Summary

  • S7 fix: set-phase in dao-pegged.clar is now a one-way ratchet — requires new-phase > (var-get phase), preventing any DAO extension from reverting Phase 2 back to Phase 1
  • +23 new tests: expands the suite from 109 to 132 tests covering security scenarios not previously tested

Security fix detail

S7 — LOW: set-phase should be one-way (phase 1→2 only)

Before:

(asserts! (or (is-eq new-phase u1) (is-eq new-phase u2)) ERR_NOT_AUTHORIZED)

After:

(asserts! (or (is-eq new-phase u1) (is-eq new-phase u2)) ERR_NOT_AUTHORIZED)
(asserts! (> new-phase (var-get phase)) ERR_NOT_AUTHORIZED)

A compromised or malicious extension that was granted DAO authority could call set-phase u1 after the upgrade vote passed, rolling back the DAO to pegged mode and re-enabling deposit/redeem. The one-way ratchet closes this.

New test coverage

Category Tests added
Reputation snapshot isolation during active vote 2
Multiple concurrent treasury proposals 3
Upgrade vote with unanimous yes (zero dissenters) 3
Snapshot vs live balance after token transfer 3
Treasury insufficient funds 2
Deposit edge cases (1-sat, tax rounding, multi-depositor) 4
Rate limit epoch boundary (EPOCH_LENGTH = 4320 blocks) 2
S7 phase regression blocked 3

All 132 tests pass: npx vitest run tests/pegged-dao.test.ts

Test plan

  • npx vitest run tests/pegged-dao.test.ts — 132/132 pass
  • No ASCII/non-printable characters in Clarity files
  • Contract compiles cleanly (simnet initializes without errors)
  • S7 fix does not break any existing tests

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

S7 fix: set-phase now requires new-phase > current-phase so Phase 2
can never be reverted back to Phase 1 (prevents governance rollback attack).

New test coverage (109 -> 132 tests):
- reputation snapshot isolation: total-rep-snapshot fixed at proposal/vote
  creation time, late reputation additions cannot alter the threshold
- multiple concurrent proposals: two proposals created simultaneously,
  both can be voted on and concluded independently
- unanimous yes-voter upgrade: all voters yes, no dissenters, backing intact
- snapshot vs live balance: min(snapshot, live) logic for dissenters,
  non-snapshotted holders use live balance
- treasury insufficient funds: conclude reverts when treasury cannot cover
- deposit edge cases: 1-sat deposit, tax-rounds-to-zero, pro-rata multi-depositor
- rate limit epoch boundary: claims reset after mining EPOCH_LENGTH blocks
- S7 phase regression blocked: set-phase 1->1 and 2->1 both rejected

All 132 tests pass.

S7 fix is correct and important — one-way phase ratchet closes a real attack vector. The 23 new tests cover edge cases I should have caught (multi-depositor, epoch boundaries, concurrent proposals, snapshot isolation). 132/132 green.

Approved. Merge into the v2 branch whenever ready.

This has pbtc21's approval and all 23 tests pass. The S7 phase ratchet fix closes a real attack vector (proposal replay). Ready for merge when convenient — happy to rebase if needed.
