The lab redesign gave only the lab tab the published-history sidebar;
the composer page was expected to have it too. /setup/tariff now lists
every published version (name or effective date, active badge, currency)
on the right; clicking one loads it into the editor as the SEED for the
next publish — which always creates a new immutable version (the sidebar
hint states this), making "roll back to last month's prices" a two-click
republish while the history stays append-only.

Experimenting used to mean publishing — churning the immutable version
history and risking real tickets pricing against a half-baked card while
the admin iterated. The lab is now a true sandbox:
- tariff_drafts table (migration 0021): MUTABLE by design — the one
exception to "editing publishes a version"; a draft prices nothing and
signs nothing. Drafts are validated + tz-stamped on save exactly like a
publish, so a saved draft always simulates and never fails at publish.
- CRUD under /api/tariff/drafts (list tariff:read, mutations
tariff:update); publishing a draft goes through the normal immutable
POST /api/tariff/versions path.
- Lab UI rebuilt: sidebar lists lab drafts AND the full published history
(click any to price against it); main pane cut to pure entry/exit
(ticket loader, payment, category inputs dropped); the composer form is
extracted to TariffEditorForm.tsx and reused in a modal (new drafts
prefill from the active card); per-draft Publish with confirm.
- tariff_versions.name (migration 0022): optional label stamped at
publish — carried from the lab draft, or typed in the composer's new
optional field — so history reads "Winter 2027", not UUID prefixes.
- Includes the composer UI + sq/en labels for the package mode (engine
landed in d9e6c13) and the "Flat price / hour" relabel.
5 new server integration tests (RBAC, roundtrip, validation, tz-stamp +
simulate + publish w/ name); server suite 288 green.

Three subscriber enhancements driven by real scenarios (migration 0011, all
additive columns — backward-compatible).
1. QUANTITY. One subscription covers N cars (a family pays once for two). Sale
amount = span price × quantity; maxConcurrent defaults to the quantity so all
N cars can be inside. Quantity rides in the payment payload.
2. PLAN TIMEFRAMES → TARIFF BRIDGE. A plan may restrict WHEN a subscriber may
park (e.g. weekday 20:00→08:00, weekend all-day). A scan outside the window is
NOT refused — the out-of-window minutes are charged at the normal TRANSIENT
tariff (the subscriber is a transient for that time):
- early entry: arrival → window-open, DEFERRED (signed as windowOwedMinor on
the vehicle_entry payload), collected at exit;
- late exit: window-close → departure, and exit is GATED
(sub.refused.unpaidWindow) until paid at the booth.
Pure, tz-aware outOfWindowGap in @parking/shared (12 unit tests); pricing
reuses computeFee + the active tariff version
(apps/server/src/subscription-window.ts). The exit refusal is a host-ONLINE
business gate — the fail-open rule still governs the offline path.
3. RESERVED SPOTS. Site toggle reserve_subscriber_spots: occupancy holds
max(0, quantity − itsCarsInside) per active subscription, so transients see
"full" sooner; effectiveFree = capacity − count − reserved. Subscribers are
never gated by full.
UI: quantity field + ×N quote (SubscriptionManager); timeframes editor
(SubscriptionPlansManager); reserve checkbox (SiteSettings); booth pay modal
shows an "OUT-OF-WINDOW" charge and takes payment to clear the exit gate.
Verified on a copy of the live DB: qty 2 = 2× price; a night-plan 19:30 entry →
30min/15,000 ALL owed, stamped + paid → gate clears, chain verifies; the reserve
toggle holds a qty-2 sub's 2 spots. Build+lint 12/12; 80 shared tests pass.

