Guardian/pause-keeper distinct from upgrader

Evidence summary #

No guardian or pause-keeper role separate from the main admin/owner exists. V2 (Uniswap v2 fork) has no pause function by design. V3/Algebra Factory has no pause mechanism in source. All admin powers are held by the single multisig or deployer EOA without role separation.
