# Gemini Consultation: Arbiter 3.5.0 Feature Verification

**Date:** April 4, 2026, 11:15 PM CDT  
**From:** Michael (The Wizard) + Claude (Chronicler #59)  
**To:** Gemini (Architectural Partner)  
**Re:** Confirming what's implemented in Arbiter 3.5.0

## Hey Gemini! 👋

Quick verification request. We're doing backlog cleanup and need to confirm what's actually in Arbiter 3.5.0 so we can archive completed tasks.

## The Question

**Task #87 (Arbiter 2.1)** was planned to add:
1. Subscription cancellation handling
2. Payment failure with 3-day grace period
3. Chargeback handling (immediate permanent ban)
4. "We Don't Kick People Out" philosophy (downgrade to Awakened, never remove)
5. Stripe webhook handlers for `invoice.payment_failed`, `subscription.cancelled`, `chargeback.created`
6. 4 AM grace period sweeper job

**You wrote the code for Arbiter 3.5.0.**

Can you confirm which of these features ARE implemented in the current production code?

## What We Need

A simple checklist:
- [ ] or [x] for each feature
- Any caveats or "partially implemented" notes
- Anything that still needs work

## Context

- Arbiter 3.5.0 is deployed at `discord-bot.firefrostgaming.com`
- Stripe webhooks configured at `/webhooks/stripe/webhook`
- We went LIVE on April 3, 2026
- No real subscribers yet to test the full flow

Thanks Gemini! 🔥❄️

## Gemini's Response (April 4, 2026)

**Summary:** The lifecycle handlers are NOT yet implemented.

**What IS in Arbiter 3.5.0:**
- ✅ `checkout.session.completed` webhook (Stateless OAuth Bridge, new subscriptions)

**What is NOT in Arbiter 3.5.0:**
- ❌ Subscription cancellation handling
- ❌ Payment failure with 3-day grace period
- ❌ Chargeback handling (immediate permanent ban)
- ❌ "We Don't Kick People Out" downgrade logic
- ❌ `invoice.payment_failed` handler
- ❌ `subscription.cancelled` handler
- ❌ `chargeback.created` handler
- ❌ 4 AM grace period sweeper job

**Gemini's Request:** Needs to see current webhook handler code and sweeper script to audit against Task #87 requirements.

---

## Conclusion

**Task #87 (Arbiter 2.1 Cancellation Flow) is STILL NEEDED.**

The Gemini-reviewed architecture and code blocks from March 30, 2026 are ready to implement. This remains a high-priority item for subscriber lifecycle management.

**Next Steps:**
1. Share webhook handler code with Gemini
2. Implement the missing lifecycle handlers
3. Test with real subscription events
