## Description

Mints `amount` to `to`. Emits `Transfer(address(0), to, amount)`.
Dev: Reverts with `ContractPaused(MINT)` when `MINT` is paused.
Dev: Reverts with `AccessControlUnauthorizedAccount` when the caller does not hold `MINT_ROLE`.
Dev: Reverts with `InvalidReceiver` when `to == address(0)`.
Dev: Reverts with `PolicyForbids(MINT_RECEIVER_POLICY, ...)` when `to` is not authorized.
Dev: Reverts with `SupplyCapExceeded` when `totalSupply + amount > supplyCap`.
Param: to     Mint recipient.
Param: amount Amount to mint.

## Access control

`MINT_ROLE` gates state-changing mint calls.

## Policy interaction

Checks `MINT_RECEIVER_POLICY`, including during factory initCalls.

## Example

```solidity theme={null}
IB20(target).mint(arg0, arg1);
```
