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

# 🟠 Axios interceptor only retriggers token refresh for 401, not 403
**Severity:** major
**Domain:** auth
**Labels:** frontend, bug
## Description
`frontend/src/lib/axios.ts` (line ~105) only triggers the token refresh flow for `status === 401`:
```ts
if (status === 401 && !isAuthRoute && !originalRequest?._retry) {
// trigger refresh
}
```
A `403` response (e.g., `EMAIL_NOT_VERIFIED`, a blocked account, or an under-privileged action) is not intercepted — it propagates as an unhandled error. Depending on how calling components handle errors, this may result in a blank screen or silent failure rather than an appropriate user message.
## Current Behavior
Backend returns `403 EMAIL_NOT_VERIFIED` → interceptor does not retry or refresh → error propagates to the component. Some components may not handle this gracefully.
## Expected Behavior
The interceptor (or a separate error handler) should:
- On `403`: **not** attempt a token refresh (a 403 is an authorization failure, not an expired token)
- But should surface the error clearly to the user (e.g., redirect to verify-email page for `EMAIL_NOT_VERIFIED` errors)
## Affected Files
- `frontend/src/lib/axios.ts` — response interceptor
