network options:
  -i IP            IPs and/or unix-sockets to listen on (comma-separated
                    list; see --help-bind). Default: all IPv4 and IPv6
                    (default: ::)
  -p PORT          ports to listen on (comma/range); ignored for unix-sockets
                    (default: 3923)
  --ll             include link-local IPv4/IPv6 in mDNS replies, even if the
                    NIC has routable IPs (breaks some mDNS clients) (default:
                    False)
  --rproxy DEPTH   which ip to associate clients with; [0]=tcp, [1]=origin
                    (first x-fwd, unsafe), [-1]=closest-proxy,
                    [-2]=second-hop, [-3]=third-hop (default: 9999999)
  --xff-hdr NAME   if reverse-proxied, which http header to read the client's
                    real ip from (default: x-forwarded-for)
  --xf-host NAME   if reverse-proxied, which http header to read the correct
                    Host value from; this header must contain the server's
                    external domain name (default: x-forwarded-host)
  --xf-proto NAME  if reverse-proxied, which http header to read the correct
                    protocol value from; this header must contain either
                    'http' or 'https' (default: x-forwarded-proto)
  --xf-proto-fb T  protocol to assume if the X-Forwarded-Proto header
                    (--xf-proto) is not provided by the reverseproxy; either
                    'http' or 'https' (default: )
  --xff-src CIDR   list of trusted reverse-proxy CIDRs (comma-separated);
                    only accept the real-ip header (--xff-hdr) and IdP
                    headers if the incoming connection is from an IP within
                    either of these subnets. Specify [lan] to allow all LAN /
                    private / non-internet IPs. Can be disabled with [any] if
                    you are behind cloudflare (or similar) and are using
                    --xff-hdr=cf-connecting-ip (or similar) (default:
                    127.0.0.0/8, ::1/128)
  --ipa CIDR       only accept connections from IP-addresses inside CIDR
                    (comma-separated); examples: [lan] or [10.89.0.0/16,
                    192.168.33.0/24]
                    └─for performance and security, this only looks at the
                     TCP/Network-level IP, and will NOT work behind a
                     reverseproxy (default: )
  --ipar CIDR      only accept connections from IP-addresses inside CIDR
                    (comma-separated).
                    └─this is reverseproxy-compatible; reads client-IP from
                     'X-Forwarded-For' if possible, with TCP/Network IP as
                     fallback (default: )
  --rp-loc PATH    if reverse-proxying on a location instead of a dedicated
                    domain/subdomain, provide the base location here;
                    example: [/foo/bar] (default: )
  --cachectl TXT   default-value of the 'Cache-Control' response-header
                    (controls caching in webbrowsers). Default prevents
                    repeated downloading of the same file unless necessary
                    (browser will ask copyparty if the file has changed).
                    Examples: [max-age=604869] will cache for 7 days,
                    [no-store, max-age=0] will always redownload.
                    (volflag=cachectl) (default: no-cache)
  --http-vary TXT  value of the 'Vary' response-header; a hint for caching
                    proxies (default: Origin, PW, Cookie)
  --http-no-tcp    do not listen on TCP/IP for http/https; only listen on
                    unix-domain-sockets (default: False)
  --freebind       allow listening on IPs which do not yet exist, for example
                    if the network interfaces haven't finished going up. Only
                    makes sense for IPs other than '0.0.0.0', '127.0.0.1',
                    '::', and '::1'. May require running as root (unless
                    net.ipv6.ip_nonlocal_bind) (default: False)
  --wr-h-eps PATH  write list of listening-on ip:port to textfile at PATH
                    when http-servers have started (default: )
  --wr-h-aon PATH  write list of accessible-on ip:port to textfile at PATH
                    when http-servers have started (default: )
  --s-thead SEC    socket timeout (read request header) (default: 120)
  --s-tbody SEC    socket timeout (read/write request/response bodies). Use
                    60 on fast servers (default is extremely safe). Disable
                    with 0 if reverse-proxied for a 2% speed boost (default:
                    128.0)
  --s-rd-sz B      socket read size in bytes (indirectly affects filesystem
                    writes; recommendation: keep equal-to or lower-than
                    --iobuf) (default: 262144)
  --s-wr-sz B      socket write size in bytes (default: 262144)
  --s-wr-slp SEC   debug: socket write delay in seconds (default: 0.0)
  --rsp-slp SEC    debug: response delay in seconds (default: 0.0)

