[Smart Contracts] Add gas-regression thresholds for critical Soroban contract operations

🚀 Feature Overview

[Smart Contracts] Add gas-regression thresholds for critical Soroban contract operations

🛠️ Implementation Requirements

• Turn existing gas-awareness documentation into a repeatable safeguard against expensive contract changes.
• Select representative critical operations such as issuance, enrollment, payment, or access checks.
• Measure resources with stable fixtures and record approved baselines.
• Fail or flag CI when a change exceeds an agreed threshold.
• Document how maintainers intentionally update a baseline.

🔧 Technical Specifications

TypeScript, React/Next.js, Node.js/Express, PostgreSQL/Redis, Rust/Soroban, GitHub Actions — as applicable to the scoped implementation.

✅ Acceptance Criteria

• Critical operations have repeatable resource measurements.
• CI detects material gas or resource regressions.
• Baselines are versioned with a documented update process.
• Measurements run without mainnet credentials.
• Results identify the affected contract operation.

🎓 Difficulty Level

Intermediate to Advanced — requires careful production-quality implementation.
