+//! # Yield Escrow Invariants — Property/Fuzz Coverage
+//!
+//! Property-based tests for the escrow deposit/withdraw math to ensure
+//! LP-share accounting can never over-pay or under-refund.
+//!
+//! ## Invariants Tested
+//!
+//! 1. **payout ≤ deposited**: The total payout claimed cannot exceed the
+//!    original deposit amount.
+//!
+//! 2. **payout ≤ deposited + accrued_yield**: The total payout to beneficiaries
+//!    cannot exceed the original deposit plus any accrued yield.
+//!
+//! 3. **claim + cancel cannot double-pay**: Once an escrow is claimed or
+//!    cancelled, it cannot be claimed or cancelled again.
+//!
+//! 4. **amount ≥ 0**: Escrow amount is never negative.
+//!
+//! 5. **yield ≥ 0**: Accrued yield is never negative (no negative yield).
+//!
+//! ## Methodology
+//!
+//! These tests use the `proptest` crate to generate randomized inputs across
+//! a wide range of values, ensuring the invariants hold under all conditions.
+//! Contract-based tests (with real token transfers) use lower case counts
+//! to stay within CI time budgets, while arithmetic-only tests use higher counts.
