#19 add contract public api and compatibility policy fix

[onakijames-droid]

CLOSED #19 add contract public api and compatibility policy
Description
Adds a canonical public API and compatibility policy for Aegis contracts so
contract, SDK, dashboard, and indexer consumers have one stable integration
reference.

The change:

• Adds docs/public-api.md, documenting all five contract entry points:
  initialize, whitelist_user, mint_asset, transfer, and
  distribute_yield.
• Documents ordered inputs, Soroban types, () outputs, authorization,
  preconditions, success effects, failure conditions, events, and storage
  implications for each entry point.
• Classifies supported surfaces as Stable, Experimental, or Internal.
  distribute_yield/YieldDistributed are explicitly experimental because the
  current implementation emits an indexing signal but does not distribute or
  escrow assets.
• Defines function, error, event, storage, state-migration, and deployment
  breaking-change categories.
• Defines pre-1.0 and post-1.0 versioning, deprecation, review, migration, and
  downstream-approval requirements.
• Defines SDK and dashboard/indexer expectations, including exact i128
  handling, auth responsibilities, unknown-event handling, idempotent replay,
  and the prohibition on depending on raw storage or panic strings.
• Updates README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and docs/contract-spec.md to link to
  the canonical policy.
• Adds tests/public_api_policy.rs with documentation-contract tests that fail
  when an exported entry point/event or required policy area is not represented
  in the reference.
• Relocates the pre-existing monitoring project from .github/monitoring/ to
  the monitoring/ path already expected by the README and Makefile. It also
  normalizes analytics/index.js casing and renames store.tests.js to
  store.test.js, fixing case-sensitive imports and ensuring the existing store
  tests are discovered.
• Adds generated test_snapshots/ to .gitignore.

No contract entry-point signature, authorization rule, storage value, accounting
behavior, or event wire format is changed by this PR.

Completion Table

Acceptance Criterion	Status	Implementation Evidence	Test Evidence	Documentation Impact
AC 1: Public API reference is added.	Complete	docs/public-api.md is the normative reference for every current #[contractimpl] entry point and contract event. docs/contract-spec.md provides a concise index.	every_contract_entrypoint_has_a_public_reference; every_contract_event_has_a_wire_format_reference in tests/public_api_policy.rs.	Added docs/public-api.md; updated docs/contract-spec.md.
AC 2: Inputs and outputs are documented.	Complete	Each function section records its SDK signature, ordered input names/types/rules, auth requirements, () output, and success effects. Calling conventions explain that Rust Env is host-supplied and not an SDK input.	every_contract_entrypoint_has_a_public_reference verifies all five exported methods have canonical sections; existing contract tests validate their runtime behavior.	Added the Calling Conventions and Public Function Reference sections in docs/public-api.md.
AC 3: Errors and events are referenced.	Complete	The policy documents the untyped assertion/host-error model, every current explicit failure, exact diagnostic references, and all five event topic/data layouts and statuses.	current_explicit_failures_are_referenced; every_contract_event_has_a_wire_format_reference; existing event-XDR/topic/data tests in src/test.rs; monitoring on-chain compatibility tests.	Added Error Model and Failure Reference and Event Reference sections in docs/public-api.md.
AC 4: Breaking-change categories are defined.	Complete	Defines stable/experimental/internal surfaces and breaking categories for function ABI, authorization, errors, events, accounting, storage/state migrations, and deployments. Includes SemVer and deprecation rules.	policy_covers_required_compatibility_areas requires stability, breaking-change, versioning, and review sections.	Added Stability Classification, Breaking-Change Categories, Versioning and Deprecation, and Change Review Requirements sections.
AC 5: SDK and dashboard expectations are documented.	Complete	Defines binding generation/pinning, exact i128 handling, auth construction, error handling, event dispatch, unknown-event tolerance, finality, replay/idempotency, and experimental-yield presentation requirements.	policy_covers_required_compatibility_areas requires both consumer sections; 106 monitoring tests validate event decoding and dashboard/indexer compatibility.	Added SDK Expectations and Dashboard and Indexer Expectations sections in docs/public-api.md.
AC 6: README links to the API policy.	Complete	README.md contains a dedicated Public API and Compatibility section linking to docs/public-api.md and docs/contract-spec.md.	repository_guidance_links_to_the_canonical_policy checks README, contributor guidance, and contract-spec links. Local Markdown link validation also passed.	Updated README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md.

All acceptance criteria are complete; no follow-up acceptance work is required.

Detailed Traceability Mapping

Acceptance Criteria	Implementation	Storage & State Changes	Events Emitted	Test Coverage	Security/Safety Controls
AC 1: Public API reference	Canonical reference plus contract-spec index for five functions and five events.	No state change. Existing instance/persistent layout and migration implications are documented.	No new events. Existing event surface is referenced.	Entrypoint and event documentation drift tests.	Makes auth, uninitialized-state, and upgrade assumptions reviewable.
AC 2: Inputs and outputs	Per-function SDK signatures, ordered arguments, types, validation, auth, void output, and effects.	No state change. Per-function write/read matrix documents existing behavior.	No new events. Existing per-call event cardinality is documented.	Entrypoint coverage test plus existing lifecycle/failure tests.	Explicitly documents unauthenticated initialize, required signer addresses, positive amounts, whitelist checks, and exact integer handling.
AC 3: Errors and events	Failure table distinguishes assertion diagnostics from Soroban host errors; event sections define exact topics and positional data.	No state change. Archived/missing storage behavior is documented as a host/trap risk.	No new events or wire-format changes. Init, WhitelistAdd, Mint, Transfer, and YieldDistributed are documented.	Explicit-failure reference test, event-reference test, Rust event tests, and monitoring XDR compatibility tests.	Prohibits machine parsing of panic strings and requires successful finalized transactions before processing events.
AC 4: Breaking changes	Stable/experimental/internal policy; function, error, event, state, and deployment categories; SemVer/deprecation/review process.	No state change. Storage encoding/class changes require tested migration and rollback plans.	No new events. Event topic/data/cardinality changes are explicitly breaking for stable events.	Required-policy-section drift test; formatting, lint, build, and full-suite validation.	Requires contract, SDK, and dashboard/indexer review for stable/event changes and explicit rollout/rollback planning.
AC 5: Consumer expectations	SDK and dashboard/indexer integration rules, release pinning, precision, auth, error, event, replay, and migration requirements.	No state change. Raw storage reads are unsupported; projections must come from finalized events or future public getters.	No new events. Consumers must validate known layouts and ignore unknown actions safely.	Required-policy-section test and 106 monitoring tests covering decoders, replay, analytics, alerts, and dashboard paths.	Requires exact i128 math, contract-ID filtering, finality, duplicate handling, and non-settlement labeling for experimental yield events.
AC 6: README link	Dedicated README section and contributor/spec links to the canonical policy.	N/A — navigation/documentation-only change.	N/A — no event effect.	Repository policy-link test and local Markdown link validation.	Prevents contributors and consumers from relying on undocumented assumptions.
