Summary

  • Payment endpoints (add-payment, add-tranche, verify-external-payment) have no concurrency control. Two concurrent requests with the same txId can both pass the replay check before either writes, crediting a single on-chain transaction twice.
  • Wrapped all three endpoints in withRedisLock, same pattern already used by announce-winners and update-tranche-status. Returns 409 on concurrent duplicate requests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Prevented concurrent payment requests from being processed simultaneously.
    • Added conflict responses when a payment for the same grant, listing, or submission is already in progress.
    • Preserved existing payment validation, transaction updates, and notifications while improving processing consistency.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The three sponsor payment handlers now run their existing validation, payment, database, and notification flows inside 300-second Redis locks. Concurrent requests receive HTTP 409 responses.

Changes

Sponsor payment locking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Grant tranche payment locking
src/pages/api/sponsor-dashboard/grants/add-tranche.ts
The grant tranche flow uses withRedisLock with an application-specific key. Lock contention returns HTTP 409.
External payment verification locking
src/pages/api/sponsor-dashboard/listings/verify-external-payment.ts
External payment verification uses a listing-specific Redis lock. Lock contention returns HTTP 409.
Submission payment locking
src/pages/api/sponsor-dashboard/submission/add-payment.ts
The submission payment flow uses a submission-specific Redis lock. Lock contention returns HTTP 409.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 30d5e

The payment locking improves duplicate-payment protection, but external verification can outlive its lock and permit overlapping processing, while malformed payment payloads can now fail without the expected 400 response. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Poem

A rabbit guards the payment gate
With Redis locks that coordinate
The checks run once, the records align
Busy requests receive four-oh-nine
Tranches and listings safely flow
Submission payments finish in order

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Restore error handling for malformed request bodies.

paymentLinks comes straight from req.body and is not validated. Line 45 calls .filter on it outside the try block. If the body omits paymentLinks or sends a non-array value, the call throws a TypeError that no handler catches, so the request fails as an unhandled rejection instead of the previous 400 response. The try block used to start before this code.

Validate the input explicitly before the lock.

🛠️ Proposed fix
   logger.debug(`Request body: ${safeStringify(req.body)}`);
   let { paymentLinks } = req.body as VerifyPaymentsFormData;
   const { listingId } = req.body as VerifyPaymentsFormData & {
     listingId: string;
   };
 
-  paymentLinks = paymentLinks.filter((p) => !!p.link);
-
   if (!listingId) {
     return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Listing ID is missing' });
   }
+
+  if (!Array.isArray(paymentLinks)) {
+    return res.status(400).json({ error: 'paymentLinks must be an array' });

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Set a lock TTL that exceeds the maximum handler runtime.

The TTL is 300 seconds and config.maxDuration is also 300 seconds (Lines 32-34). The locked callback iterates over every payment link, and each iteration awaits wait(5000) plus validatePayment, which retries up to three times with 5-second delays. For a moderately sized paymentLinks array the callback can still be running when the lock expires. A second request then acquires the lock and runs findUsedPaymentTxIds before the first request writes its paymentDetails, which reopens the double-credit window this change is meant to close.

Set ttlSeconds above maxDuration, or cap the number of payment links processed per request.
