts = same score as veterans
- ❌ **Protocol purpose defeated** - "Belief" attestation without loyalty is meaningless

**Math Correctness:** ❌ **NO CALCULATION** - Score should be dynamic based on:

**Required Implementation:**
```typescript
// GitHub Module (example calculation)
function calculateGitHubLoyaltyScore(githubData: GitHubActivity): number {
  const {
    totalCommits,
    totalPRs,
    repoAge,
    accountAge,
    contributionStreak,
  } = githubData;

  // Normalize to 0-10000 basis points
  const commitScore = Math.min(totalCommits * 10, 3000);
  const prScore = Math.min(totalPRs * 15, 3000);
  const ageScore = Math.min((accountAge / 365) * 1000, 2000);
  const streakScore = Math.min(contributionStreak * 5, 2000);

  const totalScore = commitScore + prScore + ageScore + streakScore;
  return Math.min(totalScore, 10000); // Cap at 100%
}

// NS3 Module
function calculateNS3LoyaltyScore(ns3Data: NS3Activity): number {
  const {
    sessionCount,
    daysSinceJoin,
    totalMessages,
    namespaceAge,
  } = ns3Data;

  const sessionScore = Math.min(sessionCount * 5, 4000);
  const ageScore = Math.min((daysSinceJoin / 30) * 100, 3000);
  const activityScore = Math.min(totalMessages * 2, 3000);

  return Math.min(sessionScore + ageScore + activityScore, 10000);
}

// Base Module
function calculateBaseLoyaltyScore(baseData: BaseActivity): number {
  const {
    txCount,
    totalVolume,
    accountAge,
    uniqueContracts,
  } = baseData;

  const txScore = Math.min(txCount * 3, 3000);
  const volumeScore = Math.min((totalVolume / 1e18) * 100, 3000);
  const ageScore = Math.min((accountAge / 30) * 50, 2000);
  const diversityScore = Math.min(uniqueContracts * 10, 2000);

  return Math.min(txScore + volumeScore + ageScore + diversityScore, 10000);
}
```

**Math Validation:**
- ✅ All formulas normalize to 0-10000 range
- ✅ Scores are additive and capped
- ✅ Prevents overflow (max checks)
- ❌ **NOT YET IMPLEMENTED** - Currently hardcoded

**Integration:**
1. Fetch data from public APIs (GitHub, Solana/NS3, Base RPC)
2. Calculate score client-side
3. Pass to ZK proof as private input
4. Proof verifies score >= threshold without revealing actual value

**Time Estimate:** 3-5 days per module (9-15 days total)
**Testing:** Requires 10+ diverse user accounts

**References:**
- Documented in `/CRITICAL_ISSUES.md` lines 43-64

---

### CRITICAL-003: Smart Contracts Not Deployed

**File:** `/base-mini-app/lib/contracts.ts` (Lines 4-12)
**Impact:** **APPLICATION COMPLETELY NON-FUNCTIONAL**

**Issue:**
```typescript
export const DILITHIUM_ATTESTOR_ADDRESS = (
  process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DILITHIUM_ATTESTOR_ADDRESS ||
  '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000'  // ❌ ZERO ADDRESS = NO CONTRACT
) as `0x${string}`;

export const BELIEF_VERIFIER_ADDRESS = (
  process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BELIEF_VERIFIER_ADDRESS ||
  '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000'  // ❌ ZERO ADDRESS
) as `0x${string}`;
```

**Impact:**
- ❌ **Transactions will fail** - Cannot call non-existent contracts
- ❌ **No data persistence** - Attestations not recorded on-chain
- ❌ **Demo only** - Cannot test end-to-end flow

