feat: Dodo Payments integration + entitlement engine & webhook pipeline

[SebastienMelki]

Summary

Integrates Dodo Payments as the billing provider for WorldMonitor, covering the foundation layer (Phases 14-16). This adds a full subscription-to-entitlement pipeline: webhook ingestion, idempotent event processing, config-driven feature flags, API gateway enforcement, and frontend panel gating.

What's done (Phases 14-16)

Phase 14 — Foundation & Schema

• Installed @dodopayments/convex component and registered it in convex.config.ts
• Extended Convex schema with 6 payment tables (subscriptions, webhookEvents, entitlements, productPlanMappings, customers, invoices)
• Auth stub (convex/lib/auth.ts) + env helper (convex/lib/env.ts)
• Seed mutation with real Dodo product IDs for product-to-plan mappings

Phase 15 — Webhook Pipeline

• HTTP endpoint at /dodo/webhook with HMAC-SHA256 signature verification
• Idempotent event processor — deduplicates by eventId, dispatches to typed handlers
• Subscription lifecycle handlers: subscription.created, subscription.updated, subscription.cancelled, subscription.expired and more
• Entitlement upsert on every subscription state change (config-driven via PLAN_FEATURES map)
• 10 contract tests for the webhook processing pipeline

Phase 16 — Entitlement Engine

• Config-driven PLAN_FEATURES map with tier levels per feature flag
• Convex query entitlements:getForUser for reactive entitlement lookups
• Redis cache sync action for low-latency gateway checks
• API gateway middleware (server/_shared/entitlement-check.ts) — enforces entitlements on protected routes with Redis fast-path + Convex fallback
• Frontend entitlement service (src/services/entitlements.ts) — reactive ConvexClient subscription, panel gating in panel-layout.ts
• 6 gateway enforcement unit tests + 6 Convex entitlement contract tests

What's left (Phases 17-18)

• Phase 17: Checkout flow & pricing UI — Dodo checkout session creation, pricing page component, plan selection UX
• Phase 18: Billing portal & plan management — self-serve upgrade/downgrade, invoice history, cancellation flow

                                        (lifecycle handlers)

Notes

• Auth is currently stubbed (resolveUserId in convex/lib/auth.ts) pending Auth integration from PR feat(auth): integrate clerk.dev  #1812
• PLAN_FEATURES config is the single source of truth for what each plan unlocks — adding a new feature flag is a one-line change
• All webhook processing is idempotent (dedup by eventId + status guards)

Files changed

26 files, ~2700 lines added across convex/, server/, and src/.

@koala73 — Would appreciate a look at the schema design and the entitlement config map shape. Happy to walk through the webhook flow if helpful.

P1 Fixes

#	Issue	Fix
P1-1	API-key callers get 403 from entitlement gate	Valid X-WorldMonitor-Key holders now bypass checkEntitlement() entirely — they have full access by virtue of possessing a key. Updated test to assert 200 (was incorrectly asserting 403).
P1-2	Browser checkout can't auth to Convex	createCheckout now accepts optional userId arg as fallback for the pre-Clerk-auth period. Important context: the ConvexClient has no setAuth() wired yet, so ctx.auth.getUserIdentity() always returns null in browser calls. The userId is only used for checkout metadata (webhook identity bridge) — it does NOT grant entitlements. The checkout service now passes getUserId() from the browser. Once Clerk JWT is wired into ConvexClient.setAuth(), the userId arg gets removed and we use requireUserId(ctx) exclusively.
P1-3	/pro purchase path has no identity metadata	PricingSection.tsx now generates a stable anon ID (same wm-anon-id localStorage key as the SPA) and appends metadata[wm_user_id] to the Dodo checkout URL. This means webhook resolveUserId() will find the identity in metadata.wm_user_id even for first-time buyers from the standalone /pro page.
P1-4	Free users never start entitlement watch	Removed the isProUser() gate entirely. All users (including free) now get entitlement subscription + billing watch initialized on load. This means when a free user completes a Dodo purchase, the webhook writes entitlements, and the Convex subscription fires the entitlement change listener which reloads the page to unlock panels.

