rubric v1.7.0

Rescue/emergencyWithdraw without timelock

Liquity V1 + V2 (LUSD / BOLD)'s assessment for RD-F-041 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

No rescue or emergencyWithdraw function exists in any v1 or v2 core contract. Immutable contracts cannot be upgraded to add such functions. No admin key exists to call such a function. The factor presupposes an admin-callable drain function — structurally impossible in Liquity's design.