**Deployment Roadmap:**

**Phase 1: Base Sepolia Testnet (Week 1)**
```bash
# 1. Get testnet ETH from Base Sepolia faucet
# 2. Set private key
export PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key_here
export BASESCAN_API_KEY=your_basescan_key  # Optional for verification

# 3. Deploy contracts
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy-vaultfire-base-mini-app.js --network baseSepolia

# Output:
# DilithiumAttestor deployed to: 0x...
# BeliefAttestationVerifier deployed to: 0x...

# 4. Update .env
echo "NEXT_PUBLIC_DILITHIUM_ATTESTOR_ADDRESS=0x..." >> base-mini-app/.env.local
echo "NEXT_PUBLIC_BELIEF_VERIFIER_ADDRESS=0x..." >> base-mini-app/.env.local

# 5. Test full flow
npm run dev
# Connect wallet → Create belief → Submit transaction → Verify on Basescan
```

**Phase 2: Security Audit (Weeks 2-3)**
- Engage third-party auditor (Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, ConsenSys Diligence)
- Budget: $50k-$200k for comprehensive audit
- Address findings
- Re-test fixes

**Phase 3: Base Mainnet (Week 4)**
```bash
# 1. Deploy to mainnet
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy-vaultfire-base-mini-app.js --network baseMainnet

# 2. Verify contracts on Basescan
npx hardhat verify --network baseMainnet 0x... <constructor args>

# 3. Update production .env
# 4. Monitor for 2 weeks before public launch
```

**Math Correctness:** N/A (deployment issue, not math)

**Time Estimate:** 1-2 weeks (including testing)
**Cost:** $0.10-$1.00 in gas fees (testnet), ~$50-100 (mainnet)

**References:**
- Deployment script ready: `/scripts/deploy-vaultfire-base-mini-app.js`
- Documented in `/CRITICAL_ISSUES.md` lines 68-91

---

### CRITICAL-004: Belief Attestation Verifier is Placeholder

**File:** `/contracts/BeliefAttestationVerifier.sol` (Lines 159-190)
**Impact:** **VERIFICATION BYPASS - ACCEPTS ANY PROOF**

**Issue:**
```solidity
function _verifyStarkProof(
    bytes calldata proofBytes,
    bytes32 beliefHash,
    address proverAddress,
    uint256 epoch,
    uint256 moduleID
) internal view returns (bool) {
    // **TEMPORARY IMPLEMENTATION FOR DEVELOPMENT**
    // **WARNING: This is a placeholder! Do not deploy to mainnet!**

    require(proofBytes.length > 0, "Empty proof");
    require(proofBytes.length >= 32, "Proof too short");

    return proofBytes.length >= 32;  // ❌ ACCEPTS ANY 32+ BYTE SEQUENCE
}
```

**Security Implications:**
- ❌ **Complete verification bypass** - Invalid proofs accepted as valid
- ❌ **Attestations are meaningless** - No cryptographic guarantee
- ❌ **Protocol security is zero** - Core verification missing
- ❌ **Violates white paper claims** - No post-quantum security

**Math Correctness:** ❌ **NO VERIFICATION MATH** - Should implement:

**Required STARK Verification Steps:**
1. **FRI (Fast Reed-Solomon Interactive Oracle Proofs)**
   - Verify polynomial commitments
   - Check low-degree testing
   - Validate query phase

2. **STARK-specific checks:**
   - Verify execution trace consistency
   - Check boundary constraints
   - Validate composition polynomial
   - Verify Fiat-Shamir transcript

3. **Public input verification:**
   ```solidity
   function _verifyStarkProof(
       bytes calldata proofBytes,
       bytes32 beliefHash,
       address proverAddress,
       uint256 epoch,
       uint256 moduleID
   ) internal view returns (bool) {
       // Extract proof components
       (bytes32 journalHash, bytes memory seal) = abi.decode(proofBytes, (bytes32, bytes));

       // Verify journal hash contains expected public inputs
       bytes32 expectedJournal = keccak256(abi.encode(beliefHash, epoch, moduleID));
       require(journalHash == expectedJournal, "Journal mismatch");

       // Call RISC Zero verifier
       IStarkVerifier verifier = IStarkVerifier(verifierAddress);
       require(verifier.verify(imageId, journalHash, seal), "Proof invalid");

       return true;
   }
   ```

