+
+## TAP Receipt Processing Investigation Guide
+
+If you encounter issues where receipts are stored but not processed (unaggregated fees remain 0), follow this systematic debugging approach:
+
+### Step 1: Check System Health
+
+```bash
+# Look for panics that crash the notification system
+docker logs tap-agent 2>&1 | grep -E "(panic|PANIC)" | tail -5
+
+# Verify receipt watchers are running
+docker logs tap-agent | grep "receipts watcher started" | tail -2
+```
+
+### Step 2: Test Notification System
+
+```bash
+# Send test notification to verify the system receives them
+docker exec postgres psql -U postgres -d indexer_components_1 -c "NOTIFY tap_horizon_receipt_notification, '{\"id\": 1, \"collection_id\": \"5819cd0eb33a614e8426cf3bceaced9d47e178c8\", \"signer_address\": \"0xf39fd6e51aad88f6f4ce6ab8827279cfffb92266\", \"timestamp_ns\": 1000000000, \"value\": 100}';"
+
+# Check if notification was processed (should see logs)
+docker logs tap-agent --tail 20
+```
+
+### Step 3: Verify Database Triggers
+
+```bash
+# Check trigger function exists
+docker exec postgres psql -U postgres -d indexer_components_1 -c "SELECT pg_get_functiondef(oid) FROM pg_proc WHERE proname = 'tap_horizon_receipt_notify';"
+
+# Verify trigger is attached
+docker exec postgres psql -U postgres -d indexer_components_1 -c "SELECT tgname, relname FROM pg_trigger JOIN pg_class ON tgrelid = pg_class.oid WHERE tgname LIKE '%notify%';"
+```
+
+### Step 4: Clear Problematic Data (if needed)
+
+```bash
+# If malformed data causes issues, clear and restart
+docker exec postgres psql -U postgres -d indexer_components_1 -c "TRUNCATE tap_horizon_receipts CASCADE;"
+docker exec postgres psql -U postgres -d indexer_components_1 -c "TRUNCATE scalar_tap_receipts CASCADE;"
+just reload
+```
+
+### Expected Behavior
+
+- ✅ Receipt watchers start without panics
+- ✅ Test notifications are received and logged
+- ✅ Database triggers send properly formatted notifications
+- ✅ Receipts are processed into unaggregated fees
+- ✅ System runs continuously without crashes
+
+### Key Files for TAP Processing
