Comprehensive Testing Infrastructure for Kora Protocol

Summary

This pull request implements a complete testing infrastructure suite addressing four critical testing gaps in the Kora Protocol. It introduces
parameterized state-machine tests, load/stress testing capabilities, mutation testing framework, and event schema snapshot testing—all designed to catch
bugs earlier, ensure system stability under peak load, measure test effectiveness, and protect downstream integrations from schema drift.

📋 Detailed Changes

Issue #679: Parameterized State-Transition Table Tests for Invoice NFT Status

Problem: Invoice NFT state machine lacked comprehensive, organized test coverage for all state transitions. Tests were scattered, making it
difficult to verify the correctness of every (status, transition) pair.

Solution: Created a unified parameterized test suite that systematically validates all state transitions.

Implementation:

• File: contracts/tests/issue_679_invoice_state_transitions.rs (499 lines)
• Coverage:
  • ✅ Valid Transitions (4 tests):
    • Created → Listed (marketplace caller)
    • Listed → Funded (pool caller)
    • Funded → Repaid (pool caller, full repayment)
    • Funded → Defaulted (admin caller, post due-date)
  • ✅ Invalid Status Transitions (14 tests):
    • Created → Funded (skip Listed)
    • Created → Repaid (jump directly)
    • Created → Defaulted (not allowed)
    • Listed → Listed (re-listing)
    • Listed → Repaid (skip Funded)
    • Listed → Defaulted (not allowed)
    • Funded → Funded (re-funding)
    • Repaid → Listed/Funded/Defaulted (terminal state)
    • Defaulted → Listed/Funded/Repaid (terminal state)
  • ✅ Authorization Violations (4 tests):
    • Wrong caller for each transition type
  • ✅ Freeze Enforcement (2 tests):
    • Frozen invoice blocks all transitions
    • Unfrozen invoice resumes transitions

Key Features:

• Single parameterized test pattern eliminates code duplication
• Documents expected behavior in test case definitions
• Validates against docs/invoice-nft.md state machine diagram

Test Results:
Created ──[marketplace]──> Listed ──[pool]──> Funded ──[pool]──> Repaid (terminal)
↓
[admin, post-due] Defaulted (terminal)

Usage:

cargo test --test issue_679_invoice_state_transitions --lib

Issue #680: Load/Stress Test Suite for High-Volume Concurrent Invoice Funding

Problem: Tests only covered small, fixed investor scenarios. System behavior under peak load conditions (500+ concurrent participants) was unknown.
Accounting correctness at scale was unverified.

Solution: Developed configurable load testing framework simulating realistic peak-load scenarios.

Implementation:

- File: contracts/tests/issue_680_load_stress_concurrent_funding.rs (455 lines)
- Test Scenarios:

  a. Single Invoice, Multiple Investors:
     - 50 investors funding one invoice → ✅ Pass
     - 100 investors funding one invoice → ✅ Pass
     - 500+ investors funding one invoice → ✅ Pass (peak load)
  b. Multiple Invoices, Multiple Investors:
     - 100 investors × 5 invoices (500 total positions) → ✅ Pass
     - 200 investors × 10 invoices (2,000 total positions) → ✅ Pass
     - Distributed load across pools
  c. Maximum Scale Test:
     - 500 investors
     - 50 invoices
     - 1,000,000+ total system volume
     - Verifies no resource-limit failures
  d. Accounting Correctness:
     - Yield precision with 500+ investors
     - Payout calculation: (repaid_amount × position) / total_funded
     - Rounding error prevention
  e. Resource Efficiency:
     - Batch funding without exhaustion
     - Storage scaling: linear, not exponential
     - Validates DoS-resistance (Issue B50) findings

Documented Limitations:

- Maximum concurrent investors tested: 500
- Maximum invoices in system: 50
- Maximum total system volume: 1,000,000 units
- Maximum investor funding volume: 10,000,000 units
- Batch funding: up to 100 sequential operations
- Result: All operations complete successfully within resource bounds

Usage:
cargo test --test issue_680_load_stress_concurrent_funding --lib

Issue #681: Mutation Testing Harness to Measure Test Suite Strength

Problem: Line coverage (whether code ran during tests) doesn't indicate whether tests would actually catch a bug. Mutation testing bridges this gap by
introducing small code changes and verifying if tests detect them.

Solution: Integrated cargo-mutants tooling with Make targets and established baseline.

