tips

Check Tip Status

Poll the payment status of a tip invoice.

Status values: pending (invoice issued, awaiting payment), paid (settled — observed by the payment_poller worker), expired (invoice TTL elapsed without payment), failed (LN payment encountered a hard error). Clients poll this while waiting on the invoice QR; production payment-arrival is push-driven server-side, this endpoint just exposes it.

Authorization: only the tipper or the tip recipient (author) can read the status. Everyone else gets 403 FORBIDDEN even though they could theoretically guess the tip ID — protects the payment-flow visibility surface.
