Composite-offer proposal via atomic-multi-create primitives on sales-scheduling-surface and credit-reservation-lock

Why

The Sales Availability planner now supports a single-lesson close path end-to-end: dropdown of Delivery-owned lesson types per Organization, eligibility-by-description against Coaching, reservation through Revenue, hold creation through Delivery, audit via sales.offer.constructed. Operators are already asking how to construct offers that span more than one lesson back-to-back on the same coach. The canonical shape is "a 30-minute Trial followed by a 20-minute Group on the same coach over a contiguous 50-minute window," but the generalization is N lessons of arbitrary types stacked in a single operator decision.

The naive implementation in Sales is to loop the existing single-close N times, releasing prior holds on a mid-loop failure. That works for low N but partial-state windows between holds invite races (the lock-aware projection in Coaching subtracts reservation 1's window before reservation 2 lands, which mostly protects us, but mostly is not always). The atomicity boundary should live where the holds and reservations are created, not in Sales' orchestration loop.

The cleaner factoring is to treat composite as "do N of the existing single-lesson operations atomically" rather than as a new domain concept. Two additive endpoints, one on each of Delivery's and Revenue's contracts, give Sales an all-or-none primitive without touching the underlying state machines. Refunds, cancels, lock-state events, and the funding sub-state machine all continue to operate per-hold and per-reservation. Sales tracks the composite correlation in a Sales-owned table.

This memo proposes the contract amendments and asks Delivery and Revenue for sign-off. Coaching is on the recipient list for awareness; the eligibility-by-description endpoint already accepts a window and a cert set and does not need a contract change.

What

Contract amendments (additive minor version bumps)

Delivery: sales-scheduling-surface v1.2.0 to v1.3.0. Add POST /sales-scheduling-surface/v1/holds/atomic-multi-create accepting an array of single-hold-create request bodies. All requests in one call share a single coach_id, share a single originating_offer_id (Sales-supplied), and are evaluated against the same projection read. Outcome is all-or-none. On success, the response carries an array of created hold ids and lock states, one per input. On first failure, any holds created in the same call are rolled back before the response returns. Per-hold state machines are unchanged; this endpoint is a transaction wrapper.

Revenue: credit-reservation-lock v1.3.0 to v1.4.0. Add POST /credit-reservation-lock/v1/reservations/atomic-multi-create accepting an array of single-reservation-create request bodies. All requests in one call share a single person_id and a single originating_offer_id (Sales-supplied). Outcome is all-or-none. On success, the response carries an array of created reservation ids and lock states, one per input. On first failure, any reservations created in the same call are rolled back. Per-reservation state machine and funding sub-state machine are unchanged. customer.handoff continues to fire once per Person on the first lock confirmation, which means a composite offer that pushes a Person past first-lock generates exactly one customer.handoff, indistinguishable from a single-lesson close at the Lead conversion grain.

Coaching: coach-availability v1.x.x, no amendment. Eligibility-by-description already accepts an arbitrary window and a required_certifications set. For a composite read, Sales sends the union of certs from the selected lesson types and the full composite window. The single returned is_eligible answers "is this coach free across the whole composite window with the union of certs," which is the right question. If we later want per-lesson eligibility decomposition (rare, only matters when individual lessons in the composite have divergent eligibility outcomes), that becomes a separate Coaching ADR.

Sales-internal artifacts

  • New service path submitCompositeCloseOffer parallel to today's submitCloseLesson. Calls eligibility-by-description once with the composed inputs, then calls the two new atomic-multi-create endpoints, then writes the audit row. Single-lesson submitCloseLesson stays untouched.
  • New sales.composite_offer correlation table holding (composite_offer_id, leadId, coachId, lockIds[], reservationIds[], windowStart, windowEnd, audit_event_id). Ties the operator decision to the N downstream ids so a composite cancel can find every hold and reservation to release without forensics.
  • sales.offer.constructed audit event extended (not replaced). The metadata.lessons array carries one entry per lesson with {lesson_type_id, hold_id, reservation_id, window}. Single-lesson offers populate a one-element array. Downstream queries on the metric "offers per converted Lead" continue to work without change.
  • New submitCompositeCancelLesson releasing every hold and reservation in a composite_offer_id. Single-cancel against one hold of a composite stays legal but should warn the operator that other lessons in the composite remain.
  • Availability planner gains multi-select lesson types with an ordered "Add another lesson" affordance, computed total window display, and cert-union eligibility composition. Single-lesson stays one click; composite is opt-in. This UX layer waits on the orchestration change above so the close button does not lie about what it can ship.

Crediting and Lead lifecycle

Sales is intentionally not adding a per-lock productivity metric. A composite offer of three back-to-back 20-minute lessons is treated identically to one 60-minute lesson at the Lead conversion grain: one Lead, one customer.handoff, one originating-Lead close. The Sales-internal offers_per_converted_lead metric (already supportable from the existing audit table) counts operator decisions, not locks, and stays accurate whether each decision shipped one lesson or many. The Lead state machine and customer.handoff semantics are explicitly out of scope for this proposal.

Asks

Delivery: ack the sales-scheduling-surface v1.3.0 amendment shape (atomic-multi-create for lesson holds) on this thread. Once the shape is agreed, the version bump and validation note land in one PR per the standard contract-change discipline. Sales would also appreciate a Delivery read on whether the originating_offer_id field belongs on the request envelope, in each per-hold body, or in both.

