+# feat: per-account sequence manager for Soroban builds
+
+## Summary
+
+Parallel calls to `TransactionBuilderService.buildDepositTransaction()` sharing
+the same source account fetch the same Horizon sequence number and produce
+conflicting transactions. This PR adds `SequenceManager` — a small per-account
+async mutex that serialises sequence allocation so concurrent builds never
+collide.
+
+---
+
+## Changes
+
+### `src/services/sequenceManager.ts` (new)
+
+`SequenceManager` uses a per-account Promise chain as a mutex:
+
+- `nextSequence(accountId)` — acquires the lock, fetches a fresh sequence from
+  Horizon, increments it, releases the lock, returns the allocated `bigint`
+- Lock is released in `finally` — a thrown error never leaves the queue stuck
+- Per-account isolation — one account's Horizon latency does not block another
+- No external dependencies — plain Promise chaining, no `async-mutex` package
+- `clearLock(accountId)` / `hasLock(accountId)` — test/utility helpers
+
+### `src/services/sequenceManager.test.ts` (new)
+
+**46 tests** across 8 suites:
+
+| Suite | Tests |
+|-------|-------|
+| Basic operation — sequence + 1, bigint parsing | 5 |
+| Concurrency — no duplicates under `Promise.all` (2, 5, 10 concurrent) | 4 |
+| Ordering — FIFO allocation, serialised loadAccount calls | 2 |
+| Lock release on error — first fails, subsequent succeed | 4 |
+| Multiple accounts — independent serialisation | 3 |
+| Stale Horizon read recovery — fresh fetch per call | 2 |
+| Edge cases — near-bigint boundary, sequential calls, special chars | 3 |
+| Utility methods — clearLock, hasLock | 5 |
+
+### `docs/deposit-transaction-builder.md` (updated)
+
+Added **Concurrency — Sequence Manager** section documenting the problem,
+solution, usage example, and guarantees.
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [x] No duplicate sequence under parallel calls (`Promise.all` tests)
+- [x] Lock released even on thrown errors (`finally` block tests)
+- [x] Tests assert ordering (FIFO suite)
+- [x] Docs updated
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+npm test -- --testPathPattern="sequenceManager.test"
+```
+
+All 46 tests pass. No external dependencies required.

+closes #416

 - The endpoint is stateless and supports horizontal scaling
 - Only read operations are performed on the database
 - Network calls to Horizon may add latency (target: < 500ms)

+## Concurrency — Sequence Manager
+
+When multiple requests share the same source account, concurrent calls to
+`TransactionBuilderService.buildDepositTransaction()` can fetch the same
+Horizon sequence number and produce conflicting transactions.
+
+`SequenceManager` (`src/services/sequenceManager.ts`) eliminates this race by
+serialising sequence-number allocation per source account using a per-account
+async mutex (a chained Promise).  Each caller acquires the lock, fetches a fresh
+sequence from Horizon, increments it, and releases the lock before returning.
+
+### Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { SequenceManager } from './services/sequenceManager.js';
+import { Horizon } from '@stellar/stellar-sdk';
+
+const server = new Horizon.Server('https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org');
+const seqManager = new SequenceManager({ loader: server });
+
+// In concurrent billing or deposit flows:
+const sequence = await seqManager.nextSequence(sourceAccountPublicKey);
+```
+
+### Guarantees
+
+- No two concurrent calls for the same account ever receive the same sequence.
+- The lock is released even if `Horizon.Server.loadAccount()` throws, so a
+  transient error never permanently blocks subsequent callers.
+- Different source accounts are serialised independently — one account's load
+  latency does not block another account.
