a2a-Market Order State Machine#

Define the canonical order lifecycle and transition guard framework.

Current status: first-release scaffold for early protocol compatibility.

Scope#

• Model order states from creation to completion/cancelation.
• Enforce legal transitions with guard checks and side effects.
• Integrate payment and reputation triggers into state changes.

Suggested Project Layout#

• app/domain/order/order_state.py
• app/domain/order/order_aggregate.py
• app/application/usecases/transition_order.py
• app/application/services/order_event_publisher.py

Minimum Contracts (MVP P0)#

1. create_order(intent_id, accepted_quote_id) initializes order in CREATED.
2. transition(order_id, action, actor, payload) validates and applies state move.
3. get_order_timeline(order_id) returns ordered transition history.
4. recover_pending_orders(now_ts) handles timeout and stuck states.

Base States#

• CREATED
• NEGOTIATING
• PAYMENT_PENDING
• PAID
• FULFILLING
• COMPLETED
• CANCELED
• FAILED

Events#

• Emit ORDER_CREATED at initialization.
• Emit ORDER_COMPLETED when terminal success is reached.
• Emit reputation update trigger after completion/cancel resolution.

Implementation Backlog#

• Add compensation transitions for partial fulfillment failures.
• Add deterministic replay from event store snapshots.

Runtime Implementation#

• Status: implemented in local runtime package.
• Primary code paths:
• runtime/src/domain/order-state-machine.js
• Validation: covered by runtime/tests and npm test in runtime/.
