Two coupled changes:
1. Lite tier
- New Tier.LITE in src/license/schema.py.
- FEATURES_BY_TIER[Tier.LITE] = {Deduplicator, Text Cleaner,
Format Standardizer}. The three universally-useful tools that
cover the most common bookkeeping / RevOps / Klaviyo prep
workflows. Other six tools require Core.
- i18n: license.tier_lite, license.feature_locked_title,
license.feature_locked_body, license.upgrade_link,
license.status_locked (en + es).
- Per-tool feature gate at every GUI tool page
(require_feature_or_render_upgrade) and every tool CLI
(guard(feature=...)). A locked tool renders an upgrade
prompt + Manage-license button (GUI) or exits with code 2
(CLI).
- Home grid: tool cards the user's tier doesn't unlock get a
red 🔒 Locked badge in place of green Ready.
2. Trial removed
- Activation form's "Start 1-year trial" button removed.
- license_cli's `trial` subcommand removed.
- activation.trial_button / activation.trial_help i18n keys
dropped (pack parity test stays green).
- Tier.TRIAL stays in the enum (back-compat with any field-
tested trial licenses); LicenseManager._mint stays internal
for tests and the seller's key generator.
- Decision logged in DECISIONS §9b: a 1-year all-features
trial undercuts paid Lite; paid-only keeps tier economics
clean.
Tests (+29 net): +17 Lite-tier unit/guard tests + 13 Lite-tier
GUI tests + 1 trial-absent assertion - 2 trial CLI tests - 1
trial GUI button test. Total: 1995 → 2024.
