idempotency.rs

1//! Idempotent event handling (issue #134): an **inbox** that records each
2//! external event's id once, so a duplicate, replayed, concurrent or
3//! out-of-order delivery applies its effects exactly once.
4//!
5//! Verifying a Stripe webhook's signature and timestamp authenticates a
6//! *delivery* — it does not stop Stripe from delivering the same event twice
7//! (it retries), or two workers from processing the same event at once. A
8//! module wraps its handler in a [`claim`](Inbox::claim): the primary key plus
9//! `ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING` lets exactly one caller insert the row, so exactly
10//! one caller sees `true` and does the work.
11//!
12//! ```ignore
13//! let inbox = Inbox::new("billing_inbox");
14//! let event = payments.verify_webhook(sig, body).await?; // verified first
15//! if inbox.claim(db, &event.id, &now).await? {
16//!     // first time: apply the effect (grant the entitlement, ...)
17//! } // else: a duplicate delivery — already handled, do nothing
18//! ```
19//!
20//! The owning module includes [`Inbox::create_table_sql`] as a migration (it
21//! owns the table, per the module contract). Prune old rows on whatever horizon
22//! the provider retries within; the inbox is a dedup ledger, not a record.
