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.

# Frontend test payment mode enablable in production via NEXT_PUBLIC env var
**Severity:** high
**Domain:** Payment
**Labels:** security, frontend, test-bypass
## Description
`isTestPaymentEnabled()` in `src/web3/services/test-payment-service.ts` is gated only on `NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_TEST_PAYMENT` env flag. Setting this flag in a production deployment (intentionally or by misconfiguration) activates test-payment mode, which bypasses real payment flows.
## Options
1. Gate `isTestPaymentEnabled()` on `(process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') AND` the env flag — code-level hard stop.
2. Strip the test-payment code path entirely from production via a build-time define/dead-code elimination.
3. Both: NODE_ENV guard plus CI assertion that the flag is unset in prod env.
## Recommendation
Require `NODE_ENV !== 'production'` in addition to the flag, and add a CI check that `NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_TEST_PAYMENT` is absent in production secrets.
