Which Linear task belongs to this PR?

Fixes EXSC-711

Why did I implement it this way?

The repo documents contracts thoroughly but the processes around them — how a change gets deployed, audited, proposed to the multisig, signed and executed — live in people's heads, in Slack threads, and partially in .agents/commands/multisig-rollout.md. This adds docs/MultisigSigningProcess.md describing the process as it exists today, not as we would like it to be. Everything in it was verified against the code on main; it cites script paths and function names rather than line numbers, which rot.

The check table carries an explicit "Enforced by" column mapping each rule to the script or workflow that enforces it. That was deliberate: it makes the difference between "we have a convention" and "the system enforces a convention" visible at a glance, and it makes gaps obvious rather than implicit.

There is an honest section on what the signer still has to verify manually. It would have been easy to write a doc that implies the tooling covers more than it does; that would be worse than no doc.

Housekeeping included because it is the same edit surface: docs/README.md was missing several process docs that already exist, and the root README.md linked ./conventions.md — a file that no longer exists — in four separate places, now pointed at .agents/rules/.

A short "planned improvements" section at the end is clearly marked as proposal-stage and not yet implemented, so the doc does not read as describing features we do not have.

The deployUpgradesToSAFE pre-proposal gate is described as retargeted in PR #2128 / EXSC-687 (production: match origin/main or open-PR + audit-log freeze; staging ungated). The previous draft said that path required GitHub SC + auditor reviews, which would have blocked the usual feature-branch rollout of already-merged code. That gate still applies only to that one entry point, not to sendOrPropose / timelock-wrapped cuts.

Stacked on #2128. This doc describes the deployUpgradesToSAFE gate as retargeted by #2128, so it must not reach main first — otherwise main would carry a doc asserting a gate that does not exist yet, which contradicts the doc's own "documents what is" premise. Basing this PR on that branch makes the ordering structural rather than a thing reviewers have to remember; GitHub retargets this to main automatically once #2128 merges. Note that CodeRabbit does not auto-review a non-default base and still reports its check green, so its review was triggered manually.

Merged current main (cccf9b7) into the branch. One conflict, in docs/README.md, where this branch's added entries overlapped main's removal of the deprecated Hop docs (#2219). Resolved as a union with the Hop entries left deleted — a naive union would have silently resurrected doc links to deprecated facets. Verified afterwards that no HopFacet reference survives, that main's DeploymentLogs.md entry does, and that every ./*.md link in the index resolves to a real file. FraxFacet.md, added by main and missing from the index, was added too — the same defect class this PR exists to fix.

Re-verifying the doc against the merged main turned up four claims that had gone stale or were wrong, all now corrected:

  • ensureSCCoreDevApproval.yml is no longer a live gate — retired in chore(ci): retire flaky SC core-dev approval workflow (DO-728) #2216. Core-dev approval now comes from the main protection ruleset's required_reviewers rule on the smart-contract-core team, confirmed via the API.
  • CANCELLER_ROLE was misattributed. The doc said the Safe is the timelock's "only PROPOSER/CANCELLER". OpenZeppelin 4.9.2 grants CANCELLER to every proposer, and LiFiTimelockController's constructor additionally grants it to _cancellerWallet (deployerWallet), which is a distinct address from every Safe. A queued operation can therefore be cancelled without a quorum, which is worth stating plainly in a signing doc.
  • The Safe-leg executor is in practice the deployer wallet, not an arbitrary owner: the signer hardware wallets are not funded on every chain and the deployer is. confirm-safe-tx.ts offers Sign and Execute With Deployer / Execute with Deployer, which broadcast with PRIVATE_KEY_PRODUCTION. The roles table and the §4.3 action-prompt list now say so.
  • Hardcoded counts removed. The doc quoted "71 active mainnet production networks" (which conflated active with active mainnet) and a signing threshold of "currently 3". Both rot as networks and Safe config change, so neither is stated as a number now — the doc points at config/networks.json as the live list, and notes the threshold is read on-chain per Safe at confirm time.

Governance impact (rule 105): documentation only. No change to any script, workflow, Safe threshold, timelock delay, role, or transaction authorization path.

Checklist before requesting a review

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6c885

The PR adds and corrects multisig process documentation without changing production behavior, but the guide still needs two bounded accuracy fixes: documenting both Safe gas conditions and accurately describing whether approval verification blocks execution. Until clarified, operators could misunderstand transaction-failure handling or the strength of an approval safeguard.

…eak-glass (EXSC-711)

Addresses CodeRabbit review on PR #2126: the doc described
SEND_PROPOSALS_DIRECTLY_TO_DIAMOND, the untimelocked deployUpgradesToSAFE
diamondCut, pause, and unpause without making clear that none of them weaken
Safe governance on a live production diamond. Each is now scoped to
bring-up/legacy/break-glass with its enforced guard named, and unpause states
that only minDelay is bypassed while Safe threshold/quorum stays mandatory.

…-711)

Align the process doc with PR 2128 / EXSC-687: production feature-branch rollouts of already-merged facet code are allowed; GitHub dual-review is not the gate.

