Project context
A fictional software vendor changes payment providers. Its application must tolerate unknown outcomes, signed callbacks, refunds, and inconsistent settlement reports.
Setup prerequisites
- Create a local payment-provider double and synthetic orders; use test-only signatures and execute no financial transactions.
Preceding work
Complete these dependencies, or supply their agreed outputs before taking this ticket.
Acceptance criteria
- Persist operation identity before dispatch.
- Reuse identity for identical retries.
- Reject conflicting payload reuse.
Implementation constraints
- Synthetic amounts use integer minor units.
Verification to include
- Retry a timed-out accepted request.
- Reuse a key with another amount and verify rejection.
Deliverables
- Idempotent payment command.
Rollout and recovery
Keep uncertain operations pending for reconciliation.
Value of the work
For the engineer: Practice idempotent integrations, state reconciliation, and provider migration.
For the team: Provide a reviewable adapter design that protects order consistency and recovery.
Evidence boundaries
Outcome Evidence: Tests, patches, and runbooks are requested deliverables. They become Outcome Evidence only through a qualified Mission and immutable Evidence IDs.
Ownership Evidence: Independent adaptation must be observed under a declared verification policy and cite immutable Evidence IDs. Completing a planning ticket establishes no Ownership Evidence.
