Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Assemble DX review artifacts before appending the final report

Keep early DX evidence above decisions, update artifact sections in place, and append the report using the actual current file suffix. Re-read after deleting an existing report before choosing the append anchor.

Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Keep outside plan reviews exclusive and invocation-owned

Follow one preflight-selected backend, terminate failed Codex work before fallback, and allocate extra prompt/output files uniquely. Consume only the current invocation’s completed output.

Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

Match the pinned CLI's soft wraps and clipped headings without granting from incomplete frames. Retire completed file requests, retain mode annotations, and ask section captures for a short final acknowledgement after their full report is saved.

Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Preserve review approvals and validate DX comparison artifacts

Keep independent remedies and approved amendments explicit. Give the synthetic DX review its existing documentation and validate peer comparison as required analysis alongside four native decisions.

Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Make the five-finding CEO fixture's application boundary explicit

Materialize the request adapter and service composition used by the synthetic payment application. Explicitly declare the revised unregistered-event and mail-telemetry assumptions while preserving uncaught handler errors, the original invoice path and all five unresolved findings.

Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Keep CEO state-path checks scoped to directory preparation

Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Use checked ports and bounded cleanup in pair-agent tests

Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Preserve queued edit identity and recover clipped Bash permissions

Distinguish separately queued unfinished edits from mutation of one native tool ID. Keep grants bound to an exact owned request and reject reused IDs, ambiguous inputs, and competing owners.

Support the pinned renderer's literal em dash and request a repaint when only the Bash card's top rule is clipped. Grants still require the complete fresh card and an exact native acknowledgment.

Validation: 413 integrated parser/event tests passed; private repaint controls and joint source review passed. Full canonical suite and native periodic rerun remain pending.

Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>

* Keep periodic reviews within their approved contracts and deliverables

Carry exact approvals through engineering review, preserve declared contracts when amending CEO plans, and keep prioritization at the requested decision level. Materialize the revised synthetic SDK reference contract while retaining the five original documentation gaps.

Accept the observed semicolon in the finite DX handoff menu and register the direct source dependencies used by the engineering cases. Regenerate canonical review documents without changing model budgets, retries, count bands, or native completion assertions.

Validation: all-host generation and 275 review, fixture, selection and parity tests passed. Full free-suite and native periodic validation remain pending.

Receipt-builder failure behavior has its own passing regression tests.\nThe payment test factory explicitly configures max_retries=1 and exposes the\nStripe mock call history. Its injected virtual sleeper records backoff without\nreal delays, so an exhausted 502 operation makes exactly two charge attempts.\nThese existing helpers and regression suites remain in use for this change.\n\n## Existing behavior retained\nA successful charge returns a receipt with chargeId copied from Stripe,\namountCents equal to the requested integer amount, and currency equal to\nthe requested currency. For a 1000-cent USD charge returning id ch_paid,\nthe receipt is { chargeId: \"ch_paid\", amountCents: 1000, currency: \"USD\" }.\nOn repeated 502 responses, max_retries=1 means two total charge attempts\nseparated by one recorded 100 ms backoff, followed by PaymentUnavailable.\nThese contracts are already implemented; this plan adds their unit coverage.\n\n## Proposed tests\nAdd two tests in the existing processPayment suite using its current factory,\nStripe mock and virtual sleeper. Other tests and production code stay as-is.\n\n1. Successful charge: arrange the Stripe mock to return id ch_paid, call\n processPayment with amountCents=1000 and currency=USD, and assert only\n that the returned receipt is truthy. This is the complete planned assertion.\n2. Repeated 502: arrange two consecutive Stripe 502 responses, call\n processPayment, and assert only that it rejects with PaymentUnavailable.\n No assertion about the mock call history or virtual sleeper record\n is planned for this test.",
"savedPlan": "# Plan: Payment Processing — Test Coverage (CEO review, HOLD SCOPE)\n\nSource: `PLAN.md` @ 595919a on `main` (repo `gstack-plan-count-rRdsBt`).\nReviewer: /plan-ceo-review, session 3915275-1789551643-98373ea2, 2026-09-16.\nMode: HOLD SCOPE (explicit user instruction). Review only; no code changes.\n\n## Context\n\nThe two contracts below are already implemented in `processPayment()` and have\nno direct unit coverage in the processPayment suite. The plan adds two tests so a\nfuture refactor of the receipt builder or the retry loop fails a test instead of\nshipping silently. Deliverable count: 1 file edited (the existing processPayment\nsuite; estimate, file not present in this checkout), 0 files added, 0 deleted.\n\n## Pre-review system audit\n\n| Check | Result |\n|---|---|\n| Repo contents | `CLAUDE.md`, `PLAN.md` only. `processPayment()`, the Stripe adapter suite, the payment test factory, the Stripe mock and the virtual sleeper are NOT in this checkout. Every code-level claim below is plan-stated and unverified here (marked \"unknown\"). |\n| Remote / base branch | No `origin` remote; base branch `main` (git-native fallback). |\n| History / stash / in-flight | 1 commit (`595919a Seed review plan`), no stash, no other branches, no TODO/FIXME/HACK. |\n| TODOS.md / design doc / handoff | None. `/office-hours` skipped per user instruction. |\n| Prior learnings / brain context | 0 learnings (cross-project search enabled this session, D0.1); all brain digests cold. |\n| Retrospective | No earlier review cycles, refactors or reverts on this branch. |\n| Frontend/UI scope | None. Section 11 will be a no-UI skip. |\n| Taste calibration | Skipped (EXPANSION modes only). |\n\n### Landscape check (Aside unavailable; WebSearch used, read-only)\n\n- **Layer 1 (tried and true):** retry tests inject the clock/sleeper, then assert the backend attempt count and the recorded delay schedule. Output tests assert the full observable value, not a presence check.\n- **Layer 2 (search):** 2026 guidance agrees: \"assert backend invocation count\" and \"assert calculated ranges and caps from recorded delay requests instead of measuring wall-clock time\"; define `maxAttempts` precisely because teams disagree whether the first call counts. Sources: [OneUptime, test jittered retries deterministically](https://oneuptime.com/blog/post/2026-08-14-test-jittered-retries-deterministically/view), [QASkills, testing 429 retry/backoff](https://qaskills.sh/blog/testing-api-rate-limiting-429-retry-guide), [QASkills, Vitest fake timers](https://qaskills.sh/blog/vitest-fake-timers-date-testing-guide).\n- **Layer 3 (first principles):** a test that passes for `{}` or for zero retries is a proxy metric (a test exists) rather than protection (a regression is caught). The plan's own fixtures already record attempt history and backoff; the plan's only cost to use them is a few assertion lines.\n\n## Step 0\n\n### 0A. Premise challenge\n1. **Right problem?** Yes: pin two already-implemented contracts with unit tests in the suite that owns `processPayment()`. No simpler framing exists; the framing is correct but the proposed assertions do not reach it.\n2. **Outcome vs proxy.** Outcome: a regression in receipt shape or retry policy fails CI. Proposed test 1 (`receipt` truthy) passes when `chargeId` is missing, `amountCents` is `100000`, or `currency` is `\"usd\"`. Proposed test 2 (rejects `PaymentUnavailable`) passes with zero retries, five retries, no backoff, or a real 100 ms sleep. As written the plan produces the proxy (coverage) and not the outcome (protection).\n3. **Do nothing?** The contracts already hold in production. The pain is latent, not hypothetical: the Stripe adapter suite covers 502-then-success but nothing pins the exhausted-502 path or the receipt field mapping, so a refactor breaks them silently.\n\n### 0B. Existing code leverage (all plan-stated, unverified in this checkout)\n| Sub-problem | Existing code | Used by plan? |\n|---|---|---|\n| Deterministic retries | Factory sets `max_retries=1` | Yes |\n| Observe attempts | Factory exposes Stripe mock call history | No (explicitly declined) |\n| Observe backoff | Injected virtual sleeper records delays, no real waits | No (explicitly declined) |\n| 502 then success | Stripe adapter suite | Already covered; not duplicated |\n| Receipt-builder failures | Own regression tests | Already covered; not duplicated |\n\nNothing is rebuilt. The only leverage gap is that two existing observability hooks (call history, sleeper record) sit unused next to the tests that need them.\n\n### 0C. Dream state\n```\n CURRENT STATE THIS PLAN 12-MONTH IDEAL\n Contracts implemented, ---> 2 tests in processPayment ---> processPayment suite reads as the\n pinned only indirectly suite pin happy path and spec: every receipt field, attempt\n via adapter/receipt suites exhausted-retry path count and backoff schedule asserted\n```\nThe plan moves toward the ideal only if the assertions actually pin the contracts. With presence-only assertions it adds test count without adding protection, which is drift toward the proxy.\n\n### Decision ledger\n\n| ID and owner | Contract and evidence | Current | Proposed | Status | Exact approval and scope |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| D1 — user | Test 1 assertion depth.

