com.jithox/be-commerce-preflight · Verify this server

Search the queried retail source by free text or EAN. Returns CANDIDATE public records with deterministic match kinds and visible ambiguity: 'exact_public_record' / 'possible_match' / 'multiple_matches' / 'no_match_in_queried_source' — a no-match is never 'not sold', only 'not in the source we queried'. A provider without a search surface → 'unsupported'; outage → 'unavailable'; unconfigured source → 'not_configured' (costs nothing). Answers come from the queried source at the stated retrieval time — a UCP or ACP merchant, a partner catalog source, or a clearly-labelled synthetic fixture in dev/test; provenance.sourceAuthority names which, and every answer carries the markets that source declares. Preflight evidence only — this server never places, modifies or cancels an order and never touches a payment; the merchant stays merchant of record.
