Disputes

Resolve Dispute

Submit a resolution verdict on a dispute.

Who can call this (FIX-P1-08 — recusal + neutral-resolver enforcement):

  1. A platform admin (X-Admin-Key) — neutral operator path, mirrors migration-004 'Manually resolve dispute (admin)'.
  2. An eligible, ASSIGNED human arbiter — ONLY when the feature flag EM_ARBITER_UNILATERAL_RESOLUTION=true is set (OFF by default).

A party to the dispute (publisher agent_id or the disputed executor_id) can NEVER resolve it — recusal is always enforced.

Verdict options:

  • 'release' -> worker wins, trigger Facilitator /settle
  • 'refund' -> agent wins, trigger Facilitator /refund
  • 'split' -> 422 split_settlement_unavailable (retryable: false), answered before the dispute is read: the dispute is left unchanged and no funds move. Split settlement is not available yet.

Side effects:

  • Updates disputes row (status, winner, resolution_type='manual', agent_refund_usdc, executor_payout_usdc)
  • Triggers the appropriate payment flow
  • Moves the task from 'disputed' to 'completed' (release) or 'cancelled' (refund)
  • Emits dispute.resolved event
