Pull request overview
This PR addresses security vulnerabilities, removes unsafe code, and improves code quality across multiple crates in the BitCell blockchain project. The changes primarily focus on hardening the codebase against overflow vulnerabilities, eliminating unsafe memory operations, adding input validation, improving logging practices, and enhancing test coverage.
Key Changes:
- Added overflow protection using
checked_addfor balance operations with a newBalanceOverflowerror variant - Replaced unsafe
std::slice::from_raw_partsusage with safe byte array construction in QR code and game visualization modules - Added Ethereum-style address validation to RPC endpoints

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Test incomplete: This test doesn't verify the result of load_secret_key_from_file. The comment says "PEM parsing might fail" but doesn't assert anything about the outcome. Consider either:
- Asserting that it succeeds if the PEM content is valid
- Asserting that it fails if the PEM content is invalid
- Adding a comment explaining why the assertion is omitted
Example:
let result = load_secret_key_from_file(&temp_file);
// This specific PEM content should succeed/fail because...
assert!(result.is_ok()); // or assert!(result.is_err());
