858-863: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winMake the existence requirement in the docs match the guard.
The guard reads the owner when
isExistenceRequiredis true orcanonAuthis nonzero. So_requireOwnedstill runs, and the token must still exist, whenisExistenceRequiredis false andauthis nonzero. The requirement line states the opposite. The test atcontracts/src/token/test/nonFungibleToken.test.tsLines 921-931 mints first, so it does not expose the difference.This matches OpenZeppelin's
_approve(to, tokenId, auth, emitEvent). Only the wording needs a correction.📝 Proposed doc correction
- * - `tokenId` must exist, unless `isExistenceRequired` is false. + * - `tokenId` must exist, unless `isExistenceRequired` is false and `auth` is zero.Also applies to: 885-895

Looking good, Isk! I left a few nit-ish comments on the tests
The one concern though is that both the base branch and the target branch should be the release branch. The target branch can easily be changed, not the base branch though. Not sure if it's worth moving this back a few commits or opening a new PR

I don't think it's necessary to have an audit describe block or reference it with so much context with comments. I suggest favoring self-describing describe and it blocks and leave comments that help the reader understand what's happening (if it's complex and/or not obvious). In two months, these comments will be superfluous noise. lmk if you disagree

Is the context on what the previous code was necessary to rehash and explain? I ask bc it's not a complex test and the it block + the variable names tell the story. If we want to include comments here, maybe something like this:
// Plant approval on nonexistent id
...
// Attempt to mint nonexistent token
...
| // On the unfixed code SPENDER then took OWNER's token on the strength | ||
| // of the surviving approval. |

Forgive me: again, not a fan of leaving "unfixed code" relics
Audit finding M-04 (Midnight Foundation #2, release 0.3.0-alpha.1): `_approve` runs its approver validation only when `auth` is non-zero, so the `_requireOwned` existence check sits inside the guarded branch while the approval write executes unconditionally. `MockNonFungibleToken` exports `_approve`, so the zero-auth path is reachable without the `_computeAccountId` derived auth that `approve` supplies. That breaks the invariant the module relies on elsewhere: a populated approval implies an existing token. `_unsafeTransferFrom` states in a comment that supplying an `auth` argument verifies token existence, and skips checking the returned previous owner against zero on that basis. Three failing tests, one per link in the chain: * zero-auth `_approve` records an approval for a nonexistent token * a planted approval defeats `_checkAuthorized`, so `transferFrom` from the zero account mints the token with no mint authorization * `_update` clears approvals only when the source is non-zero, so a planted approval outlives a legitimate mint and lets the planter move the token away from its owner The tests assert the intended behaviour and therefore fail on this commit. They are the reproduction for the finding, not a fix. Dry run is sufficient: the defect is circuit control flow, with no proving, coin, or ledger dependence. vitest run nonFungibleToken --root contracts --project unit Tests 3 failed | 190 passed (193)
Audit finding M-04 (Midnight Foundation #2, release 0.3.0-alpha.1). `_approve` ran its approver validation only when `auth` was non-zero, so the `_requireOwned` existence check sat inside the guarded branch while the approval write executed outside it. The zero-auth path therefore recorded approvals for tokens that were never minted. Solidity's reference does not have that gap. Its composer-facing `_approve(to, tokenId, auth)` delegates to `_approve(to, tokenId, auth, true)`, whose guard is `emitEvent || auth != address(0)` and so always reads the owner. The port kept only the `auth` half of the disjunct, giving one circuit the name of the safe overload and the behaviour of the unchecked one. Restore the split the same way Solidity overloads it: * `_approve` always requires existence and delegates to `_unsafeApprove` * `_unsafeApprove` takes `isExistenceRequired`, mirroring `emitEvent`; Compact has no events, so the flag carries the existence check alone * `_update` clears through `_unsafeApprove(.., false)`, the one call site Solidity also routes to the unchecked overload * fold the approver check into a single assert, matching Solidity's `auth != 0 && owner != auth && !isApprovedForAll(..)` revert condition Add a second barrier so a composer misusing the unchecked variant cannot turn a planted approval into an unauthorized mint: `_unsafeTransferFrom` now asserts the previous owner is non-zero, the same check and message `_unsafeTransfer` already carries. `_checkAuthorized` is left as is. It matches the Solidity reference line for line, and with the above in place its ordering is unreachable. Tests: the three M-04 reproductions now pass, plus a `_unsafeApprove` suite covering both flag values, the approver check, the uninitialized path, and the planted-approval transfer that the new assert rejects. Row counts re-measured across the module; `_transfer` and `_unsafeTransfer` drop from k=12 to k=11.
Review feedback: drop the `audit M-04` describe block and the before/after-fix narration. The three regression tests move into the existing `_approve` block with self-describing names, and the comments that survive describe current behaviour only. Traceability for the finding stays in the fix commit and the PR body.

Changes look good! I left a final few comments regarding tests. Afterwards, we should be good to go

Two things here:
- This is catching "undefined", but it's really swallowing the "nonexistent token" error. It's odd and a little misleading to leave it as such
- This test never actually plants the approval bc it fails (why the catch is misleading). The test at line 909 already does this correctly

If you agree with those points, namely the second, we can probably remove this test entirely
| // Plant an approval on the id OWNER is about to mint | ||
| await token | ||
| ._approve(SPENDER.either, TOKENID_1, ZERO_ACCOUNT) | ||
| .catch(() => undefined); |

Same thing here, nothing's planted
| // `_update` clears approvals only when the source is non-zero, so a | ||
| // planted approval would survive the mint | ||
| await token._mint(OWNER.either, TOKENID_1); | ||
| expect(await token.getApproved(TOKENID_1)).toEqual(ZERO_ACCOUNT); |

Though this test is probably worth including with _unsafeApprove e.g.
_unsafeApprove(...)
_mint(...)
getApproved(...)
