The\n plan must name this class before implementation begins.\n- **No receipt is generated** on this path (anti-assertion: exception raised\n means no receipt returned).\n- Stripe mock was called exactly **2 times** (initial attempt + exactly one\n retry; `max_retries=1` enforced by the factory).\n- Virtual sleeper recorded **1 backoff event** between the two charge attempts.\n\n### Existing infrastructure retained\n\nThe following are reused as-is:\n- `payment_test_factory` (configures `max_retries=1`, exposes mock call\n history)\n- Stripe mock (records call history)\n- Virtual sleeper (records backoff sequence; no real delays)\n- Stripe adapter regression suite (network timeouts, 402 declines, 429 rate\n limits, 502\u2192200 recovery) \u2014 unchanged\n- Receipt-builder regression tests \u2014 unchanged\n\n---\n\n## Architecture\n\n```\nPRODUCTION (unchanged):\n processPayment()\n \u251c\u2500\u2500 Stripe HTTP client [charge \u2192 200 OK | 402 | 429 | 502]\n \u2514\u2500\u2500 Receipt builder [build receipt from charge_response]\n\nNEW UNIT TESTS:\n Test 1 (happy path)\n payment_test_factory(max_retries=1)\n \u2514\u2500\u2500 Stripe mock (returns 200) \u2500\u2500\u2192 processPayment()\n assert: receipt.stripe_charge_id \u2713\n receipt.amount \u2713\n receipt.currency \u2713\n mock.call_count == 1 \u2713\n\n Test 2 (502 exhaustion)\n payment_test_factory(max_retries=1)\n \u2514\u2500\u2500 Stripe mock (returns 502 \u00d7 2) \u2500\u2500\u2192 processPayment()\n virtual_sleeper records 1 backoff event\n assert: raises NamedExceptionClass \u2713\n no receipt returned \u2713\n mock.call_count == 2 \u2713\n virtual_sleeper.events.count == 1 \u2713\n\nData flow \u2014 502 path:\n charge_args \u2500\u2500\u25b6 processPayment() \u2500\u2500\u25b6 Stripe mock (502)\n \u2502\n virtual_sleeper.record_backoff()\n \u2502\n retry \u2500\u2500\u25b6 Stripe mock (502)\n \u2502\n raises NamedExceptionClass\n (no receipt generated)\n```\n\n---\n\n## NOT in scope\n\n- `processPayment()` production code changes \u2014 explicitly excluded.\n- Additional error code paths (402 decline, 429 rate limit, 503, 504, 0/timeout)\n as unit tests for `processPayment()` \u2014 covered at the adapter level; deferred\n from this plan.\n- Parametric/table-driven test structure \u2014 YAGNI for two cases; consider when\n adding a 3rd path.\n- Idempotency testing \u2014 separate concern; no infrastructure for it yet.\n- Receipt field-value tests for every possible field \u2014 three key fields minimum;\n implementer adds more if deterministic from mock inputs.\n\n## What already exists\n\n| Existing piece | Solves which sub-problem | Reused? |\n|----------------|--------------------------|---------|\n| `payment_test_factory` | Stripe mock wiring, `max_retries=1`, call history | \u2713 yes |\n| Virtual sleeper | Backoff recording without real delays | \u2713 yes |\n| Stripe mock (call history API) | Asserting exact call count | \u2713 yes |\n| Stripe adapter suite (502\u2192200 recovery) | Partial coverage of the retry path | \u2713 retained (not replaced) |\n| Receipt-builder regression tests | Receipt field correctness | \u2713 retained (not replaced) |\n\n## Dream state delta\n\n```\nCURRENT STATE THIS PLAN 12-MONTH IDEAL\nNo unit tests on Two unit tests: Full path coverage:\nprocessPayment(). happy + 502 exhaustion happy, 402, 429, 503,\nStripe adapter suite with assertion 504, 0/timeout, partial\ncovers adapter-level hardening (call count, charges, idempotency,\nedge cases only. receipt fields, concurrency.
