Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Use a patched implementation for a bounded integration pilot.

Why
Working test integrations support experimentation, while payment replay, fee sponsorship and delivery recovery require implementation-specific controls.
Next
Pin the SDK and payment method, verify applicable patches, and test concurrent retries, replay, failed delivery, refunds and reconciliation before increasing payment exposure.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Payment success does not ensure recoverable service delivery.
  • Older mppx versions contain replay and fee-draining vulnerabilities.
  • Fix adoption and regression results require verification for the deployed implementation.
  • Evidence from one payment method does not validate another.
  • Broad production reliability and cross-rail interoperability remain unestablished.
