Digital Product E-Book Fulfillment System

🚀 Overview

Status: Ready for Codegen & Integration Testing
Branch: rc-3 (PR #35: feat(core): rc wip)
Component: ValkyrAI Core (valkyrai/)
Scope: Complete end-to-end digital product delivery pipeline

This implementation enables uploading e-books/digital products, creating downloadable products, automating fulfillment on purchase, and granting secure token-based download access with usage tracking.

📋 What Was Implemented

1. Schema Extensions (OpenAPI)

Four minimal, non-duplicative models added to api.hbs.yaml:

Model	Purpose	Key Fields
DigitalAsset	Link FileRecord → Product	productId, fileId, deliveryMethod, maxDownloads, expiresAfterDays
DownloadAccess	ACL permission grant for download	digitalAssetId, principalId, downloadToken, downloadCount, maxDownloadsRemaining, expiresAt, revokedAt
OrderFulfillmentTask	Fulfillment lifecycle tracker	salesOrderId, fulfillmentType, status, workflowId, attempts, metadata
ProductDeliveryConfig	Per-product fulfillment rules	productId, deliveryType, autoFulfill, fulfillmentWorkflowId, notificationTemplate

✅ All follow THORAPI golden rules: No re-invented fields, composition via UUIDs, minimal required properties.

2. REST Endpoints (OpenAPI)

Five non-CRUD operations added:

`POST   /Product/{productId}/createDigitalAsset`
`POST   /Product/{productId}/generateDownloadLink`
GET    /DownloadAccess/{accessId}/file?token={token}
POST   /OrderFulfillmentTask/{taskId}/complete
GET    /OrderFulfillmentTask/byLineItem/{lineItemId}

3. Business Logic Layer (Hand-Written Java)

DigitalFulfillmentService (`src/main/java/...`)

Core orchestration service handling:

Asset creation (file validation, product linking)
Download link generation (ephemeral token creation)
Fulfillment completion (DownloadAccess grant, ACL enforcement)
Download processing (token validation, limit enforcement, tracking)
Access revocation (soft-delete for refunds)

Key methods:

DigitalAsset createDigitalAsset(UUID productId, DigitalAsset assetRequest, Authentication auth)
Map<String, Object> generateDownloadLink(UUID productId, Integer validityMinutes, Authentication auth)
Map<String, Object> completeFulfillmentTask(UUID taskId, String status, Map<String, Object> metadata, Authentication auth)
FileRecord downloadFile(UUID accessId, String token, Authentication auth)
void revokeDownloadAccess(UUID accessId, String reason)
OrderFulfillmentTask createFulfillmentTask(SalesOrder order, LineItem lineItem, String fulfillmentType)

DigitalFulfillmentModule (ExecModule)

ValkyrAI workflow plugin for async fulfillment automation:

Input: orderFulfillmentTaskId, status, metadata
Output: { success, downloadAccessId, message, error }
Logic: Completes OrderFulfillmentTask → creates DownloadAccess → grants ACL permissions

4. Exception Handling

DigitalFulfillmentException: Custom exception for all fulfillment errors

File not scanned/infected
Invalid product or file ID
Download limit exceeded
Access expired or revoked
Invalid token

5. Integration Tests (E2E Suite)

DigitalEbookFulfillmentE2ETest: 10-step integration test covering entire flow:

Step 1:  Upload e-book file → FileRecord (CLEAN virus scan)
Step 2:  Create Product with type="download"
Step 3:  Create DigitalAsset linking file to product
Step 4:  Configure ProductDeliveryConfig (auto-fulfill enabled)
Step 5:  Customer places SalesOrder with e-book line item
Step 6:  Payment confirmed → OrderFulfillmentTask created (pending)
Step 7:  Complete task → DownloadAccess granted (via DigitalFulfillmentModule)
Step 8:  Generate download link (expires in 60 minutes)
Step 9:  Customer downloads file (token validated, counter incremented)
Step 10: Verify limit enforcement & access revocation

All tests use @WithMockUser + MockMvc for REST endpoint validation.

         │
         ├─→ ProductDeliveryConfig (fulfillment rules)
         │
Customer Places Order
         ↓
    SalesOrder + LineItem
         ↓

Model Relationships

Product (type="download")
  ├─ DigitalAsset (1:1 or 1:0)
  │   ├─ FileRecord
  │   └─ DownloadAccess[] (permissions granted to customers)
  │       ├─ Principal (customer)
  │       ├─ SalesOrderLineItem (audit link)
  │       └─ ACL Permission (Spring Security)
  └─ ProductDeliveryConfig (1:1 or 1:0)
      ├─ Workflow (async fulfillment)
      └─ ContentData (email template)

SalesOrder
  └─ LineItem[]
      ├─ Product (type="download")
      └─ OrderFulfillmentTask (fulfillment tracker)
          ├─ Workflow (execution engine)
          └─ DownloadAccess (result of completion)

Security & ACL

Object-Level Permissions (Spring ACL):
- Each DownloadAccess is ACL-protected
- Customer gets READ permission when order fulfilled
- Admin gets ADMIN permission for management
Field-Level Encryption:
- DownloadAccess.downloadToken encrypted at rest (x-thorapi-secureField)
Token Validation:
- Must match stored token (cryptographically secure UUID)
- Regenerable per request
- Single-use not enforced (supports parallel downloads)
Audit Trail:
- OrderFulfillmentTask.metadata captures context
- DownloadAccess.downloadCount + lastDownloadedAt track usage
- AclEntry logs permission grants/revocations

🛠️ How to Build & Test

Prerequisites

Java 17+
Maven 3.8+
Docker (for Makefile harness)

Build with Codegen

# Build all modules, trigger ThorAPI codegen
cd /Users/johnmcmahon/workspace/2025/valkyr/ValkyrAI
mvn clean install -DskipTests

# Or use the vai script
./vai clean install

This will:

Process OpenAPI schema (DigitalAsset, DownloadAccess, etc.)
Generate Spring Data repositories + CRUD services
Generate REST controller endpoints
Generate TypeScript RTK Query clients for frontend

Run Integration Tests

# Run E2E test suite
mvn test -Dtest=DigitalEbookFulfillmentE2ETest

# Or all tests
mvn test

Run Local Dev Harness

# Start Docker containers (app, database, etc.)
make harness-up

# Check status
make harness-status

# Stop
make harness-down

📞 Troubleshooting

Build Error: "Cannot find symbol: class DigitalAsset"

Cause: Codegen hasn't run yet
Fix: Run mvn clean install to generate classes from OpenAPI spec

Test Error: "DownloadAccess not found"

Cause: Test database not seeded with fixture data
Fix: Ensure @Transactional + @SpringBootTest are present; use @BeforeEach to seed

Token Validation Fails

Cause: Token mismatch or has been regenerated
Fix: Generate fresh token via generateDownloadLink() endpoint or query current token from DownloadAccess

Access Denied (403) on Download

Cause: Principal lacks ACL READ permission or access is revoked/expired
Fix: Verify DownloadAccess.principalId matches authenticated Principal; check expiresAt, revokedAt

✅ Includes comprehensive testing (10-step E2E test suite)
✅ Is well-documented (ADR, schema comments, inline Javadoc)

Next Steps:

Run mvn clean install to trigger codegen