**Integration Options:**
- **Option A:** RISC Zero Bonsai API (recommended)
  ```solidity
  import {IRiscZeroVerifier} from "@risc0/contracts/IRiscZeroVerifier.sol";

  function _verifyStarkProof(...) internal view returns (bool) {
      return riscZeroVerifier.verify(seal, imageId, journalDigest);
  }
  ```

- **Option B:** Custom STARK verifier (more complex)
  - Implement FRI protocol in Solidity
  - Higher gas costs (~500k+ gas)
  - More control over verification logic

**Time Estimate:** 1-2 weeks (depends on RISC Zero integration complexity)
**Gas Cost:** ~61k gas (Bonsai), ~500k gas (custom)

### CRITICAL-005: Unsafe Token Transfer Patterns

**File:** `/contracts/SwapGate.sol` (Lines 65-99)
**Impact:** **FUND LOSS RISK, TOKEN COMPATIBILITY ISSUES**

**Issue:**
```solidity
function swapToETH(uint256 amount) external checkKYC {
    uint256 fee = (amount * feeBps) / 10000;
    vaultfire.transferFrom(msg.sender, feeRecipient, fee);  // ❌ NOT SAFE
    vaultfire.transferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), amount - fee);  // ❌ NOT SAFE
    uint256 ethAmount = amount - fee;
    require(address(this).balance >= ethAmount, "insufficient ETH");
    payable(msg.sender).transfer(ethAmount);  // ❌ UNSAFE - 2300 gas limit
    emit Swap(msg.sender, "ETH", amount, ethAmount);
}

function swapToUSDC(uint256 amount) external checkKYC {
    // Similar unsafe patterns
    usdc.transfer(msg.sender, out);  // ❌ NOT SAFE
}
```

**Security Vulnerabilities:**

1. **No SafeERC20 usage:**
   - USDT, BNB, and other non-standard ERC20s silently fail
   - No revert on failure = funds lost
   - Math: `transfer()` returns `bool`, but not checked

2. **`.transfer()` for ETH:**
   - Only forwards 2300 gas
   - Breaks for contracts with fallback functions
   - Deprecated pattern since 2019

3. **No approval validation:**
   - Doesn't check if user approved tokens
   - Transaction fails with unclear error

**Math Implications:**
```solidity
// Current (BROKEN):
uint256 fee = (amount * feeBps) / 10000;  // ✅ Math is correct
// BUT transfer can silently fail, so fee calculation is irrelevant

// Fee calculation is sound, but execution is unsafe
```

**Required Fix:**
```solidity
import {SafeERC20} from "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/utils/SafeERC20.sol";
using SafeERC20 for IERC20;

function swapToETH(uint256 amount) external checkKYC nonReentrant {
    uint256 fee = (amount * feeBps) / 10000;

    // ✅ SAFE: Reverts on failure
    vaultfire.safeTransferFrom(msg.sender, feeRecipient, fee);
    vaultfire.safeTransferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), amount - fee);

    uint256 ethAmount = amount - fee;
    require(address(this).balance >= ethAmount, "insufficient ETH");

    // ✅ SAFE: No gas limit, forwards all available gas
    (bool success, ) = payable(msg.sender).call{value: ethAmount}("");
    require(success, "ETH transfer failed");

    emit Swap(msg.sender, "ETH", amount, ethAmount);
}

function swapToUSDC(uint256 amount) external checkKYC nonReentrant {
    // Existing fee calculation
    uint256 fee = (amount * feeBps) / 10000;
    uint256 netAmount = amount - fee;

    // ✅ SAFE: Reverts on failure
    vaultfire.safeTransferFrom(msg.sender, feeRecipient, fee);
    vaultfire.safeTransferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), netAmount);

    // Calculate USDC output
    uint256 out = (netAmount * 1e6) / 1e18;  // Vaultfire is 18 decimals, USDC is 6

    // ✅ SAFE: Reverts on failure
    usdc.safeTransfer(msg.sender, out);

    emit Swap(msg.sender, "USDC", amount, out);
}
```

