Once a hold invoice is settled, the buyer payout involves several moving parts:
do_payment, the payment-retry scheduler, AddInvoice (a buyer replacing their
invoice after a failed attempt), and daemon restarts. Each of them decided on its
own whether a payment still had to be sent, based on indirect signals
(payment_attempts, order status, in-memory retry tasks). Under retries, invoice
replacement, or a restart at the wrong moment, those views could disagree — an
order could get stuck in settled-hold-invoice with nothing driving its payment,
or more than one dispatch could end up in flight for the same escrow.

This PR makes the pending payout an explicit, persisted piece of state and the
single source of truth for every path that touches it.

Changes

In-flight payout marker, claimed by CAS (811254c)

  • New column payout_payment_hash on orders (migration): set for a
    settled-hold-invoice order right before its payout is handed to LND.
  • do_payment claims the marker via compare-and-swap immediately before
    send_payment; a concurrent dispatch or a re-armed retry loses the CAS and is
    skipped.
  • pay_new_invoice rejects an AddInvoice replacement while a payout is in
    flight, so a fresh invoice can no longer reset payment_attempts on top of a
    pending payment — the buyer is asked to wait until the pending one resolves.
  • find_failed_payment (retry scheduler) skips orders with a payout in flight.
  • A new reconciliation job resolves stale markers against LND:
    Succeeded → finalize the order, Failed/Unknown → clear the marker and
    re-arm the retry, InFlight → keep waiting. A stranded payout therefore
    neither blocks the order forever nor gets dispatched twice, including across
    restarts.

Claim-age grace window for reconciliation (8a7cccf)

  • payout_claimed_at (migration) is sealed in the same CAS as the marker, and
    reconciliation only examines claims older than the payment-retry interval.
    This keeps a reconciliation tick that lands between claiming and LND
    registering the payment from misreading it as unknown and clearing the marker
    prematurely.
  • The claim is taken only after the LND connection is established, so a failed
    connect never leaves a marker with no payment behind it, and the
    claim→dispatch window narrows to the send_payment call itself.

Tests (bf66db9)

  • claim_order_payout is atomic (second claim loses the CAS) and refuses orders
    not in settled-hold-invoice.
  • clear_order_payout / fail_order_payout release the marker;
    fail_order_payout re-arms the retry.
  • find_failed_payment excludes orders with a payout in flight.
  • find_inflight_payouts returns only marked orders.
  • pay_new_invoice rejects an AddInvoice replacement while a payout is in
    flight.
  • hex_to_bytes round-trips and rejects malformed input.

Notes

  • Two migrations, applied automatically on startup; the marker columns default
    to NULL so existing rows are unaffected.
  • Happy-path behavior is unchanged: one settled order → one payment, same
    messages to both parties. Also fixes the long-standing case of an order stuck
    in settled-hold-invoice after a crash mid-payment, which previously required
    manual intervention.

Persist an in-flight marker (payout_payment_hash) for a settled-hold-invoice
order before dispatching its buyer payout to LND, and treat it as the single
source of truth for whether a payout is already pending:

- do_payment claims the marker via CAS right before send_payment; a second
  concurrent dispatch (or a re-armed retry) loses the CAS and is skipped.
- pay_new_invoice rejects an AddInvoice swap while a payout is in flight, so a
  fresh invoice can no longer reset payment_attempts on top of a pending payout.
- find_failed_payment skips orders with a payout in flight.
- A reconciliation job resolves the marker against LND (Succeeded -> finalize,
  Failed/Unknown -> clear and re-arm retry, InFlight -> wait), so a stranded
  payout neither blocks the order forever nor allows a duplicate dispatch,
  including across restarts.
Unit tests for the at-most-once buyer-payout tracking:

- claim_order_payout is atomic (a second claim loses the CAS) and refuses a
  non settled-hold-invoice order
- clear_order_payout and fail_order_payout release the marker; fail_order_payout
  also re-arms retry
- find_failed_payment excludes orders with a payout in flight
- find_inflight_payouts returns only marked orders
- pay_new_invoice rejects an AddInvoice swap while a payout is in flight
- hex_to_bytes round-trips and rejects malformed input
Seal a claim timestamp (payout_claimed_at) alongside payout_payment_hash in
the same CAS, and only reconcile a payout once it is older than a grace window
(the payment-retry interval). This prevents a reconciliation tick that lands in
the brief gap between claiming a payout and LND registering the payment from
treating it as unknown and clearing the marker, which could otherwise allow a
second payout to be dispatched for the same escrow.

Also claim only after the LND connection is established, so a failed connect
never leaves a marker set with no payment behind it and the claim→dispatch
window is just the send_payment call.

Walkthrough

The change adds durable buyer payout claims to orders. Atomic claims prevent duplicate payout dispatches. A Lightning-only scheduler reconciles aged claims with LND. Invoice swaps are rejected while a payout is in flight.

