Idempotency Key Builder & Retry Safety Planner

Stop accidental double-charges, duplicated orders, and flaky retry behavior. Generate strong idempotency keys, fingerprint incoming requests, preview replay outcomes, and copy server/client snippets for a polished implementation.

Recommended flow

Require a unique key on every unsafe create operation.
Have the client generate it before sending the request, then reuse that same key when retrying due to timeouts or 5xx/network failures.

Store both the response and a fingerprint.
Fingerprint the normalized request body plus route/method/account so the same key cannot silently create a different resource.

Handle in-flight duplicates explicitly.
If the original call is still running, return a predictable pending response or ask the client to retry later.

Replay the original success, not a second side effect.
A duplicate request with the same fingerprint should produce the original status/body or a replay marker header.
