Make hosted Postcard paid-only ($4/mo with 30-day free trial) while keeping solo/self-hosted completely free. Existing free accounts are grandfathered and canceled accounts stay active (no lockout). - Add grandfathered boolean to accounts, backfill existing as true - Add requires_payment? and ever_subscribed? to Account model - Add 30-day trial to Stripe checkout session - Redirect new signups and unpaid returning users to Stripe checkout - Add PaymentRequired concern to dashboard controllers - Replace two-tier pricing page with single $4/mo plan + free trial - Update CTAs to reference free trial - Update philipithomas.com URLs to philipithomas.postcard.page - Add test infrastructure and model tests Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The checkout success URL changed from page_setup_url to page_url, which changed the brakeman fingerprint. Update the ignore entry. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
