Stripe & credits

Honest payment labels and credit usage.

No card to start

Start building free. UI shows NO CREDIT CARD NEEDED on /pricing and /build.

If Stripe keys or price IDs are missing, UI shows PAYMENT NOT LIVE. No fake checkout success.

Use /stripe for env readiness, product/price drafts, webhook checklist, and evidence parser.

AI-heavy actions may consume credits. Ledger updates only from verified Stripe webhooks or starter grants.

Portal opens only when Stripe is configured and a customer record exists — otherwise CUSTOMER PORTAL NOT LIVE.
