+# OutputValidator
+
+## Overview
+
+The `OutputValidator` contract is a periphery contract that validates swap output amounts and handles positive slippage by transferring excess tokens to a designated validation wallet. It is designed to be called by the Diamond contract after a swap operation to ensure that any excess output tokens are properly managed.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Output Validation**: Assumes actual output amount exceeds expected amount for gas efficiency
+- **Excess Token Management**: Automatically transfers excess tokens to a validation wallet
+- **Dual Token Support**: Handles both native (ETH) and ERC20 tokens
+- **Gas Optimized**: Eliminates conditional checks and assumes positive slippage scenarios (~200-300 gas saved per call)
+- **Comprehensive Test Coverage**: 100% line coverage with 19 test cases
+
+## Contract Logic
+
+### Native Token Flow
+
+1. The calling contract (Diamond) sends native tokens as `msg.value` to the OutputValidator
+2. The contract always returns the expected amount to the calling contract using `LibAsset.transferAsset`
+3. **Assumes positive slippage**: Always transfers excess to validation wallet (handles zero excess by transferring 0 tokens)
+
+### ERC20 Token Flow
+
+1. The calling contract (Diamond) must have sufficient ERC20 token balance
+2. The OutputValidator checks the Diamond's ERC20 balance using `ERC20(tokenAddress).balanceOf(msg.sender)`
+3. **Assumes positive slippage**: Always transfers excess to validation wallet (handles zero excess by transferring 0 tokens)
+4. The Diamond retains the expected amount
+
+> **Gas Optimization**: The contract assumes `actualAmount > expectedAmount` and eliminates conditional checks. If this assumption is violated, the transaction reverts immediately on arithmetic underflow. Zero excess cases are handled gracefully by transferring 0 tokens.
+
+**Note**: The contract successfully handles edge cases where `actualAmount == expectedAmount` by transferring 0 excess tokens, rather than reverting.
+
+## Functions
+
+### `validateOutput`
+
+```solidity
+function validateOutput(
+    address tokenAddress,
+    uint256 expectedAmount,
+    address validationWalletAddress
+) external payable
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `tokenAddress`: The address of the token to validate (use `LibAsset.NULL_ADDRESS` for native tokens)
+- `expectedAmount`: The expected amount of tokens
+- `validationWalletAddress`: The address to send excess tokens to
+
+**Behavior:**
+
+- For native tokens: Receives tokens as `msg.value`, returns expected amount to caller, transfers excess to validation wallet
+- For ERC20 tokens: Checks caller's balance, transfers excess to validation wallet using `transferFrom`
+
+## Errors
+
+The contract does not define custom errors. Error handling is delegated to the underlying libraries:
+
+- **Native token errors**: Handled by `LibAsset.transferAsset()`
+- **ERC20 token errors**: Handled by `SafeTransferLib.safeTransferFrom()`
+- **Input validation**: Handled by `LibAsset` library for null address checks
+
+## Integration
+
+### Example Usage
+
+```solidity
+// For native tokens
+outputValidator.validateOutput{value: actualAmount}(
+    LibAsset.NULL_ADDRESS,
+    expectedAmount,
+    validationWallet
+);
+
+// For ERC20 tokens
+// First approve the OutputValidator to spend tokens
+token.approve(address(outputValidator), actualAmount);
+outputValidator.validateOutput(
+    address(token),
+    expectedAmount,
+    validationWallet
+);
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- The contract inherits from `TransferrableOwnership` for secure ownership management
+- Uses `SafeTransferLib` for safe ERC20 operations
+- Custom errors provide gas-efficient error handling
+- Input validation leverages `LibAsset.transferAsset` for null address checks
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+The contract includes comprehensive test coverage with **100% line coverage** including:
+
+### **Core Functionality Tests**
+
+- Native token validation with excess (positive slippage scenarios)
+- ERC20 token validation with excess (positive slippage scenarios)
+- Edge cases (zero expected amount, insufficient allowance)
+
+### **Integration Tests**
+
+- Complete DEX swap + OutputValidator + Bridge flows
+- ERC20 → ERC20 swap with positive slippage
+- ERC20 → Native swap with positive slippage
+- Native → ERC20 swap with positive slippage
+
+### **Negative Test Cases**
+
+- Insufficient allowance scenarios
+- Native transfer failures to invalid addresses
+- Zero value with non-zero expected amount
+- **No excess scenarios** (contract handles gracefully by transferring 0 tokens)
+
+### **Test Statistics**
+
+- **19 test cases** covering all code paths
+- **All branches covered** including edge cases
+- **Realistic scenarios** using MockDEX and Diamond integration
+
+> **Note**: Coverage tools may mark comment lines as uncovered, but all executable code lines achieve 100% coverage.
+
+## Deployment
+
+The contract is deployed using the standard deployment script pattern and extracts the owner address from the global configuration file. The contract is automatically included in periphery contract deployments and is configured in `script/deploy/resources/deployRequirements.json`.
+
+### **Deployment Scripts**
+
+- **Standard**: `script/deploy/Periphery/DeployOutputValidator.s.sol`
+- **zkSync**: `script/deploy/zksync/DeployOutputValidator.zksync.s.sol`
+
+Both scripts follow the established deployment patterns and integrate with the CREATE3Factory for predictable contract addresses.

