## Core Functionality

### Primary Function: `distribute()`

The heart of the contract, responsible for:

1. **Yield Claiming**: Calls `USDR_EXTENSION.claimYield()` to mint fresh USDR
2. **Fee Calculation**: Applies `fee_on_yield_bps` to determine protocol revenue
3. **TVL Assessment**: Reads current Total Value Locked from both vaults
4. **Proportional Allocation**: Distributes net yield based on vault TVL ratios
5. **Carry Accounting**: Updates carry accumulators for long-term fairness
6. **Fund Distribution**: Transfers allocated amounts to respective recipients

### Supporting Functions

| Function | Purpose | Access Control |
|----------|---------|----------------|
| `setParams()` | Update configuration parameters | DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE |
| `pause(bool)` | Emergency pause/unpause | DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE |
| `previewDistribute()` | Preview next distribution without execution | Public View |
| `previewSplitCurrent()` | Preview split with current carry state | Public View |

---

## Mathematical Model

### Core Distribution Formula

The contract implements a proportional allocation system based on the **base supply** (supply before current mint):

// Basic Variables
minted = USDR_EXTENSION.claimYield()
feeToStartale = minted * fee_on_yield_bps / 10_000
net = minted - feeToStartale
S_base = ASSET.totalSupply() - minted  // Supply BEFORE this mint

// TVL Readings
T_earn = earnVault.totalPrincipal()
T_yield = susdrVault.totalAssets()

// Allocation Formula (with carry)
numEarn = net * T_earn + carryEarn
toEarn = numEarn / S_base
carryEarn = numEarn % S_base

numOn = net * T_yield + carryOn
toOn = numOn / S_base
carryOn = numOn % S_base

// Remainder allocation
toStartaleExtra = net - (toEarn + toOn)

### Carry Logic Explanation

The carry mechanism prevents systematic rounding bias:

1. **Accumulation**: Previous remainder (`carryEarn`, `carryOn`) is added to current calculation
2. **Distribution**: Integer division provides the allocation amount
3. **Remainder Storage**: Modulo operation captures remainder for next epoch
4. **Long-term Fairness**: Over time, accumulated remainders ensure proportional accuracy

### Edge Case: Zero Base Supply

When `S_base == 0` (no circulating supply):
- All yield (including net) goes to Startale Treasury
- Prevents division by zero
- Represents bootstrap phase or complete vault emptying

---

## Critical Invariants

### 1. Conservation of Value
**Property**: All minted tokens are distributed without loss

minted == feeToStartale + toEarn + toOn + toStartaleExtra
ASSET.balanceOf(redistributor) == 0  // No dust remains

### 2. Correct Denominator
**Property**: Base supply calculation excludes current mint

S_base == ASSET.totalSupply() - minted

### 3. Proportional Allocation
**Property**: Each cohort receives yield proportional to their TVL share

// Without carry (theoretical)
toEarn ≈ (net * T_earn) / S_base
toOn ≈ (net * T_yield) / S_base

// With carry (actual)
|toEarn - theoretical_toEarn| < S_base

### 4. Long-run Fairness
**Property**: Carry mechanism eliminates systematic bias over time

// Over N epochs, cumulative error is bounded
sum(actual_allocations) - sum(theoretical_allocations) < N * S_base

### 5. Funding Invariant (EarnVault)
**Property**: Transfer occurs before `onYield` call

// At onYield call time:
ASSET.balanceOf(earnVault) >= earnVault.claimReserve() + amount

### 6. Monotonic NAV (sUSDRVault)
**Property**: Price per share never decreases due to yield

PPS_after = totalAssets_after / totalSupply
PPS_after >= PPS_before  // Non-decreasing

### 7. Access Control Integrity
**Property**: Only authorized roles can execute sensitive functions

distribute() requires OPERATOR_ROLE
setParams() requires DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE
pause() requires DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE

### 8. Pause Effectiveness
**Property**: Critical functions respect pause state

distribute() reverts when paused

## Security Considerations

### High-Risk Areas

1. **Integer Overflow/Underflow**
- **Risk**: Arithmetic operations with large numbers
- **Mitigation**: Solidity 0.8+ built-in checks, SafeERC20 usage
- **Focus Areas**: Carry calculations, proportional math

