+# AI Usage Note
+
+Tool used: OpenAI Codex in the Codex desktop app.
+
+How I used it: I used Codex as a pair-programming assistant to inspect the assignment, scaffold the Go project, implement the layered service, write behavioral tests, and prepare documentation. I reviewed the generated design and code decisions while keeping the implementation focused on the assignment requirements.
+
+Prompts used in this session:
+
+1. "connect with my github"
+2. "we will do this in go make branch as Wallet Transfer Assignment Repository ... Your PR branch should be named: solution/<your-name> (e.g., solution/jane-doe)."
+
+Transcript note: The full interactive transcript is available in the Codex desktop thread for this work. If a plain-text transcript is required outside Codex, export this thread or provide these prompts with the pull request.

 # Wallet Transfer Assignment Repository
 
-This repository is a reusable coding assignment template for evaluating backend engineers on wallet transfers, idempotency, concurrency control, and double-entry ledger design.
+This branch contains a Go implementation of the wallet transfer assignment. It provides a small HTTP service with GORM-backed SQLite persistence, idempotent transfer creation, stored wallet balances, safe transfer state transitions, and double-entry ledger entries.
+
+## Running locally
+
+Requirements:
+
+- Go 1.24
+- CGO-enabled SQLite build support. On Linux, install `gcc`; on macOS, Xcode command line tools are enough.
+
+Run tests:
+
+```sh
+go test ./...
+```
+
+Run the service:
+
+```sh
+go run ./cmd/server
+```
+
+By default the service listens on `:8080` and uses `wallets.db`. Override with:
+
+```sh
+HTTP_ADDR=:9090 DB_PATH=/tmp/wallets.db go run ./cmd/server
+```
+
+Seed wallets are created if absent:
+
+- `wallet_1` with balance `1000`
+- `wallet_2` with balance `1000`
+- `wallet_3` with balance `1000`
+
+Create a transfer:
+
+```sh
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/transfers \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"idempotencyKey":"abc123","fromWalletId":"wallet_1","toWalletId":"wallet_2","amount":100}'
+```
+
+Read data:
+
+```sh
+curl http://localhost:8080/wallets/wallet_1
+curl http://localhost:8080/transfers/<transfer_id>
+```
+
+## Implementation notes
+
+- Architecture is split into handler, service, repository, domain, and port packages.
+- GORM repository models are used with SQLite persistence to keep the assignment self-contained.
+- Transfers are executed inside a database transaction.
+- Idempotency records store the key, canonical request hash, and original transfer id.
+- Duplicate requests with the same key and payload return the original result without side effects.
+- Duplicate requests with the same key and different payload return a conflict.
+- Wallet debits use a conditional update to prevent overspending.
+- Processed transfers write exactly two ledger entries: one `DEBIT` and one `CREDIT`.
+- Failed business transfers are durable and do not change balances or write ledger entries.
+
+See [docs/DESIGN.md](./docs/DESIGN.md) for the detailed design, failure modes, and testing strategy.

+# Wallet Transfer Service Design
+
+## Problem statement
+
+The service exposes wallet-to-wallet transfers with API-level exactly-once behavior for a caller-supplied `idempotencyKey`. A successful transfer debits one wallet, credits another wallet, and records a balanced double-entry ledger. A failed business transfer is recorded as `FAILED` without partial balance or ledger side effects.
+
+## API contract
+
+### `POST /transfers`
+
+Request:
+
+```json
+{
+  "idempotencyKey": "abc123",
+  "fromWalletId": "wallet_1",
+  "toWalletId": "wallet_2",
+  "amount": 100
+}
+```
+
+Responses:
+
+- `201 Created` for a newly processed transfer.
+- `200 OK` for a replay of the same idempotency key and identical payload.
+- `409 Conflict` if an existing idempotency key is reused with a different payload.
+- `422 Unprocessable Entity` for a recorded business failure such as insufficient funds.
+- `400 Bad Request` for validation errors.
+
+The response includes transfer state, ledger entries for processed transfers, and a `replay` flag.
+
+### Optional read APIs
+
+- `GET /wallets/{id}` returns a wallet and its stored balance.
+- `GET /transfers/{id}` returns the transfer and its ledger entries.
+- `GET /healthz` returns service health.
+
+## Persistence
+
+SQLite is used for local portability, with GORM repository models and `AutoMigrate` owning table creation. The schema has:
+
+- `wallets`: stored balance with `CHECK (balance >= 0)`.
+- `transfers`: immutable transfer request data, state, and failure reason.
+- `ledger_entries`: double-entry rows with `DEBIT` and `CREDIT` types and a uniqueness constraint on `(transfer_id, type)`.
+- `idempotency_records`: unique idempotency key, canonical request hash, and transfer id.
+
+Amounts are represented as integer minor units. Floating point money is intentionally avoided.
+
+## Idempotency behavior
+
+The idempotency key is inserted in the same database transaction as the transfer. The service stores a SHA-256 hash of the canonical request payload excluding the idempotency key. On duplicate requests:
+
+- Same key and same payload returns the original transfer result.
+- Same key and different payload returns `409 Conflict`.
+- Duplicate requests never create additional transfers or ledger entries.
+
+## Transaction and concurrency strategy
+
+Each transfer runs in a serializable GORM transaction. The SQLite store uses a single open database connection and a busy timeout, so writes are serialized and duplicate/concurrent requests wait for the active writer instead of observing partial state.
+
+The debit operation uses a guarded update:
+
+```sql
+UPDATE wallets
+SET balance = balance - ?
+WHERE id = ? AND balance >= ?
+```
+
+This is the final no-overspend guard. If it affects no rows, the transfer is marked `FAILED` and no ledger entry is written.
+
+## State transitions
+
+Transfers start as `PENDING` and can only move to `PROCESSED` or `FAILED`. Repository updates enforce this with `WHERE state = 'PENDING'`, preventing retries from mutating terminal transfers.
+
+## Failure modes
+
+- Validation errors are rejected before opening the transaction.
+- Missing wallets and insufficient funds become durable `FAILED` transfer records.
+- Unexpected database errors roll back the whole transaction.
+- Processed transfers always have exactly two ledger entries: one debit and one credit.
+
+## Observability
+
+The service logs startup configuration and exposes `/healthz`. In a larger production system I would add request IDs, structured logs, metrics for transfer outcomes, and latency histograms.
+
+## Testing strategy
+
+Tests use a real temporary SQLite database and verify:
+
+- successful transfer execution,
+- stored balances,
+- double-entry ledger balancing,
+- idempotent replay,
+- idempotency key conflict,
+- insufficient funds failure without side effects,
+- concurrent transfers from the same wallet without overspending.
