Pull request overview
This PR optimizes the VouchMe.Testimonial storage layout by shrinking timestamp from uint256 to uint64 and reordering fields to improve packing, then updates the web ABI/typechain outputs and adjusts tests to match.
Changes:
- Update
Testimonial.timestamptouint64and reorder fields for tighter storage packing - Update ABI + TypeChain artifacts to reflect the new struct field order/types
- Adjust Solidity test assertion(s) to match the new
uint64timestamp type

This pull request optimizes the
Testimonialstruct by changing thetimestampfield fromuint256touint64and adjusting the field layout. Becausetimestampis now 8 bytes, it securely packs withreceiver(20 bytes) andverified(1 byte) into exactly one 32-byte storage slot.This structural upgrade reduces the
Testimoniallayout from 7 storage slots down to 6, significantly shaving gas costs across the board without sacrificing functionality (asuint64universally handles timestamps up to the year 584,942,417,355).Gas Efficiency Benchmarks & Full Reductions

Additional Notes:
VouchMe.sol): ReorderedTestimonialfields and updatedtimestamptouint64. This single change successfully compounds into massive scaling gas reliefs (saving upwards of 650K+ gas on large array operations).VouchMe.json,VouchMe.ts, and factory files. No frontend logic rewrite is required sinceethers.jsgracefully maps returneduint64values tobigintexactly as it did foruint256.AI Usage Disclosure:
