📝 Detailed Description

What does this PR do?

This PR introduces a mandatory 7-day cool-off period before a paused market can be unpaused. The unpause_market flow now validates that at least seven days have elapsed since the market was paused before allowing the state transition back to active.

Additionally:

• Updates the market state transition logic in contracts/predictify-hybrid/src/markets.rs.
• Adds focused unit tests covering successful and unsuccessful unpause attempts.
• Documents the new behavior and any externally visible API changes.

Why is this change needed?

Without a mandatory cool-off period, paused markets can be reactivated immediately, which may not provide sufficient time for investigation, governance review, or dispute resolution.

Enforcing a seven-day delay:

• Prevents premature market reactivation.
• Improves protocol safety and governance.
• Ensures predictable market lifecycle behavior.
• Aligns contract behavior with the project's requirements.

How was this tested?

• Added unit tests validating:

  • Unpause fails before the 7-day threshold.
  • Unpause succeeds after exactly 7 days.
  • Boundary conditions around the cool-off period.
  • Unauthorized callers cannot unpause the market.

• Executed the repository's standard test suite.

• Verified existing market lifecycle tests continue to pass.

Alternative Solutions Considered

An alternative was to make the cool-off duration configurable via an admin parameter. A fixed seven-day duration was chosen because it matches the issue requirements, reduces contract complexity, and avoids additional governance or configuration overhead.
