rubric v1.7.0

Sudden admin-rescue/ACL change without discussion

Stake DAO's assessment for RD-F-123 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

SDGP-67 (signer replacement PumpkingWok to qqqqqd, posted 2026-05-05) is the primary ACL-change event in the 180-day window. It followed full governance process: 3-day feedback period, 7-day Snapshot vote, 15% quorum requirement, public forum discussion, applicant self-attestation. GitHub commit log (last 30 commits) shows no admin/ACL/owner changes without corresponding tickets. Governance multisig Etherscan shows operational exec-transaction pattern with no sudden undiscussed role-change events. Yellow for residual structural ambiguity: (1) Aragon App 0x82e631fe admin authority unresolved — if it has remaining on-chain admin power, changes there could bypass Snapshot+multisig without appearing in governance forum; (2) timelock delay discrepancy unresolved. Not red — no evidence of an actual undiscussed ACL change found.
