★ Sudden admin-rescue/ACL change without discussion
Symbiotic'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 #
CRITICAL STAR FACTOR. Core contracts are non-upgradeable (immutable bytecode) per Paradigm blog and Symbiotic design. GitHub commits review shows no admin-rescue or ACL changes in the core repo. The mutable surface is deposit-cap parameters on DefaultCollateral contracts (Phase 1). Cap increases (June 11 and July 3, 2024) were communicated via X/Twitter and media — publicly announced but via social media, not a structured governance forum or GitHub issue/PR discussion. No silent on-chain changes found. Yellow: informal announcement process rather than absence of announcement.
