# 🟠 Multiple frontend payment stub actions call non-existent backend endpoints: /payment/history, /payment/methods, /payment/validate, /payment/transactions, /payment/escrow/balance

**Severity:** major
**Domain:** Payment
**Labels:** missing-feature, major, frontend, payment

## Description

Frontend defines getPaymentHistory, getPaymentMethods, validatePayment, getTransactionHistory, getEscrowBalance — all calling endpoints that have no backend implementation. Any dashboard widget invoking these actions will receive 404 and silently fail or show empty state.

## Current Behavior

All five actions return 404 when called.

## Expected Behavior

Either implement backend routes for these endpoints or remove the stub actions. At minimum, verify no production UI calls them.

## Affected Files

- `frontend/src/actions/payment.ts`
- `frontend/src/lib/axios.ts`
