TL;DR. Phala parachain is bricked. The team is requesting a Motion to fast-track a Paras.forceSetCurrentCode call to unbrick the parachain.
Phala Network (id: 2035) became a parachain recently. However, during the progressive launching process, the team noticed that there's no way to upgrade the runtime due to the misconfiguration in the genesis runtime. Specifically, the genesis runtime has both sudo and democracy disabled. Without the help from the relaychain side, the parachain will be "bricked" forever -- all the functions need to be enabled by runtime upgrades which is infeasible due to the problem.

More info on the misconfiguration of the runtime, force runtime update on relay chain and team's roadmap can be found in the discussion link: https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/post/1005. Preimage is submitted by the team.
