feat(license): metered licensing — catalogue, entitlements, and enforcement

Implements spec 7 tasks 2-10 on top of the six-plan payload from task 1.

Admin: plans re-keyed on (deployment, tier); new catalogue collection holds
every Paddle price ID (one row per priceable component); new entitlements
collection holds desired beside granted. admin/internal/catalogue owns both
folds — entitlement to licence limits, and entitlement to Paddle line items —
so the base allowance is subtracted in exactly one place. licensing.Issue now
snapshots the instance's granted entitlement, never desired. Free is enforced
per account AND deployment. Staff endpoints for plans, catalogue and
entitlements; Free self-hosted can be claimed and renewed on its annual term;
the reaper stays cloud-only.

Server: enforces the monitor cap, audit-log retention (daily sweep, skips
Unlimited and lapsed instances), and gates the OIDC callback. Unset limits are
filled from the seed plan at the single decode site so old blobs never read as
zero.

Frontends: adminsite gains a catalogue price-ID editor, six-plan allowance
screen, and a catalogue-driven PlanConfigurator mounted on the staff instance
page. web shows monitors, audit retention and support level on the licence page.

Docs: CLAUDE.md, spec index and plan 5 preamble updated.

 `POST /license` is also in `licenceExemptPaths`: pasting a valid licence has to work while the current one is expired, because it is the way out of degraded mode.
 
+Free exists in both deployments, so it is no longer cloud-only by construction. The one-Free-per-account rule is enforced per account **and deployment**, in `licensing.checkFreeLimit` and in `createInstance`'s friendly pre-check — the two must stay scoped identically, because a pre-check stricter than the issuer refuses what would have worked. A self-hosted Free licence is claimed with `POST /api/instances/:id/claim-free` after the install is linked; the metered server count and per-instance feature toggles come from the instance's `entitlement`, which a licence snapshots at issue time (see the `catalogue`/`entitlements` note under MongoDB Collections).

The two Free plans have **no catalogue rows at all**, which is what keeps Free outside Paddle.

-## ⚠ REVISED BY SPEC 7 — DO NOT EXECUTE AS WRITTEN
+## ⚠ REVISED BY SPEC 7 — WHICH HAS SHIPPED
 
-[Spec 7, metered-licensing](../specs/2026-07-26-metered-licensing-design.md), was
-designed on 2026-07-26, after this plan and before any of it was implemented.
-`admin/internal/paddle` and `admin/internal/billing` do not exist, so nothing here
-has shipped and nothing needs unpicking.
+Spec 7 landed on 2026-07-27. The data model this plan assumed no longer exists:
+`plans` is keyed on `(deployment, tier)`, every price ID lives in `catalogue`,
+and `entitlements` holds what a licence is signed from. `admin/internal/catalogue`
+already provides both folds, including `ResolveItems`, which is what replaces this
+plan's price-ID-to-tier lookup.
 
-**Spec 7 must be built first, and this plan is then regenerated against it.** The
-break is structural rather than cosmetic: this plan assumes **one price per
+**Re-derive tasks 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 10 against the shipped code before
+executing them.** Tasks 2, 6 and 9 stand as written.
+
+`admin/internal/paddle` and `admin/internal/billing` still do not exist, so the
+Paddle client, webhooks and checkout remain entirely this plan's work. The break
+with what was written here is structural: this plan assumes **one price per
 subscription**, and a metered plan has three or more — a base fee, a per-server
 unit at quantity N, and an item per paid feature. Every place that maps a price
 ID to a tier changes shape.
