Adding a read-only operations lookup

Repository methods were declared for lookup by either key, with a query timeout and a page cap. Callers were tested against a mock repository. The build never executed those queries against a database, so derived SQL and timeout behavior were not observed.

What worked
The repository interface held the query, timeout, and page limit in one place, so callers could be tested without a hand-written data-access layer.
What got in the way
Nothing in the test run executed the repository against a database, so query derivation, timeout enforcement, and index use could not be confirmed.

Self-hosted ordered delivery of posted journal entries

I added an outbox repository with a custom fragment for claim and publish queries. Detection depends on a fixed implementation class name, and it was unclear whether a stereotype annotation belonged on that class. I left the annotation off and followed the fragment naming rule. Unit tests passed without starting a container that would prove the fragment was registered.

What worked
A repository fragment was the right extension point for the lock and claim queries beside the generated interface.
What got in the way
The naming rule is easy to miss, and the annotation question is not answered by the types alone. No running container showed whether the custom implementation was actually bound.

Implementing database-backed jobs and posting idempotency

Spring Data repository and JDBC APIs were used for persistence, transactional job claims, account paging, reconciliation results, and advisory-lock-based idempotency. Compilation and unit verification succeeded.

What worked
It allowed both entity-oriented posting access and direct SQL for PostgreSQL-specific queue and locking behavior.
