…teLabs#467/StellarGateLabs#469/StellarGateLabs#471 Adds a merchant-keyed rate limiter on POST /payments/:id/webhooks/:delivery_id/redeliver, in addition to the existing IP-keyed "redeliver" bucket. The IP bucket alone doesn't bound a single authenticated merchant issuing requests from many source addresses, which could otherwise drive an unbounded redelivery storm against their own webhook endpoint (or, via our outbound client, against a downstream receiver). The new limiter runs after auth_middleware, inside its own sub-router, so it applies only to the redelivery route and is keyed on AuthenticatedMerchant rather than address. Also fixes a pre-existing `QuantaClock::now()` compile error (missing `governor::clock::Clock` import) hit by both the existing IP limiter and the new one. Audit findings for the other three issues in this batch: - StellarGateLabs#467 (list_webhooks cross-merchant check): already correctly scoped — `list_webhooks` filters on `payment.merchant_id == merchant_id` the same way `get_by_id` does. No code change needed. - StellarGateLabs#471 (lib.rs:104 unwrap on lock): already fixed by a prior merge (PR StellarGateLabs#600) — every TaskHealth lock now uses `.unwrap_or_else(|e| e.into_inner())`. No unwrap() remains in lib.rs. - StellarGateLabs#469 (redeliver_webhooks_bulk batch cap): NOT fixed. That handler, its route, and its DB support no longer exist in this codebase — they were dropped by an unrelated earlier merge (9263a8e, "fix(horizon): honour shutdown, resume stream cursor..."), which reverted large parts of src/api/mod.rs, src/api/payments.rs, src/db.rs, src/lib.rs, and src/metrics.rs well beyond that commit's stated scope. openapi.yaml still documents `POST /v1/payments/webhooks/redeliver` and `GET /v1/payments/webhooks` as live, which no longer matches the router. Recreating the endpoint (previously implemented with a MAX_BULK_DELIVERY_IDS = 100 cap, matching what StellarGateLabs#469 asks for) is a meaningful feature restoration, not a hardening tweak, and is left as follow-up rather than folded into this change. Note: main (both this fork and upstream StellarGateLabs/StellarGate) does not currently compile — ~34 unrelated errors from the same 9263a8e regression (mismatched TaskHealth/metrics APIs, missing AppState/ WebhookDelivery fields, missing horizon.rs functions, etc.). None of those errors are in code this change touches or introduces; cargo build was used before/after to confirm this change doesn't add to the error count. Fixing that regression is out of scope here per direction from the requester.

Summary
POST /payments/:id/webhooks/:delivery_id/redeliver, on top of the existing IP-keyed"redeliver"bucket (issue API hardening review: POST /payments/:id/webhooks/redeliver (redeliver_webhook) #468). The IP bucket alone doesn't bound a single authenticated merchant issuing requests from many source addresses (rotating egress IPs, worker pools, proxies) — such a merchant could otherwise drive an unbounded redelivery storm against their own webhook endpoint, or, since the request goes out through our client, look like one against a downstream receiver. The new limiter runs in its own sub-router, layered afterauth_middlewareso it can key onAuthenticatedMerchantrather than address, and applies only to the redelivery route.governor::clock::QuantaClock::now()compile error (missinguse governor::clock::Clock;) that both the pre-existing IP limiter and this new merchant limiter hit.Findings
#467 —
list_webhookscross-merchant authorization: already correct.payments::list_webhooksfilters onpayment.merchant_id == merchant_idthe same wayget_by_iddoes, and reports a 404 (not 403) for another merchant's payment so it can't be used to enumerate ids. No code change needed.#471 —
src/lib.rs:104unwrap on lock: already fixed, by the prior merge in PR #600 (fix: replace unwrap() with poison-tolerant lock acquisition in TaskHealth). EveryTaskHealthlock now uses.unwrap_or_else(|e| e.into_inner()). There is nounwrap()left insrc/lib.rs.#469 —
redeliver_webhooks_bulkbatch-size cap: NOT fixed, flagging explicitly rather than silently closing. That handler, its route (POST /payments/webhooks/redeliver), and its DB support (db::requeue_failed_deliveries, plus the siblinglist_merchant_webhooks/GET /payments/webhooks) do not exist anywhere in the current codebase. They were dropped — along with a large amount of unrelated functionality (per-merchant rate-limit config, keyset pagination for webhook deliveries,manual_attempts/acknowledged_attracking, asset-issuer backfill, batchedexpire_overdue, and more, acrosssrc/api/mod.rs,src/api/payments.rs,src/db.rs,src/lib.rs,src/metrics.rs) — by an unrelated earlier merge,9263a8ef("fix(horizon): honour shutdown, resume stream cursor, skip unhashed records, persist asset_issuer"), whose diff reverted large sections of those files well beyond its stated scope.openapi.yamlstill documentsPOST /v1/payments/webhooks/redeliverandGET /v1/payments/webhooksas live endpoints, which no longer matches the router — this drift is exactly whattests/openapi_contract.rsexists to catch, but the crate currently fails to build (see below) so that guard isn't running.The prior implementation (visible in the
9263a8efdiff) already had the exact protection #469 asks for — aMAX_BULK_DELIVERY_IDS = 100cap on explicitly-listed ids per request. Recreating the endpoint is a genuine feature restoration (new route, handler, DB queries/migration, tests), not a hardening tweak, so per direction from the requester (fix the four named issues, don't take on unrelated repo-wide breakage) it's left as follow-up rather than folded into this change. Recommend either restoring the endpoint or removing the now-phantom paths fromopenapi.yamlso the spec matches the router again.Known pre-existing issue:
