Full-codebase-audit 2026-05-30 outputs:
- Audit report: 09 - Audits/Full Codebase Audit - 2026-05-30.md
- 81 issue files ISSUE-055..135 (decisions + 1 skipped no-brainer).
- Scanner docs from scratch (was zero): architecture, data model, API ref, payment
  flow, operations runbook + repo README.
- Doc-sync updates across API reference, data models, flows, design system.
- Secret Rotation Runbook (08 - Operations) for the exposed credentials.
- Reusable workflow guide (07 - Development) + .claude/workflows/full-codebase-audit.js.

Issues remain status:open intentionally — the code fixes are uncommitted-then-committed
working-tree changes per repo and aren't "resolved" until merged/deployed.

# 🟠 POST /api/marketplace/purchase-requests/:id/final-approval creates dummy payment for testing if no real payment exists — testing backdoor in production code
**Severity:** major
**Domain:** Purchase Request
**Labels:** security, bug, backend, major, escrow, bypass
## Description
The final-approval endpoint in routes.ts (lines 1561-1592) contains logic that creates a dummy Payment document when no real payment is found and the request is in 'delivered' or 'delivery' status. This testing backdoor is undocumented and bypasses the payment integrity check in production.
## Current Behavior
Any request in delivered/delivery status can be final-approved without a real payment by triggering this code path, effectively releasing escrow for unpaid orders.
## Expected Behavior
The dummy payment creation should be guarded by NODE_ENV !== 'production' or removed entirely from production code.
