Poem

A rabbit checks the delay with care,
A Safe sends no-op calldata through the air.
The timelock waits, then permits the key,
Cancellation clears what must not be.
One execution marks the hop complete.

In `@docs/TIMELOCK.md`:
- Line 157: Update the documentation wording near “becomes schedulable again” to
use the American English form “afterward” instead of “afterwards.”

In `@script/20260813-execute-timelock-operations.s.sol`:
- Around line 106-112: Move the executor EXECUTOR_ROLE assertion using hasRole
in the timelock operation flow to before vm.startBroadcast(), while preserving
the existing failure message and operation-completion check. Remove the
post-broadcast duplicate so any invalid executor is rejected before the
transaction is sent.
- Around line 81-86: Reorder the permissionless executor-role check in the
script so it runs before LibTimelockInvariants.assertTimelockState, allowing
ExecutionNotPermissionless to be raised when the role is missing. Preserve the
existing invariant assertion after this named guard.

In `@script/20260813-timelock-rehearsal.s.sol`:
- Around line 77-98: Centralize REHEARSAL_SALT and rehearsalPayload() in a
shared library such as LibTimelockInvariants, then import and use those
definitions in both scripts; remove the local duplicates from
script/20260813-timelock-rehearsal.s.sol lines 77-98 and
script/20260813-execute-timelock-operations.s.sol lines 63-73. Update the
executor script comment at lines 63-65 so it no longer claims a test compares
the duplicate declarations.
- Around line 159-164: Document in the contract comments around _authorSchedule
and REHEARSAL_SALT that executing the rehearsal permanently consumes the fixed
operation ID, so subsequent run() or reschedule() calls revert with
RehearsalAlreadyScheduled; state that repeating the rehearsal requires changing
the salt.

In `@test/script/20260813-timelock-rehearsal.t.sol`:
- Around line 41-54: Update the NatSpec comment for rehearsalOperationId to
state that it derives the operation id via hashOperation and does not read an
emitted artifact; remove the inaccurate claim that the test avoids restating the
operation shape, since the helper explicitly supplies those operation
parameters.
- Around line 65-81: Extend the transaction assertions in the rehearsal test
around txs[0] to verify that value is zero and operation is the standard CALL
operation, alongside the existing target and data checks. Use the transaction
model’s established constants or types for the operation assertion.
- Around line 96-131: Gate every state-dependent rehearsal test that calls
rehearsal.run() or rehearsal.reschedule(), including testScheduleAuthorsABundle,
testRehearsalIsANoOp, testScheduleCancelReschedule, and
testScheduleRefusesWhenAlreadyScheduled, on the live operation being in the
required precondition state; skip when rehearsalOperationId() is already
scheduled or completed. Follow the existing
testRunRejectsUninitializedCloneAtTarget guard pattern, while preserving
testCancelRefusesWhenNothingScheduled’s empty-state requirement.

1. `run()` — schedule the no-op.
2. `cancel()` — cancel it. Proves the veto works and that the same operation id
becomes schedulable again afterwards.

Not applying this.

afterwards is the spelling this repo already uses everywhere it uses the word at all, and three of the four occurrences predate this branch on main:

  • test/src/concrete/StoxReceiptVaultMigrationIntegrationTest.t.sol:833
  • test/script/20260729-deploy-governance-timelock.t.sol:22
  • test/script/DeployGovernanceTimelockHarness.sol:22

afterward appears zero times, and no American-English convention is stated in CLAUDE.md, README.md or anything under docs/. Changing this one line would make the repo inconsistent with itself in order to satisfy a LanguageTool locale default that is not a project rule.

Assert value and operation on the authored transaction.

The test pins to and data but not txs[0].value and txs[0].operation. operation selects CALL versus DELEGATECALL in the Safe bundle. A regression that authored operation: 1 would delegatecall the timelock from the Safe and would pass this test.