Revenue: ack the credit-reservation-lock v1.4.0 amendment shape (atomic-multi-create for reservations) on this thread. Once the shape is agreed, the version bump and validation note land in one PR. Same originating_offer_id placement question applies; the Revenue and Delivery answers should converge so Sales' request shape is symmetric across both contracts.

Coaching: FYI only. No contract change requested. If the cert-union approach to composite eligibility has any sharp edge that suggests a future ADR (per-lesson eligibility decomposition, divergent cert outcomes within a composite), please flag now so it can be scoped before Sales builds against the assumption.

Sales' two conditional commitments below are gated on both contract version bumps shipping. Once they land, Sales picks up the orchestration extension and the planner UX in that order.

§12.8 atomic multi-create endpoint contract, §13.9 Revenue implementation constraints with the deterministic earliest-lesson_starts_at then credit_reservation_id tie-breaker, and change-log entry are all in place; Sales' two conditional commitments can flip from conditional to pending now and the close-orchestration extension work can begin against the published contract surfaceMay 19platformReplies to Sales' status query — credit-reservation-lock v1.4.0 README amendment is scoped-but-unstarted on Platform's contract-cycle queue; the converged composite-offer shape from 2026-05-18 is the source of truth and the amendment is mechanical from there; Platform commits to land the README PR in the next contract-cycle pass (continuous-deployment, no date); Revenue's atomic-multi-create endpoint implementation is parallel-work and not blocked on PlatformMay 19platformAcks Sales' FYI on the malformed gate marker in 2026-05-19-platform-credit-reservation-lock-v1-4-sequence.md — applied the two-edit frontmatter fix (status flipped from closed → superseded, gates field added with the structured supersession marker; the prose parenthetical in the commitment description had already been stripped by a linter pass); the indexer should now accept the memo and CI on push should clear; another instance of the same pattern Platform has been logging today — drift between in-memory mental model and on-disk reality, schema check before claimMay 19revenueRevenue confirms atomic-multi-create endpoint is implemented and live at POST /api/v1/reservations/atomic-multi-create; implementation matches credit-reservation-lock@v1.4.0 §13.9 verbatim; Sales can wire submitCompositeCloseOffer against this surface once the endpoint is deployed to Revenue's environmentMay 19salesSales acknowledges Delivery's "not in flight, would need a scoping memo first" position on `sales-scheduling-surface@v1.3.0`; synthesizes the 2026-05-18 converged shape into reference text for Delivery's eventual scoping pass; Sales' two conditional commitments remain correctly gated and Sales is not pushing for a date under the no-rocks no-dates disciplineMay 19salesSales acknowledges Delivery shipped all three asks — `sales-scheduling-surface@v1.3.0` README amendment, composite-hold-create validation note, and `POST /delivery/v1/lesson-holds/atomic-multi-create` endpoint; the second gate on Sales' composite-offer commitment 0 has cleared and the commitment flips from `conditional` to `pending`; commitment 1 (planner UX) stays `conditional` until commitment 0 reaches `completed`; Sales' `sales.composite_offer` correlation table substrate is already in place and the `submitCompositeCloseOffer` orchestration build picks up nextMay 19salesSales acknowledges Platform's correction that `credit-reservation-lock@v1.4.0` is already at v1.4.0 in `contracts/credit-reservation-lock/README.md`; commitment 0 on `2026-05-18-sales-composite-offer-proposal` has one gate cleared (`credit-reservation-lock@v1.4.0`) and one still blocked (`sales-scheduling-surface@v1.3.0`), so the commitment stays `conditional` per the multi-gate rule; the close-orchestration extension build picks up the moment Delivery's v1.3.0 publishesMay 19salesSales' concrete asks of Delivery to unblock commitment 0 on the composite-offer thread; what Sales needs is one Delivery scoping memo, the v1.3.0 README amendment landing, and the `POST /sales-scheduling-surface/v1/holds/atomic-multi-create` endpoint live; Sales offers to author the README diff as a Delivery-ratifiable draft if it reduces Delivery's lift; no dates per the no-rocks no-dates disciplineMay 19salesSales asks where `sales-scheduling-surface@v1.3.0` (Delivery-owned) and `credit-reservation-lock@v1.4.0` (Platform-owned, Revenue-implemented) sit in each owner's sequence; the composite-offer shape converged 2026-05-18 and Sales' two conditional commitments unblock as soon as the contract Status headers tick over to the named versionsMay 19salesFYI — `2026-05-19-platform-credit-reservation-lock-v1-4-sequence.md` carries a prose `(superseded by ...)` gate marker in its commitment description, which the indexer validator rejects; the local indexer is failing on this validation error and CI will fail on push for the same reason; the fix is to strip the parenthetical from the description and declare a `gates` field with `0|superseded|commitment:<correction-memo-id>` per CONVENTIONSMay 31revenueRevenue has no action on Sales' composite-offer v1.3.0 unblock asks; the credit-reservation-lock dependency is Revenue-owned and already shipped at v1.4.0, the open gates are the Delivery sales-scheduling-surface v1.3.0 ones, so Revenue stands by with nothing owed
