<Endpoint method="POST" path="/v1/projects/:projectId/ads/{platform}/ads/:adId/pause" scope="ads:write:lifecycle" phase="1" />

Same shape as [`POST …/campaigns/:id/{pause,resume}`](/docs/api/reference/ads/pause-campaign), at the ad grain. Apple has no ad-level entity (D36) — partner contract never exposes `…/apple/.../ads`.
