fix: agent-vault self-transfer bug, admin idempotency/audit gaps, CI supply-chain hardening

[JamesVictor-O]

Summary

Addresses all four issues currently assigned to me, scoped to concrete, verifiable changes against the actual code in this repo (rather than the infra described in the issue templates, which references tooling — Teleport/Boundary, external SLSA reusable workflows — that isn't part of this codebase).

#413 — Race condition in agent-to-agent float transfers

The issue describes DB-level locking, but agent float balances live in the agent_vault Soroban contract (contracts/agent_vault/src/lib.rs), not Postgres — Soroban executes each contract invocation atomically and sequentially, so there's no multi-threaded race there. Auditing transfer_float for the equivalent on-chain hazard turned up a real bug: it reads from's and to's vaults into two separate structs, then writes each back. When from == to, both reads observe the same starting float and the second write_vault call silently clobbers the first — netting the caller +amount float per call with no corresponding mint or collateral movement. That's an unbounded free-float mint, and it breaks the global solvency invariant the whole contract exists to enforce. Fixed by rejecting from == to before doing any state reads, with a regression test (test_transfer_float_rejects_self_transfer) verifying the float balance is unchanged after a rejected self-transfer.

#414 — Idempotency keys for cash-in/out endpoints

transactionController.ts referenced in the issue only exposes a read-only GET /me today — there's no cash-in/out endpoint yet, and the repo already has a working idempotencyMiddleware (Redis-backed, 24h TTL, replays cached response on duplicate Idempotency-Key) applied to loan/pool/remittance routes. It was missing from the admin endpoints that actually mutate loan/dispute financial state: build-reject, both disputes/:id/resolve routes (API-key and JWT variants), disputes/:id/reject, and check-defaults. A retried request to any of these previously either re-executed the mutation or hit a misleading 404 ("already resolved") on the natural DB guard. Wired up idempotencyMiddleware on all of them.

#466 — Insider threat prevention (audit trail slice)

Full JIT access / session recording infra (Teleport, Boundary) is out of scope for a code PR here. The concrete, already-existing primitive in this repo is the auditLog middleware (records actor, action, target, sanitized payload, IP, status to audit_logs) — it was applied to some admin routes but not the dispute-resolution endpoints, which are exactly the privileged actions an insider-threat control needs visibility into (an admin can confirm or reverse a borrower's loan default). Applied auditLog to all three dispute resolve/reject routes so every privileged financial admin action is now captured in the audit trail. Also scoped the contracts CI job's GITHUB_TOKEN down to least-privilege (contents: read, id-token: write, attestations: write) instead of the workflow default.

#467 — Supply chain security for CI/CD (hermetic builds + provenance)

Two concrete, verifiable steps toward the DoD items that don't require standing up new infrastructure:

• Hermetic builds: third-party Actions in ci.yml/security-gates.yml were pinned to mutable tags/branches (aquasecurity/trivy-action@master was on a branch, not even a tag). Pinned trivy-action, gitleaks-action, dorny/paths-filter, Swatinem/rust-cache, and taiki-e/install-action to commit SHAs, and the semgrep/semgrep container off :latest to a specific release.
• Signed provenance attestations: added actions/attest-build-provenance to the contracts job, generating a signed (Sigstore keyless, via GitHub OIDC) in-toto SLSA provenance attestation for the compiled contract .wasm artifacts. Verifiable with gh attestation verify <file> --repo ExcelDsigN-tech/dukapay.

Full SLSA Level 3 (two-party build approval, reusable SLSA workflows) and the insider-threat program (JIT access, anomaly detection, automated offboarding) remain open — this PR is a real, working slice of both, not a claim of full completion.

Test plan

• cargo test -p agent_vault — 23/23 pass, including new self-transfer regression test
• cargo fmt --all -- --check / cargo clippy -p agent_vault --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings — clean
• npm run lint / npm run typecheck (backend) — clean (pre-existing warnings only, none in touched files)
• npx jest src/tests/idempotency.test.ts — 5/5 pass
• Verified src/__tests__/loanDispute.test.ts fails identically on main before this change (pre-existing DB-mocking gap in that test file, unrelated to this PR)
• YAML-validated both modified workflow files

Closes #413
