📝 Detailed Description

What does this PR do?

This PR introduces an admin cooldown mechanism for critical betting contract actions in contracts/betting/src/admin.rs. The cooldown enforces a mandatory waiting period between successive administrative operations, reducing the risk of rapid or accidental execution of sensitive actions.

Focused unit tests have also been added to verify cooldown enforcement and boundary conditions.

Why is this change needed?

Critical administrative actions should not be executed repeatedly in rapid succession. Introducing a cooldown provides an additional operational safeguard, improves contract security, and helps prevent accidental or malicious repeated administrative operations.

How was this tested?

• Added focused unit tests covering cooldown behavior.
• Verified that administrative actions succeed after the cooldown expires.
• Verified that repeated actions within the cooldown period are rejected.
• Ran the project's standard test suite using cargo test.

Alternative Solutions Considered

Restricting actions through additional role-based permissions was considered, but a cooldown mechanism provides operational protection without changing the existing authorization model.

Manual Testing Steps

1. Execute a critical admin action successfully.
2. Attempt the same action before the cooldown period expires and verify it is rejected.
3. Advance time (or the ledger) beyond the cooldown period.
4. Execute the action again and verify it succeeds.
5. Run the full cargo test suite.

💬 Notes for Reviewers

Please pay special attention to:

• Cooldown enforcement for all critical administrative actions.
• Boundary conditions around cooldown expiration.
• Preservation of existing authorization behavior alongside the new cooldown logic.

Questions for reviewers:

• Are all intended administrative entrypoints protected by the cooldown?
• Is the cooldown duration and enforcement behavior consistent with project expectations?
