Walkthrough

The PR adds HTTP 402 error recovery to the payment flow. When /verify returns HTTP 402 with an embedded settlementToken, the client now extracts the token and proceeds to settlement. Error details are preserved through _request to enable token extraction downstream, and three edge cases—timeout, 402 retry, and insufficient balance—are covered by new tests.

Changes

HTTP 402 Error Recovery in Payment Verification

Layer / File(s)	Summary
HTTP 402 Error Details Preservation in _request src/client.ts	_request now special-cases HTTP 402 by passing the full parsed response body into mapHttpError, preserving response fields for downstream extraction.
Verify-Stage Error Recovery and Token Extraction in _payOnce src/client.ts	/verify error handler checks for HTTP 402, extracts embedded settlementToken from error details, and constructs verifyData to advance to settlement; non-402 or missing-token errors return failure with error details.
Edge Case Test Coverage: Timeout, 402 Retry, Insufficient Funds tests/client.test.ts	Three test cases: (1) both verify attempts timeout, returns failure with ETIMEDOUT; (2) verify returns 402 with settlementToken, succeeds with two requests to verify and settle; (3) settle returns 402 with INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS, returns failure with errorCode.

Code Review

This pull request updates the PayBotClient to handle pre-authorized payments returned inside HTTP 402 responses during the verification phase, allowing the client to extract the embedded settlementToken and proceed to settlement. It also adds unit tests to cover these scenarios. Feedback on the changes points out that mapping the entire errorData to details for 402 responses can cause nested inconsistency (e.g., details.details). It is recommended to merge specific top-level properties like settlementToken and commission into the details object instead.

Preserving the entire errorData as details for HTTP 402 responses introduces inconsistency. For all other 4xx errors, error.details maps to errorData.details. If a 402 response contains its own details field, it would end up nested as error.details.details, which is confusing and inconsistent for SDK consumers.

Instead of passing the entire errorData as details, we can merge the top-level properties of errorData (like settlementToken, commission, and modifiedRequirements) into the details object, while keeping the original errorData.details structure intact.

        const details = response.status === 402
          ? {
              ...(errorData.details as Record<string, unknown> | undefined),
              settlementToken: errorData.settlementToken,
              commission: errorData.commission,
              modifiedRequirements: errorData.modifiedRequirements,
            }
          : (errorData.details as Record<string, unknown> | undefined);

🔴 Governance review — NEEDS CHANGES (do not merge)

Reviewed under the automated-PR-merge-authority chain. CI is green, but green CI proves the code runs, not that it does the right thing. Two problems block this PR.

---

Problem 1 — Scope violation (tests-only task touched production code)

Issue #9 is a tests-only task ("good first issue", "Expand pay() test coverage"). It asked for three new test cases and nothing else. This PR also modifies src/client.ts — the core payment-authorization path (+33 −13). A test-coverage task must not change the payment logic.

Problem 2 — Invented behavior the server never produces

The src/client.ts change adds a path: "if verify returns 402 with an embedded settlementToken, treat it as pre-authorized and proceed to settle." The new test should succeed when verify 402 includes embedded settlementToken mocks exactly that response and asserts success.

But that server response does not exist. In paybot-core/src/server/routes/verify.ts:

• The success response (HTTP 200) is what carries settlementToken / settlementTokenExpiresAt (lines ~100–112).
• The HITL approval-band case also returns 200 (status: 'pending_approval').
• The 402 path returns { error, code, details } — and no 402-emitting path in paybot-core/src embeds a settlementToken (verified by grep across src/).

So this PR adds handling for a wire condition paybot-core never emits, and the accompanying test validates a fictional server response. Because the same author wrote both the code and the test, the test passing proves nothing (same-model blind spot — the exact failure mode SVG-1 / the PR #70 post-mortem warn about).

Also note: issue #9's item 2 ("402 retry") describes a transient 402 that is retried and then succeeds — not "402 carries a settlement token → jump to settle." The implemented behavior does not match the task's stated intent.

---

What's correct here (keep these)

• ✅ should return failure on ETIMEDOUT (both attempts) — matches issue Expand pay() test coverage: timeout, 402 retry, insufficient balance #9 item 1.
• ✅ should return failure with INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS when settle returns 402 — matches issue Expand pay() test coverage: timeout, 402 retry, insufficient balance #9 item 3.

Requested changes

1. Revert all src/client.ts changes. This task is tests-only.
2. Remove the should succeed when verify 402 includes embedded settlementToken test (it asserts a server response that does not exist).
3. Re-implement the "402 retry" case per the issue's real intent — a transient 402 followed by a retry that succeeds — iff the SDK actually has retry-on-402. If it does not, drop the case and note that with the maintainer rather than inventing a code path to satisfy it.
4. If there is a genuine roadmap need to support x402 facilitators that pre-authorize inside a 402, that is a separate, properly-scoped feature story aligned with paybot-core and documented — not a silent change inside a "good first issue" test PR.

Merge authority stays with @devops after a corrected version passes the full chain.

Filed by the AIOX governance review. This is also a Night Shift system finding: the worker overstepped a tests-only scope and invented payment behavior — the scope-fence should physically block production-file edits when the task is tests-only.
