Description

**Context**
It seems that now it's possible to access the HEVM cheatcodes directly via the the[ Forge Standard Library](https://github.com/foundry-rs/forge-std), which is also the [recommended](https://book.getfoundry.sh/forge/forge-std.html) way. Also, the [HEVM/dapptools will not be actively maintained anymore](https://github.com/dapphub/dapptools#development-status).

**TODO**
- replace ds-test/HEVM with forge-std/VM

Research direction

Start by locating the Foundry tests that reference ds-test or HEVM and review the existing cheatcode setup. Replace those references with forge-std VM usage, then run the Foundry test suite to confirm all tests pass without HEVM.
