test(privacy): extend Stablecoin/ATA privacy coverage and close Token/ATA gaps

Add Stablecoin privacy-preserving tests for WithdrawCollateral and RepayDebt
(personal and group-owned variants), plus a regression test confirming
OpenPosition is incompatible with the privacy circuit (chained-call
re-authorization). Close the last planned Token row (MintWithAuthority to a
private holding) and the ATA owner-signer gap for Transfer (personal and
group-owned), plus a defensive Create/group-owner test.

Extract shared privacy-test helpers (identity builders, GroupOwner
seal/unseal handshake) into integration_tests/src/lib.rs and use them
throughout token.rs, collapsing duplicated InputAccountIdentity/account
construction. Update docs/privacy-test-matrix.md with all new findings.

This is the tracking scaffold, not the final deliverable — `docs/privacy-gap-report.md` gets
written from the resolved state of this table.
## Key findings so far (highest priority — read this before anything else)
1. **`OpenPosition` cannot be called via a `PrivacyPreservingTransaction` at all**, for any
reason related to privacy — confirmed with an all-public control case (zero private
accounts, still fails identically). `open_position.rs` issues two chained calls that both
reuse `vault`: `Token::InitializeAccount` authorizes it via `pda_seeds`, then
`Token::Transfer` re-declares it `is_authorized: false` on its second occurrence (a
legitimate choice on the public-transaction path, per that file's own comment). The privacy
circuit's `authorized_accounts` bookkeeping is monotonic — once authorized, an account must
stay declared `is_authorized: true` on every later occurrence — so this is rejected with
`"Inconsistent authorization for account {id}"` (`lee_core`'s `execution_state.rs:301`).
Likely fixable by not re-declaring `vault` unauthorized on its second occurrence. See
`stablecoin_open_position_via_privacy_transaction_is_not_expressible` and the Stablecoin
section below for the full writeup. **Single most actionable item for the protocol team.**
2. **Private PDAs are structurally impossible under every program's current derivation** — ATA,
AMM, and Stablecoin all derive PDAs via `for_public_pda` only, which can never satisfy
`PrivatePdaInit`/`PrivatePdaUpdate`'s binding requirement (traced precisely in
`execution_state.rs`; see the ATA section). Fixable only by a source change to
`for_private_pda` in each `*_core` crate.
3. **Sending to an existing private account requires the recipient's cooperation** — no
"blind credit" path exists; confirmed across Token/ATA/Stablecoin instructions. Real
wallet-UX implication, not a bug.
4. **Group-owned (shared) accounts work identically to personal ones** wherever tried —
Transfer, Burn, InitializeAccount, and as the signing `owner` behind a PDA-locked resource
(ATA, Stablecoin) — using the real seal/unseal GMS distribution, not just key reuse.
5. **AMM cannot be privacy-tested at all yet** — a *second*, distinct circuit-level issue
blocks every pool-mutating AMM instruction (`Swap*`, `AddLiquidity`, `RemoveLiquidity`,
`SyncReserves`) from the privacy-preserving transaction type, confirmed with all-public
control tests (zero private accounts, still fails): `"Invalid account_identities length"`
inside `execute_and_prove` itself. Ruled out "two different callee programs" as the cause
(a TWAP-only instruction fails identically to a Token+TWAP one); leading unconfirmed
suspect is AMM's pattern of passing an already-mutated `pool` copy into its chained TWAP
call. Root-causing further requires the Docker-based guest rebuild pipeline (`make
build-programs`), not plain `cargo test` — parked pending that investment. See the AMM
section below for the full bisection trail.

coverage minted to a public holder; every prior private-recipient mint test used self/PDA

regardless of authority mode, so a passive `PrivateUnauthorized` recipient works here exactly as
it does under plain `Mint`. Passed on the first attempt after correcting the `Message`
construction: with two public accounts in the same privacy transaction (`definition`, not a
signer, plus `authority`, the signer), `public_account_ids` must list *both* — in their
`execute_and_prove` input order — for the circuit's public post-states to zip correctly, while
`nonces` lists *only* the signer(s), positionally matched to the witness keys (`signer_account_ids`
is derived from the witness set's public keys, not from `public_account_ids`). This is the first
test in the file with more than one public account alongside a private one, so it's worth
carrying forward: `public_account_ids` (post-state zipping) and `nonces` (signature/nonce
verification) are two independently-sized lists, not one shared list.

