Summary

Resolves four open issues in a single atomic branch: SEC-21 (#259), SEC-23 (#261), TEST-35 (#258), SEC-22 (#260).

---

#259 SEC-21 — Re-initialization guard in initialize

The assert!(!env.storage().instance().has(&DataKey::Admin), "already initialized") guard was already present in lib.rs. This PR:

• Marks LOW-02 as Resolved in audits/remediation.md (was still marked Open)
• Confirms the two existing tests that cover this path: test_initialize_cannot_be_called_twice (panics with "already initialized") and test_initialize_emits_event

#261 SEC-23 — Allowance pre-check before token transfer in top_up

top_up previously called token_client.transfer() (push pattern). This PR switches to a pull pattern with an explicit pre-check:

let allowed = token_client.allowance(&employer, &this);
assert!(
    allowed >= amount,
    "insufficient allowance: employer must approve the stream contract for at least the top-up amount"
);
token_client.transfer_from(&this, &employer, &this, &amount);

Why this order matters: the check fires before any state mutation, so a stream's deposit is never partially updated on a failing call.

New tests:

• test_top_up_insufficient_allowance_rejected — zero allowance → panics with "insufficient allowance"
• test_top_up_exact_allowance_succeeds — exact allowance → deposit increases correctly

Updated tests: test_top_up_deposit_overflow_uses_err_overflow and test_event_topped_up now call token.approve() before top_up to match the new pull-pattern requirement. Stale SDK snapshot for the overflow test removed (auth structure changed).

#258 TEST-35 — Golden-file test for full stream lifecycle

Adds a deterministic JSON golden file covering all StreamStatus transitions:

create → top_up → withdraw → pause → resume → cancel

• Golden file: contracts/stream/test_snapshots/lifecycle/full_lifecycle.json
• Test: test_full_stream_lifecycle_golden — compares serialised stream state (numeric/boolean/status fields only; addresses excluded for stability) against the committed file
• Fails on any future schema drift; regenerate with:

  UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 cargo test --package paystream-stream test_full_stream_lifecycle_golden

• CONTRIBUTING.md updated with the regeneration workflow under Updating the lifecycle golden file

---

#260 SEC-22 — Delta audit engagement confirmed

• audits/remediation.md: LOW-02 status → ✅ Resolved; delta audit reference updated from SEC-07 → SEC-22; mainnet blocker updated
• audits/2026-next-audit-scope.md: first two acceptance criteria checked (scope shared, engagement confirmed); timeline populated with Trail of Bits continuity engagement dates (audit start 2026-11-03, report 2026-11-28)

---

What was tested

• cargo check --package paystream-stream error count matches main (107 pre-existing errors from unrelated open PRs; zero new errors introduced)
