Problem
contracts/access_control/src/lib.rs (line 182) contains a helper function that returns a hardcoded placeholder value (0) with the comment: "Return 0 as placeholder - this function should not be used in production". This function is exported as part of the contract's public API, meaning any on-chain caller or integration that invokes it will receive a meaningless value instead of an error or the correct result. Leaving a production contract with placeholder logic is a correctness and trust issue.
Proposed Solution
Two acceptable approaches — choose the one that matches the function's intent:
Option A — Implement the correct return value:
Determine what the function is supposed to return (review the function signature, name, and how it is called elsewhere in the contracts). Implement the correct logic that produces the intended value.
Option B — Remove or panic the function if it is unused:
If the function is truly dead code and not called by any other contract or external integration, either:
- Remove it entirely from the contract, OR
- Replace the return with
panic!("This function is not implemented") so callers fail loudly rather than silently receiving 0
After deciding on an approach, ensure the contract compiles cleanly and existing tests pass.
Acceptance Criteria