`Create` never asserts `owner.is_authorized`, and the only private identity variant compatible
with an unauthorized owner (`PrivateUnauthorized`) structurally has no `nsk` field at all — it's
built from `npk`/`vpk` alone. So `ata_create_from_private_owner` demonstrates something worth

ATA using only that owner's public key material, without the owner ever exposing (or even
needing to possess yet) their `nsk`.** This mirrors Token's finding that anyone can shield funds
into a fresh private recipient who has never been online — here a wallet provider, faucet, or
counterparty program can pre-create a user's per-token account the same way, purely from public
inputs. The boundary is exactly where signing starts: the moment an instruction needs to *move*
value or prove ongoing control (`Transfer`, `Burn`), `nsk` becomes mandatory — see the

authorities for instructions that require it, not just as passive recipients.
**Follow-up (confirmed 2026-07-08 — closing a coverage review gap, not a new dimension):** a

`ata_transfer_with_private_owner_signing` / `ata_transfer_with_group_owned_owner_signing` close
that gap directly, mirroring the `Burn` pair exactly (self-init + sign via `PrivateAuthorizedInit`,
personal and group-owned). Both passed on the first attempt, as expected given `Burn`'s identical
shape. Also added `ata_create_from_group_owned_owner` for symmetry — but **this one is a weaker
test by construction, not a gap closure**: `Create` places no signer requirement on `owner` at
all, and its only compatible private identity (`PrivateUnauthorized`) never touches `nsk`, so a
group-derived `owner` is indistinguishable from a personal one at this instruction. The test
confirms that empirically (nothing in `Create` secretly assumes anything about where `npk`/`vpk`
came from) but does **not** demonstrate genuine shared control the way the `Transfer`/`Burn`
group tests do — there is nothing for `Create` to prove sharing over, since it never asks anyone
to prove control of `owner` in the first place. Net: `Create`'s "group ownership" question isn't
an open gap, it's a category mismatch — worth stating that plainly in the gap report rather than
implying it was untested.
**Finding (ATA cannot originate a fresh private holding, confirmed 2026-07-08 — synthesizes two
separate facts above into one conclusion worth stating plainly): no ATA instruction can bring a
new private token holding into existence, for two independent reasons covering the two accounts
involved.** (1) The ATA's own holding can never be private at all — the confirmed `PDA` finding:
`Create` authorizes it via `for_public_pda` only, which can never satisfy
`PrivatePdaInit`/`PrivatePdaUpdate`'s binding requirement. (2) Even a separate, non-ATA private
recipient can't be freshly created through `ATA::Transfer``transfer_from_associated_token_account`
hard-asserts `recipient.account != Account::default()`, rejecting a shield-style fresh
`PrivateUnauthorized` recipient outright; only an *already-existing* recipient can be credited
(per the `CHAIN` + `EXIST` finding above). So ATA can send value *toward* a private destination,
but only one that already exists via some other path — every private holding that appears in
these tests was originated by a direct, non-ATA `Token` call
(`ata_transfer_to_existing_private_recipient`'s setup shields the recipient via `Token::Transfer`
before the ATA transfer under test ever runs). Worth stating as its own line in the gap report:
"ATA cannot emit private token holdings" is a real, structural limitation, not a coverage gap
in the tests written here.

