Conversation
Critical: - _allow_minting bypass (coinbase can mint arbitrary tokens) - TOCTOU double-spend (race condition in UTXO consumption) High: - Coinbase cap overflow (no per-block minting limit) - tx_id collision (fee not included, allows output substitution) Medium: - Missing box_id validation (invalid inputs accepted) - Dust output attack (storage bloat) Tests: 16 pass + 1 expected fail (PoC) Signed-off-by: BossChaos <bosschaos@users.noreply.github.com>