Half of this. value is a real gap and is now closed. The operation assertion is not added, because it cannot fail.

operation does not survive the round-trip. LibSafeOps.parseTxBuilderJson never parses it — the Tx Builder schema has no such field, so line 337 writes it unconditionally:

scratch[count] = SafeTx({to: to, value: value, data: data, operation: 0});

assertEq(uint256(txs[0].operation), 0) on a parsed bundle therefore asserts a literal the parser just wrote, one line earlier, regardless of what the script authored. It would have passed against the exact regression it names.

I mutated the script to operation: 1 to find where the hazard actually lands, and it is already closed — LibSafeOps._requireCallOperation (line 650) refuses to serialise a non-CALL op, and is called from both emitTxBuilderJson (line 250) and the MultiSend encoder (line 141):

[FAIL: TxBuilderJsonUnsupportedOperation(0, 1)] testRehearsalIsANoOp()
[FAIL: TxBuilderJsonUnsupportedOperation(0, 1)] testScheduleAuthorsABundle()
[FAIL: TxBuilderJsonUnsupportedOperation(0, 1)] testScheduleCancelReschedule()

A DELEGATECALL bundle cannot reach an artifact at all, so run() completing above is already the proof. Adding the vacuous assertion would have given false credit for coverage that lives in LibSafeOps.

value does survive it (serialised at line 255, parsed at 331-332) and nothing was checking it. Mutating the script to value: 1 passed the whole file, 8/8, before the assertion:

Suite result: ok. 8 passed; 0 failed; 0 skipped

and fails after it:

[FAIL: the rehearsal sends no value: 1 != 0] testScheduleAuthorsABundle()

Nothing else caught it: simulateExternalCall does not forward value, and the SafeTxHash that does cover it is only logged, never asserted. A comment at the assertion records why one of the pair is there and the other is not, so this does not get "fixed" later.

Josh Hardy and others added 3 commits August 14, 2026 10:46
The EXECUTOR_ROLE check ran after vm.stopBroadcast(), so a key holding the
role had already sent the execution before the revert fired — the operation
was Done, the fixed rehearsal salt retired, and the CI job red with nothing
undone. It is now a pre-flight named error.

The ExecutionNotPermissionless guard it sat beside was unreachable:
LibTimelockInvariants.assertTimelockState already asserts
hasRole(EXECUTOR_ROLE, address(0)) and reverts TimelockMissingRole first, so
the error was dead and its "opaque AccessControl revert" rationale false.
Dropped rather than reordered — hoisting a bare hasRole above
assertTimelockState would lose the named TimelockNotDeployed on a
pinned-but-codeless timelock.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The fork is unpinned head and REHEARSAL_SALT is constant, so dispatching the
rehearsal moves live Base out of the state six of these tests need — pending
reds them for the 48h window, and executing reds them forever, because OZ
keeps a Done operation registered. Every test that drives schedule now guards
on rehearsalIsRegisteredOnChain() and logs SPENT; cancel gets the narrower
isOperationPending guard, since Done is still nothing to cancel. Guarded
return rather than vm.skip, which the static job bans.

Two tests carry the coverage past that point:

- testRehearsalOperationIdMatchesTheLibrary reads no operation state, so the
  salt/payload drift check against LibTimelockRehearsal never goes quiet.
- testRehearsalIsOneShotOnceExecuted pins the retirement itself and is the
  coverage half of documenting it.

The one-shot constraint is now stated on LibTimelockRehearsal, which owns the
salt, and in the docs/TIMELOCK.md runbook.

SafeTx.value is asserted on the authored bundle; it round-trips the Tx Builder
JSON and nothing was checking it (value: 1 passed 8/8 before). operation is
not asserted there: parseTxBuilderJson writes 0 unconditionally because the
schema has no such field, so the assertion could not fail —
LibSafeOps._requireCallOperation is what actually refuses a DELEGATECALL, and
it already fails three tests under that mutation.