 ## Overview
 
-The `OutputValidator` contract is a periphery contract that validates swap output amounts and handles positive slippage by transferring excess tokens to a designated validation wallet. It is designed to be called by the Diamond contract after a swap operation to ensure that any excess output tokens are properly managed.
+The `OutputValidator` contract is a periphery contract that validates swap output amounts and transfers excess tokens to a designated validation wallet. It is designed to be called by the Diamond contract after a swap operation to ensure that any excess output tokens are properly distributed.
 
 ## Key Features
 
-- **Output Validation**: Assumes actual output amount exceeds expected amount for gas efficiency
-- **Excess Token Management**: Automatically transfers excess tokens to a validation wallet
-- **Dual Token Support**: Handles both native (ETH) and ERC20 tokens
-- **Gas Optimized**: Eliminates conditional checks and assumes positive slippage scenarios (~200-300 gas saved per call)
-- **Comprehensive Test Coverage**: 100% line coverage with 19 test cases
+- **Excess Distribution Management**: Intelligently distributes excess tokens to validation wallet
+- **Dual Token Support**: Handles both native (ETH) and ERC20 tokens with separate functions
+- **No Ownership**: Stateless design without ownership requirements
+- **Gas Optimized**: Minimal validation for maximum efficiency
 
 ## Contract Logic
 
 ### Native Token Flow
 
-1. The calling contract (Diamond) sends native tokens as `msg.value` to the OutputValidator
-2. The contract always returns the expected amount to the calling contract using `LibAsset.transferAsset`
-3. **Assumes positive slippage**: Always transfers excess to validation wallet (handles zero excess by transferring 0 tokens)
+1. The calling contract (Diamond) sends a portion of native tokens as `msg.value` for excess handling
+2. **Calculates excess**: `excessAmount = (contract_balance + msg.value) - expectedAmount`
+3. **Smart distribution**:
+   - If `excessAmount >= msg.value`: All `msg.value` goes to validation wallet (contract balance covers expected amount)
+   - If `excessAmount < msg.value`: Sends `excessAmount` to validation wallet, returns `msg.value - excessAmount` to sender
+4. **User receives expected amount** through the normal swap flow, not from this contract
 
 ### ERC20 Token Flow
 
-1. The calling contract (Diamond) must have sufficient ERC20 token balance
-2. The OutputValidator checks the Diamond's ERC20 balance using `ERC20(tokenAddress).balanceOf(msg.sender)`
-3. **Assumes positive slippage**: Always transfers excess to validation wallet (handles zero excess by transferring 0 tokens)
-4. The Diamond retains the expected amount
+1. The calling contract (Diamond) must have sufficient ERC20 token balance and approve this contract
+2. **Calculates excess**: `excessAmount = ERC20(tokenAddress).balanceOf(msg.sender) - expectedAmount`
+3. **Transfer excess**: If `excessAmount > 0`, transfers excess tokens to validation wallet via `transferFrom`
+4. **Safety checks**: Validates wallet address and handles zero excess gracefully
 
-> **Gas Optimization**: The contract assumes `actualAmount > expectedAmount` and eliminates conditional checks. If this assumption is violated, the transaction reverts immediately on arithmetic underflow. Zero excess cases are handled gracefully by transferring 0 tokens.
+> **Design Philosophy**: The contract handles excess distribution only. Users receive their `expectedAmount` through the primary swap mechanism, while this contract ensures proper excess management without holding funds permanently.
 
