Follow-up to #2079. The three payment record-keeping systems — the booking row, the refund tracker, and the delivery step — each already check their own rules. This adds the checks between them, so a mix of records that no correct run could ever produce gets caught and shown instead of silently trusted.

A short list of impossible mixes. A new module names the two mixes that can never exist: a refund set to send while no job holds its row, and a held row whose payment has no charge record. Each entry says why it is impossible. Everything not on the list is legal on purpose — every mid-crash state a redelivery must finish from stays allowed.

Every crash test now checks the list. The helpers that manufacture crashes read back every stored record they touched and prove the mix is one a real run can produce. Around forty existing crash tests now police the seam for free, and a resumed payment proves its own state before acting on it.

The last three uncovered crash gaps are now tested. New tests kill the process — with a real database fault, not a stub — at the exact moments nothing covered before: while finishing a refund batch, while finishing a kept-and-refunded booking, and after a balance refund was sent but before the answer was saved. Each test then proves a redelivery finishes the job without sending money twice.

The map page checks the real records. /admin/schema now ends with a "Live check": it looks for the impossible mixes in the site's own database and lists any hit in plain words with its record id. A healthy site shows one all-clear line. Declaring a new impossible mix without teaching the check how to find it stops the build.

Small hardenings from review. The reservation writer resets rows through the same shared builder as every other writer; the seam's vocabulary is derived from the machines it describes, so a renamed or added state stops the build until the seam learns it; a refused placeholder store throws a named error instead of hiding behind a type cast; and the two machine-graph test suites now share one walker.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a live schema consistency check to the admin schema view, showing either an all-clear result or flagged payment records with session IDs.
    • Added detection for impossible payment-state combinations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved recovery after interrupted payment and refund processing.
    • Prevented duplicate refunds and duplicate activity when operations are retried.
    • Ensured refused attendee updates return an error instead of hanging.
    • Preserved stored outcomes for completed and refunded sessions during replay.

The row machine, the refund authority, and the delivery phase are each
checked on their own; this seam says which combinations of the three may
exist in one database at one moment. The declaration is an illegal list,
each entry naming the invariant it breaks, and it stays short on
purpose: a combination is listed only when no flow can produce it,
because every crash window's intermediate state must stay legal for a
redelivery to finish from it. The two declared entries catch the
dangerous class — an armed provider send on a row nobody holds, and a
held claim over references with no charge. The phase folds into the row
fact, since any stored row state means the failure slot is set, so only
a free row splits by reserved and finalized.

The resume path navigates whatever combination of machines a crash left
behind, so it now proves that combination is one a flow can produce —
the seam's first production consumer, which also closes the export gate.
The wiring taught the seam a stored truth: a row carries its pending
outcome beside its live work through the whole crash window, so the row
fact comes from the live work alone, and only a row holding nothing but
an outcome is settled. The authority fact comes from the stored state
name; an unknown name throws, since it would mean the refund machine
grew a state this seam has never heard of.

A new test helper loads every stored row one session touches — the
session row and its anchor siblings — and proves each row's machine
combination is one a flow can produce. The two crash-store helpers call
it right after manufacturing their crash, so the exact intermediate
states the resume tests rebuild from now also witness the seam: a crash
state the illegal list calls impossible fails the test that made it.

The flow sweep found the placeholder completion's two inner windows —
after the ledger posts but before the authority's local recording, and
after that recording but before the once-only confirmation — proven
only by whole-tail replay, never by a crash at the exact point. Two
tests now die there with real database faults: a trigger refuses the
retirement update, another refuses the confirmation insert, and the
redelivery finishes only what is missing — the legs never double, the
words land exactly once, and each manufactured crash state is witnessed
against the seam. The batch refund flow gains the twin the refresh flow
already had: authority retirement fails after the ledger landed, and
the released rows still say the books are recorded. The fault triggers
share one installer, which the refund-ledger fault now also uses.

The coverage gate found three gaps the targeted runs missed: the
resume's empty-rows arm (removed — a reference with no charge already
answers as an absent fact through its null name, and no rows at all
means nothing to check), the seam's review and unrecorded spreads
(now exercised beside a riding outcome, each kind), and the witness
util's own refusal and bare-reservation paths (now tested directly —
a bare reservation is the legal free row with no charges, asserted
without decrypting). The crash-window manufacture also folds into one
curried helper, which clears the duplication the previous push let
through.

…sts next

The scan module reads the two declared illegal combinations back out of
the live database over plaintext mirror columns, one bounded batch, no
decryption. Not yet consumed by the atlas page and not yet tested, so
the export gate would fail this commit alone; the wiring lands next.

The schema atlas page now ends with a live check: the two declared
impossible combinations are read back out of the site's own records, and
each match renders as plain words plus the record's id. A healthy site
answers with one all-clear line.

The scan keys its queries by the declaration table's own literal types,
so declaring a third illegal combination refuses to compile until the
scan learns how to look for it. Queries read only the plaintext mirror
columns — nothing is decrypted to answer.

The tests plant impossible rows with raw SQL, since no production writer
can make them: an armed charge on an unheld row is reported, the same
charge under a held claim is not, and a held row with no charge shows on
the page with its id.

AuthorityFact now reuses the authority machine's own stored state names
instead of restating them, so the seam cannot drift from the machine it
describes. The seam tests derive their row-fact list from the production
node list and pin the authority list to the production type, and each
test now checks one contract, so a failure names exactly what broke.

The last uncovered crash window: a balance session whose settle refuses
sends the refund, then dies before the answer is recorded. A fresh
redelivery reads as live work, a stale one reclaims the row and finishes
the tail — the durable authority answers from its completed row, so the
provider is never asked twice. The new fault helper refuses the terminal
failure write at SQLite's own boundary, and the crashed state is
witnessed against the seam before the redeliveries run.

reserveSession hand-wrote the empty failure_data value and left
protected_state out of its stale-reclaim reset entirely, trusting the
pair invariant to hold it blank. Both columns now come from
paymentRowStateValues(EMPTY_ROW_STATE), the same builder every other
writer uses, so a reclaimed row is reset to exactly the state the row
machine calls empty and the write can never drift from it.

The other two leads from the write-site sweep needed no change: the
anchor insert already derives its pair from the shared builder, and the
weak mirror check on processed_payments would cost a table-rebuild
migration to guard a state no current writer can produce — recorded in
TODO.md for whenever the table is next rebuilt for a real reason.

refundNodeSendsMoney now asks the moves reader for targets instead of
poking the raw table, so it reads the machine through the same API as
every other consumer. The placeholder store's attendee id now rides out
of the atomic callback that created it, and a refused store throws a
named error naming the reason and session — the old cast would have let
a refusal surface as a property read on undefined far from the cause.
The two machine graph suites walk their tables through one shared
test helper, so the reachability walks can no longer drift apart; the
refund suite passes its actor restriction as an event filter.

The fourth finding — escaping a file path interpolated into a RegExp in
the machine-spec framework — is moot: the framework no longer builds
any RegExp.

The shared graph walker's suite now has eight tests, one per behavior —
each lookup, each rejection, and each walk with and without the event
filter — so a failure names exactly what broke.

Four were the unpinned halves of the two illegal-combination reasons:
only the words "armed" and "claim" were asserted, so emptying any other
segment passed. The reasons are the diagnosis an operator reads when the
seam trips, so the test now pins both sentences exactly.

The fifth was the resume tail's refunded check: stored outcomes carry
refunded only when true, so flipping the comparison to false only
diverges on an already-advanced outcome sitting beside a completed
charge — and nothing pinned that resume answers null there instead of
rebuilding the answer. Now a test does.
