Description

Build infrastructure to verify GitHub webhook delivery and enable replay of webhook events, ensuring that missed or failed webhook deliveries can be detected and reprocessed.

Requirements and Context

  • Reliability: Missed webhook deliveries must be detectable and replayable
  • Testing: Test delivery verification and replay
  • Documentation: Document the replay infrastructure

Suggested Execution

Branch: feat/issue-118-github-webhook-delivery-replay

Implement Changes

  • Track expected vs received GitHub webhook deliveries
  • Detect missed deliveries by comparing against GitHub's delivery log
  • Add a replay mechanism to reprocess missed or failed deliveries
  • Verify replayed events are processed idempotently

Test and Commit

  • Test missed delivery detection
  • Test idempotent replay of events
  • Document the replay infrastructure

Example Commit Message
