 # `@ubiquibot/permit-generation`
 
-- The purpose of this module is to isolate the permit generation capabilities. 
-- For security reasons, only the `ubiquibot-kernel` should be able to communicate with this (instead of plugins being able to invoke this directly.)

 ### Input
 
 The input should be an array of permit descriptors:
 
-```json
-{ 
+```typescript
+type PermitGenerationInput { 
   username: string;
   amount: string;
   address: string;
-  task: GitHubIssue | null; 
+  task: GitHubIssue | null;  
+  transfer: boolean;
+  evmPrivateKeyEncrypted
 }[]
 ```
+###### Remarks
+
+Mixed feelings on the following:
 
-### Processing
+`task` - Payments can possibly be for any reason from any plugin developer in our system, but in the foreseeable future I think that they should be associated with a GitHub issue. 
+`transfer` - For automatically transferring the funds vs generating a permit. If we have access to the private key, we have the ability to make a transfer on their behalf. 
 
-####### Data Validation
+### Processing  
 
-1. Look up the GitHub global user ID (number) that corresponds with the username. Check if a user ID exists (does the user exist?), otherwise log an error and proceed. [^1^]

 2. Parse the amount and see if its a valid number.
 3. ~~Look up the address on chain to see if a token exists there. If not, throw an error.~~
-4. Verify that the `task.id` exists on GitHub. If not, throw an error. 
+4. Verify that the `task.id` exists on GitHub. If not, throw an error. If it is `null` then skip this validation.
 5. Record all the results in our database. `public.permits`
 
-[^1^]: we pass in the username for enhanced developer experience for plugin development. I believe it will be much easier to use GitHub usernames and let the system do the lookup. 
+###### Other
+
+- We need to instruct partner repositories to enable access to repository/organization secrets, especially for `evmPrivateKey`
+- The bot should read the secret directly by authenticating based on the installation ID, app private key, and app ID. 
+
+### Return
+
+Return value should just be an array of generated permits. A seperate module can convert them into URLs for pay.ubq.fi. 
+
+[^1^]: I have mixed feelings on this because I trust encryption to handle this, but intuitively I believe it makes sense to create a wall from the payments system for the plugin developer community. Perhaps we can check the IP address of the Cloudflare Worker or some other better built in authentication mechanism.
