Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Auth Bypass: The lack of a Thread Token enforcement in the TokenSale state machine allowed unauthorized transition bypasses, enabling attackers to interact with counterfeit contract instances and manipulate state.