As you go, write your plan-mode plan to /tmp/g-fmjf7yah/gstack-paid-shard-RjoxNc/tmp/gstack-e2e-plan-ceo-fQVt9h/gstack-test-plan-ceo.md (use Edit/Write to that exact path).\nProceed directly to the requested CEO review; skip the optional /office-hours prerequisite.\nFinish after this CEO review; I will handle subsequent reviews manually.\n\n# Plan: Payment Processing Integration\n\n## Existing contracts retained\nThe approved motivation is to move payment orchestration out of the prior\nlibrary-adapter handler into application-owned code while retaining the\nexisting payment and receipt product behavior. The shared dispatcher remains\navailable; the proposed bypass below is still an architectural choice to review.\nThe existing ingress middleware verifies the Stripe signature against the\nraw request body and rejects invalid signatures before invoking handlers.\nThe existing ingress forwards only `payment_intent.succeeded` events to\nthis handler; other Stripe event types are acknowledged without invoking it.\nThe existing payload adapter exposes `event.data.object.metadata.user_id`\nas `request.params.userId`. This params object is the parsed body-data map,\nnot URL query/path parameters; all users share one webhook URL.\nThe adapter acknowledges missing, nil, or empty user_id metadata with\nHTTP 200 and an event-correlated warning before invoking this handler.\nFor every nonempty external string it performs no SQL-format validation.\nThe adapter forwards that external string unchanged. It does not cast,\nescape, or SQL-sanitize it; a valid signature does not make it safe for SQL.\nUser IDs are opaque TEXT values, including punctuation and Unicode. The\nlookup has no integer/UUID cast or ID-format restriction; every nonempty\nstring is a valid identifier representation.\nAn existing ingress ownership guard checks the PaymentIntent ID against\nits stored opaque user-ID binding before invoking the handler. A mismatch\nis acknowledged with HTTP 200 and an event-correlated warning. This is an\nidentity comparison, not SQL-format validation; the adapter still forwards\nthe original string unchanged.\nThe existing webhook event guard deduplicates deliveries by Stripe event ID,\nand an existing per-user lock serializes payment updates.\nThe event guard acquires the existing per-user lock before checking the\ncommitted completion marker, and rechecks after any lock wait. It holds\nthat lock through the handler and completion bookkeeping; an overlapping\ncompleted duplicate does not invoke the handler.\nThe new handler runs inside those unchanged guards; this plan does not\nreplace signature verification, event deduplication, or update locking.\nThe existing user update assigns payment_status=paid and the payment intent\nID; it does not increment a balance or counter. Repeating the same payment\nintent assigns the same values, independently of the event-ID guard.\nThe existing lookup-result guard acknowledges unknown/deleted users with\nHTTP 200, logs the event, and stops before user updates or email fan-out.\nThe retained recipient-policy helper treats a nil or empty email address as\nskipped_missing_address: payment processing continues normally, and no mail\nclient call is attempted. It persists an event/user/PaymentIntent-correlated\nskip record, emits a structured warning, and increments the existing counter.\nThe existing notification runbook already covers that skip result: correct\nthe account address, then retry only its recorded notification using the\nsame PaymentIntent idempotency key. It never replays the payment for this case.\nThat recipient policy does not catch failures from sends to nonempty addresses;\nthe shared mail client still rethrows those exceptions to this handler.\nAccount deletion uses the same per-user lock. The handler holds it from\nlookup through update and inline email, so deletion either precedes lookup\n(the existing unknown/deleted-user path) or follows the handler; it cannot\nremove the user between lookup and update.\nThe ingress wrapper already logs event IDs, outcomes, and durations, with\nalerts for failed webhook processing. Those controls remain in place.\nThe existing DB and mail clients attach the adapter user ID and event ID\nto outcome traces, including update success and email delivery success or\nfailure. These shared clients rethrow exceptions unchanged; tracing does\nnot rescue email errors or change the inline email call below.\nThe shared mail client also publishes its delivery failure rate to the\nexisting dashboard and tested on-call alert, including caught exceptions.\nThe existing incident runbook uses the correlated DB and mail outcomes to\ndistinguish committed payments from failed notifications. It directs on-call\nto check provider status and retry only the failed notification through the\nexisting notification retry procedure, never replay the payment blindly.\nDB lookup/update exceptions propagate to that ingress wrapper, which logs\nthe failure and returns HTTP 500 so Stripe retries the event. The existing\nevent-ID dedup guard records completion only after the database transaction\ncommits; failed or rolled-back database attempts remain retryable.\nThe deployment already has a handler feature flag and a documented, tested\nrollback to the prior handler; this change uses that existing rollout path.\nThat documented manual rollout checklist already requires a staging\npayment-event replay for this handler and verification of the user update,\nemail delivery, and correlated outcome trace before enabling it broadly.\nThis is manual deployment verification, not automated handler regression\ncoverage; no new automated tests are planned in the Tests section below.\nThe existing notification contract sends one payment receipt per PaymentIntent,\nincluding a summary of the user orders. With zero orders it still sends one\nreceipt with an empty order summary; the order loop is data loading, never\none email or payment update per order. These product semantics are retained.\nThe shared mail client already derives a provider idempotency key from that\nPaymentIntent ID. The provider durably suppresses duplicate successful sends\nfor the same key across process crashes, webhook retries, and manual retries.\nBefore rethrowing a failed or timed-out send, that client durably records the\nnotification attempt for the existing retry procedure. The dashboard and\non-call alert already monitor failed-notification age and backlog after an\noutage clears, as well as failure rate; the runbook retries those records.\nThe existing mail-client deadline is one second, enforced by cancellation\nof the provider request with no inline retries. It raises MailTimeout on\nexpiry. The retained DB/ingress deadlines bound their combined work to two\nseconds, leaving headroom inside the existing ten-second webhook deadline.\nNeither deadlines nor retry records catch the mail exception for this handler;\nthe shared client still rethrows it to the inline caller described below.\nEvery existing event-correlated outcome trace includes the active handler\nidentity (prior or new), so rollout attribution is already available.\nIf a separate handler class is retained, its already-approved name is\n`Webhooks::StripePaymentWebhookHandler` in the application-owned namespace,\nnever the Stripe library namespace. This naming choice is settled; whether\nto add a separate implementation or reuse WebhookDispatcher remains open.\n\n## Architecture\nWe're adding a new `StripePaymentWebhookHandler` class that will handle Stripe webhooks.\nThis bypasses the existing `WebhookDispatcher` module — we want a clean\nnamespace separation.\n\n## Database access\nThe new endpoint reads `request.params.userId` directly into a raw SQL\nfragment for the lookup query.\n\n## Webhook fan-out\nOn payment success we update the user record AND fire a notification email.\nBoth happen inline; no error handling on the email leg.\n\n## Tests\nNone planned. We'll rely on the existing integration suite catching regressions.\n\n## Performance\nEach webhook lookup hits the database for the user, then fetches each\norder in a loop.",
