[Contract] — Test: `cancel_proposal` on an already-executed proposal returns an error

[Olowodarey]

Background

governance::cancel_proposal should not allow cancelling a proposal that has
already been executed (proposal.executed == true). The governance tests do not
cover this rejection path.

Goal

Add a test in tests/governance_tests.rs.

Tasks

1. Create and execute a proposal (following the pattern in
2. Attempt cancel_proposal on the executed proposal.
3. Assert an error is returned (check src/governance.rs for the exact error —
4. Also test cancel_proposal on a pending proposal; assert success

Acceptance Criteria

• Executed proposals cannot be cancelled.
• Pending proposals can be cancelled.

Hi, I'd like to take this issue.

I'll add governance tests covering both cancellation paths: verifying that executed proposals cannot be cancelled and that pending proposals can still be cancelled successfully. The tests will follow the existing proposal execution flow, assert the expected error for executed proposals, and confirm the correct behavior for active proposals.

This should strengthen the governance test suite and prevent regressions around proposal state transitions.