                    0.0)
  --list-nics      debug: list detected network adapters (default: False)

                    certificate chain (if --certkey is not set), or just the
                    certificate chain (if --certkey is set) (default:
                    /home/sebas/.config/copyparty/cert.pem)
  --certkey PATH   path to file containing just the certificate key; if this
                    is set, then --cert should only contain the certificate
                    chain (default: )
  --ssl-ver LIST   set allowed ssl/tls versions; [help] shows available
                    versions; default is what your python version considers
                    safe (default: )
  --ciphers LIST   set allowed ssl/tls ciphers; [help] shows available
                    ciphers (default: )
  --ssl-dbg        dump some tls info (default: False)

IdP / identity provider / user authentication options:
  --idp-h-usr HN   REPEATABLE: bypass the copyparty authentication checks if
                    the request-header HN contains a username to associate
                    the request with (for use with authentik/oauth/...)
                   WARNING: if you enable this, make sure clients are unable
                    to specify this header themselves; must be washed away
                    and replaced by a reverse-proxy (default: None)
  --idp-hm-usr T   REPEATABLE: bypass the copyparty authentication checks if
                    the request-header T is provided, and its value exists in
                    a mapping defined by this option; see --help-idp
                    (default: None)
  --idp-h-grp HN   assume the request-header HN contains the groupname of the
                    requesting user; can be referenced in config files for
                    group-based access control (default: )
  --idp-h-key HN   optional but recommended safeguard; your reverse-proxy
                    will insert a secret header named HN into all requests,
                    and the other IdP headers will be ignored if this header
                    is not present (default: )
  --idp-gsep RE    if there are multiple groups in --idp-h-grp, they are
                    separated by one of the characters in RE (default: |:;+,)
  --idp-chsub TXT  characters to replace in usernames/groupnames; a list of
                    pairs of characters separated by | so for example | _|
                    will replace spaces with _ to make configuration easier,
                    or |%_|^_|@_| will replace %/^/@ with _ (default: )
  --idp-db PATH    where to store the known IdP users/groups (if you run
                    multiple copyparty instances, make sure they use
                    different DBs) (default:
                    /home/sebas/.config/copyparty/idp.db)
  --idp-store N    how to use --idp-db; [0] = entirely disable, [1] =
                    write-only (effectively disabled), [2] = remember users,
                    [3] = remember users and groups.
                   NOTE: Will remember and restore the IdP-volumes of all
                    users for all eternity if set to 2 or 3, even when user
                    is deleted from your IdP (default: 1)
  --idp-adm U,U    comma-separated list of users allowed to use /?idp (the
                    cache management UI) (default: )
  --idp-cookie S   generate a session-token for IdP users which is written to
                    cookie cppws (or cppwd if plaintext), to reduce the load
                    on the IdP server, lifetime S seconds.
                    └─note: The expiration time is a client hint only; the
                     actual lifetime of the session-token is infinite (until
                     next restart with --ses-db wiped) (default: 0)
  --idp-login L    replace all login-buttons with a link to URL L (unless pw
                    is in --auth-ord then both will be shown); [{dst}]
                    expands to url of current page (default: )

