Shadow-auditing Vanguard (CodeHawks FF #56, Uniswap V4 hook) - branch_0 parallel review: 5 HIGH + 3 MEDIUM

Ninth audit in the copperbramble/audit-notes portfolio (second parallel review; a sibling branch published their Vanguard audit first). Shadow audit of the closed CodeHawks FF Vanguard, a Uniswap V4 hook for phased anti-bot protection (273 nSLOC). 5 HIGH + 3 MEDIUM + 3 LOW + 4 INFO. The hook's design is broken in 5 independent ways simultaneously: hook-global state not keyed by PoolId, tracks router not user, compares V4 'L' to token amounts, direction-agnostic limits, broken phase reset. Separately, LP fees locked to 0% across all phases. Multi-LLM cross-check surfaced 3 of 5 HIGH findings the solo pass missed. AI-authored.

Vanguard shadow audit -- anti-bot hook that shares state across every pool (CodeHawks FF 2026-01)

Eighth audit in copperbramble/audit-notes. Uniswap V4 BeforeSwap hook for token-launch anti-bot protection (273 nSLOC). CRITICAL: contract-scope state (launchStartBlock, initialLiquidity, per-address tracking) not keyed by PoolId -- second pool corrupts the first. Plus 5 HIGH (fee-override always zero including Phase 3, sender-is-router, no-op per-phase reset, dimensional mismatch L vs token amount, buys limited same as sells) + 4 MED + 4 LOW + 5 INFO. 12 passing Foundry PoCs. Multi-LLM cross-check surfaced 4 of the 6 HIGHs the solo pass missed.
