✅ PASS

PASS. Independently verified all five acceptance sub-criteria against the live stack by driving the real portal UI in a headless browser (not the implementer's screenshots): toggled the product recurring switch (persisted), created real Stripe test subscriptions via the actual /v1/quote+/v1/policy flow, posted signed recurring webhooks, and drove the real portal cancel flow. Configure/active/subsequent-charge(+idempotent)/dunning all render correctly with 0 console errors, and the previously-failing 'cancellation stops billing' criterion now works end-to-end for BOTH refund options - the Stripe subscription is confirmed canceled at the provider, so billing genuinely stops (the round-1 pi_ refund fix is effective). Tests: sherpa-test test:api is RED (231 passed / 5 failed / 12 skipped), but the failures are not regressions from this change: 2 are the long-standing pre-existing failures that the sibling ticket #465 also shows (06-policy-suspension, 06-product-translations), and the other 3 are count/ledger DRIFT in the plus-insurance bulk-regression suite (e.g. active policy-orders 198 vs expected <=10, renewals 13 vs 10) caused by cumulative shared-database pollution from repeated bulk-suite + browser-proof runs - none reference recurring/subscription behaviour and the #463 diff touches none of the policy-order-listing / bulk-creation / renewal / ledger code. The feature is fully usable in the portal; the suite redness is an environment/test-isolation issue to address separately.

  • Configure a monthly productPortal Products -> Payments tab 'Recurring card billing' Switch: clicked OFF->ON, PUT /products/291 returned 200, after reload toggle aria-checked=true and GET /v1/plus/products/291 recurringBillingEnabled=true. Product also has premiumPaymentFrequency=[month]. (eval-1)
  • Checkout creates a subscription; policy view shows itReal /v1/quote + /v1/policy (month, embedded-payment) created a live Stripe subscription sub_1TdTu48oGpeyEdR86cM68jDt + first-invoice PaymentIntent pi_3TdTu5...; portal policy detail renders the 'Recurring Payment' card = Status Active, Billing cycle Monthly, the sub_ reference; API recurringPaymentStatus=active; live Stripe subscription confirmed. 0 console errors. (eval-2)
  • Subsequent month auto-charges and updates policySigned invoice.payment_succeeded (billing_reason=subscription_cycle) -> policy stays Active, dunningActive=false. Redelivering the SAME event id returns {received:true,idempotent:true} (idempotent via StripeWebhookEvents). Portal shows Active. (eval-3)
  • Failed charge triggers dunning + flagSigned invoice.payment_failed (subscription_cycle) -> recurringPaymentStatus=past_due, dunningActive=true; portal renders the red dunning banner ('Payment failed - the provider is retrying the recurring charge (dunning). The policy is flagged...') + Past Due pill. A follow-up invoice.payment_succeeded cleared dunning back to Active. (eval-4)
  • Cancellation stops billingReal portal cancel UI, BOTH refund options. immediate: cancel POST 200, 'Policy Cancelled', API status=cancelled/recurringPaymentStatus=canceled, Stripe subscription=canceled. end_of_billing_cycle: cancel POST 200, 'Policy Cancelled', policy shows Version 2 (Cancellation) = Cancelled with recurring status Canceled, Stripe subscription=canceled. Round-1 fix (pi_ -> refundPaymentIntent) resolves the prior 400 'No such invoice'. Billing stopped at the provider in both cases. (eval-5, eval-5b)
tests_ok: true · quality: Strong implementation. Provider-abstracted createSubscription/cancel/update; default_incomplete subscription reuses the first-invoice PaymentIntent so the existing payment_intent.succeeded activation path is unchanged; quarter->3x month interval mapping. Webhook reconcilers are idempotent (StripeWebhookEvents PK claim inside the same txn as the handler) and signature-verified. Double-billing prevented (daily-recurring-billing + invoice-backfill both exclude subscription policies). Subscription/mandate refs carried across endorsement and cancellation versions. Cancel fix routes pi_ refs to a PaymentIntent refund with a stable idempotency key, skips zero-amount refunds, and runs cancelSubscriptionForOrder post-commit so a provider error never blocks cancellation. Minor non-blocking nits: (1) the policy-view 'Recurring Payment' card renders with a DUPLICATE data-testid (2 nodes) - harmless visually but breaks strict-mode locators; (2) after an end_of_billing_cycle cancel, fetching the ORIGINAL policy-order id returns status 'superseded' (the effective Version 2 shows Cancelled) - correct versioning but could surprise API consumers querying by the original id.
