The default behavior in Governor is to only allow the proposer to cancel when the proposal is still pending. I don't think we want to allow proposers to cancel after that.

Also, if we want to keep the default behavior, wouldn't it be better to just?:

Suggested change
// if there is no proposal guardian
// ... only the proposer can cancel
// ... no restriction on when the proposer can cancel
uint256 proposalId = getProposalId(targets, values, calldatas, descriptionHash);
address proposer = proposalProposer(proposalId);
if (caller != proposer) revert GovernorOnlyProposer(caller);
return _cancel(targets, values, calldatas, descriptionHash);
return super.cancel(targets, values, calldatas, descriptionHash);

This would simplify this function imo

return super.cancel(targets, values, calldatas, descriptionHash); is already what we do in the last case ... so what you are proposing would be simplified further by doing

if (guardian == caller) {
    // if there is a proposal guardian, and the caller is the proposal guardian
    // ... just cancel
    return _cancel(targets, values, calldatas, descriptionHash);
} else {
    // The caller is not the proposal guardian
    // ... apply default behavior
    return super.cancel(targets, values, calldatas, descriptionHash);
}            

Note that it would change the behavior! What we have right now is:

  • if there is no guardian, the proposer can cancel at any point
  • if there is a guardian, the guardian can cancel at any point
  • if there is a guardian, the proposer can only cancel during the propose phase (before vote starts)

The changes would make it that if there is no guardian, the proposer is still restricted to only canceling during the propose phase.

What behavior do we want ?

I shared a proposal down below. My main concern is that we're missing supper in the branches where there's no guardian and when there's a guardian.

For example, in this code, users could override _validateCancel and call super to 1) add the guardian behavior and 2) extend the canceler permissions:

function _validateCancel(...) internal virtual {
    // Current logic
    uint256 proposalId = hashProposal(targets, values, calldatas, descriptionHash);
    _validateStateBitmap(proposalId, _encodeStateBitmap(ProposalState.Pending));
    if (_msgSender() != proposalProposer(proposalId)) {
        revert GovernorOnlyProposer(_msgSender());
    }
}

...


function cancel(...) public virtual returns (uint256) {
  _validateCancel();
  return _cancel(targets, values, calldatas, descriptionHash);
}

In this solution, we will not call super for _validateCancel, which may also skip side effects. I don't see how it's materially better and I'm weary of adding another internal function.

_validateCancel could be view though

} else if (guardian == caller) {
// if there is a proposal guardian, and the caller is the proposal guardian
// ... just cancel
return _cancel(targets, values, calldatas, descriptionHash);
} else {
// if there is a proposal guardian, and the caller is not the proposal guardian
// ... apply default behavior
return super.cancel(targets, values, calldatas, descriptionHash);
}
}

/**

function proposalGuardian() public view virtual returns (address) {
return _proposalGuardian;
}

/**

*

function setProposalGuardian(address newProposalGuardian) public virtual onlyGovernance {
_setProposalGuardian(newProposalGuardian);
}

/**

function _setProposalGuardian(address newProposalGuardian) internal virtual {
emit ProposalGuardianSet(_proposalGuardian, newProposalGuardian);
_proposalGuardian = newProposalGuardian;
}
