Important Notes

Pre-start Checks

• Gig must exist and not be started

• Wallet must have exact required funds

• Uses Redis lock to prevent concurrent starts

Post-start Effects

• Cannot modify gig after starting

• Records gig transaction

• Marks gig as production

Automatic Adjustments

• If start_time has passed, updates to current time

• End time adjusts accordingly
