💾 Data Flow

Sell Endpoint (POST /api/inventory/sell):

Development Mode (BYPASS_BOT_REQUIREMENT=true):

1. Validate items & trade URL
2. Generate mock verification code (6 chars)
3. Create Trade record in database
4. Send WebSocket notification (trade_created)
5. Return trade details to frontend

Production Mode (with Steam bots):

1. Validate items & trade URL
2. Get best available bot
3. Bot generates verification code
4. Bot creates Steam trade offer
5. Bot confirms with 2FA
6. Create Trade record in database
7. Send WebSocket notifications (trade_creating, trade_sent, trade_confirmed, trade_created)
8. Return trade details to frontend

Trade Completion Flow:

User accepts trade in Steam:

1. Steam API notifies bot
2. Bot emits tradeAccepted event
3. Backend event listener catches it
4. Update Trade.state = "accepted"
5. Credit user balance
6. Create Transaction record
7. Send WebSocket notifications (trade_accepted, trade_completed, balance_update)
8. Frontend auto-updates modal & removes from pending list
