Primes

• Idempotence
  • Square's similar primitive, and PayPal's RequestId make a fundamentally non-idempotent operation (charging a card) safe under retry by maintaining a server-side dedup cache keyed by (idempotency key, account) for at least 24 hours.

    This sourceDocuments the `Idempotency-Key` HTTP header pattern, server-side dedup cache with at-least-24-hour retention, and the `(account_id, idempotency_key)` keying scheme for deduplication. (Industry-standard pattern for engineered idempotence over POST-style APIs; widely copied by Square, PayPal, and other payment processors.)

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
