Siavash Sameni a1f056e6a5 docs: align flow docs with code reality + create 35 implementation issue files
Flow docs updated (11 files):
- Delivery Confirmation: reversed actor roles (buyer generates, seller verifies),
  fixed endpoint paths (/delivery-code/generate, /delivery-code/verify)
- Passkey (WebAuthn): removed stub/simulated-key claims; real @simplewebauthn/server
  attestation is implemented; refresh tokens are persisted
- Dispute: corrected resolve schema (action enum), removed non-existent statuses,
  documented security gaps (no role guards on status/resolve/assign), route shadowing,
  all socket events are TODO stubs
- Seller Offer: corrected all endpoint paths, removed 'active' status, documented
  withdraw dead code, missing seller history page, select-offer notification gap
- Notification: corrected mark-all-read method+path, fixed GET /:id broken lookup,
  added unread-count-update socket event
- Authentication: corrected rate limiter (counts all attempts), axios 403 not handled,
  deleteAccount wrong endpoint bug, changePassword no UI
- Password Reset: corrected 6-digit code (not 8), documented no-complexity gap on
  reset-with-code vs token reset
- Payment Flow DePay: /create→/save, removed phantom sub-routes, SIM_ bypass risk,
  PaymentProvider type gap, getProviderIntentEndpoint routing bug
- Payment Flow SHKeeper: removed phantom polling endpoint, fixed release/refund paths
- Purchase Request: added pending_payment/active statuses, fixed sellers/attachments
  endpoints, corrected socket events, PUT→PATCH bug
- Escrow: documented dispute resolve does not touch escrow, route shadowing, confirm-delivery auth gap

Issues created (35 files in Issues/):
- 9 security issues (critical) including: dispute privilege escalation ×4,
  unauthenticated payment/scanner endpoints ×2, SIM_ production bypass,
  confirm-delivery ownership gap
- 26 additional major/critical bugs covering broken endpoints, missing features,
  data integrity gaps, and frontend-backend mismatches

# 🔴 PATCH /api/disputes/:id/status has no role guard — privilege escalation
**Severity:** critical
**Domain:** dispute
**Labels:** security, backend, bug
## Description
`PATCH /api/disputes/:id/status` is mounted with only `authenticateToken` middleware — no `authorizeRoles('admin')` guard. Any authenticated buyer or seller who knows a dispute `_id` can change that dispute's status to `resolved`, `closed`, or any other value including states that release funds or trigger bans.
## Current Behavior
Any authenticated user (buyer or seller) can call:
```
PATCH /api/disputes/{disputeId}/status
{ "status": "resolved" }
```
and receive a 200 response. The dispute status is updated in MongoDB.
## Expected Behavior
Only users with `role: admin` should be permitted to change a dispute's status. Non-admin tokens should receive `403 Forbidden`.
## Reproduction Steps
1. Log in as a buyer or seller, obtain a JWT.
2. Find or create a dispute `_id`.
3. `PATCH /api/disputes/{id}/status` with `{ "status": "resolved" }` and the buyer/seller Bearer token.
4. Observe 200 and the status change in the DB.
## Affected Files
- `backend/src/routes/disputeRoutes.ts` — router missing `authorizeRoles('admin')` before `updateStatus` handler
- `backend/src/controllers/disputeController.ts``updateStatus` method
