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.

A complete offline licensing layer (no internet at any step):
Core
- src/license/ — schema (License, Tier, FeatureFlag), HMAC crypto,
JSON storage, LicenseManager singleton with activate/renew/
deactivate/issue_trial. Tier-scaffolded so future SKUs can carve
per-tool feature sets without consumer-code edits.
- scripts/generate_license.py — creator-only key generator. Mints a
DTLIC1: blob the buyer pastes into the activation page.
GUI
- New activation form component (src/gui/components/activation.py).
- hide_streamlit_chrome() now inline-renders the activation form when
no valid license is present (every page short-circuits to the form
until activated).
- Sidebar shows tier + days remaining; renewal warning under 30 days.
- New pages/_Activate.py for revisiting the form after activation.
CLI
- src/license_cli.py — activate / renew / status / trial / deactivate
commands. Exempt from the guard.
- src/cli_license_guard.py — drop-in guard call added to every tool
CLI's main(). Lets --help through; respects DATATOOLS_DEV_MODE.
i18n
- New activation.* and license.* keys in en.json + es.json
(page title, form labels, status badges, renewal warnings, error
messages). Pack parity test stays green.
Test infrastructure
- tests/conftest.py autouse fixture sets DATATOOLS_DEV_MODE=1 so the
existing 1916 tests continue to pass.
- isolated_license_path / activated_license_manager /
unactivated_license_manager fixtures for tests that want to drive
the real check.
Tests (+79)
- tests/test_license.py (40): schema, crypto roundtrip, blob
encode/decode, tier→feature mapping, activation flow, name/email
mismatch rejection, tamper detection, expiration, renewal,
dev-mode bypass.
- tests/test_license_cli.py (26): every license_cli command +
subprocess tests confirming every tool CLI refuses to run without
a license, --help always works, DEV_MODE bypasses.
- tests/gui/test_activation.py (13): gate blocks without license,
passes with trial, activation form submission unlocks the gate,
sidebar status, renewal warning, i18n.
Total: 1916 → 1995 tests. All pass under the strict warning filter.