2. **Reentrancy Attacks**
- **Risk**: External calls to vault contracts
- **Mitigation**: `nonReentrant` modifier, checks-effects-interactions pattern
- **Focus Areas**: `onYield` calls, token transfers

3. **Access Control Bypass**
- **Risk**: Unauthorized distribution or parameter changes
- **Mitigation**: OpenZeppelin AccessControl, role verification
- **Focus Areas**: `distribute()`, `setParams()` functions

4. **Rounding Manipulation**
- **Risk**: Adversaries exploiting rounding for profit
- **Mitigation**: Carry mechanism, remainder allocation to treasury
- **Focus Areas**: Division operations in allocation logic

5. **Front-running Attacks**
- **Risk**: MEV extraction through transaction ordering
- **Mitigation**: Keeper-based execution, predictable timing
- **Focus Areas**: Deposit/withdraw around distribution events

### Medium-Risk Areas

1. **Parameter Configuration Errors**
- **Risk**: Incorrect vault addresses or excessive fees
- **Mitigation**: Parameter validation, fee caps (`MAX_FEE_BPS`)
- **Focus Areas**: `setParams()` input validation

2. **External Contract Failures**
- **Risk**: Vault contracts reverting or behaving unexpectedly
- **Mitigation**: Try-catch patterns could be considered for robustness
- **Focus Areas**: `totalPrincipal()`, `totalAssets()`, `onYield()` calls

### Low-Risk Areas

1. **Gas Optimization**
- **Risk**: High gas costs affecting usability
- **Mitigation**: Efficient algorithms, minimal storage operations
- **Focus Areas**: Loop optimizations, storage vs. memory usage

## Access Control

### Role Hierarchy

DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE (Admin)
├── Can grant/revoke all roles
├── Can call setParams()
├── Can pause/unpause contract
└── Initially granted to constructor admin parameter

OPERATOR_ROLE (Keeper)
├── Can call distribute()
├── Cannot modify contract parameters
└── Initially granted to constructor admin parameter

### Function Permissions Matrix

| Function | Public | OPERATOR_ROLE | DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE |
|----------|--------|---------------|-------------------|
| `distribute()` | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| `setParams()` | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| `pause()` | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| `previewDistribute()` | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| `previewSplitCurrent()` | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |

### Role Management Best Practices

1. **Admin Role**: Should be a multisig or governance contract
2. **Operator Role**: Can be a keeper bot or trusted automation system
3. **Role Separation**: Operational roles separated from administrative roles
4. **Emergency Response**: Admin can immediately pause if issues detected

---

## Edge Cases

### 1. Zero Base Supply (`S_base == 0`)
**Scenario**: All USDR tokens are in vaults, no circulating supply
**Behavior**: All yield goes to Startale Treasury
**Rationale**: Prevents division by zero, represents edge market condition

### 2. Zero Vault TVL
**Scenario**: One or both vaults have zero total value locked
**Behavior**: Yield allocation adjusts proportionally, zero TVL gets zero yield
**Impact**: Remaining vault gets larger share, excess goes to treasury

### 3. Maximum Fee Configuration
**Scenario**: Admin sets fee to `MAX_FEE_BPS` (2000 = 20%)
**Behavior**: 20% of all yield goes to treasury as fee
**Constraint**: Cannot exceed maximum, prevents excessive fee extraction

### 4. Dust Amounts
**Scenario**: Very small yield amounts relative to base supply
**Behavior**: Carry mechanism accumulates dust until significant
**Benefit**: Ensures no value is permanently lost to rounding

### 5. Large Scale Operations
**Scenario**: Billions of USDR in TVL, millions in yield
**Behavior**: Precision maintained through carry logic
**Testing**: Integration tests verify large number handling

### 6. Vault Contract Failures
**Scenario**: External vault calls revert or return invalid data
**Current Behavior**: Transaction reverts, no distribution occurs
**Consideration**: Could implement graceful degradation in future versions

### 7. Rapid TVL Changes
**Scenario**: Large deposits/withdrawals between preview and execution
**Behavior**: Distribution uses real-time TVL, not preview values
**Impact**: Slight discrepancy between preview and actual allocation