**Math Validation:**
- ✅ Fee calculation: `(amount * feeBps) / 10000` is correct
- ✅ No overflow (feeBps < 10000, checked in constructor)
- ✅ Decimal conversion: `(netAmount * 1e6) / 1e18` correct for USDC
- ⚠️ **Execution safety is the issue, not the math**

**Time Estimate:** 1 day
**Testing:** Test with USDT, USDC, DAI, non-standard tokens

## 🟠 HIGH SEVERITY FINDINGS

### HIGH-001: Module ID Not Enforced On-Chain

**Files:** `/contracts/DilithiumAttestor.sol` & `/base-mini-app/components/BeliefAttestationForm.tsx`
**Impact:** Cannot filter or enforce module-specific rules

**Issue:**
```typescript
// Frontend tracks moduleId
const [moduleId, setModuleId] = useState<number>(MODULE_IDS.GITHUB);

// But when submitting to contract, moduleId is NOT passed:
writeContract({
    address: DILITHIUM_ATTESTOR_ADDRESS,
    abi: DILITHIUM_ATTESTOR_ABI,
    functionName: 'attestBelief',
    args: [beliefHash, zkProofBundle],  // ❌ moduleId missing
});
```

**Contract signature:**
```solidity
function attestBelief(
    bytes32 beliefHash,
    bytes calldata zkProofBundle
) external {
    // ❌ No moduleId parameter
}
```

**Impact:**
- Cannot filter attestations by module type
- Module-specific rules unenforceable
- Indexers cannot categorize attestations
- Cannot verify activity proof against module

**Required Fix:**
```solidity
function attestBelief(
    bytes32 beliefHash,
    uint8 moduleId,  // ✅ NEW PARAMETER
    bytes calldata zkProofBundle
) external {
    require(moduleId <= MAX_MODULE_ID, "Invalid module");

    // ... existing verification logic ...

    emit BeliefAttested(
        beliefHash,
        msg.sender,
        zkVerified,
        moduleId  // ✅ Log module type
    );
}
```

**Frontend update:**
```typescript
writeContract({
    address: DILITHIUM_ATTESTOR_ADDRESS,
    abi: DILITHIUM_ATTESTOR_ABI,
    functionName: 'attestBelief',
    args: [beliefHash, moduleId, zkProofBundle],  // ✅ Include moduleId
});
```

**Math Correctness:** N/A (data structure issue)

**Time Estimate:** 1-2 days + contract redeployment
**Breaking Change:** Yes

---

### HIGH-002: Activity Proof Not Verified

**Files:** `/base-mini-app/components/BeliefAttestationForm.tsx` & `/contracts/DilithiumAttestor.sol`

**Issue:**
User enters activity proof (`github:abc123`), but it's:
- ❌ Not passed to contract
- ❌ Not verified against actual activity
- ❌ User can fabricate any proof

```typescript
// Frontend collects activity proof
<input
    type="text"
    value={loyaltyProof}
    onChange={(e) => setLoyaltyProof(e.target.value)}
    placeholder="github:commit_sha"
/>

// But it's only displayed in UI, never verified
```

**Impact:**
- User could claim GitHub contribution that doesn't exist
- No on-chain link between belief and activity
- Trust in loyalty score is reduced

**Solutions:**

**Option A: Store in events (recommended for v1)**
```solidity
event BeliefAttested(
    bytes32 indexed beliefHash,
    address prover,
    bool zkVerified,
    uint8 moduleId,
    string activityProof  // ✅ Store for off-chain indexing
);
```

**Option B: Oracle verification (future enhancement)**
```solidity
// Use Chainlink or custom oracle to verify:
// - GitHub API confirms commit exists and is by this user
// - NS3 API confirms session exists
// - Base RPC confirms transaction exists
```

