Syncs the VaultClawback spec section with the current implementation in src/libxrpl/tx/transactors/vault/VaultClawback.cpp.

Data Verification (3.7.2.1) — was _None._, now has three items:

  • VaultID = 0 (temMALFORMED)
  • Amount < 0 (temBAD_AMOUNT)
  • Amount specifies XRP (temMALFORMED)

Protocol-Level Failures (3.7.2.2) — significantly reworked:

  • Bug fix: item 4.3 said lsfMPTCanLock — the code checks lsfMPTCanClawback. Corrected.
  • Added: vault owner share-burn case (burn stranded shares when vault has no assets) as a distinct top-level case with its own sub-conditions
  • Added: ambiguous target condition — when issuer == vault owner and no Amount is specified (tecWRONG_ASSET)
  • Added: holder == submitter check for asset clawback (tecNO_PERMISSION)
  • Added: tecPRECISION_LOSS when computed amount rounds to zero
  • Added: tecPATH_DRY for arithmetic overflow
  • Added error codes to all items

State Changes (3.7.3) — rewritten:

  • Split into share-burn case and asset-clawback case
  • Fixed terminology: "depositor" → "Holder"
  • Added: share MPToken deletion when Holder balance reaches zero (for non-owners)
  • Clarified that asset clawback sends recovered assets to the Issuer

- Add Example JSON sections for Vault ledger entry and all transactions
  (VaultCreate, VaultSet, VaultDelete, VaultDeposit, VaultWithdraw,
  VaultClawback, Payment) with real transaction data
- Add invariants for the Vault ledger entry (universal checks) and all
  transaction types derived from the ValidVault invariant checker
- Restructure section 10 from "API" to "RPC: vault_info" matching the
  amendment template format with Request Fields, Response Fields,
  Failure Conditions, Example Request, and Example Response subsections
- Update response fields table with missing fields (Data, Asset.mpt_issuance_id,
  shares.DomainID, shares.MPTokenMetadata) and correct Always Present values
- Update response examples to use proper JSON format with response envelope
- Add section 9.1 Fields for Payment transaction
- Remove Index section and all Return to Index links

- Reorganize top-level sections: Abstract (1), Introduction (2),
  Specification (3), Rationale (4), Security Considerations (5),
  Appendix
- Move all ledger entry, transaction, and RPC sections under
  "3. Specification" as subsections (3.1-3.9)
- Remove "1.1 Overview" heading, merge content into Introduction body
- Renumber Introduction subsections: Terminology (2.1), Actors (2.2),
  Connecting to the Vault (2.3)
- Demote all specification headings by one level with new numbering
- Add Rationale section explaining decoupled vault design
- Rename FAQ section to "Appendix A: FAQ" with A.x numbering
- Fix heading levels for Key Variables and Vault State Update

Remove functional additions (invariants, example JSONs, error codes)
added in this branch and retain only structural changes that bring
the spec into conformance with AMENDMENT_TEMPLATE.md and XLS_TEMPLATE.md.

Convert failure conditions and state changes from numbered lists back
to master's original nested bullet-point format. Keep the Data
Verification / Protocol-Level Failures subsection headers as template
compliance, but use master's original content and structure inside them.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Convert bullet points in Failure Conditions and State Changes sections
to numbered lists with nested sub-numbering, per template requirements.

3.7.3 State Changes branches on who submits ("if the submitter is the vault owner" / "if the submitter is the asset issuer"), but 3.7.2.2 Failure Conditions and the code (VaultClawback.cpp) branch on the asset of Amount (shares vs Vault.Asset). The two agree in the normal case, but when the vault owner is also the asset issuer, both submitter conditions are true and 3.7.3 no longer says which branch applies. The code resolves this by amount.asset(), and it rejects the owner-is-issuer case when Amount is omitted. Could we reword 3.7.3 to branch on the asset of Amount, matching 3.7.2.2 and the implementation?

3.7.3 now branches on the asset of Amount (vault share vs Vault.Asset),
matching 3.7.2.2 and the implementation (VaultClawback.cpp branches on
amount.asset()), instead of "who submitted the transaction" — which is
ambiguous when the vault owner is also the asset issuer.

Addresses review feedback on PR #554.

Agreed — checked VaultClawback.cpp: both preclaim and doApply branch on amount.asset() (shares vs Vault.Asset), not on who the submitter is. The owner-is-issuer edge case is exactly why: Amount disambiguates it, and if Amount is omitted while owner == issuer, preclaim already rejects it as tecWRONG_ASSET (3.7.2.2 item 4) before 3.7.3 is ever reached. Reworded 3.7.3's branch conditions from "if the submitter is the vault owner" / "if the submitter is the asset Issuer" to "if the Amount asset is the vault share" / "if the Amount asset is Vault.Asset", matching 3.7.2.2's phrasing.

1. The `Issuer` account is not the submitter of the transaction.
2. If the `AccountRoot(Issuer)` object does not have `lsfAllowTrustLineClawback` flag set (the asset does not support clawback).
3. If the `AccountRoot(Issuer)` has the `lsfNoFreeze` flag set (the asset cannot be frozen).
4. `Vault.Asset` is not `XRP`, the issuer of `Vault.Asset` is the vault owner, and no `Amount` is specified (ambiguous clawback target). (`tecWRONG_ASSET`)

This check runs first in the code, not fourth. VaultClawback.cpp:101-104 rejects the ambiguous case before either branch is evaluated, and the branches start at :113 and :158. 3.7.3 in this PR already describes it that way ("3.7.2.2 item 4 rejects the ambiguous case ... before 3.7.3 is ever reached"), so moving it to position 2 would make the list agree with the code and with your own text.

5. The computed asset or share amount to clawback is zero. (`tecPRECISION_LOSS`)

5. The `MPToken` object for the `Vault.ShareMPTID` of the `Holder` `AccountRoot` does not exist OR `MPToken.MPTAmount == 0`.
6. Arithmetic overflow during share/asset calculation. (`tecPATH_DRY`)

One more failure isn't covered: if Amount is neither the vault share nor Vault.Asset, preclaim falls through to tecWRONG_ASSET at VaultClawback.cpp:218. #553 spells out the equivalent case as its item 2, so adding it here would keep the two sections symmetric.
