# 🔴 createProviderPaymentIntent always routes to request-network/intents regardless of provider argument

**Severity:** critical
**Domain:** Payment
**Labels:** bug, frontend, critical, payment, routing

## Description

src/actions/payment.ts getProviderIntentEndpoint() ignores the provider parameter and always returns endpoints.payments.requestNetwork.intents ('/payment/request-network/intents'). Any checkout using provider='shkeeper' silently POSTs to the wrong backend service.

## Current Behavior

SHKeeper checkout silently POSTs to /payment/request-network/intents instead of /payment/shkeeper/intents, causing payment intent creation to fail or create a wrong-provider payment record.

## Expected Behavior

getProviderIntentEndpoint() should return the correct provider-specific endpoint based on the provider argument (e.g., endpoints.payments.shkeeper.intents for 'shkeeper').

## Reproduction Steps

Initiate a SHKeeper checkout and intercept network — observe the POST goes to /payment/request-network/intents not /payment/shkeeper/intents.
