+# BUG-0004: Unguarded size_t overflow in grow_pool growth-size computation
+
+## Summary
+
+In the dynamic-growth slow path, `grow_pool` computed
+`add = total * (grow_factor_ - 1)` **before** any overflow check, then validated
+`add * block_size_` with `would_overflow_product`. The first multiplication could
+itself wrap `size_t`, so the subsequent guard validated an already-wrapped `add`.
+
+## Environment
+
+- **Affected versions:** `>=0.5.0,<1.1.2` (dynamic growth landed in Milestone 5).
+- **Configuration:** dynamic pool (`grow_factor_ >= 2`); `NONE` or `MUTEX`
+  (`LOCKFREE` never grows, ADR-0024 §2, so `grow_pool` is not compiled there).
+
+## Reproduction
+
+Not reachable at runtime: `total` is the accumulated live block count, so
+`total * (grow_factor_ - 1)` only overflows when `total` approaches
+`SIZE_MAX / (grow_factor_ - 1)` — far more blocks than any machine can back. The
+defect is found by inspection, not by a test that can actually allocate that much.
+
+## Expected vs. actual
+
+- **Expected:** every product that feeds an allocation size is overflow-checked
+  before use, as `memory_pool_create` does for `block_size * block_count`.
+- **Actual:** `total * (grow_factor_ - 1)` was computed unchecked; only the downstream
+  `add * block_size_` product was guarded — against a possibly-wrapped `add`.
+
+## Root cause
+
+A missing overflow guard on the growth-count multiplication, inconsistent with the
+meticulous overflow handling on the create path (ADR-0009 §3).
+
+## Impact
+
+Low / latent: RAM is exhausted long before `total` reaches the overflow boundary, so
+in practice growth fails benignly first. It is a correctness/consistency gap, not a
+reachable fault.
+
+## Fix / workaround
+
+Added `if (would_overflow_product(total, grow_factor_ - 1)) return false;` before
+computing `add`, mirroring the create-path guard — on overflow the pool falls back to
+fixed-mode exhaustion (returns `false`), exactly as for the existing guards. No test
+is added because the condition is not runtime-reachable through the public API.
+
