Bridge validator co-hosting

M^0's assessment for RD-F-150 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Wormhole: the 19 guardian operators include Jump Crypto, Certus One, Everstake, P2P.org, Figment, Chorus One, and others — distributed across different organizations and geographies. Risk exists that some share cloud infrastructure but the set is sufficiently diverse. Hyperlane validator co-hosting not assessed for M^0-specific ISM. Overall: acceptable diversity for Wormhole, partial assessment gap for Hyperlane.
