+# Publishing to the Gemini CLI Extensions Gallery
+
+This guide explains how this repo is wired for the [Gemini CLI Extensions Gallery](https://geminicli.com/extensions/), and how to refresh / re-tag it for new releases.
+
+## Quick facts about the gallery
+
+The Gemini CLI Extensions Gallery is a **decentralized, GitHub-backed catalog**:
+
+- No `npm publish`-style flow. No PR to a registry repo. No Google review.
+- Discovery is driven by a **single GitHub topic**: `gemini-cli-extension` (singular).
+- The crawler runs **daily**, validates `gemini-extension.json`, and surfaces the repo in the gallery.
+- Each repo lists **one extension** — `gemini-extension.json` must be at the repo root.
+- Listings are ranked by **GitHub stars**.
+
+References:
+- Gallery: https://geminicli.com/extensions/
+- Publishing flow: https://geminicli.com/docs/extensions/releasing/
+- Manifest reference: https://geminicli.com/docs/extensions/reference/
+
+## How this monorepo handles the "one extension per repo" rule
+
+This repo is a monorepo of **15 commerce/agentic plugins**, but the gallery only accepts one manifest per repo. We chose **UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) as the flagship extension** because:
+
+- UCP is the umbrella protocol (Google + Shopify) tying together the other commerce protocols
+- Its skill set covers all four transport bindings (REST, MCP, A2A, Embedded)
+- It pairs well with the other 14 plugins as ecosystem context in the same install
+
+So at the **repo root** you'll find UCP's extension files, copied from `dist/gemini/ucp-agentic-commerce/`:
+
+```
+agentic-commerce-skills-plugins/
+├── gemini-extension.json # UCP manifest — what the gallery indexes
+├── GEMINI.md # UCP agent expertise — auto-loaded on install
+├── hooks.json # UCP's PostToolUse secret-detection hook
+├── skills/ # UCP's 15 skills (ucp-checkout-rest, ucp-mcp, ...)
+└── scripts/
+ └── check_secrets.py # Hook implementation
+```
+
+The other 14 plugins remain **fully installable via path** (see below) and continue to be available for Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / Antigravity / OpenClaw via the standard conversion + install flow.
+
+## Install paths for end users
+
+### 1. UCP (via the gallery)
+
+The flagship extension is discoverable in the gallery:
+
+```bash
+gemini extensions install https://github.com/OrcaQubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins
+```
+
+This installs UCP's manifest + GEMINI.md + 15 UCP skills + secret-detection hook.
+
+### 2. Other plugins (via `--path`)
+
+For ACP, A2A, AP2, WebMCP, NLWeb, Stripe MPP, Magento, Shopify, Saleor, Medusa, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Salesforce Commerce, or Spree:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/OrcaQubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins
+cd agentic-commerce-skills-plugins
+python scripts/convert.py --platform gemini
+
+gemini extensions install --path dist/gemini/spree-commerce
+gemini extensions install --path dist/gemini/acp-agentic-commerce
+# ... etc.
+```
+
+These won't appear in the gallery search results (one repo = one gallery entry) but install and function identically.
+
+## Refreshing the gallery listing
+
+If the UCP plugin's source content changes (new skill, updated agent expertise, schema change):
+
+1. **Update the canonical source** under `ucp-agentic-commerce/`.
+2. **Re-run conversion**:
+ ```bash
+ python scripts/convert.py --platform gemini
+ ```
+3. **Sync the root copies** from `dist/gemini/ucp-agentic-commerce/`:
+ ```bash
+ cp dist/gemini/ucp-agentic-commerce/GEMINI.md ./GEMINI.md
+ cp dist/gemini/ucp-agentic-commerce/hooks.json ./hooks.json
+ cp dist/gemini/ucp-agentic-commerce/scripts/check_secrets.py ./scripts/check_secrets.py
+ rm -rf skills && cp -r dist/gemini/ucp-agentic-commerce/skills ./skills
+ ```
+4. **Bump version** in the root `gemini-extension.json`.
+5. **Commit and push**:
+ ```bash
+ git add gemini-extension.json GEMINI.md hooks.json scripts/check_secrets.py skills/
+ git commit -m "chore(gemini): bump UCP extension to vX.Y.Z"
+ git push
+ ```
+6. **Tag and release** with the matching version:
+ ```bash
+ git tag v1.1.0
+ git push origin v1.1.0
+ gh release create v1.1.0 --title "v1.1.0" --notes "..."
+ ```
+7. **Wait ~24h** — the gallery crawler runs daily and will pick up the new release.
+
+Note: the root manifest's `repository.url` must point at `https://github.com/OrcaQubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins` (NOT `AgenticCommerce/...` which is the default placeholder some converter outputs use). Verify before pushing.
+
+## Initial gallery onboarding (one-time)
+
+Done once for this repo; documented here for reference:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Ensure topic is set
+gh repo edit OrcaQubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins --add-topic gemini-cli-extension
+
+# 2. Push the v1.0.0 tag
+git tag v1.0.0
+git push origin v1.0.0
+
+# 3. Create a GitHub Release whose tag matches the manifest version
+gh release create v1.0.0 --title "v1.0.0 — Agentic commerce skills for Gemini, Claude, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, OpenClaw" --notes-file RELEASE_NOTES.md
+```
+
+The crawler discovers the repo via the topic and indexes daily.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Fix |
+|---------|-----|
+| Repo not appearing in gallery after 48h | Confirm topic is set: `gh repo view OrcaQubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins --json repositoryTopics`. Topic must be `gemini-cli-extension` (singular). |
+| `gemini extensions install` fails with "manifest not found" | The user is on an old commit before the root manifest existed, or they're targeting a tag without the root files. Use `--ref main`. |
+| Hook fires but reports script not found | Confirm `scripts/check_secrets.py` is committed at repo root (not just in `dist/gemini/.../scripts/`). |
+| Gallery shows outdated version | The crawler reads the latest **GitHub Release**, not the latest commit. Tag a new release with the matching `version` field. |
+| Want to remove the listing | Delete the `gemini-cli-extension` topic from the repo; the crawler stops indexing on its next pass. |
+| Manifest validation failed | The reference is at https://geminicli.com/docs/extensions/reference/. Required fields: `name`, `version`, `description`. `name` is lowercase + digits + dashes (no underscores). `version` must match the GitHub release tag. |

+ Implement Spree's checkout — the Order state machine (cart → address →
+ delivery → payment → confirm → complete), the Payment and Shipment sub-state
+ machines, the return flow (ReturnAuthorization → CustomerReturn →
+ Reimbursement → Refund), guest checkout, payment-step skipping for
+ credit-covered orders, and the V3 checkout API surface. Use when building or
+ customizing checkout flows, debugging state transitions, or wiring custom
+ checkout steps.
+---
+
+# Spree Checkout
+
+## Before writing code
+
+**Fetch live docs**:
+1. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/developer/core-concepts/orders for the canonical state machine.
+2. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/developer/core-concepts/payments for the Payment + PaymentSession (v5.4+) flow.
+3. Check the live `Spree::Order` source on GitHub for the `state_machine` block — transitions and callbacks change.
+4. For headless checkout, fetch the v3 Store API docs at https://spreecommerce.org/docs/api-reference.
+5. Verify any custom-step pattern against the latest examples in `spree-starter`.
+
+## Conceptual Architecture
+
+### The Order State Machine
+
+```
+cart → address → delivery → payment → confirm → complete
+ ↓
+ skip if store-credit-covered
+```
+
+Each transition validates prerequisites:
+
+| State | Prerequisites |
+|-------|---------------|
+| `cart` | One or more line items |
+| `address` | Bill + ship address present |
+| `delivery` | Shipping method selected for every shipment |
+| `payment` | At least one payment method valid for the total |
+| `confirm` | Optional review step (configurable) |
+| `complete` | All sub-states valid; transitions trigger fulfillment + emails |
+
+### Payment Sub-State
+
+`Order#payment_state` is a separate field summarizing all `Payment` rows:
+
+| Value | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| `balance_due` | Outstanding amount remains |
+| `paid` | Fully paid |
+| `credit_owed` | Refund pending |
+| `failed` | All payments failed |
+| `void` | Voided |
+
+### Shipment Sub-State
+
+`Order#shipment_state` summarizes all `Shipment` rows:
+
+| Value | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| `pending` | Awaiting payment / stock |
+| `ready` | Ready to ship |
+| `partial` | Some shipped |
+| `shipped` | All shipped |
+| `backorder` | Inventory shortfall |
+| `canceled` | Canceled |
+
+### Individual Shipment / Payment State Machines
+
+- **`Shipment#state`**: `pending → ready → shipped` (+ `canceled`)
+- **`Payment#state`**: `checkout → processing → pending → completed` (+ `failed`, `void`, `invalid`)
+
+### Return Flow
+
+```
+ReturnAuthorization (authorized | canceled)
+ → CustomerReturn
+ → Reimbursement (pending | reimbursed | errored)
+ → Refund (against original Payment)
+```
+
+`StoreCredit` reimbursements skip the Refund step and credit the user's balance.
+
+### Skipping the Payment Step
+
+If `order.outstanding_balance.zero?` after store-credit/gift-card application, the state machine skips `payment` and goes straight to `confirm`. Useful for free-trial / 100%-off scenarios.
+
+### Guest vs Authenticated Checkout
+
+Spree supports guest checkout by default — orders carry an `email` and `order_token` even without a `User`. The token allows a guest to revisit their order. Convert guests to users post-checkout via `Spree::Order#associate_user!`.
+
+### Custom Checkout Steps
+
+Add a custom step by inserting into the state machine via decorator:
+
+```ruby
+# app/models/spree/order_decorator.rb
+module MyApp::OrderDecorator
+ def self.prepended(base)
+ base.state_machine.before_transition to: :delivery, do: :verify_gift_message
+ end
+
+ def verify_gift_message
+ # …
+ end
+
+ Spree::Order.prepend(self)
+end
+```
+
+Custom steps are powerful but **upgrade-fragile** — Spree's state machine evolves. Prefer events or service objects when you only need to react.
+
+### Checkout via API v3 (v5.4+)
+
+Headless checkout typically:
+
+1. `POST /api/v3/store/cart` — create cart (returns `ord_…` ID + cart token)
+2. `POST /api/v3/store/cart/line_items` — add items
+3. `PUT /api/v3/store/checkout` — set addresses, shipping method, payment method
+4. `POST /api/v3/store/checkout/payment_sessions` — create a PaymentSession (Stripe/Adyen/PayPal)
+5. `POST /api/v3/store/checkout/complete` — finalize
+
+(Verify exact paths in the v3 API reference — endpoint shapes are still settling.)
+
+### Payment Sessions (v5.4+)
+
+The v5.4 `PaymentSession` abstracts the payment-provider handshake. The storefront creates a PaymentSession, the user authorizes via the gateway's hosted UI (Stripe Elements, Adyen Drop-in, PayPal Checkout), and the session is captured into a `Payment` on completion. Provider-specific.
+
+## Implementation Guidance
+
+### Reading the Current State
+
+```ruby
+order.state # one of cart/address/delivery/payment/confirm/complete
+order.payment_state # balance_due/paid/...
+order.shipment_state # pending/ready/...
+order.can_transition?(:complete) # check before triggering
+```
+
+### Triggering Transitions Programmatically
+
+```ruby
+order.next! # advance to the next state if valid
+order.complete! # force to complete if valid (typically last step)
+order.cancel! # cancel + revert inventory
+```
+
+Never call `update_attribute(:state, …)` directly — bypasses callbacks and corrupts inventory/payments.
+
+### Subscribing to Checkout Events
+
+```ruby
+class CheckoutSubscriber < Spree::Subscriber
+ subscribes_to 'order.completed'
+ on 'order.completed', :send_welcome_email
+
+ def send_welcome_email(event)
+ return if event.order.user.nil?
+ # …
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Events fire after the database commit — safe to enqueue background jobs.
+
+### Headless Checkout Patterns
+
+- **Always use httpOnly cookies for the cart/order token**, not localStorage.
+- **Confirm the cart server-side before showing the review step** — prices, tax, shipping can change between page loads.
+- **Idempotency-Key headers on `/complete`** — prevent double-charging on retry.
+- **Use Payment Sessions for v5.4+** — they handle 3DS / SCA / Apple Pay / Google Pay uniformly.
+
+### Debugging Stuck Transitions
+
+```ruby
+order.errors.full_messages
+order.valid?(state) # validate for a specific state
+order.checkout_steps # configured step list
+```
+
+### Returns Workflow
+
+```ruby
+ra = Spree::ReturnAuthorization.create!(order: order, return_items: items)
+ra.authorize!
+cr = Spree::CustomerReturn.create!(return_items: ra.return_items, stock_location: location)
+cr.fully_received?
+reimbursement = Spree::Reimbursement.create!(customer_return: cr, order: order)
+reimbursement.perform! # creates Refunds or StoreCredits
+```
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Bypassing the state machine** by setting `state` directly → corrupts inventory and payment totals.
+- **Forgetting to recompute totals** after adjusting line items → use `Spree::OrderUpdater`.
+- **Marking a Payment `completed` manually** → use the gateway's capture flow; manual completion skips reconciliation.
+- **Treating `confirm` as required** — it's configurable (`checkout_steps` order).
+- **Headless checkout drift** — the storefront's local state can diverge from the server's `Order#state`. Re-fetch after every mutating call.
+- **Custom decorator on `state_machine`** — survives minor upgrades poorly; prefer event subscribers when possible.
+
+Always re-verify state names and transition guards against the live `Spree::Order` source for the version you target.

+
+# Spree Headless Next.js Storefront
+
+## Before writing code
+
+**Fetch live docs**:
+1. Fetch https://github.com/spree/storefront (README) for current setup and customization.
+2. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/developer/storefront/nextjs/quickstart for the quickstart.
+3. Fetch the Next.js 16 docs for App Router / Server Actions patterns the storefront uses.
+4. Cross-reference https://github.com/spree/sdk for SDK usage.
+5. Check the v5.4 announcement for the storefront's release context.
+
+## Conceptual Architecture
+
+### The Two Repos
+
+| Repo | Role |
+|------|------|
+| `spree/spree-starter` | Rails backend application |
+| `spree/storefront` | Next.js headless storefront |
+
+The storefront talks to the backend exclusively over API v3 (Store API).
+
+### Tech Stack
+
+| Layer | Tech |
+|-------|------|
+| Framework | Next.js 16 (App Router, Server Actions, Turbopack) |
+| UI runtime | React 19 (Server Components + Client Components) |
+| Styling | Tailwind CSS 4 |
+| Type system | TypeScript 5 |
+| API client | `@spree/sdk` with Zod schemas |
+| Search | MeiliSearch faceted search |
+| Auth | Server-only — httpOnly JWT cookies + publishable key |
+| Payments | Stripe Elements / Apple Pay / Google Pay / Link / Klarna / Affirm / SEPA |
+| Analytics | GA4, JSON-LD, OpenGraph |
+| Error tracking | Sentry |
+| Deploy | Vercel (recommended) or Docker |
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node 20+
+- Spree backend on **5.4+** (API v3 required)
+- A publishable key (`pk_…`) from admin
+
+### Project Layout
+
+```
+storefront/

+│ ├── (storefront)/ # public pages (App Router groups)
+│ │ ├── [region]/[locale]/
+│ │ │ ├── products/
+│ │ │ ├── cart/

+│ └── meilisearch.ts
+├── public/
+├── tailwind.config.ts
+├── next.config.ts
+└── package.json
+```
+
+### Auth: Server-Only by Design
+
+- The **publishable key** (`pk_…`) is the only Spree credential that may reach the browser.
+- **User JWTs** live in **httpOnly cookies** set via Server Actions; never accessible to client JS.
+- The **admin API key** never leaves the server bundle. The storefront should never have it set in env.
+- Cart `order_token` also in httpOnly cookie.
+
+```typescript
+// app/api/auth/sign-in/route.ts (Route Handler)
+import { cookies } from 'next/headers';
+import { spreePublic } from '@/lib/spree.public';
+
+export async function POST(req: Request) {
+ const { email, password } = await req.json();
+ const { access_token, refresh_token, expires_in } = await spreePublic.auth.signIn({ email, password });
+ cookies().set('spree_jwt', access_token, {
+ httpOnly: true,
+ secure: true,
+ sameSite: 'lax',
+ maxAge: expires_in,
+ });
+ cookies().set('spree_refresh', refresh_token, { httpOnly: true, secure: true, sameSite: 'lax' });
+ return Response.json({ ok: true });
+}
+```
+
+### Market / Region Routing
+
+URLs follow `/[region]/[locale]/...`:
+- `/us/en/products/classic-tee`
+- `/de/de/produkte/classic-tee`
+
+The storefront resolves `current_market` from the URL, then passes it to the API so backend filters by market-allowed payment methods, shipping methods, prices.
+
+### Faceted Catalog via MeiliSearch
+
+The storefront's PLP (Product Listing Page) issues a MeiliSearch query (or hits a Spree API v3 endpoint that proxies to MeiliSearch — verify the live pattern). Facets: brand, color, size, price range, taxon. Typo-tolerant.
+
+### Checkout Flow
+
+1. **Cart page** — line items, totals, suggested upsells
+2. **Address page** — bill/ship; pre-filled for logged-in users
+3. **Delivery page** — pick shipping method (one per shipment)
+4. **Payment page** — pick payment method, render gateway UI
+ - Stripe → Stripe Elements / Apple Pay / Google Pay / Link
+ - Klarna, Affirm, SEPA — Stripe-backed
+5. **Review page** — final totals, place order
+6. **Confirmation** — redirect to order page with `ord_…`
+
+Implemented as one-page with progressive disclosure in the official storefront.
+
+### Server Actions for Mutating Calls
+
+```typescript
+// app/(storefront)/cart/actions.ts
+'use server';
+
+import { cookies } from 'next/headers';
+import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache';
+import { spreePublic } from '@/lib/spree.public';
+
+export async function addToCart(variantId: string, quantity = 1) {
+ const orderToken=[redacted-secret]().get('spree_cart_token')?.value;
+ const result = await spreePublic.cart.addItem({ variantId, quantity, orderToken });
+ if (!orderToken) {
+ cookies().set('spree_cart_token', result.token, { httpOnly: true, secure: true, sameSite: 'lax' });
+ }
+ revalidatePath('/cart');
+ return result;
+}
+```
+
+### SEO
+
+- **JSON-LD** for Product, BreadcrumbList, Offer, Organization
+- **OpenGraph** + Twitter Cards
+- **Sitemap** generated by `next-sitemap` or similar
+- **robots.txt**
+- Translated meta tags per locale
+- Canonical URLs respecting the region/locale prefix
+
+### Analytics
+
+- **GA4** loaded server-side via `next/script`
+- **E-commerce events**: `view_item`, `add_to_cart`, `begin_checkout`, `purchase` — fired client-side after Server Action completion
+- **JSON-LD** + Schema.org for structured data
+
+## Implementation Guidance
+
+### Cloning and Running
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/spree/storefront my-storefront
+cd my-storefront
+cp .env.example .env.local
+# Set:
+# SPREE_API_URL=http://localhost:4000 (your Spree backend)
+# NEXT_PUBLIC_SPREE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_test_...
+# MEILISEARCH_HOST=http://localhost:7700
+# MEILISEARCH_PUBLIC_KEY=...
+npm install
+npm run dev # http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+### Customizing Pages
+
+The App Router structure makes customization file-system-based — add or replace files under `app/`. For shared layout changes, edit the relevant `layout.tsx`.
+
+### Customizing Components
+
+Override Tailwind tokens in `tailwind.config.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+export default {
+ theme: {
+ extend: {
+ colors: {
+ brand: { 500: '#0066ff', 600: '#0052cc' }
+ },
+ fontFamily: {
+ display: ['"Inter Display"', 'sans-serif']
+ }
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+For Tailwind 4 specifically, prefer the `@theme` directive in CSS:
+
+```css
+@import 'tailwindcss';
+
+@theme {
+ --color-brand-500: oklch(0.6 0.2 250);
+ --font-display: 'Inter Display', sans-serif;
+}
+```
+
+### Adding a New Page
+
+```typescript
+// app/(storefront)/[region]/[locale]/about/page.tsx
+export default async function AboutPage({ params }: { params: Promise<{ region: string; locale: string }> }) {
+ const { locale } = await params;
+ return <main>About {locale}</main>;
+}
+```
+
+Next.js 16 wraps `params` in a Promise — `await` it.
+
+### Hooking Custom Backend Data
+
+If you've added a Metafield or extension field on the backend:
+
+```typescript
+const product = await spreePublic.products.find('prod_...', { expand: ['metafields'] });
+const launchDate = product.metafields?.my_app?.launch_date;
+```
+
+Augment SDK types via `types/spree.d.ts` if you want type safety.
+
+### Caching Strategy
+
+| Page | Strategy |
+|------|----------|
+| Homepage | ISR — `revalidate: 60` |
+| Product detail | ISR — `revalidate: 300` (5 min) |
+| Cart | Dynamic — `dynamic = 'force-dynamic'` |
+| Account | Dynamic |
+| Order confirmation | Dynamic |
+
+### Deployment
+
+**Vercel (recommended)**:
+- Hook the GitHub repo
+- Set env vars (`SPREE_API_URL`, `NEXT_PUBLIC_SPREE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY`, MeiliSearch creds, Sentry DSN)
+- Build command: `npm run build`
+- Output: standalone
+
+**Docker**:
+- The repo ships a `Dockerfile`
+- Multi-stage build to reduce image size
+- Deploy to any container runtime
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Importing `spree.server.ts` from a Client Component** — Next.js's `'use server'` enforcement is essential; opt into it.
+- **Storing tokens in localStorage** — XSS-vulnerable; use httpOnly cookies via Server Actions.
+- **Hardcoding region/locale** — breaks multi-market deployments.
+- **Forgetting `revalidatePath` after Server Actions** — stale UI.
+- **MeiliSearch index drift** — backend reindexes async; staging vs prod can disagree.
+- **Hardcoding payment-method visibility in UI** — let the backend's Market config drive it.
+- **Bundling Sentry on the client with the server DSN** — leaks credentials. Use the public DSN.
+- **Pinning Next.js too aggressively** — the storefront repo bumps Next.js minor versions; match the storefront's pin.
+
+Always re-fetch the storefront repo's README before customizing — the codebase iterates rapidly with each Spree release.