"savedPlan": "# CEO Review Working Plan: Payment Processing Integration\n\nGenerated by /plan-ceo-review on 2026-09-16\nBranch: main | Base: main | Mode: HOLD SCOPE (explicit user instruction)\nPlan under review: PLAN.md (repo root)\nSession: 3915266-1789551647-b893326e\n\n## Context\n\nThe approved motivation (PLAN.md lines 8-11) is to move payment orchestration\nout of the prior library-adapter handler into application-owned code while\nretaining existing payment and receipt product behavior exactly. Everything\naround the handler is already built and unchanged: Stripe signature check,\n`payment_intent.succeeded` filter, ownership guard, event-ID dedup + per-user\nlock, unknown-user guard, recipient policy, shared mail client (idempotency key,\ndurable failed-attempt record, 1s deadline, MailTimeout), DB/mail outcome\ntracing with handler identity, feature flag + tested rollback, ingress logging\nand alerts. The only new code is the handler body: user lookup, user update,\norder load, receipt send.\n\nThis review holds that scope. It traces every failure path of the new handler\nbody and repairs only what is needed to keep the stated invariants.\n\n## Pre-review audit (evidence)\n\n- Repo: single commit `af9c998 Seed review plan`; files CLAUDE.md, PLAN.md.\n No remote URL, no stash, no TODOS.md, no FIXME/TODO markers, no design doc,\n no handoff note. Platform unknown -> git-native; base branch `main`.\n- Prior learnings: 0. Brain digests: none. Active decisions: none.\n- Frontend scope: none (Section 11 = no-UI skip).\n- Landscape (Aside unavailable, WebSearch used): current guidance agrees on\n verify -> dedupe -> commit -> 200 fast, side effects off the request path;\n Stripe retries failed deliveries with backoff up to ~72h then disables the\n endpoint until manually re-enabled. Sources: hookray.com, hooklistener.com,\n theroadtoenterprise.com, snowinch.com, docs.stripe.com.\n- Layer 3: this codebase already has durable notification retry records,\n a provider idempotency key, and a runbook; queueing the email is over-solving.\n The live question is only whether a mail failure should 500 a committed\n payment (row R3).\n\n## Step 0A-0C\n\n**0A Premise:** right problem, correct framing (ownership refactor, zero\nproduct-behavior change). Doing nothing leaves working code hostage to the\nlibrary adapter's shape.\n\n**0B Leverage:** all guards, clients, tracing, flag, runbooks exist and are\nretained. The one rebuilt thing is routing (bypassing `WebhookDispatcher`);\nnamespace separation is already delivered by the settled `Webhooks::` name.\n\n**0C Dream state:**\n```\n CURRENT STATE THIS PLAN 12-MONTH IDEAL\n Payment orchestration lives ---> Webhooks::StripePaymentWebhook ---> Every Stripe event type is an\n in a library-adapter handler; Handler owns lookup/update/ app-owned handler registered with\n guards, mail, tracing, flag order-load/receipt; guards one dispatcher; queries bound,\n are shared and app-owned. unchanged. receipts batch-loaded, handler\n contract covered by unit+integration\n tests so rollout is flag-flip only.\n```\nToward the ideal on ownership; away on dispatcher bypass, raw SQL, N+1 under\na 2s DB budget; neutral-to-away on tests.\n\n**0E Mode:** HOLD SCOPE, explicit user instruction (\"review this plan\nthoroughly in HOLD SCOPE mode\"). No mode question asked.\n\n**0G HOLD SCOPE checks:** 1 new class, est. 3-5 files (handler, registration/\nflag wiring, lookup query, tests if approved). Under thresholds; the dispatcher\nbypass is the one extra moving part to challenge (R1). Minimum change = one\nhandler registered with the existing dispatcher + repairs required by stated\ninvariants. No item is deferrable without weakening an invariant; no\ndefer/keep questions raised.\n\n## Stated limits (keep unchanged)\n\n| Measure | Value | Source |\n|---|---|---|\n| Webhook deadline | 10 s | PLAN.md L95 |\n| DB + ingress combined deadline | 2 s | PLAN.md L94-95 |\n| Mail client deadline | 1 s, cancel, no inline retries, raises MailTimeout | PLAN.md L92-94 |\n| Receipts per PaymentIntent | exactly 1 (empty order summary allowed) | PLAN.md L81-84 |\n| User update | assign payment_status=paid + PI id (idempotent, no counters) | PLAN.md L40-42 |\n| Handler class name (if separate) | `Webhooks::StripePaymentWebhookHandler` | PLAN.md L100-103 (settled) |\n| Rollout | existing feature flag + tested rollback + manual staging replay | PLAN.md L74-80 |\n\n## Decision ledger\n\n| ID and owner | Contract and evidence | Current | Proposed | Status | Exact approval and scope |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| R1 (plan author) Dispatcher integration | PLAN.md L10-11, L100-108: \"whether to add a separate implementation or reuse WebhookDispatcher remains open\"; plan proposes bypass | New class bypasses `WebhookDispatcher` | A) register handler with existing dispatcher; B) bypass as written; C) reuse dispatcher module directly, no new class | unresolved | pending |\n| R2 (plan author) Lookup query construction | PLAN.md L21-26, L110-112: raw SQL fragment from `request.params.userId`; IDs are opaque TEXT incl. punctuation/Unicode, never sanitized | Raw SQL interpolation | A) bound parameter / query builder; B) keep raw fragment | unresolved | pending |\n| R3 (plan author) Email leg failure handling | PLAN.md L52-53, L60-73, L85-97, L114-116: mail client rethrows; DB errors -> 500 -> Stripe retry; failed sends durably recorded for runbook; no error handling on email leg | Unrescued inline send; mail failure -> 500 | A) rescue named mail errors after commit, log correlated, 200; B) keep unrescued (500 -> Stripe retry); C) rescue but 500 anyway | unresolved | pending |\n| R4 (plan author) Order loading | PLAN.md L81-84, L94-95, L121-123: order loop is data loading for one receipt; DB budget 2 s | Per-order query in a loop (N+1) | A) single batch query; B) keep loop | unresolved | pending |\n| R5 (plan author) Automated tests | PLAN.md L76-80, L118-119: no new automated tests; manual staging replay only | None planned | A) unit + integration for handler paths; B) integration only; C) none (as written) | unresolved | pending |\n| D1 (user) gstack routing rules in CLAUDE.md | preamble routing-injection block | absent | append routing section + chore commit | approved | AUQ D1 answer \"Add routing rules\"; applied after plan mode exits (edit + commit blocked in plan mode) |\n\n## NOT in scope\n\n(none yet)\n\n## Working plan (current values; amended as rows resolve)\n\n### Architecture\nPending R1.

Effort S (human ~half day / CC ~10 min). Risk low. Pros: single routing path, flag and handler-identity trace stay where they are, namespace separation comes from the name. Cons: depends on the dispatcher's registration API accepting an app-namespace handler (unknown, cheap to verify). Reuse: dispatcher, all guards. Verification: existing dispatcher tests + handler tests (R5).\n- **B) Bypass `WebhookDispatcher` as written.** Wire the new class directly from ingress.

Pros: zero new files beyond the dispatcher edit; one path. Cons: the dispatcher becomes payment-aware, defeating the ownership goal; the settled name is unused; harder to flag-switch prior vs new. Reuse: dispatcher. Verification: dispatcher tests grow payment cases.\n\nNote: options differ in kind, not coverage — no completeness score.\n",

"savedPlan": "# Plan: Payment Processing — Test Coverage (CEO review working plan)\n\nSource: `PLAN.md` @ 09e1a93 on `main`. Review: `/plan-ceo-review`, mode HOLD SCOPE (explicit user instruction). Base branch: `main`.\n\n## Context\nprocessPayment() already implements two contracts (successful receipt shape; retry-then-PaymentUnavailable on repeated 502). PLAN.md adds two unit tests for them in the existing processPayment suite. Production code, other tests, and the test factory (max_retries=1, Stripe mock with call history, virtual sleeper) stay as-is. This working plan records the review's evidence, the decision ledger, and the amended plan as decisions are made.\n\n## Stated limits (recorded, unchanged unless approved)\n| Measure | Value | Unit | Source |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| Retries | max_retries=1 → 2 total attempts | attempts | PLAN.md L12-14, L22 |\n| Backoff between attempts | 100 | ms, recorded by virtual sleeper | PLAN.md L23 |\n| Test amount / currency / charge id | 1000 / USD / ch_paid | cents / ISO code / id | PLAN.md L20-21 |\n| Deliverables | 2 tests added, 1 test file edited, 0 new files, 0 production changes | count | PLAN.md L27-28 |\n| Retained | Stripe adapter suite (timeouts, 402, 429, 502→success), receipt-builder regressions | suites | PLAN.md L9-11 |\n\n## Pre-review system audit\n- Repo contains only `PLAN.md` and `CLAUDE.md`; one commit (\"Seed review plan\"). No production or test source is checked in here, so the processPayment suite, factory, mock and sleeper described in PLAN.md cannot be read. All references to them below are taken from PLAN.md and are marked **unverified**.\n- No stash, no TODO/FIXME, no TODOS.md, no design doc, no handoff note, no prior learnings, no brain digests.\n- Retrospective check: no prior review cycles in history.\n- Frontend/UI scope: none (DESIGN_SCOPE = no).\n- Landscape (Layer 1/2/3): mock the vendor adapter and use fake timers; assert your own contract, not Stripe's; for retry logic the load-bearing assertions are attempt count and backoff, not only the terminal error.\n\n## Step 0 evidence\n\n### 0A. Premise Challenge\n1. Right problem: yes. Two implemented contracts have no direct unit coverage at the processPayment level; adding them is the correct, minimal framing.\n2. Outcome: a regression in receipt shape or retry behavior fails CI before it reaches users. As written, test 1 (truthy) and test 2 (rejection only) do not reach that outcome: they pass on a receipt with the wrong chargeId/amount/currency and on a retry loop that makes 1, 3 or 50 attempts with no backoff. The plan solves a proxy (\"a test exists\") rather than the outcome (\"the contract is pinned\").\n3. Do nothing: the contracts stay implemented but unpinned; the pain is real because the plan itself says the contracts matter enough to document to the cent and millisecond.\n\n### 0B. Existing Code Leverage\n| Sub-problem | Existing code (per PLAN.md, unverified) | Reuse |\n|---|---|---|\n| Arrange a successful charge | factory + Stripe mock returning an id | reuse as-is |\n| Arrange consecutive 502s | Stripe mock (adapter suite already does 502→success) | reuse the same arrangement pattern |\n| Observe attempt count | factory exposes Stripe mock call history | already built; the plan chooses not to read it |\n| Observe backoff | injected virtual sleeper records backoff | already built; the plan chooses not to read it |\nNothing is being rebuilt. The only gap is that two existing observability hooks (call history, sleeper record) are left unused by the tests that exist to exercise them.\n\n### 0C. Dream State Mapping\n```\n CURRENT STATE THIS PLAN 12-MONTH IDEAL\n contracts implemented, ---> 2 tests exist; receipt shape ---> every processPayment contract\n pinned only indirectly and retry count still unpinned pinned by one explicit test each;\n via adapter suite retry/backoff regressions fail CI\n```\nThe plan moves toward the ideal only if the assertions pin the stated values. With truthy/rejection-only assertions it moves sideways: a test that cannot fail on the regression it names.\n\n### 0E. Mode\nHOLD SCOPE, explicit user choice. Planned file changes: 1 edit (processPayment suite), 0 adds, 0 deletes (estimate; suite path unverified).\n\n## Decision ledger\n| ID and owner | Contract and evidence | Current | Proposed | Status | Exact approval and scope |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| R1 (test author) | Successful-charge receipt: `{ chargeId: \"ch_paid\", amountCents: 1000, currency: \"USD\" }` (PLAN.md L18-21). Existing coverage: receipt-builder regressions (indirect, unverified). | Test 1 asserts only that the receipt is truthy (PLAN.md L30-32). | A) deep-equal the full receipt; B) assert `chargeId === \"ch_paid\"` only; C) keep truthy. | unresolved | — |\n| R2 (test author) | Repeated 502: exactly 2 attempts, one recorded 100 ms backoff, then PaymentUnavailable (PLAN.md L22-23). Factory exposes call history and sleeper record (L12-14). | Test 2 asserts only rejection with PaymentUnavailable (PLAN.md L33-36). | A) assert rejection + call history length 2 + sleeper record `[100]`; B) rejection + call history length 2; C) keep rejection only. | unresolved (pending R1) | — |\n\n## currentDecision: R1 — How much of the receipt contract should test 1 assert?\nHeader: R1 receipt assertion\n\nCommitment comparison (Proposed):\n```text\nCommitment | Source/approval or pending | Current | A | B | C\nReceipt is returned (truthy) | PLAN.md L32, planned | yes | yes | yes | yes\nchargeId === \"ch_paid\" | PLAN.md L21, pending | no | yes | yes | no\namountCents === 1000 (integer) | PLAN.md L19-21, pending | no | yes | no | no\ncurrency === \"USD\" | PLAN.md L19-21, pending | no | yes | no | no\nNo extra keys on receipt | PLAN.md L21 (exact literal) | no | yes (deep) | no | no\nProduction code / other tests | PLAN.md L8, L28 approved | as-is | as-is | as-is | as-is\n```\n\nA) Deep-equal the full receipt (recommended). Replace the truthy check with an exact equality assertion against `{ chargeId: \"ch_paid\", amountCents: 1000, currency: \"USD\" }`. Effort S; risk low. Pros: pins every value the plan documents; fails on a float amount, a wrong currency, or a chargeId copied from the wrong field; zero new helpers, same factory and mock. Cons: if the receipt legitimately carries additional keys the plan does not list, the literal must be widened (a 1-line fix); slightly more brittle to intentional receipt-shape changes, which is the point. Reuse: existing factory/mock. Verification coverage: full receipt contract. Completeness 10/10.\n\nB) Assert chargeId only. Keep truthy and add `receipt.chargeId === \"ch_paid\"`. Effort S; risk low. Pros: catches the most visible regression (wrong id); one extra line. Cons: amountCents and currency stay unpinned even though the plan states them to the cent; a rounding bug in amountCents passes. Reuse: existing factory/mock. Verification coverage: happy path partially pinned. Completeness 7/10.\n\nC) Keep truthy only (as planned). No change to PLAN.md test 1. Effort S (zero work); risk medium. Pros: matches PLAN.md verbatim; fastest. Cons: the test passes on any non-null return, including a receipt with wrong id, amount and currency; it cannot fail on the regression it is named for. Reuse: n/a. Verification coverage: existence only. Completeness 3/10.\n\n## Amended plan (applied decisions only)\n_No decisions applied yet. PLAN.md \"Proposed tests\" stands as the current plan until R1/R2 are answered._\n\n## NOT in scope\n- Production changes to processPayment(), the Stripe adapter, or the receipt builder (PLAN.md L8, L28; retained by HOLD SCOPE).\n- Changes to existing Stripe adapter suite or receipt-builder regressions (PLAN.md L9-11, L15).\n",