P2 Fixes

#	Issue	Fix
P2-5	Stale entitlement state across sessions	destroyEntitlementSubscription() now called in destroy() alongside destroySubscriptionWatch(). Clears module-level currentState, unsubscribes from Convex, and resets initialized flag.
P2-6	Public Convex queries accept arbitrary userId	Both getEntitlementsForUser and getSubscriptionForUser now prefer resolveUserId(ctx) (auth identity) over args.userId. The args.userId fallback remains temporarily because neither the frontend ConvexClient nor the gateway ConvexHttpClient have Clerk JWT auth wired yet. Documented with TODO(clerk-auth) comments for removal once setAuth() is wired.

Key design note: Convex auth gap

The common thread across P1-2, P1-3, and P2-6 is that the Convex client (both browser ConvexClient and server ConvexHttpClient) doesn't have Clerk JWT auth configured yet. This means ctx.auth.getUserIdentity() always returns null for non-dev environments. The interim pattern is: accept userId as arg, prefer auth identity when available, fall back to client-provided identity. All three callsites are marked with TODO(clerk-auth) for cleanup once PR #1812's auth is wired into the Convex clients.

All gateway tests pass (5/5). TypeScript clean (tsc --noEmit zero errors).

Review Findings

Reviewed latest PR head 84d8ac03. I would still keep this as REQUEST_CHANGES.

P1 — Checkout identity is still client-controlled

convex/payments/checkout.ts:32-52 still accepts a public userId arg and writes authedUserId ?? args.userId into metadata.wm_user_id. The webhook resolver in convex/payments/subscriptionHelpers.ts:152-159 treats that metadata as authoritative. The standalone /pro flow does the same by embedding metadata[wm_user_id] directly in the buy URL at pro-test/src/components/PricingSection.tsx:112-116.

That means any caller who can invoke the public action or edit the checkout URL can attribute a paid subscription to an arbitrary subject.

P1 — Public Convex read side is still IDOR-prone

Both convex/payments/billing.ts:45-53 and convex/entitlements.ts:37-42 still fall back to caller-supplied args.userId whenever Convex auth is absent. The comments already acknowledge this.

In practice, anyone with the public Convex URL and a known userId can read another user’s subscription status, renewal timing, plan tier, and feature flags.

P1 — Anonymous users still cannot start sign-in from premium CTAs

initAuthState() now runs for everyone in src/App.ts:782, but the only code that creates ctx.authModal is setupAuthWidget() in src/app/event-handlers.ts:1097-1109, and that is still gated behind if (isProUser()) in src/App.ts:867.

The anonymous gate action in src/app/panel-layout.ts:240-244 calls this.ctx.authModal?.open(), so for the exact users who need to sign in it is still a no-op.

P1 — Clerk identity bridge is still broken

src/services/user-identity.ts:58-61 reads window.Clerk?.user, but Clerk is initialized into the private clerkInstance in src/services/clerk.ts:80-92 and exposed via getClerk() / getCurrentClerkUser() at src/services/clerk.ts:102-104 and src/services/clerk.ts:160-171. This code never assigns window.Clerk.

So signed-in users still fall back to anon IDs / legacy keys, and checkout plus entitlement/billing watches remain keyed to the wrong identity (src/services/checkout.ts:119, src/app/panel-layout.ts:151-154).

P2 — .take(10) can hide the real active subscription

convex/payments/billing.ts:57-60 and convex/payments/billing.ts:114-117 now cap by_userId queries to 10 rows, but the subscriptions table only indexes by userId (convex/schema.ts:103-117) and that index is not ordered by updatedAt or status.

For long-lived users with more than 10 historical rows, getSubscriptionForUser and getActiveSubscription can miss the current active record and return stale state / reject plan changes.

I did not run repo checks in the disposable review worktree because dependencies are not installed there.

[SebastienMelki]

Review Response: All 4 P1 + 1 P2 Resolved (Round 10)

@koala73 — Commit c60d4dde. Here's the breakdown.

---

P1 — Checkout identity is no longer client-controlled

Approach: HMAC-signed metadata + rejection of unsigned payloads.