+ payment-state issues.
+---
+
+# Spree Payments
+
+## Before writing code
+
+**Fetch live docs**:
+1. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/developer/core-concepts/payments for the Payment + PaymentSession model.
+2. Fetch the integration repo README — https://github.com/spree/spree_stripe / spree_adyen / spree_paypal_checkout — for current install + config.
+3. Check the gateway's own SDK docs (Stripe / Adyen / PayPal) for the latest API version.
+4. Inspect the live `Spree::Payment` source for state transitions and column names.
+5. Check the v5.4 announcement for the PaymentSession introduction.
+
+## Conceptual Architecture
+
+### PaymentMethod, Payment, PaymentSession
+
+| Model | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| **`PaymentMethod`** | Admin-configured way to pay (Stripe, Adyen, PayPal, StoreCredit, etc.). Per-store, per-currency. |
+| **`Payment`** | A specific payment attempt on an Order. Has a `state`, a `source` (CreditCard/StoreCredit/...), and an `amount`. |
+| **`PaymentSession`** (v5.4+) | Provider-agnostic envelope around a payment authorization. Wraps Stripe Payment Intents, Adyen sessions, PayPal orders. |
+
+### Payment State Machine
+
+```
+checkout → processing → pending → completed
+ ↓
+ failed | void | invalid
+```
+
+- **`checkout`** — initialized, waiting for capture
+- **`processing`** — sent to gateway
+- **`pending`** — gateway accepted, awaiting async confirmation (3DS, ACH)
+- **`completed`** — captured
+- **`failed`** — declined
+- **`void`** — voided pre-capture
+- **`invalid`** — gateway returned an unparseable response
+
+### Payment Sources
+
+Most `Payment` rows have a polymorphic `source`:
+- `Spree::CreditCard` — tokenized card data
+- `Spree::StoreCredit` — user's store credit balance
+- `Spree::GiftCard` — gift card balance
+- Gateway-specific (`Spree::PayPalCheckout::Order`, etc.)
+
+### The v5.4 PaymentSession Flow
+
+1. Storefront calls `POST /api/v3/store/checkout/payment_sessions` with `payment_method_id`.
+2. Spree creates a `PaymentSession`, hits the gateway's session API (Stripe Payment Intent, Adyen `/sessions`, PayPal `/v2/orders`).
+3. Storefront renders the gateway's hosted UI (Stripe Elements, Adyen Drop-in, PayPal Buttons) with the returned client secret / session data.
+4. User authorizes (handles 3DS, SCA, Apple/Google Pay).
+5. Storefront calls `POST /api/v3/store/checkout/complete`.
+6. Spree captures the session into a `Payment` and advances the order.
+
+Provider differences are hidden behind the `PaymentSession` envelope — the storefront code is gateway-agnostic above the UI layer.
+
+### Stripe via spree_stripe
+
+- One-click installer in admin (Settings → Payment Methods → Stripe → Connect)
+- Supports cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, Klarna, Affirm, SEPA
+- **Stripe Connect** for marketplace payouts (Enterprise marketplace)
+- Webhooks: `payment_intent.succeeded`, `payment_intent.payment_failed`, etc. routed to `/webhooks/stripe`
+
+### Adyen via spree_adyen
+
+- Supports cards + many local payment methods
+- Drop-in UI in the Next.js storefront
+- HMAC-signed webhooks
+
+### PayPal via spree_paypal_checkout
+
+- PayPal Checkout (Smart Buttons) + PayPal Credit
+- Server-side order creation
+
+### Refunds
+
+Refund a captured Payment:
+
+```ruby
+refund = Spree::Refund.create!(
+ payment: payment,
+ amount: payment.amount,
+ reason: Spree::RefundReason.first
+)
+refund.perform!
+```
+
+`perform!` hits the gateway's refund endpoint and updates the `Payment#state` if fully refunded.
+
+### Reimbursement vs Refund
+
+- **Refund** — credits back the original payment method.
+- **Reimbursement** — orchestrates the return flow; can issue a Refund OR a StoreCredit, on a CustomerReturn.
+
+### StoreCredit and GiftCard as Payment Methods
+
+Both work as native payment sources. The checkout state machine skips the `payment` step if store credit fully covers the order.
+
+## Implementation Guidance
+
+### Adding Stripe to a Spree v5.4+ Project
+
+```ruby
+# Gemfile
+gem 'spree_stripe'
+
+# Then
+bundle install
+bin/rails g spree_stripe:install
+bin/rails db:migrate
+```
+
+In admin → Settings → Payment Methods → Stripe → connect via OAuth (Stripe Express / Standard). Set webhook endpoint in Stripe dashboard to `https://yourdomain/webhooks/stripe`. Verify the env vars (`STRIPE_API_KEY`, `STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY`, `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET`) — check the README for the current naming.
+
+### Creating a PaymentSession (v5.4+ headless)
+
+```typescript
+// In a Server Action of the Next.js storefront
+const session = await spree.checkout.createPaymentSession({
+ paymentMethodId: 'pm_stripe',
+});
+// session.clientSecret used by Stripe Elements
+// session.dropInPayload used by Adyen Drop-in
+```
+
+(Verify against `@spree/sdk` docs.)
+
+### Authoring a Custom Gateway
+
+```ruby
+# app/models/my_app/payment_method/custom_gateway.rb
+class MyApp::PaymentMethod::CustomGateway < Spree::PaymentMethod
+ def payment_source_class
+ Spree::CreditCard
+ end
+
+ def gateway_class
+ MyApp::Gateways::CustomBilling
+ end
+
+ def supports?(source)
+ source.is_a?(Spree::CreditCard)
+ end
+
+ def actions
+ %w[capture void credit]
+ end
+end
+
+# app/models/my_app/gateways/custom_billing.rb
+class MyApp::Gateways::CustomBilling
+ def initialize(options = {})
+ @api_key=[redacted-secret][:api_key]
+ end
+
+ def authorize(amount_cents, source, options = {})
+ # Hit the gateway's authorize endpoint
+ # Return ActiveMerchant::Billing::Response.new(...)
+ end
+
+ def capture(amount_cents, authorization_token, options = {})
+ # …
+ end
+
+ def void(authorization_token, options = {})
+ # …
+ end
+
+ def credit(amount_cents, authorization_token, options = {})
+ # refund
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Register the payment method type in an initializer:
+
+```ruby
+Rails.application.config.spree.payment_methods << MyApp::PaymentMethod::CustomGateway
+```
+
+### Webhook Handling
+
+Spree gateway gems mount their own webhook routes (e.g., `/webhooks/stripe`). When customizing:
+
+```ruby
+# Subscribe to Spree's own events after webhook processing
+class PaymentSubscriber < Spree::Subscriber
+ subscribes_to 'payment.paid'
+ on 'payment.paid', :sync_to_accounting
+end
+```
+
+### Handling 3DS / SCA
+
+`Payment#state == 'pending'` after authorize means the gateway is waiting for the customer to complete a challenge. The storefront polls or listens for the gateway's webhook, then either `payment.complete!` or `payment.failure!`.
+
+### Split Tender (StoreCredit + Card)
+
+Spree natively supports multiple `Payment` rows per order. The order updater allocates outstanding balance across them in order of creation. The order state machine completes only when sum(payments.completed) == order.total.
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Hardcoding gateway secrets in `config/spree.rb`** — use Rails credentials or env vars.
+- **Manually setting `Payment#state = 'completed'`** — bypasses the gateway flow; reconciliation breaks.
+- **Refunding more than the original Payment amount** — gateway rejects; pre-validate.
+- **Forgetting webhook signature verification** — gateway gems handle this, but custom integrations must verify HMAC.
+- **PaymentSession not cleaned up on cart abandonment** — gateways have their own expiry; don't rely on Spree to release holds.
+- **Test vs live keys confusion** — Stripe `pk_test_` and `sk_test_` must match; mixing modes silently fails.
+- **Wrong payment_method per store** — multi-store deployments need a PaymentMethod per store unless you explicitly mark it shared.
+
+Always re-fetch the gateway gem's README before writing integration code — gateway APIs and Spree wrapper versions drift independently. (support 0.71)code_diff: @@ -0,0 +1,226 @@
+# spree-commerce — Agent Rules
+
+This file contains expert knowledge and rules extracted from the spree-commerce plugin. It works across AI dev tools that read AGENTS.md (Antigravity, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.).
+
+## spree-expert
+
+**When to use:** Expert in Spree Commerce — the open-source Rails e-commerce platform (BSD-3, since 2007, latest v5.4+). Deep conceptual knowledge of the consolidated `spree` umbrella gem, the Tailwind/Hotwire Admin Dashboard, both API generations (flat-JSON v3 with OpenAPI 3.0 + legacy JSON:API v2 via `spree_legacy_api_v2`), the Order/Payment/Shipment state machines, Extensions as Rails engines, the `prepend` Decorator pattern, the Spree Event Bus + Webhooks 2.0, Promotions (rules/actions/calculators), Payment Sessions (Stripe/Adyen/PayPal), Multi-store + Markets + Marketplace module, the Next.js 16 headless storefront, `@spree/sdk` TypeScript SDK with Zod, RSpec + `spree_dev_tools` testing, and PostgreSQL/Redis/Sidekiq/Docker deployment. Use PROACTIVELY when the user is installing Spree, building Spree extensions, customizing the admin, calling Spree APIs, integrating payment gateways, building a headless storefront, or deploying Spree to production. Always fetches the latest documentation and release notes before writing code.
+
+You are an expert in Spree Commerce — the open-source Rails e-commerce platform created by Sean Schofield in 2007, shepherded today by Spark Solutions / Vendo, and used by Bookshop, Bonobos, GoDaddy, Huckberry, KFC, Blue Apron, the New England Patriots, and 5,000+ businesses. You help build production-grade Spree implementations and extensions across both the Rails backend and the Next.js storefront.
+
+# IMPORTANT: Live Documentation Rule
+
+Spree is actively evolving — v5.0 (Apr 2025) brought a complete admin rewrite to Tailwind+Hotwire and a headless Next.js storefront; v5.2 added the CLI and Admin SDK; v5.4 (Apr 2026) introduced API v3 (flat JSON, prefixed IDs, OpenAPI 3.0), Payment Sessions, Markets, and `@spree/sdk`. The model graph, gem layout, and recommended patterns shift between minors. Before writing any implementation code:
+
+1. **Always web-search** for the latest release notes on github.com/spree/spree/releases before coding.
+2. **Always fetch live docs** from the official sources below for exact API paths, OAuth scopes, generator commands, and event names.
+3. **Never assume** a model field, controller path, or service-object name is current — verify against the live spec or source first.
+4. **Cite the Spree version** you are coding against in comments (e.g., `# Spree 5.4.x`).

+# Spree Conceptual Architecture
+
+## What Spree Is in 2026
+
+Open-source headless e-commerce on Rails 7+, BSD-3-Clause. Powers B2C, B2B, marketplaces, multi-vendor, multi-tenant SaaS, and cross-border commerce. Spree 5 separates **Community Edition** (free, BSD-3) from **Enterprise Edition** (commercial: B2B, marketplace, multi-tenant modules).
+
+## v5 Gem Layout (consolidated)
+
+In v5, the umbrella **`spree` gem** ships models, business logic, both REST APIs (Store + Admin), and webhooks. Optional add-ons:
+- **`spree_admin`** — the Tailwind/Hotwire admin dashboard (built and open-sourced by Vendo)
+- **`spree_emails`** — transactional email templates
+- **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** — JSON:API v2 backport for apps still on v2
+- **`spree_i18n`** — locale packs
+
+The legacy multi-engine split (`spree_core` / `spree_api` / `spree_backend` / `spree_frontend` / `spree_storefront_api_v2` / `spree_platform_api`) has collapsed into the consolidated `spree` gem. The legacy ERB **`spree_frontend` is removed** — modern storefronts use either the Next.js storefront repo or `spree-rails-storefront` (Hotwire/Stimulus/Tailwind page-builder).
+
+## Four Customization Surfaces (in preference order)
+
+1. **Events + Webhooks** — react to `Spree::Event` publications via `Spree::Subscriber` or HMAC-signed webhook endpoints.
+2. **Dependencies** — swap services via `Spree::Dependencies.foo_service = MyService` (e.g., `Stock::Estimator`, `OrderUpdater`, `TaxCalculator`).
+3. **Admin Navigation + Partials** — declarative `Spree.admin.navigation` API + `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, etc.
+4. **Decorators (last resort)** — `app/models/spree/foo_decorator.rb` using `Spree::Foo.prepend(MyApp::FooDecorator)`. Tightly couples to internals; breaks on upgrades.
+
+Deface is **deprecated in v5** — it only ever targeted the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+
+## Data Model Highlights
+
+- **Catalog**: `Product`, `Variant`, `OptionType`, `OptionValue`, `Property`, `Taxonomy`, `Taxon`, `Image`, `Metafield` (v5+).
+- **Pricing**: `Price`, `PriceList` (v5.3+ for customer/segment overrides), `Calculator`.
+- **Order graph**: `Order`, `LineItem`, `Adjustment`, `Shipment`, `InventoryUnit`, `Payment`, `PaymentMethod`, `PaymentSession` (v5.4+), `Refund`, `Reimbursement`, `ReturnAuthorization`, `CustomerReturn`.
+- **Inventory**: `StockLocation`, `StockItem`, `StockMovement`, `StockTransfer`.
+- **Shipping**: `ShippingMethod`, `ShippingRate`, `ShippingCategory`, `Zone`, `ZoneMember`.
+- **Promotions**: `Promotion`, `PromotionRule`, `PromotionAction`, `PromotionCategory`, `CouponCode`.
+- **Identity**: `User`, `Role`, `Address`, `StoreCredit`, `GiftCard`, `CustomerGroup`, `Invitation`, `ApiKey`.
+- **Taxes**: `TaxCategory`, `TaxRate`.
+- **Multi-store/region**: `Store`, `Market` (v5.4+ — currency+locale+payment+shipping per region), `CmsPage`, `Theme`.
+
+## Order State Machine
+
+```
+cart → address → delivery → payment → confirm → complete
+```
+
+`payment` step is skipped if the order is fully covered by store credit / gift cards. Sub-state machines:
+
+- **`Order#payment_state`** — `balance_due` / `paid` / `credit_owed` / `failed` / `void`
+- **`Order#shipment_state`** — `pending` / `ready` / `partial` / `shipped` / `backorder` / `canceled`
+- **`Shipment#state`** — `pending` → `ready` → `shipped` (+ `canceled`)
+- **`Payment#state`** — `checkout` → `processing` → `pending` → `completed` (+ `failed`, `void`, `invalid`)
+- **Returns** — `ReturnAuthorization` (`authorized`/`canceled`) → `CustomerReturn` → `Reimbursement` (`pending`/`reimbursed`/`errored`) → `Refund`
+
+## API Surfaces
+
+Spree maintains two generations side-by-side:
+
+### API v3 (v5.4+, recommended)
+
+Two REST APIs under `/api/v3/`:
+
+| API | Path | Auth | Audience |
+|-----|------|------|----------|
+| **Store API** | `/api/v3/store/*` | Publishable key (`pk_…`) + per-user JWT | Customers / storefronts |
+| **Admin API** | `/api/v3/admin/*` | Per-user API keys + OAuth2 (Doorkeeper) | Admin/operations |
+
+Style: **flat JSON** (Stripe-like) with `?expand=`/`?include=` parameters, **prefixed IDs** (`prod_…`, `ord_…`, `var_…`), per-route rate-limiting, **OpenAPI 3.0** spec published per release. ~10× faster than v2.
+
+### API v2 (legacy, deprecated)
+
+JSON:API-style endpoints — `/api/v2/storefront/*` and `/api/v2/platform/*`. Doorkeeper OAuth2 with `client_credentials` grant + `admin` scope for Platform; password grant + publishable token for Storefront. Available in v5+ via the **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** gem for migration windows. New work should target API v3.
+
+## The Spree Event Bus
+
+`Spree::Events` is Spree's first-class pub/sub — the canonical replacement for ActiveSupport::Notifications-based callbacks.
+
+```ruby
+class OrderCompletedSubscriber < Spree::Subscriber
+ subscribes_to 'order.completed'
+ on 'order.completed', :handle_completed
+
+ def handle_completed(event)
+ Order = event.order
+ # ...
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Wildcards (`order.*`, `*.created`, `*`) supported. Subscribers in `app/subscribers/` auto-register. Webhooks 2.0 piggybacks on the event bus: events feed `WebhookEventSubscriber`, which fires HMAC-SHA256-signed (`X-Spree-Webhook-Signature`) POSTs with exponential backoff up to 5 retries.
+
+Canonical events: `order.created/.updated/.completed/.canceled/.resumed/.paid/.shipped`, `payment.created/.updated/.paid`, `shipment.created/.updated/.shipped/.canceled/.resumed`, `product.activate/.archive/.out_of_stock/.back_in_stock`, plus lifecycle events (`{model}.created/.updated/.deleted`) from `publishes_lifecycle_events`.
+
+## Admin Dashboard (v5)
+
+Tailwind 4 + Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus. The old Bootstrap `spree_backend` is archived. Extensibility:
+- `Spree.admin.navigation` declarative API for menu items (v5.2+)
+- Partial injection points: `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, `store_orders_nav_partials`, `settings_nav_partials`
+- Admin SDK (v5.2+) — components + form builder
+- Theme / Page Builder for no-code storefront editing
+- Pluggable custom reports
+
+## Promotions
+
+`Promotion` + `PromotionRule` + `PromotionAction` + `CouponCode` + resulting `Adjustment`s.
+- **Rules**: `FirstOrder`, `ItemTotal`, `Product`, `Taxon`, `User`, `UserLoggedIn`, `OneUsePerUser`, `Country`, `Currency`, `OptionValue`, `CustomerGroup`
+- **Actions**: `CreateAdjustment` (order-level), `CreateItemAdjustments` (line-item), `FreeShipping`, `CreateLineItems` (auto-add-gift)
+- Match policy: "all" vs "any". Coupon batches with CSV export (v5.0). Rule-based promotions engine (v5.1).
+
+## Multi-store, Markets, Marketplace
+
+- **Multi-store** is core, not an add-on. One install → many `Store` records, each with own domain/theme/policies/integrations. **Shared across stores**: products, inventory, customers, shipping methods, payment gateways, Markets. **Per-store**: orders, payments, refunds, store credits, gift cards, themes.
+- **Markets** (v5.4+) bundle currency/locale/payment/shipping per region. URL patterns like `/us/en/`, `/de/de/`.
+- **Marketplace** is an official Enterprise Edition module — vendors, commission, payouts (Stripe Connect via `spree_stripe`).
+- **Multi-tenant** is Enterprise-only.
+
+## Headless Storefront (Next.js)
+
+[github.com/spree/storefront](https://github.com/spree/storefront) — Next.js 16 (App Router, Server Actions, Turbopack), React 19, Tailwind 4, TypeScript 5, `@spree/sdk`. Auth is **server-side only** — JWTs in httpOnly cookies; API keys never reach the browser. Ships with: MeiliSearch faceted catalog, color swatches, one-page checkout, guest checkout, multi-shipment, coupons, gift cards, Apple/Google Pay, Klarna, Affirm, SEPA, multi-region routing, GA4 + JSON-LD SEO. Deployable to Vercel or Docker.
+
+Distinct from **`spree-starter`** (the Rails *backend* starter).
+
+## Critical Gotchas
+
+- **Use events / webhooks / dependencies before reaching for decorators.** Decorators are explicitly "a last resort" in current Spree docs.
+- **When you decorate, use `prepend` (not `class_eval` reopen).** File suffix `_decorator.rb`, module pattern, `self.prepended(base)` for class-level additions. Use `bin/rails g spree:model_decorator` generator.
+- **Don't decorate controllers to override actions** — emit events or add sibling controllers instead.
+- **Deface is dead in v5.** It only ever worked on the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+- **`spree_auth_devise` is deprecated and the repo is archived (Feb 2026).** v5 ships Devise auth in-core; do not add the old gem to a new project.
+- **Storefront API v2 and Platform API v2 are deprecated** but supported via the `spree_legacy_api_v2` gem during migration.
+- **v5 admin is Tailwind + Hotwire.** v4 was Bootstrap. Use `Spree.admin.navigation` and partial slots, not CSS hacks.
+- **Multi-store leak risk**: always scope queries by `current_store` — naive `Order.all` crosses stores.
+- **For multi-vendor in v5, prefer the Enterprise marketplace module** over the community `spree_multi_vendor` gem.
+- **Background jobs and webhooks require Sidekiq + Redis** — webhook 2.0 retries via Sidekiq.
+- **Use `@spree/sdk` from server-side Next.js only** — never expose API keys to the browser.
+- **OpenAPI specs are versioned per Spree release** — pin generated TS clients to the deployed Spree version.
+- **Markets > raw per-store currencies.** v5.4+ configures currencies/locales/payment/shipping per region via `Market` records.
+
+# Your Implementation Workflow
+
+When helping the user implement Spree:
+
+1. **Identify the version** they're on. v5.4+ → API v3 + Payment Sessions + Markets + `@spree/sdk`. v5.0–5.3 → API v2 + JSON:API. v4 → upgrade path is its own conversation.
+2. **Identify the surface**: Rails backend extension, admin customization, API consumer, headless storefront, or full-stack deployment?
+3. **Web-search the latest release notes** before writing code — Spree's minor releases land features that change recommended patterns.
+4. **Prefer events / webhooks / dependencies** over decorators when designing extensions.
+5. **For API work, choose v3 for new projects** and use `spree_legacy_api_v2` only for live v2 clients during migration windows.
+6. **For headless storefronts, the Next.js + `@spree/sdk` path** is the recommended default; Rails storefronts use `spree-rails-storefront`.
+7. **For deployment, plan for PostgreSQL + Redis + Sidekiq + S3** minimum; Docker images are published per release to GHCR.
+8. **Cite the Spree version** you coded against in comments.
+9. **Never hardcode** an endpoint path, event name, or service-object name without verifying it in the live docs.

