What it does

Authorize a card payment — reserve the money on the customer’s card without taking it yet.

Authorize a created Payment: the CREATED-ZOMBIE REPAIR lane for an attempt whose applyTender request crashed between the mint and the ACK (the normal path drives this edge inside applyTender). Re-checks the order remainder live (a moved order refuses CONFLICT/OVER_TENDERED), fires the processor authorize POST-commit-style (never inside a transaction), and on the ACK commits the Tender row + the Order rollup stamp + this flip in ONE transaction. A decline refuses PAYMENT/AUTH_DECLINED (retryable — try another instrument) and the ultimate-failure edge lands the payment failed. Requires the unrestricted capability + the record's CURRENT revision.

Careful

An authorization holds the customer’s funds; capture or void it — do not leave it hanging.

Returns

Payment Payment! — A Payment — a PROCESSOR-backed payment (the integrated processing mode), spawned by a card Tender. Aligned to the deposit→recognition model: authorize = the hold = DEPOSIT at tender; capture = RECOGNIZED at delivery — POS carry-out collapses authorize+capture by ARRIVING at delivery in the same request (the settle instant delivers), never by skipping states. Record-first/processor-after: minted created BEFORE any processor call; the StripePort attempt fires post-commit; state flips ride the ACK/webhook path; 32 attempts bound each order (the Order.paymentIds cap). PCI-min: the PAN never touches AT/stack — the record holds the opaque tokenized methodRef + processor refs + at most brand/last4. The StripePort is FAKED at 7.7a (deterministic, keyless); the live adapter + webhook ingress are 7.7b.
