Implement three-layer concurrency protection to prevent overselling of carbon credits and ensure atomic order confirmations. Closes CarbonScribe#516. **Problem** Prior implementation had multiple race condition vulnerabilities: - Check-then-act window between availability validation and decrement - No floor guard preventing negative availableAmount - Stale reservation data causing incorrect calculations - Advisory-only checks that could be bypassed by payment failures - No database-level constraint preventing data corruption **Solution: Three-Layer Protection** 1. Serializable Transaction Isolation - All availability checks and decrements use Serializable isolation - Prevents all concurrency anomalies (dirty reads, phantom reads, etc.) - Both checkout and expiry cleanup use same isolation level 2. Pessimistic Row Locking (SELECT...FOR UPDATE) - Credit row locked before any availability reads - Lock held until transaction commits - Both checkout and expiry cleanup use same locking path - Serializes concurrent operations on same credit 3. Floor Guard + Database Constraint - Decrements protected by WHERE availableAmount >= amount - Database CHECK constraint prevents negative values - Zero-row updates detected and rejected - Application bug cannot corrupt data **Changes** Core implementation: - CheckoutService.confirmPurchase(): Merge validation and decrement into single Serializable transaction; add reservation expiry check before decrement - ReservationService.reserveCredits(): Already uses row locks; verify availability under lock before reserving - ReservationService.releaseExpiredReservations(): Use Serializable transactions with row locks to prevent interleaving with confirmPurchase; re-fetch under lock to detect stale data - AvailabilityService.decrementWithin(): Add structured logging for oversell prevention events distinguishing rejection reason (insufficient, expired, etc.) - AvailabilityService: Export runSerializable() for consistent isolation across all availability operations Database: - Migration 20260829120000: Add CHECK constraint enforcing availableAmount >= 0; repair existing negative values Testing: - test/checkout-concurrency.e2e-spec.ts: Comprehensive concurrency test suite covering two concurrent purchases, rapid-fire 5× attempts, database constraint integrity, and reservation-confirmation interaction Documentation: - IMPLEMENTATION_CONCURRENCY_GUARANTEES.md: Detailed explanation of concurrency model, isolation levels, locking strategy, scenarios with timelines, five concurrency guarantees with proofs, implementation details, monitoring - IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md: Quick reference of changes, acceptance criteria verification, deployment checklist **Guarantees** ✓ Two concurrent confirmPurchase calls cannot exceed available amount ✓ availableAmount >= 0 enforced at app + database layer ✓ Oversold orders rejected with ConflictException and clear error ✓ reserveCredits and confirmPurchase use Serializable isolation ✓ Reservation expiry cleanup cannot cause stale availability calculations ✓ All operations logged with structured warnings for monitoring **Testing** Build: ✅ Successful (npm run build) Linting: ✅ All checks pass (ESLint) Type checking: ✅ No errors (TypeScript) Concurrency tests: ✓ 5 test cases covering critical scenarios