  --pw-urlp NAME   lowercase name of password url-param (?NAME=foo); WARNING:
                    Changing this will break support for many clients
                    (default: pw)
  --no-bauth       disable basic-authentication support; do not accept
                    passwords from the 'Authenticate' header at all. NOTE:
                    This breaks support for the android app (default: False)
  --bauth-last     keeps basic-authentication enabled, but only as a
                    last-resort; if a cookie is also provided then the cookie
                    wins (default: False)
  --ses-db PATH    where to store the sessions database (if you run multiple
                    copyparty instances, make sure they use different DBs)
                    (default: /home/sebas/.config/copyparty/sessions.db)

                    username which is known (default: acct)
  --ipu CIDR=USR   REPEATABLE: users with IP matching CIDR are
                    auto-authenticated as username USR; example:
                    [172.16.24.0/24=dave] (default: None)
  --ipr CIDR=USR   REPEATABLE: username USR can only connect from an IP
                    matching one or more CIDR (comma-sep.); example:
                    [192.168.123.0/24,172.16.0.0/16=dave] (default: None)

user-changeable passwords options:
  --chpw           allow users to change their own passwords (default: False)
  --chpw-no U,U,U  REPEATABLE: do not allow password-changes for this


**Testing syntax for port mapping**

I think I can set the volume mapping for root and check what's currently in the /files/ directory. It seems like I might need to test the syntax to ensure everything runs smoothly. Maybe I should try running a temporary command on a different port with that mapping. Using curl to inspect could help verify that things are working as expected. I'm eager to see how that all plays out!

bash

tmp=$(mktemp -d); /home/sebas/runtime/venvs/copyparty/bin/copyparty -i 127.0.0.1 -p 43923 --http-only --no-crt --name test -v /home/sebas::r -v /mnt:/mnt:r >$tmp/log 2>&1 & pid=$!; sleep 2; python - <<'PY'

**Updating service compatibility**

I need to check the service file to implement an update with compatibility through an Nginx redirect from /files/home/ to /files/. This is important because changing the root path would break older links. I should consider adding an Nginx rewrite before the proxy. Additionally, I might look into whether the /files/home directory needs root listing. It seems like I may need to modify the systemd unit, which is likely managed manually.

**Considering system edits**

I’m thinking about editing the systemd service and the nginx config. I’ll have to reload or restart after those changes, and I definitely need to test it afterward. While it’s reversible, it still impacts a live service, so I need to be cautious. It feels like a small task, but it’s multi-step. I could probably tackle it directly. Just need to be organized as I work through it!

**Fixing redirects**

I see there's an issue with redirecting from `/files/home/...` to `/files/` because it loses the tail path. I need to correct the rewrite rule before applying it. Using `rewrite ^/files/home/(.*)$ /files/$1?$args` might help, but I wonder if I can use regex capture in the prefix location for return. I need to patch that and consider if a symlink in the sites-enabled directory is sufficient for editing. Alright, let's patch this up!

    location ^~ /files/home/ {
        return 302 /files/$is_args$args;
    }

    location ^~ /files/home/ {
        rewrite ^/files/home/(.*)$ /files/$1 redirect;
    }


     ...
  35         return 302 /files/;
  36     }
  37
  38     location ^~ /files/home/ {
- 39         return 302 /files/$is_args$args;
+ 39         rewrite ^/files/home/(.*)$ /files/$1 redirect;
  40     }

**Considering system permissions**

I think I need to utilize sudo here because I might not be operating as root. That’s probably key to getting the right permissions. I wonder if I also need to check systemctl permissions, but running with sudo should cover it. If I'm not careful, I might run into issues with access! So, I’ll make sure to include sudo when I’m executing my commands. I really want to avoid any permission-related headaches!

**Considering permissions and commands**

I’m wondering if I need to use `sudo` because I might not have the necessary permissions. Maybe I can restart copyparty without `sudo`? I think using `systemctl` might give me a "permission denied" error, so I should probably inspect that. I want to explore the situation a bit more to find a solution that works!

**Executing system commands**

I need to use `sudo` for the commands like `systemctl daemon-reload` and `nginx -t`. It seems clear that I have to ensure proper permissions to execute them, right? So, I think I'll proceed with running those commands. I just need to be mindful of any outputs or errors that may arise afterwards, as they could help me debug if something goes wrong. Alright, I'm on it!

