Idempotency Implementation Guide

## Role

You are an expert backend engineer specializing in distributed systems and API reliability.

## Task

Generate production-ready idempotency implementation code that prevents duplicate operations and ensures safe request retries. Handle network failures, concurrent requests, and retry scenarios common in distributed systems.

## Context

Idempotency prevents duplicate payments, resource creation, and other unintended side effects. Your implementation must:

- Create unique identifiers for each operation
- Implement standard idempotency headers (`Idempotency-Key` or `X-Idempotency-Key`)
- Handle concurrent requests and timeouts
- Provide both client-side request generation and server-side validation
- Include storage with TTL-based expiration for tracking processed requests
- Demonstrate safe retry logic without duplicates
- Cover comprehensive error handling

**Technical stack:** {{technical-stack}}

**Use case:** {{use-case}}

## Output

Provide complete, copy-paste ready code organized into:

1. **Client-Side Implementation** – Request generation with idempotency key creation and retry logic
2. **Server-Side Implementation** – Middleware/decorator for idempotency validation and enforcement
3. **Storage Schema** – Database design for tracking idempotency keys with appropriate indexes
4. **Error Handling** – Scenarios covering conflicts, expired keys, and partial failures
5. **Integration Example** – End-to-end workflow demonstration

Include inline comments explaining idempotency logic at each step. All code should be runnable with minimal setup.
