Worked on evolving the PreAuth workflow within the KodyPay/kp-protocols-clientsdk repository, focusing on simplifying API integration and improving downstream service decision-making. The main feature involved removing GrpcPaymentMethodType from the PreAuth API, which reduced complexity in payment method handling and streamlined client onboarding. Additionally, extended the CaptureAuthorisationResponse and ReleaseAuthorisationResponse structures by introducing an AuthStatus field, providing clearer visibility into authentication state for capture and release authorisations. All changes were implemented using Protocol Buffers and gRPC, with careful attention to backward compatibility and alignment with the BAM-628 initiative to support faster, more reliable payment flow delivery.
November 2025 monthly summary for KodyPay/kp-protocols-clientsdk focusing on API evolution in the PreAuth workflow. Key achievements: - Removed GrpcPaymentMethodType from PreAuth API to simplify payment method handling (commits ce8c8addf90fa1fa0443cd52561333eef31398f7 and 01f24c0ddc8066fe1742eb7ee0109ebb73de8a4d). - Extended responses to expose authentication state by adding AuthStatus to CaptureAuthorisationResponse and ReleaseAuthorisationResponse, enabling downstream services to make informed authorization decisions. Major bugs fixed: - No major defects fixed this month. Focus remained on API surface changes and ensuring backward-compatibility with the updated PreAuth workflow. Overall impact and accomplishments: - API simplification reduces integration complexity for clients, shortens on-boarding time for new merchants, and improves visibility into authentication state during capture and release authorisations. - Changes support BAM-628 initiatives by reducing surface area and clarifying auth state, aiding faster delivery of payment flows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - API design and surface simplification in a gRPC-based PreAuth workflow - Back-end attribute/response extension (AuthStatus) for improved state reporting - Versioned commit discipline and traceability (BAM-628 alignment)
