# Auction QA Verification Report — 2026-07-30

## Final classification

**READY AFTER MANUAL QA**

## Why not READY TO MERGE

Completed against real Atlas MongoDB (isolated `zafirra_auction_qa` DB):

- schema persistence
- concurrency/integration bidding (4/4)
- static claim verification (shared atomic bid, finalize, hold, permissions wiring)
- targeted auction unit/contract tests

Not completed in this environment (no prepared provider/admin/customer accounts, no running app worker session for end-to-end HTTP/Socket/dashboard wallet flows):

- full moderation lifecycle with real auth accounts
- wallet deposit/pay balances before/after
- cron start/end live observation with app process
- Socket.IO live transport QA
- dashboard RTL/LTR visual QA
- notification delivery inspection
- winner payment → Order live path
- winner default admin resolution live path

Worktree also contains **large unrelated dirty state** (product reports, return requests, countries UI, chat, etc.). Auction QA cannot certify those modules.

## Test totals

| Suite | Result |
|---|---|
| Baseline (pre-impl) | 815 pass |
| Targeted auction/unit | 24 pass / 0 fail |
| Mongo concurrency integration | **4 pass / 0 fail** (~9.6s) |
| Full `npm test` (latest run) | see terminal — may include unrelated OpenAPI failures from return-requests |

## Mongo concurrency evidence

- MongoDB **8.0.28**
- Topology **replicaSet:atlas-10sf5u-shard-0**
- Database **zafirra_auction_qa** (isolated; not app default DB)
- Command: `AUCTION_CONCURRENCY_MONGO_URI=<qa-uri> node --test test/auctionBidConcurrency.integration.test.js`
- Results: concurrent CAS, idempotency replay, anti-snipe maxExtensions, post-end rejection — all passed

## Schema persistence evidence (sanitized)

Persisted fields confirmed present; `reservePrice` stored at `500.25` and absent without `+reservePrice` select; legacy seller doc readable.

## Static claim verification

- Socket + HTTP both call `placeBidAtomic` (no independent Bid.create in socket helper)
- `endAuction` → `finalizeAuction`
- `paymentDeadline` → `handleWinnerPaymentDefault` (no forfeit call in that handler)
- `HELD_FOR_REVIEW` on default
- Admin auction routes use `requirePermission(...)`

## Manual lifecycle / wallet / cron / socket / dashboard

**Not executed** — blocked by missing non-production app session + seeded accounts in this agent environment.

Follow `docs/AUCTION_MANUAL_QA.md` on a dedicated staging instance.

## Scope note

Unrelated modified/untracked files in the worktree must not be assumed auction-related. Review auction-authored files separately before merge.