**Testing URL usage**

I need to consider how to use absolute locations properly, maybe by referencing "http://127.0.0.1", which is often for local testing. If I'm using a public host, it sounds like I should utilize a public URL instead. Okay, I think I really need to test that out to see how it works in practice. Let's make sure everything gets used appropriately to avoid any confusion going forward!

Updated #7 (in_progress → completed)


Hecho.

Cambié copyparty para que quede más directo:
- `/home/sebas/...` ahora sale como:
  - `/files/...`
- `/mnt/...` sigue:
  - `/files/mnt/...`

Compat:
- links viejos `/files/home/...` ahora redirigen a `/files/...`

Cambios:
- `copyparty.service`
  - volumen root cambió de `/home/sebas:/home:r`
  - a `/home/sebas::r`
- nginx:
  - redirect legacy `/files/home/...` -> `/files/...`
- docs:
  - actualicé `pi-config/AGENTS.md`

Links nuevos:
- https://ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net/files/pi-config/docs/backlog-review-slices-2026-05-12.md
- https://ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net/files/pi-config/docs/BACKLOG.md

Compat vieja:
- https://ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net/files/home/pi-config/docs/BACKLOG.md
  - redirige solo a la nueva

Si querés, siguiente paso:
- barro `AGENTS` y otras docs para corregir ejemplos viejos de links.


[telegram] que hiciste?


Hice esto:

1. Cambié cómo publica copyparty
- antes:
  - `/home/sebas/pi-config/...`
  - se veía como `/files/home/pi-config/...`
- ahora:
  - se ve como `/files/pi-config/...`

2. Dejé compat con links viejos
- `/files/home/...`
- ahora redirige a `/files/...`

3. Toqué config real
- `/etc/systemd/system/copyparty.service`
- `/etc/nginx/sites-available/kiosk`
- `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/kiosk`
- `/home/sebas/pi-config/AGENTS.md`

4. Reinicié/recargué servicios
- restart copyparty
- reload nginx

5. Verifiqué
- nuevo link funciona
- viejo link redirige

Ejemplo:
- nuevo:
  - `https://ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net/files/pi-config/docs/BACKLOG.md`
- viejo:
  - `https://ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net/files/home/pi-config/docs/BACKLOG.md`
  - redirige al nuevo

O sea: no solo cambié cómo linkeo yo. Cambié el file server para que la URL sea más limpia y parecida al path real útil.

./README.md:19:  - migración de QR/order lifecycle hacia host app en progreso
./README.md:47:- `BALLBOX_MERCADOPAGO_EXTERNAL_POS_ID`: `external_pos_id` por defecto para creación de orders QR (se puede override por request)
./README.md:141:- Creación de orders QR implementada en host app (`/api/integrations/payments/orders`)
./PLAN.md:29:- Payments are now owned inside Ballbox host app: native MercadoPago webhook intake exists under `/notification/mercadopago` and resolves QR notifications by fetching the upstream order.
./PLAN.md:30:- Payments host app now also exposes native QR order creation under `/api/integrations/payments/orders`, generating canonical `externalReference` values required for approved-session persistence correlation.
./PLAN.md:31:- `/admin/payments` now also generates live MercadoPago QR orders for arbitrary amounts or per-product prices, with money inputs expressed in major units (for example `15.00` or `1000.00`), then shows the QR preview/order id for scan-and-pay validation.
./PLAN.md:32:- That admin QR surface is now positioned as a provider test/debug harness; production vending-machine payments should integrate through the TCN machine protocol and let the machine render the buyer-facing QR.
./PLAN.md:161:- For the current Ballbox Mercado Pago account/API surface, QR order creation now relies on the account-level webhook configuration instead of sending inline `notification_url`, because Mercado Pago rejects that field on `POST /v1/orders` for this setup.
./PLAN.md:162:- Unsupported merchant-order notification topics are ignored so only QR order events drive persistence.