-**Note**: The contract successfully handles edge cases where `actualAmount == expectedAmount` by transferring 0 excess tokens, rather than reverting.
+**Note**: The contract reverts on arithmetic underflow if actual amounts are less than expected, providing fail-safe behavior.

 ## Security Considerations
 
-- The contract inherits from `TransferrableOwnership` for secure ownership management
-- Uses `SafeTransferLib` for safe ERC20 operations
-- Custom errors provide gas-efficient error handling
-- Input validation leverages `LibAsset.transferAsset` for null address checks
+- **Stateless Design**: No ownership or state storage reduces attack surface
+- **Safe Transfers**: Uses `SafeTransferLib` for safe ERC20 operations and `LibAsset` for native transfers
+- **Input Validation**: ERC20 function validates wallet addresses; native transfers rely on `LibAsset` validation
+- **Fail-Safe Behavior**: Reverts on arithmetic underflow when actual < expected amounts
+- **No Fund Retention**: Contract never retains funds permanently, minimizing risk

 ## Overview
 
-The `OutputValidator` contract is a periphery contract that validates swap output amounts and transfers excess tokens to a designated validation wallet. It is designed to be called by the Diamond contract after a swap operation to ensure that any excess output tokens are properly distributed.
+The `OutputValidator` contract is a periphery contract that validates swap output amounts and transfers excess tokens to a designated validation wallet. It is designed to be called by the Diamond contract after a swap operation to ensure that any excess output tokens are properly distributed. The contract inherits from `WithdrawablePeriphery`, providing token recovery functionality for the contract owner.
+
+**Key Design Philosophy**: This contract is designed to not hold any funds, which is why it's safe to work with full balances. Accidentally stuck funds can easily be recovered using the provided public functions.
 
 ## Key Features
 
 - **Excess Distribution Management**: Intelligently distributes excess tokens to validation wallet
 - **Dual Token Support**: Handles both native (ETH) and ERC20 tokens with separate functions
-- **No Ownership**: Stateless design without ownership requirements
-- **Gas Optimized**: Minimal validation for maximum efficiency
+- **Owner-based Access Control**: Inherits from WithdrawablePeriphery for secure token management
+- **Gas Optimized**: Minimal validation for maximum efficiency (does not validate expected amounts to save gas)
+- **Token Recovery**: Owner can withdraw accidentally stuck tokens
+- **No Fund Retention**: Contract never retains funds permanently, minimizing risk

+> **Design Philosophy**: The contract handles excess distribution only. Users receive their `expectedAmount` through the primary swap mechanism, while this contract ensures proper excess management without holding funds permanently. The contract does not validate expected amounts to save gas, and tokens are never lost - even if amount == 0, all tokens will be forwarded to the validation wallet.
 
-**Note**: The contract reverts on arithmetic underflow if actual amounts are less than expected, providing fail-safe behavior.
+**Note**: The case where `outputAmount < expectedAmount` should not be possible since the diamond ensures that `minAmountOut` is received from a swap and that same value is used as `expectedAmount` for this call.

+**Parameters:**
+
+- `assetId`: The address of the token to withdraw (address(0) for native tokens)

+- `amount`: The amount of tokens to withdraw
+
+**Behavior:**
+
+- Allows the contract owner to withdraw accidentally stuck tokens
+- Supports both native and ERC20 token withdrawals
+- Emits `TokensWithdrawn` event on successful withdrawal
+
 ## Errors
 
-The contract does not define custom errors. Error handling is delegated to the underlying libraries:
+The contract inherits errors from WithdrawablePeriphery and defines custom errors:
 
+- **UnAuthorized**: Thrown when non-owner tries to withdraw tokens
+- **InvalidCallData**: Thrown when validation wallet address is zero

 ## Security Considerations
 
-- **Stateless Design**: No ownership or state storage reduces attack surface
+- **Owner-based Access Control**: Only the contract owner can withdraw stuck tokens
 - **Safe Transfers**: Uses `SafeTransferLib` for safe ERC20 operations and `LibAsset` for native transfers

