Feature and its Use Cases

Problem

If a bug or exploit is discovered mid-auction, there is no way to pause the contract
to prevent further damage. Funds and NFTs could be drained before a fix is deployed.

Suggested Fix

Implement OpenZeppelin's Pausable and restrict bid(), withdraw(), and finalizeAuction()
with the whenNotPaused modifier. Only the contract owner or a designated admin should be able to
call pause()/unpause().

Impact

Medium — improves operational safety and gives maintainers a circuit breaker.
