Timelock duration on upgrades

Liquity V1 + V2 (LUSD / BOLD)'s assessment for RD-F-032 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

No timelock is correct-by-design for an immutable protocol. No upgrade operations exist that require timelock gating. v2 Governance has no timelock for incentive-direction decisions (low-stakes: redirects 25% of revenue to initiatives, cannot drain collateral). Timelock absence is not a red here — it is architecturally consistent with the immutable design.
