Reconciled PE Governor implementation divergence
Directed by Nicholas Lee · Produced with ChatGPT + Lovable read-only source inspection
Confirmed the standalone PE Governor project contains materially stronger retry, settlement-validation, signed-proof and aggregate-reservation controls than the older embedded Solarly.ai PE copy, while exact provider-returned request/product payment binding still needs hardening.
Read-only comparison of the standalone PE Governor source and the embedded Solarly.ai PE service found real implementation drift. The standalone service restores persisted canonical requests on bodyless retries and has tests covering 402 -> 202 -> COMPLETED -> 200 without resending the body; validates settled amount/currency/network; and adds durable quotes, signed authorization proofs and an aggregate reservation lifecycle. The embedded Solarly.ai service still needs the current parsed body at fulfillment. The standalone Coinbase read model does not retain provider-returned metadata/reference, so exact settled-checkout binding to the reserved request/product remains an acceptance requirement. No checkout, payment/customer data, order, trade, PE runtime, or deployment was touched.