Changes

Buyer payout reliability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Payout state and persistence
migrations/..., src/db.rs
Orders store payout hashes and claim timestamps. Database helpers claim, clear, re-arm, and select in-flight payouts. Tests cover claim races, retry filtering, stale claims, and grace periods.
Invoice replacement guard
src/app/add_invoice.rs
Invoice updates require a settled order with no active payout claim. Tests verify that rejected updates preserve invoice data, payment attempts, and notifications.
Claimed payout dispatch
src/app/release.rs
Buyer payouts connect to LND before claiming the order. Terminal outcomes clear or re-arm the claim using the payment hash and claim timestamp.
Scheduled payout reconciliation
src/app/release.rs, src/scheduler.rs
A Lightning-only job checks aged claims every 60 seconds. It finalizes successful payments, re-arms failed or unknown payments, and preserves pending claims.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 6abbf

The change adds persisted payout claims and reconciliation to prevent duplicate buyer payouts, but failure paths can strand payouts when payment or connectivity errors occur, while a zero-row status update may clear state without confirming completion. These issues can prevent buyer payouts or leave order state incorrect, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Add an assertion that claim_order_payout writes payout_claimed_at.

insert_inflight_order sets payout_claimed_at with a direct UPDATE, so no test covers the timestamp written by claim_order_payout. A regression that drops the timestamp binding would keep every claim eligible for immediate reconciliation, and the current tests would still pass.

Clear the claim when send_payment returns an error.

The claim is written at Line 629. If send_payment fails at Line 640, the function returns Err and leaves the marker set. Nothing was submitted to LND in that path, so the order stays blocked until the reconciliation job runs, waits out the grace window, gets None from LND, and re-arms. During that window find_failed_payment skips the order and pay_new_invoice rejects a new buyer invoice.

Call crate::db::fail_order_payout in that branch so the retry path re-arms immediately.

clear_order_payout and fail_order_payout previously released the marker by
order id alone, so a status watcher that outlived its own claim could erase a
newer claim: after its stream stalls, reconciliation resolves the payout and a
fresh payout is claimed for the same order; the late watcher then cleared that
newer marker, letting the retry job dispatch another payment for the same
settled escrow.

Both helpers now take the claimed payment hash and guard the update with
AND payout_payment_hash = ?, so a stale caller only ever releases its own
claim. The do_payment watcher passes the hash it dispatched and
reconcile_inflight_payout passes the hash it reconciled.
reconcile_inflight_payout decoded the persisted payout hash with a hand-rolled
hex parser that accepted any even-length value, so a truncated or empty marker
reached the LND lookup instead of being rejected. Decode with the repository's
existing bitcoin FromHex and require exactly 32 bytes; a bad-hex or wrong-length
marker is now treated as malformed — cleared and re-armed — rather than sent to
LND. Removes the duplicate hex_to_bytes helper.

The hash-scoped marker release closed the double-dispatch race, but the
terminal side-effects around it still ran unconditionally, so a watcher that
outlived its own claim could act on a newer one:

- On success, the marker was cleared even when finalization (update_order_event
  + status CAS) failed, stranding a paid order in settled-hold-invoice with no
  recovery hook — and, on a retried payout, re-arming a second payment.
  payment_success now reports whether the order actually reached Success, and
  the marker is released only then; otherwise it is kept for reconciliation.
  Buyer notifications are sent only after the transition commits, so a retried
  finalization never duplicates them.

- On failure, retry bookkeeping and the buyer notification ran before the
  hash-scoped release, so a stale watcher polluted a newer payout's retry
  state. clear_order_payout / fail_order_payout now report claim ownership, and
  the failure bookkeeping runs only when this caller still owned the claim.

638-647: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Release the claim when send_payment fails.

The claim is taken at Line 630. If send_payment returns an error, nothing was submitted to LND, but the marker stays set. The order is then blocked for invoice replacement (pay_new_invoice) and skipped by find_failed_payment until the reconciliation job runs. Reconciliation then sees Ok(None) and calls fail_order_payout, which re-arms retry a second time after check_failure_retries_or_log already did the failure bookkeeping here.

Clear the claim on this path so retry resumes immediately and the attempt is counted once.

🔧 Proposed fix
     let payment_task = ln_client_payment.send_payment(&payment_request, amount as i64, tx);
     if let Err(payment_result) = payment_task.await {
         warn!("Error during ln payment : {}", payment_result);
-        check_failure_retries_or_log(ctx, &order, request_id).await;
+        // Nothing reached LND: release our own claim (hash-scoped) so the
+        // retry job can dispatch again without waiting for reconciliation.
+        let _ = crate::db::fail_order_payout(ctx.pool(), order.id, &payout_hash).await;
+        check_failure_retries_or_log(ctx, &order, request_id).await;
         // Do not spawn the status watcher or report Ok: nothing was submitted
         // to LND (or the attempt aborted before a usable status stream).
         return Err(payment_result);
     }

Note that fail_order_payout also sets failed_payment = true, which check_failure_retries_or_log sets as well, so the combination is consistent.