**Math Correctness:** N/A (verification logic, not calculation)

**Time Estimate:** 1 day (option A), 1-2 weeks (option B)

---

### HIGH-003: No Contract Configuration Validation

**File:** `/base-mini-app/app/page.tsx`

**Issue:**
App renders form even if contracts are not configured (zero addresses):
```typescript
export default function Home() {
  const { isConnected } = useAccount();

  return (
    // ... renders form even if contracts = 0x00...00
    {isConnected && <BeliefAttestationForm />}
  );
}
```

**Impact:**
- User sees working app
- Submits transaction expecting success
- Transaction fails with cryptic error
- Poor UX

**Required Fix:**
```typescript
import { areContractsConfigured } from '@/lib/contracts';

export default function Home() {
  const { isConnected } = useAccount();

  if (isConnected && !areContractsConfigured()) {
    return (
      <motion.div className="max-w-2xl mx-auto">

## 🟡 MEDIUM SEVERITY FINDINGS

### MEDIUM-001: SDK Module Mismatch

**Files:** `/sdk/vaultfire.ts` & `/base-mini-app/lib/contracts.ts`

**Issue:**
SDK defines 8 module types, but UI only supports 3:

```typescript
// SDK (vaultfire.ts)
export enum ModuleType {
  GENERIC = 0,
  GITHUB = 1,
  NS3 = 2,
  BASE = 3,
  CREDENTIAL = 4,      // ❌ Not in UI
  REPUTATION = 5,      // ❌ Not in UI
  IDENTITY = 6,        // ❌ Not in UI
  GOVERNANCE = 7,      // ❌ Not in UI
}

// UI (contracts.ts)
export const MODULE_IDS = {
  GENERIC: 0,
  GITHUB: 1,
  NS3: 2,
  BASE: 3,
};
```

**Impact:**
- SDK examples reference unavailable modules
- Developer confusion
- Incomplete feature parity

**Solutions:**
1. **Add UI for all modules** (2-3 days per module)
2. **Document as "SDK-only features"** (1 day)

**Recommendation:** Option 2 for v1.0, implement UI in v1.1

**Time Estimate:** 1 day (documentation) or 6-9 days (full UI)

---

### MEDIUM-002: No Belief Text Length Validation

**File:** `/base-mini-app/components/BeliefAttestationForm.tsx`

**Issue:**
```typescript
<textarea
    value={belief}
    onChange={(e) => setBelief(e.target.value)}
    required  // ❌ Only checks non-empty
/>
```

**Impact:**
- User could paste 10MB text → memory issues
- Hash computation hangs UI
- Poor UX

**Required Fix:**
```typescript
const MAX_BELIEF_LENGTH = 5000;  // ~1 page of text

<textarea
    value={belief}
    onChange={(e) => setBelief(e.target.value.slice(0, MAX_BELIEF_LENGTH))}
    maxLength={MAX_BELIEF_LENGTH}
    className="input min-h-[120px]"
    required
/>
<p className="text-xs text-base-gray-500 mt-2">
    {belief.length} / {MAX_BELIEF_LENGTH} characters
    {belief.length >= MAX_BELIEF_LENGTH && (
        <span className="text-vaultfire-red ml-2">Maximum length reached</span>
    )}
</p>
```

**Math:** Character limit = 5000 (reasonable for belief statement)

**Time Estimate:** 2 hours

### MEDIUM-003: Incomplete RISC Zero Guest Program

**Directory:** `/risc0-guest/`

**Issue:**
Directory exists but is empty or has placeholder files:
```bash
ls -la /risc0-guest/
# No implementation found
```

**Required Implementation:**
```rust
// risc0-guest/src/main.rs

#![no_main]

use risc0_zkvm::guest::env;
use sha2::{Sha256, Digest};

risc0_zkvm::guest::entry!(main);

pub fn main() {
    // Read private inputs
    let belief_text: String = env::read();
    let loyalty_score: u64 = env::read();
    let activity_proof: String = env::read();
    let module_id: u8 = env::read();

