nexxo 8440266ed3 Stop charging for a service that has ended
Nothing in this application could cancel a Stripe subscription — there was
no such method on the client at all. So a customer who cancelled and a
consumer who withdrew both stayed subscribed, the card went on being
charged every month, and every one of those payments arrived as
invoice.paid, drew a real number out of the gapless Austrian series and
mailed the PDF, for a machine that had been switched off. Indefinitely.

StripeClient::cancelSubscription() closes the first half, with the timing
passed explicitly at the call site — CANCEL_AT_PERIOD_END for a
cancellation, because the customer keeps the term they paid for, and
CANCEL_IMMEDIATELY for a withdrawal, because that unwinds the contract and
the whole amount has just gone back. The immediate form states prorate and
invoice_now as false rather than inheriting them: a credit note of Stripe's
beside our own Storno would be the same money twice.

The second half is ApplyStripeBillingEvent::owesADocument(). Refusing every
invoice on a cancelled contract would lose the legitimate final one — the
cycle for a term the customer really did use, unpaid, dunned for three
weeks and settled after the contract ended. So the question is not when the
payment landed but what it is for: an invoice whose billed period STARTED
before the contract ended is documented, one whose period begins at or
after that moment is not. Neither is a contract marked cancelled with no
date, nor an invoice with no period, because a number handed out in error
can never be withdrawn while a missing document can still be issued. The
register entry is written either way — the money moved, and that is where an
operator finds what has to go back.

A cancellation also took its date from the order date plus MONTHS, whatever
the term said, so a yearly customer who cancelled in March lost the nine
months they had already paid for. It reads current_period_end now, which
Stripe keeps current for both terms; the month-walk survives only for a
machine with no contract behind it, where nothing records a term at all.
Stripe is asked first and our rows are written only if it agreed: a
cancellation we could not make effective is the defect above wearing a
"gekündigt" label on the settings page, and a cancellation has no deadline,
so being asked to try again costs nobody anything.

A withdrawal cancelled the OPENING invoice only, found by invoices.order_id
— which a renewal and a module document leave null on purpose. A storage
pack booked on day three and withdrawn from on day ten was therefore
neither cancelled nor refunded. Every charge inside the window is covered
now, one Storno per document and one refund per payment, each against the
payment that actually took it: a single refund of the total against the
opening PaymentIntent is what Stripe would have refused for exceeding it,
and one idempotency key for the whole withdrawal would have had Stripe
replay the first refund's answer for the second.

StartCustomerProvisioning::resume() opened a missing contract and returned,
and the only production call to IssueInvoice::forOrders() is after the order
commits — so a worker killed in between cost that customer their invoice for
good, silently, with nothing anywhere sweeping for it. resume() finishes that
work too, guarded by the invoice already filed against the order and by
invoices.sent_at, so however often Stripe redelivers it comes out as one
invoice, one number, one mail. The order confirmation stays on the first
pass alone: it has nothing to stamp.

subscriptions.cancel_requested_at is new because the billing half of the
application had no way to tell a cancelled contract from an untouched one.
Deliberately not a status: until the term runs out this is a paying
customer, which is the distinction EndInstanceService is built around, and
`cancelled_at` beside it still means the day it genuinely ended.

clupilot:verify-vat-ids is scheduled monthly on the first, and its docblock
no longer points at a note in routes/console.php that never existed. Reverse
charge rested on a one-off VIES answer, a withdrawn registration keeps
earning rate 0 for ever, and the unpaid VAT on those invoices is the
seller's — so the cadence is the width of that window, and the first of the
month is the rhythm the return is filed on.

Two tests that proved nothing are now about behaviour. SettingsTest asserted
service_ends_at was not null, a column the code had just written and which
the broken monthly arithmetic satisfied exactly as well as the right answer;
it states the yearly date, the contract's own record and the order to Stripe.
EndInstanceServiceTest travelled to whatever value the implementation had
computed, so it recomputed the code instead of checking it, and never looked
at billing at all; the boundary is a literal date now and the money stopping
is asserted beside the address coming down.

Stripe was charging the catalogue's NET figure while the document added the
domestic rate on top: a customer quoted 214,80 paid 179,00 and was then invoiced
for VAT nobody had collected. Under para 11(12) UStG that VAT is owed to the tax
office whether or not it ever arrived, so every document issued created a
liability against revenue that did not contain it.

The Stripe Price now carries the GROSS figure. price_cents stays net - it is
frozen onto every contract and PlanChange prorates against it, so redefining it
would corrupt every pro-rata sum ever computed. Only the amount at the till
moved, and it is formed by the one call TaxTreatment already answers for the
price sheet and for the invoice, so displayed, charged and invoiced cannot drift
apart.

Stripe's automatic_tax is deliberately not used. TaxTreatment is the single tax
authority here, and a second rate computed by Stripe would take 19 % from a
German consumer while our document said 20 %.

A Stripe Price cannot be edited, so a changed figure means a new Price and the
old one archived - which stops it being SOLD and leaves every subscription
already on it billing the old amount for ever. stripe:reprice-subscriptions is
the second half, and a command of its own because it touches live money.

A withdrawing consumer is refunded in full, as the owner decided. That is more
generous than FAGG para 16 requires, and it makes the express-request consent the
statute hinges on irrelevant - so the gate is gone rather than left looking
load-bearing.

Three things the product owed its customers and did not have.

**Who is on the other side.** There was no consumer/business flag anywhere,
and `vat_id` was standing in for one — which it cannot: a business without a
VAT number is an ordinary small business, and a consumer with one does not
exist. It is asked at sign-up now, correctable in the portal, and NULL where
nobody has been asked. Unknown is read as CONSUMER everywhere it decides a
right, because that mistake costs us a refund while the other one takes a
statutory right away from somebody who has it.

Reverse charge asks the recorded type instead of the number: an explicit
consumer is charged the domestic rate whatever `vat_id` says — previously they
were not, and anyone could zero their own VAT by getting a number verified. An
unrecorded type still falls back to the verified number, so no contract that is
already running changes rate.

**The fourteen-day right of withdrawal** (FAGG, §312g BGB), for consumers only,
at every door: the window is stamped on the contract when it is concluded, the
customer exercises it from the portal, an operator records one that arrived by
telephone or post, and both go through one action that refuses a business
customer on the server rather than by hiding a card.

The money follows the paperwork rather than being computed beside it. The
invoice is cancelled by a Storno with its own gapless number — nothing is ever
edited or deleted — a new invoice states the pro-rata value of the service
actually delivered (FAGG §16, by days over the term paid for), and the refund
is exactly the difference between the two documents. Where the consumer never
expressly asked for the service to begin at once, they owe nothing and the whole
amount goes back. `StripeClient::refund()` is new, keyed so a retry cannot send
the money twice. The service ends through EndInstanceService and the
`cancellation_scheduled` machinery that was already there.

**The cancel button for modules.** BookAddon::cancelAtPeriodEnd() had no caller
in the interface at all, so a customer could book a recurring charge in two
clicks and had no way to stop it. It is on the module card now, with the date it
runs until and a way back while the cancellation is still pending — and putting
a module back settles nothing, because the term it was cancelled for was paid
for in advance.
