The gap, in plain words
If a card payment times out and retries, the order must stay unpaid until the payment is confirmed. The combined changes in this example had no test for that workflow.
The test and its evidence
The new test passes on the original build and fails at the expected assertion when valid simulated failures are introduced. One non-compiling trial is not counted as proof.
What you get back
A reviewable test patch, an evidence receipt and run logs. The release decision stays with your team.