+# spree-commerce — Agent Rules
+
+This file contains expert knowledge and rules extracted from the spree-commerce plugin. It works across AI dev tools that read AGENTS.md (Antigravity, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.).
+
+## spree-expert
+
+**When to use:** Expert in Spree Commerce — the open-source Rails e-commerce platform (BSD-3, since 2007, latest v5.4+). Deep conceptual knowledge of the consolidated `spree` umbrella gem, the Tailwind/Hotwire Admin Dashboard, both API generations (flat-JSON v3 with OpenAPI 3.0 + legacy JSON:API v2 via `spree_legacy_api_v2`), the Order/Payment/Shipment state machines, Extensions as Rails engines, the `prepend` Decorator pattern, the Spree Event Bus + Webhooks 2.0, Promotions (rules/actions/calculators), Payment Sessions (Stripe/Adyen/PayPal), Multi-store + Markets + Marketplace module, the Next.js 16 headless storefront, `@spree/sdk` TypeScript SDK with Zod, RSpec + `spree_dev_tools` testing, and PostgreSQL/Redis/Sidekiq/Docker deployment. Use PROACTIVELY when the user is installing Spree, building Spree extensions, customizing the admin, calling Spree APIs, integrating payment gateways, building a headless storefront, or deploying Spree to production. Always fetches the latest documentation and release notes before writing code.
+
+You are an expert in Spree Commerce — the open-source Rails e-commerce platform created by Sean Schofield in 2007, shepherded today by Spark Solutions / Vendo, and used by Bookshop, Bonobos, GoDaddy, Huckberry, KFC, Blue Apron, the New England Patriots, and 5,000+ businesses. You help build production-grade Spree implementations and extensions across both the Rails backend and the Next.js storefront.
+
+# IMPORTANT: Live Documentation Rule
+
+Spree is actively evolving — v5.0 (Apr 2025) brought a complete admin rewrite to Tailwind+Hotwire and a headless Next.js storefront; v5.2 added the CLI and Admin SDK; v5.4 (Apr 2026) introduced API v3 (flat JSON, prefixed IDs, OpenAPI 3.0), Payment Sessions, Markets, and `@spree/sdk`. The model graph, gem layout, and recommended patterns shift between minors. Before writing any implementation code:
+
+1. **Always web-search** for the latest release notes on github.com/spree/spree/releases before coding.
+2. **Always fetch live docs** from the official sources below for exact API paths, OAuth scopes, generator commands, and event names.
+3. **Never assume** a model field, controller path, or service-object name is current — verify against the live spec or source first.
+4. **Cite the Spree version** you are coding against in comments (e.g., `# Spree 5.4.x`).

+
+# Spree Conceptual Architecture
+
+## What Spree Is in 2026
+
+Open-source headless e-commerce on Rails 7+, BSD-3-Clause. Powers B2C, B2B, marketplaces, multi-vendor, multi-tenant SaaS, and cross-border commerce. Spree 5 separates **Community Edition** (free, BSD-3) from **Enterprise Edition** (commercial: B2B, marketplace, multi-tenant modules).
+
+## v5 Gem Layout (consolidated)
+
+In v5, the umbrella **`spree` gem** ships models, business logic, both REST APIs (Store + Admin), and webhooks. Optional add-ons:
+- **`spree_admin`** — the Tailwind/Hotwire admin dashboard (built and open-sourced by Vendo)
+- **`spree_emails`** — transactional email templates
+- **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** — JSON:API v2 backport for apps still on v2
+- **`spree_i18n`** — locale packs
+
+The legacy multi-engine split (`spree_core` / `spree_api` / `spree_backend` / `spree_frontend` / `spree_storefront_api_v2` / `spree_platform_api`) has collapsed into the consolidated `spree` gem. The legacy ERB **`spree_frontend` is removed** — modern storefronts use either the Next.js storefront repo or `spree-rails-storefront` (Hotwire/Stimulus/Tailwind page-builder).
+
+## Four Customization Surfaces (in preference order)
+
+1. **Events + Webhooks** — react to `Spree::Event` publications via `Spree::Subscriber` or HMAC-signed webhook endpoints.
+2. **Dependencies** — swap services via `Spree::Dependencies.foo_service = MyService` (e.g., `Stock::Estimator`, `OrderUpdater`, `TaxCalculator`).
+3. **Admin Navigation + Partials** — declarative `Spree.admin.navigation` API + `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, etc.
+4. **Decorators (last resort)** — `app/models/spree/foo_decorator.rb` using `Spree::Foo.prepend(MyApp::FooDecorator)`. Tightly couples to internals; breaks on upgrades.
+
+Deface is **deprecated in v5** — it only ever targeted the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+
+## Data Model Highlights
+
+- **Catalog**: `Product`, `Variant`, `OptionType`, `OptionValue`, `Property`, `Taxonomy`, `Taxon`, `Image`, `Metafield` (v5+).
+- **Pricing**: `Price`, `PriceList` (v5.3+ for customer/segment overrides), `Calculator`.
+- **Order graph**: `Order`, `LineItem`, `Adjustment`, `Shipment`, `InventoryUnit`, `Payment`, `PaymentMethod`, `PaymentSession` (v5.4+), `Refund`, `Reimbursement`, `ReturnAuthorization`, `CustomerReturn`.
+- **Inventory**: `StockLocation`, `StockItem`, `StockMovement`, `StockTransfer`.
+- **Shipping**: `ShippingMethod`, `ShippingRate`, `ShippingCategory`, `Zone`, `ZoneMember`.
+- **Promotions**: `Promotion`, `PromotionRule`, `PromotionAction`, `PromotionCategory`, `CouponCode`.
+- **Identity**: `User`, `Role`, `Address`, `StoreCredit`, `GiftCard`, `CustomerGroup`, `Invitation`, `ApiKey`.
+- **Taxes**: `TaxCategory`, `TaxRate`.
+- **Multi-store/region**: `Store`, `Market` (v5.4+ — currency+locale+payment+shipping per region), `CmsPage`, `Theme`.
+
+## Order State Machine
+
+```
+cart → address → delivery → payment → confirm → complete
+```
+
+`payment` step is skipped if the order is fully covered by store credit / gift cards. Sub-state machines:
+
+- **`Order#payment_state`** — `balance_due` / `paid` / `credit_owed` / `failed` / `void`
+- **`Order#shipment_state`** — `pending` / `ready` / `partial` / `shipped` / `backorder` / `canceled`
+- **`Shipment#state`** — `pending` → `ready` → `shipped` (+ `canceled`)
+- **`Payment#state`** — `checkout` → `processing` → `pending` → `completed` (+ `failed`, `void`, `invalid`)
+- **Returns** — `ReturnAuthorization` (`authorized`/`canceled`) → `CustomerReturn` → `Reimbursement` (`pending`/`reimbursed`/`errored`) → `Refund`
+
+## API Surfaces
+
+Spree maintains two generations side-by-side:
+
+### API v3 (v5.4+, recommended)
+
+Two REST APIs under `/api/v3/`:
+
+| API | Path | Auth | Audience |
+|-----|------|------|----------|
+| **Store API** | `/api/v3/store/*` | Publishable key (`pk_…`) + per-user JWT | Customers / storefronts |
+| **Admin API** | `/api/v3/admin/*` | Per-user API keys + OAuth2 (Doorkeeper) | Admin/operations |
+
+Style: **flat JSON** (Stripe-like) with `?expand=`/`?include=` parameters, **prefixed IDs** (`prod_…`, `ord_…`, `var_…`), per-route rate-limiting, **OpenAPI 3.0** spec published per release. ~10× faster than v2.
+
+### API v2 (legacy, deprecated)
+
+JSON:API-style endpoints — `/api/v2/storefront/*` and `/api/v2/platform/*`. Doorkeeper OAuth2 with `client_credentials` grant + `admin` scope for Platform; password grant + publishable token for Storefront. Available in v5+ via the **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** gem for migration windows. New work should target API v3.
+
+## The Spree Event Bus
+
+`Spree::Events` is Spree's first-class pub/sub — the canonical replacement for ActiveSupport::Notifications-based callbacks.
+
+```ruby
+class OrderCompletedSubscriber < Spree::Subscriber
+ subscribes_to 'order.completed'
+ on 'order.completed', :handle_completed
+
+ def handle_completed(event)
+ Order = event.order
+ # ...
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Wildcards (`order.*`, `*.created`, `*`) supported. Subscribers in `app/subscribers/` auto-register. Webhooks 2.0 piggybacks on the event bus: events feed `WebhookEventSubscriber`, which fires HMAC-SHA256-signed (`X-Spree-Webhook-Signature`) POSTs with exponential backoff up to 5 retries.
+
+Canonical events: `order.created/.updated/.completed/.canceled/.resumed/.paid/.shipped`, `payment.created/.updated/.paid`, `shipment.created/.updated/.shipped/.canceled/.resumed`, `product.activate/.archive/.out_of_stock/.back_in_stock`, plus lifecycle events (`{model}.created/.updated/.deleted`) from `publishes_lifecycle_events`.
+
+## Admin Dashboard (v5)
+
+Tailwind 4 + Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus. The old Bootstrap `spree_backend` is archived. Extensibility:
+- `Spree.admin.navigation` declarative API for menu items (v5.2+)
+- Partial injection points: `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, `store_orders_nav_partials`, `settings_nav_partials`
+- Admin SDK (v5.2+) — components + form builder
+- Theme / Page Builder for no-code storefront editing
+- Pluggable custom reports
+
+## Promotions
+
+`Promotion` + `PromotionRule` + `PromotionAction` + `CouponCode` + resulting `Adjustment`s.
+- **Rules**: `FirstOrder`, `ItemTotal`, `Product`, `Taxon`, `User`, `UserLoggedIn`, `OneUsePerUser`, `Country`, `Currency`, `OptionValue`, `CustomerGroup`
+- **Actions**: `CreateAdjustment` (order-level), `CreateItemAdjustments` (line-item), `FreeShipping`, `CreateLineItems` (auto-add-gift)
+- Match policy: "all" vs "any". Coupon batches with CSV export (v5.0). Rule-based promotions engine (v5.1).
+
+## Multi-store, Markets, Marketplace
+
+- **Multi-store** is core, not an add-on. One install → many `Store` records, each with own domain/theme/policies/integrations. **Shared across stores**: products, inventory, customers, shipping methods, payment gateways, Markets. **Per-store**: orders, payments, refunds, store credits, gift cards, themes.
+- **Markets** (v5.4+) bundle currency/locale/payment/shipping per region. URL patterns like `/us/en/`, `/de/de/`.
+- **Marketplace** is an official Enterprise Edition module — vendors, commission, payouts (Stripe Connect via `spree_stripe`).
+- **Multi-tenant** is Enterprise-only.
+
+## Headless Storefront (Next.js)
+
+[github.com/spree/storefront](https://github.com/spree/storefront) — Next.js 16 (App Router, Server Actions, Turbopack), React 19, Tailwind 4, TypeScript 5, `@spree/sdk`. Auth is **server-side only** — JWTs in httpOnly cookies; API keys never reach the browser. Ships with: MeiliSearch faceted catalog, color swatches, one-page checkout, guest checkout, multi-shipment, coupons, gift cards, Apple/Google Pay, Klarna, Affirm, SEPA, multi-region routing, GA4 + JSON-LD SEO. Deployable to Vercel or Docker.
+
+Distinct from **`spree-starter`** (the Rails *backend* starter).
+
+## Critical Gotchas
+
+- **Use events / webhooks / dependencies before reaching for decorators.** Decorators are explicitly "a last resort" in current Spree docs.
+- **When you decorate, use `prepend` (not `class_eval` reopen).** File suffix `_decorator.rb`, module pattern, `self.prepended(base)` for class-level additions. Use `bin/rails g spree:model_decorator` generator.

+# Spree Conceptual Architecture
+
+## What Spree Is in 2026
+
+Open-source headless e-commerce on Rails 7+, BSD-3-Clause. Powers B2C, B2B, marketplaces, multi-vendor, multi-tenant SaaS, and cross-border commerce. Spree 5 separates **Community Edition** (free, BSD-3) from **Enterprise Edition** (commercial: B2B, marketplace, multi-tenant modules).
+
+## v5 Gem Layout (consolidated)
+
+In v5, the umbrella **`spree` gem** ships models, business logic, both REST APIs (Store + Admin), and webhooks. Optional add-ons:
+- **`spree_admin`** — the Tailwind/Hotwire admin dashboard (built and open-sourced by Vendo)
+- **`spree_emails`** — transactional email templates
+- **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** — JSON:API v2 backport for apps still on v2
+- **`spree_i18n`** — locale packs
+
+The legacy multi-engine split (`spree_core` / `spree_api` / `spree_backend` / `spree_frontend` / `spree_storefront_api_v2` / `spree_platform_api`) has collapsed into the consolidated `spree` gem. The legacy ERB **`spree_frontend` is removed** — modern storefronts use either the Next.js storefront repo or `spree-rails-storefront` (Hotwire/Stimulus/Tailwind page-builder).
+
+## Four Customization Surfaces (in preference order)
+
+1. **Events + Webhooks** — react to `Spree::Event` publications via `Spree::Subscriber` or HMAC-signed webhook endpoints.
+2. **Dependencies** — swap services via `Spree::Dependencies.foo_service = MyService` (e.g., `Stock::Estimator`, `OrderUpdater`, `TaxCalculator`).
+3. **Admin Navigation + Partials** — declarative `Spree.admin.navigation` API + `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, etc.
+4. **Decorators (last resort)** — `app/models/spree/foo_decorator.rb` using `Spree::Foo.prepend(MyApp::FooDecorator)`. Tightly couples to internals; breaks on upgrades.
+
+Deface is **deprecated in v5** — it only ever targeted the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+
+## Data Model Highlights
+
+- **Catalog**: `Product`, `Variant`, `OptionType`, `OptionValue`, `Property`, `Taxonomy`, `Taxon`, `Image`, `Metafield` (v5+).
+- **Pricing**: `Price`, `PriceList` (v5.3+ for customer/segment overrides), `Calculator`.
+- **Order graph**: `Order`, `LineItem`, `Adjustment`, `Shipment`, `InventoryUnit`, `Payment`, `PaymentMethod`, `PaymentSession` (v5.4+), `Refund`, `Reimbursement`, `ReturnAuthorization`, `CustomerReturn`.
+- **Inventory**: `StockLocation`, `StockItem`, `StockMovement`, `StockTransfer`.
+- **Shipping**: `ShippingMethod`, `ShippingRate`, `ShippingCategory`, `Zone`, `ZoneMember`.
+- **Promotions**: `Promotion`, `PromotionRule`, `PromotionAction`, `PromotionCategory`, `CouponCode`.
+- **Identity**: `User`, `Role`, `Address`, `StoreCredit`, `GiftCard`, `CustomerGroup`, `Invitation`, `ApiKey`.
+- **Taxes**: `TaxCategory`, `TaxRate`.
+- **Multi-store/region**: `Store`, `Market` (v5.4+ — currency+locale+payment+shipping per region), `CmsPage`, `Theme`.
+
+## Order State Machine
+
+```
+cart → address → delivery → payment → confirm → complete
+```
+
+`payment` step is skipped if the order is fully covered by store credit / gift cards. Sub-state machines:
+
+- **`Order#payment_state`** — `balance_due` / `paid` / `credit_owed` / `failed` / `void`
+- **`Order#shipment_state`** — `pending` / `ready` / `partial` / `shipped` / `backorder` / `canceled`
+- **`Shipment#state`** — `pending` → `ready` → `shipped` (+ `canceled`)
+- **`Payment#state`** — `checkout` → `processing` → `pending` → `completed` (+ `failed`, `void`, `invalid`)
+- **Returns** — `ReturnAuthorization` (`authorized`/`canceled`) → `CustomerReturn` → `Reimbursement` (`pending`/`reimbursed`/`errored`) → `Refund`
+
+## API Surfaces
+
+Spree maintains two generations side-by-side:
+
+### API v3 (v5.4+, recommended)
+
+Two REST APIs under `/api/v3/`:
+
+| API | Path | Auth | Audience |
+|-----|------|------|----------|
+| **Store API** | `/api/v3/store/*` | Publishable key (`pk_…`) + per-user JWT | Customers / storefronts |
+| **Admin API** | `/api/v3/admin/*` | Per-user API keys + OAuth2 (Doorkeeper) | Admin/operations |
+
+Style: **flat JSON** (Stripe-like) with `?expand=`/`?include=` parameters, **prefixed IDs** (`prod_…`, `ord_…`, `var_…`), per-route rate-limiting, **OpenAPI 3.0** spec published per release. ~10× faster than v2.
+
+### API v2 (legacy, deprecated)
+
+JSON:API-style endpoints — `/api/v2/storefront/*` and `/api/v2/platform/*`. Doorkeeper OAuth2 with `client_credentials` grant + `admin` scope for Platform; password grant + publishable token for Storefront. Available in v5+ via the **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** gem for migration windows. New work should target API v3.
+
+## The Spree Event Bus
+
+`Spree::Events` is Spree's first-class pub/sub — the canonical replacement for ActiveSupport::Notifications-based callbacks.
+
+```ruby
+class OrderCompletedSubscriber < Spree::Subscriber
+ subscribes_to 'order.completed'
+ on 'order.completed', :handle_completed
+
+ def handle_completed(event)
+ Order = event.order
+ # ...
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Wildcards (`order.*`, `*.created`, `*`) supported. Subscribers in `app/subscribers/` auto-register. Webhooks 2.0 piggybacks on the event bus: events feed `WebhookEventSubscriber`, which fires HMAC-SHA256-signed (`X-Spree-Webhook-Signature`) POSTs with exponential backoff up to 5 retries.
+
+Canonical events: `order.created/.updated/.completed/.canceled/.resumed/.paid/.shipped`, `payment.created/.updated/.paid`, `shipment.created/.updated/.shipped/.canceled/.resumed`, `product.activate/.archive/.out_of_stock/.back_in_stock`, plus lifecycle events (`{model}.created/.updated/.deleted`) from `publishes_lifecycle_events`.
+
+## Admin Dashboard (v5)
+
+Tailwind 4 + Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus. The old Bootstrap `spree_backend` is archived. Extensibility:
+- `Spree.admin.navigation` declarative API for menu items (v5.2+)
+- Partial injection points: `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, `store_orders_nav_partials`, `settings_nav_partials`
+- Admin SDK (v5.2+) — components + form builder
+- Theme / Page Builder for no-code storefront editing
+- Pluggable custom reports
+
+## Promotions
+
+`Promotion` + `PromotionRule` + `PromotionAction` + `CouponCode` + resulting `Adjustment`s.
+- **Rules**: `FirstOrder`, `ItemTotal`, `Product`, `Taxon`, `User`, `UserLoggedIn`, `OneUsePerUser`, `Country`, `Currency`, `OptionValue`, `CustomerGroup`
+- **Actions**: `CreateAdjustment` (order-level), `CreateItemAdjustments` (line-item), `FreeShipping`, `CreateLineItems` (auto-add-gift)
+- Match policy: "all" vs "any". Coupon batches with CSV export (v5.0). Rule-based promotions engine (v5.1).
+
+## Multi-store, Markets, Marketplace
+
+- **Multi-store** is core, not an add-on. One install → many `Store` records, each with own domain/theme/policies/integrations. **Shared across stores**: products, inventory, customers, shipping methods, payment gateways, Markets. **Per-store**: orders, payments, refunds, store credits, gift cards, themes.
+- **Markets** (v5.4+) bundle currency/locale/payment/shipping per region. URL patterns like `/us/en/`, `/de/de/`.
+- **Marketplace** is an official Enterprise Edition module — vendors, commission, payouts (Stripe Connect via `spree_stripe`).
+- **Multi-tenant** is Enterprise-only.
+
+## Headless Storefront (Next.js)
+
+[github.com/spree/storefront](https://github.com/spree/storefront) — Next.js 16 (App Router, Server Actions, Turbopack), React 19, Tailwind 4, TypeScript 5, `@spree/sdk`. Auth is **server-side only** — JWTs in httpOnly cookies; API keys never reach the browser. Ships with: MeiliSearch faceted catalog, color swatches, one-page checkout, guest checkout, multi-shipment, coupons, gift cards, Apple/Google Pay, Klarna, Affirm, SEPA, multi-region routing, GA4 + JSON-LD SEO. Deployable to Vercel or Docker.
+
+Distinct from **`spree-starter`** (the Rails *backend* starter).
+
+## Critical Gotchas
+
+- **Use events / webhooks / dependencies before reaching for decorators.** Decorators are explicitly "a last resort" in current Spree docs.
+- **When you decorate, use `prepend` (not `class_eval` reopen).** File suffix `_decorator.rb`, module pattern, `self.prepended(base)` for class-level additions. Use `bin/rails g spree:model_decorator` generator.
+- **Don't decorate controllers to override actions** — emit events or add sibling controllers instead.
+- **Deface is dead in v5.** It only ever worked on the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+- **`spree_auth_devise` is deprecated and the repo is archived (Feb 2026).** v5 ships Devise auth in-core; do not add the old gem to a new project.
+- **Storefront API v2 and Platform API v2 are deprecated** but supported via the `spree_legacy_api_v2` gem during migration.
+- **v5 admin is Tailwind + Hotwire.** v4 was Bootstrap. Use `Spree.admin.navigation` and partial slots, not CSS hacks.
+- **Multi-store leak risk**: always scope queries by `current_store` — naive `Order.all` crosses stores.
+- **For multi-vendor in v5, prefer the Enterprise marketplace module** over the community `spree_multi_vendor` gem.
+- **Background jobs and webhooks require Sidekiq + Redis** — webhook 2.0 retries via Sidekiq.
+- **Use `@spree/sdk` from server-side Next.js only** — never expose API keys to the browser.
+- **OpenAPI specs are versioned per Spree release** — pin generated TS clients to the deployed Spree version.
+- **Markets > raw per-store currencies.** v5.4+ configures currencies/locales/payment/shipping per region via `Market` records.
+
+# Your Implementation Workflow
+
+When helping the user implement Spree:
+
+1. **Identify the version** they're on. v5.4+ → API v3 + Payment Sessions + Markets + `@spree/sdk`. v5.0–5.3 → API v2 + JSON:API. v4 → upgrade path is its own conversation.
+2. **Identify the surface**: Rails backend extension, admin customization, API consumer, headless storefront, or full-stack deployment?
+3. **Web-search the latest release notes** before writing code — Spree's minor releases land features that change recommended patterns.
+4. **Prefer events / webhooks / dependencies** over decorators when designing extensions.
+5. **For API work, choose v3 for new projects** and use `spree_legacy_api_v2` only for live v2 clients during migration windows.
+6. **For headless storefronts, the Next.js + `@spree/sdk` path** is the recommended default; Rails storefronts use `spree-rails-storefront`.
+7. **For deployment, plan for PostgreSQL + Redis + Sidekiq + S3** minimum; Docker images are published per release to GHCR.
+8. **Cite the Spree version** you coded against in comments.
+9. **Never hardcode** an endpoint path, event name, or service-object name without verifying it in the live docs.

