AutoCore Webhook Replay, Failure, and Incident Response
Provides response boundaries for duplicate, delayed, invalid, and unprocessable callbacks.
Webhook failures should be classified before retrying. Preserve the safe event identity and verification result, avoid manually forcing a paid state, and use provider reconciliation when local evidence is incomplete.
Release candidate source
This article reflects the audited AutoCore source revision 7a504f6e430c16d4fcb03ebdea3cc3fb7816df60 and immutable release-candidate tag v1.0.0-rc.1 at 9edfb109f44cc80385784c694b96392cfc04e70f. Configuration and external provider behavior remain deployment-dependent.
Source boundary
| Control | Source-verified behavior |
|---|---|
| Invalid signature | Reject and alert according to provider policy; do not parse or persist business effects. |
| Duplicate | Return the safe duplicate outcome after checking the unique provider event record. |
| Delayed | Keep the attempt pending and use provider retrieval/reconciliation rather than inventing settlement. |
| Amount mismatch | Fail or quarantine the event and require operator review before any fulfilment. |
| Incident evidence | Capture timestamps, provider/event IDs, local order/attempt IDs, verification outcome, and action history. |
High-risk operation
Use explicit authorization, a written reason, a confirmation gate, and post-action verification. Documentation does not grant permission to change a deployment.
Operational controls
Use the smallest verified control for the task. Keep provider, host, legal, and operator responsibilities separate from application behavior. When a control is not implemented or not verified, leave it disabled or mark it as a limitation.
Verification
Verify the route, relevant API or configuration state, negative path, audit/evidence result, and public effect before closing the task. Record unknown or configuration-dependent behavior as a limitation.
