Circuit breaker on price deviation

Yearn Finance's assessment for RD-F-057 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

No circuit breaker at vault core level — none needed because no external oracle in the vault pricePerShare path. At strategy level, V3 strategy framework offers an optional HealthCheck contract to prevent inaccurate loss/profit reporting, but this is not mandatory per framework design. Docs state: a health check can prevent automated reports from reporting losses/excessive profits that may not be accurate. No systematic deviation circuit breaker across all strategies. Yellow: optional protection available, not uniformly enforced.
