Implement Comprehensive Edge-Case Unit Tests for Job Registry

• Category: Smart Contract: Job Registry & Bidding
• Task ID: SC-REG-040

Description

This issue is dedicated to the technical design, implementation, and rigorous auditing of 'Implement Comprehensive Edge-Case Unit Tests for Job Registry' inside the Lance marketplace ecosystem, specifically focusing on the Smart Contract: Job Registry & Bidding component. You need to build comprehensive automated integration test cases that mock network latencies, isolate external API dependencies, and simulate diverse user scenarios. Ensure all assertions are fully deterministic and free of race conditions, yielding zero flaky runs in headless integration runners. Ensure that your implementation strictly adheres to the project's architectural guidelines, features self-documenting code with comprehensive inline annotations, and provides solid verification proofs. Any modifications to state variables must undergo strict validation before commits.

Requirements

• Scaffold and write the contract logic in contracts/job_registry/src/lib.rs for Implement Comprehensive Edge-Case Unit Tests for Job Registry.
• Compress heavy text strings into compact IPFS Content Identifiers (CIDs) before storing on-chain.
• Design clean mappings from Job IDs to dynamic bid structures utilizing map-like storage arrays.
• Implement strict ownership validation so that only the job creator can accept proposals.

Acceptance Criteria

• Contract successfully compiles and fits within the standard Soroban WASM size limits.
• Registry state transitions cleanly to 'Assigned' once a bid is successfully accepted.
• Out-of-bounds inputs or late bid submissions are gracefully blocked and return specific error codes.
