+# TODO - Known Issues and Improvements
+
+*Last updated: 2026-02-04*
+
+These items were identified during automated review but are acceptable for merge.
+Contributions to address these items are welcome.
+
+## Issues
+
+### Critical
+
+- [ ] **skills/paddle-webhooks/references/verification.md**: The verification guide includes SDK examples but they don't match the feedback from Paddle team. Need to update SDK verification examples to match Paddle's official SDK middleware approach
+  - Suggested fix: Update SDK examples in verification.md to use paddle.notifications.verify() and paddle.notifications.unmarshal() methods as shown in the official Paddle SDK documentation
+
+### Major
+
+- [ ] **skills/paddle-webhooks/examples/express/src/index.js**: Express example correctly implements SDK verification but the manual verification could be improved to match Paddle's official examples
+  - Suggested fix: Consider updating manual verification implementation to exactly match Paddle's official manual verification examples
+- [ ] **skills/paddle-webhooks/examples/fastapi/main.py**: FastAPI example correctly implements SDK verification but the manual verification could be improved to match Paddle's official examples
+  - Suggested fix: Consider updating manual verification implementation to exactly match Paddle's official manual verification examples
+- [ ] **skills/paddle-webhooks/examples/nextjs/app/webhooks/paddle/route.ts**: Next.js example correctly implements SDK verification but the manual verification could be improved to match Paddle's official examples
+  - Suggested fix: Consider updating manual verification implementation to exactly match Paddle's official manual verification examples
+
+### Minor
+
+- [ ] **skills/paddle-webhooks/references/verification.md**: The replay protection example shows toleranceSeconds as 5 but the comment incorrectly says it's in seconds when it should clarify it's comparing seconds
+  - Suggested fix: Update line 184 comment to be clearer about the units being compared
+- [ ] **skills/paddle-webhooks/examples/fastapi/requirements.txt**: FastAPI version constraint is >=0.100.0 but latest stable is 0.128.0. Could be more specific
+  - Suggested fix: Consider using >=0.128.0 for FastAPI to ensure users get the latest stable version

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] fix: correct Paddle SDK verification methods based on
 official SDK source

Based on review of official Paddle SDK source code:
- Node.js: paddle.webhooks.unmarshal(body, secret, signature) not paddle.notifications.unmarshal()
- Python: Verifier().verify(request, Secret(...)) not paddle.notifications.unmarshal()

Changes:
- Express: Fix SDK method name and parameter order
- Next.js: Fix SDK method name and parameter order
- FastAPI: Update to use manual verification (SDK Verifier is Flask/Django specific)
- verification.md: Update SDK examples with correct method signatures

All tests pass (Express: 10, Next.js: 6, FastAPI: 12).

-These items were identified during automated review but are acceptable for merge.
-Contributions to address these items are welcome.
+These items were identified during review. Most SDK-related issues have been fixed.
 
-## Issues
+## Resolved Issues (2026-02-04)
 
-### Critical
+- [x] **SDK verification method**: Fixed to use correct `paddle.webhooks.unmarshal(body, secret, signature)` for Node.js
+- [x] **Python SDK pattern**: Updated to use `Verifier().verify(request, Secret(...))` pattern (note: FastAPI uses manual verification)
+- [x] **Parameter order**: Fixed Node.js examples to use correct order `(body, secretKey, signature)`
+- [x] **Documentation**: Updated verification.md with correct SDK examples
 
-- [ ] **skills/paddle-webhooks/references/verification.md**: The verification guide includes SDK examples but they don't match the feedback from Paddle team. Need to update SDK verification examples to match Paddle's official SDK middleware approach
-  - Suggested fix: Update SDK examples in verification.md to use paddle.notifications.verify() and paddle.notifications.unmarshal() methods as shown in the official Paddle SDK documentation
+## Remaining Items
 
-### Major
+### Minor
 
-- [ ] **skills/paddle-webhooks/examples/express/src/index.js**: Express example correctly implements SDK verification but the manual verification could be improved to match Paddle's official examples
-  - Suggested fix: Consider updating manual verification implementation to exactly match Paddle's official manual verification examples
-- [ ] **skills/paddle-webhooks/examples/fastapi/main.py**: FastAPI example correctly implements SDK verification but the manual verification could be improved to match Paddle's official examples
-  - Suggested fix: Consider updating manual verification implementation to exactly match Paddle's official manual verification examples
-- [ ] **skills/paddle-webhooks/examples/nextjs/app/webhooks/paddle/route.ts**: Next.js example correctly implements SDK verification but the manual verification could be improved to match Paddle's official examples
-  - Suggested fix: Consider updating manual verification implementation to exactly match Paddle's official manual verification examples
+- [ ] **FastAPI SDK support**: The Python SDK's `Verifier` class is designed for Flask/Django. Consider adding native FastAPI support in future.
+- [ ] **Version constraints**: Consider tightening FastAPI version constraint from `>=0.100.0` to `>=0.128.0`
 
-### Minor
+## Feedback for Paddle Team
 
-- [ ] **skills/paddle-webhooks/references/verification.md**: The replay protection example shows toleranceSeconds as 5 but the comment incorrectly says it's in seconds when it should clarify it's comparing seconds
-  - Suggested fix: Update line 184 comment to be clearer about the units being compared
-- [ ] **skills/paddle-webhooks/examples/fastapi/requirements.txt**: FastAPI version constraint is >=0.100.0 but latest stable is 0.128.0. Could be more specific
-  - Suggested fix: Consider using >=0.128.0 for FastAPI to ensure users get the latest stable version
