INVESTIGATION NOTE / CONTROLS

Control is a path, not a label.

Why an owner address is the beginning of a control investigation.

Actor → capability → target

An owner getter establishes a reported role. A declared permission describes a possible mechanism. A local impersonation experiment can demonstrate an effect under a specific setup. These are separate evidence states, and the map keeps them separate.

Do not infer the authorization path

A contract at the owner address may use a multisig, a timelock, a module or another mechanism. Code presence alone does not identify its signers or bypass rules. Local impersonation bypasses real authorization and therefore cannot establish how governance would execute the action.

Connect the effect to the record

The archived control view retains before and after values, the role used, the selector, the receipt and trace fingerprint. A demonstrated supply change is evidence of capability in that experiment. It is not a prediction of intent or a claim that every supply-changing path was enumerated.

Scope

Original methodology note for the local product candidate. Linked cases are archived captures. This article does not issue a calibrated asset verdict or a current incident claim.
