[Informational-1] Lack of Natspec in `OrderBook` contract

Description:
The OrderBook contract currently lacks Natspec documentation for its functions. Natspec (Ethereum Natural Specification Format) is a standardized way to document Solidity code, providing structured comments that describe the purpose, parameters, return values, and potential side effects of functions. Without these comments, it can be challenging for users, integrators, and auditors to quickly understand the intent, expected behavior, and correct usage of each function. This lack of documentation can also hinder the generation of accurate developer documentation and reduce the overall maintainability of the codebase.

Impact:
The absence of Natspec documentation increases the risk of misunderstandings or misuse of the contract's functions. Developers and users may misinterpret the function's intent, leading to incorrect integrations or unexpected behaviors. Additionally, auditors may spend more time trying to infer the purpose and expected outcomes of functions, which can slow down the review process and increase the likelihood of missing subtle issues.

Recommended Mitigation:
It is recommended to add comprehensive Natspec documentation to every public and external function in the OrderBook contract. Each function should include a description of its purpose, detailed explanations of all input parameters, the meaning of its return values, and any important side effects or requirements (such as access control or reentrancy considerations). This will improve code readability, facilitate easier integration for third-party developers, and help ensure that the contract is used as intended.
