Ch.01What I look for

The bug nobody wrote a test for.

The failure classes that survive a happy-path suite. These are the ones worth hunting.

  1. 01

    Idempotency · payments

    Refund issued twice on a retried webhook

    caught by
    Status flips to paid exactly once, however many times the webhook fires

  2. 02

    Timing · crypto

    Invoice expires mid-checkout with no retry path

    caught by
    An expired invoice issues a fresh one instead of failing silently

  3. 03

    Validation · security

    Payout accepted for an unverified wallet address

    caught by
    Unverified destination is refused. No override path exists

  4. 04

    Boundary · logic

    Cashback tier miscounted across a month boundary

    caught by
    Tier maths asserted on the last and first second of the period

  5. 05

    Config drift · compliance

    Country dropdown offers more than the allowlist permits

    caught by
    The rendered list is diffed against the allowlist, not eyeballed

  6. 06

    Fallback · pricing

    Rate drifts past tolerance on the fallback path

    caught by
    The fallback quote is held to the same tolerance as the primary

  7. 07

    Reconciliation · data

    DB row and API response disagree after a transfer

    caught by
    Every money-moving flow reconciles the ledger against the response

  8. 08

    State · realtime

    Session desyncs after a host reconnect

    caught by
    Reconnect is asserted from both sides, not just the host

A coverage grid: eight payment surfaces down the side, five test layers across the top, filled cells where that surface has been taken through that layer, and blanks where it has not.
Thirty-three of fifty cells. The blanks are the point — a coverage grid with none in it is a lie.

That is the method. Here is where it ran.

Three projects, opened in full. The problem, what I actually did, and what changed because of it.

Ch.05Selected work

Three that show the range.

Each one opens as its own page — the problem, what I actually did, and what changed.