    // Read public inputs
    let expected_belief_hash: [u8; 32] = env::read();
    let threshold: u64 = env::read();  // e.g., 8000 for 80%

    // Verify loyalty score meets threshold
    assert!(loyalty_score >= threshold, "Loyalty score below threshold");

    // Verify belief hash matches
    let mut hasher = Sha256::new();
    hasher.update(belief_text.as_bytes());
    let computed_hash = hasher.finalize();
    assert_eq!(computed_hash.as_slice(), expected_belief_hash, "Belief hash mismatch");

    // Verify activity proof format (basic validation)
    match module_id {
        1 => assert!(activity_proof.starts_with("github:"), "Invalid GitHub proof"),
        2 => assert!(activity_proof.starts_with("ns3:"), "Invalid NS3 proof"),
        3 => assert!(activity_proof.starts_with("base:"), "Invalid Base proof"),
        _ => {}
    }

    // Commit public outputs (only belief hash)
    env::commit(&expected_belief_hash);
}
```

```toml
# risc0-guest/Cargo.toml

[package]
name = "vaultfire-guest"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
risc0-zkvm = { version = "0.20", default-features = false, features = ["std"] }
sha2 = { version = "0.10", default-features = false }

[profile.release]
opt-level = 3
```

**Build Instructions:**
```bash
# Install RISC Zero toolchain
curl -L https://risczero.com/install | bash
rzup install

# Build guest program
cd risc0-guest
cargo risczero build

# This generates:
# - target/release/risc0-guest (ELF binary)
# - Image ID (for verification)
```

**Time Estimate:** 1-2 weeks (including testing)

### MEDIUM-004: Wagmi Config Missing Error Handling

**File:** `/base-mini-app/lib/wagmi.ts`

**Issue:**
```typescript
export const config = getDefaultConfig({
  appName: 'Vaultfire Base Mini App',
  projectId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID || 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID',  // ❌
  chains: [base, baseSepolia],
  ssr: true,
});
```

**Problems:**
- Placeholder project ID fails at runtime
- No validation
- SSR enabled without hydration checks

**Required Fix:**
```typescript
const projectId = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID;

if (!projectId || projectId === 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID') {
  throw new Error(
    '❌ NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID is not configured.\n' +
    'Get a free project ID from: https://cloud.walletconnect.com\n' +
    'Then add it to your .env.local file.'
  );
}

export const config = getDefaultConfig({
  appName: 'Vaultfire Base Mini App',
  projectId,
  chains: [base, baseSepolia],
  ssr: true,
});
```

**Time Estimate:** 3 hours

---

### MEDIUM-005: Missing Input Sanitization

**File:** `/base-mini-app/components/BeliefAttestationForm.tsx`

**Issue:**
```typescript
const beliefHash = keccak256(toBytes(belief));
// ❌ belief not sanitized
```

**Risk:**
- Unicode edge cases
- Inconsistent hashing across browsers
- ZK proof generation failures

**Required Fix:**
```typescript
function sanitizeBeliefText(text: string): string {
  return text
    .trim()                    // Remove leading/trailing whitespace
    .replace(/\s+/g, ' ')      // Normalize whitespace to single spaces
    .normalize('NFC');         // Normalize Unicode (canonical composition)
}

const sanitizedBelief = sanitizeBeliefText(belief);
const beliefHash = keccak256(toBytes(sanitizedBelief));
```

**Math:** Unicode normalization ensures consistent hash computation

**Time Estimate:** 2 hours

---

### MEDIUM-006: No Proof Generation Timeout

**File:** `/base-mini-app/components/BeliefAttestationForm.tsx`

**Issue:**
```typescript
const zkProof = await generateBeliefProof({...});  // ❌ No timeout
```

**Impact:**
- If RISC Zero hangs, request hangs forever
- No user feedback
- Poor UX

**Required Fix:**
```typescript
async function withTimeout<T>(
  promise: Promise<T>,
  timeoutMs: number,
  timeoutMessage: string
): Promise<T> {
  return Promise.race([
    promise,
    new Promise<never>((_, reject) =>
      setTimeout(() => reject(new Error(timeoutMessage)), timeoutMs)
    )
  ]);
}

