+**Status:** WIP · **Release 2** · depends on: E0, E1, E2, E4 · mechanics: PAYMENTS §9, §12.

+**Delivery & baked decisions.** Shipped as a linear PR stack (owner's choice), Robokassa first.
+Resolved: match the order by a Robokassa **`Shp_order`** custom parameter, not the numeric `InvId`
+(an order id is a uuid); idempotency key = the order id (`provider_payment_id = order_id`); the НПД
+receipt is formed **shop-side in the Robokassa cabinet**, so no `Receipt` parameter is sent; a
+chargeback **never drives the balance negative** (D27 stands, `balances_chips_chk` kept), so E5 is
+**schema-free** (no migration, no contour wipe). Delivered on `feature/payment-intake-robokassa`:
+the offer page (`/offer/`), the order/`fund` engine (idempotent, honours an expired order), the
+`internal/robokassa` adapter, the `POST /wallet/order` + internal Result-callback handlers (a D36
+confirmed-email gate on `direct`), the pending reaper, the `wallet.order` edge wire + the public
+`/pay/*` routes, the Wallet purchase CTA, and the contour deploy env (IsTest forced). Remaining:
+the `payment_events` dispatcher (delivery), then the VK and TG-Stars rails and refunds.
 
 **Goal.** Accept real money on all three rails into the payments domain: order-flow,
 verified provider callbacks, idempotency, the TG bot SQLite outbox, the event dispatcher,
