The first ads slice: a voluntary rewarded video credits chips. VK Mini App ads
(VKWebAppShowNativeAds) expose only a client-side watch result — no
server-to-server verify — so the credit is client-attested, guarded by a server
daily + hourly cap (config reward_daily_cap / reward_hourly_cap, default 50 / 10).
The caps are both anti-abuse (bounding a forger who skips the ad and calls the
endpoint directly) and an economic conversion lever (limiting free chips so a
player who wants more buys). D29 amended to VK's reality.
Backend: CreditReward (VK-only, order-less, idempotent on a client nonce, floored
by the caps; payout from config rewarded_payout_chips, default 0 = off) + the
wallet.reward edge op returning the updated wallet (reward_chips gates the
"watch for chips" CTA). Additive migration (two config columns).
Client: the ads-network abstraction (lib/ads.ts, VK impl) + the VK bridge
(vkRewardedReady / vkShowRewarded) + the Wallet CTA + i18n. A contour test stub
(VITE_ADS_STUB -> a toast instead of a real ad; prod always real) and a temporary
diagnostic that logs the raw VK data, so we confirm on the contour exactly what
VK returns (harden to signature-verify if it carries one).
Tests: backend integration (credit, nonce idempotency, hourly cap, disabled,
non-VK refusal) + codec unit (reward wire). Docs: PAYMENTS(+ru) §10, D29 amend,
PLAN E6. Bundle: shared budget 30->31 (reward i18n strings).
Stand up the internal chip/benefit mechanic behind the narrow payments interface:
context-aware balances and benefits, an atomic chip spend, admin grants as
zero-price value sales, the one-directional store-compliance gate (VK/TG same-
origin only, web draws direct→vk→tg, VK-iOS frozen, untrusted fail-closed), and
per-origin hint and no-ads application with term stacking. Reads are served from
an in-process, account-keyed write-through cache (mirroring the suspension gate),
so hot paths issue no query to the payments schema.
Flip the online-game hint wallet and the ad-banner suppression from the deprecated
accounts.hint_balance / paid_account columns to the payments benefit (a hint
balance no longer suppresses the banner — only a no-ads benefit does), and fold
chip segments and benefits by origin on account merge, inside the merge tx. Add
the GET/POST /api/v1/user/wallet edge chain (REST → Connect → FlatBuffers) plus
its codec unit test; no wallet UI yet.
Bring the frozen owner decisions log into the repo at
docs/PAYMENTS_DECISIONS_ru.md (it was untracked under .vscode) and reference it
from PLAN.md; record the read-cache design and the present-sources interface in
PLAN.md and docs/PAYMENTS.md (+ RU mirror).
