Siavash Sameni 7a616744f4 docs: complete code-reality alignment for remaining docs + reconcile issue set
Remaining docs updated to match code (the docs that the first pass had not covered):
- Flows: Chat, Referral, Rating, Registration, Google OAuth, Negotiation, Payout,
  Trezor Safekeeping — corrected endpoints, socket events, status enums, auth gaps
- API Reference: User API, Trezor API — admin route prefix/verb/status corrections,
  added undocumented endpoints (ton-proof challenge, profile email verify,
  GET /trezor/account, POST /trezor/verify-operation)
- Data Models: Chat, Notification, Payment, PointTransaction, User — corrected
  enums (PaymentProvider, escrowState, PointTransaction.type, User.status),
  90-day notification TTL, soft-delete semantics, wallet fields

Trezor "zero frontend" finding (audit C31/C32) corrected as STALE:
- Verified current code HAS a full frontend Trezor implementation (admin/trezor
  page, TrezorSettingsView, trezorConnector via @trezor/connect-web,
  TrezorSignDialog, actions/trezor.ts building the {message,signature} object)
- Fixed Trezor Safekeeping Flow doc (removed false "no frontend" warnings)
- Reclassified ISSUE-012 as invalid/superseded with explanation

Issue set reconciled to a single canonical numbering (ISSUE-001..054):
- Adopted the comprehensive 51-issue set (long-slug, fully indexed)
- Removed 35 superseded short-slug duplicates from the first pass
- Removed a duplicate ISSUE-046 file
- Added 3 issues the 51-set lacked: ISSUE-052 (completed-not-counted-in-stats),
  ISSUE-053 (axios 401-only interceptor), ISSUE-054 (rate limiter counts all attempts)
- Regenerated Issues Index: 53 open (14 critical, 39 major) + 1 invalid

🔴 Simulated transaction SIM_ bypass has no environment guard — can fire in production on wallet connection failure

Severity: critical Domain: Payment Labels: security, bug, critical, payment, frontend, bypass

Description

src/web3/context/web3-provider.tsx lines 225 and 232 generate SIM_ prefixed transaction hashes when wallet connection fails. The backend skips on-chain verification for any paymentHash starting with 'SIM_' — controlled only by hash prefix, not an environment flag. The frontend generates SIM_ hashes in an error fallback path that can trigger in production.

Current Behavior

In production, if a wallet connection times out or throws, the fallback generates a SIM_ hash that passes backend verification and creates a completed payment record without any real on-chain transaction.

Expected Behavior

SIM_ hash generation should be guarded by process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' check. Backend SIM_ bypass should also be gated by NODE_ENV.

Reproduction Steps

Simulate a wallet connection failure in staging — observe that a SIM_ hash is generated and check if a completed payment record is created in the database.
