+//
+// # Manual Test Plan: Transfer Failure Modes
+//
+// The Soroban test harness (soroban-sdk testutils) does not provide a mechanism
+// to inject token-level failures (e.g. simulate a transfer revert mid-call).
+// The following failure modes are therefore documented here for manual / fuzzing
+// verification rather than automated unit tests:
+//
+// 1. **deposit: transfer from caller fails** — if the caller has insufficient
+//    USDC balance or has not approved the vault, the token contract panics and
+//    the deposit reverts atomically (no balance change).
+//
+// 2. **withdraw / withdraw_to: transfer to recipient fails** — if the vault's
+//    on-chain USDC balance is lower than the tracked `meta.balance` (e.g. due
+//    to a direct token transfer out), the token transfer panics. The vault
+//    balance is NOT updated in this case (state write happens after transfer).
+//
+// 3. **deduct → settlement transfer fails** — if the settlement address has no
+//    trustline or the vault's USDC balance is insufficient, the token transfer
+//    panics. The vault balance IS already written before the transfer; callers
+//    should treat a panic here as a critical invariant violation.
+//
+// 4. **deduct → revenue_pool transfer fails** — same as (3) for revenue_pool.
+//
+// 5. **distribute: transfer fails** — guarded by an explicit `vault_balance < amount`
+//    check before the transfer; covered by `distribute_insufficient_usdc_fails`.
+//
+// All paths above are covered by the checked-arithmetic and balance-guard tests
+// below. The highest-risk external calls (deduct routing) are covered by the
+// integration tests `deduct_with_settlement_transfers_usdc` and
+// `deduct_with_revenue_pool_transfers_usdc`.
+
