Summary

Renames the internal _settle function parameters from beneficiary / amount to _beneficiary / _amount (underscore-prefix convention) to eliminate any potential shadowing of inherited declarations flagged during audit.

Changes

  • contracts/TruthBountyClaims.sol — Renamed _settle params and updated internal references. Call sites (settleClaim, settleClaimsBatch) untouched — args are positional.
  • test/TruthBountyClaims.test.ts — Added unit test asserting single and batch paths emit the correct ClaimSettled args and balances after the rename.

Why

  • Audit Ref CO-190 identified parameter shadowing risk inside _settle.
  • Underscore-prefix is the standard Solidity/OpenZeppelin convention for internal function params and disambiguates them from any state-variable or inherited-scope identifiers.
  • Behavior, ABI, and storage layout are unchanged → no regressions.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Implementation functional
  • Tests added (single + batch ClaimSettled args)
  • No regressions (ABI/storage unchanged)

Security / Integrity

  • Purely a renamimg refactor; no logic or access-control changes. No new trust assumptions.

Risk

  • Low. Internal-only rename; callers are unaffected.

References

  • Internal: Ref #CO-190
  • Branch: feat/audit-190-shadowing-settle

closes #190

Rename `beneficiary`/`amount` parameters of the internal `_settle` function
to `_beneficiary`/`_amount` using the underscore-prefix convention. This
removes any potential shadowing of inherited declarations and improves
readability/audit clarity.

- Behavior, ABI, and storage layout are unchanged.
- Call sites in `settleClaim` and `settleClaimsBatch` are unaffected (positional).
- Added unit test asserting single and batch paths emit correct ClaimSettled args.