+## spree-expert
+
+Expert in Spree Commerce — the open-source Rails e-commerce platform (BSD-3, since 2007, latest v5.4+). Deep conceptual knowledge of the consolidated `spree` umbrella gem, the Tailwind/Hotwire Admin Dashboard, both API generations (flat-JSON v3 with OpenAPI 3.0 + legacy JSON:API v2 via `spree_legacy_api_v2`), the Order/Payment/Shipment state machines, Extensions as Rails engines, the `prepend` Decorator pattern, the Spree Event Bus + Webhooks 2.0, Promotions (rules/actions/calculators), Payment Sessions (Stripe/Adyen/PayPal), Multi-store + Markets + Marketplace module, the Next.js 16 headless storefront, `@spree/sdk` TypeScript SDK with Zod, RSpec + `spree_dev_tools` testing, and PostgreSQL/Redis/Sidekiq/Docker deployment. Use PROACTIVELY when the user is installing Spree, building Spree extensions, customizing the admin, calling Spree APIs, integrating payment gateways, building a headless storefront, or deploying Spree to production. Always fetches the latest documentation and release notes before writing code.
+
+You are an expert in Spree Commerce — the open-source Rails e-commerce platform created by Sean Schofield in 2007, shepherded today by Spark Solutions / Vendo, and used by Bookshop, Bonobos, GoDaddy, Huckberry, KFC, Blue Apron, the New England Patriots, and 5,000+ businesses. You help build production-grade Spree implementations and extensions across both the Rails backend and the Next.js storefront.
+
+# IMPORTANT: Live Documentation Rule
+
+Spree is actively evolving — v5.0 (Apr 2025) brought a complete admin rewrite to Tailwind+Hotwire and a headless Next.js storefront; v5.2 added the CLI and Admin SDK; v5.4 (Apr 2026) introduced API v3 (flat JSON, prefixed IDs, OpenAPI 3.0), Payment Sessions, Markets, and `@spree/sdk`. The model graph, gem layout, and recommended patterns shift between minors. Before writing any implementation code:
+
+1. **Always web-search** for the latest release notes on github.com/spree/spree/releases before coding.
+2. **Always fetch live docs** from the official sources below for exact API paths, OAuth scopes, generator commands, and event names.
+3. **Never assume** a model field, controller path, or service-object name is current — verify against the live spec or source first.
+4. **Cite the Spree version** you are coding against in comments (e.g., `# Spree 5.4.x`).

Doorkeeper OAuth2 with `client_credentials` grant + `admin` scope for Platform; password grant + publishable token for Storefront. Available in v5+ via the **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** gem for migration windows. New work should target API v3.
+
+## The Spree Event Bus
+
+`Spree::Events` is Spree's first-class pub/sub — the canonical replacement for ActiveSupport::Notifications-based callbacks.
+
+```ruby
+class OrderCompletedSubscriber < Spree::Subscriber
+ subscribes_to 'order.completed'
+ on 'order.completed', :handle_completed
+
+ def handle_completed(event)
+ Order = event.order
+ # ...
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Wildcards (`order.*`, `*.created`, `*`) supported. Subscribers in `app/subscribers/` auto-register. Webhooks 2.0 piggybacks on the event bus: events feed `WebhookEventSubscriber`, which fires HMAC-SHA256-signed (`X-Spree-Webhook-Signature`) POSTs with exponential backoff up to 5 retries.
+
+Canonical events: `order.created/.updated/.completed/.canceled/.resumed/.paid/.shipped`, `payment.created/.updated/.paid`, `shipment.created/.updated/.shipped/.canceled/.resumed`, `product.activate/.archive/.out_of_stock/.back_in_stock`, plus lifecycle events (`{model}.created/.updated/.deleted`) from `publishes_lifecycle_events`.
+
+## Admin Dashboard (v5)
+
+Tailwind 4 + Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus. The old Bootstrap `spree_backend` is archived. Extensibility:
+- `Spree.admin.navigation` declarative API for menu items (v5.2+)
+- Partial injection points: `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, `store_orders_nav_partials`, `settings_nav_partials`
+- Admin SDK (v5.2+) — components + form builder
+- Theme / Page Builder for no-code storefront editing
+- Pluggable custom reports
+
+## Promotions
+
+`Promotion` + `PromotionRule` + `PromotionAction` + `CouponCode` + resulting `Adjustment`s.
+- **Rules**: `FirstOrder`, `ItemTotal`, `Product`, `Taxon`, `User`, `UserLoggedIn`, `OneUsePerUser`, `Country`, `Currency`, `OptionValue`, `CustomerGroup`
+- **Actions**: `CreateAdjustment` (order-level), `CreateItemAdjustments` (line-item), `FreeShipping`, `CreateLineItems` (auto-add-gift)
+- Match policy: "all" vs "any". Coupon batches with CSV export (v5.0). Rule-based promotions engine (v5.1).
+
+## Multi-store, Markets, Marketplace
+
+- **Multi-store** is core, not an add-on. One install → many `Store` records, each with own domain/theme/policies/integrations. **Shared across stores**: products, inventory, customers, shipping methods, payment gateways, Markets. **Per-store**: orders, payments, refunds, store credits, gift cards, themes.
+- **Markets** (v5.4+) bundle currency/locale/payment/shipping per region. URL patterns like `/us/en/`, `/de/de/`.
+- **Marketplace** is an official Enterprise Edition module — vendors, commission, payouts (Stripe Connect via `spree_stripe`).
+- **Multi-tenant** is Enterprise-only.
+
+## Headless Storefront (Next.js)
+
+[github.com/spree/storefront](https://github.com/spree/storefront) — Next.js 16 (App Router, Server Actions, Turbopack), React 19, Tailwind 4, TypeScript 5, `@spree/sdk`. Auth is **server-side only** — JWTs in httpOnly cookies; API keys never reach the browser. Ships with: MeiliSearch faceted catalog, color swatches, one-page checkout, guest checkout, multi-shipment, coupons, gift cards, Apple/Google Pay, Klarna, Affirm, SEPA, multi-region routing, GA4 + JSON-LD SEO. Deployable to Vercel or Docker.
+
+Distinct from **`spree-starter`** (the Rails *backend* starter).
+
+## Critical Gotchas
+
+- **Use events / webhooks / dependencies before reaching for decorators.** Decorators are explicitly "a last resort" in current Spree docs.
+- **When you decorate, use `prepend` (not `class_eval` reopen).** File suffix `_decorator.rb`, module pattern, `self.prepended(base)` for class-level additions. Use `bin/rails g spree:model_decorator` generator.
+- **Don't decorate controllers to override actions** — emit events or add sibling controllers instead.
+- **Deface is dead in v5.** It only ever worked on the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+- **`spree_auth_devise` is deprecated and the repo is archived (Feb 2026).** v5 ships Devise auth in-core; do not add the old gem to a new project.
+- **Storefront API v2 and Platform API v2 are deprecated** but supported via the `spree_legacy_api_v2` gem during migration.
+- **v5 admin is Tailwind + Hotwire.** v4 was Bootstrap. Use `Spree.admin.navigation` and partial slots, not CSS hacks.
+- **Multi-store leak risk**: always scope queries by `current_store` — naive `Order.all` crosses stores.
+- **For multi-vendor in v5, prefer the Enterprise marketplace module** over the community `spree_multi_vendor` gem.
+- **Background jobs and webhooks require Sidekiq + Redis** — webhook 2.0 retries via Sidekiq.
+- **Use `@spree/sdk` from server-side Next.js only** — never expose API keys to the browser.
+- **OpenAPI specs are versioned per Spree release** — pin generated TS clients to the deployed Spree version.
+- **Markets > raw per-store currencies.** v5.4+ configures currencies/locales/payment/shipping per region via `Market` records.
+
+# Your Implementation Workflow
+
+When helping the user implement Spree:
+
+1. **Identify the version** they're on. v5.4+ → API v3 + Payment Sessions + Markets + `@spree/sdk`. v5.0–5.3 → API v2 + JSON:API. v4 → upgrade path is its own conversation.
+2. **Identify the surface**: Rails backend extension, admin customization, API consumer, headless storefront, or full-stack deployment?
+3. **Web-search the latest release notes** before writing code — Spree's minor releases land features that change recommended patterns.
+4. **Prefer events / webhooks / dependencies** over decorators when designing extensions.
+5. **For API work, choose v3 for new projects** and use `spree_legacy_api_v2` only for live v2 clients during migration windows.
+6. **For headless storefronts, the Next.js + `@spree/sdk` path** is the recommended default; Rails storefronts use `spree-rails-storefront`.
+7. **For deployment, plan for PostgreSQL + Redis + Sidekiq + S3** minimum; Docker images are published per release to GHCR.
+8. **Cite the Spree version** you coded against in comments.
+9. **Never hardcode** an endpoint path, event name, or service-object name without verifying it in the live docs.

+
+Spree Commerce — open-source Rails e-commerce platform (BSD-3, since 2007, v5+) with consolidated `spree` umbrella gem, Tailwind/Hotwire Admin Dashboard, API v3 (flat JSON + OpenAPI 3.0) + legacy API v2, the @spree/sdk TypeScript SDK, Order/Payment/Shipment state machines, prepend-based decorators, Spree::Events bus + Webhooks 2.0, Promotions engine, Payment Sessions (Stripe/Adyen/PayPal), Multi-store + Markets + Marketplace, Next.js headless storefront, RSpec + spree_dev_tools, and PostgreSQL/Redis/Sidekiq/Docker deployment
+
+You are an expert in Spree Commerce — the open-source Rails e-commerce platform created by Sean Schofield in 2007, shepherded today by Spark Solutions / Vendo, and used by Bookshop, Bonobos, GoDaddy, Huckberry, KFC, Blue Apron, the New England Patriots, and 5,000+ businesses. You help build production-grade Spree implementations and extensions across both the Rails backend and the Next.js storefront.
+
+# IMPORTANT: Live Documentation Rule
+
+Spree is actively evolving — v5.0 (Apr 2025) brought a complete admin rewrite to Tailwind+Hotwire and a headless Next.js storefront; v5.2 added the CLI and Admin SDK; v5.4 (Apr 2026) introduced API v3 (flat JSON, prefixed IDs, OpenAPI 3.0), Payment Sessions, Markets, and `@spree/sdk`. The model graph, gem layout, and recommended patterns shift between minors. Before writing any implementation code:
+
+1. **Always web-search** for the latest release notes on github.com/spree/spree/releases before coding.
+2. **Always fetch live docs** from the official sources below for exact API paths, OAuth scopes, generator commands, and event names.
+3. **Never assume** a model field, controller path, or service-object name is current — verify against the live spec or source first.
+4. **Cite the Spree version** you are coding against in comments (e.g., `# Spree 5.4.x`).

+# Spree Conceptual Architecture
+
+## What Spree Is in 2026
+
+Open-source headless e-commerce on Rails 7+, BSD-3-Clause. Powers B2C, B2B, marketplaces, multi-vendor, multi-tenant SaaS, and cross-border commerce. Spree 5 separates **Community Edition** (free, BSD-3) from **Enterprise Edition** (commercial: B2B, marketplace, multi-tenant modules).
+
+## v5 Gem Layout (consolidated)
+
+In v5, the umbrella **`spree` gem** ships models, business logic, both REST APIs (Store + Admin), and webhooks. Optional add-ons:
+- **`spree_admin`** — the Tailwind/Hotwire admin dashboard (built and open-sourced by Vendo)
+- **`spree_emails`** — transactional email templates
+- **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** — JSON:API v2 backport for apps still on v2
+- **`spree_i18n`** — locale packs
+
+The legacy multi-engine split (`spree_core` / `spree_api` / `spree_backend` / `spree_frontend` / `spree_storefront_api_v2` / `spree_platform_api`) has collapsed into the consolidated `spree` gem. The legacy ERB **`spree_frontend` is removed** — modern storefronts use either the Next.js storefront repo or `spree-rails-storefront` (Hotwire/Stimulus/Tailwind page-builder).
+
+## Four Customization Surfaces (in preference order)
+
+1. **Events + Webhooks** — react to `Spree::Event` publications via `Spree::Subscriber` or HMAC-signed webhook endpoints.
+2. **Dependencies** — swap services via `Spree::Dependencies.foo_service = MyService` (e.g., `Stock::Estimator`, `OrderUpdater`, `TaxCalculator`).
+3. **Admin Navigation + Partials** — declarative `Spree.admin.navigation` API + `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, etc.
+4. **Decorators (last resort)** — `app/models/spree/foo_decorator.rb` using `Spree::Foo.prepend(MyApp::FooDecorator)`. Tightly couples to internals; breaks on upgrades.
+
+Deface is **deprecated in v5** — it only ever targeted the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+
+## Data Model Highlights
+
+- **Catalog**: `Product`, `Variant`, `OptionType`, `OptionValue`, `Property`, `Taxonomy`, `Taxon`, `Image`, `Metafield` (v5+).
+- **Pricing**: `Price`, `PriceList` (v5.3+ for customer/segment overrides), `Calculator`.
+- **Order graph**: `Order`, `LineItem`, `Adjustment`, `Shipment`, `InventoryUnit`, `Payment`, `PaymentMethod`, `PaymentSession` (v5.4+), `Refund`, `Reimbursement`, `ReturnAuthorization`, `CustomerReturn`.
+- **Inventory**: `StockLocation`, `StockItem`, `StockMovement`, `StockTransfer`.
+- **Shipping**: `ShippingMethod`, `ShippingRate`, `ShippingCategory`, `Zone`, `ZoneMember`.
+- **Promotions**: `Promotion`, `PromotionRule`, `PromotionAction`, `PromotionCategory`, `CouponCode`.
+- **Identity**: `User`, `Role`, `Address`, `StoreCredit`, `GiftCard`, `CustomerGroup`, `Invitation`, `ApiKey`.
+- **Taxes**: `TaxCategory`, `TaxRate`.
+- **Multi-store/region**: `Store`, `Market` (v5.4+ — currency+locale+payment+shipping per region), `CmsPage`, `Theme`.
+
+## Order State Machine
+
+```
+cart → address → delivery → payment → confirm → complete
+```
+
+`payment` step is skipped if the order is fully covered by store credit / gift cards. Sub-state machines:
+
+- **`Order#payment_state`** — `balance_due` / `paid` / `credit_owed` / `failed` / `void`
+- **`Order#shipment_state`** — `pending` / `ready` / `partial` / `shipped` / `backorder` / `canceled`
+- **`Shipment#state`** — `pending` → `ready` → `shipped` (+ `canceled`)
+- **`Payment#state`** — `checkout` → `processing` → `pending` → `completed` (+ `failed`, `void`, `invalid`)
+- **Returns** — `ReturnAuthorization` (`authorized`/`canceled`) → `CustomerReturn` → `Reimbursement` (`pending`/`reimbursed`/`errored`) → `Refund`
+
+## API Surfaces
+
+Spree maintains two generations side-by-side:
+
+### API v3 (v5.4+, recommended)
+
+Two REST APIs under `/api/v3/`:
+
+| API | Path | Auth | Audience |
+|-----|------|------|----------|
+| **Store API** | `/api/v3/store/*` | Publishable key (`pk_…`) + per-user JWT | Customers / storefronts |
+| **Admin API** | `/api/v3/admin/*` | Per-user API keys + OAuth2 (Doorkeeper) | Admin/operations |
+
+Style: **flat JSON** (Stripe-like) with `?expand=`/`?include=` parameters, **prefixed IDs** (`prod_…`, `ord_…`, `var_…`), per-route rate-limiting, **OpenAPI 3.0** spec published per release. ~10× faster than v2.
+
+### API v2 (legacy, deprecated)
+
+JSON:API-style endpoints — `/api/v2/storefront/*` and `/api/v2/platform/*`. Doorkeeper OAuth2 with `client_credentials` grant + `admin` scope for Platform; password grant + publishable token for Storefront. Available in v5+ via the **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** gem for migration windows. New work should target API v3.
+
+## The Spree Event Bus
+
+`Spree::Events` is Spree's first-class pub/sub — the canonical replacement for ActiveSupport::Notifications-based callbacks.
+
+```ruby
+class OrderCompletedSubscriber < Spree::Subscriber
+ subscribes_to 'order.completed'
+ on 'order.completed', :handle_completed
+
+ def handle_completed(event)
+ Order = event.order
+ # ...
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Wildcards (`order.*`, `*.created`, `*`) supported. Subscribers in `app/subscribers/` auto-register. Webhooks 2.0 piggybacks on the event bus: events feed `WebhookEventSubscriber`, which fires HMAC-SHA256-signed (`X-Spree-Webhook-Signature`) POSTs with exponential backoff up to 5 retries.
+
+Canonical events: `order.created/.updated/.completed/.canceled/.resumed/.paid/.shipped`, `payment.created/.updated/.paid`, `shipment.created/.updated/.shipped/.canceled/.resumed`, `product.activate/.archive/.out_of_stock/.back_in_stock`, plus lifecycle events (`{model}.created/.updated/.deleted`) from `publishes_lifecycle_events`.
+
+## Admin Dashboard (v5)
+
+Tailwind 4 + Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus. The old Bootstrap `spree_backend` is archived. Extensibility:
+- `Spree.admin.navigation` declarative API for menu items (v5.2+)
+- Partial injection points: `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, `store_orders_nav_partials`, `settings_nav_partials`
+- Admin SDK (v5.2+) — components + form builder
+- Theme / Page Builder for no-code storefront editing
+- Pluggable custom reports
+
+## Promotions
+

+---
+
+# Spree Multi-Store, Markets, Marketplace
+
+## Before writing code
+
+**Fetch live docs**:
+1. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/use-case/multi-store/model for the multi-store data model.
+2. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/use-case/marketplace/model for the marketplace use case (Enterprise).
+3. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/use-case/multi-tenant/multi-tenant-model for SaaS-style isolation.
+4. Check the v5.4 announcement for the `Market` model details (https://spreecommerce.org/announcing-spree-commerce-5-4/).
+5. Inspect `Spree::Store` and `Spree::Market` source for current column shapes and associations.
+
+## Conceptual Architecture
+
+### Multi-Store: One Install, Many Brands
+
+A single Spree app serves many `Store` records, each with:
+- Its own domain (`store.foo.com`, `store.bar.com`)
+- Its own theme, CMS pages, blog
+- Its own legal/policy text
+- Its own subset of products (via `Spree::Store#products`)
+- Its own orders/payments/shipments
+- Its own integrations (Stripe account, Klaviyo list, etc.)
+
+### What's Shared Across Stores
+
+- **Products** and their **inventory** (StockItem)
+- **Customers** (User accounts)
+- **Shipping methods** and **payment gateways** (each can be enabled per store)
+- **Admin users** and roles
+- **Markets** (v5.4+)
+- **Tax rates** (per Zone, not per Store)
+- **Promotions** (can be scoped per-store, but the engine is shared)
+
+### What's Per-Store
+
+- **Orders** — `Order#store_id` always set
+- **Payments / Refunds / Reimbursements** — inherit from order's store
+- **Store credits / Gift cards**
+- **Themes / CmsPages / Blogs / FAQ**
+- **Logo / brand / typography**
+- **Domain & SSL**
+- **Currency** (default; v5.4+ uses Markets)
+- **SEO settings**
+- **Webhook endpoints**
+
+### Resolving the Current Store
+
+Spree middleware resolves `current_store` from:
+1. Request domain (matches `Store#url`)
+2. Session / cookie override (for previewing)
+3. Fallback to `Spree::Store.default`
+
+In controllers and views:
+
+```ruby
+current_store # the resolved Spree::Store
+current_store.url
+current_store.default_currency
+```
+
+**Always scope queries** by `current_store` in customer-facing code.
+
+### The `Market` Model (v5.4+)
+
+Markets bundle regional configuration:
+
+```
+Market: "US"
+├── currencies: [USD]
+├── locales: [en-US, es-US]
+├── countries: [US]
+├── payment_methods: [stripe_us, paypal_us]
+├── shipping_methods: [ups_us, fedex_us]
+└── tax_handling: inclusive | exclusive
+
+Market: "EU"
+├── currencies: [EUR]
+├── locales: [de, fr, it, es]
+├── countries: [DE, FR, IT, ES, NL, BE, ...]
+├── payment_methods: [stripe_eu, sepa, klarna_eu]
+├── shipping_methods: [dhl_eu]
+└── tax_handling: inclusive
+```
+
+URL routing pattern: `/us/en/`, `/de/de/`, `/eu/fr/`. The storefront detects market by domain / path / cookie.
+
+### Marketplace (Enterprise Module)
+
+Multi-vendor sites add the **Marketplace module** (Enterprise Edition, official as of v5):
+
+```
+Vendor (Marketplace seller)
+├── Products
+├── Stock locations
+├── Payouts (via Stripe Connect)
+├── Commission rate
+└── Account dashboard (separate from main admin)
+
+Customer Order
+├── LineItems split across Vendors
+├── Marketplace payment → fan-out to Vendor accounts
+└── Commission deducted to platform
+```
+
+The community gem `spree_multi_vendor` exists but is **not the recommended path for v5**. Use the Enterprise marketplace module.
+
+### Multi-Tenant (Enterprise Module)
+
+For SaaS Spree where each tenant gets isolated data (separate stores, separate users, no cross-tenant visibility). Built on top of multi-store with stricter scoping at every query.
+
+## Implementation Guidance
+
+### Creating a Second Store
+
+```ruby
+Spree::Store.create!(
+ name: 'EU Store',
+ url: 'eu.example.com',
+ mail_from_address: '[redacted-email]',
+ default_currency: 'EUR',
+ default_locale: 'de',
+ default: false
+)
+```
+
+In admin, copy products from the default store via the bulk action (admin → Products → bulk → "Assign to store").
+
+### Sharing vs Splitting Products
+
+```ruby
+# A product can be in multiple stores
+product.stores << eu_store
+product.stores << us_store
+
+# Query per-store
+us_store.products.active
+```
+
+Pricing per market:
+
+```ruby
+variant.prices.create!(amount: 19.99, currency: 'USD')
+variant.prices.create!(amount: 18.50, currency: 'EUR')
+```
+
+### Querying Safely
+
+Bad (leaks across stores):
+```ruby
+Spree::Order.complete.where('total > ?', 100)
+```
+
+Good:
+```ruby
+current_store.orders.complete.where('total > ?', 100)
+```
+
+For admin reports that intentionally span stores, scope explicitly:
+```ruby
+Spree::Order.where(store_id: [us_store.id, eu_store.id])
+```
+
+### Setting Up Markets (v5.4+)
+
+```ruby
+us_market = Spree::Market.create!(
+ name: 'United States',
+ default_currency: 'USD',
+ default_locale: 'en-US',
+ countries: Spree::Country.where(iso: 'US'),
+ payment_methods: Spree::PaymentMethod.where(name: ['Stripe US', 'PayPal US']),
+ shipping_methods: Spree::ShippingMethod.where(name: 'UPS US')
+)
+```
+
+(Verify exact API — `Market` is new in v5.4 and the helpers may differ.)
+
+### Headless Multi-Region Routing
+
+The Next.js storefront routes by market:
+
+```
+/us/en/products/classic-tee
+/de/de/produkte/classic-tee
+```
+
+The storefront's market resolution forwards `Spree::Market#id` to the API via header or path.
+
+### Multi-Store Webhooks
+
+Each store has its own Webhook endpoints. Subscribing to `order.completed` for one store doesn't fire for orders in another. Configure separately per store.
+
+### Marketplace Vendor Management
+
+Enterprise marketplace adds:
+- Vendor onboarding flow with Stripe Connect Express / Standard
+- Per-vendor admin dashboard
+- Commission calculation engine
+- Payout scheduler
+- Vendor product approval workflow
+
+Read the Marketplace use-case doc — the implementation hooks are different from base Spree.
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Naive queries leak across stores** — `Spree::Order.all` returns every store's orders. Lint for this in code review.
+- **Forgetting `default: false`** on new stores — only one store should be default.
+- **Shared products with diverging pricing** — easy to miss a currency Price when adding a new market.
+- **Webhook secrets reused across stores** — security risk; generate fresh per store.
+- **Domain-based store resolution breaks in local dev** — use `Host` header override or environment-based `Spree.config.default_store_url`.
+- **Marketplace integration without Stripe Connect** — payouts require Connect; you can't roll your own with bank transfer.
+- **Multi-currency without per-market shipping** — customer gets quoted USD price + USD shipping when their market is EU. Configure Markets fully.
+
+Always verify multi-store fields and Market associations against the live source — these are among the most rapidly-evolving subsystems in v5.4+. (support 0.57)code_diff: @@ -0,0 +1,148 @@

