Summary

Scope and assignment

• The linked issue has the exact Stellar Wave label.
• The PR author is assigned or explicitly approved by a maintainer.
• This PR resolves one task and all dependencies are safely completed.

Architecture and security

• Contracts/finalized events remain authoritative for protocol state.
• No backend-authoritative claim, vote, dispute, settlement, reward, treasury, or governance mutation was added.
• TypeORM/PostgreSQL remains the only persistence architecture; Prisma was not introduced.
• Reorg, duplicate delivery, retry, finality, stale-cache, and degraded-dependency behavior is fail-closed.
• SIWE/authentication, authorization, validation, redaction, and rate-limit impact was reviewed.
• No Stellar/Soroban/Freighter runtime, secret, placeholder production value, or production mock is included.

Validation

• Lint, typecheck, and build pass.
• Unit and PostgreSQL integration tests pass.
• Migrations and rollback validation pass.
• Indexer/reorg and protocol-invariant tests pass.
• Security, container, and artifact-drift checks pass.
• Required human CODEOWNER approval applies to this exact head SHA.

@Clinton6801 intake is blocked for head c5442931de8fedb026f58a885ca4cf3a96ec4229:

• PR #313 is still open and also resolves issue BE-020 — Implement Notification & Event Delivery API #283. One task must have one canonical PR unless a maintainer explicitly approves an inseparable/parallel arrangement. Please coordinate with the maintainer, retain one canonical PR, and close or formally supersede the duplicate.
• Issue BE-020 — Implement Notification & Event Delivery API #283 declares BE-013 — Implement Reward Distribution API as a dependency, but the repository’s actual BE-013 issue is #308, “Implement AI Assistant API”. A maintainer must correct/resolve this dependency mismatch before the task can be considered dependency-ready.

After those intake blockers are resolved, rebase the retained PR onto current main and push a new head for review. Current action_required results—Backend CI Security and Quality Gates, Container Smoke Build, V2 Policy Advisory, and PR Guardian Report—are maintainer workflow-authorization items, not contributor failures.

@dDevAhmed — PR #313 is blocked on two intake items:

Blocker #1: Dependency Mismatch

• Issue BE-020 — Implement Notification & Event Delivery API #283 declares "BE-013 — Implement Reward Distribution API" as a dependency
• But the actual BE-013 in the repo is Issue BE-013 — Implement AI Assistant API #308 (AI Assistant API) ✅
• Need clarification: which BE-013 should BE-020 — Implement Notification & Event Delivery API #283 depend on?

Blocker #2: Main Branch Build Failure

• PR feat: implement notification system with BullMQ processor and user pr… #313 shows 17 TypeScript errors (pre-existing in main, not introduced by this PR)
• Related: PR fix: repair broken main baseline (tsc 373 -> 0) #576 "fix: repair broken main baseline" was recently opened
• Main needs to be fixed before I can rebase this PR

Once you resolve these, I can rebase onto the fixed main and we can move forward with review.
