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

# 🟠 GET /api/notifications/:id always 404s for non-latest notifications — broken in-memory lookup
**Severity:** major
**Domain:** notification
**Labels:** backend, bug
## Description
The `getNotificationById` controller does NOT perform a direct MongoDB `findById` lookup. Instead it calls `getUserNotifications(userId, 1, 1)` — fetching only the user's single most-recent notification — and then does an **in-memory `_id` string comparison**.
Any notification that is not the user's absolute latest record returns `404`, regardless of ownership. This makes the endpoint completely unreliable for any consumer that tries to fetch a specific notification by ID.
## Current Behavior
`GET /api/notifications/abc123` returns the notification only if `abc123` happens to be the user's most recently created notification. For all others: 404.
## Expected Behavior
`getNotificationById` should do a direct `Notification.findOne({ _id: id, userId })` query.
## Affected Files
- `backend/src/services/notification/notificationService.ts` (or controller) — `getNotificationById` / `getUserNotifications` call
