Over the weekend, the studio was still mapping the steps into Final Form. The previous day’s bridge incident forced the security team to distinguish what players actually needed from dependencies retained merely for convenience.
The security team reviewed its cross-chain dependencies and reached a rule: avoid them wherever possible. Some worried that removing a route would make instructions harder to follow; others argued that putting optional bridging in the normal flow would expose players to risks the studio could not clearly explain. They first marked the disputed steps.
The review did not resolve every question, but it established a choice to guide the work. Next the team needed to align product instructions with the actual flow, deciding which routes could bypass cross-chain steps and which still required a clear explanation.
