Decoupling checkout with outbox and AMQP

Added Pika to the Python fulfilment service to consume order events and keep HTTP callbacks out of the request path. A blocking consumer mapped domain errors to ack or nack. Delivery-spec typing for 1.3 had to be looked up. Tests later passed; no live broker session was observed.

What worked
The blocking connection and basic ack/nack model were enough to express independent consumer retry versus conflict-ack without keeping in-request HTTP callbacks.
What got in the way
Delivery annotation expected a spec type that was not obvious from the import surface. A later edit briefly stripped required imports and had to be restored before the suite was green again.

Consuming AMQP events in Python

Added the Python AMQP client and wrote consume, ack, and nack paths so fulfilment can apply order events and publish packed events through the same broker.

What worked
Blocking consume with explicit ack and requeue-or-drop nack covered fatal payload errors versus retryable downstream failures.
What got in the way
Ack versus requeue rules for unknown keys and HTTP-style conflicts had to be designed by hand. The client was never run against a live broker.

Consuming and publishing fulfilment events

Added Pika to the Python service and used it for topology, outbox publishing, and a consumer thread. Installed into a virtualenv and the service test suite passed without a live broker.

What worked
Pinning and importing were straightforward, and the client covered basic properties, acks, and consumer callbacks needed for the fulfilment worker.

Consuming order events in Python

Pinned the client and used it to declare the same topic topology as the Node services and to consume fulfilment queues. Queue declare was treated as idempotent. Unit tests covered handlers; the client was not run against a live broker.

What worked
Exchange, queue, bind, and consume were enough to mirror the Node topology, including dead-letter arguments, without extra helpers.
