Code Review: E-Commerce Order Service

Problem/Feature Description

You are conducting a design review of an e-commerce platform's order processing service. The team has been experiencing maintainability issues - developers frequently conflict when merging changes, tests are difficult to write, and adding new payment methods requires modifying existing stable code.

The codebase has evolved organically over 18 months and now contains several design issues that need to be identified and documented. Your goal is to perform a thorough design review, identify the root causes of the maintainability problems, and provide actionable recommendations.

Output Specification

Create a design review report called design-review.md that:

1. Classifies what type of design decision this review involves (architectural, tactical, or foundational)
2. Applies SOLID principles - analyze each class/interaction for violations of Single Responsibility, Open-Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion principles
3. Identifies anti-patterns - document any god classes, circular dependencies, hardcoded secrets, or direct concrete coupling you find
4. Provides recommendations using BAD/GOOD format showing problematic code and the recommended fix
5. Documents tradeoffs - for your key recommendations, explain alternatives considered, why you chose the recommended approach, and potential risks

The review should be comprehensive enough that another developer could use it as a guide for refactoring.