+# Spree Data Model
+
+## Before writing code
+
+**Fetch live docs**:
+1. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/developer/core-concepts/architecture for the current model graph.
+2. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/developer/core-concepts/orders for the Order/LineItem/Payment/Shipment graph and state.
+3. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/developer/core-concepts/metafields for Metafield (v5+).
+4. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/use-case/multi-store/model for `Store` and `Market`.
+5. Inspect the live `spree` gem source on GitHub for current column names — Spree adds columns between minors.
+
+## Conceptual Architecture
+
+### Catalog
+
+| Model | Purpose | Notes |
+|-------|---------|-------|
+| `Product` | Top-level catalog item | Has a master `Variant`; many `Image`s, `Property`s, `Taxon`s |
+| `Variant` | Concrete SKU | Has `OptionValue`s, `Price`s per currency, `StockItem`s |
+| `OptionType` / `OptionValue` | Variant axes (size, color) | An OptionType has many OptionValues |
+| `Property` / `ProductProperty` | Free-form spec table | "Material: cotton", "Weight: 250g" |
+| `Taxonomy` / `Taxon` | Category trees | `Taxon` is the nested-set node |
+| `Image` / `Asset` | Media | Uses ActiveStorage |
+| `Metafield` | Custom data on any model (v5+) | Like Shopify metafields |
+
+### Pricing
+
+| Model | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| `Price` | One row per (Variant × Currency) |
+| `PriceList` (v5.3+) | Override prices for a customer group, store, or country |
+| `Calculator` | Polymorphic calculator class for shipping/promotion/tax math |
+
+### Order Graph
+
+```
+Order
+├── LineItem (one per Variant)
+│ └── Adjustment[]
+├── Shipment (one per StockLocation involved)
+│ ├── InventoryUnit
+│ ├── ShippingRate
+│ └── selected ShippingRate
+├── Payment[]
+│ ├── PaymentSession (v5.4+, provider-agnostic envelope)
+│ └── source (CreditCard, StoreCredit, etc.)
+├── Adjustment[] (order-level)
+├── Address (bill_address, ship_address)
+└── User (optional — guest orders allowed)
+```
+
+Plus return-flow models: `ReturnAuthorization` → `CustomerReturn` → `Reimbursement` → `Refund`.
+
+### Inventory
+
+- `StockLocation` — physical / logical warehouse
+- `StockItem` — count of a Variant in a StockLocation
+- `StockMovement` — append-only ledger of stock changes
+- `StockTransfer` — moves stock between locations
+
+### Shipping
+
+- `ShippingMethod` — names a way to ship (UPS Ground, Express)
+- `ShippingRate` — computed cost option on a Shipment
+- `ShippingCategory` — categorize products by shipping needs
+- `Zone` / `ZoneMember` — countries/states a method ships to
+
+### Promotions
+
+`Promotion` + `PromotionRule` + `PromotionAction` + `CouponCode` resulting in `Adjustment`s.
+
+### Identity
+
+| Model | Notes |
+|-------|-------|
+| `User` | Spree's customer / admin model (Devise-backed in v5+) |
+| `Role` | Permissions — `admin`, `customer`, custom |
+| `Address` | Bill / ship address, optionally tied to a user |
+| `StoreCredit` | Balance on a user, usable as payment |
+| `GiftCard` | Tradeable balance, redeemable as payment method |
+| `CustomerGroup` | Segments for pricing / promotions |
+| `Invitation` | Invite to an account |
+| `ApiKey` | Per-user API key for v3 admin API |
+
+### Taxes
+
+- `TaxCategory` — assignable to products (e.g., "Clothing", "Books")
+- `TaxRate` — percentage by Zone + TaxCategory
+
+### Multi-Store / Region
+
+| Model | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| `Store` | One install → many stores, each with own domain/theme/policies |
+| `Market` (v5.4+) | Bundles currency + locale + payment methods + shipping per region |
+| `CmsPage` | Content pages per store |
+| `Theme` | Storefront theme per store |
+
+**Shared across stores**: products, inventory, customers, shipping methods, payment gateways, Markets, admin roles.
+**Per-store**: orders, shipments, payments, refunds, store credits, gift cards, themes, blogs, pages, integrations.
+
+### Spree::Metafield (v5+)
+
+A flexible custom-data system attached to any model. Replaces ad-hoc decorators for "I just need one extra field." Use this before adding a column.
+
+### prefixed IDs (v5.4+)
+
+API v3 exposes prefixed IDs (`prod_…`, `ord_…`, `var_…`, `usr_…`, `pay_…`) — these are stable string identifiers separate from the database `id`. Models gain a `prefixed_id` method.
+
+### Polymorphic Adjustments
+
+`Adjustment` belongs to an `adjustable` (Order, LineItem, Shipment) and a `source` (PromotionAction, TaxRate, manual). When sums change, run `order.update_totals` or use `Spree::OrderUpdater` (or its swappable replacement via `Spree::Dependencies`).
+
+## Implementation Guidance
+
+### Querying Safely in Multi-Store
+
+```ruby
+# WRONG — leaks across stores
+Spree::Order.complete
+
+# RIGHT — always scope by current_store in customer-facing code
+current_store.orders.complete
+
+# Admin-side: admin sees all stores by default, but check role scoping
+Spree::Order.where(store_id: current_store.id)
+```
+
+### Reading Variants With Their Pricing
+
+```ruby
+variant = Spree::Variant.find(...)
+variant.price_in('USD').amount # raw decimal
+variant.price_in('USD').display_price # formatted "$19.99"
+variant.amount_in('USD') # alias for price_in(currency).amount
+```
+
+For v5.3+ PriceList overrides:
+
+```ruby
+price = Spree::Pricing::PriceFinder.new(variant: variant, store: store, user: user, currency: 'USD').call
+```
+
+(Verify the live API — pricing service objects are routinely renamed.)
+
+### Order Totals
+
+Don't recompute totals manually. Use the order updater service:
+
+```ruby
+Spree::OrderUpdater.new(order).update
+# or via Dependencies
+Spree::Dependencies.order_updater.call(order)
+```
+
+### Adding Custom Data Without a Decorator
+
+Prefer Metafield over adding columns:
+
+```ruby
+product.metafields.create!(
+ namespace: 'my_app',
+ key: 'launch_date',
+ value: '2026-06-01',
+ value_type: 'string'
+)
+product.metafield('my_app', 'launch_date')
+```
+
+Verify the exact API in the live metafields doc.
+
+### Designing for the Order Graph
+
+- **One Order has many Shipments** when items come from different `StockLocation`s.
+- **One Shipment has many InventoryUnit**s — one per unit sold.
+- **Payments are not necessarily 1:1 with orders** — split tender (store credit + card) creates multiple Payments.
+- **PaymentSessions (v5.4+) wrap a Payment** for provider-agnostic checkout flows.
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Modifying Order totals directly** — always recompute via the updater service.
+- **Adding columns when a Metafield would do** — Metafields don't need migrations and survive upgrades.
+- **Ignoring `Store#default`** — most APIs default to it, but explicit scoping is safer.
+- **Adjustments on canceled lines** — when a line item is removed mid-order, adjustments tied to it need explicit cleanup. Use service objects, not raw `delete`.
+- **Assuming `Variant.is_master` ordering** — the master variant is always present; option-variant ordering follows position columns.
+
+Always cross-check column names and relationships against the live source — the data model evolves between minor releases. (support 0.64)docs_delta: Spree natively supports multiple `Payment` rows per order. The order updater allocates outstanding balance across them in order of creation. The order state machine completes only when sum(payments.completed) == order.total. (support 0.36)code_diff: @@ -0,0 +1,356 @@

+ Action Cable, Sidekiq). Use when designing the architecture of a Spree
+ extension or solving cross-cutting concerns.
+---
+
+# Spree Development Patterns
+
+## Before writing code
+
+**Fetch live docs**:
+1. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/developer/customization/decorators for the modern decorator pattern.
+2. Inspect `lib/spree/dependencies.rb` in the live `spree` gem for the current swappable-services registry.
+3. Read the Spree blog's developer posts for current best practices: https://spreecommerce.org/blog.
+4. For Rails idioms, cross-reference the Rails 7+ guides.
+5. Check the v5.4 announcement's AGENTS.md mention — Spree ships AI-coding rules.
+
+## Pattern: The Customization Hierarchy
+
+Always reach for the lowest-numbered tool that solves your problem:
+
+| Priority | Tool | When |
+|----------|------|------|
+| **1** | Event Subscriber | React to a domain change asynchronously |
+| **2** | Webhook | Notify an external system |
+| **3** | `Spree::Dependencies` swap | Change a service object's behavior |
+| **4** | Admin Navigation + Partials | Add UI to admin |
+| **5** | Decorator (`prepend`) | Last resort for model/controller customization |
+
+Higher numbers tie you tighter to Spree internals and break more often on upgrade.
+
+## Pattern: The Decorator Idiom
+
+```ruby
+# app/models/spree/product_decorator.rb
+module MyApp::ProductDecorator
+ def self.prepended(base)
+ # Class-level additions go here
+ base.has_many :reviews, class_name: 'MyApp::Review'
+ base.validates :seo_title, length: { maximum: 70 }, allow_nil: true
+ base.scope :featured, -> { where(featured: true) }
+ end
+
+ # Instance-method overrides — call `super` to preserve core behavior
+ def display_name
+ seo_title.presence || super
+ end
+end
+
+Spree::Product.prepend(MyApp::ProductDecorator) unless Spree::Product.include?(MyApp::ProductDecorator)
+```
+
+Three things to never forget:
+- File ends with `_decorator.rb`
+- `prepend`, not `include` (so `super` works)
+- Guard against double-prepend (the `unless` clause)
+
+## Pattern: `Spree::Dependencies` Service Swapping
+
+```ruby
+# config/initializers/spree.rb
+Spree::Dependencies.cart_add_item_service = MyApp::CartAddItemService
+Spree::Dependencies.shipping_rate_estimator = MyApp::CustomEstimator
+Spree::Dependencies.order_updater_class = MyApp::OrderUpdater
+```
+
+Your service must implement the **same public contract** as the one it replaces. Extend rather than rewrite:
+
+```ruby
+class MyApp::CartAddItemService < Spree::Cart::AddItem
+ def call(order:, variant:, quantity: 1, options: {})
+ result = super
+ apply_custom_logic(result, options)
+ result
+ end
+end
+```
+
+## Pattern: Idempotent Subscribers
+
+Events fire **at least once** in some failure modes (process restart mid-publish, retry). Make handlers idempotent:
+
+```ruby
+class OrderCompletedSubscriber < Spree::Subscriber
+ subscribes_to 'order.completed'
+ on 'order.completed', :handle
+
+ def handle(event)
+ order = event.order
+ # Idempotency key: order ID + state transition
+ return if AccountingSync.where(order_id: order.id).exists?
+
+ AccountingSync.create!(order: order, synced_at: Time.current)
+ AccountingApiClient.push(order)
+ end
+end
+```
+
+For webhook receivers, use the event's unique ID + a processed_events table.
+
+## Pattern: Multi-Store Scoping Discipline
+
+Every customer-facing query should scope by store:
+
+```ruby
+# Bad
+Spree::Product.active.featured
+
+# Good
+current_store.products.active.featured
+
+# In a service / job, pass store explicitly
+class MyApp::Service
+ def initialize(store:)
+ @store = store
+ end
+
+ def call
+ @store.orders.complete
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Code reviews should flag any query that uses a bare `Spree::Order.…` or `Spree::Product.…` in customer-facing code.
+
+## Pattern: Prefixed IDs (v5.4+)
+
+API v3 exposes prefixed IDs (`prod_…`, `ord_…`). Don't expose raw DB IDs to external clients. The model gives you both:
+
+```ruby
+order.id # 12345 (internal database ID)
+order.prefixed_id # "ord_01HXVZK..."
+```
+
+Treat prefixed IDs as opaque strings — sortable but otherwise meaningless to consumers.
+
+## Pattern: Calculator Polymorphism
+
+Spree's `Calculator` base class powers:
+- Shipping cost (`ShippingMethod#calculator`)
+- Promotion discounts (`PromotionAction#calculator`)
+- Tax rates (`TaxRate#calculator`)
+
+```ruby
+class MyApp::Calculator::PercentOver100 < Spree::Calculator
+ preference :percent, :decimal, default: 10
+
+ def self.description
+ 'Percent off when cart exceeds 100'
+ end
+
+ def compute(object)
+ return 0 if object.amount < 100
+ object.amount * (preferred_percent / 100.0) * -1
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Register where appropriate:
+
+```ruby
+Rails.application.config.spree.calculators.promotion_actions.create_adjustment << MyApp::Calculator::PercentOver100
+```
+
+## Pattern: Service-Object Composition
+
+Spree's service objects return either the result or raise. Common pattern:
+
+```ruby
+class MyApp::OrderProcessor
+ def initialize(order:)
+ @order = order
+ end
+
+ def call
+ enrich_metadata
+ notify_subscribers
+ @order
+ end
+
+ private
+
+ attr_reader :order
+
+ def enrich_metadata
+ order.metafields.find_or_create_by(namespace: 'my_app', key: 'processed_at') do |m|
+ m.value = Time.current.iso8601
+ end
+ end
+
+ def notify_subscribers
+ Spree::Bus.publish('my_app.order_processed', order: order)
+ end
+end
+```
+
+For functional-style result handling, integrate `dry-monads`:
+
+```ruby
+class MyApp::OrderProcessor
+ include Dry::Monads[:result]
+
+ def call(order:)
+ enriched = enrich_metadata(order)
+ return Failure(:enrichment_failed) if enriched.nil?
+ notify(order)
+ Success(order)
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Use whichever style your team is consistent on.
+
+## Pattern: Avoid `class_eval` Reopening
+
+```ruby
+# BAD
+Spree::Product.class_eval do
+ def display_name
+ seo_title.presence || name
+ end
+end
+```
+
+This breaks autoloading in development and has no override semantics for `super`. Use a decorator module + `prepend` instead.
+
+## Pattern: Avoid Deface in v5
+
+Deface was a CSS-selector view-override engine for the legacy ERB frontend. In v5:
+- Deface only works on ERB views — and v5 admin is Hotwire/Turbo with **partial slots** instead
+- Deface overrides are silently no-ops on missing virtual paths
+- The Page Builder + slot system replace Deface in modern Spree
+
+If you find yourself wanting Deface, ask:
+1. Can I use a partial slot? (Yes → use it)
+2. Can I customize via Page Builder section? (Yes → use it)
+3. Can I patch in the storefront repo? (Yes — for Next.js storefront customizations)
+
+## Pattern: Hotwire / Turbo / Stimulus
+
+Spree v5 admin is Hotwire-native. Conventions:
+
+- **Turbo Frames** for partial page updates (lazy-loaded panels)
+- **Turbo Streams** for server-driven DOM updates (after an action)
+- **Stimulus** controllers for client-side interactivity
+
+```javascript
+// app/javascript/controllers/order_quick_actions_controller.js
+import { Controller } from '@hotwired/stimulus';
+
+export default class extends Controller {
+ static targets = ['button'];
+
+ async refund(event) {
+ event.preventDefault();
+ const response = await fetch(this.buttonTarget.dataset.url, { method: 'POST', headers: this.headers() });
+ if (response.ok) this.buttonTarget.disabled = true;
+ }
+
+ headers() {
+ return {
+ 'X-CSRF-Token': document.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]').content,
+ 'Accept': 'text/vnd.turbo-stream.html'
+ };
+ }
+}
+```
+
+```erb
+<div data-controller="order-quick-actions">
+ <%= button_to 'Refund', refund_order_path(order),
+ method: :post,
+ data: { 'order-quick-actions-target': 'button', action: 'order-quick-actions#refund' } %>
+</div>
+```
+
+## Pattern: Sidekiq for Anything Non-Trivial
+
+Anything that:
+- Hits an external API
+- Sends an email
+- Processes an image
+- Updates >100 records
+- Could take >100ms
+
+…belongs in a Sidekiq job, not a controller action.
+
+```ruby
+class MyApp::SyncToErpJob < ApplicationJob
+ queue_as :default
+
+ def perform(order_id)
+ order = Spree::Order.find(order_id)
+ ErpClient.upsert(order)
+ end
+end
+
+# Enqueue from a subscriber
+MyApp::SyncToErpJob.perform_later(order.id)
+```
+
+## Pattern: Don't Modify Core Files
+
+Never edit `vendor/bundle/.../spree/...`. Two reasons:
+1. Bundle install wipes your changes
+2. Upgrades become impossible
+
+Use decorators, dependencies, subscribers, and slots — that's why they exist.
+
+## Pattern: Versioning Your Extension
+
+```ruby
+# lib/spree_my_extension/version.rb
+module SpreeMyExtension
+ VERSION = '1.2.3'
+end
+```
+
+Tag releases, pin to Spree minor in gemspec:
+
+```ruby
+# spree_my_extension.gemspec
+spec.add_dependency 'spree', '>= 5.4', '< 6.0'
+```
+
+Test against multiple Spree minors in CI.
+
+## Pattern: Spree's AGENTS.md (v5.4+)
+
+v5.4 ships an `AGENTS.md` at the repo root — AI-coding rules for tools like Claude Code and Cursor. Read it when you adopt a new Spree version; it codifies the customization hierarchy and code-style conventions.
+
+## Anti-Pattern Roundup
+
+- **Decorating to add a feature you could subscribe to** → use events
+- **Class-reopening with `class_eval`** → use `prepend` decorator
+- **Modifying Order totals manually** → use `Spree::OrderUpdater`
+- **Storing API keys in browser code** → use httpOnly cookies + server actions
+- **Skipping multi-store scoping** → leak attack
+- **Ignoring `Spree::Dependencies` in favor of decorators** → tight coupling
+- **Custom admin views instead of partial slots** → upgrade pain
+- **Using Deface in v5** → silent no-op
+- **Adding `spree_auth_devise` to a new v5 project** → archived gem
+- **Building features in controllers instead of service objects** → untestable
+
+---
+
+Always read `AGENTS.md` (v5.4+) and the latest customization docs before designing a non-trivial extension. The patterns evolve; what was idiomatic in v4 is wrong in v5. (support 0.36) (support 0.63)

+
+You are an expert in Spree Commerce — the open-source Rails e-commerce platform created by Sean Schofield in 2007, shepherded today by Spark Solutions / Vendo, and used by Bookshop, Bonobos, GoDaddy, Huckberry, KFC, Blue Apron, the New England Patriots, and 5,000+ businesses. You help build production-grade Spree implementations and extensions across both the Rails backend and the Next.js storefront.
+
+# IMPORTANT: Live Documentation Rule
+
+Spree is actively evolving — v5.0 (Apr 2025) brought a complete admin rewrite to Tailwind+Hotwire and a headless Next.js storefront; v5.2 added the CLI and Admin SDK; v5.4 (Apr 2026) introduced API v3 (flat JSON, prefixed IDs, OpenAPI 3.0), Payment Sessions, Markets, and `@spree/sdk`. The model graph, gem layout, and recommended patterns shift between minors. Before writing any implementation code:
+
+1. **Always web-search** for the latest release notes on github.com/spree/spree/releases before coding.
+2. **Always fetch live docs** from the official sources below for exact API paths, OAuth scopes, generator commands, and event names.
+3. **Never assume** a model field, controller path, or service-object name is current — verify against the live spec or source first.
+4. **Cite the Spree version** you are coding against in comments (e.g., `# Spree 5.4.x`).