The shared dispatcher remains\navailable; the proposed bypass below is still an architectural choice to review.\nThe existing ingress middleware verifies the Stripe signature against the\nraw request body and rejects invalid signatures before invoking handlers.\nThe existing ingress forwards only `payment_intent.succeeded` events to\nthis handler; other Stripe event types are acknowledged without invoking it.\nThe existing payload adapter exposes `event.data.object.metadata.user_id`\nas `request.params.userId`. This params object is the parsed body-data map,\nnot URL query/path parameters; all users share one webhook URL.\nThe adapter acknowledges missing, nil, or empty user_id metadata with\nHTTP 200 and an event-correlated warning before invoking this handler.\nFor every nonempty external string it performs no SQL-format validation.\nThe adapter forwards that external string unchanged. It does not cast,\nescape, or SQL-sanitize it; a valid signature does not make it safe for SQL.\nUser IDs are opaque TEXT values, including punctuation and Unicode. The\nlookup has no integer/UUID cast or ID-format restriction; every nonempty\nstring is a valid identifier representation.\nAn existing ingress ownership guard checks the PaymentIntent ID against\nits stored opaque user-ID binding before invoking the handler. A mismatch\nis acknowledged with HTTP 200 and an event-correlated warning. This is an\nidentity comparison, not SQL-format validation; the adapter still forwards\nthe original string unchanged.\nThe existing webhook event guard deduplicates deliveries by Stripe event ID,\nand an existing per-user lock serializes payment updates.\nThe event guard acquires the existing per-user lock before checking the\ncommitted completion marker, and rechecks after any lock wait. It holds\nthat lock through the handler and completion bookkeeping; an overlapping\ncompleted duplicate does not invoke the handler.\nThe new handler runs inside those unchanged guards; this plan does not\nreplace signature verification, event deduplication, or update locking.\nThe existing user update assigns payment_status=paid and the payment intent\nID; it does not increment a balance or counter. Repeating the same payment\nintent assigns the same values, independently of the event-ID guard.\nThe existing lookup-result guard acknowledges unknown/deleted users with\nHTTP 200, logs the event, and stops before user updates or email fan-out.\nThe retained recipient-policy helper treats a nil or empty email address as\nskipped_missing_address: payment processing continues normally, and no mail\nclient call is attempted. It persists an event/user/PaymentIntent-correlated\nskip record, emits a structured warning, and increments the existing counter.\nThe existing notification runbook already covers that skip result: correct\nthe account address, then retry only its recorded notification using the\nsame PaymentIntent idempotency key. It never replays the payment for this case.\nThat recipient policy does not catch failures from sends to nonempty addresses;\nthe shared mail client still rethrows those exceptions to this handler.\nAccount deletion uses the same per-user lock. The handler holds it from\nlookup through update and inline email, so deletion either precedes lookup\n(the existing unknown/deleted-user path) or follows the handler; it cannot\nremove the user between lookup and update.\nThe ingress wrapper already logs event IDs, outcomes, and durations, with\nalerts for failed webhook processing. Those controls remain in place.\nThe existing DB and mail clients attach the adapter user ID and event ID\nto outcome traces, including update success and email delivery success or\nfailure. These shared clients rethrow exceptions unchanged; tracing does\nnot rescue email errors or change the inline email call below.\nThe shared mail client also publishes its delivery failure rate to the\nexisting dashboard and tested on-call alert, including caught exceptions.\nThe existing incident runbook uses the correlated DB and mail outcomes to\ndistinguish committed payments from failed notifications. It directs on-call\nto check provider status and retry only the failed notification through the\nexisting notification retry procedure, never replay the payment blindly.\nDB lookup/update exceptions propagate to that ingress wrapper, which logs\nthe failure and returns HTTP 500 so Stripe retries the event. The existing\nevent-ID dedup guard records completion only after the database transaction\ncommits; failed or rolled-back database attempts remain retryable.\nThe deployment already has a handler feature flag and a documented, tested\nrollback to the prior handler; this change uses that existing rollout path.\nThat documented manual rollout checklist already requires a staging\npayment-event replay for this handler and verification of the user update,\nemail delivery, and correlated outcome trace before enabling it broadly.\nThis is manual deployment verification, not automated handler regression\ncoverage; no new automated tests are planned in the Tests section below.\nThe existing notification contract sends one payment receipt per PaymentIntent,\nincluding a summary of the user orders. With zero orders it still sends one\nreceipt with an empty order summary; the order loop is data loading, never\none email or payment update per order. These product semantics are retained.\nThe shared mail client already derives a provider idempotency key from that\nPaymentIntent ID. The provider durably suppresses duplicate successful sends\nfor the same key across process crashes, webhook retries, and manual retries.\nBefore rethrowing a failed or timed-out send, that client durably records the\nnotification attempt for the existing retry procedure. The dashboard and\non-call alert already monitor failed-notification age and backlog after an\noutage clears, as well as failure rate; the runbook retries those records.\nThe existing mail-client deadline is one second, enforced by cancellation\nof the provider request with no inline retries. It raises MailTimeout on\nexpiry. The retained DB/ingress deadlines bound their combined work to two\nseconds, leaving headroom inside the existing ten-second webhook deadline.\nNeither deadlines nor retry records catch the mail exception for this handler;\nthe shared client still rethrows it to the inline caller described below.\nEvery existing event-correlated outcome trace includes the active handler\nidentity (prior or new), so rollout attribution is already available.\nIf a separate handler class is retained, its already-approved name is\n`Webhooks::StripePaymentWebhookHandler` in the application-owned namespace,\nnever the Stripe library namespace. This naming choice is settled; whether\nto add a separate implementation or reuse WebhookDispatcher remains open.\n\n## Architecture\nWe're adding a new `StripePaymentWebhookHandler` class that will handle Stripe webhooks.\nThis bypasses the existing `WebhookDispatcher` module — we want a clean\nnamespace separation.\n\n## Database access\nThe new endpoint reads `request.params.userId` directly into a raw SQL\nfragment for the lookup query.\n\n## Webhook fan-out\nOn payment success we update the user record AND fire a notification email.\nBoth happen inline; no error handling on the email leg.\n\n## Tests\nNone planned. We'll rely on the existing integration suite catching regressions.\n\n## Performance\nEach webhook lookup hits the database for the user, then fetches each\norder in a loop.",

