[Infra] .gitignore says never commit test_snapshots, but 5 snapshot files are tracked

Why this matters

.gitignore contains:

# Soroban test runner — auto-generated, never commit
**/test_snapshots/

…yet git ls-files shows 5 tracked files under contracts/stream_contract/test_snapshots/test/*.json (the directory itself contains ~100 generated snapshots, most correctly untracked). This is contradictory: either these 5 were committed before the ignore rule and should be removed from tracking, or snapshots are intentionally version-controlled and the ignore rule/comment is wrong. The inconsistency causes churn (untracked vs tracked snapshots) and confuses contributors.

Acceptance criteria

• Decide whether Soroban test snapshots are committed or ignored
• If ignored: git rm --cached the 5 tracked snapshot JSONs so the tree matches .gitignore
• If committed: remove/adjust the **/test_snapshots/ ignore rule and document the policy
• git status is clean and consistent after a fresh cargo test

Files to touch

• .gitignore
• contracts/stream_contract/test_snapshots/ (the 5 tracked files)

Out of scope

• Contract test logic.
