UUPS _authorizeUpgrade correctly permissioned

Compound V3 (Comet)'s assessment for RD-F-021 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Compound V3 uses OpenZeppelin EIP-1967 Transparent Proxy pattern, not UUPS. Upgrades go through CometProxyAdmin (Timelock-owned) calling upgradeTo() on the proxy — no _authorizeUpgrade in any Comet implementation contract.

Methodology #