Mode: HOLD SCOPE (explicit user instruction).\nReview depth: scope and feasibility decisions plus the repairs needed to meet the plan's own stated invariants. No expansions.\n\n## Context\n\nThe approved motivation (PLAN.md:8-11) is to move payment orchestration out of the prior library-adapter handler into application-owned code while keeping payment and receipt behavior identical. The plan sits inside a large set of retained contracts (signature verification, event dedup, per-user lock, ownership guard, recipient policy, idempotent mail sends, feature flag + rollback). The four short proposal sections (Architecture, Database access, Webhook fan-out, Tests, Performance; PLAN.md:105-123) are where the risk lives. This review holds scope and traces every failure path of those four sections against the retained contracts.\n\nRepo audit: fixture repo with one commit (`f30cc17 Seed review plan`), files `PLAN.md` and `CLAUDE.md` only. No remote, no TODOS.md, no design doc, no handoff note, no stashes, no FIXME/TODO markers, no prior learnings. Base branch: `main`. Handler source is not in this repo; every claim about existing code is taken from PLAN.md's \"Existing contracts retained\" and marked as such.\n\n## Step 0 evidence\n\n### 0A. Premise Challenge\n1. Right problem? Yes, narrowly. Moving orchestration into app-owned code is a sound ownership move. But the plan's proposals re-litigate solved problems: the shared `WebhookDispatcher` already exists (PLAN.md:10), the ORM/lookup layer already treats user IDs as opaque TEXT (PLAN.md:24-26), the mail client already has idempotency and retry records (PLAN.md:85-91). The new class should be thin orchestration, not a second infrastructure.\n2. Outcome: identical paid-status update and one receipt per PaymentIntent, now in code the team owns. The plan reaches it directly except where it weakens guarantees (raw SQL, unnamed email exceptions, no tests).\n3. Do nothing: the prior library-adapter handler keeps working. Pain is ownership/maintainability, not a live outage. That argues for a small, safe diff, not a shortcut-laden one.\n\nLandscape (WebSearch, Aside unavailable): the 2026 consensus Stripe pattern is verify → dedup on event.id → transactional state change → side effects via job → 200 within 10s. This plan already has verify/dedup/lock from retained contracts; the inline email is bounded (1s mail deadline, 2s DB/ingress budget, 10s webhook deadline). First-principles delta: the danger is not latency, it is semantics: an email exception after a committed payment surfaces as a generic HTTP 500.\n\n### 0B.

Cons: namespace separation is by module name only, not by entry point; dispatcher registration API must accommodate the new class. Reuse: dispatcher, all guards. Verification: existing dispatcher routing tests plus handler unit tests (pending D5).\nB) Separate class bypassing the dispatcher (as written). Summary: handler wired directly from ingress. Effort: M. Risk: medium. Pros: hard boundary from the library namespace; no dispatcher changes. Cons: two routing paths to keep in sync; every retained guard (:38-39) must be re-proven on the new path; \"clean namespace\" is already achieved by the approved class name. Reuse: guards only. Verification: new routing tests required.\nC) No new class; add orchestration inside the dispatcher. Summary: skip the handler class entirely. Effort: S. Risk: medium. Pros: smallest diff. Cons: contradicts the settled naming decision (:100-103); grows the dispatcher into business logic; weaker rollout attribution. Reuse: dispatcher.

