Free has no features, so a nil Go slice served "features": null. The
portal's type said string[], called .length on it, and took the page down.
The guarantee lives on a named Features type with its own MarshalJSON
rather than at each of the six places a licence or plan is serialised,
because the seventh is the one that would have been forgotten. Applying it
at marshal time also fixes rows already holding null in Mongo, which a
write-side fix alone would not.
Same class, found while checking the rest: staffListInstances built its
expiring filter from a nil []string, marshalling to $in: null, which Mongo
rejects — so the quiet week when nothing is expiring is precisely when the
staff Operations page's own query would have failed.

Phase 2 created cloud instances without recording who owns them on this
side, because the collection did not exist. The boot backfill reconstructs
one member row per instance from the hq-sourced control-plane owner, and
marks every existing customer_user an owner — they all created their own
account.
Backfill lives in models rather than db: db is the connection layer and
models already imports it for SeedPlans, so db -> models would cycle.

Available from seven days before expiry and, deliberately, at any point
after it up to deletion, so the same button rescues a lapsed instance.
Renewal is manual because it is the entire reclaim signal: an instance
nobody renews is one nobody is using, which is what makes reaping safe.

Provisions the control-plane instance and its owner, records the
admin_instances row, issues and injects a Free licence, and emails the
customer where it is and when it expires.
Licence issuance and email cannot fail the request. The instance exists
and the customer can sign in; rolling back something they can already see
would be worse than shipping it unlicensed for staff to fix.

Adds admin's own documents, its unique indexes and the plan seed from
shared/license.
Licences are append-only -- a renewal writes a new row and supersedes the
old one -- because the history is the support tool. Plans are seeded with
$setOnInsert only, so a redeploy never stamps over staff edits to limits,
features or Paddle IDs.
admin_instances.instance_id unique is a correctness property, not an
optimisation: without it two customers could both claim one self-hosted
UUID and both be issued licences for it.
