**Component:** `ghost-dao-interface` @ `a911859`, `src/hooks/bonds/index.js:275-294` (`purchaseBond`), `src/containers/Bond/components/BondConfirmModal.jsx:111-120`.

**Description:** The bond purchase UI exposes a recipient address field. `BondConfirmModal` passes `user: recipientAddress` and `sender` (the connected wallet) as separate parameters to `purchaseBond`, but `purchaseBond` passes `account: user` to `executeOnChainTransaction`. When the recipient differs from the connected wallet, the transaction is prepared from an account the wallet does not control, and `@wagmi/core` 2.17 `getConnectorClient` throws for unauthorized accounts before anything is signed. The advertised feature is dead: any custom recipient fails with “Bond transaction failed”.

**Impact:** Broken advertised feature. No fund loss: it fails loudly before signing.

**Reproduction:** Code read of the call chain above; set a recipient address different from the connected wallet and observe the pre-sign failure.

**Severity: Low.** Reason: no fund loss, fails loudly, but a visible setting is non-functional.

**Recommendation:** Pass `account: sender` so the connected wallet signs and the bond vests to the recipient.

**Verification:** VERIFIED (code read, coordinator-verified).

Thank you for your report!

It looks like you are right here. The arguments to the function are messed up. It should have `recipientAddress` as a separate argument, while passing both in order to use them correctly.
