The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This change adds a warning in the bookkeeper plugin when it tries to fetch a currency exchange rate for a payment event that happened more than 60 seconds ago. It is a defensive logging fix to avoid applying a current exchange rate to stale historical events. There is no vulnerability being exploited; it is a correctness and audit-quality improvement.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal code-quality/logging improvement. Operators who see the new warning should understand that currency conversion was skipped for stale events and that historical bookkeeping may be incomplete for those entries.

Security signals we found

01

Defensive correctness check added to avoid misattributing current exchange rates to stale events

02

LOG_BROKEN warning introduced for stale currency-rate requests

03

Rate-limiting of warning to first occurrence to avoid log spam

04

Regression test added for stale-event handling
