the brief
THE TICKET STACK
“It was fine until traffic spiked.” Duplicate writes, lost updates, and stale reads — what concurrency and retries do to state. All of it is planted in TapTrust Federal (TapTrust Federal Credit Union) — 4 defects across 3 bug types, graded as one session.
THE TICKETS
— “My connection dropped, I hit retry, and now there are two of it.”
Where to work: Transfers, retried with the same Idempotency-Key
— “Two of us submitted at the same moment and one of our changes silently vanished.”
Where to work: Two simultaneous transfers from one account
— “I did the thing, and the number at the top didn’t change until I refreshed the whole page.”
Where to work: Dashboard figures immediately after a transfer; The teller ledger right after the teller's own action
