Bridge tracks nonce-consumed mapping

Circle USYC's assessment for RD-F-153 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

CCTP itself implements replay protection at the attestation layer (Circle's infrastructure tracks message consumption server-side). The CrossChainTeller relies on CCTP's replay protection rather than implementing an independent on-chain nonce-consumed mapping. No independent nonce map visible in CrossChainTeller source. Yellow: replay protection exists via CCTP infrastructure layer, but the Teller contract itself does not independently track nonces, creating a dependency on Circle's off-chain infrastructure for this guarantee.
