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.

# Backend: on-demand RN reconciliation in getPaymentById can race — double-processing risk
**Severity:** medium
**Domain:** Payment
**Labels:** bug, backend, concurrency
## Description
`paymentController.ts:407-466` triggers RN reconciliation on every `GET /payment/:id` call. If two browser tabs or requests call this concurrently on a pending payment, both can read `status:'pending'` and both trigger the completion side-effects before either write commits.
## Options
1. Use an atomic `findOneAndUpdate` guarded on `status:'pending'` so only one writer wins.
2. Add a distributed lock (Redis) around reconciliation per payment.
3. Move reconciliation off the read path into a single-writer background job.
## Recommendation
Make the status transition atomic (`findOneAndUpdate` filtering on current status) so only the first concurrent caller advances it; ideally move reconciliation off the GET path.
