Summary

This PR adds four major capabilities to StarForge: a local network simulation environment, cross-chain bridge support, formal verification integration, and an automated deployment verification system.

#337 — Network Simulation and Testing Environment

• Added src/utils/network_sim.rs — deterministic in-memory ledger simulator with seeded execution
• Added starforge simulate CLI with subcommands: run, snapshot, restore, time, fail, scenario, list
• Supports state snapshot/restore, virtual time and ledger control, failure injection, and built-in test scenarios
• Integration tests in tests/network_simulation.rs

#390 — Cross-Chain Bridge Support

• Added src/utils/bridge/ module (providers, routes, security, state sync, monitoring)
• Added starforge bridge CLI with subcommands: transfer, status, routes, configure, sync, verify, monitor, history
• Bridge config and transfer history persisted under ~/.starforge/bridge/
• Integration tests in tests/bridge_integration.rs

#389 — Contract Formal Verification Integration

• Wired existing starforge verify command into the CLI (main.rs)
• Added verify visualize for ASCII chart visualization of verification results
• Added .github/workflows/verify.yml for continuous verification in CI
• Existing harness generation, property specs, run/report, and CI snippet generation are now accessible

#369 — Contract Deployment Verification System

• Added src/utils/deployment_verify.rs — automated bytecode, storage layout, and functionality checks
• Extended starforge deployments verify with --report and --json flags
• Added deployments report and deployments ci subcommands
• Verification reports saved to ~/.starforge/deploy_verify/
• Added .github/workflows/deploy-verify.yml
• Integration tests in tests/deployment_verification.rs

Test plan

• starforge simulate list — lists built-in scenarios
• starforge simulate scenario --name basic-deploy-invoke — runs deterministic scenario
• starforge simulate fail --mode timeout — confirms failure injection
• starforge bridge routes — lists available cross-chain routes
• starforge bridge verify --source stellar-testnet --dest ethereum-sepolia --amount 1000000 --sender G... --recipient 0x... — security checks
• starforge verify harness --wasm <path> — generates verification harness
• starforge verify property add/list — property registry
• starforge verify visualize --contract <name> — ASCII result chart
• starforge deployments verify --id <id> --save --report — full deployment verification
• starforge deployments report --id <id> — shows saved report
• cargo test network_simulation bridge_integration deployment_verification