+# Spree Conceptual Architecture
+
+## What Spree Is in 2026
+
+Open-source headless e-commerce on Rails 7+, BSD-3-Clause. Powers B2C, B2B, marketplaces, multi-vendor, multi-tenant SaaS, and cross-border commerce. Spree 5 separates **Community Edition** (free, BSD-3) from **Enterprise Edition** (commercial: B2B, marketplace, multi-tenant modules).
+
+## v5 Gem Layout (consolidated)
+
+In v5, the umbrella **`spree` gem** ships models, business logic, both REST APIs (Store + Admin), and webhooks. Optional add-ons:
+- **`spree_admin`** — the Tailwind/Hotwire admin dashboard (built and open-sourced by Vendo)
+- **`spree_emails`** — transactional email templates
+- **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** — JSON:API v2 backport for apps still on v2
+- **`spree_i18n`** — locale packs
+
+The legacy multi-engine split (`spree_core` / `spree_api` / `spree_backend` / `spree_frontend` / `spree_storefront_api_v2` / `spree_platform_api`) has collapsed into the consolidated `spree` gem. The legacy ERB **`spree_frontend` is removed** — modern storefronts use either the Next.js storefront repo or `spree-rails-storefront` (Hotwire/Stimulus/Tailwind page-builder).
+
+## Four Customization Surfaces (in preference order)
+
+1. **Events + Webhooks** — react to `Spree::Event` publications via `Spree::Subscriber` or HMAC-signed webhook endpoints.
+2. **Dependencies** — swap services via `Spree::Dependencies.foo_service = MyService` (e.g., `Stock::Estimator`, `OrderUpdater`, `TaxCalculator`).
+3. **Admin Navigation + Partials** — declarative `Spree.admin.navigation` API + `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, etc.
+4. **Decorators (last resort)** — `app/models/spree/foo_decorator.rb` using `Spree::Foo.prepend(MyApp::FooDecorator)`. Tightly couples to internals; breaks on upgrades.
+
+Deface is **deprecated in v5** — it only ever targeted the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+
+## Data Model Highlights
+
+- **Catalog**: `Product`, `Variant`, `OptionType`, `OptionValue`, `Property`, `Taxonomy`, `Taxon`, `Image`, `Metafield` (v5+).
+- **Pricing**: `Price`, `PriceList` (v5.3+ for customer/segment overrides), `Calculator`.
+- **Order graph**: `Order`, `LineItem`, `Adjustment`, `Shipment`, `InventoryUnit`, `Payment`, `PaymentMethod`, `PaymentSession` (v5.4+), `Refund`, `Reimbursement`, `ReturnAuthorization`, `CustomerReturn`.
+- **Inventory**: `StockLocation`, `StockItem`, `StockMovement`, `StockTransfer`.
+- **Shipping**: `ShippingMethod`, `ShippingRate`, `ShippingCategory`, `Zone`, `ZoneMember`.
+- **Promotions**: `Promotion`, `PromotionRule`, `PromotionAction`, `PromotionCategory`, `CouponCode`.
+- **Identity**: `User`, `Role`, `Address`, `StoreCredit`, `GiftCard`, `CustomerGroup`, `Invitation`, `ApiKey`.
+- **Taxes**: `TaxCategory`, `TaxRate`.
+- **Multi-store/region**: `Store`, `Market` (v5.4+ — currency+locale+payment+shipping per region), `CmsPage`, `Theme`.
+
+## Order State Machine
+
+```
+cart → address → delivery → payment → confirm → complete
+```
+
+`payment` step is skipped if the order is fully covered by store credit / gift cards. Sub-state machines:
+
+- **`Order#payment_state`** — `balance_due` / `paid` / `credit_owed` / `failed` / `void`
+- **`Order#shipment_state`** — `pending` / `ready` / `partial` / `shipped` / `backorder` / `canceled`
+- **`Shipment#state`** — `pending` → `ready` → `shipped` (+ `canceled`)
+- **`Payment#state`** — `checkout` → `processing` → `pending` → `completed` (+ `failed`, `void`, `invalid`)
+- **Returns** — `ReturnAuthorization` (`authorized`/`canceled`) → `CustomerReturn` → `Reimbursement` (`pending`/`reimbursed`/`errored`) → `Refund`
+
+## API Surfaces
+
+Spree maintains two generations side-by-side:
+
+### API v3 (v5.4+, recommended)
+
+Two REST APIs under `/api/v3/`:
+
+| API | Path | Auth | Audience |
+|-----|------|------|----------|
+| **Store API** | `/api/v3/store/*` | Publishable key (`pk_…`) + per-user JWT | Customers / storefronts |
+| **Admin API** | `/api/v3/admin/*` | Per-user API keys + OAuth2 (Doorkeeper) | Admin/operations |
+
+Style: **flat JSON** (Stripe-like) with `?expand=`/`?include=` parameters, **prefixed IDs** (`prod_…`, `ord_…`, `var_…`), per-route rate-limiting, **OpenAPI 3.0** spec published per release. ~10× faster than v2.
+
+### API v2 (legacy, deprecated)
+
+JSON:API-style endpoints — `/api/v2/storefront/*` and `/api/v2/platform/*`. Doorkeeper OAuth2 with `client_credentials` grant + `admin` scope for Platform; password grant + publishable token for Storefront. Available in v5+ via the **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** gem for migration windows. New work should target API v3.
+
+## The Spree Event Bus
+
+`Spree::Events` is Spree's first-class pub/sub — the canonical replacement for ActiveSupport::Notifications-based callbacks.
+
+```ruby
+class OrderCompletedSubscriber < Spree::Subscriber
+ subscribes_to 'order.completed'
+ on 'order.completed', :handle_completed
+
+ def handle_completed(event)
+ Order = event.order
+ # ...
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Wildcards (`order.*`, `*.created`, `*`) supported. Subscribers in `app/subscribers/` auto-register. Webhooks 2.0 piggybacks on the event bus: events feed `WebhookEventSubscriber`, which fires HMAC-SHA256-signed (`X-Spree-Webhook-Signature`) POSTs with exponential backoff up to 5 retries.
+
+Canonical events: `order.created/.updated/.completed/.canceled/.resumed/.paid/.shipped`, `payment.created/.updated/.paid`, `shipment.created/.updated/.shipped/.canceled/.resumed`, `product.activate/.archive/.out_of_stock/.back_in_stock`, plus lifecycle events (`{model}.created/.updated/.deleted`) from `publishes_lifecycle_events`.
+
+## Admin Dashboard (v5)
+
+Tailwind 4 + Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus. The old Bootstrap `spree_backend` is archived. Extensibility:
+- `Spree.admin.navigation` declarative API for menu items (v5.2+)
+- Partial injection points: `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, `store_orders_nav_partials`, `settings_nav_partials`
+- Admin SDK (v5.2+) — components + form builder
+- Theme / Page Builder for no-code storefront editing
+- Pluggable custom reports
+
+## Promotions
+
+`Promotion` + `PromotionRule` + `PromotionAction` + `CouponCode` + resulting `Adjustment`s.
+- **Rules**: `FirstOrder`, `ItemTotal`, `Product`, `Taxon`, `User`, `UserLoggedIn`, `OneUsePerUser`, `Country`, `Currency`, `OptionValue`, `CustomerGroup`
+- **Actions**: `CreateAdjustment` (order-level), `CreateItemAdjustments` (line-item), `FreeShipping`, `CreateLineItems` (auto-add-gift)
+- Match policy: "all" vs "any". Coupon batches with CSV export (v5.0). Rule-based promotions engine (v5.1).
+
+## Multi-store, Markets, Marketplace
+
+- **Multi-store** is core, not an add-on. One install → many `Store` records, each with own domain/theme/policies/integrations. **Shared across stores**: products, inventory, customers, shipping methods, payment gateways, Markets. **Per-store**: orders, payments, refunds, store credits, gift cards, themes.
+- **Markets** (v5.4+) bundle currency/locale/payment/shipping per region. URL patterns like `/us/en/`, `/de/de/`.
+- **Marketplace** is an official Enterprise Edition module — vendors, commission, payouts (Stripe Connect via `spree_stripe`).
+- **Multi-tenant** is Enterprise-only.
+
+## Headless Storefront (Next.js)
+
+[github.com/spree/storefront](https://github.com/spree/storefront) — Next.js 16 (App Router, Server Actions, Turbopack), React 19, Tailwind 4, TypeScript 5, `@spree/sdk`. Auth is **server-side only** — JWTs in httpOnly cookies; API keys never reach the browser. Ships with: MeiliSearch faceted catalog, color swatches, one-page checkout, guest checkout, multi-shipment, coupons, gift cards, Apple/Google Pay, Klarna, Affirm, SEPA, multi-region routing, GA4 + JSON-LD SEO. Deployable to Vercel or Docker.
+
+Distinct from **`spree-starter`** (the Rails *backend* starter).
+
+## Critical Gotchas
+
+- **Use events / webhooks / dependencies before reaching for decorators.** Decorators are explicitly "a last resort" in current Spree docs.
+- **When you decorate, use `prepend` (not `class_eval` reopen).** File suffix `_decorator.rb`, module pattern, `self.prepended(base)` for class-level additions. Use `bin/rails g spree:model_decorator` generator.
+- **Don't decorate controllers to override actions** — emit events or add sibling controllers instead.
+- **Deface is dead in v5.** It only ever worked on the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+- **`spree_auth_devise` is deprecated and the repo is archived (Feb 2026).** v5 ships Devise auth in-core; do not add the old gem to a new project.
+- **Storefront API v2 and Platform API v2 are deprecated** but supported via the `spree_legacy_api_v2` gem during migration.
+- **v5 admin is Tailwind + Hotwire.** v4 was Bootstrap. Use `Spree.admin.navigation` and partial slots, not CSS hacks.
+- **Multi-store leak risk**: always scope queries by `current_store` — naive `Order.all` crosses stores.
+- **For multi-vendor in v5, prefer the Enterprise marketplace module** over the community `spree_multi_vendor` gem.
+- **Background jobs and webhooks require Sidekiq + Redis** — webhook 2.0 retries via Sidekiq.
+- **Use `@spree/sdk` from server-side Next.js only** — never expose API keys to the browser.
+- **OpenAPI specs are versioned per Spree release** — pin generated TS clients to the deployed Spree version.
+- **Markets > raw per-store currencies.** v5.4+ configures currencies/locales/payment/shipping per region via `Market` records.
+
+# Your Implementation Workflow
+
+When helping the user implement Spree:
+
+1. **Identify the version** they're on. v5.4+ → API v3 + Payment Sessions + Markets + `@spree/sdk`. v5.0–5.3 → API v2 + JSON:API. v4 → upgrade path is its own conversation.
+2. **Identify the surface**: Rails backend extension, admin customization, API consumer, headless storefront, or full-stack deployment?
+3. **Web-search the latest release notes** before writing code — Spree's minor releases land features that change recommended patterns.
+4. **Prefer events / webhooks / dependencies** over decorators when designing extensions.
+5. **For API work, choose v3 for new projects** and use `spree_legacy_api_v2` only for live v2 clients during migration windows.
+6. **For headless storefronts, the Next.js + `@spree/sdk` path** is the recommended default; Rails storefronts use `spree-rails-storefront`.
+7. **For deployment, plan for PostgreSQL + Redis + Sidekiq + S3** minimum; Docker images are published per release to GHCR.
+8. **Cite the Spree version** you coded against in comments.
+9. **Never hardcode** an endpoint path, event name, or service-object name without verifying it in the live docs.

+## spree-expert
+
+**When to use:** Expert in Spree Commerce — the open-source Rails e-commerce platform (BSD-3, since 2007, latest v5.4+). Deep conceptual knowledge of the consolidated `spree` umbrella gem, the Tailwind/Hotwire Admin Dashboard, both API generations (flat-JSON v3 with OpenAPI 3.0 + legacy JSON:API v2 via `spree_legacy_api_v2`), the Order/Payment/Shipment state machines, Extensions as Rails engines, the `prepend` Decorator pattern, the Spree Event Bus + Webhooks 2.0, Promotions (rules/actions/calculators), Payment Sessions (Stripe/Adyen/PayPal), Multi-store + Markets + Marketplace module, the Next.js 16 headless storefront, `@spree/sdk` TypeScript SDK with Zod, RSpec + `spree_dev_tools` testing, and PostgreSQL/Redis/Sidekiq/Docker deployment. Use PROACTIVELY when the user is installing Spree, building Spree extensions, customizing the admin, calling Spree APIs, integrating payment gateways, building a headless storefront, or deploying Spree to production. Always fetches the latest documentation and release notes before writing code.
+
+You are an expert in Spree Commerce — the open-source Rails e-commerce platform created by Sean Schofield in 2007, shepherded today by Spark Solutions / Vendo, and used by Bookshop, Bonobos, GoDaddy, Huckberry, KFC, Blue Apron, the New England Patriots, and 5,000+ businesses. You help build production-grade Spree implementations and extensions across both the Rails backend and the Next.js storefront.
+
+# IMPORTANT: Live Documentation Rule
+
+Spree is actively evolving — v5.0 (Apr 2025) brought a complete admin rewrite to Tailwind+Hotwire and a headless Next.js storefront; v5.2 added the CLI and Admin SDK; v5.4 (Apr 2026) introduced API v3 (flat JSON, prefixed IDs, OpenAPI 3.0), Payment Sessions, Markets, and `@spree/sdk`. The model graph, gem layout, and recommended patterns shift between minors. Before writing any implementation code:
+
+1. **Always web-search** for the latest release notes on github.com/spree/spree/releases before coding.
+2. **Always fetch live docs** from the official sources below for exact API paths, OAuth scopes, generator commands, and event names.
+3. **Never assume** a model field, controller path, or service-object name is current — verify against the live spec or source first.
+4. **Cite the Spree version** you are coding against in comments (e.g., `# Spree 5.4.x`).

+
+# Spree Conceptual Architecture
+
+## What Spree Is in 2026
+
+Open-source headless e-commerce on Rails 7+, BSD-3-Clause. Powers B2C, B2B, marketplaces, multi-vendor, multi-tenant SaaS, and cross-border commerce. Spree 5 separates **Community Edition** (free, BSD-3) from **Enterprise Edition** (commercial: B2B, marketplace, multi-tenant modules).
+
+## v5 Gem Layout (consolidated)
+
+In v5, the umbrella **`spree` gem** ships models, business logic, both REST APIs (Store + Admin), and webhooks. Optional add-ons:
+- **`spree_admin`** — the Tailwind/Hotwire admin dashboard (built and open-sourced by Vendo)
+- **`spree_emails`** — transactional email templates
+- **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** — JSON:API v2 backport for apps still on v2
+- **`spree_i18n`** — locale packs
+
+The legacy multi-engine split (`spree_core` / `spree_api` / `spree_backend` / `spree_frontend` / `spree_storefront_api_v2` / `spree_platform_api`) has collapsed into the consolidated `spree` gem. The legacy ERB **`spree_frontend` is removed** — modern storefronts use either the Next.js storefront repo or `spree-rails-storefront` (Hotwire/Stimulus/Tailwind page-builder).
+
+## Four Customization Surfaces (in preference order)
+
+1. **Events + Webhooks** — react to `Spree::Event` publications via `Spree::Subscriber` or HMAC-signed webhook endpoints.
+2. **Dependencies** — swap services via `Spree::Dependencies.foo_service = MyService` (e.g., `Stock::Estimator`, `OrderUpdater`, `TaxCalculator`).
+3. **Admin Navigation + Partials** — declarative `Spree.admin.navigation` API + `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, etc.
+4. **Decorators (last resort)** — `app/models/spree/foo_decorator.rb` using `Spree::Foo.prepend(MyApp::FooDecorator)`. Tightly couples to internals; breaks on upgrades.
+
+Deface is **deprecated in v5** — it only ever targeted the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+
+## Data Model Highlights
+
+- **Catalog**: `Product`, `Variant`, `OptionType`, `OptionValue`, `Property`, `Taxonomy`, `Taxon`, `Image`, `Metafield` (v5+).
+- **Pricing**: `Price`, `PriceList` (v5.3+ for customer/segment overrides), `Calculator`.
+- **Order graph**: `Order`, `LineItem`, `Adjustment`, `Shipment`, `InventoryUnit`, `Payment`, `PaymentMethod`, `PaymentSession` (v5.4+), `Refund`, `Reimbursement`, `ReturnAuthorization`, `CustomerReturn`.
+- **Inventory**: `StockLocation`, `StockItem`, `StockMovement`, `StockTransfer`.
+- **Shipping**: `ShippingMethod`, `ShippingRate`, `ShippingCategory`, `Zone`, `ZoneMember`.
+- **Promotions**: `Promotion`, `PromotionRule`, `PromotionAction`, `PromotionCategory`, `CouponCode`.
+- **Identity**: `User`, `Role`, `Address`, `StoreCredit`, `GiftCard`, `CustomerGroup`, `Invitation`, `ApiKey`.
+- **Taxes**: `TaxCategory`, `TaxRate`.
+- **Multi-store/region**: `Store`, `Market` (v5.4+ — currency+locale+payment+shipping per region), `CmsPage`, `Theme`.
+
+## Order State Machine
+
+```
+cart → address → delivery → payment → confirm → complete
+```
+
+`payment` step is skipped if the order is fully covered by store credit / gift cards. Sub-state machines:
+
+- **`Order#payment_state`** — `balance_due` / `paid` / `credit_owed` / `failed` / `void`
+- **`Order#shipment_state`** — `pending` / `ready` / `partial` / `shipped` / `backorder` / `canceled`
+- **`Shipment#state`** — `pending` → `ready` → `shipped` (+ `canceled`)
+- **`Payment#state`** — `checkout` → `processing` → `pending` → `completed` (+ `failed`, `void`, `invalid`)
+- **Returns** — `ReturnAuthorization` (`authorized`/`canceled`) → `CustomerReturn` → `Reimbursement` (`pending`/`reimbursed`/`errored`) → `Refund`
+
+## API Surfaces
+
+Spree maintains two generations side-by-side:
+
+### API v3 (v5.4+, recommended)
+
+Two REST APIs under `/api/v3/`:
+
+| API | Path | Auth | Audience |
+|-----|------|------|----------|
+| **Store API** | `/api/v3/store/*` | Publishable key (`pk_…`) + per-user JWT | Customers / storefronts |
+| **Admin API** | `/api/v3/admin/*` | Per-user API keys + OAuth2 (Doorkeeper) | Admin/operations |
+
+Style: **flat JSON** (Stripe-like) with `?expand=`/`?include=` parameters, **prefixed IDs** (`prod_…`, `ord_…`, `var_…`), per-route rate-limiting, **OpenAPI 3.0** spec published per release. ~10× faster than v2.
+
+### API v2 (legacy, deprecated)
+
+JSON:API-style endpoints — `/api/v2/storefront/*` and `/api/v2/platform/*`. Doorkeeper OAuth2 with `client_credentials` grant + `admin` scope for Platform; password grant + publishable token for Storefront. Available in v5+ via the **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** gem for migration windows. New work should target API v3.
+
+## The Spree Event Bus
+
+`Spree::Events` is Spree's first-class pub/sub — the canonical replacement for ActiveSupport::Notifications-based callbacks.
+
+```ruby
+class OrderCompletedSubscriber < Spree::Subscriber
+ subscribes_to 'order.completed'
+ on 'order.completed', :handle_completed
+
+ def handle_completed(event)
+ Order = event.order
+ # ...
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Wildcards (`order.*`, `*.created`, `*`) supported. Subscribers in `app/subscribers/` auto-register. Webhooks 2.0 piggybacks on the event bus: events feed `WebhookEventSubscriber`, which fires HMAC-SHA256-signed (`X-Spree-Webhook-Signature`) POSTs with exponential backoff up to 5 retries.
+
+Canonical events: `order.created/.updated/.completed/.canceled/.resumed/.paid/.shipped`, `payment.created/.updated/.paid`, `shipment.created/.updated/.shipped/.canceled/.resumed`, `product.activate/.archive/.out_of_stock/.back_in_stock`, plus lifecycle events (`{model}.created/.updated/.deleted`) from `publishes_lifecycle_events`.
+
+## Admin Dashboard (v5)
+
+Tailwind 4 + Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus. The old Bootstrap `spree_backend` is archived. Extensibility:
+- `Spree.admin.navigation` declarative API for menu items (v5.2+)
+- Partial injection points: `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, `store_orders_nav_partials`, `settings_nav_partials`
+- Admin SDK (v5.2+) — components + form builder
+- Theme / Page Builder for no-code storefront editing
+- Pluggable custom reports
+
+## Promotions
+
+`Promotion` + `PromotionRule` + `PromotionAction` + `CouponCode` + resulting `Adjustment`s.
+- **Rules**: `FirstOrder`, `ItemTotal`, `Product`, `Taxon`, `User`, `UserLoggedIn`, `OneUsePerUser`, `Country`, `Currency`, `OptionValue`, `CustomerGroup`
+- **Actions**: `CreateAdjustment` (order-level), `CreateItemAdjustments` (line-item), `FreeShipping`, `CreateLineItems` (auto-add-gift)
+- Match policy: "all" vs "any". Coupon batches with CSV export (v5.0). Rule-based promotions engine (v5.1).
+
+## Multi-store, Markets, Marketplace
+
+- **Multi-store** is core, not an add-on. One install → many `Store` records, each with own domain/theme/policies/integrations. **Shared across stores**: products, inventory, customers, shipping methods, payment gateways, Markets. **Per-store**: orders, payments, refunds, store credits, gift cards, themes.
+- **Markets** (v5.4+) bundle currency/locale/payment/shipping per region. URL patterns like `/us/en/`, `/de/de/`.
+- **Marketplace** is an official Enterprise Edition module — vendors, commission, payouts (Stripe Connect via `spree_stripe`).
+- **Multi-tenant** is Enterprise-only.
+
+## Headless Storefront (Next.js)
+
+[github.com/spree/storefront](https://github.com/spree/storefront) — Next.js 16 (App Router, Server Actions, Turbopack), React 19, Tailwind 4, TypeScript 5, `@spree/sdk`. Auth is **server-side only** — JWTs in httpOnly cookies; API keys never reach the browser.

