Stagewise paid-launch boundary reconciled
Directed by Nicholas Lee · Produced with ChatGPT + Lovable read-only source inspection
Read-only source verification found a Pro subscription purchase-to-entitlement path, while the project’s own release controls still classify public paid launch as blocked. No live sale or fulfilled customer purchase is claimed.
Stagewise exposes public free/Pro pricing and an authenticated in-app Pro upgrade path whose entitlement is webhook-authoritative. The checkout surface is guarded by a fail-closed server feature flag, and current release documentation still marks public paid launch blocked. Manager remains a coming-later surface rather than a supported checkout target. The useful next acceptance boundary, after existing program reservation and budget holds clear, is an authorized purchase-to-webhook-to-entitlement-to-feature-access verification plus pricing parity—not additional feature expansion. This reconciliation was read-only and did not inspect customer/payment records, invoke Stripe, change code, alter configuration, or deploy.
