Problem Statement
The test suite runs entirely in an emulated Env::default() host —
isolated from real network conditions (RPC quirks, real Stellar Asset
Contract, real Soroban host behavior).
Why it matters
Soroban tests are deterministic but they are not exhaustive of host
behaviour. Fork tests against testnet catch issues like: actual
symbol_short truncations, real reclaim gas costs, host-side authorization
verification.
Technical Context
Soroban fork testing is supported natively in soroban-sdk 22.x via
the test_snapshot infrastructure.
Expected Outcome
A tests/fork.rs that pulls from testnet RPC, applies the local
TipContract Wasm against real state, and asserts the same set of
invariants as the unit tests but in a fork-mode environment.
Acceptance Criteria
Files/Modules Likely Affected
tests/fork.rs (new).github/workflows/ci.ymlCargo.tomlREADME.md
Difficulty Hard. Estimated Effort L.
