fix(billing): hardening — webhook retries, canceled guard, fail-closed metering, grant and verify races - #4155
Conversation
stripe.subscriptions.retrieve failing in the checkout.session.completed handler returned silently, so the event was recorded as processed while the subscription row stayed unlinked on the free plan. Throw instead so withIdempotency lets Stripe redeliver the event. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EqkUXh5nmxbVBTvhgM6zAo
…ption A late invoice.payment_failed or invoice.payment_succeeded event could bring a canceled subscription back to past_due/active. Both handlers now return early once the stored subscription status is 'canceled'. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EqkUXh5nmxbVBTvhgM6zAo
… status incrementMeter kept billing against the paid-plan quota snapshot even when the admission gate had already routed the same subscription status to the free plan, letting the paid quota drain for free. The fail-closed status list is now a single shared constant, imported by both the gate and the meter, so they cannot drift apart again. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EqkUXh5nmxbVBTvhgM6zAo
A transient write failure on the extras debit fell straight through the overflow branch with no retry, so a paying org's overage was never charged. Debit is idempotent by refId, so wrapping it in the module's existing retryWithBackoff cannot double-charge on the retried write. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EqkUXh5nmxbVBTvhgM6zAo
The idempotency check before a grant write only excluded a matching refId within the target org's own ledger, so a retry whose target org changed between attempts (e.g. an org merge/reassignment) was credited twice under the same refId. The guard now checks across all orgs before writing. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EqkUXh5nmxbVBTvhgM6zAo
verifyEmail read the user by token, then wrote it in a separate step, so two concurrent requests for the same token could both pass the read check and both provision a workspace. UserService now exposes an atomic consumeEmailVerificationToken (one findOneAndUpdate on the still- unexpired token) that verifyEmail consumes instead. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EqkUXh5nmxbVBTvhgM6zAo
Names the existing dead-letter replay endpoint for the specific symptom of a customer who paid but never received credit. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EqkUXh5nmxbVBTvhgM6zAo
…mail The atomic filter dropped the old controller-level !user.email guard. Restore the equivalent check in the filter itself so a token belonging to an emailless account still falls into the same invalid-token 400. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EqkUXh5nmxbVBTvhgM6zAo
Checkout webhook silent return, fail-closed meter/gate list drift, creditGrant's per-org-only idempotency guard, and the verifyEmail read-then-write race. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EqkUXh5nmxbVBTvhgM6zAo

The #4151 guard read existing.status before the write but updateIfEventNewer only filtered on the event-ordering markers, not status — a customer.subscription.deleted that committed between the read and the write could still have its canceled row flipped back to past_due or active by a late invoice event. updateIfEventNewer gains an optional extraMatch param, ANDed into the same findOneAndUpdate filter as the event-ordering guard. The two invoice handlers pass status: { $ne: 'canceled' }, so the exclusion is re-checked at write time instead of relying solely on the earlier read. The read-side check stays as a fast path. Addresses a CodeRabbit review comment on #4155. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EqkUXh5nmxbVBTvhgM6zAo
The #4151 cross-org exists() check closed the sequential-retry case but was still a check-then-write race for genuine concurrency: two creditGrant calls sharing one idempotencyKey but resolving to DIFFERENT orgs (e.g. an in-process grant listener racing a reconcile sweep for the same event) could both observe "not yet granted" before either wrote, each crediting its own org. creditGrant now wraps its existing 3-step sequence (cross-org exists check, getOrCreate, org-scoped guarded write) in a per-idempotencyKey lock from the existing distributedLock service (a unique-_id claim, already used for cron mutual exclusion). Losing the lock is treated like any other idempotent replay: { applied: false, reason: 'duplicate_grant' }. The org-scoped ledger guard remains the durable dedup once the lock is released.

…que index, not a lease The previous fix (70c97ab) serialized the cross-org check + write behind a TTL lock from lib/services/distributedLock.js. CodeRabbit's follow-up review was right that a lease does not close the race, only narrow it: if the first grant's write ever outran the TTL, a second call could acquire the expired lock and pass the same cross-org check, crediting a different org. Replaces the lock with a genuinely durable claim: BillingGrantClaim is a brand-new collection (billing.grantClaim.model.mongoose.js) with a unique index on `key` — new collection, so the index builds against no pre-existing data, no migration needed, and MongoDB enforces it permanently. BillingGrantClaimRepository.tryClaim (mirrors the existing ProcessedStripeEvent claim-by-unique-index pattern) inserts a claim before crediting; a conflict from a DIFFERENT org is the cross-org double-grant this exists to prevent, rejected immediately. A conflict from the SAME org (a replay, or this exact call retrying after a crash between claiming and writing) falls through to the existing per-org ledger guard, which is already idempotent on its own. The claim is never rolled back or expired — nothing to release, nothing to expire into a race. The original Step 0 cross-org ledger existence check stays as a legacy backstop for entries written before this claim mechanism existed. Addresses CodeRabbit's follow-up on the same #4155 review comment. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EqkUXh5nmxbVBTvhgM6zAo

retryWithBackoff's default shouldRetry retries every thrown error. BillingExtraBalanceRepository.debit's own validation errors (invalid argument: bad amount/refId) and its ORGANIZATION_NOT_FOUND AppError never succeed on retry, so the default wastes 2 extra DB round trips (~600ms) before surfacing the identical error to the caller. Passes a shouldRetry predicate that excludes those two cases; transient failures (the case retryWithBackoff exists for, #4151) still retry as before.

…when Stripe is unconfigured The retrieval-catch a few lines below already documents why a silent return is wrong here: withIdempotency records the event as processed even though nothing happened, so Stripe never redelivers it once Stripe configuration is restored. The `!stripe` guard above it had the identical failure mode but still returned. Throws now, matching the retrieval-catch's own pattern. Addresses an outside-diff-range CodeRabbit finding from the #4155 review's full-review pass on billing.webhook.service.js:253-257.

Stripe redelivers, instead of the event being recorded as processed with the subscription row left unlinked.payment_failed/payment_succeededignore a subscription alreadycanceled, so a late event can't bring it back toactive/past_due.unpaid,paused,incomplete, …) are metered on the free plan, matching the admission gate. Both now share onefailClosedStatusesconstant, so the two lists can't drift apart.retryWithBackoff. The debit is idempotent by refId, so a retry can't double-charge.findOneAndUpdate(newUserService.consumeEmailVerificationToken). Concurrent verifications no longer provision twice. An integration test runs the race against a real DB.Review
