Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Auth Bypass: Multiple fixes address missing authorization checks in ICA handshake, relay, and address generation, indicating a systemic weakness in enforcing channel state and connection scoping.
Denial of Service: Fee distribution and escrow logic had multiple edge cases leading to fund lockup, partial distribution, or panics, requiring lock mechanisms and refunds.
Replay Attack: Replay protection was missing on timeout/acknowledgement handling and WriteAcknowledgement, allowing re-execution of packet callbacks.
