July 2025: Hathor Core security hardening and RNG isolation. Implemented default reentrancy protection with a dedicated test harness to simulate and test reentrancy scenarios (basic transfers, successful attack, and fixed-vulnerability failure). Refactored RNG to ensure each contract instance has its own unique RNG object via a shell class, with tests validating isolation and determinism. Expanded security-focused tests to improve coverage and auditable results. Overall, these changes reduce attack surface, improve independence of contract randomness, and strengthen reliability for contract execution.
