An account that signs up through an invitation works on the inviter's
billing, so handing it a trial at signup spent its only trial before it
owned anything. The trial is now held back for collaborators and claimed
only explicitly: a Start Free Trial button on the new-workspace and
billing screens calls the new POST /api/billing/trial endpoint, which
grants the once-per-account trial atomically. Nothing starts the clock
as a side effect, and pure collaborators no longer see a trial-ending
banner about work that is not theirs.
The trial now starts inside the product, at email verification, and Stripe
grants none at all: checkout creates a subscription that bills immediately.
Verifying an address is what buys the seven days, which is also the cheapest
abuse control there is.
An unexpired trial is treated as an entitlement the account already holds, so a
Stripe sync can add access but never retracts a trial that has not run out. That
matters most for the abandoned checkout: the resulting incomplete subscription
carries no trial_end, and writing it through would have erased the days the
account still had and locked it out.
Unpaid accounts are bounded by what they can cost us rather than by what they
can do: one workspace, one project, 3 GiB of direct uploads. YouTube imports,
share links, guests, comments and approvals stay unlimited, because those are
the parts worth trying and they cost nothing. isPaidTier() is the new seam;
hasBillingAccess() answers a different question now that access no longer
implies a card.
Signup CTAs, the pricing card, the comparison pages, the terms and the refund
policy all said the trial converts to a paid plan by itself. It no longer does,
so they say what happens instead. Settings and a banner name both dates that
matter: when the trial ends, and the fifteen days after that during which
nothing is deleted.
/admin/growth compares the two funnels on signup to paid within a fixed 30 day
window, not trial to paid. Dropping the card requirement multiplies trials, so
the old ratio can fall while more people actually pay, and reading it that way
would retire the change for the wrong reason.
Second pass over the suite, driven by the inventory in the gaps document. Nine
agents wrote suites in parallel against private databases, then a tenth read all
of it adversarially and five of its findings were fixed.
unit + component 2076 -> 2079 (+888 over the round)
api 647 -> 1015
e2e 18 -> 29
What was closed:
- lib/route-access.ts, the page-level authorization layer, went from zero tests
to 48. Every API route was guarded and none of the pages were.
- The five media proxy routes now have a real 2xx beside every 403. The blocker
was the positive control, solved by stubbing r2Client.send() and leaving
lib/r2-media-proxy.ts itself real.
- Every remaining server-side lib module: invitations, email verification, the
upload tokens, the logger, request origin, the whole R2 and Bunny lifecycle,
notifications and admin stats.
- Six video-page hooks, and the chunking arithmetic extracted out of
lib/client/r2-video-upload.ts as a pure module.
- Five end-to-end flows: workspace members, bulk operations, the admin area,
player interaction and failure recovery.
Three things about the harness itself turned out to be wrong:
- Two @/lib/r2 stubs in tests/setup/api.ts had the wrong return shape, so every
route reaching finalizeR2VideoUpload silently took the "not a valid video"
branch and no test noticed.
- The auth matrix asserted only "not 2xx", which two entries satisfied without
their guard existing. It now requires 401 or 403, which makes both
load-bearing, and all 60 routes pass the stricter form.
- Both admin API routes had no positive control anywhere: replacing their guard
with an unconditional refusal left the entire suite green. Found by the
adversarial review, now covered.
Process:
- bun run test:mutation runs StrykerJS over the authorization and validation
modules. Diagnostic, not a gate, weekly in CI rather than on a push.
- playwright.config.ts gains an opt-in webkit project for the player spec.
- AGENTS.md now requires a batch of new tests to be reviewed by somebody who
did not write them.
Only two production files change, both deliberate: lib/auth.ts loses a verbatim
copy of its own permission formulas, and lib/client/r2-video-upload.ts calls the
extracted arithmetic. No behaviour change in either.
