# 🔴 PaymentProvider TypeScript type excludes 'shkeeper' and 'decentralized' causing UI fallthrough for main payment providers

**Severity:** critical
**Domain:** Payment
**Labels:** bug, frontend, critical, payment, type-mismatch

## Description

src/types/payment.ts defines PaymentProvider as 'request.network' | 'test' | 'other'. The two primary production payment providers ('shkeeper' and 'decentralized') are absent from this union type. Frontend code that switches on PaymentProvider falls through to unknown/default state for the majority of production payments.

## Current Behavior

Provider-based conditional rendering, labels, and routing logic silently falls through to unknown state for SHKeeper and DePay payments.

## Expected Behavior

PaymentProvider type should include 'shkeeper' and 'decentralized' variants.

## Affected Files

- `frontend/src/types/payment.ts`
