Status transition functions
Active delegation counting
Automatic expiration handling
Comprehensive status queries

3. Manage Delegated Permissions ✓

Five permission types:
- TRADE - Execute trades
- CREATE_MARKET - Create markets
- RESOLVE_MARKET - Resolve outcomes
- MANAGE_LIQUIDITY - Manage liquidity
- ADMIN - Full permissions
Grant/revoke individual permissions
Batch permission operations
Permission queries and validation

4. Support Delegation Revocation ✓

Revoke delegations at any time
Automatic permission cleanup
Status updates and event emission
Admin emergency controls
Revocation timestamp tracking

5. Provide Delegation Queries ✓

11 comprehensive query functions:
- Get delegation details
- Check delegation status
- Verify permissions
- List delegations by delegator/delegatee/market
- Get statistics and counts

🎯 Acceptance Criteria - ALL MET

Criteria	Status	Implementation
Requests are handled	✅ PASS	`requestDelegation()` with full validation
Status is tracked	✅ PASS	4-state system with transitions
Permissions are managed	✅ PASS	5 permission types with grant/revoke
Revocation works	✅ PASS	`revokeDelegation()` with cleanup
Queries work	✅ PASS	11 query functions

🔐 Security Features

✓ Reentrancy Protection - All state-changing functions protected
✓ Access Control - Only delegators can manage their delegations
✓ Input Validation - Zero address, self-delegation checks
✓ Limits Enforcement - Max 100 delegations per delegator, max 365 days duration
✓ Automatic Expiration - Time-based delegation expiration
✓ Permission Cleanup - Automatic revocation on delegation revocation
✓ Emergency Controls - Owner can expire delegations

⚡ Gas Optimization

✓ Custom errors instead of string reverts
✓ Efficient storage layout
✓ Batch operations for multiple permissions
✓ View functions for off-chain queries

🚀 Quick Start

1. Basic Usage

// Request delegation
bytes32 delegationId = marketDelegation.requestDelegation(
    delegateeAddress,
    marketId,      // 0 for global
    duration       // 0 for no expiration
);

// Activate delegation
marketDelegation.activateDelegation(delegationId);

// Grant permissions
marketDelegation.grantPermission(
    delegationId,
    MarketDelegation.Permission.TRADE
);

// Check permission
bool canTrade = marketDelegation.hasPermission(
    delegationId,
    MarketDelegation.Permission.TRADE
);

// Revoke delegation
marketDelegation.revokeDelegation(delegationId);

2. Integration Example

contract TradingWithDelegation {
    MarketDelegation public delegation;
    
    function executeTrade(bytes32 delegationId, uint256 amount) external {
        // Verify delegation is active
        require(
            delegation.isDelegationActive(delegationId),
            "Delegation not active"
        );
        
        // Verify permission
        require(
            delegation.hasPermission(delegationId, Permission.TRADE),
            "No trade permission"
        );
        
        // Get delegator
        Delegation memory del = delegation.getDelegation(delegationId);
        
        // Execute trade on behalf of delegator
        _executeTrade(del.delegator, amount);
    }
}

🔄 Delegation Lifecycle

1. REQUEST    → requestDelegation()     [PENDING]
2. ACTIVATE   → activateDelegation()    [ACTIVE]
3. GRANT      → grantPermission()       [Permissions added]
4. USE        → hasPermission()         [Check & use]
5. REVOKE     → revokeDelegation()      [REVOKED]
