Webhook Ingress Boundary
Keep public webhook ingress small, authenticated and validation-focused before handing work to deeper automation.

Evidence tier describes my hands-on relationship with the content. Official sources describe platform contracts/documentation. Production observations should not automatically be treated as official limits.
Problem
Public endpoints are exposed to malformed payloads, retries, bots and upstream mistakes.
Approach
Terminate TLS, rate-limit where appropriate, verify auth/signature, validate schema, assign a request ID and only then trigger business side effects.
More upfront plumbing
Requires explicit error contracts
Much smaller blast radius and easier incident triage