try {
  const zkProof = await withTimeout(
    generateBeliefProof({
      belief, beliefHash, loyaltyScore, moduleId,
      activityProof: loyaltyProof, proverAddress: address as `0x${string}`,
    }),
    30000,  // 30 second timeout
    'Proof generation timed out. Please try again.'
  );
} catch (err) {
  if (err.message.includes('timeout')) {
    // Show user-friendly timeout message
  } else {
    // Handle other errors
  }
}
```

**Time Estimate:** 1 day

## 🔵 LOW SEVERITY FINDINGS

### LOW-001: Wallet Disconnection Not Handled

**File:** `/base-mini-app/components/BeliefAttestationForm.tsx`

**Issue:**
If wallet disconnects during form interaction, no graceful handling:
```typescript
const { address } = useAccount();
// If disconnects, address = undefined, but form still renders
```

**Required Fix:**
```typescript
export function BeliefAttestationForm() {
  const { address, isConnected } = useAccount();

  if (!isConnected || !address) {
    return (
      <motion.div
        initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
        animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
        className="card bg-base-blue/20 border border-base-blue/30 text-center"
      >
        <AlertCircle className="w-6 h-6 text-base-blue mx-auto mb-3" />
        <h3 className="font-bold mb-2">Wallet Disconnected</h3>
        <p className="text-sm text-base-gray-400 mb-4">
          Please reconnect your wallet to continue.
        </p>
        <ConnectButton />
      </motion.div>
    );
  }

  // ... rest of component
}
```

**Time Estimate:** 3 hours

```typescript
openGraph: {
  title: 'Vaultfire | The Trust Layer for Base',
  description: '...',
  images: [
    {
      url: '/og-image.png',  // ❌ File doesn't exist
      width: 1200,
      height: 630,
    },
  ],
},
```

**Impact:**
- Blank previews on Twitter/Discord/Telegram
- Unprofessional appearance

**Required:**
1. Create 1200x630px OG image
2. Create 1024x512px Twitter card
3. Save to `/public/og-image.png`

**Time Estimate:** 2 hours (design + implementation)

---

### LOW-003: Hardcoded Basescan URLs

**File:** Multiple

**Issue:**
```typescript
href={`https://basescan.org/tx/${hash}`}  // ❌ Hardcoded for mainnet
```

**For testnet:** Should use `https://sepolia.basescan.org/tx/${hash}`

**Required Fix:**
```typescript
// lib/constants.ts
export const BASESCAN_URL = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_CHAIN === 'base'
  ? 'https://basescan.org'
  : 'https://sepolia.basescan.org';

// In components:
import { BASESCAN_URL } from '@/lib/constants';

href={`${BASESCAN_URL}/tx/${hash}`}
```

**Time Estimate:** 1 day

## ✅ STRENGTHS & EXEMPLARY IMPLEMENTATIONS

### STRENGTH-001: Professional Smart Contract Security Patterns

**Files:** `/contracts/DilithiumAttestor.sol`, `/contracts/RewardStream.sol`, `/contracts/VaultfireDAO.sol`

**Exemplary Implementations:**

1. **ReentrancyGuard on all external calls:**
   ```solidity
   contract RewardStream is ReentrancyGuard {
       function claim() external nonReentrant {
           // ✅ Protected against reentrancy
       }
   }
   ```

2. **Proper access control:**
   ```solidity
   modifier onlyAdmin() {
       require(msg.sender == admin, "not-admin");
       _;
   }

   modifier onlyGovernor() {
       require(msg.sender == governor, "not-governor");
       _;
   }
   ```

3. **Timelock for sensitive operations:**
   ```solidity
   uint256 public constant ADMIN_TRANSFER_DELAY = 2 days;

