Refactor contracts for advanced exploit protection #27

Description

@Nitya-003

🧩 Problem

As CropChain adds "Marketplace" features (buying/selling batches), we become vulnerable to Reentrancy attacks and Flash-loan price manipulation. If a malicious actor can re-enter a "withdraw" function, they could drain the Mandi's liquidity.

✨ Proposed Change

Perform a deep security refactor of the smart contract suite to implement enterprise-grade protection patterns.

Technical Requirements:

  1. Check-Effect-Interaction (CEI): Refactor every state-changing function to follow the CEI pattern strictly.
  2. Reentrancy Guards: Implement ReentrancyGuard from OpenZeppelin on all external-facing functions.
  3. Oracle Hardening: If we use prices for crops, implement Time-Weighted Average Prices (TWAP) to prevent flash-loan manipulation of crop values.
  4. Emergency Stop: Implement a "Circuit Breaker" (Pausable) that the Admin can trigger if an exploit is detected.

✅ Acceptance Criteria

  • Zero vulnerabilities found during a slither or mythril static analysis scan.
  • Successful "Mock Attack" test cases (simulating reentrancy) that the contract successfully blocks.
  • Documentation of the security architecture in /docs/security.md.

🛠️ Implementation Hint

Use Slither for automated vulnerability detection and Hardhat-Tracer to visualize internal calls during your exploit tests.
