commerce: cart line items + add/remove/set-qty + relational view (18 tests)
cart.sx — cart as an ordered list of (sku variant qty) lines. Pure
operations: cart-add (merge-or-append), cart-set-qty (0 removes),
cart-remove, with cart-qty/count/skus/empty? accessors. cart-lineo
exposes lines relationally via membero. Total 34/34.

# commerce-on-sx: Catalog, cart, pricing & orders on miniKanren
> **DRAFT outline.** The revenue vertical. Depends on `persist-on-sx` (durable
> orders) and `flow-on-sx` (checkout as a durable flow). Don't start before
> persist-on-sx Phase 1 is green.
rose-ash's revenue engine — market (catalog), cart (checkout), orders (SumUp
payment, reconciliation) — has no SX subsystem. The hard part of commerce isn't
CRUD; it's **pricing**: discounts, bundles, tax, membership rates, promotions that
stack (or don't). These are relations, and a relational engine can run them in
multiple directions — forward ("what's the total?") and backward ("what promo code
yields this total?", "which line item triggered the discount?").
That's a miniKanren fit. Pricing/promotion rules are relational; cart and order
*lifecycle* (reserve → pay → fulfil → reconcile) is a durable `flow`; the order
ledger is a `persist` stream. Commerce is the first real **composition** subsystem.
End-state: a catalog model, a relational pricing/promotion engine, a cart with
deterministic totals, and an order lifecycle flow with payment-webhook
reconciliation — all auditable via the event log.
## Status (rolling)
`bash lib/commerce/conformance.sh`**34/34** (2 suites: catalog, cart)
## Ground rules
- **Scope:** only `lib/commerce/**` and `plans/commerce-on-sx.md`. May **import**
from `lib/minikanren/`, and (once they exist) `lib/persist/` + `lib/flow/`. Do not
edit substrates.
- **Architecture:** prices/promotions are miniKanren relations over catalog facts;
a cart total is a *deterministic* query result (first solution under a fixed rule
order). Order lifecycle is a `flow` that suspends at the payment IO boundary.
Money is integer minor units — never floats.
- **Determinism:** promotion stacking must have explicit, tested precedence;
totals must be reproducible from the cart + catalog snapshot.
- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Progress log + tick boxes.
## Architecture sketch
```
Catalog + cart Total / order
product(id,price,tags) {:subtotal :discounts :tax :total}
│ ▲
▼ │
lib/commerce/catalog.sx lib/commerce/price.sx
— product / variant / stock facts — miniKanren pricing relations
│ — promo stacking, membership rates
▼ ▲
lib/commerce/cart.sx lib/commerce/order.sx (flow + store)
— line items, quantities — reserve→pay→fulfil→reconcile
│ — SumUp webhook = flow resume
▼ │
lib/commerce/api.sx ── (commerce/add) (commerce/total) (commerce/checkout) ──┘
```
## Phase 1 — Catalog + cart + deterministic totals
- [x] `catalog.sx` — product/variant/stock as facts
- [x] `cart.sx` — line items, add/remove/qty
- [ ] `price.sx` — base pricing relation, subtotal; tax
- [ ] `api.sx` + tests + scoreboard + conformance.sh
## Phase 2 — Promotions (relational)
- [ ] promo rules: percentage, fixed, bundle, member rate
- [ ] explicit stacking precedence; "best price" backward query
- [ ] tests: stacking order, mutually-exclusive promos, member vs guest
## Phase 3 — Order lifecycle (flow + store)
- [ ] order flow: reserve stock → await payment → fulfil
- [ ] payment webhook resumes the suspended flow
- [ ] order ledger as a `persist` stream; idempotent reconciliation
## Phase 4 — Reconciliation + federation
- [ ] mismatch detection (paid≠ordered) as queries over the ledger
- [ ] cross-instance catalog (federated marketplace) — out-of-scope stub
- [ ] tests: webhook replay, partial refund, double-charge guard
## Progress log
- 2026-06-06 — `cart.sx`: cart as an ordered list of (sku variant qty) lines.
Pure ops `cart-add` (merges same line / appends), `cart-set-qty` (0 removes),
`cart-remove`, plus `cart-qty`/`cart-count`/`cart-skus`/`cart-empty?`.
`cart-lineo` is the relational view (membero over the cart) — forward and
backward. cart suite 18/18; total 34/34.
- 2026-06-06 — `catalog.sx`: catalog snapshot (products/variants/stock as fact
tuples) + multidirectional accessor relations (`producto`/`varianto`/`stocko`,
derived `priceo`/`classo`/`unit-priceo`) + deterministic `catalog-price`/
`-class`/`-has?` helpers. `conformance.sh` harness + scoreboard. catalog suite
16/16. Gotcha: minikanren `run-n` macro binds `s` internally — query vars must
avoid `s`; tests compare reified results with `=` (not `equal?`, which fails on
reified lists). Money = integer minor units throughout.
