Potential reiteration of template project

Open discussions

• Pending to resolve all comments in https://github.com/cowprotocol/contracts-template/pull/4 in follow up PRs

Process / CI

• Include Linting for Solidity
  • Make sure we update the natspec comments if a function signature changes (e.g., missing parameters or return values)
  • Make sure that test_* functions are external (if it were internal, the test would be silently skipped)
  • [no-duplicated-imports](https://github.com/protofire/solhint/issues/588)
  • Coverage enforcement
• Linting for TS/JS? does it apply
• Cannon setup, reference docs/process?
• Make contract verification easier (default include standard json, Etherscan api v2)
• Standarise the creation of networks.json or better alternatives using the new process
• Make it easier to work with RPC? Standard naming, easier to find ready to use RPCS?
• .env standarization

Foundry

• Foundry default
• Make sure deployments are deterministic and follow the foundry recommendations (i.e. disable cbor, etc. ). See also https://book.getfoundry.sh/guides/deterministic-deployments-using-create2
• Avoid different address per network since this makes it more likely to loose funds (see issue with MM wallet)
• Should we add via_ir by default in all projects?

Solidity

• Config for version, and standards on how to specify pragmas
• Would be awesome to have some libraries and interfaces that are likely used for integrations, this could be really nice to encourage integrations with other teams. For example
  • More complete version of https://github.com/cowdao-grants/cow-fee/blob/main/src/interfaces/IGPv2Settlement.sol
  • Safe ISafe.sol https://github.com/cowdao-grants/cow-fee/blob/main/src/interfaces/ISafe.sol
  • Generalise Wrappers
  • Cow-shed
  • Flashloans https://github.com/cowprotocol/flash-loan-router
  • Stuff for programmatic orders
  • Potentially, get inspiration in defi-wonderland, for example see [here](https://github.com/defi-wonderland/balancer-v1-amm/blob/dev/foundry.toml).
  • Check if worth it to include the new proposal of a CREATE2 deployer based on EIP7702. (not immediate need, but interesting new standard that avoids issues in some weird chains we might face in the future) → Template?

Github / Git

• PR template and PR reviewers - #1
• Can we define in the template the branch rules, etc?
• Do we want things like pre-commit hooks to auto format?

Legal

• Licensing according to [guideline](https://cowservices.slack.com/archives/C043PJXF657/p1759222196686939?thread_ts=1759161768.645869&cid=C043PJXF657)
