First of the two things from the audit. No new technology — the pieces were already here and simply not wired.

The dupe

PlayerStateComponent declares InShop and InExchange, the ECS generates working setters for both, and nothing in src/ ever assigned either one. They were permanently false, so five guards were inert:

what it was meant to stop
WorldPacketHandlingStrategy:156 the global Scope.InTrade gate
RemovePacketHandler:25 dropping an item mid-trade
WearHandler:56 equipping one
BiPacketHandler:69 destroying one
VehicleHandler:41 mounting

That matters because ProcessExchange builds the destination item fresh rather than moving it, and InventoryService : ConcurrentDictionary<Guid, …>, so removing an item that has since gone returns false without complaint.

Offer an item → drop it → both confirm → the receiver gets a real item and the giver still has one.

The fix

The lifecycle owns the flag. OpenExchange and CloseExchange set it for both parties, rather than each of the seven call sites remembering to — which is precisely how it came to never be set at all. ExchangeService takes ISessionRegistry to reach the two characters.

Commit-time revalidation, as defence in depth. ProcessExchange confirms every offer is still present at the offered amount before anything is created, so a trade whose subject vanished transfers nothing rather than half of it.

Evidence

AnOfferedItemThatLeftTheInventoryDoesNotReachTheOtherSide offers an item, removes it from the giver, then processes. I removed the revalidation loop and re-ran: it fails with a vanished offer must not transfer, receiver count 1. With the fix, 0.

Solution builds. GameObject 538, PacketHandlers 413.

Not in here

  • The transfer still recreates rather than moves the instance. Moving it would make the dupe structurally impossible instead of guarded against; it is the right follow-up and a larger change. This is the only place in the codebase that recreates — warehouse and bazaar move instances.
  • InShop is still never set, so the same five guards remain inert for player shops. Same fix, different lifecycle; kept separate so this one stays reviewable.
  • There are still no DB transactions anywhere — no BeginTransaction, no TransactionScope — so a crash mid-exchange leaves it half-applied. Separate concern from the in-memory dupe.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Exchange participants are now correctly marked as being in an exchange while it is open.
    • Invalid or outdated item offers are rejected before transfers occur, preventing unintended item duplication or delivery.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for items removed from an inventory before exchange completion.

PlayerStateComponent declares InShop and InExchange, the ECS generates working
setters for both, and nothing ever assigned either. They were permanently
false, so five guards were inert:

    WorldPacketHandlingStrategy   the Scope.InTrade gate
    RemovePacketHandler           dropping an item mid-trade
    WearHandler                   equipping one
    BiPacketHandler               destroying one
    VehicleHandler                mounting

ProcessExchange builds the destination item fresh rather than moving it, and
InventoryService is a ConcurrentDictionary, so removing an item that has since
gone returns false without complaint. Offer an item, drop it, confirm: the
receiver gets a real item and the giver keeps one.

The lifecycle now owns the flag - OpenExchange and CloseExchange set it for
both parties - rather than seven call sites each remembering to, which is how
it came to never be set at all. ProcessExchange also confirms every offer is
still present at the offered amount before anything is created, so a trade
whose subject vanished transfers nothing instead of half of it.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

ExchangeService now tracks participant exchange state through ISessionRegistry and rejects transfers when offered items no longer match the giver’s inventory. Tests cover constructor wiring and removed-item handling.

Changes

Exchange integrity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Participant exchange state
src/NosCore.GameObject/Services/ExchangeService/ExchangeService.cs, test/NosCore.GameObject.Tests/Services/ExchangeService/ExchangeServiceTests.cs
ExchangeService receives ISessionRegistry and sets both participants’ InExchange flags when an exchange opens or closes. Tests pass the new dependency to service instances.
Transfer inventory validation
src/NosCore.GameObject/Services/ExchangeService/ExchangeService.cs, test/NosCore.GameObject.Tests/Services/ExchangeService/ExchangeServiceTests.cs
ProcessExchange validates offered items against the live origin inventory before creating destination items. The regression test verifies that a removed item is not transferred or duplicated.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to b8a4f

An exchange can still produce inconsistent outcomes: an offered item may fail to transfer while currency is moved and the trade is closed, or concurrent processing may create a duplicate without reliably removing the original. A participant may also remain unprotected if identifier lookup fails during exchange setup, so this change is not merge-ready without fixing or explicitly accepting these risks.

Use one participant identifier consistently for the exchange.

The RequestExchangeType.List path passes target.CharacterId to OpenExchange, while SetInExchange matches only VisualId. If these values differ, the target lookup fails and OpenExchange still returns true, leaving target.InExchange unset. Resolve both participants before creating exchange state and roll back if either lookup fails. Add assertions for both flags after opening and closing.

Make source removal atomic with destination creation.

ProcessExchange creates all destination items before removing source items and ignores both removal results. If a source changes between the preflight and removal, the transfer can leave inconsistent inventories. ConcurrentDictionary does not serialize this multi-step operation or mutations to ItemInstance.Amount. Use an atomic transfer, or roll back both destination additions and completed source removals when any removal fails.
