Signer Credential Compromise In A Fictional Operations Flow

A fictional operations case separates signer compromise from smart-contract bugs and shows why replay may be unavailable.

Normal Intended Flow

The intended path keeps the decision state and execution state aligned before sensitive state changes occur.

For this dossier, compare that expected behavior against the invariant panel and state changes below.

Exploit Flow

The exploit path models a mismatch between the state used for calculation and the state that exists when the action is applied.

This phase keeps the diagram static so it can later be replaced by the canonical animated diagram system.

Accessible summary: A single compromised signer credential must not be sufficient to authorize sensitive operational movement.

Invariant-break Explanation

The fictional operations model allows one compromised signer to pass a sensitive action.
