Add regression test for emergency pause blocking registration but not affecting existing creator reads

[Chucks1093]

Summary

When the protocol is paused, new creator registrations must be blocked but existing creator data must remain fully readable. A regression test should confirm both behaviors hold simultaneously within the same paused state.

Scope

• Register a creator before pausing
• Pause the protocol
• Attempt to register a second creator and assert it reverts with ProtocolPaused
• Call all read-only view functions for the existing creator and assert they all succeed
• Unpause and confirm registration succeeds again

Acceptance Criteria

• New registration reverts while paused
• All view functions for existing creator succeed while paused
• Registration succeeds again after unpause

ETA: 12 hours
