Overview

This PR turns client cancellation of a Funded escrow into a request → notice period → finalize flow, giving the freelancer a 3-day window to dispute or deliver before funds are refunded. Created escrows keep the existing instant-cancel behaviour since nothing is at stake for the freelancer.

Changes

📝 Escrow contract (contracts/escrow/src/lib.rs)

• [ADD] CANCEL_NOTICE_SECS: u64 = 3 * 86_400 constant.
• [ADD] request_cancel(env, id) — client auth; escrow must be Funded; stores DataKey::CancelRequestedAt(u64); second request returns CancelAlreadyRequested. Emits ("cncl_req", id) → effective_at.
• [ADD] finalize_cancel(env, id) — client auth; requires now >= requested_at + notice else NoticePeriodActive; performs the refund exactly like the previous cancel_contract.
• [ADD] withdraw_cancel(env, id) — client auth; removes the request. Emits ("cncl_wd", id).
• [MODIFY] cancel_contract — stays instant for Created escrows; returns NoticeRequired for Funded escrows.
• [MODIFY] open_dispute — clears any pending cancel request during the notice period.
• [ADD] EscrowError variants appended at the end (append-only, no renumbering): NoticeRequired, CancelAlreadyRequested, NoticePeriodActive.

🧪 Tests (contracts/escrow/src/test.rs)

• [ADD] cancel_contract on a Funded escrow returns NoticeRequired (fails on main).
• [ADD] Boundary test at requested_at + notice - 1 (rejected) and requested_at + notice (accepted).
• [ADD] Client releases a milestone during notice, then finalizes — refund equals remaining unreleased only.
• [ADD] Freelancer disputes during notice → request cleared, finalize_cancel fails with InvalidStatus.
• [MODIFY] dispute_split_and_cancel updated only because its escrow is Funded and now requires request_cancel + finalize_cancel instead of the old instant cancel_contract.

📖 Docs (README.md)

• [MODIFY] Contract-interface table documents request_cancel, finalize_cancel, withdraw_cancel, the new errors (NoticeRequired, CancelAlreadyRequested, NoticePeriodActive) and events (cncl_req, cncl_wd).
• [MODIFY] Status-flow section notes the notice period for Funded cancellations.

Security Checklist

• Can a client cancel a funded escrow without the freelancer having notice time? No — cancel_contract returns NoticeRequired for Funded escrows; only finalize_cancel after CANCEL_NOTICE_SECS refunds.
• Can the request be finalized after a dispute was opened and resolved? No — open_dispute clears CancelRequestedAt, so a subsequent finalize_cancel fails with InvalidStatus.

This malware usually gets into a branch from an infected developer machine — it rewrites commits and adds hidden files. Please:

1. Remove all of the files/changes listed above (e.g. api.js, .vscode/, public/fonts/*, code hidden after long whitespace in config files, and node api.js in package.json scripts).
2. Scan your machine: check ~/.vscode tasks and recently modified config files in your other projects, and rotate any tokens/keys stored on it.
3. Push a clean commit (or recreate the branch from a fresh clone of main).

Once the branch is clean and CI passes, we'll review and merge it. 🙏