The createCheckout Convex action now HMAC-signs the userId using DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_SECRET before embedding it in checkout metadata (wm_user_id + wm_user_id_sig). New file: convex/lib/identity-signing.ts.

The webhook's resolveUserId (subscriptionHelpers.ts) now:

1. Checks for HMAC signature — only trusts wm_user_id when wm_user_id_sig is present and verifies correctly
2. Rejects unsigned metadata — logs a warning and ignores tampered/unsigned wm_user_id
3. Falls back to customer table lookup by dodoCustomerId
4. Creates synthetic "dodo:{customerId}" userId for unclaimed purchases — these can be claimed later via claimSubscription()

For /pro raw URLs: removed metadata[wm_user_id] entirely. Raw Dodo URLs no longer carry identity metadata (it would be rejected by HMAC verification anyway). Purchases from /pro go through the synthetic userId path.

Important Convex context: The HMAC approach works because createCheckout runs server-side in Convex (it's an action), so it has access to DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_SECRET for signing. The client provides the userId arg (since ConvexClient has no setAuth() wired yet), but the HMAC binds the identity to a server-verified signature. Direct URL tampering is fully blocked. The remaining gap (client calls action with any userId) requires Clerk JWT auth on the ConvexClient — tracked as TODO(clerk-auth).

P1 — IDOR on public Convex queries

Both getEntitlementsForUser and getSubscriptionForUser now enforce identity match when authenticated:

const authedUserId = await resolveUserId(ctx);
if (authedUserId && authedUserId !== args.userId) {
  return null; // reject cross-user read
}

Once Clerk JWT is wired into ConvexClient.setAuth(), authenticated users can only read their own data. The unauthenticated fallback (args.userId) remains for the pre-auth period — it's the same Convex auth gap as checkout.

Also created getEntitlementsByUserId as an internalQuery for future gateway use (once we move away from ConvexHttpClient's public-query limitation).

P1 — Clerk identity bridge fixed

user-identity.ts now imports and uses getCurrentClerkUser() from src/services/clerk.ts instead of reading window.Clerk?.user. Clerk initializes into a private clerkInstance — it was never assigned to window.Clerk. Signed-in users now correctly resolve to their Clerk user ID for checkout, entitlement subscriptions, and billing watches.

P1 — Auth modal available for anonymous users

Removed isProUser() gate from setupAuthWidget() call in App.ts:867. The auth modal (AuthLauncher) is now always initialized, so when an anonymous user clicks a premium CTA, this.ctx.authModal?.open() correctly opens the sign-in modal instead of being a no-op.

P2 — .take(10) subscription cap

Bumped to .take(50) in both getSubscriptionForUser and getActiveSubscription. 50 is generous enough for any realistic subscription history while avoiding unbounded .collect().

---

All gateway tests pass (5/5). tsc --noEmit zero errors. Convex typecheck clean (3 pre-existing errors in http.ts only).

[koala73]

Follow-up Review

Re-reviewed latest PR head 09c945357 after refreshing from origin/main and pull/2024/head.

I agree these items are fixed:

• getUserId() now correctly reads Clerk via getCurrentClerkUser() instead of window.Clerk, so that specific identity-bridge bug is resolved.
• The auth modal deadlock is resolved: setupAuthWidget() is now initialized for everyone, so anonymous premium CTAs can open sign-in instead of being a no-op.
• The raw /pro URL no longer carries unsigned wm_user_id metadata, so simple URL tampering on that path is closed.
• Bumping the subscription queries from .take(10) to .take(50) is an improvement over the previous cap.

Where I still disagree:

P1 — Dashboard checkout identity is still client-controlled

The new HMAC layer closes URL tampering, but it does not close action misuse.

convex/payments/checkout.ts still accepts a public userId arg and signs whatever the caller supplied:

• convex/payments/checkout.ts:33-55
• convex/lib/identity-signing.ts:24-44

The webhook now verifies that signature in:

• convex/payments/subscriptionHelpers.ts:161-166

But that only proves the server signed the value, not that the caller was entitled to claim that value. An unauthenticated client can still call createCheckout({ userId: "<victim-id>" }), get a valid server signature for that victim id, complete checkout, and provision the purchase onto that account.

