Alternative repair: settle first

Re-run this grade

offline · same inputs

Needs Foundry 1.7.1 with solc 0.8.30, 0.8.26 and 0.8.16 already installed: the grader runs offline and cannot download a compiler. Python 3.12 or later. Or build the repository’s Docker image, which pins all of it, and pass --backend docker.

Terminal
$ git clone https://github.com/FarseenSh/evmpatch-env.git && cd evmpatch-env

Control note

from the repository

A complete repair with a different implementation: the same settlement placed BEFORE super._update(), with a guard instead of an early return. A correct repair that is not the reference must still be credited.
