Orders Design Examination

Examination and Authority

The examination opened the pinned route declarations, database definitions, persistence and service implementations, workflow entry points, registrations, console components and cited tests. All sixty-four design artifacts received an independent OpenAI verification and final-text pass. The Orders responsibility row and prose were reconciled with the contracts and objects; other modules' responsibility text was preserved.

Planning rules, journeys, questions and decisions were used as consistency constraints. The supplied planning files retain draft status and a mixture of confirmed and proposed intent, so examination does not grant approval. Existing findings retain the unresolved authority and integration disagreements.

Coverage

Area	Examined coverage	Limit
Design artifacts	6 objects, 13 state models, 16 workflows, 5 service contracts, 8 screen contracts and 16 decisions	Every artifact rewritten; identifiers and product authority retained.
Operations	78 unique declared business HTTP operation identifiers, 4 shared health routes, 1 registration function and 1 database consumption function; all 84 have contract rows	Registration and consumption are not HTTP route declarations.
Data	All 32 table definitions in the five source modules, plus the active-rights view, map to 6 objects	Objects group supporting records rather than introduce a concept for every table.
State	13 lifecycle/projection models, 86 structured transition rows and 57 invariants	Transition rows and diagrams are descriptive evidence, not new transition guards.
Execution	16 workflows and 94 hops; the one owned minute schedule and synchronous registration function are covered	No queue or Step Functions state machine is owned by these five modules; fulfilment execution and its workers remain delegated.
Screens	All 8 named components, their page or dialog entry routes, actions and permission gates	The amendment component exists while the live option source remains disabled.
Anchors	All 362 structured source and anchor occurrences checked for path and cited symbol or test-title existence	Example tests were read as evidence; their assertions were not rerun against deployed services.
Inference	Every service, workflow and screen declares an empty inference list; no model task call found in the scoped source	No inference artifact is required by the examined implementation.

Evidence Corrections

Checkout removal, abandonment and hold extension no longer claim an undeclared create permission. Participant registration is identified as a function rather than a fifth HTTP API. Entitlement consumption now cites the root database migration, and broad cart-version, placement-uniqueness and change-occupancy assertions also cite their persistence or database enforcement.

After-sale eligibility now distinguishes the accepted-or-closed return path and placed-or-accepted promotion path from ordinary accepted-sale changes. Return authorization no longer claims a forbidden reopening guard that its persistence function does not enforce. Concurrent monetary refresh is described as a last-writer update without a freshness check.

Stored assessment problems no longer imply irrevocable placement refusal; fresh authoritative preparation controls that outcome. Placement compares against a saved preview when one exists and can bind current calculations when none exists. The policy snapshot description now distinguishes newly placed purchases from migrated records that use the fallback policy.

The responsibility record now pins the shared-contract repository and distinguishes HTTP exposure from registration. Metadata approval, intent, provenance and identifiers remain unchanged except for the documented after-sale invariant evidence correction and additional enforcement sources. The module registry records examination status without approving the design.

Findings and Open Disagreements

Four findings were allocated during examination: stale projection overwrites, unguarded receiving authorization transitions, inconsistent after-sale eligibility and the limited proof supplied by example-based invariant tests. They remain open; corrections describe observed code rather than approve its behavior.

Existing findings remain open concerning shared recovery starvation, the skipped return deadline check, deferred amendment execution, post-acceptance amendment recovery, unconfigured financial adapters, incomplete live amendment choices, the audit stand-in, submission-stage purchase contracts and installment ownership. The examination did not alter planning rules to resolve them. Product decisions already recorded by the planning layer remain cited as origins rather than reopened as new approvals.

No source-service or console implementation was changed. This was a static examination with repository conformance and checker tests, so it does not establish deployed recovery, external provider availability or end-to-end operational readiness.

Validation

The required clean dependency installation and corpus check completed successfully with zero errors. All four repository test cases passed. No implementation integration suite was run because the change concerns the specification corpus.

Verdict for Andrew

The examined design is a faithful static account of the pinned module after correcting its overclaims and retaining explicit findings for incomplete behavior. Its weakest area is recovery across financial, receiving and seller boundaries, where configuration, skipped work and missing executors limit the guarantees. Before implementation preparation, decide the unresolved recovery responsibilities, return closure behavior, installment ownership and submission-stage purchase boundary, and confirm the planning authority.