Re-model subscription pricing from per-row, operator-typed prices into an
admin-composed, versioned PLAN CATALOG (the tariff pattern). The operator now
SELLS by picking a plan over a date span; the price is LOOKED UP, never typed —
removing the fat-finger risk on a money field — and day/week/month periods make
the hotel "guest stays 1–N days" case a daily plan over a check-in→check-out span.
- Schema/migration 0010: new `subscription_plans` (immutable, effective-dated,
keyed by a stable planId; period day/week/month + per-period price + active
flag). `subscriptions` gains planId/planVersionId; period enum widened. Seeds a
"Monthly" plan from the existing site default price (no data loss).
- Pricing (pure, unit-tested in @parking/shared): periods = ceil(span / period),
amount = periods × per-period price. Ceil = any started period is full (hotel
practice). `resolvePlanVersion` picks the latest active version ≤ sale instant.
- Backend: new admin-only plan CRUD (`subscription:plan` permission); reworked
sell path derives the amount from the plan; `POST /api/subscriptions/quote`
returns a server-computed quote so the operator can't override it. The
signed-payment sale fix is unchanged — only the amount SOURCE moved; payload
now carries planId/planVersionId/periods. Updates never re-sell (price frozen).
- Frontend: SubscriptionManager sell form swaps the price field for a plan
picker + start/end dates + a live quote line. New SubscriptionPlansManager
(Setup tab) for the admin catalog. i18n (sq+en) for both.
Verified on a copy of the live DB: 0010 applies (existing subs intact), a
3-night hotel sale prices to 2,400 ALL, appends one signed payment with
planVersionId, chain verifies. Build+lint 12/12; 68 shared tests pass.

priceMinorPerIncrement is per BILLING INCREMENT, not per hour. Documented
the effective-hourly formula (price x 60/incrementMin) as a callout after
recurring "Lab is wrong" confusion (weekend 3h=600 not 300 was correct),
and filed a per-hour-preview composer UX candidate under Open.

A stepped ("up-to") default card prices the whole stay as one total, so the V2
engine short-circuits to steppedFee and NEVER consults windowed cards — any
time/seasonal tiers would silently never fire. Found live: an active tariff had a
stepped base plus weekday-night + weekend tiers, and every 3h stay priced 600 ALL
regardless of hour/day because the tiers were dead.
- validateTariffV2 now rejects a stepped defaultCard combined with windowedCards,
with an actionable message (switch the base to ladder/flat, or remove the tiers).
- Composer shows an inline red warning the moment base mode is stepped and tiers
exist; publishing is blocked server-side regardless.
- ApiError now carries the server's problems[], so the publish error surfaces the
SPECIFIC reason instead of a generic "invalid tariff structure".
- 2 new validation tests (55 pass).

Owners often state rates as a total-by-duration matrix (0-1h=200, 0-3h=500,
0-6h=800, 0-9h=900, 0-12h=1000) that the marginal hourly ladder can't express
(the ladder sums per-increment rates; this is cumulative totals at thresholds).
Add STEPPED as a third pricing mode alongside the ladder and flat.
- @parking/shared: TariffStep {uptoMin, totalMinor} + a `steps[]` field on V1
structures and V2 cards (mutually exclusive with blocks/flatMinor). steppedFee():
smallest tier with uptoMin >= duration wins (INCLUSIVE boundary), the top tier
repeats as a per-day cap; wired into computeFeeV1 + computeFeeV2 (V2 default card
only — a whole-stay total can't be sliced per-increment by a windowed card).
Validation: ascending uptoMin, non-negative totals, no daily-cap-with-steps,
steps-only-on-default. priceSession/quote/booth/Lab price it via the shared core.
- Composer UI: a "By duration (up-to)" mode with an up-to/total table (base card
only). i18n modeStepped/steppedHint/stepUpTo/stepTotal/addStep (sq+en).
- 8 new unit tests incl. the exact owner matrix, multi-day repeat, overstay, and
validation (53 pass). Verified end-to-end via the UI: authored + published the
matrix, Tariff Lab prices it exactly (3h->500, 6h->800, 12h->1000, 2d->2000).

Test rates "in time" (overnight windows, daily caps, overstay) in seconds against
any tariff version, instead of waiting hours/days. No real ledger writes.
- Extract priceSession() into @parking/shared: the grace/overstay wrapper over
computeFee (unpaid -> entry..now; within-grace -> settled 0; grace-expired ->
overstay, a fresh period from grace-expiry). PayStation.quote() now calls it so
the booth and the lab can never diverge.
- API (tariffs.ts, tariff:read, read-only): POST /api/tariff/simulate prices a
hypothetical session (active/any version/inline structure) and returns the
priceSession outcome + a 30m..3d duration curve (see where the daily cap flattens);
GET /api/tariff/simulate/session/:identity prefills from a real ledger session.
- UI TariffLab.tsx at Setup -> "Tariff Lab": version picker, entry/asOf times,
optional payment+grace, category, and load-a-real-ticket. Admin-gated, available
on-site (useful to quote a dispute).
- 4 new priceSession unit tests incl. the ticket-1245791632490 overstay-not-zero
regression (40 pass). i18n lab.* + nav.tariffLab (sq+en). Verified live via the UI.