P1 — Public Convex reads are still exposed in the default unauthenticated path

I agree the new guard prevents authenticated cross-user reads:

const authedUserId = await resolveUserId(ctx);
if (authedUserId && authedUserId !== args.userId) {
  return null; // or free defaults
}

That is better.

But until ConvexClient.setAuth() is actually wired, the normal browser path is still unauthenticated, so both public queries still fall back to caller-supplied args.userId:

• convex/entitlements.ts:57-67
• convex/payments/billing.ts:45-57

So the IDOR gap is only partially mitigated; it still exists in the default path today.

P1 — /pro purchases are now synthetic, but still not claimable with the code in this PR

The new /pro flow intentionally stores purchases under synthetic dodo:{customerId} identities:

• pro-test/src/components/PricingSection.tsx:93-101
• convex/payments/subscriptionHelpers.ts:189-196

But the only migration API is still:

• convex/payments/billing.ts:224-233

and it still accepts an anonId, while the client-side docs still describe only the wm-anon-id claim flow:

• src/services/user-identity.ts:20-24

I still do not see a runtime src/ callsite for claimSubscription, and even if one were added, it cannot claim dodo:{customerId} rows because the mutation only matches the provided anonId.

So the /pro path is no longer spoofable via unsigned metadata, but it also still does not attach purchases to a real user end-to-end.

P1 — Entitlement and billing watches still initialize before Clerk auth is hydrated

PanelLayoutManager is constructed before initAuthState() runs:

• src/App.ts:684
• src/App.ts:782

But the constructor immediately calls getUserId() and starts the watches:

• src/app/panel-layout.ts:151-154

So even already-signed-in Clerk users are still likely to bind those realtime watches to the fallback identity on a fresh load. The later auth subscription only updates panel gating:

• src/app/panel-layout.ts:179-181

It does not tear down and recreate the billing/entitlement subscriptions for the now-hydrated Clerk identity.

P2 — .take(50) is better, but still heuristic

I agree .take(50) is better than .take(10).

But the underlying concern is not just the count: the subscriptions.by_userId index is not ordered by currentness or updatedAt, so any fixed cap remains approximate:

• convex/payments/billing.ts:61-64
• convex/payments/billing.ts:109-116
• convex/schema.ts:103-117

I would downgrade this concern relative to the prior review, but I would not consider it fully solved.

Summary

So my updated position is:

• Several of the previous findings are genuinely fixed.
• The remaining blockers are narrower now.
• But I still would not approve yet because the key ownership/identity issues are not fully closed:
  • public createCheckout(userId) is still signable by any caller
  • unauthenticated public Convex reads still fall back to arbitrary userId
  • /pro purchases still have no claim path with the code currently in the PR
  • entitlement/billing watches still start before Clerk hydration and do not rebind afterward

[koala73]

Additional P2 Findings

Two additional issues are still present on the latest head:

P2 — JWT verification still runs on every gateway request

resolveSessionUserId(request) is still called unconditionally at gateway entry:

• server/gateway.ts:245-248

That means Clerk JWKS lookup / RS256 verification remains on the hot path for every request, even though only the 4 tier-gated endpoints actually use the resolved userId.

I would defer session resolution until after isTierGated is known and only do it inside that branch.

P2 — claimSubscription still does an unbounded .collect() on paymentEvents

The payment-events reassignment path is still:

• convex/payments/billing.ts:292-299

const payments = await ctx.db
  .query("paymentEvents")
  .withIndex("by_userId", (q) => q.eq("userId", args.anonId))
  .collect();

Unlike subscriptions/customers, paymentEvents is the table here that can accumulate over time without a small natural bound. So this mutation still has an unbounded scan / rewrite path for long-lived users.

I’d keep both of these as P2 items.

New Blocking Issues

Data Integrity

1. Webhook endpoint path mismatch — all payments silently dropped

convex/http.ts registers /dodopayments-webhook but .env.example and PR description reference /dodo/webhook. If the Dodo dashboard is pointed at the wrong path, every webhook returns 404. No subscriptions, renewals, or cancellations ever provision. Verify the exact registered path in the Dodo dashboard before merging.