-2. **Calculates excess**: `excessAmount = (contract_balance + msg.value) - expectedAmount`
+2. **Calculates excess**: `excessAmount = (msg.sender.balance + msg.value) - expectedAmount`
 3. **Smart distribution**:
-   - If `excessAmount >= msg.value`: All `msg.value` goes to validation wallet (contract balance covers expected amount)
-   - If `excessAmount < msg.value`: Sends `excessAmount` to validation wallet, returns `msg.value - excessAmount` to sender
-4. **User receives expected amount** through the normal swap flow, not from this contract
+   - If `excessAmount >= msg.value`: All `msg.value` goes to validation wallet
+   - If `excessAmount < msg.value`: Sends `excessAmount` to validation wallet, returns `msg.value - excessAmount` to sender, if anything left
 
 **Note**: This function requires `msg.value` to work as expected, otherwise it cannot determine how much excess exists.

 - **Inheritance Security**: Inherits proven security patterns from WithdrawablePeriphery
 
-## Test Coverage

-The contract includes comprehensive test coverage including:
-
-### **WithdrawablePeriphery Functionality Tests**
-
-- Constructor sets owner correctly
-- Owner can withdraw native tokens
-- Owner can withdraw ERC20 tokens
-- Non-owner cannot withdraw tokens
-- Owner cannot withdraw to zero address
-
-### **Core Functionality Tests**
-
-- Native token validation with excess (positive slippage scenarios)
-- ERC20 token validation with excess (positive slippage scenarios)
-- Edge cases (zero expected amount, insufficient allowance)
-
-### **Integration Tests**
-
-- Complete DEX swap + OutputValidator + Bridge flows
-- ERC20 → ERC20 swap with positive slippage
-- ERC20 → Native swap with positive slippage
-- Native → ERC20 swap with positive slippage
-
-### **Negative Test Cases**
-
-- Insufficient allowance scenarios
-- Native transfer failures to invalid addresses
-- Zero value with non-zero expected amount
-- **No excess scenarios** (contract handles gracefully by transferring 0 tokens)
-
-### **Edge Case Tests**
-
-- Maximum uint256 values
-- Zero amounts and balances
-- Various slippage scenarios
-
-### **Test Statistics**
-
-- **Comprehensive test coverage** covering all code paths
-- **All branches covered** including edge cases
-- **Realistic scenarios** using MockDEX and Diamond integration
-- **100% unit test coverage** as per project requirements
-
 ## Deployment
 
 The contract is deployed using the standard deployment script pattern with an owner parameter. The contract is automatically included in periphery contract deployments and is configured in `script/deploy/resources/deployRequirements.json`.

 ### Native Token Flow
 
-1. The calling contract (Diamond) sends a portion of native tokens as `msg.value` for excess handling
-2. **Calculates excess**: `excessAmount = (msg.sender.balance + msg.value) - expectedAmount`
-3. **Smart distribution**:
-   - If `excessAmount >= msg.value`: All `msg.value` goes to validation wallet
-   - If `excessAmount < msg.value`: Sends `excessAmount` to validation wallet, returns `msg.value - excessAmount` to sender, if anything left
+1. The calling contract (Diamond) forwards some or all native output as `msg.value` for excess handling.
+2. **Compute pre-call balance and excess**:
+   - `preCallBalance = msg.sender.balance + msg.value` (caller’s balance before invoking this function)
+   - `excessAmount = preCallBalance - expectedAmount`
+3. **Distribution**:
+   - Sends `min(excessAmount, msg.value)` to the validation wallet.
+   - Refunds the remainder `msg.value - min(excessAmount, msg.value)` back to the caller.
 
-**Note**: This function requires `msg.value` to work as expected, otherwise it cannot determine how much excess exists.
+Integration note: If you intend to forward all excess, ensure `msg.value >= excessAmount`; otherwise any residual excess stays with the caller by design.

+- Calculates pre-call balance as `preCallBalance = msg.sender.balance + msg.value` and excess as `excess = preCallBalance - expectedAmount`
+- Distributes `min(excess, msg.value)` to the validation wallet and refunds the remainder to the caller
 - Designed for scenarios where `msg.value` represents a portion sent for excess handling

 > **Design Philosophy**: The contract handles excess distribution only. Users receive their `expectedAmount` through the primary swap mechanism, while this contract ensures proper excess management without holding funds permanently. The contract does not validate expected amounts to save gas, and tokens are never lost - even if amount == 0, all tokens will be forwarded to the validation wallet.
