Reentrancy vulnerability fix

[AbolareRoheemah]

Closes #18
Implemented Checks-Effects-Interactions (CEI) ordering in payout() and added a reentrancy guard (IsExecutingPayout) checked in both payout() and contribute(), per the security requirements.

Fixed two test failures surfaced when validating against a mock malicious token.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Added protection against reentrant payout and savings operations.
  • Ensured account and cycle updates are completed before token transfers.
  • Improved recipient account activity tracking during payouts.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for malicious transfer callbacks, reentrant payout attempts, and payout state consistency.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The contract adds an IsExecutingPayout guard, applies Checks-Effects-Interactions ordering to state updates and token transfers, and adds a malicious token mock with tests for committed payout effects and blocked reentrant calls.

Changes

Reentrancy protection and CEI flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Payout execution guard contracts/src/lib.rs	The contract adds and initializes IsExecutingPayout. Selected member, contribution, withdrawal, and cycle operations reject execution while payout is active.
Checks-effects-interactions updates contracts/src/lib.rs	contribute, payout, and withdraw_savings commit state and TTL changes before token transfers. payout sets the guard before effects, transfers last, and clears the guard after the transfer returns.
Malicious token validation contracts/src/test.rs	Tests use a callback-capable token mock to verify committed payout state, blocked reentrant payout() calls, and blocked contributions while the guard is set.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 67618

The payout guard is activated only after an external token balance call, allowing a malicious token callback to re-enter payout before protection is enabled. This leaves a concrete security flaw in the current fix, so the PR should not merge until the ordering is corrected.

Add a failing-transfer rollback test.

MaliciousToken::transfer has no failure branch, so the current tests do not cover rollback after payout() reaches the token transfer. Add a failure mode and capture the error with try_payout; then assert that get_next_payout_recipient() and has_received_payout(&member) remain unchanged.
