[Backend] Marketplace dispute resolution and arbitration #394
Description
Overview
Marketplace transactions can go wrong (non-delivery, misrepresentation). Add a dispute flow: buyers open disputes, evidence is attached, a mediator/adjudicator resolves with refund or release, and the escrow contract is invoked accordingly.
Acceptance Criteria
- Buyers can open disputes against a marketplace listing
- Evidence attachment and messaging within a dispute
- Mediator resolution triggers refund or release via escrow
- Dispute lifecycle is audit-logged and surfaced to admins
- Escalation path from automated rules to human mediator
