Finance flagged that monthly reconciliation between our internal ledger and the PSP's settlement reports has been drifting since refunds went live. This PR has the refund handler write a reversing entry to the ledger after a successful PSP call so books match. Reviewing whether this actually closes the drift.

The posts table is the biggest thing in our single Postgres instance and it's close to maxing out disk. This PR adds hash-based sharding across three nodes so we can grow storage and write throughput. Reviewing before we point any real traffic at it.

Downstream teams (shipping, email, analytics) keep asking us to poll the orders table for new rows. This PR publishes an order.created event right after we save the order, so they can react instead of polling. Reviewing before we point any consumers at it.

The category listing endpoint hits Postgres on every request and it's showing up at the top of our slow-query report. This PR adds a Redis cache in front of it. Reviewing before we turn it on for the top category pages, which get the most traffic.

Last week support flagged three customers double-charged when the mobile app retried after a flaky network. We're adding an Idempotency-Key header + middleware so retries return the original response instead of re-charging. Reviewing for production-readiness before we route real traffic through it.

Mobile team needs to let users edit name / email / avatar without re-sending the entire profile object every time. This PR adds PATCH /users/{id} for partial updates. Looking for a second pair of eyes before it ships.

Customer service has been processing partial refunds manually through the PSP dashboard — slow, error-prone, no audit trail. This PR exposes POST /charges/{id}/refunds so the support tool can hit it directly. Reviewing for correctness and the audit story.

Product wants a per-user daily activity view in the customer dashboard. This PR adds GET /metrics/users/{id}/daily that aggregates 24-hour activity from a few database queries. Reviewing — customer-data endpoints have a different bar than internal analytics ones.

Adding `/healthz` so the LB and uptime checks have a stable target. Returns build SHA + version + uptime — readiness probe goes on `/readyz` in a separate PR. Tagging you for the API design + header choices. Served only on the internal listener, not the public ingress.

We're cutting over from session cookies to JWT so mobile clients can authenticate without the cookie-jar dance. This PR adds the middleware that validates the bearer token, extracts the user, and attaches them to the request context. Reviewing carefully — auth bugs ship to every endpoint at once.

Black Friday traffic broke our polling-based order processor — we fell behind by 40 minutes and customers got delayed confirmation emails. This PR replaces the poller with a Kafka consumer so we scale horizontally and get backpressure for free. Reviewing before we cut traffic over.

Provider webhooks were timing out under load because we processed them inline. A teammate asked an AI assistant to move delivery onto a worker pool with signature verification and retries, and it produced this in one pass. It compiles, the existing handler tests pass, and it reads well. This is the AI-enabled coding round: the code is plausible, not correct. Review it the way you would review a colleague's PR, except assume every line was generated by something with no production scars.

Order processor needs basic instrumentation — adding logs around each stage and a Prometheus counter for throughput. Used the team's logging conventions doc. Open to feedback.

Profile page wants a "recent orders" section showing the user's last 10 orders with line items and product info. Hooked it up to the existing repos.

Auth team's new identity-service client is finally stable — moving login lookup over to it. Auth team owns user lifecycle now, so this should let us delete a chunk of our own bookkeeping. Last review I want before we route real traffic through this.

Customers want a v2 of the orders listing API — v1's response shape was painful to evolve and we're locking in v2 before adding new features. Mirrors v1's behavior with cleaner field names. Tagging you for the once-over before partner docs go out.

Customers want webhooks for our v2 API — they POST a URL and we fire HTTP callbacks on order events. This is the subscription endpoint plus the test-ping that fires immediately after creation so the customer can verify their endpoint received it. Auth team said the request middleware already injects the authenticated account into context.

Pricing service got hammered during last month's flash sale — adding a 60-second TTL cache in front so we don't blow it up again. Touches three files; pricing client now sits behind the cache wrapper. Need a once-over before we ship for the campaign next Friday.