## AMM (`amm.rs`) — depends on Token, TWAP oracle
@@ -249,57 +373,166 @@ price surface (reserves must be readable to quote a swap; TWAP needs a continuou
observable tick) — privatizing them fights the AMM's purpose. Vault/LP-lock are the credible
middle case. User-held token/LP balances are the highest-value target.
### ⚠ Blocked pending investigation (2026-07-08) — read before starting AMM test-writing
Before writing any private AMM test, an all-public control test through `execute_and_prove`
(the same discipline that found Stablecoin's `OpenPosition` bug) turned up a **second,
distinct circuit-level issue specific to AMM**, unrelated to any privacy dimension. No AMM
privacy tests have been written yet — this needs resolving (or explicitly working around)
first.
**Symptom**: `SwapExactInput` (8 top-level accounts, 3 chained calls: 2×`Token::Transfer` +
1×`TWAP::UpdateCurrentTick`) fails *inside* `execute_and_prove`, before any private account is
even involved, with `"Invalid account_identities length"` (`lee_core`'s `output.rs:27`) —
`account_identities.len()` (8, what we supply) vs `states_iter.len()` (7, what the circuit
computes). Confirmed with every account `Public`.
**Bisection done so far**:
- **Ruled out "two different callee programs"**: `SyncReserves` (6 accounts, *one* chained
call, into TWAP oracle only — zero Token calls) fails with the identical pattern (6 vs 5).
So it's not about chaining into two different programs.
- **Ruled out "any multi-account reuse in one chained call"**: Stablecoin's
`WithdrawCollateral` reuses *two* accounts (`vault`, `destination`) inside its single chained
call and works fine — so plain reuse-of-multiple-accounts isn't sufficient on its own to
trigger this.
- **Simplest AMM instruction works**: `UpdateConfig` (2 accounts, zero chained calls) gets
*past* `execute_and_prove` cleanly — it fails later, at `transition_from_privacy_preserving_transaction`,
with `InvalidInput("Empty commitments and empty nullifiers found in message")`. This looks
like an unrelated, general protocol rule (a `PrivacyPreservingTransaction` needs at least one
actual private account, or use `PublicTransaction` instead) — not a bug, but worth noting:
**the "all-public control" methodology needs at least one trivial private leg to get past
this check for future control tests**, not just all-`Public` identities.
- **Leading structural lead, not yet confirmed**: every AMM instruction that hits the length
mismatch passes a *post-update* copy of `pool` (`pool_price_source`, holding `pool_post`
the already-mutated state, not the original pre-state) into its chained TWAP call. This
"pass what's about to become the post-state as the next call's own pre-state" pattern is
proven correct on the public-transaction path (33 passing tests) but nothing in
Token/ATA/Stablecoin ever exercised it under the privacy circuit. Not yet confirmed as *the*
cause — only the clearest outlier found.
**Why this wasn't root-caused further**: attempted source-level instrumentation
(`eprintln!` tracing added directly to the pinned `lee_core` checkout's `execution_state.rs`)
to watch the exact bookkeeping live. Confirmed `lee`/`lee_core` genuinely recompiled
(`cargo clean -p lee -p lee_core` + fresh compile logs), but the added prints never
surfaced, while the original panic still fired from the same file/line. This means the actual
executed code path isn't rebuilt by a normal `cargo clean`/`cargo test` cycle — almost
certainly because real guest execution runs a separately cross-compiled RISC-V ELF
(`risc0_build::embed_methods!`), which per this repo's own `CLAUDE.md` needs the Docker-based
`make build-programs` pipeline to rebuild, not plain cargo. Instrumentation was cleanly
reverted (`git status` clean in the checkout; all 52 other tests reconfirmed passing
afterward) rather than sunk further into standing up that Docker toolchain just for tracing.
**Next step when this is picked back up**: either (a) stand up the guest-rebuild pipeline to
finish the trace, or (b) construct a minimal synthetic instruction (not part of the real AMM
program) that isolates the "post-state passed as next call's pre-state" pattern alone, without
needing to modify any pinned dependency.

