Later captures, refunds and final independent provider reads stay outside this point’s inspector.

A bounded original comparison. Actual PayPal Sandbox resources; response loss was introduced locally after capture. Each distinct order had a separate buyer approval. No real money or physical delivery.

One explicitly approved sandbox comparison, not a statistical reliability benchmark.
Response loss is controlled by the local lab after observing the real upstream response.
The first baseline purchase and its retry received separate actual payer approvals.
An earlier unapproved popup attempt was cancelled with no capture and is retained separately.
No real money or physical fulfillment is claimed.

The hardened reference belongs to this historical comparison. It is separate from subsequent AI-generated candidates and the sealed context study. Opening this archive neither renews its original authority nor executes a scenario.

Faulty checkout. Observation 8 of 20. The app calls uncertainty a failure.