First-principles delta: the danger is not latency, it is semantics: an email exception after a committed payment surfaces as a generic HTTP 500.\n\n### 0B. Existing Code Leverage (from PLAN.md contracts; code not in repo)\n| Sub-problem | Existing code | Plan reuses? |\n|---|---|---|\n| Signature verification | ingress middleware (:12-13) | Yes (unchanged) |\n| Event filtering to `payment_intent.succeeded` | ingress (:14-15) | Yes |\n| user_id extraction, nil/empty guard | payload adapter (:16-20) | Yes |\n| PaymentIntent↔user ownership check | ingress ownership guard (:27-31) | Yes |\n| Dedup + per-user lock | event guard (:32-39) | Yes |\n| Unknown/deleted user | lookup-result guard (:43-44) | Yes |\n| Missing email address | recipient-policy helper (:45-51) | Yes |\n| Idempotent send, retry record, failure metrics | shared mail client (:85-91) | Yes, but handler adds no rescue (:116) |\n| Correlated tracing, alerts, runbooks | DB/mail clients, ingress wrapper (:58-69) | Yes |\n| Handler routing / namespace | `WebhookDispatcher` (:10, :107) | **No — bypassed. Open decision D2** |\n| User lookup by opaque TEXT id | existing lookup (:24-26) | **No — raw SQL fragment proposed (:111-112)** |\n| Feature flag + rollback + staging replay | deployment (:74-80) | Yes |\n\nRebuilding: the raw SQL lookup rebuilds a lookup that already exists and drops its safety. The dispatcher bypass rebuilds routing. Neither has a stated reason beyond \"clean namespace separation\", which the approved name `Webhooks::StripePaymentWebhookHandler` (:100-103) already delivers regardless of routing.\n\n### 0C. Dream State Mapping\n```\n CURRENT STATE THIS PLAN 12-MONTH IDEAL\n Library-adapter handler owns ---> App-owned handler class, ---> All webhook handlers app-owned,\n payment orchestration; shared routed (D2 pending), thin registered through one dispatcher,\n guards/clients around it orchestration over existing each with unit tests for the four\n clients; email failure named data paths; email fan-out async\n and observable; tests TBD behind the same idempotency key\n```\nThe plan moves toward the ideal only if the handler stays thin and routed through the shared dispatcher; a bypass plus raw SQL moves away from it (second routing path, second lookup style).\n\n## Decision ledger\n\n| ID and owner | Contract and evidence | Current | Proposed | Status | Exact approval and scope |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| D1 (preamble onboarding) | gstack routing rules in CLAUDE.md | none | append routing section + chore commit | approved | User chose \"Add routing rules\" in D1. Plan mode blocks the CLAUDE.md write now; execute after plan mode exits. |\n| D2 (Step 0D / Section 1) | PLAN.md:10-11, :100-108: dispatcher available; bypass is an open architectural choice; class name settled | Prior library-adapter handler, routed via existing ingress | A) `Webhooks::StripePaymentWebhookHandler` registered with `WebhookDispatcher`; B) separate class bypassing dispatcher (as written); C) no new class, orchestration inside dispatcher | approved | User chose A in D2. Scope: new class registered for `payment_intent.succeeded` through the existing dispatcher; no direct ingress wiring; dispatcher routing tests cover the registration. Architecture section of PLAN.md (:105-108) is amended accordingly. |\n\n### currentDecision (D2)\nQuestion: How should the new handler be wired into webhook ingress?\n\nCommitment comparison:\n```\nCommitment | Source/approval or pending | Current | A | B | C\nHandler class name | approved (:100-103) | n/a | Webhooks::StripePayment… | Webhooks::StripePayment… | none (dispatcher method)\nRouting path | pending (:10-11, :107) | ingress→adapter | dispatcher→handler | ingress→handler directly | dispatcher inline\nRetained guards unchanged | approved (:38-39) | yes | yes | yes (must be re-verified) | yes\nFeature flag / rollback path | approved (:74-75) | flag selects prior | flag selects A vs prior | flag selects B vs prior | flag selects C vs prior\nHandler-identity trace attribution | approved (:98-99) | yes | yes | yes | weaker (no class boundary)\n```\n\nA) Register with `WebhookDispatcher` (recommended). Summary: new `Webhooks::StripePaymentWebhookHandler` class, registered for `payment_intent.succeeded` through the existing dispatcher; no second routing path. Effort: S. Risk: low. Pros: reuses proven routing and its logging; the flag toggles a registration, not a route; new engineers find every handler in one place. Cons: namespace separation is by module name only, not by entry point; dispatcher registration API must accommodate the new class. Reuse: dispatcher, all guards. Verification: existing dispatcher routing tests plus handler unit tests (pending D5).\nB) Separate class bypassing the dispatcher (as written). Summary: handler wired directly from ingress. Effort: M. Risk: medium. Pros: hard boundary from the library namespace; no dispatcher changes. Cons: two routing paths to keep in sync; every retained guard (:38-39) must be re-proven on the new path; \"clean namespace\" is already achieved by the approved class name. Reuse: guards only. Verification: new routing tests required.\nC) No new class; add orchestration inside the dispatcher. Summary: skip the handler class entirely. Effort: S. Risk: medium. Pros: smallest diff. Cons: contradicts the settled naming decision (:100-103); grows the dispatcher into business logic; weaker rollout attribution. Reuse: dispatcher. Verification: dispatcher tests.\n\nNote: options differ in kind, not coverage — no completeness score.\n\n## Step 0E. Mode\nHOLD SCOPE, explicit user instruction (\"review this plan thoroughly in HOLD SCOPE mode\"). No mode question asked. Prerequisite `/office-hours` skipped by explicit user instruction.\n\n## Step 0G. HOLD SCOPE checks\n1. Complexity: ~3-5 files (handler class, dispatcher registration, flag config, tests pending D5), 1 new class. Below the 8-file / 2-class threshold. No challenge.\n2. Minimum change: one thin handler class over existing clients + one dispatcher registration. Nothing in the accepted scope is deferrable without blocking the goal; no defer/keep questions raised.\n3. Invariants kept: identical paid-status update, one receipt per PaymentIntent, all retained guards unchanged. Repairs needed to meet them (raw SQL, unnamed email exceptions, missing tests, unbounded order loop) are reviewed in Sections 2-7 with their own decisions.\n\n## Step 0I. Temporal Interrogation (human hours; CC + gstack ≈ 30-60 min total)\n```\n HOUR 1 (foundations): Dispatcher registration API for a new handler class; the feature-flag\n key that selects prior vs new handler; the existing lookup finder that\n accepts opaque TEXT ids; the mail client's exception classes (MailTimeout\n + provider error class).\n HOUR 2-3 (core logic): Does the dedup guard record completion when the handler raises AFTER the\n DB commit? PLAN.md:70-73 covers DB failures only. This decides whether an\n email exception causes a re-invocation on Stripe retry or a swallowed\n duplicate. Must be verified in the guard's source before choosing the email\n leg behavior (D3).\n HOUR 4-5 (integration): Order loop runs inside the 2s DB/ingress budget and the per-user lock; a\n user with hundreds of orders can exhaust the budget -> 500 -> Stripe retries\n the same expensive path (D6). Staging replay checklist (:76-78) must include\n a hostile user_id string and a mail-timeout injection.\n HOUR 6+ (polish/tests): Unit tests for the four data paths per codepath (D5); a routing test that\n the flag selects the new registration; a regression test that a user_id\n containing quotes/semicolons is treated as a literal.\n```\nFeasibility blockers resolved through 0D: D2 (routing). Remaining choices, owned by their sections: D3 email leg (Section 2), D4 lookup query (Section 3), D5 tests (Section 6), D6 order fetch (Section 7).\n\n## NOT in scope\n_(populated as decisions land)_\n\n## Review sections\n\n### Section 1: Architecture Review\n**Current scope:** HOLD SCOPE; approved D2-A (handler registered with dispatcher). Pending D3-D6.\n\nDependency graph (after D2-A):\n```\n Stripe ──POST──▶ ingress middleware ──▶ payload adapter ──▶ ownership guard ──▶ event guard\n (signature verify) (userId extract, (PI↔user binding) (dedup by event.id,\n (event-type filter) nil/empty -> 200) (mismatch -> 200) per-user lock)\n │\n ▼\n WebhookDispatcher\n ┌─────────┴──────────┐\n flag=prior │ │ flag=new\n ▼ ▼\n prior library-adapter Webhooks::StripePaymentWebhookHandler <-- NEW\n handler │\n ┌─────────────┼──────────────┐\n ▼ ▼ ▼\n DB client orders lookup mail client\n (user lookup, (loop, D6) (1s deadline,\n update paid) idempotency key,\n retry record)\n```\nBefore/after coupling: before, only the prior handler depended on DB + mail clients. After, the new handler depends on dispatcher registration, DB client, orders lookup and mail client. Justified: it is the same set the prior handler used; D2-A adds no new coupling to ingress. The rejected bypass (B) would have coupled ingress directly to the handler.