Sudden admin-rescue/ACL change without discussion

Lista 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 #

[★ CRITICAL FACTOR] Profile §11 identifies 3 transactions on April 8, 2025 on the Lending TimeLock: two GRANT_ROLE and one REVOKE_ROLE from creator address 0xd7e38800.... GitHub issues list for lista-dao-contracts returned empty (no issues at all, not selective absence). No Snapshot proposal or public community discussion corresponding to these April 8, 2025 role grants was located. Scoring yellow (not red) because: (a) the transactions appear to be TimeLock initialization/setup (granting PROPOSER_ROLE + EXECUTOR_ROLE to multisig, revoking deployer's admin role), not an emergency admin-rescue of live-TVL contracts; (b) the protocol's apparent practice of zero GitHub issues means absence of discussion is structural, not targeted suppression; (c) the change is consistent with normal TimeLock deployment pattern. If any subsequent post-deploy ACL change on live-TVL contracts occurs without Snapshot or public discussion, this factor should flip to red.