Implementation:

- Core Files:
  - contracts/tests/issue_681_mutation_testing_harness.rs - Framework documentation and setup
  - Makefile - 6+ new mutation testing targets
  - cargo-mutants.toml - Configuration (120s timeout, 4 jobs, 95% baseline)
  - scripts/mutation-test-baseline.sh - Automated baseline generation
- Make Targets:
make mutants                        # Full workspace mutation testing
make mutants-json                   # JSON report
make mutants-html                   # HTML report
make mutants-focus-financing-pool   # High-risk contract focus
make mutants-focus-treasury         # High-risk contract focus
make mutants-baseline               # Generate baseline report
- Configuration:
  - Parallel jobs: 4 (efficiency)
  - Baseline kill-rate target: 95%
  - Focus packages: financing_pool, treasury (critical financial logic)
- Mutation Testing Terminology:
  - Killed: Test suite caught the mutation → good
  - Survived: Test suite missed the mutation → test gap
  - Unviable: Mutation results in non-compiling code
  - Timeout: Mutation causes infinite loop

Scope:
- ✅ Tooling setup (cargo-mutants integration)
- ✅ Make targets for execution
- ✅ Baseline report generation
- ✅ High-risk contract identification (financing_pool, treasury)
- ⏳ Remediation (future: write tests to kill survived mutants)

Baseline Generation:
bash scripts/mutation-test-baseline.sh

Results saved to: mutants-baseline-reports/baseline_TIMESTAMP/
- index.html - Overall workspace results
- financing-pool/index.html - High-risk contract focus
- treasury/index.html - High-risk contract focus

Usage:
# Run full mutation tests
cargo mutants --timeout 120 -j 4

# Or via Make target
make mutants

Issue #682: Snapshot/Golden-File Test Suite for Event Emission Schemas

Problem: Accidental unversioned changes to event structures slip through undetected, silently breaking downstream integrators (SDKs, indexers) without
test failures.

Solution: Created snapshot testing framework that captures event schemas in committed golden files and fails tests on unexpected changes.

Implementation:

- Core Files:
  - contracts/tests/issue_682_event_snapshot_testing.rs (450+ lines)
  - contracts/tests/event_snapshots/README.md (comprehensive guide)
  - 5 golden files (JSON schema definitions)
- Golden Files:
contracts/tests/event_snapshots/
├── invoice_nft_InvoiceMinted.json
├── invoice_nft_InvoiceStatusChanged.json
├── financing_pool_PoolCreated.json
├── financing_pool_PositionCreated.json
└── treasury_FeeCollected.json
- Golden File Format:
{
  "contract": "invoice_nft",
  "event": "InvoiceMinted",
  "schema_version": 1,
  "fields": {
    "invoice_id": "u64",
    "sme": "Address",
    "amount": "i128",
    "currency": "Symbol",
    "due_date": "u64",
    "risk_score": "u32",
    "risk_tier": "RiskTier",
    "ipfs_cid": "String",
    "debtor_hash": "Bytes",
    "metadata_hash": "Bytes",
    "notes": "Option<String>",
    "status": "InvoiceStatus"
  }
}
- Test Behavior:
  a. Emit event from contract
  b. Serialize event structure to JSON
  c. Normalize non-deterministic fields (see below)
  d. Compare against golden file
  e. FAIL if schema changed (catches unintended modifications)
  f. PASS if schema matches (event is stable)
- Normalized Fields (Filtered Before Comparison):
  - timestamp, created_at, updated_at, funded_at, repaid_at
  - ledger_sequence, block_height
  - Addresses (normalized to Address(placeholder))
- Intentional Update Workflow:
# 1. Make intentional schema change in contract code

# 2. Update golden files
UPDATE_GOLDEN_FILES=1 cargo test

# 3. Review changes
git diff contracts/tests/event_snapshots/

# 4. Commit updates
git add contracts/tests/event_snapshots/
git commit -m "refactor: Update event schemas (v2)"

# 5. Verify
cargo test
- Protections:
  - ✅ Accidental field renames → Test fails
  - ✅ Accidental field type changes → Test fails
  - ✅ Unintended schema drift → Caught before production
- Consumer Protection:
  - Prevents breaking changes to SDKs
  - Prevents breaking changes to indexers
  - Prevents breaking changes to analytics systems
  - Ensures stable event contracts for external integration

Usage:

# Run event snapshot tests
cargo test --test issue_682_event_snapshot_testing --lib

# Update golden files (for intentional schema changes)
UPDATE_GOLDEN_FILES=1 cargo test
