Summary

  • Add an in-memory rolling-window spend ledger under demos/payments so the policy guard bounds cumulative spend, not only a per-transaction cap.
  • Introduce authorizePayment on top of unchanged evaluatePaymentPolicy, with check-and-reserve as one synchronous step.
  • Key reservations by payment request id + payment option id so the Stripe URL + callback path authorizes once; commit on receipt, release on failure.

Fixes #138.

Notes

Everything stays in demos/payments (no package/protocol change). Budget breaches return denied, matching the existing per-transaction cap. Still demo-grade: in-memory, single-instance, denies rather than escalating to human approval.

Test plan

  • pnpm --filter ./demos/payments exec vitest run
  • Confirm split-attack test denies the 4th payment at the window limit
  • Confirm idempotent re-authorization does not double-count
  • Confirm commit/release and window expiry behaviour

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added rolling-window cumulative spend limits for payments, alongside existing per-transaction caps.
    • Payment authorization now tracks payer-specific spending by currency and prevents budget-exceeding transactions.
    • Added retry-safe handling for reservations, including commit and release behavior for successful or failed receipts.
    • Payment receipts and requests are signed using the payer identity.
  • Documentation
    • Updated payment policy documentation with budget rules, approval requirements, and demo ledger limitations.

Close the split-attack gap documented by agentcommercekit#97 with an in-memory rolling
window ledger and authorizePayment layer, keyed so Stripe's two-phase
flow reserves once. Fixes agentcommercekit#138.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The payments demo adds an in-memory rolling-window spend ledger, optional budget policy settings, and payer-scoped authorization. Payment routes reserve spend before execution or signing, then commit successful receipts or release failed attempts.

Changes

Payment spend budget

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rolling-window spend ledger
demos/payments/src/spend-ledger.ts, demos/payments/src/spend-ledger.test.ts
Adds collision-safe spend references, atomic reservations, rolling-window expiry, subject and currency isolation, idempotent retries, and commit or release handling.
Budget-aware policy authorization
demos/payments/src/payment-policy.ts, demos/payments/src/payment-policy.test.ts
Adds optional per-currency rolling budgets. authorizePayment applies existing transaction checks before reserving approved amounts and denying exhausted budgets.
Payer-scoped service integration
demos/payments/src/payment-service.ts, demos/payments/README.md
Payment routes authorize using the payer identity and stable references. Receipt signing uses the payer identity, with commit on success and release on failure. Documentation describes the budget flow and demo limitations.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 64b4c

The rolling spend budget is not ready to merge because a delayed Stripe callback can leave a payer charged without a receipt, while failed payment-URL creation can incorrectly block subsequent spending.

Release the reservation if payment-URL creation fails.

This handler reserves budget, then builds the payment URL. No code path releases the reservation when that later step throws. The reserved amount then blocks budget for the full window even though no payment was attempted.

The callback path already releases on failure. Make the / path symmetric.

The callback can deny a payment that has already been charged.

The re-authorization excludes its own reference from the window total, so the normal callback re-approves. It does not re-approve in one case. If the first reservation has aged out of the window, reserve prunes it, and other reservations made since then can fill the window. reserve then returns exceeded, and enforcePaymentPolicy throws a 403.

At this point Stripe has already charged the payer. The payer is charged and receives no receipt.

Trigger: the checkout completes more than budget.windowMs after the payment URL was returned. demoPaymentPolicy sets that window to one hour, so a slow checkout reaches it.

The callback authorizes a payment that already settled, so a budget breach there is an accounting fact rather than a decision. Treat the callback re-authorization as re-reserve-and-record: keep the per-transaction checks, but record an over-budget callback and continue to receipt issuance instead of denying.
