…paid

Phase 2 of wallet protection. Config drift (phase 1) trusts what BTCPay reports; this checks the invoices that were actually paid, so it holds even when BTCPay lies about its configuration.

  • Bolt11: bech32 + tagged-field parser with ECDSA public-key recovery on secp256k1 (paragonie/ecc, already a dependency). Verified against the BOLT chore(deps): bump dompdf/dompdf from 3.1.4 to 3.1.5 #11 spec vectors and real mainnet invoices.
  • PayeeAttestationService: at every baseline a canary invoice (0.00000100 BTC, 1-minute expiry, metadata satflux_canary, archived right after reading) yields the signing node id -> wallet_connections .payee_pubkeys (source canary); when the canary cannot be read the first settled payment is trusted (first_payment). Every settled Lightning payment - hooked into SettlementLedgerService::syncInvoice, which already fetches the invoice payment methods from the webhook - is decoded and its payee must be on the list. A mismatch sets payee_mismatch_at once (conditional update), audits payee_mismatch and raises the merchant security message + e-mail and the admin alert naming the invoice and node.
  • Admin: incidents list includes payee mismatches with "accept node" (adds to the allow-list, audits payee_accepted) and "relearn node"; merchant card shows the incident; wallet-connections:learn-payees command runs daily for rows still without an allow-list.
  • InvoiceService::forgetInvoiceCache now also drops the payment-methods cache; a webhook-driven resync could otherwise read stale payments.
  • Docs (EN + SK), locales (5), tests: Bolt11Test (spec vectors), PayeeAttestationTest (canary, TOFU, mismatch once, reconnect, admin, command, merchant endpoint).

Summary by CodeRabbit

Phase 2 of wallet protection. Config drift (phase 1) trusts what BTCPay
reports; this checks the invoices that were actually paid, so it holds even
when BTCPay lies about its configuration.

- Bolt11: bech32 + tagged-field parser with ECDSA public-key recovery on
  secp256k1 (paragonie/ecc, already a dependency). Verified against the
  BOLT #11 spec vectors and real mainnet invoices.
- PayeeAttestationService: at every baseline a canary invoice
  (0.00000100 BTC, 1-minute expiry, metadata satflux_canary, archived right
  after reading) yields the signing node id -> wallet_connections
  .payee_pubkeys (source canary); when the canary cannot be read the first
  settled payment is trusted (first_payment). Every settled Lightning
  payment - hooked into SettlementLedgerService::syncInvoice, which already
  fetches the invoice payment methods from the webhook - is decoded and its
  payee must be on the list. A mismatch sets payee_mismatch_at once
  (conditional update), audits payee_mismatch and raises the merchant
  security message + e-mail and the admin alert naming the invoice and node.
- Admin: incidents list includes payee mismatches with "accept node" (adds
  to the allow-list, audits payee_accepted) and "relearn node"; merchant
  card shows the incident; wallet-connections:learn-payees command runs
  daily for rows still without an allow-list.
- InvoiceService::forgetInvoiceCache now also drops the payment-methods
  cache; a webhook-driven resync could otherwise read stale payments.
- Docs (EN + SK), locales (5), tests: Bolt11Test (spec vectors),
  PayeeAttestationTest (canary, TOFU, mismatch once, reconnect, admin,

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds wallet payee attestation for Lightning payments. The change decodes BOLT11 invoices, learns allowed wallet nodes, detects mismatches, sends alerts, provides admin remediation, and exposes merchant warnings.

