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

# 🔴 POST /api/disputes/:id/resolve has no role guard — any user can resolve disputes and ban sellers
**Severity:** critical
**Domain:** dispute
**Labels:** security, backend, bug
## Description
The dashboard dispute router's `POST /api/disputes/:id/resolve` handler applies only `authenticateToken`. No `authorizeRoles('admin')` guard exists. Any authenticated user can post any resolution action including `action: 'ban_seller'`, `action: 'refund'`, or `action: 'no_action'`, bypassing all admin authority.
Note: the *releaseHold* router's `POST /api/disputes/:purchaseRequestId/resolve` correctly uses `authorizeRoles('admin')`, but the dashboard router does not.
## Current Behavior
A buyer or seller can call:
```
POST /api/disputes/{disputeId}/resolve
{ "action": "ban_seller", "notes": "malicious" }
```
The resolution is persisted with a 200 response.
## Expected Behavior
`POST /api/disputes/:id/resolve` must be protected by `authorizeRoles('admin')`. Non-admin tokens should receive `403`.
## Affected Files
- `backend/src/routes/disputeRoutes.ts` (dashboard router, mounted at `/api/disputes` first)
- `backend/src/controllers/disputeController.ts``resolveDispute` method
