Plans lived in config/provisioning.php, where the owner cannot reach them and
where a plan has no history. They now live in plan_families / plan_versions /
plan_prices — a name that never moves, what the plan WAS at a point in time,
and a price per version and term with its own Stripe Price id.
- Availability is computed on every read (available_from <= now < until,
half-open, UTC) plus a per-family sales kill switch. Nothing schedules a plan
into or out of sale: a job that fails to run is a plan that silently
misbehaves.
- Overlaps crash rather than resolve. currentVersion() uses sole(), and
scheduling takes a lock on the family and rejects an overlapping window —
two versions on sale at once would decide a customer's price by row order.
- A version is frozen from publication, not from first sale, and so is its
price: a checkout is not instant, and an amount edited between the session
opening and the webhook landing would contract someone at a price they were
never quoted. Repricing publishes a new version, as Stripe requires anyway.
- Neither a published version, its price, nor a family with customers can be
deleted, and a family key cannot be renamed. All of those would null the
provenance off existing contracts.
- Subscriptions and orders record plan_version_id. A historical reference
resolved by plan NAME hands back today's terms, which is the split-brain one
level up. A checkout that carried its version is honoured even after the
window closes — they paid for what they were shown.
Switched atomically and failing closed: config('provisioning.plans') and
plan_features are gone, and nothing falls back to them. A fallback would
resurrect a plan the owner had just switched off. The seed lives in the
migration, and PlanCatalogueTest pins what the config catalogue sold as the
shadow comparison. `php artisan plans:check` reports overlaps, gaps and
missing prices before a customer finds them.
Contract-backed displays, which were reading the live catalogue:
seat limits, the cloud card, the plan card, and admin MRR — the last three now
divide a yearly contract down via Subscription::monthlyPriceCents(), since all
three label the figure per month.
Two recovery gaps closed along the way: the order now commits before the
contract is opened (so a contract failure can never erase the record of a
payment), a Stripe retry repairs a missing contract and restarts a run stranded
with no_subscription, and TickProvisioning sweeps runs left pending by a crash
rather than only running/waiting ones.
402 tests green. Codex review clean after thirteen rounds. Verified in the
browser: portal, billing and console render unchanged off the new catalogue.
