james c93bff28b0 chore(openspec): archive add-flash-sales
Sync the flash-sales capability plus the order, frontend-mall, and
frontend-shop-admin requirements into the main specs, and write the capability
Purpose the archive leaves as a placeholder.

Restate the flash-price and coupon-exclusion scenarios in the group-buying
order delta, since its MODIFIED checkout block must carry the scenarios the main
order spec now has.

flash-sales Specification

Purpose

Let a shop run timed flash sales on its own SKUs. A session owns a window and per-SKU activity items with fixed pricing, reserved inventory, and a per-customer limit. Shoppers browse only active sessions, and checkout resolves activity pricing server-side: eligible quantity gets the activity price while any remainder keeps the catalog price, both inventories decrement together, and a pending-payment cancellation restores them. Activity pricing and coupons are mutually exclusive on one shop order.

Requirements

Requirement: Shop flash-sale configuration

Shop users SHALL manage only their own timed flash-sale sessions and SKU activity items. An item SHALL have a fixed minor-unit sale price, currency, reserved stock, per-customer limit, and belong to an active SKU owned by the session shop. The service SHALL reject a SKU that already has an overlapping active group-buying activity.

Scenario: cross-shop SKU rejected

  • WHEN a merchant adds another shop's SKU to a flash-sale session
  • THEN the API rejects it without creating an activity item

Scenario: overlapping group-buy SKU rejected

  • WHEN a merchant adds a SKU that already has an overlapping active group-buying activity
  • THEN the API rejects it without creating an activity item

Requirement: Public active flash-sale discovery

Customers SHALL list active sessions and their eligible products with current sale price, remaining activity stock, and sell-through information. Inactive, disabled, or elapsed items SHALL not be purchasable as flash-sale items.

Scenario: window closes

  • WHEN a session end time has passed
  • THEN it is absent from active discovery and checkout applies the normal SKU price

Requirement: Flash-sale purchase limit and inventory

Checkout SHALL enforce the activity's remaining stock and each customer's purchase limit atomically with normal SKU stock. A successful order SHALL retain the applied activity item and final price snapshot.

Scenario: quantity exceeds limit

  • WHEN a customer checks out a flash-sale SKU above the remaining per-customer allowance
  • THEN only eligible activity quantity receives the activity price and any other quantity follows normal availability and price