Changes

Wallet payee attestation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Payee data and BOLT11 decoding
database/migrations/..., app/Models/WalletConnection.php, app/Services/WalletSecurity/Bolt11.php, tests/Unit/Bolt11Test.php
Stores payee state on wallet connections and decodes BOLT11 payee keys with validation and signature recovery.
Learning and settlement attestation
app/Services/WalletSecurity/PayeeAttestationService.php, app/Services/Boltz/..., app/Services/BtcPay/..., app/Services/WalletSecurity/WalletConfigIntegrityService.php, app/Services/WalletSecurity/WalletSecurityNotifier.php, app/Notifications/..., tests/Feature/PayeeAttestationTest.php
Learns payees from canary invoices, checks settled payments, records mismatches, archives canaries, and sends notifications.
Administrative remediation and scheduling
app/Http/Controllers/Admin/..., app/Console/Commands/..., routes/api.php, routes/console.php, resources/js/pages/admin/WalletChanges.vue
Adds incident reporting, accept and relearn actions, scheduled learning, and admin controls.
Merchant exposure and localized presentation
app/Http/Controllers/WalletConnectionController.php, resources/js/components/..., resources/js/services/api.ts, resources/js/locales/*, docs/user/*, tests/Feature/PayeeAttestationTest.php
Exposes mismatch details through the merchant API, renders wallet warnings, and adds translated documentation and interface text.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90+ minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d8c3b

A crafted Lightning invoice can evade the new payee protection, and some BTCPay calls may retain the wrong user credential. These security issues should be fixed before merge.

Inline comments:
In `@app/Services/BtcPay/InvoiceService.php`:
- Around line 27-28: Move the archiveInvoice method below listInvoices or
createInvoice so its docblock is associated with the correct method and no
longer inherits references to nonexistent filters, skip, or take parameters.
- Around line 30-42: Update the invoice deletion flow in InvoiceService to use
BtcPayClient::withUserKey() for the delete request instead of manually changing
and restoring the API key, preserving restoration even when the original key is
empty.

In `@app/Services/WalletSecurity/Bolt11.php`:
- Line 142: Update the pico multiplier in the amount conversion mapping used by
Bolt11 decoding so the p-unit divisor is 10^12 rather than 10^13. Preserve the
existing n-unit conversion and all other denomination mappings.
- Around line 94-99: Update the payee handling in the Bolt11 decoder around
recoverPubKey so a present n field is cryptographically validated against the
invoice signature and hash before being accepted; only recover the key when n is
absent, and reject or flag mismatches so attestBolt11 cannot consume an
unverified payee.

In `@docs/user/en/wallet-security-alerts.md`:
- Line 42: Qualify the unconditional payee-verification guarantee to state that
verification may be unavailable if PayeeAttestationService::attestInvoice fails
while SettlementLedgerService::syncInvoice continues settlement. Update the
corresponding English text at docs/user/en/wallet-security-alerts.md:42 and
Slovak text at docs/user/sk/wallet-security-alerts.md:42; no code change is
required.
- Line 42: Update syncInvoice so failures from
PayeeAttestationService::attestInvoice are retried or cause the flow to fail
closed before syncPaymentMethod records a settled payment; alternatively revise
the documentation to state that attestation failures are logged while settlement
continues.
- Line 44: Update the wallet-security guidance in both
docs/user/en/wallet-security-alerts.md:44-44 and
docs/user/sk/wallet-security-alerts.md:44-44 to state that only an admin can
accept or relearn a node after investigation. Remove the inaccurate support
confirmation workflow and keep the English and Slovak wording consistent.

In `@tests/Unit/Bolt11Test.php`:
- Around line 31-34: Update Bolt11::decode to verify the invoice signature
against the public key supplied by the n tag, rejecting any signer mismatch
before applying the payee allow-list check; preserve existing recovery behavior
when n is absent. Add a test fixture with a valid Bech32 checksum but a
mismatched signer, and assert that decoding rejects it.

- Bolt11: always recover the signer; an explicit `n` field is accepted only
  when it equals the recovered key, otherwise the invoice is rejected (a
  forged `n` can never become the attested payee). Test builds a signed
  invoice with a matching `n` and a forged one.
- Bolt11: pico-BTC divisor is 10^12, not 10^13; verified with the spec's
  "amount in pico-BTC" example (967 878 534 msat).
- InvoiceService::archiveInvoice moved below createInvoice (it had picked
  up an orphaned docblock) and uses BtcPayClient::withUserKey, which also
  restores the server key when the previous key was empty.
- Docs (EN + SK): attestation failures are logged while the payment is
  still recorded; only an administrator can accept or relearn a node.
