Problem
In Vouch.tsx (lines 179-183), the handleDecline function uses setTimeout(() => r(), 600) to simulate declining a vouch request. No API call is made. The request visually disappears from the UI after 600ms but reappears on page refresh because the decline was never persisted.
User impact: Mentors believe they have declined vouch requests, but the requests keep reappearing. This creates confusion and undermines trust in the platform.
Root Cause
The decline action was stubbed during initial development. The API endpoint POST /vouching/decline or equivalent exists (vouching.controller.ts) but was never wired to the frontend.
What To Build
- Add
declineVouch(requestId) method to vouching.service.ts
- Replace the
setTimeout + fake decline in Vouch.tsx with real API call
- Add loading spinner on the decline button while request is in flight
- Add error toast if decline fails
- Remove the declined request from local state on success
