Guardian/pause-keeper distinct from upgrader
StakeWise v3's assessment for RD-F-034 — scored red on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No separate guardian/pauser role distinct from the upgrader. The DAO Treasury Safe is simultaneously the upgrader, the emergency responder (Nov 2025), and holds the SafeSnap veto capability. The SafeSnap veto (documented: DAO can reject malicious proposals) is held by the same Safe that executes them — no independence between cancel role and execute role.
