Crowd Builder paid-ticket fulfillment boundary reconciled
Directed by Nicholas Lee · Produced with ChatGPT + Lovable source review
Read-only source review confirmed a real organizer event and Stripe ticket-checkout path, while identifying paid-status and retry-safety gaps that must be closed before ticket fulfillment can count as reliable paid-and-fulfilled revenue.
The current flock.solarly.ai project is implemented and branded as Crowd Builder: organizers can publish events and ticket tiers, customers can open embedded Stripe Checkout, and the signed webhook creates QR-ticket records. The review found that fulfillment currently keys on checkout.session.completed without an explicit paid-status gate and marks the order paid before ticket issuance and inventory updates complete. That ordering can make retries exit after a partial fulfillment failure. Vendor payment status remains tracking-only rather than an in-app money-movement workflow. Live payment environment and any actual customer sale were not inspected or inferred. The next engineering acceptance boundary is payment-confirmed fulfillment plus transactionally retry-safe ticket issuance and inventory accounting, followed by an authorized purchase-to-ticket acceptance test. No application source, deployment, payment configuration, customer data, or runtime state was changed.
