📝 Detailed Description

What does this PR do?

This PR implements a comprehensive, centralized error management system for the Predictify Hybrid contract. It moves all error types from the main lib.rs file into a dedicated errors.rs module, providing better organization, categorization, and debugging capabilities.

Why is this change needed?

The previous error system had all error types scattered throughout the main contract file, making it difficult to maintain, debug, and extend. This centralized approach provides:

  • Better code organization and maintainability
  • Clear error categorization (Security, Market, Oracle, Validation, State, System)
  • Comprehensive error documentation and helper functions
  • Improved debugging capabilities with error context
  • Modular error system for easier future enhancements

How was this tested?

  • All existing tests updated to work with new error codes
  • New unit tests added for error categorization, messages, and helper functions
  • Manual verification that all error scenarios work correctly
  • Test coverage includes error context, recoverability, and criticality checks

Alternative Solutions Considered

  • Keeping errors in main file but adding documentation (rejected - doesn't solve organization)
  • Using external error libraries (rejected - not compatible with Soroban's no_std environment)
  • Simple error enum without categorization (rejected - doesn't provide enough structure)

🏗️ Smart Contract Specific

Manual Testing Steps

  1. Verified error categorization works correctly for all error types
  2. Tested error helper functions with various input scenarios
  3. Confirmed error messages are human-readable and accurate
  4. Validated error context creation and debugging utilities
  5. Checked that all existing functionality works with new error system

�� Documentation

Documentation Updates

  • README updated
  • Code comments added/updated
  • API documentation updated
  • Examples updated
  • Architecture documentation updated

Breaking Changes

Breaking Changes:

  • Error codes have been reorganized and some new ones added
  • Error helper functions now return Result<(), Error> instead of panicking directly

Migration Guide:

  • Update any external code that depends on specific error codes
  • Replace manual error validation with helper functions where appropriate
  • Use new error categorization for better error handling logic

🔍 Code Quality
