External keeper/relayer not redundant

Evidence summary #

External keeper/relayer dependency not redundant | Token Bridge Relayer: relies on an off-chain relayer network to submit signed VAAs to destination chains. Wormhole's Standard Relayer (0x27428DD2d3DD32A4D7f7C497eAaa23130d894911, Ethereum) is the protocol-operated relayer. Users can alternatively self-relay by submitting VAAs manually — relay is not the sole mechanism (VAAs are publicly available, so any actor can submit them).
