Defaults and recovery

Contract-triggered recovery, evidence windows and the limits of investor protection.

Monad testnet; not audited. These outcomes are distinct:

Event / functionEffect
Missed milestone deadline: bond.expireUndrawn()Moves undrawn principal to investor recovery; no clawback of released capital
Watched default: covenant calls bond.markDefault(evidenceHash)Records default, recovers undrawn principal and slashes held stake into the pool
Still Funding after deadline: account.cancelFunding(bond)Cancels the raise; holders call bond.refund 1:1; stake becomes issuer return credit
Maturity: account.closeBondAtMaturity(bond)Ends collection, recovers undrawn principal and closes or starts the Watched evidence grace
End of grace: bond.finalizeSettlement()Moves Closing to Closed and credits remaining stake for issuer return

BondrailCovenant.onReport requires the pinned forwarder and observer signature. Two qualifying Violation reports in adjacent 30-second epochs must refer to the active collection period. Watched bonds remain in Closing for 120 seconds to accept eligible late evidence from before collection closed. A run of Unknown reports with gaps no longer than one hour blocks deposits after one hour; after 24 hours during Active it can default. No reports alone do not establish a dark period or default. The contract's evidence rules do not guarantee reporter availability or detection latency.

A performance trigger (checkTrigger) increases revenue share; it does not by itself set defaultedAt or slash stake. A bond can close at maturity below its cap without a routing breach. Already released capital cannot be recovered by these contracts. Remaining pool assets and stake may not cover losses.

redeem burns claims, including during Active/Closing, and gives up future recoveries on those claims. The last outstanding claim waits for Closed. The vault has stricter behavior: BondrailVault.collect only burns positions after Cancelled/Closed. ERC-8004 feedback is a separate explicit script action, not an automatic effect of contract default.
