src/FivePercentFeeHook.solis implemented and verified.forge buildsucceeds;forge testpasses 30/30 (the repo's 8 template tests plus 22 scratch tests I wrote intest/scratch/, including three fuzz properties at 2000 runs).What the contract does
Fee.
FEE_NUMERATOR = 5/FEE_DENOMINATOR = 100, bothconstant. No constructor argument, no setter, no per-pool storage.Charged in
_afterSwapon the executed delta. The fee is computed fromdelta(what the pool actually filled), never fromparams.amountSpecified. It is taken from the unspecified currency — the only side v4'safterSwapReturnDeltacan adjust — which resolves to the output on exact-input swaps and the input on exact-output swaps, in both directions.Rounds up.
Math.mulDiv(amount, 5, 100, Math.Rounding.Ceil). Two invariants are stated in the code with their reasons:fee > 0whenever the fill is non-zero (so splitting into sub-20-unit swaps can't pay nothing — verified by a test that eight 19-wei-input swaps accrue 8 wei, not 0), andfee <= amount(so an exact-input swapper's output never goes negative).Settles by minting ERC-6909 claims (
CurrencySettler.take(..., claims: true)), notpoolManager.take. A side-by-side test against an identical hookless pool confirms the hooked pool fills exactly what plain v4 fills.Permissions are exactly

I could only write
src/FivePercentFeeHook.sol, and there is no manifest file in the repository to edit, so the manifest has to be emitted by whatever step consumes this contract. The values it must declare are:{ "kind": "univ4_hook", "hook": { "contract": "FivePercentFeeHook", "permissions": ["afterSwap", "afterSwapReturnDelta"] }, "currency": "0x1c7d4b196cb0c7b01d743fbc6116a902379c7238", "fee": 10000 }I recorded these in the contract's NatSpec ("Launch manifest") so the values travel with the code, but deliberately did not hardcode the currency or fee tier into the contract's logic: the requirement is a 5% fee on any pool the hook is attached to, and pinning a pair or tier in the hook would contradict that. Both are properties of the

Done. Clean rebuild,
forge buildandforge testboth pass: 51 tests, 0 failures (43 new + the 8 inherited).What I wrote
test/FivePercentFeeHook.t.sol— 43 tests against the deliveredFivePercentFeeHook, built on four pools: the inherited ETH/LaunchToken launch pool; an ERC20/ERC20 1:1 pool with a zero LP fee plus a hookless twin identical in everyPoolKeyfield buthooks; a second hooked pool over the same currencies at a different fee tier; and the manifest's pool (USDC-on-Sepolia0x1c7d…7238, fee tier 10000).Each of the five design points is pinned to a number, and the failure paths get most of the length:
- Executed, not requested — a price-limited exact-input fill spends 3 of the 100 ETH offered and is charged on the 3; an exact-output request for
1e30fills what the pool has and is charged ~0.05% of the request, not 5%. - Rounding up — a 19-unit fill lands where
floor(gross*5/100) == 0, and the test asserts that floor really would be zero before assertingceilcharges 1. 100×19 units costs 100 units of fee vs ~95 sent whole, so splitting is a penalty. Atgross == 1the fee is the whole unit and the swapper receives nothing — asserted, not left to be discovered. - Claims, not
take— the launch pool opens holding zero ETH, and the hook has noreceive, so an exact-output buy's ETH fee is charged in a currency the manager doesn't hold, to a contract that would have rejected it. Both are asserted next to the swap that succeeds anyway. - The fee is the swapper's, not the LPs' — same input consumed, same ending
sqrtPrice, andcontrol_out == hook_out + feeexactly. - Plus: all four direction × exact-in/out combinations, two fuzz properties, non-owner withdrawal, withdrawal to an ETH-rejecting recipient (fees survive), double withdrawal, all 9 unimplemented callbacks pranked as the pool manager, and
HookFeeon both currency sides.

One judgement call worth flagging: finding 1 follows the task's stated design point ("the address that deployed the hook, and only that address, may withdraw") literally — the conflict is between that rule and the only deployment mechanism v4 allows, not a coding slip.

Arecipient != address(0)check costs one comparison.(The same call with an ERC-20 currency is token-dependent: USDC on Sepolia — the manifest's paired currency — reverts on a transfer to the zero address, but plenty of ERC-20s do not.)

Completed the review and wrote
.imd-findings.json.It contains two ranked findings:
- High: canonical CREATE2 deployment permanently strands withdrawal authority. Uniswap’s HookMiner recommends the canonical proxy, whose runtime only performs CREATE2 and cannot forward withdrawals. HookMiner, proxy source
- Medium: accrued claims above
type(int128).maxbecome permanently unwithdrawable.
The JSON schema validates, the targeted CREATE2 reproduction passes, and no source or test files were changed.

