Implement multi-sig capability tokens to flatten authorization hierarchies during complex asset fractioning #478

Description

@Damola-Sodiq

Description

Engineer a cryptographic capability token pattern to authenticate deep cross-contract calls without recursively checking signatures at every layer.

Architecture & Context

When a DAO authorizes a massive asset fractioning event, the transaction must pass through a proxy, a registry, and finally the token contract. Recursively calling env.auth() at every hop bloats the payload. Emitting a single-use capability token at the entry point flattens the authorization tree.

Technical Requirements

  • Generate a secure, deterministic capability BytesN<32> hash that includes the transaction context and an expiration sequence.
  • Validate this hash strictly at the deepest execution layer.
  • Ensure capability tokens are completely invalid once the invoking ledger closes.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Authorization payload sizes drop significantly.
  • Cross-contract calls successfully validate the capability without native auth checks.
  • Stolen or intercepted capability tokens cannot be replayed.
