Wallet Connection (Frontend)

[soomtochukwu]

Description
apps/web/lib/stellar.ts stubs connectWallet() and signTransaction(). These are required for any authenticated user action (posting jobs, releasing milestones, opening disputes).

Requirements

• connectWallet() — open the StellarWalletsKit modal; on selection persist public key to a React context/store; return the public key
• signTransaction(xdr) — pass the XDR string to the connected wallet for signing; return signed XDR
• Handle user cancellation gracefully (return null, do not throw)
• Support Freighter as the default wallet; kit handles others

Acceptance Criteria

• Connecting Freighter in a browser returns a valid G… public key
• Signing a test transaction with Freighter returns a valid signed XDR string
• Cancelling the modal returns null without an unhandled error
