fix(contract): standardize public entry point auth gates and access g…

[paud1615-tech]

Problem

Public methods in lib.rs used inconsistent patterns for authorization checks and pause gating. Some entry points
delegated auth to inner modules without enforcing it at the boundary, others were missing guards entirely, and one
internal helper was accidentally exposed as a callable contract entry point. This created a fragile and
unpredictable security surface:

• Any caller could invoke set_privacy on an uninitialized contract without the owner ever authorizing —
  guard_initialized ran first but the owner.require_auth() call only existed deep inside privacy::set_privacy,
  leaving a gap in the lib.rs boundary
• create_escrow had no guard at all — it incremented the global escrow counter on any call, including against an
  uninitialized deployment
• cleanup_stealth_escrow called the raw require_initialized helper directly instead of the canonical
  guard_initialized wrapper, skipping reentrancy protection
• is_feature_paused was mistakenly exposed as a pub contract entry point — external clients could call it as if it
  were a query method when it is purely an internal storage helper

Changes

lib.rs

set_privacy — Added owner.require_auth() at the lib.rs entry point boundary, before the feature-pause check. The
auth now happens in the correct order: guard_initialized → owner.require_auth() → pause check → delegate to
privacy::set_privacy.

// Before
pub fn set_privacy(env: Env, owner: Address, enabled: bool) -> Result<(), RustAcademyError> {
admin::guard_initialized(&env)?;
if is_feature_paused(&env, PauseFlag::SetPrivacy) { ... }
privacy::set_privacy(&env, owner, enabled) // auth was only here
}

// After
pub fn set_privacy(env: Env, owner: Address, enabled: bool) -> Result<(), RustAcademyError> {
admin::guard_initialized(&env)?;
owner.require_auth(); // ← enforced at entry point boundary
if storage::is_feature_paused(&env, PauseFlag::SetPrivacy) { ... }
privacy::set_privacy(&env, owner, enabled)
}

create_escrow — Gated with guard_initialized and changed return type to Result<u64, RustAcademyError> so callers on
an uninitialized deployment receive a proper error instead of silently mutating state.

// Before — completely unguarded
pub fn create_escrow(env: Env, _from: Address, _to: Address, _amount: u64) -> u64 {
increment_escrow_counter(&env)
}

// After
pub fn create_escrow(env: Env, _from: Address, _to: Address, _amount: u64) -> Result<u64, RustAcademyError> {
admin::guard_initialized(&env)?;
Ok(increment_escrow_counter(&env))
}

cleanup_stealth_escrow — Replaced the raw require_initialized call with guard_initialized, matching every other
initialization-gated entry point and picking up reentrancy protection.

// Before
admin::require_initialized(&env)?;

// After
admin::guard_initialized(&env)?;

is_feature_paused — Removed as a pub contract entry point. It is an internal storage module helper and must not be
callable by external clients. All internal callers now reference storage::is_feature_paused directly.