This means the admin QR page should be treated as a provider test harness, and production integration should move to a TCN adapter layer.

./docs/implemented-payments.md:8:- `/admin/payments` now manages local approved payment sessions directly for reconciliation/correction and also generates live MercadoPago QR orders for arbitrary amounts or product-priced orders.
./docs/implemented-payments.md:9:- The admin QR generator should now be treated as an operator test/debug harness for Mercado Pago and webhook validation, not as the final buyer-facing vending-machine payment UX.
./docs/implemented-payments.md:10:- The QR generator accepts money values in major units with decimals (for example `15.00` or `1000.00`) and converts them to Mercado Pago minor units before submission.
./docs/implemented-payments.md:24:- QR Code notifications use the upstream order fetch plus canonical-reference mapping as the acceptance gate.
./docs/implemented-payments.md:32:- Ballbox native QR order creation path is `/api/integrations/payments/orders`.
./docs/implemented-payments.md:33:- For the current Ballbox Mercado Pago account/API surface, QR order create relies on the account-level webhook configuration instead of sending inline `notification_url` in the order payload, because Mercado Pago rejects that field on `POST /v1/orders` for this setup.
./docs/implemented-payments.md:34:- That route accepts an explicit amount for arbitrary charges or falls back to the Ballbox `Product.priceMinor` when the amount is omitted, which powers per-product QR generation in the admin UI.
./docs/implemented-payments.md:36:- QR webhook persistence now depends on the upstream order fetch plus canonical-reference mapping; merchant-order topic events are ignored.
./docs/implemented-payments.md:46:- The admin surface includes a live QR generator preview for provider-level scan-and-pay validation, but production vending flow should move behind the TCN machine protocol instead of relying on that admin page.
./docs/implemented-payments.md:48:- TCN protocol review indicates the `additional hardware devices` warning applies to machine-side QR scanning, while the payment flow (`FunCode=8000`) returns `CodeUrl` for machine-screen QR display; see `docs/tcn-payments-integration-plan.md` and `test-results/tcn-payment-protocol/findings-2026-04-23.md`.

**Considering QR testing steps**

I need to determine what steps the user should take to test the QR code. It's possible that they might need to look at the README or documentation for any environment details and the admin page. I think I should thoroughly read through those relevant snippets to ensure I provide accurate guidance. Let's dive into those resources and see what we can find to help the user effectively!


- TVs player runtime cache/media/impression/heartbeat/manifest-refresh logic now lives in one shared core used by both the React player and the lightweight plain-JS player shell.
- Maintainability review for the next refactor cycle is documented in `docs/maintainability-priorities-2026-03.md`.
- Payments are now owned inside Ballbox host app: native MercadoPago webhook intake exists under `/notification/mercadopago` and resolves QR notifications by fetching the upstream order.
- Payments host app now also exposes native QR order creation under `/api/integrations/payments/orders`, generating canonical `externalReference` values required for approved-session persistence correlation.
- `/admin/payments` now also generates live MercadoPago QR orders for arbitrary amounts or per-product prices, with money inputs expressed in major units (for example `15.00` or `1000.00`), then shows the QR preview/order id for scan-and-pay validation.
- That admin QR surface is now positioned as a provider test/debug harness; production vending-machine payments should integrate through the TCN machine protocol and let the machine render the buyer-facing QR.
- Club revenue share is currently handled with scheduled manual settlements/bookkeeping; Mercado Pago native split stays deferred until the machine flow and club count justify it.
- Legacy approved-callback compatibility has been removed from operations; `/api/integrations/payments/approved` now returns `410` so only the native MercadoPago path remains active.
- `/admin/payments` now exposes Ballbox-local CRUD/reconciliation for approved payment sessions plus correlation checks against canonical `payment-vm_{vendingMachineId}-txn_{machineTxnId}` references.
- Payments admin session routes now read Prisma error helpers from `lib/prisma-errors.ts` instead of importing them via `lib/ballbox-store.ts`.
- Network core now has DB-backed admin CRUD for ATC-linked clubs, venues, and vending machines inside Ballbox.
- Prisma `Club.atcSportclubId` now matches live nullable data to prevent admin loader `P2032` crashes on legacy clubs without ATC linkage (`/admin/network`, `/admin/players`, `/admin/sports`, `/admin/tvs`).
- Clubs keep nullable `atcSportclubId` support for legacy/local rows, and repo now ships `db:backfill-atc-clubs` to reconcile local club names with ATC summary data when ids exist.
- Network club list/detail/admin query shaping has started moving out of `lib/ballbox-store.ts` into a dedicated backend module.
- Network club create/update/delete helpers have now also started moving out of `lib/ballbox-store.ts` into a dedicated backend module.
- Network venue mutation/delete helpers have also started moving out of `lib/ballbox-store.ts` into dedicated backend modules.

