# Verify iOS resumed saves reconcile their receipt

Exercise an iOS save spanning an externally controlled background transition, verifying a single committed record and an accurate resumed completion state.

## Risk

The app may commit a request while suspended and lose the response. The resumed screen must reconcile the result without sending a duplicate write or telling the user the data was lost.

## Fixtures

- An iOS sandbox build with explicit use.mobile.appState: preserve and a disposable order-draft account.
- An external lifecycle controller prepared to background and resume the app during a sandbox server response delay; agent-qa does not supply this device control.
- A project-owned fixture that records request identifiers, committed orders, and delayed-response release, using only a fake checkout backend.

## Steps

1. Open the fake order draft, verify its line items and nonpayable test total, and submit it once while the delayed-response fixture is active.
2. Verify the external controller reports the prepared background transition after the server accepted the request, then resumes the same app session.
3. On return, verify the app resolves its pending state to the committed order receipt with the expected total and identifier.
4. Navigate to order history and verify one matching order; open it and verify the same items and receipt identifier.
5. Inspect the independent request ledger and verify one order was committed even if the product retried transport, with any repeated attempts sharing the documented operation identity.

## Expected results

- The resumed UI displays the committed receipt rather than an indefinite spinner or false failure.
- History contains one logical order with the intended sandbox total and items.
- The server ledger contains no duplicate logical purchase or fulfillment task.

## False-pass traps

- A success screen from an earlier order can mask failure to reconcile the new save.
- Counting network attempts instead of logical committed orders can misclassify an idempotent retry.

## Cleanup

- Delete or void the fake order and return lifecycle and response-delay fixtures to baseline.

## Use with agent-qa

Adapt this test design to your application's acceptance criteria and configured target using the [recipe execution guide](/agent-library/software-factory/turn-a-recipe-into-an-agent-qa-test.md). External fixture setup and non-UI checks require your own supported hooks or test tooling. Validate the authored test, execute it, and inspect the completed evidence; this recipe is not a recorded test result.
