My non- pro opinion is that you look ok, from what can be seen in the pictures. I don’t see any cracks, which is good. Rust ( oxidation) happens due to heat in the firebox. How old is the stove?
Does it seem to run ok?

It wasn’t overfired,
I think it was in the first year. We discussed the baffle distortion back then. Since then, with better operation, it has been run well by all reports.

Oh it absolutely was. You seem to have it under control now. But the inside of your stove looks used harder than most i see that are 20 years old.
 
The overfiring was evident with the first posting on this stove. The top paint clearly showed it had gotten too hot. Fortunately, these are tough stoves and burning habits have changed. That's all good. It should continue to burn well now for many years.

Thank you did you see the video ?
 
That looks like a normal burn.