   function transferAdmin(address newAdmin) external onlyAdmin {
       pendingAdmin = newAdmin;
       adminTransferTimestamp = block.timestamp + ADMIN_TRANSFER_DELAY;
       emit AdminTransferInitiated(admin, newAdmin, adminTransferTimestamp);
   }

   function acceptAdmin() external {
       require(msg.sender == pendingAdmin, "not-pending");
       require(block.timestamp >= adminTransferTimestamp, "timelock-active");
       address oldAdmin = admin;
       admin = pendingAdmin;
       pendingAdmin = address(0);
       emit AdminTransferred(oldAdmin, admin);
   }
   ```

4. **Comprehensive event logging:**
   ```solidity
   event BeliefAttested(bytes32 indexed beliefHash, address prover, bool zkVerified);
   event AdminTransferred(address indexed oldAdmin, address indexed newAdmin);
   event RewardClaimed(address indexed user, uint256 amount);
   ```

5. **Checks-Effects-Interactions (CEI) pattern:**
   ```solidity
   function claim() external nonReentrant {
       // Checks
       require(claimable[msg.sender] > 0, "nothing-to-claim");

       // Effects (state changes BEFORE external calls)
       uint256 amount = claimable[msg.sender];
       claimable[msg.sender] = 0;

       // Interactions (external calls LAST)
       vaultfire.transfer(msg.sender, amount);
       emit RewardClaimed(msg.sender, amount);
   }
   ```

**Assessment:** ✅ **These patterns match or exceed industry standards** (Uniswap, Aave, Compound)

## MATHEMATICAL SOUNDNESS REVIEW

### Smart Contract Math

**✅ CORRECT IMPLEMENTATIONS:**

1. **Fee Calculations (SwapGate.sol):**
   ```solidity
   uint256 fee = (amount * feeBps) / 10000;
   ```
   - ✅ No overflow (feeBps < 10000, validated in constructor)
   - ✅ Correct precision (basis points)
   - ✅ Safe order of operations (multiply before divide)

2. **Decimal Conversions (SwapGate.sol):**
   ```solidity
   uint256 out = (netAmount * 1e6) / 1e18;  // 18 decimals → 6 decimals
   ```
   - ✅ Correct for USDC (6 decimals)
   - ✅ No precision loss for typical amounts
   - ⚠️ Could lose precision for very small amounts (<1e12 wei)

3. **Reward Distribution (RewardStream.sol):**
   ```solidity
   uint256 reward = (userStake * totalRewards) / totalStake;
   ```
   - ✅ Proportional distribution
   - ✅ No overflow (checked with require statements)
   - ✅ Handles zero total stake case

**❌ MISSING/BROKEN IMPLEMENTATIONS:**

1. **ZK Proof Verification:**
   - ❌ No STARK verification math (placeholder only)
   - ❌ Should implement FRI protocol
   - ❌ Should validate Fiat-Shamir transcript

2. **Loyalty Score Calculation:**
   - ❌ No calculation (hardcoded 9500)
   - ❌ Should normalize activity metrics to 0-10000 range
   - ❌ Should prevent gaming/manipulation

### Frontend Math

**✅ CORRECT:**
1. **Hash Computation:**
   ```typescript
   const beliefHash = keccak256(toBytes(belief));
   ```
   - ✅ Uses viem's keccak256 (Ethereum standard)
   - ✅ Proper encoding (UTF-8 → bytes)

2. **Percentage Display:**
   ```typescript
   const percentage = (loyaltyScore / 100).toFixed(2);  // 9500 → "95.00%"
   ```
   - ✅ Correct conversion from basis points

**❌ MISSING:**
1. **Loyalty Score Normalization:**
   - Should implement min-max normalization
   - Should handle outliers
   - Should prevent negative scores

### Overall Math Assessment

**Grade: C+ (65/100)**
- ✅ Existing math is correct
- ❌ Critical components missing (ZK, loyalty scoring)
- ⚠️ Precision loss possible in edge cases
