Run a gas-optimization pass and refresh per-op cost benchmarks

[devJaja]

Goal: Lowest possible user cost.
Why it matters: Every op costs XLM; gas-efficient flows make agents economically viable.
Proposed scope:

• Profile each contract with cost snapshots, eliminate redundant storage reads, prefer ledger entry compaction, tables-style storage where valid, update gas_costs.md.
  Acceptance criteria:
• At least 15% average gas reduction vs baseline.
• Benchmarks table updated and CI-verified.
