feat(api-utils): add paymentRequiredValidator middleware for HTTP 402 ACK-Pay challenges - #172
Conversation
… ACK-Pay challenges
WalkthroughAdds an HTTP 402 exception helper and ACK-Pay Hono middleware. The middleware issues signed payment challenges, validates bearer or proof-header receipts, injects verified payment data, and returns HTTP 400 for invalid receipts. ChangesACK-Pay payment flow
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Receipts from untrusted issuers may currently be reported as malformed requests instead of forbidden requests, which can lead clients to handle authorization failures incorrectly. Update the status mapping and add coverage before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3 | ❌ 2❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)
✅ Passed checks (3 passed)
✨ Finishing Touches🧪 Generate unit tests (beta)

- Around line 131-144: Update the receipt-validation catch around
verifyPaymentReceipt to detect UntrustedIssuerError and throw HTTP 403 for that
case, while preserving HTTP 400 for malformed receipts and other proof failures.
Add tests covering both status mappings.

Map UntrustedIssuerError to HTTP 403.
Keep HTTP 400 for malformed receipts and other proof failures. Add tests for both mappings.

What
Adds a standardized
paymentRequiredValidatormiddleware in@repo/api-utilsalongside apaymentRequiredHTTP 402 exception helper in@repo/api-utils/exceptions.This middleware automates the HTTP 402 Payment Required handshake for ACK-Pay:
PaymentRequestresponse with HTTP status code 402 when no receipt is present.Authorization: Bearer <receipt>orX-ACK-Payment-Proofheaders viaverifyPaymentReceiptfrom@agentcommercekit/ack-pay.c.get("ackPayment").Closes #171
Why
Services and demos (such as
demos/payments/src/server.ts) currently have to implement receipt header parsing, payment request signing, and error handling manually within every route handler. While@repo/api-utilsalready providessignedPayloadValidatorfor signed request payloads, having a dedicated middleware for ACK-Pay simplifies endpoint declarations to a single middleware attachment:Change
tools/api-utils/src/exceptions.ts: AddpaymentRequired(response?, message?)helper.tools/api-utils/src/middleware/payment-required-validator.ts: ImplementpaymentRequiredValidatorsupporting static/dynamic config, dual header extraction, trusted issuer checking, and typed context injection.tools/api-utils/src/middleware/payment-required-validator.test.ts: Add comprehensive assertive unit tests in Vitest.Tests
paymentRequiredValidatorreturns HTTP 402 with signed payment request when no receipt is provided.Authorizationheader verifies against trusted issuer and injectsackPayment.X-ACK-Payment-Proofheader is properly accepted.AI assistance disclosure
Per AI_POLICY.md: Developed with AI assistance (Antigravity AI Coding Assistant). The implementation, TypeScript typing, and test suites have been fully reviewed and understood by me, ensuring conformance to the ACK monorepo standards and Hono middleware conventions.
