Two bugs found tracing Mitchell Allen's batch CB-95BA6C90 (5 DOT services, card):
1) Worker authorization/signing-link/status emails were sent via
smtplib.SMTP('localhost', 25), which has no MTA in the workers container ->
every send failed '[Errno 111] Connection refused', so customers never got
their e-sign links and orders sat 'awaiting client signature' forever. Routed
all 9 hardcoded localhost:25 sites (state_trucking, mcs150_update, boc3_filing,
hazmat_phmsa, mailbox_setup, dot_esign, completion_emails) through the
authenticated SMTP relay (SMTP_HOST/PORT/STARTTLS/login) + added a shared
worker_email.send_worker_email helper.
2) The ERPNext Sales Order for compliance/compliance_batch was only created in
the /checkout/create-session endpoint, but CARD orders confirm via the Stripe
WEBHOOK -> handlePaymentComplete, which never created the SO. Result: every
webhook-confirmed order had erpnext_sales_order=NULL and workers logged
'Sales Order not found 404' then built from PG. Added idempotent
ensureComplianceSalesOrder() to handlePaymentComplete so ALL payment methods
(card-webhook, PayPal, crypto) create + link the SO.
Telegram notifications:
- Add shared scripts/workers/telegram_notify.py (send_telegram, notify_fulfillment_todo,
create_admin_todo) so every worker alerts the operator the same way; fire-and-forget.
- Fire notify_fulfillment_todo after each admin_todos insert across all 8 service
handlers (9 sites) so no fulfillment task waits unseen.
(Orders + quotes + tickets already notified via checkout/quotes/tickets routes.)
Client portal order progress:
- order-timeline: derive real per-step status from live signals (payment paid,
e-signature signed, fulfillment_status) instead of a static template; add
current_step to the response.
- Extract pure applyLiveStatus into order-timeline-status.ts (DB-free) + unit test
(api/test/test_timeline_status.ts, 8 cases).
- portal /me now returns compliance_orders.fulfillment_status.
- Dashboard renders a client-safe Progress badge (In progress / Action needed /
Filed-awaiting-confirmation / Completed); batches show the most actionable status.
No back-office mechanics exposed.
ERPNext sync parity:
- Create a Sales Order for formation and fcc_carrier_registration orders (previously
only canada_crtc + compliance synced); write erpnext_sales_order back to each table.
Non-blocking, matches existing pattern.
Verified: API tsc clean, timeline unit tests 8/8, Astro build 58 pages,
cms10114/ink/paper_batch Python tests still green, no mechanics leaks.
