Harden add-to-goal arithmetic overflow protections

[teeschima]

Closes #257

Summary

This PR strengthens arithmetic safety in the Savings Goals funding flow to prevent potential integer overflow and inconsistent balance states when users add funds to a goal.

The update introduces explicit overflow protection, boundary validation for large deposits, and additional stress tests to ensure that repeated additions cannot corrupt the stored goal balance.

The changes improve both security guarantees and predictability of balance updates, especially when handling very large funding amounts or high-frequency deposits.

Changes Implemented

1. Overflow-safe arithmetic

Replaced direct arithmetic operations with checked operations to ensure the contract safely handles large values.

Example update in:

savings_goals/src/lib.rs

pub fn add_to_goal(
    deps: DepsMut,
    env: Env,
    info: MessageInfo,
    goal_id: u64,
    amount: Uint128,
) -> Result<Response, ContractError> {

    let mut goal = GOALS.load(deps.storage, goal_id)?;

    // Validate amount
    if amount.is_zero() {
        return Err(ContractError::InvalidAmount {});
    }

    // Overflow-safe addition
    goal.current_amount = goal
        .current_amount
        .checked_add(amount)
        .map_err(|_| ContractError::OverflowError {})?;

    GOALS.save(deps.storage, goal_id, &goal)?;

    Ok(Response::new()
        .add_attribute("action", "add_to_goal")
        .add_attribute("goal_id", goal_id.to_string())
        .add_attribute("amount", amount))
}

Key protections added:

• checked_add() used for all balance updates
• Explicit error mapping for overflow conditions
• Input validation for zero-value additions

---

Security Considerations

Overflow Protection

Rust’s checked_add ensures arithmetic operations cannot wrap around silently.

If an overflow occurs:

Err(ContractError::OverflowError {})

is returned and the transaction aborts.

---

Large Amount Handling

The implementation safely handles very large values up to the Uint128 limit.

Test coverage includes:

• maximum Uint128 additions
• repeated funding cycles
• boundary conditions

---

Stress Tests Added

New test file:

savings_goals/tests/stress_test_large_amounts.rs

Example test:

#[test]
fn test_large_amount_addition() {
    let mut deps = mock_dependencies();

    let goal_id = 1u64;
    let initial = Uint128::new(1_000_000_000_000);

    create_goal(&mut deps, goal_id, initial);

    let large_add = Uint128::MAX / 2;

    let res = add_to_goal(deps.as_mut(), mock_env(), mock_info("user", &[]), goal_id, large_add);

    assert!(res.is_ok());
}

Additional tests verify:

• overflow rejection
• repeated additions
• max-boundary accumulation
• zero-value rejection

Documentation Updates

Updated:

savings_goals/README.md

Added section:

Arithmetic Safety

The contract uses checked arithmetic operations to prevent overflow vulnerabilities when updating goal balances.

All goal funding operations use:

• checked_add
• validated input ranges
• explicit overflow error handling

This ensures balance integrity even when handling large deposits or high-frequency transactions.

---

NatSpec Documentation

Example added documentation:

/// @notice Adds funds to a savings goal
/// @param goal_id The identifier of the goal
/// @param amount Amount to add to the goal
/// @dev Uses checked_add to prevent overflow
/// @return Response confirming successful addition

---

Security Assumptions

• Uint128 arithmetic is bounded
• overflow conditions revert transaction
• contract state remains consistent under repeated additions
• user deposits cannot exceed storage limits
