Build With Explicit Contracts And Runtime Guardrails

Zentra is designed for teams that need typed APIs, replay-safe callbacks, and operator-visible traces before the first production cutover.

  • 01Versioned contracts
  • 02Replay-safe callbacks
  • 03Tenant-scoped auth

Stable APIs

v1

Versioned contract discipline.

Webhook Auth

HMAC

Signature verification required.

Write Safety

Idempotent

Replay-safe financial operations.

Auth Boundaries

Tenant Aware

Scoped access across environments.

Create a transfer. Receive a webhook. Inspect the ledger.

The developer path should feel immediate and testable, with sandbox, docs, webhook verification, and ledger state connected in one flow.

create runtime intent

await zentra.runtime.intents.create({
  intent_id: "intent_042",
  scope: "workspace_scope",
  money_model: "minor_units + ledger_currency",
  primitives: ["policy", "ledger", "events"]
})

The first API call should show what happened in the product: state, ledger, webhook, and evidence.

Result: one ledger-safe state transition

Delivery state remains visible without creating duplicate financial state.

Docs, SDKs, and runbooks built around the way production actually fails.

Start with stable contracts, validate replay-safe webhook behavior, and promote the same semantics to production without changing the operating language.

API Reference

Versioned contract documentation for payment-critical endpoints.

SDK Guides

Language-specific integration workflows and samples.

Webhook Patterns

Signature verification, retries, and replay-safe consumer handling.

Production Playbooks

Rollout guidance for sandbox-to-production promotion.

  • Partner Portal

  • Mobile API
  • Service Mesh
  • Policy Engine

03

Evidence

Money state

  • Ledger Engine
  • Transfers
  • Cards

Deterministic money movement and tenant isolation enforced across every layer.

request > policy > ledger > evidence

  • Versioned route boundaries and predictable schema evolution.
  • Stable error semantics for reconciliation and runbook automation.
  • Backward-compatible migration paths for long-lived clients.

Sandbox parity

Sandbox pathways are contract-equivalent to production endpoints.

Webhook resilience

Callback handling is designed for retries, timeouts, and replay safety.

Security controls

Never process callback payloads before signature verification.

Never process webhook payloads before signature verification, and never apply money-affecting writes without idempotency checks.
