Inconsistent auction timing vs README (15 minutes vs 3 days)

Description

• The README documentation states that auctions in the marketplace run for 3 days before they expire or settle. Users, bidders, and integrators would reasonably expect this duration when interacting with the contract.

• The README documentation states that auctions in the marketplace run for 3 days before they expire or settle. Users, bidders, and integrators would reasonably expect this duration when interacting with the contract.

Risk

Likelihood:

• This will always occur whenever auctions are created, since the hardcoded value in the contract (15 minutes) directly governs auction duration.

• Users and developers relying on the README will be misled into assuming auctions last 3 days.

Impact:

• Users may lose opportunities to participate in auctions they thought lasted 3 days, but actually expire much sooner.

• Integrators (frontends, bots, or keeper services) relying on documentation may fail to settle or monitor auctions correctly, leading to unexpected settlement behavior and financial losses.