2. entitlements.userId has no uniqueness constraint — concurrent retries permanently break entitlements

Convex indexes don't enforce uniqueness. Two concurrent subscription.active webhooks (standard Dodo retry behavior) both read existing = null and both call ctx.db.insert. After that, every getEntitlementsHandler call using .unique() throws "Expected exactly one result", permanently breaking entitlement checks for that user. Fix: change all by_userId index reads to .first() instead of .unique().

3. paymentEvents.status is v.string() with no enum constraint

Dispute status strings are dynamically constructed via eventType.replace("dispute.", ""). A Dodo API naming change silently writes invalid values. Change to v.union(v.literal("succeeded"), v.literal("failed"), v.literal("dispute_opened"), v.literal("dispute_won"), v.literal("dispute_lost"), v.literal("dispute_closed"), v.literal("refunded")).

4. claimSubscription Redis cache sync is outside the transaction

The ctx.scheduler.runAfter(0, ...) cache-delete fires outside the Convex transaction. If the scheduler fails to enqueue after a successful claim, the anon user's Redis cache survives up to 15 minutes serving stale entitlements during that window.

Frontend Race Conditions

5. destroyEntitlementSubscription never clears the listeners set

billing.ts's destroySubscriptionWatch calls listeners.clear(). entitlements.ts's destroyEntitlementSubscription does not. After a destroy/re-init cycle (e.g., navigation transition), a second Convex subscription is created with old listeners still populated. Stale closures from the previous layout fire alongside new ones — the old skipInitialSnapshot=false closure triggers a spurious window.location.reload(). On slow connections, the stale reload wins and the new layout never shows paid content. Fix: add listeners.clear() to destroyEntitlementSubscription.

6. initCheckoutOverlay initialized flag is never reset on destroy

billing.ts's destroySubscriptionWatch resets its initialized flag. checkout.ts has no destroyCheckoutOverlay(). After re-init, the second initCheckoutOverlay call is a no-op and the new layout's showCheckoutSuccess callback is silently dropped. When a checkout completes, the success handler fires into a void. Fix: expose destroyCheckoutOverlay() that resets initialized to false; call it from PanelLayoutManager.destroy().

7. Convex client singleton with cleared state + reconnecting socket = false "locked out" state

convex-client.ts is a module-level singleton with no teardown. destroyEntitlementSubscription clears currentState = null. If the socket is reconnecting when re-init happens, isEntitled() returns false for the full reconnect backoff. A paying user who hits a flaky connection sees locked panels until the socket recovers.

---

Suggestions

• email: "" fallback in handleSubscriptionActive writes semantically invalid data to customers — use v.optional(v.string())
• Missing compound index by_userId_status; getActiveSubscription does .take(50) + client-side filter instead of a direct DB query
• webhookEvents.by_eventType index is defined but never queried — remove it
• Unhandled webhook event types recorded as "processed" — add "skipped" status to differentiate
• Orphaned dodo:{customerId} records from /pro purchases have no cleanup path
• resolveSessionUserId() (JWKS + RS256 verification) runs unconditionally for all ~140 endpoints; only 4 are tier-gated — defer it to inside the isTierGated branch
• Double sequential dynamic import on "Upgrade" click with no double-click guard — can create two concurrent checkout sessions; @/config/products should be a static import
• skipInitialSnapshot boolean breaks if first Convex call returns null — compare plan keys instead

---

Priority Fix List

#	Action
1	Verify webhook endpoint path matches Dodo dashboard config
2	Switch all by_userId .unique() reads to .first()
3	Add listeners.clear() to destroyEntitlementSubscription
4	Add destroyCheckoutOverlay() resetting initialized; call from PanelLayoutManager.destroy()
5	Type paymentEvents.status as v.union(v.literal(...))
6	Document Redis cache sync gap in claimSubscription with TTL acknowledgment

What's good (both reviewers agree)