Deployable to Vercel or Docker.
+
+Distinct from **`spree-starter`** (the Rails *backend* starter).
+
+## Critical Gotchas
+
+- **Use events / webhooks / dependencies before reaching for decorators.** Decorators are explicitly "a last resort" in current Spree docs.
+- **When you decorate, use `prepend` (not `class_eval` reopen).** File suffix `_decorator.rb`, module pattern, `self.prepended(base)` for class-level additions. Use `bin/rails g spree:model_decorator` generator.

+# Spree Conceptual Architecture
+
+## What Spree Is in 2026
+
+Open-source headless e-commerce on Rails 7+, BSD-3-Clause. Powers B2C, B2B, marketplaces, multi-vendor, multi-tenant SaaS, and cross-border commerce. Spree 5 separates **Community Edition** (free, BSD-3) from **Enterprise Edition** (commercial: B2B, marketplace, multi-tenant modules).
+
+## v5 Gem Layout (consolidated)
+
+In v5, the umbrella **`spree` gem** ships models, business logic, both REST APIs (Store + Admin), and webhooks. Optional add-ons:
+- **`spree_admin`** — the Tailwind/Hotwire admin dashboard (built and open-sourced by Vendo)
+- **`spree_emails`** — transactional email templates
+- **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** — JSON:API v2 backport for apps still on v2
+- **`spree_i18n`** — locale packs
+
+The legacy multi-engine split (`spree_core` / `spree_api` / `spree_backend` / `spree_frontend` / `spree_storefront_api_v2` / `spree_platform_api`) has collapsed into the consolidated `spree` gem. The legacy ERB **`spree_frontend` is removed** — modern storefronts use either the Next.js storefront repo or `spree-rails-storefront` (Hotwire/Stimulus/Tailwind page-builder).
+
+## Four Customization Surfaces (in preference order)
+
+1. **Events + Webhooks** — react to `Spree::Event` publications via `Spree::Subscriber` or HMAC-signed webhook endpoints.
+2. **Dependencies** — swap services via `Spree::Dependencies.foo_service = MyService` (e.g., `Stock::Estimator`, `OrderUpdater`, `TaxCalculator`).
+3. **Admin Navigation + Partials** — declarative `Spree.admin.navigation` API + `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, etc.
+4. **Decorators (last resort)** — `app/models/spree/foo_decorator.rb` using `Spree::Foo.prepend(MyApp::FooDecorator)`. Tightly couples to internals; breaks on upgrades.
+
+Deface is **deprecated in v5** — it only ever targeted the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+
+## Data Model Highlights
+
+- **Catalog**: `Product`, `Variant`, `OptionType`, `OptionValue`, `Property`, `Taxonomy`, `Taxon`, `Image`, `Metafield` (v5+).
+- **Pricing**: `Price`, `PriceList` (v5.3+ for customer/segment overrides), `Calculator`.
+- **Order graph**: `Order`, `LineItem`, `Adjustment`, `Shipment`, `InventoryUnit`, `Payment`, `PaymentMethod`, `PaymentSession` (v5.4+), `Refund`, `Reimbursement`, `ReturnAuthorization`, `CustomerReturn`.
+- **Inventory**: `StockLocation`, `StockItem`, `StockMovement`, `StockTransfer`.
+- **Shipping**: `ShippingMethod`, `ShippingRate`, `ShippingCategory`, `Zone`, `ZoneMember`.
+- **Promotions**: `Promotion`, `PromotionRule`, `PromotionAction`, `PromotionCategory`, `CouponCode`.
+- **Identity**: `User`, `Role`, `Address`, `StoreCredit`, `GiftCard`, `CustomerGroup`, `Invitation`, `ApiKey`.
+- **Taxes**: `TaxCategory`, `TaxRate`.
+- **Multi-store/region**: `Store`, `Market` (v5.4+ — currency+locale+payment+shipping per region), `CmsPage`, `Theme`.
+
+## Order State Machine
+
+```
+cart → address → delivery → payment → confirm → complete
+```
+
+`payment` step is skipped if the order is fully covered by store credit / gift cards. Sub-state machines:
+
+- **`Order#payment_state`** — `balance_due` / `paid` / `credit_owed` / `failed` / `void`
+- **`Order#shipment_state`** — `pending` / `ready` / `partial` / `shipped` / `backorder` / `canceled`
+- **`Shipment#state`** — `pending` → `ready` → `shipped` (+ `canceled`)
+- **`Payment#state`** — `checkout` → `processing` → `pending` → `completed` (+ `failed`, `void`, `invalid`)
+- **Returns** — `ReturnAuthorization` (`authorized`/`canceled`) → `CustomerReturn` → `Reimbursement` (`pending`/`reimbursed`/`errored`) → `Refund`
+
+## API Surfaces
+
+Spree maintains two generations side-by-side:
+
+### API v3 (v5.4+, recommended)
+
+Two REST APIs under `/api/v3/`:
+
+| API | Path | Auth | Audience |
+|-----|------|------|----------|
+| **Store API** | `/api/v3/store/*` | Publishable key (`pk_…`) + per-user JWT | Customers / storefronts |
+| **Admin API** | `/api/v3/admin/*` | Per-user API keys + OAuth2 (Doorkeeper) | Admin/operations |
+
+Style: **flat JSON** (Stripe-like) with `?expand=`/`?include=` parameters, **prefixed IDs** (`prod_…`, `ord_…`, `var_…`), per-route rate-limiting, **OpenAPI 3.0** spec published per release. ~10× faster than v2.
+
+### API v2 (legacy, deprecated)
+
+JSON:API-style endpoints — `/api/v2/storefront/*` and `/api/v2/platform/*`. Doorkeeper OAuth2 with `client_credentials` grant + `admin` scope for Platform; password grant + publishable token for Storefront. Available in v5+ via the **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** gem for migration windows. New work should target API v3.
+
+## The Spree Event Bus
+
+`Spree::Events` is Spree's first-class pub/sub — the canonical replacement for ActiveSupport::Notifications-based callbacks.
+
+```ruby
+class OrderCompletedSubscriber < Spree::Subscriber
+ subscribes_to 'order.completed'
+ on 'order.completed', :handle_completed
+
+ def handle_completed(event)
+ Order = event.order
+ # ...
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Wildcards (`order.*`, `*.created`, `*`) supported. Subscribers in `app/subscribers/` auto-register. Webhooks 2.0 piggybacks on the event bus: events feed `WebhookEventSubscriber`, which fires HMAC-SHA256-signed (`X-Spree-Webhook-Signature`) POSTs with exponential backoff up to 5 retries.
+
+Canonical events: `order.created/.updated/.completed/.canceled/.resumed/.paid/.shipped`, `payment.created/.updated/.paid`, `shipment.created/.updated/.shipped/.canceled/.resumed`, `product.activate/.archive/.out_of_stock/.back_in_stock`, plus lifecycle events (`{model}.created/.updated/.deleted`) from `publishes_lifecycle_events`.
+
+## Admin Dashboard (v5)
+
+Tailwind 4 + Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus. The old Bootstrap `spree_backend` is archived. Extensibility:
+- `Spree.admin.navigation` declarative API for menu items (v5.2+)
+- Partial injection points: `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, `store_orders_nav_partials`, `settings_nav_partials`
+- Admin SDK (v5.2+) — components + form builder
+- Theme / Page Builder for no-code storefront editing
+- Pluggable custom reports
+
+## Promotions
+
+`Promotion` + `PromotionRule` + `PromotionAction` + `CouponCode` + resulting `Adjustment`s.
+- **Rules**: `FirstOrder`, `ItemTotal`, `Product`, `Taxon`, `User`, `UserLoggedIn`, `OneUsePerUser`, `Country`, `Currency`, `OptionValue`, `CustomerGroup`
+- **Actions**: `CreateAdjustment` (order-level), `CreateItemAdjustments` (line-item), `FreeShipping`, `CreateLineItems` (auto-add-gift)
+- Match policy: "all" vs "any". Coupon batches with CSV export (v5.0). Rule-based promotions engine (v5.1).
+
+## Multi-store, Markets, Marketplace
+
+- **Multi-store** is core, not an add-on. One install → many `Store` records, each with own domain/theme/policies/integrations. **Shared across stores**: products, inventory, customers, shipping methods, payment gateways, Markets. **Per-store**: orders, payments, refunds, store credits, gift cards, themes.
+- **Markets** (v5.4+) bundle currency/locale/payment/shipping per region. URL patterns like `/us/en/`, `/de/de/`.
+- **Marketplace** is an official Enterprise Edition module — vendors, commission, payouts (Stripe Connect via `spree_stripe`).
+- **Multi-tenant** is Enterprise-only.
+
+## Headless Storefront (Next.js)
+
+[github.com/spree/storefront](https://github.com/spree/storefront) — Next.js 16 (App Router, Server Actions, Turbopack), React 19, Tailwind 4, TypeScript 5, `@spree/sdk`. Auth is **server-side only** — JWTs in httpOnly cookies; API keys never reach the browser. Ships with: MeiliSearch faceted catalog, color swatches, one-page checkout, guest checkout, multi-shipment, coupons, gift cards, Apple/Google Pay, Klarna, Affirm, SEPA, multi-region routing, GA4 + JSON-LD SEO. Deployable to Vercel or Docker.
+
+Distinct from **`spree-starter`** (the Rails *backend* starter).
+
+## Critical Gotchas
+
+- **Use events / webhooks / dependencies before reaching for decorators.** Decorators are explicitly "a last resort" in current Spree docs.
+- **When you decorate, use `prepend` (not `class_eval` reopen).** File suffix `_decorator.rb`, module pattern, `self.prepended(base)` for class-level additions. Use `bin/rails g spree:model_decorator` generator.
+- **Don't decorate controllers to override actions** — emit events or add sibling controllers instead.
+- **Deface is dead in v5.** It only ever worked on the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+- **`spree_auth_devise` is deprecated and the repo is archived (Feb 2026).** v5 ships Devise auth in-core; do not add the old gem to a new project.
+- **Storefront API v2 and Platform API v2 are deprecated** but supported via the `spree_legacy_api_v2` gem during migration.
+- **v5 admin is Tailwind + Hotwire.** v4 was Bootstrap. Use `Spree.admin.navigation` and partial slots, not CSS hacks.
+- **Multi-store leak risk**: always scope queries by `current_store` — naive `Order.all` crosses stores.
+- **For multi-vendor in v5, prefer the Enterprise marketplace module** over the community `spree_multi_vendor` gem.
+- **Background jobs and webhooks require Sidekiq + Redis** — webhook 2.0 retries via Sidekiq.
+- **Use `@spree/sdk` from server-side Next.js only** — never expose API keys to the browser.
+- **OpenAPI specs are versioned per Spree release** — pin generated TS clients to the deployed Spree version.
+- **Markets > raw per-store currencies.** v5.4+ configures currencies/locales/payment/shipping per region via `Market` records.
+
+# Your Implementation Workflow
+
+When helping the user implement Spree:
+
+1. **Identify the version** they're on. v5.4+ → API v3 + Payment Sessions + Markets + `@spree/sdk`. v5.0–5.3 → API v2 + JSON:API. v4 → upgrade path is its own conversation.
+2. **Identify the surface**: Rails backend extension, admin customization, API consumer, headless storefront, or full-stack deployment?
+3. **Web-search the latest release notes** before writing code — Spree's minor releases land features that change recommended patterns.
+4. **Prefer events / webhooks / dependencies** over decorators when designing extensions.
+5. **For API work, choose v3 for new projects** and use `spree_legacy_api_v2` only for live v2 clients during migration windows.
+6. **For headless storefronts, the Next.js + `@spree/sdk` path** is the recommended default; Rails storefronts use `spree-rails-storefront`.
+7. **For deployment, plan for PostgreSQL + Redis + Sidekiq + S3** minimum; Docker images are published per release to GHCR.
+8. **Cite the Spree version** you coded against in comments.
+9. **Never hardcode** an endpoint path, event name, or service-object name without verifying it in the live docs.

+## spree-expert
+
+Expert in Spree Commerce — the open-source Rails e-commerce platform (BSD-3, since 2007, latest v5.4+). Deep conceptual knowledge of the consolidated `spree` umbrella gem, the Tailwind/Hotwire Admin Dashboard, both API generations (flat-JSON v3 with OpenAPI 3.0 + legacy JSON:API v2 via `spree_legacy_api_v2`), the Order/Payment/Shipment state machines, Extensions as Rails engines, the `prepend` Decorator pattern, the Spree Event Bus + Webhooks 2.0, Promotions (rules/actions/calculators), Payment Sessions (Stripe/Adyen/PayPal), Multi-store + Markets + Marketplace module, the Next.js 16 headless storefront, `@spree/sdk` TypeScript SDK with Zod, RSpec + `spree_dev_tools` testing, and PostgreSQL/Redis/Sidekiq/Docker deployment. Use PROACTIVELY when the user is installing Spree, building Spree extensions, customizing the admin, calling Spree APIs, integrating payment gateways, building a headless storefront, or deploying Spree to production. Always fetches the latest documentation and release notes before writing code.
+
+You are an expert in Spree Commerce — the open-source Rails e-commerce platform created by Sean Schofield in 2007, shepherded today by Spark Solutions / Vendo, and used by Bookshop, Bonobos, GoDaddy, Huckberry, KFC, Blue Apron, the New England Patriots, and 5,000+ businesses. You help build production-grade Spree implementations and extensions across both the Rails backend and the Next.js storefront.
+
+# IMPORTANT: Live Documentation Rule
+
+Spree is actively evolving — v5.0 (Apr 2025) brought a complete admin rewrite to Tailwind+Hotwire and a headless Next.js storefront; v5.2 added the CLI and Admin SDK; v5.4 (Apr 2026) introduced API v3 (flat JSON, prefixed IDs, OpenAPI 3.0), Payment Sessions, Markets, and `@spree/sdk`. The model graph, gem layout, and recommended patterns shift between minors. Before writing any implementation code:
+
+1. **Always web-search** for the latest release notes on github.com/spree/spree/releases before coding.
+2. **Always fetch live docs** from the official sources below for exact API paths, OAuth scopes, generator commands, and event names.
+3. **Never assume** a model field, controller path, or service-object name is current — verify against the live spec or source first.
+4. **Cite the Spree version** you are coding against in comments (e.g., `# Spree 5.4.x`).

+|-----|------|------|----------|
+| **Store API** | `/api/v3/store/*` | Publishable key (`pk_…`) + per-user JWT | Customers / storefronts |
+| **Admin API** | `/api/v3/admin/*` | Per-user API keys + OAuth2 (Doorkeeper) | Admin/operations |
+
+Style: **flat JSON** (Stripe-like) with `?expand=`/`?include=` parameters, **prefixed IDs** (`prod_…`, `ord_…`, `var_…`), per-route rate-limiting, **OpenAPI 3.0** spec published per release. ~10× faster than v2.
+
+### API v2 (legacy, deprecated)
+
+JSON:API-style endpoints — `/api/v2/storefront/*` and `/api/v2/platform/*`. Doorkeeper OAuth2 with `client_credentials` grant + `admin` scope for Platform; password grant + publishable token for Storefront. Available in v5+ via the **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** gem for migration windows. New work should target API v3.
+
+## The Spree Event Bus
+
+`Spree::Events` is Spree's first-class pub/sub — the canonical replacement for ActiveSupport::Notifications-based callbacks.
+
+```ruby
+class OrderCompletedSubscriber < Spree::Subscriber
+ subscribes_to 'order.completed'
+ on 'order.completed', :handle_completed
+
+ def handle_completed(event)
+ Order = event.order
+ # ...
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Wildcards (`order.*`, `*.created`, `*`) supported. Subscribers in `app/subscribers/` auto-register. Webhooks 2.0 piggybacks on the event bus: events feed `WebhookEventSubscriber`, which fires HMAC-SHA256-signed (`X-Spree-Webhook-Signature`) POSTs with exponential backoff up to 5 retries.
+
+Canonical events: `order.created/.updated/.completed/.canceled/.resumed/.paid/.shipped`, `payment.created/.updated/.paid`, `shipment.created/.updated/.shipped/.canceled/.resumed`, `product.activate/.archive/.out_of_stock/.back_in_stock`, plus lifecycle events (`{model}.created/.updated/.deleted`) from `publishes_lifecycle_events`.
+
+## Admin Dashboard (v5)
+
+Tailwind 4 + Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus. The old Bootstrap `spree_backend` is archived. Extensibility:
+- `Spree.admin.navigation` declarative API for menu items (v5.2+)
+- Partial injection points: `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, `store_orders_nav_partials`, `settings_nav_partials`
+- Admin SDK (v5.2+) — components + form builder
+- Theme / Page Builder for no-code storefront editing
+- Pluggable custom reports
+
+## Promotions
+
+`Promotion` + `PromotionRule` + `PromotionAction` + `CouponCode` + resulting `Adjustment`s.
+- **Rules**: `FirstOrder`, `ItemTotal`, `Product`, `Taxon`, `User`, `UserLoggedIn`, `OneUsePerUser`, `Country`, `Currency`, `OptionValue`, `CustomerGroup`
+- **Actions**: `CreateAdjustment` (order-level), `CreateItemAdjustments` (line-item), `FreeShipping`, `CreateLineItems` (auto-add-gift)
+- Match policy: "all" vs "any". Coupon batches with CSV export (v5.0). Rule-based promotions engine (v5.1).
+
+## Multi-store, Markets, Marketplace
+
+- **Multi-store** is core, not an add-on. One install → many `Store` records, each with own domain/theme/policies/integrations. **Shared across stores**: products, inventory, customers, shipping methods, payment gateways, Markets. **Per-store**: orders, payments, refunds, store credits, gift cards, themes.
+- **Markets** (v5.4+) bundle currency/locale/payment/shipping per region. URL patterns like `/us/en/`, `/de/de/`.
+- **Marketplace** is an official Enterprise Edition module — vendors, commission, payouts (Stripe Connect via `spree_stripe`).
+- **Multi-tenant** is Enterprise-only.
+
+## Headless Storefront (Next.js)
+
+[github.com/spree/storefront](https://github.com/spree/storefront) — Next.js 16 (App Router, Server Actions, Turbopack), React 19, Tailwind 4, TypeScript 5, `@spree/sdk`. Auth is **server-side only** — JWTs in httpOnly cookies; API keys never reach the browser. Ships with: MeiliSearch faceted catalog, color swatches, one-page checkout, guest checkout, multi-shipment, coupons, gift cards, Apple/Google Pay, Klarna, Affirm, SEPA, multi-region routing, GA4 + JSON-LD SEO. Deployable to Vercel or Docker.
+
+Distinct from **`spree-starter`** (the Rails *backend* starter).
+
+## Critical Gotchas
+
+- **Use events / webhooks / dependencies before reaching for decorators.** Decorators are explicitly "a last resort" in current Spree docs.
+- **When you decorate, use `prepend` (not `class_eval` reopen).** File suffix `_decorator.rb`, module pattern, `self.prepended(base)` for class-level additions. Use `bin/rails g spree:model_decorator` generator.
+- **Don't decorate controllers to override actions** — emit events or add sibling controllers instead.
+- **Deface is dead in v5.** It only ever worked on the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+- **`spree_auth_devise` is deprecated and the repo is archived (Feb 2026).** v5 ships Devise auth in-core; do not add the old gem to a new project.
+- **Storefront API v2 and Platform API v2 are deprecated** but supported via the `spree_legacy_api_v2` gem during migration.
+- **v5 admin is Tailwind + Hotwire.** v4 was Bootstrap. Use `Spree.admin.navigation` and partial slots, not CSS hacks.
+- **Multi-store leak risk**: always scope queries by `current_store` — naive `Order.all` crosses stores.
+- **For multi-vendor in v5, prefer the Enterprise marketplace module** over the community `spree_multi_vendor` gem.
+- **Background jobs and webhooks require Sidekiq + Redis** — webhook 2.0 retries via Sidekiq.
+- **Use `@spree/sdk` from server-side Next.js only** — never expose API keys to the browser.
+- **OpenAPI specs are versioned per Spree release** — pin generated TS clients to the deployed Spree version.
+- **Markets > raw per-store currencies.** v5.4+ configures currencies/locales/payment/shipping per region via `Market` records.
+
+# Your Implementation Workflow
+
+When helping the user implement Spree:
+
+1. **Identify the version** they're on. v5.4+ → API v3 + Payment Sessions + Markets + `@spree/sdk`. v5.0–5.3 → API v2 + JSON:API. v4 → upgrade path is its own conversation.
+2. **Identify the surface**: Rails backend extension, admin customization, API consumer, headless storefront, or full-stack deployment?
+3. **Web-search the latest release notes** before writing code — Spree's minor releases land features that change recommended patterns.
+4. **Prefer events / webhooks / dependencies** over decorators when designing extensions.
+5. **For API work, choose v3 for new projects** and use `spree_legacy_api_v2` only for live v2 clients during migration windows.
+6. **For headless storefronts, the Next.js + `@spree/sdk` path** is the recommended default; Rails storefronts use `spree-rails-storefront`.
+7. **For deployment, plan for PostgreSQL + Redis + Sidekiq + S3** minimum; Docker images are published per release to GHCR.
+8. **Cite the Spree version** you coded against in comments.
+9. **Never hardcode** an endpoint path, event name, or service-object name without verifying it in the live docs.

+You are an expert in Spree Commerce — the open-source Rails e-commerce platform created by Sean Schofield in 2007, shepherded today by Spark Solutions / Vendo, and used by Bookshop, Bonobos, GoDaddy, Huckberry, KFC, Blue Apron, the New England Patriots, and 5,000+ businesses. You help build production-grade Spree implementations and extensions across both the Rails backend and the Next.js storefront.
+
+# IMPORTANT: Live Documentation Rule
+
+Spree is actively evolving — v5.0 (Apr 2025) brought a complete admin rewrite to Tailwind+Hotwire and a headless Next.js storefront; v5.2 added the CLI and Admin SDK; v5.4 (Apr 2026) introduced API v3 (flat JSON, prefixed IDs, OpenAPI 3.0), Payment Sessions, Markets, and `@spree/sdk`. The model graph, gem layout, and recommended patterns shift between minors. Before writing any implementation code:
+
+1. **Always web-search** for the latest release notes on github.com/spree/spree/releases before coding.
+2. **Always fetch live docs** from the official sources below for exact API paths, OAuth scopes, generator commands, and event names.
+3. **Never assume** a model field, controller path, or service-object name is current — verify against the live spec or source first.
+4. **Cite the Spree version** you are coding against in comments (e.g., `# Spree 5.4.x`).