**Creating actionable checklist**

I need to provide a concise answer with a clear checklist of actions. It might be useful to pause and check what others have completed. Updating task statuses could help too. Maybe I should mark #8 as in progress, but I'm not sure if that's necessary. I need the correct URL and possibly to query the dev run documentation. It seems I should answer, "What should I do?" as a tester by opening /admin/payments, generating a QR scan, and verifying the webhook session. There are prerequisites to consider.


import { getMercadoPagoConfig } from "@/lib/payments-mercadopago";
import { getPublicAppUrl } from "@/lib/public-url";
import { paymentsJsonResponse } from "@/lib/http/payments-route-helpers";

export async function GET() {
  const publicAppUrl = getPublicAppUrl();
  const mercadoPago = getMercadoPagoConfig();

  return paymentsJsonResponse({
    ok: true,

**Considering health endpoint check**

I need to think about mentioning a health endpoint check. It’s an important aspect that can help ensure everything is functioning properly. I'll craft something clear and informative to convey this. It's all about making sure that whatever system or application we're using is healthy and running at its best. I'll focus on how this contributes to overall efficiency and reliability in any process. Let's get started on that!


Updated #8 (pending → in_progress)

Re-focus on Ballbox QR testing


Sí. Pausamos backlog. Reencare: QR testing en Ballbox.

Qué tenés que hacer:

1. Verificar config
- abrir:
  - `/api/integrations/payments/health`
- confirmar:
  - `accessTokenConfigured = true`
  - `webhookSecretConfigured = true`
  - `externalPosIdConfigured = true`
  - `recommendedMercadoPagoWebhookUrl` correcto

2. Verificar webhook público en Mercado Pago
- debe apuntar a:
  - `https://<ballbox>/notification/mercadopago`
- no usar callback viejo
- el flujo actual depende del webhook nativo

3. Entrar al harness de prueba
- abrir:
  - `/admin/payments`
- loguearte
- usar el generador de QR

4. Hacer prueba real
- generar un QR
  - mejor monto chico
- escanearlo con una cuenta compradora real de Mercado Pago
- pagar

5. Verificar resultado en Ballbox
- seguir en `/admin/payments`
- confirmar que apareció la sesión aprobada
- revisar que correlacione con:
  - `orderId`
  - `externalReference`
  - vending machine elegida

6. Si falla
decime cuál de estas falló:
- no crea QR
- crea QR pero no se puede pagar
- se paga pero no entra webhook
- entra webhook pero no persiste sesión
- persiste sesión con datos mal mapeados

Orden exacto recomendado:
1. health
2. webhook config
3. create QR
4. pay
5. verify session persisted

Si querés hacerlo ya, mandame:
- URL pública actual de Ballbox
- si `/admin/payments` ya abre
- y te digo el checklist mínimo en tiempo real, paso por paso.

