# feat: implement checkout recovery and resilience framework

[saidai-bhuvanesh]

Summary

This PR introduces a robust checkout recovery and failure-resilience framework for Brownie-Bliss. The implementation protects customers from losing checkout progress due to browser refreshes, network interruptions, backend failures, duplicate submissions, and unexpected application crashes.

The goal is to ensure that orders remain consistent, recoverable, and reliable throughout the entire checkout lifecycle.

Problem Statement

Previously, the checkout workflow had several reliability gaps:

• Interrupted checkout sessions could result in lost order progress.
• Network failures could leave orders in an incomplete state.
• Browser refreshes could force customers to restart checkout.
• Duplicate requests could create inconsistent checkout behavior.
• Failed order creation attempts lacked recovery mechanisms.

These issues could reduce checkout completion rates and negatively impact customer experience.

Changes Implemented

Checkout Recovery Framework

• Introduced a dedicated checkout recovery workflow.
• Added recovery tokens for interrupted checkout sessions.
• Implemented secure checkout restoration endpoints.
• Enabled customers to continue previously interrupted checkout flows.

Order State Consistency

• Added validation for checkout state transitions.
• Prevented invalid checkout states.
• Improved order lifecycle reliability.
• Added safeguards against partial order creation.

Retry-Safe Processing

• Added safe retry mechanisms for interrupted requests.
• Prevented duplicate order creation during retries.
• Added validation before processing recovery requests.

Failure Recovery

• Added recovery support for:

  • Network interruptions
  • Browser refreshes
  • Temporary backend failures
  • Interrupted checkout sessions

Security Improvements

• Recovery token validation
• Anti-tampering protections
• Replay attack prevention
• Secure checkout state verification