### Planned
**Finding (`OpenPosition`, confirmed 2026-07-08 — the headline finding for this program, and
arguably the whole exercise): `OpenPosition` cannot be executed through the privacy-preserving
transaction type at all, for any reason related to privacy.** Confirmed with an all-public
control test (every account `Public`, zero private accounts) that fails with the *identical*
error as the private attempt. Root cause traced precisely in `lee_core`'s
`execution_state.rs`: `authorized_accounts` is a monotonic/sticky set — once an account is
authorized via one chained call's `pda_seeds` match, every later occurrence of that same
account must *also* declare `is_authorized: true`, or
`assert_eq!(pre_is_authorized, is_authorized, "Inconsistent authorization for account {id}")`
fails. `open_position.rs` issues two chained calls that both reuse `vault`: the first
(`Token::InitializeAccount`) authorizes it via `pda_seeds`, sticking it as authorized; the
second (`Token::Transfer`) then deliberately constructs `post_init_vault` with
`is_authorized: false` — a legitimate choice on the public-transaction path (the file's own
comment: "the recipient is already initialized, so no second PDA claim is needed here") — but
the privacy circuit rejects that as inconsistent. **This means no privacy-preserving test can
ever open a position** — not because of anything about privacy, but because the instruction
itself is incompatible with the privacy transaction machinery as currently coded. Every test
below routes around it by seeding position/vault directly via `force_insert_account` (public
accounts, no real `OpenPosition` call), matching how the pre-existing public
`stablecoin_repay_debt_burns_stablecoins_and_decreases_debt` test already worked before this
phase. This is the single most actionable, most severe finding to feed back to the protocol
team — it blocks privacy for `OpenPosition` categorically, independent of the four Q2
dimensions, and is likely fixable by having `open_position.rs` mark `post_init_vault` as
authorized (or otherwise not re-declare it unauthorized) on its second occurrence.

**Consequence for the `PDA` dimension**: the originally-planned
`stablecoin_open_position_private_pda` confirmation test was dropped as redundant. Position and
vault are *only* ever claimed (via `Claim::Pda` and chained `pda_seeds` respectively) inside
`OpenPosition` — and since that instruction can't reach the privacy circuit at all, the `PDA`
question for Stablecoin can't even be isolated independently; it's subsumed by the finding
above. No separate test needed — the ATA `PDA` finding (same `for_public_pda`-only root cause)
still stands as the citable reference.
**Finding (`stablecoin_withdraw_collateral_private_destination` / `..._group_owned_destination`,
confirmed 2026-07-08):** unlike `OpenPosition`, `WithdrawCollateral` issues only *one* chained
call (`Token::Transfer`, reusing `vault` exactly once) — it doesn't hit the re-authorization
bug, and passed on the first attempt with a private, pre-existing destination (`EXIST`,
requiring the destination's `PrivateAuthorizedUpdate` cooperation per the Token/ATA-phase
finding) and again with a group-owned destination (real seal/unseal distribution, `GROUP`).
**Finding (`stablecoin_repay_debt_private_stablecoin_holding` / `..._group_owned_...`, confirmed
2026-07-08):** `RepayDebt` also has only one chained call (`Token::Burn`) and isn't affected by
the `OpenPosition` bug. `user_stablecoin_holding` is notably *not* PDA-locked (unlike ATA's own
holdings) — it's an ordinary user-controlled token holding — so it's free to be private with no
structural obstacle at all. Passed personal and group-owned variants on the first attempt.
**Finding (`stablecoin_group_owned_position_owner`, confirmed 2026-07-08 — reframes what
"group-owned position" means):** the position/vault themselves can never be private or
group-owned (the `PDA` finding), and can't even be *opened* through the privacy machinery (the
finding above) — but `owner` is just an `AccountId` used for PDA seed derivation and signer
verification, so it doesn't need to be a plain public keypair. Directly mirroring
`ata_group_owned_owner_signing`'s precedent: position/vault are seeded directly (bypassing the
blocked `OpenPosition`), keyed to a group-derived `owner` identity; "Bob" — who only ever
receives the sealed GMS — self-initializes *and* signs that owner identity in one transaction
via `PrivateAuthorizedInit`, then withdraws collateral through it. Passed on the first attempt.
This is the correct, expressible version of "joint control over a CDP": shared control of the
*authority* over a PDA-locked resource, not shared privacy of the resource itself.
`ProtocolParameters` remains out of scope — not yet consumed by any instruction (no
freeze/admin logic wired up), nothing to test.
