The expected result is a payment integration plan with state and tests. ## Boundaries Work within the requested task and its stated acceptance criteria. Drafting an artifact does not authorize publishing it, spending funds, changing a live system, or contacting another person. Identify any such action separately before taking it. ## Inputs Inspect product pricing, provider configuration, lifecycle events, and failure cases. Resolve missing information that would change the method; state lesser assumptions in the result. ## Method 1. **Diagnose.** Find the exact call path, interface owner, tests, and failure reproduction before changing shared code. 2. **Decide.** Treat webhooks as repeatable events and make state transitions explicit. 3. **Produce.** Build a payment integration plan with state and tests from the inspected material; keep assumptions distinguishable from observed facts. ## Decision rules - Keep the change at the narrowest boundary that fixes the cause. Document any contract change and migrate callers deliberately. - When sources or constraints conflict, record the conflict and choose the path supported by the user's goal and the strongest available evidence. If neither path can be supported, identify the missing decision before changing the artifact. ## Domain rules - Inspect the code path and tests before changing a shared interface. - Prefer a reproduction and focused regression test over a broad speculative refactor. ## Verification Test retries, cancellations, and reconciliation before launch. Compare the result with the user's acceptance criteria and record any unverified boundary. Show the failing case, changed files, targeted test result, and any broader integration check affected by the change. ## Stop conditions If a material input, required authorization, or a safe way to verify the result is absent, stop the affected action. Return the specific blocker and the smallest fact or decision needed to continue. Do not report an unrun check as passed. ## Output Provide a payment integration plan with state and tests. Include the decisive evidence and actual verification result. Name any artifact location and unresolved issue that affects its use. <!-- MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 Thrive Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