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Re-verified against current main after the merge:

- ensureSCCoreDevApproval.yml was retired in #2216; core-dev approval now
  comes from the main protection ruleset's required_reviewers rule.
- CANCELLER_ROLE is held by the deployer wallet as well as the Safe, so a
  queued timelock operation can be cancelled without a quorum.
- The Safe leg is broadcast by the deployer wallet in practice, since the
  signer hardware wallets are not funded on every chain.
- Network count and signing threshold are no longer stated as numbers; both
  change over time, so the doc points at config/networks.json and at the
  on-chain per-Safe read instead.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…g (EXSC-711)

The previous wording named config/global.json deployerWallet as a current
CANCELLER_ROLE holder. That asserts live on-chain state: the role is granted
at deploy time to the _cancellerWallet constructor arg and is mutable
afterwards via manageTimelockCanceller, and the deployer wallet has been
rotated, so the config value is not a reliable stand-in for the live holders.

🔍 QA Review — EXSC-711 — S25 · Document the multisig signing process in the repo

PR: #2126 | Ticket: EXSC-711 | Review type: 🆕 First review | Date: 2026-08-28


What this PR does

Adds docs/MultisigSigningProcess.md (304 lines) — an authoritative, current-state description of the production multisig signing process covering roles, architecture, the full deploy → propose → sign → execute lifecycle, a comprehensive automated-checks table with "Enforced by" column, honest documentation of what signers must still verify manually, and the emergency pause/unpause path. Alongside, docs/README.md gains a new "Processes" section and fills in four previously-missing facet/guide entries. Root README.md has all four dead ./conventions.md links replaced with ./.agents/rules/. This PR is stacked on PR #2128 (EXSC-687); this review covers only the doc changes layered on top.


Acceptance Criteria Check

No explicit AC was defined on the ticket — implied criteria evaluated below.

# Implied AC Status Notes
1 docs/MultisigSigningProcess.md added — roles, architecture, lifecycle, automated checks with "Enforced by" column, manual-verification list, emergency path ✅ Met All six content areas present; 304-line document confirmed at head
2 docs/README.md updated to include omitted process docs ✅ Met New "Processes" section added with 4 entries; 4 additional entries added to Facets and Guides sub-sections
3 Root README.md dead ./conventions.md links fixed — 4 instances ✅ Met All 4 occurrences replaced with ./.agents/rules/; .agents/rules/ confirmed present

Code / Content Analysis

doc-only PR — no Solidity changes, no audit concerns, no test gaps.

§1 Purpose & scope — accurate and well-guarded.
The SEND_PROPOSALS_DIRECTLY_TO_DIAMOND escape hatch is correctly scoped to bring-up of a new network before ownership transfer, with two concrete enforcement mechanisms cited (scriptMaster.sh warning + LibDiamond.enforceIsContractOwner reverting on live networks). The CodeRabbit finding about governance-exception ambiguity was addressed in commit d54f5fd30 and confirmed resolved.

§2 Roles — accurate.
Four roles match the actual tooling. The observation that the deployer wallet is the practical executor (only owner funded on every chain) is correctly documented.

§3 Architecture — accurate and nuanced.
Two-cluster MongoDB split correctly described. CANCELLER_ROLE nuance (live holders should be read on-chain, not inferred from config) is a security-relevant clarification, accurate and useful.

§4 Lifecycle — thorough and honest.
Legacy deployUpgradesToSAFE.sh "without --timelock" path correctly flagged as effectively dead on production. Bespoke task scripts that bypass the main chokepoint honestly listed with "there is no single chokepoint."

§5 Automated checks table — high quality.
15+ rows with concrete "Enforced by" references. "Confirm: Deployed-version vs target-state mismatch" accurately captured as Warn only (not Block).

§6 Manual verification list — appropriately honest.
Six items candidly documented as display-only/not machine-asserted: intent, version mismatches, unknown targets, Safe address cross-check, unknown selectors from 4byte, execution outcome (no pre-signature simulation).

§7 Emergency path — accurate and complete.
Pause/unpause asymmetry correctly described. Both unpause routes present. Full Safe threshold/quorum requirement for unpause explicitly stated.

§9 Planned improvements — cleanly separated.
Section heading explicitly states "proposal stage — NOT yet implemented." Does not pollute the current-state description.

All linked targets in docs/README.md verified against head-branch docs/ directory. No dead links introduced.


Ticket Coverage

Rating: Full

All three implied AC items are met. The document covers every content area from the ticket description. The current-state/planned-improvements separation is explicitly enforced in §9.


Downstream Impact


✅ Verdict: Pass

All three implied AC items are fully met. The document is accurate, well-structured, appropriately honest about current tooling gaps, and cleanly separates current state from planned improvements. No Solidity changes — no audit or test concerns apply.

`GAS_ESTIMATE_MULTIPLIER`, with a fixed fallback that still broadcasts on
estimation failure (`executors/gas-with-fallback.ts`). `safeTxGas` is 0, so an
inner-call failure reverts top-level without consuming the Safe nonce.

State both Safe gas conditions.

EvmChainExecutor passes safeTxGas == 0 and gasPrice == 0 to execTransaction. State both conditions because Safe reverts a failed inner call only when both values are zero; otherwise it emits ExecutionFailure after consuming the nonce.
