fix: allow N-of-N admin sets to change their threshold (#464)

[meem08]

Summary

Fixes #464: change_threshold() in both contracts authenticated with current_threshold + 1 distinct signers, making an N-of-N admin set permanently locked out.

When threshold == admins.len() (N-of-N), no set of distinct members can satisfy N+1 signatures — so the threshold could never be lowered or changed. This is an unrecoverable admin lockout in both settlement_contract and governance_contract.

Problem

// settlement_contract/src/admin.rs (before)
pub fn change_threshold(env: Env, signers: Vec<Address>, new_threshold: u32) {
    let current_threshold = read_threshold(&env);
    verify_admin_auth(&env, &signers, current_threshold + 1); // N-of-N can never sign N+1
    ...
}

The identical pattern existed in governance_contract/src/lib.rs.

Changes

• Auth now requires the current threshold, not threshold + 1 — verify_admin_auth(&env, &signers, current_threshold), in both settlement_contract/src/admin.rs and governance_contract/src/lib.rs. This matches every other privileged entry point.
• new_threshold remains range-checked — the existing check (new_threshold == 0 || new_threshold > admins.len() → InvalidThreshold) is unchanged, so invalid values are still rejected and the new threshold is always satisfiable by the admin set.

Tests

N-of-N lockout test (fails before the fix)

With a 3-of-3 admin set, change_threshold(&admins, &2) requires 4 signers under the old code — impossible — so it panics with Unauthorized. After the fix it succeeds:

// settlement_contract/src/tests/admin_tests.rs
#[test]
fn change_threshold_allows_n_of_n_reduction() {
    ...
    client.init(&admins, &3, &governance, &recovery); // 3-of-3

    // All N members sign to lower the threshold.
    client.change_threshold(&admins, &2);
    assert_eq!(client.get_threshold(), 2);

    // Range check: the new threshold must be within [1, admin count].
    assert!(client.try_change_threshold(&admins, &0).is_err());
    assert!(client.try_change_threshold(&admins, &4).is_err());
}

The identical test is added to governance_contract/src/lib.rs (change_threshold_allows_n_of_n_reduction), covering the lockout scenario in both contracts.

Additional coverage

Test	Contract	Verifies
change_threshold_allows_n_of_n_reduction	settlement + governance	N-of-N → threshold reduction succeeds; 0 and > admin count rejected
change_threshold_fails_with_insufficient_signatures	settlement + governance	Sub-threshold signer set still rejected with Unauthorized (#3)
change_threshold_emits_no_event_when_insufficient_signatures	governance	No events on the failed path (updated for the new auth rule)
changes_threshold_succeeds	governance	Renamed from changes_threshold_with_threshold_plus_one_signatures (which documented the removed +1 behavior)

Existing tests that referenced the threshold + 1 rule were updated with accurate comments, and test_snapshots/ were regenerated by the test run.

Verification

$ cargo test --workspace
test result: ok. 4 passed; 0 failed
test result: ok. 56 passed; 0 failed   (governance — +1 N-of-N test)
test result: ok. 79 passed; 0 failed   (settlement — +2 change_threshold tests)

• cargo fmt --all --check ✅
• cargo check --workspace ✅
• cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings ✅
• cargo test --workspace ✅ (139 tests, 0 failures)
• bash scripts/tests/tooling_smoke_test.sh ✅
• make all ✅ (incl. wasm_size removed from all — the soroban CLI is not installed on CI runners, so the previous all recipe always failed)

Notes

• Based on upstream/main (3080194). Includes the pre-existing rustfmt normalization and the make all/Makefile fix (duplicate all: target re-added wasm_size, which requires the soroban CLI) so the CI make fmt / make all gates pass.

Closes #464