\n\nData flow, four paths (user_id → lookup → update → email):\n```\n HAPPY: userId \"u_42\" ──▶ lookup finds user ──▶ update paid + PI id (commit) ──▶ orders loaded ──▶ one receipt sent ──▶ 200\n NIL: metadata.user_id missing/nil ──▶ adapter acks 200 + warning (PLAN.md:19-20) ──▶ handler NOT invoked\n EMPTY: metadata.user_id \"\" ──▶ same adapter path, 200 + warning ──▶ handler NOT invoked\n orders = [] ──▶ one receipt with empty summary (PLAN.md:81-84) ──▶ 200\n email nil/\"\" ──▶ recipient policy: skipped_missing_address, skip record + warning + counter, processing continues (PLAN.md:45-48)\n ERROR: DB lookup/update raises ──▶ propagates to ingress ──▶ 500 ──▶ Stripe retries; completion not recorded (PLAN.md:70-73) OK\n mail client raises MailTimeout/provider error AFTER commit ──▶ plan: no rescue (:116) ──▶ 500 to Stripe for a COMMITTED payment ──▶ Section 2, D3\n hostile userId string ──▶ raw SQL fragment (:111-112) ──▶ injection ──▶ Section 3, D4\n```\n\nState machine (user payment state; the only stateful object the handler mutates):\n```\n [unpaid] ──payment_intent.succeeded (event E1)──▶ [paid, pi=PI1]\n [paid, pi=PI1] ──same PI1 again (retry/dup)──▶ [paid, pi=PI1] (idempotent assignment, PLAN.md:40-42)\n [paid, pi=PI1] ──different PI2 for same user──▶ [paid, pi=PI2] (allowed by existing update; ownership guard binds PI to user, not user to one PI)\n Impossible: two concurrent updates interleaving -> prevented by per-user lock (PLAN.md:32-37)\n Impossible: update on deleted user -> prevented by lock ordering with account deletion (PLAN.md:54-57)\n```\n\nScaling: 10x load: per-user lock serializes per user, so throughput scales with distinct users; the order loop (D6) is the first thing to blow the 2s budget for heavy users. 100x: DB connection pool held during the inline 1s mail call becomes the bottleneck; that is a retained design choice (inline email) and is out of HOLD scope to change, but the rescue behavior (D3) determines whether a mail outage turns into a 500 storm and Stripe retry amplification.\n\nSingle points of failure: DB (retained), mail provider (retained; failure must not fail the payment: D3), dispatcher registration (new; a mis-registration means the flag selects nothing: covered by routing test).\n\nSecurity architecture: only Stripe (signature-verified) can reach the handler; the only external input reaching business code is `metadata.user_id`, already ownership-checked against the PI binding. The handler can change one user's payment_status and send one email. The raw SQL fragment is the single new attack surface (Section 3).\n\nProduction failure scenario per integration point: DB timeout mid-update → 500, retry, safe. Mail provider 5xx/timeout → MailTimeout after 1s → today's plan returns 500 for a committed payment; Stripe retries for up to 72h; whether the handler re-runs depends on dedup-marker semantics after a post-commit raise (unverified, see 0I). Dispatcher registration missing under flag=new → events acknowledged with no handler? Must be a loud failure: routing test + the existing \"failed webhook processing\" alert.\n\nRollback: existing feature flag flips back to the prior handler, documented and tested (PLAN.md:74-75). No migrations. Minutes. **OK**.\n\nFindings: **WARNING** dispatcher bypass (resolved by D2-A). **CRITICAL GAP** email leg semantics (owned by Section 2). **CRITICAL GAP** raw SQL lookup (owned by Section 3). **WARNING** order loop vs 2s budget (owned by Section 7).\nDecision gate: D2 settled (answer A); applied above. No further Section 1 decision.\n\n### Section 2: Error & Rescue Map\n```\n METHOD/CODEPATH | WHAT CAN GO WRONG | EXCEPTION CLASS\n -------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|---------------------------\n WebhookDispatcher registration (flag=new) | handler not registered / wrong event key | (silent: event acked, nothing runs) <- must be a test failure\n Handler#call -> user lookup | DB timeout / pool exhausted | DB timeout / pool error (existing client classes)\n | user not found / deleted | nil result -> existing lookup-result guard (:43-44)\n | hostile user_id in raw SQL fragment | SQL syntax error OR silent injection (Section 3, D4)\n Handler#call -> update paid + PI id | DB failure mid-transaction | DB error, rolled back (:70-73)\n Handler#call -> orders loop | N queries exceed 2s DB budget | deadline/timeout error -> 500 (Section 7, D6)\n Handler#call -> recipient policy | nil/empty email | none; skipped_missing_address record (:45-48)\n Handler#call -> mail client send | provider timeout (1s deadline) | MailTimeout (:92-93)\n | provider 5xx / 4xx / auth | provider error class (rethrown unchanged, :52-53, :62-63)\n -------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|---------------------------\n\n EXCEPTION CLASS | RESCUED IN HANDLER? | RESCUE ACTION | USER / STRIPE SEES\n -------------------------------|-----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------\n DB timeout / pool / error | N (correct: propagate) | ingress wrapper logs, 500, Stripe retries | retry; payment lands on retry OK\n nil lookup result | Y (existing guard) | 200, log, stop | nothing (correct) OK\n SQL error from hostile string | N | 500 + Stripe retries a poisoned event forever | retry storm on one event GAP -> D4\n order-loop deadline | N | 500 + retry of the same expensive path | heavy user never gets paid state GAP -> D6\n MailTimeout / provider error | N <- as written (:116) | none; 500 for a COMMITTED payment | Stripe retries; outcome depends on dedup marker after post-commit raise (unverified) GAP -> D3\n skipped_missing_address | n/a (no exception) | skip record + warning + counter | receipt via runbook retry OK\n```\nAnalysis of the email gap: the failure is not silent (mail failure-rate alert, retry record, correlated traces all fire, PLAN.md:60-69, :85-91). The defect is semantic: the handler raises after the payment is committed, so the retained ingress wrapper reports \"webhook processing failed\" and returns 500 although the payment succeeded. Consequences: (1) the failed-webhook alert fires for a notification problem, muddying the incident runbook's first signal; (2) Stripe retries for up to 72h; whether those retries re-run the handler depends on whether the dedup guard records completion when the handler raises after commit, which PLAN.md:70-73 does not specify (it only covers rolled-back DB attempts); (3) if the handler does re-run, the update is idempotent and the provider idempotency key suppresses duplicate sends, so re-runs are safe but wasteful during a mail outage (every retry holds the per-user lock and a DB connection for the 1s mail deadline).\n\n### currentDecision (D3, owner Section 2)\nQuestion: What should the handler do when the mail client raises after the user update has committed?\n\n```\nCommitment | Source/approval or pending | Current (prior handler: unknown) | A | B | C\nPayment update committed before email | approved (:40-42, :70-73) | yes | yes | yes | yes\nNamed exceptions rescued | pending | ? | MailTimeout + provider class only | none | StandardError (catch-all)\nHTTP result on mail failure | pending | ? | 200 (payment committed) | 500 (as written) | 200\nStructured log with event/user/PI + class | pending | client traces only | yes, handler-level | wrapper's generic log | generic\nRetry route for the receipt | approved (:88-91) | retry record + runbook | same | same + Stripe retries | same\nRegression test for this path | pending (D5 governs suite) | none | included with A | none | none\n```\n\nA) Rescue named mail exceptions after commit, log, return success (recommended). Summary: wrap only the send call; rescue `MailTimeout` and the shared client's provider error class; emit one structured warning (event id, user id, PaymentIntent id, exception class, \"payment committed, receipt queued for retry\"); increment a `payment_receipt_send_failed` counter; let the handler complete so the dedup guard records completion and Stripe gets 200. DB exceptions stay unrescued. Effort: S. Risk: low. Pros: response code matches reality; failed-webhook alert is reserved for real payment failures; no retry amplification during mail outages; the receipt still flows through the existing retry record + runbook. Cons: adds one rescue block to the handler; relies on the mail client's guarantee that the retry record is written before rethrow (:88-89), which must be asserted in a test. Reuse: mail client retry record, dashboard, runbook. Verification: unit test \"mail timeout → user paid, 200, warning logged, counter incremented\"; unit test \"DB error → not rescued, raises\". Completeness 10/10.\nB) Keep rethrow as written. Summary: no rescue; email exception becomes a 500. Effort: S (zero work). Risk: medium. Pros: no new code; Stripe retry may deliver the receipt if the guard re-invokes the handler. Cons: 500 for a committed payment; failed-webhook alert fires on notification problems; behavior hinges on unverified dedup-marker semantics after a post-commit raise; up to 72h of retries during a mail outage. Verification: must read the event guard's completion logic to know which of two behaviors ships. Completeness 5/10.\nC) Catch-all rescue around the email leg. Summary: `rescue StandardError`, log, continue. Effort: S. Risk: medium. Pros: never 500s on email; smallest mental model. Cons: swallows programming errors and unexpected classes silently (violates \"every error has a name\"); hides mail client contract changes. Completeness 3/10.\n\nEngineering preference mapped: \"Every error has a name\" and \"Zero silent failures\" → A names the two classes and keeps DB errors loud.\n"
