    You say

    Our Java/Spring order service starts a @Transactional method before loading fraud configuration from another service, then writes Order and PaymentAttempt rows, calls the payment provider while the transaction is still open, publishes a Kafka event, and finally commits. We see long lock waits, and when the provider succeeds but the DB commit fails the customer can be charged without an order. Another retry sometimes repeats the provider call. Repair transaction scope in the repository using local fixtures. Do not touch production data, call the real payment provider, change live isolation settings, or decide which payment outcomes are commercially reversible.

    Your agent does

    Transaction-scope drift found. The transaction starts before remote I/O, holds locks across a payment-provider call, publishes before commit, and retries across an uncertain external outcome. The repair narrows the DB transaction, persists durable intent, moves external work after commit, uses outbox/after-commit handoff, separates retry boundaries, and adds rollback tests. Payment business policy and production behavior remain unverified.

    What you get

    Reduce database lock duration by moving I/O outside transactions.Prevent external side effects from firing on rolled-back transactions.Standardize transaction ownership across repositories and services.Implement deterministic rollback testing for complex business operations.

    About this skill

    Transaction bugs often come from scope rather than SQL syntax. A request may open a transaction before remote I/O, hold locks while calling a provider, publish events before commit, swallow database errors inside an atomic block, or retry work whose commit outcome is uncertain.

    Repair Transaction Scope Drift gives an AI coding agent a repository workflow for reconstructing transaction ownership and failure timelines, shortening transaction lifetime, normalizing nested/savepoint behavior, separating remote side effects from database atomicity, using durable after-commit/outbox handoffs, and building deterministic rollback tests.

    It does not touch production data, change live isolation settings, call real providers, invent business atomicity, or pretend a database rollback can undo an external side effect.