Log finalization failures on both fallback paths.

When finalization cannot build or publish the success event, or when the order or buyer lookup fails, the code returns false and retains the marker without recording the underlying error. Reconciliation then retries without an actionable diagnostic. Add a tracing::warn! including the order id and error at both sites.

Review: changes requested

I found two blocking payout-state issues on the current head. The existing CI is green and the focused local checks I ran passed, but these runtime paths can still leave the new payout marker in the wrong state or finalize the wrong order state.

  1. src/app/release.rs:641-646 — the send_payment error path still leaves the payout claim set. At this point claim_order_payout has already written payout_payment_hash, but send_payment returned an error before a usable LND status stream was submitted. The order is then skipped by find_failed_payment and AddInvoice is rejected until reconciliation eventually sees the missing payment. Please release/re-arm the hash-scoped claim here, e.g. via fail_order_payout(ctx.pool(), order.id, &payout_hash), before returning the error.

  2. src/app/release.rs:756-764rows_affected() == 0 is treated as proof that another task finalized the order successfully, but this query only proves the row is no longer in settled-hold-invoice. If a timeout/cancel/dispute path moves the order first, this branch returns Ok(true), the caller clears the payout marker, and the already-settled LND payment is no longer reconciled to Success. Please re-read the order and return true only when the current status is actually Success; for any other status, keep the marker so reconciliation can retry/fail loudly instead of silently dropping the paid payout state.

payout claim would stay locked — skipped by find_failed_payment and blocking
AddInvoice — until the grace-delayed reconciliation job ran. do_payment now
looks up the payment status for the claimed hash right there: if LND has it in
flight or already succeeded (or the lookup errors) the marker is kept so
reconciliation owns the outcome and no second payout is dispatched; otherwise
the claim is released and retry re-armed immediately, with the buyer notified.

2. src/app/release.rs:756-764rows_affected() == 0se trata como prueba de que otra tarea finalizó el pedido con éxito, pero esta consulta solo prueba que la fila ya no está en settled-hold-invoice. Si una ruta de tiempo de espera/cancelación/disputa mueve el pedido primero, esta rama devuelve Ok(true), el llamador borra el marcador de pago y el pago LND ya liquidado ya no se concilia con Success. Vuelva a leer el pedido y devuelva truesolo cuando el estado actual sea realmente Success; para cualquier otro estado, mantenga el marcador para que la conciliación pueda reintentar/fallar ruidosamente en lugar de descartar silenciosamente el estado de pago pagado.

Good catch that a zero-row CAS doesn't prove Success — but I don't think it can drop a paid payout or cause a double-pay here, and "keep the marker for reconciliation" wouldn't recover it.

A zero-row result means the order is no longer in settled-hold-invoice. Both jobs that could re-dispatch or reconcile a payout are scoped to that exact status: find_failed_payment matches "status == 'settled-hold-invoice' AND payout_payment_hash IS NULL", and find_inflight_payouts matches "payout_payment_hash IS NOT NULL AND status == 'settled-hold-invoice'". So once the order has moved off settled-hold-invoice (to Success or to a terminal admin/dispute state), neither job touches it again — clearing the marker is safe (no path re-enters settled-hold-invoice, so no second payout), and keeping it wouldn't let reconciliation retry, because reconciliation is itself settled-hold-invoice-scoped. It would just leave a dead marker nothing ever clears.

The real concern under this — an order moved to a non-Success terminal while its payout already settled on LND — is an inconsistency created upstream (the timeout/cancel/dispute path acting on an order with a payout in flight), not something payment_success can repair after the fact. If you'd like it surfaced rather than silent, I'm happy to add a read-back that logs at error level when the status is neither settled-hold-invoice nor Success, while still releasing the marker (since holding it can't reconcile a non-settled-hold-invoice order).

Re-reviewed the current head after the new commit and the reply to my previous review.

The send_payment error path now resolves the hash-scoped claim inline: it re-arms immediately when LND has no failed/in-flight/succeeded record, and keeps the marker when the payment may still settle. That addresses my blocking concern about a claim being left artificially locked after a submission error.

I also re-checked the rows_affected() == 0 discussion. Given that find_failed_payment, find_inflight_payouts, and claim_order_payout are all scoped to settled-hold-invoice and there is no transition back into that status, clearing the marker after the order leaves that state does not create a duplicate-dispatch or reconciliation path. I’m withdrawing that blocker.

