* WARNING: This contract does not inherit from {ITransparentUpgradeableProxy}, and the admin function is implicitly
* implemented using a custom call-routing mechanism in `_fallback`. Consequently, the compiler will not produce an
* ABI for this contract. Also, if you inherit from this contract and add additional functions, the compiler will not

* NOTE: The real interface of this proxy is that defined in `ITransparentUpgradeableProxy`. This contract does not
* inherit from that interface, and instead the admin functions are implicitly implemented using a custom dispatch
* mechanism in `_fallback`. Consequently, the compiler will not produce an ABI for this contract. This is necessary to
* fully implement transparency without decoding reverts caused by selector clashes between the proxy and the
* implementation.

* WARNING: It is not recommended to extend this contract to add additional external functions. If you do so, the compiler