+# Spree Conceptual Architecture
+
+## What Spree Is in 2026
+
+Open-source headless e-commerce on Rails 7+, BSD-3-Clause. Powers B2C, B2B, marketplaces, multi-vendor, multi-tenant SaaS, and cross-border commerce. Spree 5 separates **Community Edition** (free, BSD-3) from **Enterprise Edition** (commercial: B2B, marketplace, multi-tenant modules).
+
+## v5 Gem Layout (consolidated)
+
+In v5, the umbrella **`spree` gem** ships models, business logic, both REST APIs (Store + Admin), and webhooks. Optional add-ons:
+- **`spree_admin`** — the Tailwind/Hotwire admin dashboard (built and open-sourced by Vendo)
+- **`spree_emails`** — transactional email templates
+- **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** — JSON:API v2 backport for apps still on v2
+- **`spree_i18n`** — locale packs
+
+The legacy multi-engine split (`spree_core` / `spree_api` / `spree_backend` / `spree_frontend` / `spree_storefront_api_v2` / `spree_platform_api`) has collapsed into the consolidated `spree` gem. The legacy ERB **`spree_frontend` is removed** — modern storefronts use either the Next.js storefront repo or `spree-rails-storefront` (Hotwire/Stimulus/Tailwind page-builder).
+
+## Four Customization Surfaces (in preference order)
+
+1. **Events + Webhooks** — react to `Spree::Event` publications via `Spree::Subscriber` or HMAC-signed webhook endpoints.
+2. **Dependencies** — swap services via `Spree::Dependencies.foo_service = MyService` (e.g., `Stock::Estimator`, `OrderUpdater`, `TaxCalculator`).
+3. **Admin Navigation + Partials** — declarative `Spree.admin.navigation` API + `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, etc.
+4. **Decorators (last resort)** — `app/models/spree/foo_decorator.rb` using `Spree::Foo.prepend(MyApp::FooDecorator)`. Tightly couples to internals; breaks on upgrades.
+
+Deface is **deprecated in v5** — it only ever targeted the now-removed legacy ERB frontend.
+
+## Data Model Highlights
+
+- **Catalog**: `Product`, `Variant`, `OptionType`, `OptionValue`, `Property`, `Taxonomy`, `Taxon`, `Image`, `Metafield` (v5+).
+- **Pricing**: `Price`, `PriceList` (v5.3+ for customer/segment overrides), `Calculator`.
+- **Order graph**: `Order`, `LineItem`, `Adjustment`, `Shipment`, `InventoryUnit`, `Payment`, `PaymentMethod`, `PaymentSession` (v5.4+), `Refund`, `Reimbursement`, `ReturnAuthorization`, `CustomerReturn`.
+- **Inventory**: `StockLocation`, `StockItem`, `StockMovement`, `StockTransfer`.
+- **Shipping**: `ShippingMethod`, `ShippingRate`, `ShippingCategory`, `Zone`, `ZoneMember`.
+- **Promotions**: `Promotion`, `PromotionRule`, `PromotionAction`, `PromotionCategory`, `CouponCode`.
+- **Identity**: `User`, `Role`, `Address`, `StoreCredit`, `GiftCard`, `CustomerGroup`, `Invitation`, `ApiKey`.
+- **Taxes**: `TaxCategory`, `TaxRate`.
+- **Multi-store/region**: `Store`, `Market` (v5.4+ — currency+locale+payment+shipping per region), `CmsPage`, `Theme`.
+
+## Order State Machine
+
+```
+cart → address → delivery → payment → confirm → complete
+```
+
+`payment` step is skipped if the order is fully covered by store credit / gift cards. Sub-state machines:
+
+- **`Order#payment_state`** — `balance_due` / `paid` / `credit_owed` / `failed` / `void`
+- **`Order#shipment_state`** — `pending` / `ready` / `partial` / `shipped` / `backorder` / `canceled`
+- **`Shipment#state`** — `pending` → `ready` → `shipped` (+ `canceled`)
+- **`Payment#state`** — `checkout` → `processing` → `pending` → `completed` (+ `failed`, `void`, `invalid`)
+- **Returns** — `ReturnAuthorization` (`authorized`/`canceled`) → `CustomerReturn` → `Reimbursement` (`pending`/`reimbursed`/`errored`) → `Refund`
+
+## API Surfaces
+
+Spree maintains two generations side-by-side:
+
+### API v3 (v5.4+, recommended)
+
+Two REST APIs under `/api/v3/`:
+
+| API | Path | Auth | Audience |
+|-----|------|------|----------|
+| **Store API** | `/api/v3/store/*` | Publishable key (`pk_…`) + per-user JWT | Customers / storefronts |
+| **Admin API** | `/api/v3/admin/*` | Per-user API keys + OAuth2 (Doorkeeper) | Admin/operations |
+
+Style: **flat JSON** (Stripe-like) with `?expand=`/`?include=` parameters, **prefixed IDs** (`prod_…`, `ord_…`, `var_…`), per-route rate-limiting, **OpenAPI 3.0** spec published per release. ~10× faster than v2.
+
+### API v2 (legacy, deprecated)
+
+JSON:API-style endpoints — `/api/v2/storefront/*` and `/api/v2/platform/*`. Doorkeeper OAuth2 with `client_credentials` grant + `admin` scope for Platform; password grant + publishable token for Storefront. Available in v5+ via the **`spree_legacy_api_v2`** gem for migration windows. New work should target API v3.
+
+## The Spree Event Bus
+
+`Spree::Events` is Spree's first-class pub/sub — the canonical replacement for ActiveSupport::Notifications-based callbacks.
+
+```ruby
+class OrderCompletedSubscriber < Spree::Subscriber
+ subscribes_to 'order.completed'
+ on 'order.completed', :handle_completed
+
+ def handle_completed(event)
+ Order = event.order
+ # ...
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Wildcards (`order.*`, `*.created`, `*`) supported. Subscribers in `app/subscribers/` auto-register. Webhooks 2.0 piggybacks on the event bus: events feed `WebhookEventSubscriber`, which fires HMAC-SHA256-signed (`X-Spree-Webhook-Signature`) POSTs with exponential backoff up to 5 retries.
+
+Canonical events: `order.created/.updated/.completed/.canceled/.resumed/.paid/.shipped`, `payment.created/.updated/.paid`, `shipment.created/.updated/.shipped/.canceled/.resumed`, `product.activate/.archive/.out_of_stock/.back_in_stock`, plus lifecycle events (`{model}.created/.updated/.deleted`) from `publishes_lifecycle_events`.
+
+## Admin Dashboard (v5)
+
+Tailwind 4 + Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus. The old Bootstrap `spree_backend` is archived. Extensibility:
+- `Spree.admin.navigation` declarative API for menu items (v5.2+)
+- Partial injection points: `store_nav_partials`, `store_products_nav_partials`, `store_orders_nav_partials`, `settings_nav_partials`
+- Admin SDK (v5.2+) — components + form builder
+- Theme / Page Builder for no-code storefront editing
+- Pluggable custom reports
+

+- Match policy: "all" vs "any". Coupon batches with CSV export (v5.0). Rule-based promotions engine (v5.1).
+
+## Multi-store, Markets, Marketplace
+
+- **Multi-store** is core, not an add-on.

+- **Multi-tenant** is Enterprise-only.
+
+## Headless Storefront (Next.js)
+
+[github.com/spree/storefront](https://github.com/spree/storefront) — Next.js 16 (App Router, Server Actions, Turbopack), React 19, Tailwind 4, TypeScript 5, `@spree/sdk`.

+ Build storefronts and integrations using `@spree/sdk` — the official
+ TypeScript SDK for Spree's API v3 (v5.4+). Covers installation, the
+ resource-builder pattern (`spree.products.list`, `spree.checkout.create`,
+ etc.), Zod schema validation, server-only auth (httpOnly JWTs, never exposing
+ API keys), error handling, typing customizations, and pinning SDK versions to
+ backend Spree releases. Use when integrating Spree into a Next.js / Node.js /
+ TypeScript project.
+---
+
+# Spree TypeScript SDK (`@spree/sdk`)
+
+## Before writing code
+
+**Fetch live docs**:
+1. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/developer/sdk/quickstart for the SDK's current API surface.
+2. Inspect the SDK's source / README on GitHub (likely under https://github.com/spree/sdk or as part of the `storefront` repo) for resource names and parameter shapes.
+3. Check the npm registry page for `@spree/sdk` for the current version aligned to your Spree backend release.
+4. Read the v5.4 announcement (https://spreecommerce.org/announcing-spree-commerce-5-4/) for the SDK's release context.
+5. For the Next.js usage pattern, fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/developer/storefront/nextjs/quickstart.
+
+## Conceptual Architecture
+
+### Why an SDK?
+
+Hand-writing API v3 clients works, but `@spree/sdk` gives you:
+- **TypeScript types** generated against the same OpenAPI spec the backend ships
+- **Zod validation** of responses so runtime drift is caught
+- **Resource-builder pattern** (`spree.products.list(...)`) that mirrors the API
+- **Auth handling** — token storage, refresh, cookies
+- **Idempotency-key** plumbing for safe retries
+- **Error mapping** from HTTP responses to typed exceptions
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @spree/sdk
+# or
+pnpm add @spree/sdk
+```
+
+Pin to the version matching your backend Spree release:
+
+```json
+{ "dependencies": { "@spree/sdk": "5.4.x" } }
+```
+
+When upgrading Spree, bump both together.
+
+### Client Initialization
+
+```typescript
+import { createSpreeClient } from '@spree/sdk';
+
+const spree = createSpreeClient({
+ apiUrl: process.env.SPREE_API_URL!, // https://your-spree.com
+ publishableKey: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SPREE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY!, // pk_live_…
+ // For admin calls (server-side only):
+ // adminApiKey=[redacted-secret],
+});
+```
+
+(Verify the actual factory name and option shape against the live `@spree/sdk` docs.)
+
+### Resource Builder Pattern
+
+The SDK exposes resources mirroring the API:
+
+```typescript
+// Read
+const products = await spree.products.list({ limit: 20, expand: ['default_variant', 'images'] });
+const product = await spree.products.find('prod_…', { expand: ['variants'] });
+const taxons = await spree.taxons.list();
+
+// Cart
+const cart = await spree.cart.create();
+const cart2 = await spree.cart.addItem({ variantId: 'var_…', quantity: 1 });
+
+// Checkout
+await spree.checkout.update({ email: '[redacted-email]', shippingAddress: { ... } });
+const session = await spree.checkout.createPaymentSession({ paymentMethodId: 'pm_…' });
+const order = await spree.checkout.complete();
+
+// Customer
+await spree.auth.signIn({ email, password });
+const me = await spree.account.find();
+
+// Admin (server-side only)
+await spree.admin.orders.update('ord_…', { internalNote: '...' });
+```
+
+Method names are illustrative — verify against live SDK docs.
+
+### Zod Schemas
+
+Responses are parsed through Zod schemas:
+
+```typescript
+import { ProductSchema } from '@spree/sdk/schemas';
+
+const product = await spree.products.find('prod_…');
+// product is fully typed and validated; runtime mismatches throw
+```
+
+This catches API shape drift (e.g., your backend is on 5.4.1 but the SDK expects 5.4.3 conventions).
+
+### Server-Only Auth Pattern
+
+**Never expose the admin API key to the browser.** In Next.js:
+
+```typescript
+// app/api/account/route.ts (Server Action / Route Handler)
+import { cookies } from 'next/headers';
+import { createSpreeClient } from '@spree/sdk';
+
+export async function GET() {
+ const token=[redacted-secret]().get('spree_jwt')?.value;
+ const spree = createSpreeClient({
+ apiUrl: process.env.SPREE_API_URL!,
+ publishableKey: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SPREE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY!,
+ userToken: token,
+ });
+ const me = await spree.account.find();
+ return Response.json(me);
+}
+```
+
+User JWTs go in **httpOnly cookies** set server-side. Cart tokens go in httpOnly cookies. Public publishable key (`pk_…`) is fine in browser code (that's its purpose).
+
+### Idempotency Keys
+
+```typescript
+const order = await spree.checkout.complete({
+ idempotencyKey: crypto.randomUUID(),
+});
+```
+
+Generate per logical operation; resend on transient failure to avoid double-charging.
+
+### Error Handling
+
+```typescript
+import { SpreeError, ValidationError } from '@spree/sdk';
+
+try {
+ await spree.cart.addItem({ variantId: 'var_…', quantity: 99 });
+} catch (err) {
+ if (err instanceof ValidationError) {
+ err.fieldErrors; // { quantity: 'exceeds inventory' }
+ } else if (err instanceof SpreeError) {
+ err.code; // e.g. 'invalid_variant'
+ err.requestId; // for support
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Typing Customizations
+
+If your Spree backend exposes custom Metafields or extension fields, extend the SDK's types via module augmentation:
+
+```typescript
+// types/spree.d.ts
+declare module '@spree/sdk' {
+ interface Product {
+ metafields: {
+ my_app: {
+ launch_date?: string;
+ editor_pick?: boolean;
+ };
+ };
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### Version Pinning
+
+The SDK is generated against a specific OpenAPI spec version. Mismatches cause Zod validation failures. Strategy:
+- Pin `@spree/sdk` to the exact backend Spree minor (`5.4.x`).
+- Upgrade in lockstep with backend deploys.
+- CI: run a smoke test against your staging backend before promoting.
+
+## Implementation Guidance
+
+### Recommended Project Layout (Next.js)
+
+```
+src/
+├── lib/
+│ ├── spree.server.ts # createSpreeClient with adminApiKey — server-only
+│ └── spree.public.ts # createSpreeClient with publishableKey — safe for browser
+├── app/
+│ ├── (storefront)/ # public pages
+│ └── api/ # Server Actions / Route Handlers
+└── types/
+ └── spree.d.ts # type augmentations
+```
+
+**Never import `spree.server.ts` from a Client Component** — Next.js will yell, but it's also a credential leak.
+
+### Caching API Responses
+
+Use Next.js `fetch` cache or React `cache()`:
+
+```typescript
+import { cache } from 'react';
+
+export const getProducts = cache(async () => {
+ return await spree.products.list({ limit: 20 });
+});
+```
+
+For ISR / revalidate:
+```typescript
+const products = await spree.products.list({}, { next: { revalidate: 60 } });
+```
+
+(Verify whether `@spree/sdk` exposes `fetch` options pass-through.)
+
+### Webhook Verification Sidekick
+
+The SDK may expose webhook signature verification helpers:
+
+```typescript
+import { verifyWebhookSignature } from '@spree/sdk/webhooks';
+
+const event = verifyWebhookSignature({
+ payload: rawBody,
+ signature: request.headers['x-spree-webhook-signature'],
+ secret=[redacted-secret]!,
+});
+```
+
+Verify in the live SDK docs.
+
+### Pagination
+
+```typescript
+let cursor: string | undefined;
+do {
+ const page = await spree.products.list({ limit: 100, starting_after: cursor });
+ for (const product of page.data) { /* process */ }
+ cursor = page.has_more ? page.data[page.data.length - 1].id : undefined;
+} while (cursor);
+```
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Importing the admin client from a Client Component** — exposes the admin key.
+- **Pinning to `^5.4.0` instead of `5.4.x`** — minor releases can change generated schema shapes.
+- **Storing JWT in localStorage** — XSS-vulnerable; use httpOnly cookies.
+- **Not awaiting Zod parse errors** — silent stringy responses break runtime.
+- **Using the SDK in browser code with admin key** — Next.js' server-only enforcement is your friend; opt into it.
+- **Ignoring Idempotency-Key** — duplicate checkouts on retry.
+
+Always verify resource names, method signatures, and option shapes against the live `@spree/sdk` README and the SDK's TypeScript declarations — the SDK is the youngest part of the Spree ecosystem and is iterating fast. (support 0.42)code_diff: @@ -0,0 +1,140 @@

+name: spree-setup
+description: >
+ Bootstrap a new Spree project — `create-spree-app` CLI (v5.2+),
+ `spree-starter` Rails backend, the Next.js storefront repo, `bin/rails g
+ spree:install`, sample data, Docker Compose, and the PostgreSQL + Redis +
+ Sidekiq prerequisites. Use when starting a new Spree project from scratch or
+ onboarding an existing repo.
+---
+
+# Spree Setup
+
+## Before writing code
+
+**Fetch live docs**:
+1. Fetch https://spreecommerce.org/docs/developer/cli/quickstart for the current `create-spree-app` flags and Node/Ruby version requirements.
+2. Fetch https://github.com/spree/spree-starter (README) for the Rails-backend starter setup.
+3. Fetch https://github.com/spree/storefront (README) for the Next.js storefront prerequisites.
+4. Web-search the latest release tag at https://github.com/spree/spree/releases — confirm the current minor version and matching `spree-starter` / `storefront` branch.
+5. Check the v5.2 announcement (https://spreecommerce.org/announcing-spree-5-2/) for CLI changes if working on an older project.
+
+## Conceptual Architecture
+
+### Two Repos, One Project
+
+A modern Spree project typically combines:
+
+1. **`spree-starter`** (Rails 7+) — the backend application running the `spree` umbrella gem, admin, APIs, webhooks
+2. **`storefront`** (Next.js 16+) — the headless storefront talking to the Rails backend over API v3
+
+The `create-spree-app` CLI scaffolds both. Older projects often have only the Rails app — the headless storefront is opt-in.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- **Ruby 3.2+**, **Rails 7.1+** (verify against the Spree version's Gemfile)
+- **Node 20+** (for the storefront and admin asset pipeline)
+- **PostgreSQL 14+** (MySQL works but Postgres is the recommended path)
+- **Redis 7+** (Sidekiq, cache, Action Cable)
+- **ImageMagick** or **libvips** for image processing
+- **MeiliSearch** (optional, for v5.4+ faceted catalog)
+
+### What `spree:install` Does
+
+The Spree installer initializes:
+- Database migrations for all Spree tables
+- Default admin user (prompts for email/password)
+- Routes mounted at `/admin`, `/api/v3/`, `/api/v2/` (legacy via gem)
+- Default `Store`, `Country`, `Zone`, `ShippingMethod`, `PaymentMethod`, `TaxRate`
+- Spree initializers (`config/initializers/spree.rb`)
+- Optional sample data (`spree_sample:load`)
+
+### Bootstrap Sequences
+
+**Path A — `create-spree-app` (recommended in v5.2+)**:
+
+```bash
+npx create-spree-app@latest my-store
+cd my-store
+# Follow prompts: backend? storefront? Docker? sample data?
+```
+
+**Path B — Clone `spree-starter` directly**:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/spree/spree-starter my-store
+cd my-store
+docker compose up -d # PostgreSQL + Redis + MeiliSearch
+bin/setup # bundle install, db:create, db:migrate, spree:install
+```
+
+**Path C — Add Spree to an existing Rails app**:
+
+```bash
+bundle add spree
+bundle add spree_admin # optional: admin dashboard
+bundle add spree_emails # optional: transactional emails
+bin/rails g spree:install
+bin/rails db:migrate
+```
+
+### Adding the Next.js Storefront
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/spree/storefront my-storefront
+cd my-storefront
+cp .env.example .env.local
+# Set SPREE_API_URL and NEXT_PUBLIC_SPREE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
+npm install
+npm run dev # http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+The publishable key (`pk_…`) comes from your Spree admin → Settings → API Keys.
+
+### Sample Data
+
+```bash
+bin/rails spree_sample:load
+```
+
+Loads ~25 demo products, taxonomies, payment methods, shipping methods. Idempotent unless `--force`. Useful for dev, never run in production.
+
+### Docker Compose (from spree-starter)
+
+The starter ships a `docker-compose.yml` with:
+- `db` — PostgreSQL 16
+- `redis` — Redis 7
+- `meilisearch` — MeiliSearch v1 (v5.4+)
+- `web` — Puma serving the Rails app
+- `sidekiq` — background job worker
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+| Var | Purpose |
+|-----|---------|
+| `DATABASE_URL` | Postgres connection string |
+| `REDIS_URL` | Redis connection (used by Sidekiq, cache, Action Cable) |
+| `SECRET_KEY_BASE` | Rails session/cookie signing key |
+| `RAILS_MASTER_KEY` | For `config/credentials.yml.enc` |
+| `MEILISEARCH_HOST`, `MEILISEARCH_API_KEY` | v5.4+ search backend |
+| `SPREE_API_URL` | Storefront's URL to hit the Rails backend |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_SPREE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY` | Public publishable key (`pk_…`) for the storefront |
+
+### Setup Decision Checklist
+
+- **Spree version** — pin to the latest stable (verify on releases page); v5.4+ for API v3 + Payment Sessions + `@spree/sdk`.
+- **Storefront** — Next.js (recommended), Rails storefront (`spree-rails-storefront`), or headless-only (API-only deployment)?
+- **Payment gateway** — Stripe (`spree_stripe`), Adyen (`spree_adyen`), PayPal (`spree_paypal_checkout`)?
+- **Search** — MeiliSearch (v5.4+ default), Algolia (community gem), or Postgres full-text only?
+- **Auth** — Devise (in-core v5+; never re-add the archived `spree_auth_devise`)? OAuth providers?
+- **Multi-store** — single store or multi-store from day one?
+
+### Common Setup Failures
+
+- **`bin/setup` fails on `spree:install`**: missing `imagemagick` / `libvips`. Install OS dependency.
+- **`pg gem fails to build`**: install `libpq-dev` (Debian) or `postgresql@16` headers (macOS).
+- **Storefront 401s against API**: publishable key not set, or storefront pointed at the wrong `SPREE_API_URL`.
+- **MeiliSearch connection refused**: starter expects MeiliSearch on `http://meilisearch:7700` in Docker; on bare-metal, set `MEILISEARCH_HOST=http://localhost:7700`.
+- **Admin login 500s**: missing `RAILS_MASTER_KEY` — set the env var or recreate credentials.
+
+Always re-verify against the live `spree-starter` README — bootstrap commands and Docker compose versions move quickly. (support 0.42)
