Chainlink aggregator min/max bound misconfig

Aave v3's assessment for RD-F-060 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Chainlink feeds for major assets have minAnswer/maxAnswer bounds in the aggregator. The ETH/USD floor-bug class risk (minAnswer too high — would report $X even if price dropped below) is known for Chainlink. Specific minAnswer/maxAnswer values for each of the 21+ feeds were not individually verified in this assessment. LRT/LST CAPO wrappers add configuration complexity. Yellow due to incomplete individual feed verification.
