Top 4 critical problems

  1. Stock reduced before payment confirmationwc_reduce_stock_levels() called before gateway API; not restored on failure. (Planted Issue 8)
  2. process_refund() always returns true — unconditional return true at line 159; no amount, state, or capability validation. (Root cause of planted Issue 3 + bonus Issues below)
  3. Excessive refund ($9999.99) silently accepted on $25 order — financial compliance failure. (Planted Issues 3/bonus)
  4. Magellan Pay fields missing from classic shortcode checkout — checkout page renders as cart; payment form absent. (Bonus finding, confidence 0.90 — possible test-automation artifact, flagged for human review)

9 bonus findings not in answer key

Block-checkout incompatibility (WC Store API payment method not registered), HPOS-incompatible legacy order URLs (post.php vs wc-orders), duplicate refund succeeds with no guard, full refund logs $0.00 instead of order total, missing lifecycle hooks (register_uninstall_hook), unprepared get_count() SQL, unescaped transaction ID output, API keys plaintext in HTML source (caught-exact for planted Issue 7).

Escape analysis (recall vs planted answer key)

# Issue Severity Verdict
1 No test mode indicator on checkout Easy / UI missed
2 Transaction log has no pagination Easy / UI caught-semantically
3 Refund button works for wrong gateway Medium / Logic caught-semantically
4 Test mode toggle doesn't clear/separate API keys Medium / Logic missed
5 Float rounding errors on transaction amounts Medium / Data caught-exact
6 Empty API key saves silently in live mode Medium / UX missed
7 API keys visible in page source as plain text Hard / Security caught-exact
8 Stock reduced before payment confirmation Hard / Logic caught-exact
9 Zero-total orders sent to gateway Hard / Edge Case missed
10 Double-click creates duplicate orders Hard / Race Condition caught-semantically (source-inspection, no empirical probe)

Recall: 6/10 (60%)

Miss root causes

Issue Root cause class Proposed amendment
1 (no test-mode badge) Absence-of-feature blind spot Mode-state visibility probe — verify every mode-affected surface shows a visible indicator
4 (shared API keys across modes) Single-feature bias Configuration-toggle × dependent-fields — enter values, switch toggle, assert per-mode storage
6 (empty keys save silently) Absence-of-feature blind spot Required-field validation absence probe — extends Amendment 2 to admin credentials forms
9 (zero-total to gateway) Data-state bias Payment amount edge-state probe — zero-total, fractional-cent, very large amount — extends Amendment B

Notes

  • KI-001 workaround worked: both r2 re-dispatches completed cleanly with chrome-devtools-headless.
  • Checkout critical finding (Problem 4) has confidence 0.90 — may be a test-automation artifact (classic checkout page may not have been properly set up). Flagged for human verification.
  • Issue 10 (double-click race condition) caught semantically but only via source inspection; Amendment I (empirical-probe-mandatory) continues to leak on rapid-double-submit — third occurrence of this drift pattern, reinforcement candidate.
  • c2 Reinforcement 3 (scale-sensitive source-pattern) may not have fully closed the pagination-as-scale framing; Issue 2 caught semantically rather than as a dedicated pagination-UX problem.