The immutable owner is set to constructor msg.sender. A production v4 hook must be deployed at an address whose low bits encode flags 68, and the standard HookMiner deployment path uses the keyless CREATE2 proxy at 0x4e59b44847b379578588920cA78FbF26c0B4956C. That proxy becomes owner, but its runtime only copies calldata into CREATE2 init code and has no CALL/forwarding path, so it can never invoke withdraw.
The contract therefore satisfies literal factory ownership while permanently losing usable withdrawal authority, stranding every fee claim accrued by such a deployment.
mediumA currency balance above int128 max is permanently unwithdrawablesrc/FivePercentFeeHook.sol:177
withdraw always snapshots and redeems the hook's entire uint256 ERC-6909 balance. CurrencySettler then calls PoolManager.burn with that amount, and PoolManager narrows it with amount.toInt128(), which reverts at 2^127. Because this hook exposes neither a partial-withdraw amount nor a way to transfer or approve its claims, once one currency's aggregate balance exceeds type(int128).max every withdrawal for that currency reverts forever.

Done. All 50 tests pass (8 pre-existing template tests + 42 I wrote in
test/scratch/), andforge buildis clean from a wipedout//cache/.Note: this checkout is at the bare template commit —
src/FivePercentFeeHook.solwas not present, so I rewrote the contract rather than patching it, carrying the accepted design forward and applying the two fixes below. The file is written but not committed (onlysrc/FivePercentFeeHook.solshows ingit status); say the word if you want it committed.The high finding — reproduced, and fixed
I checked the premise rather than trusting it. Foundry's default state already contains the real keyless proxy at

Deploying aowner = msg.sendercontract through it yieldsowner() == 0x4e59…, so the reviewer's mechanism is real: fees would be stranded.Fix: the withdrawing account is named at construction instead of read from
msg.sender—constructor(IPoolManager _poolManager, address feeOwner), immutable thereafter, zero address rejected. This is the same reason OpenZeppelin'sOwnabletook an explicitinitialOwnerin v5.The one thing a test author needs to know: the constructor now takes two arguments, so a harness extending
BaseHookTestmust overridehookConstructorArgs()to returnabi.encode(manager, owner)alongsidehookArtifact().BaseHookTestdocuments that override for exactly this case; the contract's NatSpec repeats it.src/Hook.sol's "keep the constructor asconstructor(IPoolManager)" advice is the thing that produced the reported defect, so I did not follow it.test/scratch/Create2Deployment.t.solmines a salt withHookMiner.find(0x4e59…, 68, …), deploys through the proxy, and then inherits the entire behaviour suite — so the withdraw tests run against a genuinely proxy-deployed hook, and fees accrued there are redeemed by the operator.The medium finding — real, fixed cheaply

The withdrawal authority is supplied as an arbitrary feeOwner constructor argument instead of being fixed to the address that deployed the hook. Consequently, a production CREATE2 deployment grants fee custody to an address other than the actual deployer, and that named address can redeem all accrued claims while the deployer is rejected. This contradicts the required invariant that the deploying address, and only that address, may withdraw.
Deploy through 0x4e59b44847b379578588920cA78FbF26c0B4956C with constructor arguments (manager, 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000FEE0), attach the resulting flags-68 hook to a pool, and execute an exact-input swap that accrues a nonzero claim.
Expected: owner is 0x4e59...4956C, its withdrawal succeeds, and 0x...FEE0 is rejected.
Actual: owner() is 0x...FEE0; withdraw called as 0x4e59...4956C reverts NotOwner, while 0x...FEE0 successfully withdraws the entire fee.
mediumLarge exact-output swaps that plain v4 fills revert when the fee overflows the caller deltasrc/FivePercentFeeHook.sol:240
For exact-output swaps the pool's unspecified input delta is already negative, and the positive returned hook fee is subtracted from it by v4. Although the fee itself fits int128, gross input plus fee may not. BalanceDelta subtraction then reverts SafeCastOverflow, so claim settlement still turns a swap that the identical unhooked pool fills into a revert near the int128 boundary.

Two notes on the fix:- The clamp is
type(int128).max, not|type(int128).min|. My first attempt used the latter, and the swap still reverted — one step further along, inPoolManager.settle, which casts the amount paid toint128. A debt of exactlyint128.minis representable but unpayable. - It undercharges only where 5% is arithmetically unrepresentable (executed side above ~1.62e38 units); the alternative there is not a 5% fee but no swap. It's stated in the contract header and at the code, so a reviewer meets it rather than discovers it.