**Assessing steps for debugging**

I need to respond directly and possibly keep my questions minimal. Debugging might involve inspecting webhook logs and checking the admin interface. I could suggest running some checks, but since the user is asking for guidance, I should focus on what to do. Inspecting the current app and logs could help identify known issues. I should consider a quick diagnostic with the repository environment and logs as well, but nothing should be irreversible.

docs/coaches-discovery-stage.md:11:- Host app, admin shell, network core, TVs runtime/admin, and payments callback persistence are already implemented and should stay documented as implemented state, not future plans.
docs/ballbox-db-plan.md:5:- No more memory-backed or file-backed persistence work for TVs.
docs/ballbox-db-plan.md:55:4. Payments now persist canonical `vendingMachineId` and `productId` foreign keys.
docs/ballbox-db-plan.md:57:6. No `machineId`, `deviceId`, or `PaymentSessionRef` persistence aliases exist in the current Ballbox Postgres schema.
docs/ballbox-db-plan.md:61:- Do not add temporary persistence layers in Ballbox.
docs/implemented-sports.md:26:- Ballbox persists `Coach`, `OpenMatch`, and `Class` in Prisma/Postgres.
docs/implemented-sports.md:33:- Ballbox now also persists `CoachStudentBooking` rows so a coach or club can block a real date/time with an existing `Player`, optionally assign a court, and keep lightweight follow-up tied to that student.
docs/implemented-sports.md:35:- Ballbox persists `CoachAvailability` weekly ranges (day-of-week + time range + timezone).
docs/implemented-sports.md:40:- `VenueCourt` persists the per-court setup for covered/open courts plus whether coaches can teach on that court.
docs/implemented-sports.md:41:- Ballbox now also persists `ClassOffer` and `ClassRequest` locally.
docs/implemented-sports.md:45:- ATC public-read does not expose a stable slot id today, so Ballbox persists a slot snapshot (`start`, duration, price, club id, court id) and revalidates that snapshot against ATC again when the request is submitted.

docs/implemented-payments.md:22:- Ballbox persists approved payment records as `PaymentSession` rows in Ballbox Postgres.
docs/implemented-payments.md:23:- Native MercadoPago webhook intake fetches the upstream order, maps approved orders into the canonical Ballbox payment shape, and persists them locally.
docs/implemented-payments.md:31:- Ballbox native MercadoPago webhook path is `/notification/mercadopago`.
docs/implemented-payments.md:36:- QR webhook persistence now depends on the upstream order fetch plus canonical-reference mapping; merchant-order topic events are ignored.
docs/implemented-payments.md:38:- Native payment correlation requires canonical `externalReference` values shaped as `payment-vm_{vendingMachineId}-txn_{machineTxnId}`.
docs/implemented-payments.md:42:- Host app now owns the native MercadoPago order creation + webhook persistence path inside Ballbox.
docs/implemented-payments.md:43:- Remaining gap is operational/manual: one real public webhook + one real approved payment persisted and visible in `/admin/payments`.
docs/implemented-payments.md:47:- The webhook route is fetch-first: the webhook is just the trigger, and Ballbox verifies the order state by fetching Mercado Pago before persisting.
docs/implemented-payments.md:49:- Recent replay validation against two older live `ORD...` ids returned `MERCADOPAGO_ORDER_NOT_APPROVED_expired`; see `docs/mercadopago-webhook-replay-notes-2026-04-23.md` when resuming webhook persistence checks.

docs/domain-model-target.md:106:- `PaymentSession`, `Assignment`, `VendingMachine`, and `TvDevice` are the canonical persisted names.
docs/implemented-host-app.md:22:- Ballbox owns native MercadoPago QR order creation at `/api/integrations/payments/orders` and native webhook intake at `/notification/mercadopago`.
docs/implemented-host-app.md:23:- Native payment persistence validates canonical `payment-vm_{vendingMachineId}-txn_{machineTxnId}` references before writing local approved sessions.
docs/implemented-host-app.md:28:- Ballbox owns internal venues/screens/campaigns data and persists TVs in Ballbox Postgres; clubs are ATC-sourced and stored as `atcSportclubId` links only.
