Premise Challenge\n\n**Right problem?** Yes. `processPayment()` is the critical payment orchestration layer. Zero unit tests means regressions in the two most important behaviors \u2014 successful charge and graceful 502 degradation \u2014 go undetected.\n\n**Actual outcome:** Confidence that charges produce correct receipts (correctness) and that 502 exhaustion fails predictably and visibly, not silently.\n\n**What if nothing?** Payment regressions are invisible until production. The 502 retry path is entirely untested at the unit level despite being the most dangerous silent failure mode.\n\n### 0B. Existing Code Leverage\n\nPlan correctly retains and reuses:\n- Payment test factory (`max_retries=1`, exposes `mock_call_history`)\n- Injected virtual sleeper (records backoff invocations, no real time delays)\n- MockStripe (configurable 200/502 responses)\n- Receipt-builder regression tests (separate, passing \u2014 not touched)\n- Stripe adapter suite (402, 429, 502 recovery \u2014 adapter-level, not processPayment-level)\n\nNo rebuild of existing infrastructure required.\n\n### 0C.

Implementation Approaches (user selected: Approach B)\n\n**APPROACH A: Minimal** \u2014 Two tests as described, assertions left to implementer. (Completeness: 7/10)\n\n**APPROACH B: Rigorous (SELECTED)** \u2014 Same two tests, with explicit assertion mechanics defined in the plan: named receipt fields, named failure signal, call count == 2, backoff sleeper invoked. All four exposed test infrastructure capabilities get asserted. (Completeness: 10/10)\n\n**Reason for Approach B:** The factory already exposes call history and the virtual sleeper already records backoff. Not requiring assertions on these wastes the infrastructure and leaves the tests able to pass when the retry logic is broken.\n\n### 0F. Mode (user selected: HOLD SCOPE)\n\nTest coverage improvement \u2192 HOLD SCOPE. The two-test scope is correct. Review focus: make assertions bulletproof, not expand scope.\n\n---\n\n## System Architecture\n\nTest-only change.

Premise Challenge\n\n**Right problem?** Yes. `processPayment()` is the critical payment orchestration layer. Zero unit tests means regressions in the two most important behaviors \u2014 successful charge and graceful 502 degradation \u2014 go undetected.\n\n**Actual outcome:** Confidence that charges produce correct receipts (correctness) and that 502 exhaustion fails predictably and visibly, not silently.\n\n**What if nothing?** Payment regressions are invisible until production. The 502 retry path is entirely untested at the unit level despite being the most dangerous silent failure mode.\n\n### 0B. Existing Code Leverage\n\nPlan correctly retains and reuses:\n- Payment test factory (`max_retries=1`, exposes `mock_call_history`)\n- Injected virtual sleeper (records backoff invocations, no real time delays)\n- MockStripe (configurable 200/502 responses)\n- Receipt-builder regression tests (separate, passing \u2014 not touched)\n- Stripe adapter suite (402, 429, 502 recovery \u2014 adapter-level, not processPayment-level)\n\nNo rebuild of existing infrastructure required.\n\n### 0C.

Implementation Approaches (user selected: Approach B)\n\n**APPROACH A: Minimal** \u2014 Two tests as described, assertions left to implementer. (Completeness: 7/10)\n\n**APPROACH B: Rigorous (SELECTED)** \u2014 Same two tests, with explicit assertion mechanics defined in the plan: named receipt fields, named failure signal, call count == 2, backoff sleeper invoked. All four exposed test infrastructure capabilities get asserted. (Completeness: 10/10)\n\n**Reason for Approach B:** The factory already exposes call history and the virtual sleeper already records backoff. Not requiring assertions on these wastes the infrastructure and leaves the tests able to pass when the retry logic is broken.\n\n### 0F.
