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.

- USER-GUIDE EN + ES gain a §0 "First launch — activation" section
covering paid blob activation, 1-year trial, renewal, file
location, and device-swap.
- REQUIREMENTS §17a "Licensing" — storage path, activation model,
lifetime, tier list, dev bypass env var. Test count: 1995.
- DEVELOPER gains a "Licensing" recipe in the Extension recipes
section: public API, feature-flag add, tier add, minting via the
creator-only script.
- DECISIONS §9b — log the offline-HMAC choice with the threat-model
trade-off (motivated piracy not stopped; honor-system + 30-day
refund covers casual sharing).

README + USER-GUIDE describe the sidebar picker and current coverage
(home + shared chrome, per-tool bodies pending). DEVELOPER gains a
how-to for adding packs and keys with the parity-test guarantee.
TECHNICAL §10b records the in-house-JSON architecture and locks in the
no-gettext decision (also logged in DECISIONS). REQUIREMENTS reflects
the new interface surface and updated test count. COPY.md adds a
"Language claim" slot so landing/email work can pick it up.
