- **Conflict Details:**
  - Transaction 1: TXN-2024-005678 (Reserve Conversion)
  - Transaction 2: TXN-2024-005679 (Reserve Conversion)
  - Conflict Type: Concurrent modification of same reserve account
  - Conflict Field: Reserve Balance
  - Detection: Database constraint violation
- **System Response:** Transaction 2 automatically rolled back, conflict logged

### 1.2 Conflict Analysis

  - Transaction 1: Continuing
  - Data integrity: Verified
  - Conflict log: Complete

### 2.2 User Notification
- **Time:** 10:18 UTC
- **Notification Method:** Application notification
- **Notification Content:**
  - Transaction conflict occurred
  - Transaction rolled back (no charges)
  - Reason: Concurrent transaction on same account
  - Action: Retry available after Transaction 1 completes
  - Estimated wait: 30 seconds

## STEP 3: TRANSACTION COMPLETION (T+35 seconds)

### 3.1 Transaction 1 Completion

  1. Implement optimistic locking for concurrent transactions
  2. Add conflict detection and automatic retry
  3. Enhance user notification for conflicts
  4. Improve transaction queuing
- **Enhancement Details:**
  - Optimistic locking: Implemented