Local verification on 8a56dfbb46d4296080a6c08a6d44d7cd0edd41aa:

I re-derived the payout state machine from scratch on the current head (8a56dfb) instead of trusting the PR description, and traced every path that can reach settled-hold-invoice: release_action, admin_settle, job_retry_failed_payments, AddInvoice, the in-process watcher, the new reconcile job, and a restart in the middle of each.

What I verified

  • The claim CAS is reachable in every dispatch path. Both release_action (src/app/release.rs:226-247) and admin_settle persist settled-hold-invoice to the DB before calling do_payment, so claim_order_payout's status = 'settled-hold-invoice' guard is satisfied. A stricter status guard here would otherwise have silently swallowed every payout (do_payment returns Ok(()) on a lost CAS) — it does not.
  • No full-row writer can resurrect or wipe the marker. payout_payment_hash / payout_claimed_at are not fields of mostro_core::order::Order, so Order::update() (src/app/fiat_sent.rs:88, src/flow.rs:177, …) cannot clobber them, and SELECT * into Order ignores them. The only writers are the three CAS helpers.
  • No column collision. 20260518120000_bond_payout_payment_hash.sql adds the same column name to bonds, not orders; the two new migrations sort after every existing one.
  • lookup_payment_status semantics match the branch mapping. Ok(None) is genuinely "LND does not know this hash" (NotFound at both the call and the stream, src/lightning/mod.rs:377-413), and a transport failure is Err — so the Err(_) => keep the marker decision in the send_payment error path and in reconcile fails on the correct side.
  • The retry budget still bounds retries. job_retry_failed_payments gates on payment_attempts < retries_number (src/scheduler.rs:235), so fail_order_payout setting failed_payment = true cannot produce an unbounded dispatch loop.
  • AddInvoice cannot re-arm on top of a live payout. pay_new_invoice is the only writer of buyer_invoice + payment_attempts = 0 for this status, and the added payout_payment_hash IS NULL guard closes the invoice-swap re-arm drain.
  • cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings, and cargo test (1195 passed, 0 failed) are all clean locally.

The hash-scoped release (bad6c9d) and the Ok(bool) finalization contract (b7a21e6) both hold under the interleavings I walked, including the double-payment_success case (concurrent watcher + reconcile): the status CAS elects one committer, the loser returns true without duplicating PurchaseCompleted/Rate, and clear_order_payout is idempotent.

The items below are non-blocking follow-ups. None is a confirmed defect on the happy path or on any interleaving I could construct without an implausibly stalled task, so I am not holding the PR for them — but the first two touch the invariant this PR is named after and I'd like them on record.

… with the watcher

Addresses review of the in-flight payout marker:

- Per-claim token. Scoping the marker release to the payment hash alone did
  not protect the common case where a retry re-dispatches the same BOLT11
  invoice: attempt #2 claims the same hash, so a stale watcher from attempt #1
  could clear attempt #2's live claim and re-arm retry while a payout was in
  flight. claim_order_payout now returns the claim timestamp it sealed;
  clear_order_payout / fail_order_payout scope the release to that token as
  well (hash AND payout_claimed_at), and do_payment / reconciliation carry it
  through, so a stale caller loses the CAS even when the hash matches.

- Reconcile failure parity. The reconcile Failed/Unknown/None branch now runs
  the same check_failure_retries_or_log the in-process watcher does, so a payout
  that resolves only through reconciliation (watcher lost across a restart)
  still advances payment_attempts and notifies the buyer.

- Grace-window floor. The reconcile grace window is floored at 30s so a default
  payment_retries_interval of 0 cannot collapse it to 1s, which would be
  narrower than the claim→register window it guards.

- Doc fix. reconcile's re-arm rationale now names LND's own duplicate-hash
  rejection as the backstop; send_payment's pre-send check queries signable_hash
  rather than the payment hash and is a separate pre-existing issue.

…okkeeping

Introduce a one-method PayoutStatusLookup trait (mirroring cancel.rs's
CancelLightning), implemented for LndConnector, so reconcile_inflight_payout
takes the capability rather than a concrete client and its four branches are
unit-testable with a stub: Succeeded -> finalize + release, Failed -> re-arm +
bookkeeping, InFlight -> no-op, malformed hash -> re-arm without a lookup.

The Failed test surfaced an ordering bug in that branch: it read the order
after fail_order_payout had already set failed_payment = true, so
count_failed_payment treated it as a subsequent failure and never advanced
payment_attempts or sent the first-failure notice. It now snapshots the order
before re-arming, matching the in-process watcher.

Also: name the reconcile poll cadence as a const (RECONCILE_INTERVAL_SECS) with
a note on why it is independent of the retry interval, and document that a
payout marker left on an order that has moved off settled-hold-invoice is inert
residue.
