PayProbe v0.1.0 — Simulated-provider preview

PayProbe 0.1.0 is a preview of the completed local workflow using a deterministic simulated payment provider. DeepSeek assists with reviewed test planning and evidence-grounded explanations; deterministic code assigns verdicts.

Included:

• Four lifecycle checks: approval without delivery, matching capture and delivery, repeated processing, and lost-response reconciliation.
• Persisted reviewed plans, runs and evidence; resume, text/JSON reports, and a keyboard-driven terminal ledger.
• A browser workflow with explicit simulated approvals, evidence inspection and exports.
• Source package, setup instructions, checksums, and tested Docker/Compose templates with persistent SQLite storage.

The ZIP is a selected source package, not a prebuilt executable. Requires Node 24.14+ within the 24.x line and npm. Extract, run npm ci and npm run build, then use the included setup instructions. Keep your DeepSeek key in the private .env.local; no PayPal credentials are needed for this preview.

Validation includes real DeepSeek planner/explainer calls, deterministic seeded-fault detection, process restart/recovery, redaction, amount/currency and browser access checks, actual terminal/browser inspection, clean source installation, and Docker persistence across restart. The package manifest records its exact source revision and per-file hashes; a separate SHA256 sidecar verifies the archive.

Payment behavior is simulated; real PayPal integration is deferred. Browser sessions expire when the server restarts, while recorded runs persist in SQLite. Public hosting and hackathon submission are not established by this release. Video production remains on hold at the user's request.
