  "abstract": "Observations of debris disks provide a valuable window to investigate the formation and evolution of planetary systems. We present high-contrast JWST/NIRCam observations of CPD-72 2713, a 24 Myr-old star that belongs to the $β$ Pic moving group. We obtained the first scattered-light images of the disk in both F210M and F444W filters, revealing a nearly face-on orientation. Forward modeling yields disk radii of $\\rm 55.4^{+3.0}_{-3.2}\\,AU$ (F210M) and $\\rm 39.1^{+4.6}_ {-2.6}\\,AU$ (F444W), both significantly smaller than the thermal emission radii measured with ALMA and Herschel/PACS. This discrepancy suggests that scattered light traces the inner region of the disk while thermal emission probes the outer regions. Combining the stellar rotation period ($4.47\\pm0.67$ days) from TESS light curves and spectroscopic $v\\sin i_*$, we constrained the stellar inclination to $47^{\\circ}.2^{+11.1}_{-7.7}$ ($1σ$). The minimum star-disk mutual inclinations are $27^{\\circ}.6 _{-8.2} ^{+11.5}\\ (1σ)$ from F210M data and $27^{\\circ}.3 _{-10.9}^{ +12.5}\\ (1σ)$ in F444W data. We find that the minimum star--disk mutual inclination exceeds $10^\\circ$ at the $95\\%$ credible level in both F210M and F444W, suggesting a misalignment between the scattered-light disk and the stellar equatorial plane. We note that variation among published disk inclination measurements and potential systematic uncertainties may affect this probability. With JWST high-contrast imaging, we rule out planets down to $0.3\\ \\rm M_{J}$ at $0.5^{\\prime\\prime}$ and beyond, disfavoring a planet as the driver of the star-disk misalignment.",
