[ Crypto ] Fix zero-fee flash loans and add pool drainage protection #919

@Stacylia

Description

@Stacylia

The flash loan contract solidity/contracts/FlashLoan.sol provides uncollateralized loans within a single transaction but the fee calculation at line 34 uses loanAmount * feeBPS / 10000 which truncates to zero for loan amounts under 10000/feeBPS tokens, allowing free flash loans for small amounts.

Fix

  • Add a minimum fee of 1 token unit: fee = max(loanAmount * feeBPS / 10000, 1)
  • Add a maxLoanAmount cap that limits flash loans to 50% of the pool balance to prevent pool drainage
  • The callback validation at line 42 only checks balanceOf(address(this)) >= balanceBefore + fee but does not account for rebasing tokens that may change balance during the callback — add a nonRebasingOnly modifier or use internal accounting
  • Add an emergency pause function that the owner can trigger to disable flash loans

Acceptance Criteria

  • Minimum fee of 1 token prevents free flash loans for small amounts
  • Loans exceeding 50% of pool balance are rejected
  • Internal accounting prevents rebasing token exploits
  • Emergency pause disables all flash loan functions
  • Unpausing re-enables flash loans
  • Fee accrual is tracked correctly for pool share calculations
  • Tests cover: zero-fee prevention, max loan cap, rebasing token scenario, pause/unpause
