CREATE2 factory permits same-address redeploy

Compound V3 (Comet)'s assessment for RD-F-144 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

CometFactory deploys new implementations to new addresses each time (standard CREATE, not CREATE2-at-same-address). No selfdestruct + CREATE2 redeploy pattern. Each governance proposal triggers fresh CometFactory.deploy() producing a new contract address. Upgrade history confirms distinct implementation addresses across all upgrades.
