Contracts: Emergency migration path for paused rounds and stranded funds

[Cedarich]

Complexity: 200 points

Goal
Design and implement an emergency migration path for paused rounds or edge cases where funds become stranded under an operational halt.

Acceptance Criteria

• Migration path is explicitly permissioned and auditable.
• State transitions preserve contributor safety assumptions.
• Events communicate emergency migration actions clearly.
• Tests cover paused or partially completed round scenarios.

I can implement a secure emergency migration flow by introducing explicit permission checks, auditable state transitions, and event emission that preserves contributor safety while allowing recovery from paused or stranded-round scenarios. I'll back it with comprehensive tests covering paused, partially completed, and edge-case migration paths to ensure the mechanism is safe and deterministic.