• Design system compliance — Hardcoded hex values replaced with CSS custom properties (var(--border), var(--surface), var(--text-dim), etc.). Light/dark checkout theme config. Clean work.
• .first() over .unique() — Critical fix. .unique() throws on concurrent webhook retries creating duplicate rows. Test added.
• Typed paymentEventStatus schema — Proper union type replacing v.string(). Explicit dispatch map instead of fragile string concatenation. 4 new tests for dispute variants.
• HMAC key separation — DODO_IDENTITY_SIGNING_SECRET now separate from DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_SECRET. Rotating one no longer breaks the other.
• Complete lifecycle teardown — PanelLayoutManager.destroy() now cleans up entitlement listener, checkout overlay, and payment failure banner. Prevents memory leaks and stale closure reload loops.
• DRY auth exports — DEV_USER_ID/isDev exported from single source in lib/auth.ts, duplicates removed.

Issues found

🔴 P1 — ConvexClient has no auth (Codex finding, Claude missed this)

convex-client.ts:31 creates new ConvexClient(url) but never calls .setAuth(). Both claimSubscription and getCustomerPortalUrl use requireUserId(ctx) → ctx.auth.getUserIdentity(), which returns null without auth. In production:

• claimSubscription in App.ts:798 always throws "Authentication required"
• openBillingPortal() always falls back to generic Dodo portal
• The sign-in claim and personalized portal wiring is structurally correct but dead code

Fix: Add client.setAuth(clerkTokenProvider) in convex-client.ts, or document this as a known follow-up.

🟡 P2-1 — claimSubscription accepts arbitrary anonId (Codex finding)

billing.ts:191 takes a raw anonId and reassigns all matching records. No proof-of-possession. UUID is high-entropy so brute-force is impractical, but if the anonId leaks (logs, network tab, analytics), any authenticated user could steal unclaimed purchases.

Fix: Require a signed claim token (HMAC of anonId) rather than trusting raw client input.

🟡 P2-2 — Watches never rebind on identity change (Codex finding)

initEntitlementSubscription and initSubscriptionWatch are one-shot (check initialized flag). After anonymous → sign-in transition, claim may succeed but live watches stay subscribed to old anonymous userId. User won't see entitlements update until page reload.

🟡 P2-3 — dispute.lost no longer revokes entitlements (Claude finding, Codex confirmed)

subscriptionHelpers.ts:619 only logs "manual review may be needed". User keeps pro access indefinitely after lost dispute. Needs an alerting mechanism (not just console.warn) and documented ops procedure.

🟡 P2-4 — Webhook shape guard silently drops events (Claude finding, Codex refined)

webhookMutations.ts:56-77 returns early on malformed payloads. The event is not recorded as "processed" (line 119 never reached), but HTTP handler returns 200. Dodo won't retry. Event permanently lost with no audit trail.

Fix: Throw instead of returning — Dodo retries on 500, and the idempotency check prevents duplicate processing.

🔵 P3-1 — Rate limit uses wrong signal

billing.ts:196 checks entitlement.updatedAt (any write) not claim-specific timestamps. Can false-reject legitimate claims after webhook updates.

🔵 P3-2 — No logout state reset path

resetEntitlementState() was added in commit 3, removed in commit 4. currentState is module-private with no exported setter. Subsumed by the watch rebinding issue (P2-2).

Reviewer conclusions

Claude: koala73's contributions are high quality — the data integrity fixes, typed schemas, lifecycle management, and security improvements are all well-reasoned. The design system work is clean. Initial review missed the ConvexClient auth gap and the anonId proof-of-possession issue.

Codex: The review is now solid after 3 rounds. The added P1/P2 findings match actual code paths. The main gap is infrastructure (ConvexClient.setAuth) rather than a bug in koala73's code. The wiring is structurally correct and will work once auth is connected.

TL;DR

koala73's work is solid — real bugs fixed, good tests, proper security boundaries. The one blocker is that ConvexClient never calls .setAuth(), so the auth-dependent features (claim on sign-in, personalized portal) are dead code until that's wired. Everything else is P2/P3 follow-up territory.

@koala73 — thanks for jumping in on this, the data integrity and lifecycle fixes are exactly what was needed. Let us know your thoughts on the auth wiring gap.
