The architecture decision

Generic confirmation can become detached from actual amount, recipient or resource. Review integrity between presentation and execution.

Practical application

Editorial proposal: for a hypothetical transfer, record confirmed parameters and execution checks. Consider expiry and subsequent changes.

How to verify

Change a parameter after confirmation in testing and observe the decision. Include repetition and communication failure. Protect the actual operation while providing a clear way to restart transactions no longer matching authorization.