Bring the legacy ParkSQL2017 pricing BREADTH onto our engine while keeping
integer-minor-unit money + immutable signed versions (rejecting legacy's
float money / mutable rows). TariffStructure becomes a discriminated union:
V1 = the original bare ladder (UNCHANGED, verbatim algorithm, golden-
regression-tested against the live version); V2 = {version:2, tz, shared
knobs, defaultCard, windowedCards[]} where each card is flat OR a block
ladder and may be scoped by wall-clock hour window / day-of-week / date
range / vehicle category.
computeFeeV2 prices by stepping one increment at a time, advancing the
ladder by ELAPSED minutes (continuous) while selecting the active card by
WALL-CLOCK time in the version's FROZEN tz. Decisions: tz is a per-site
setting (site_config.timezone, default Europe/Tirane) stamped server-side
into each version on publish — never the host clock (reproducibility);
default-card cap governs a mixed day; precedence = specificity
(date>dow>hour) -> priority -> name (total, order-independent), validation
rejects ambiguous ties; category = a card FIELD, frozen in the signed
vehicle_entry payload (site_config.default_vehicle_category default), read
at both pricing call-sites.
Composer: default card front-and-centre (flat/ladder toggle), tiers under
an "Advanced" disclosure; emits BARE V1 when no tiers (back-compat). DB:
migrations 0005 (timezone) + 0006 (default_vehicle_category). Stood up
vitest in @parking/shared (was zero tests on the ledger-feeding fee fn);
36 tests incl. golden V1 regression, happy-hour/overnight/dow/flat/category/
cap edges, precedence shuffle-invariance, Europe/Tirane DST determinism,
validation matrix — all green. No event-chain change.

The stepped-block engine already does "first N hrs x X, next N hrs x Y, ...,
24h cap" (ordered blocks, per-block rate, rolling-24h cap). No new axis; this
completes the model and removes its footgun.
- validateTariffStructure (shared) now REQUIRES the last block to be open-ended
(uptoMin: null). A bounded final block silently inherited its own rate past
its bound (a hidden, never-stated price — e.g. the live ALL tariff billed
hour 4+ at the 3rd-hour rate). rateAt() still prices legacy bounded-tail
versions; validation is publish-only, so published immutable versions are
unaffected (no migration).
- TariffComposer edits bands as a DURATION in hours ("first 2 hours, then next
3 hours"), accumulated into the engine's cumulative uptoMin (minutes) on
submit. The last row is a pinned, non-removable "thereafter (open-ended)"
band, so a published card always satisfies the open-ended-last rule.
blocksToForm round-trips stored minutes back to band hours (legacy loads).
- i18n: replaced upToMin/egExample with bandDuration/hoursUnit/egHours (sq+en,
catalog parity green).
Verified: validator rejects bounded-last / accepts open-ended; computeFee
correct at 1/2/3/5/6/24h for a 0-2h@200,2-5h@100,5h+@50 + 1000 cap card. Full
build green. Wiki (tariff.md, log.md) updated.

The "permit/lejet" feature is really a subscription. Full rename of the
mutable master data, plus a recurring monthly price.
- DB (migration 0004, data-preserving ALTER RENAME): permits→subscriptions,
permit_credentials/_plates→subscription_*, sessions.permit_id→subscription_id.
- Pricing: per-subscription priceMinor + period(monthly) + currency, with a
site default (site_config.subscription_monthly_price_minor) pre-filling the form.
- Server: subscription-flow.ts (SubscriptionFlow), routes/subscriptions.ts
(/api/subscriptions). Web: SubscriptionManager, route, i18n (sq Abonimet/en).
- The signed ledger `permitId` payload is intentionally kept — immutable
hash-chained history; renaming it would break verification of past events.
Deferred (wiki notes): fee collection into the ledger/shift (a shift-attributed
payment), LPR/ANPR plate source, time-of-day access windows (overnight subscriber).
Also carries the device-footer UI surface (api DeviceStatus, router mount,
i18n devices) due to shared-file overlap with the preceding footer commit.
Verified end-to-end on a fresh DB and migration on a live-DB copy (sessions
preserved). Live DB migrated. Full monorepo builds clean.

Ingest the predecessor SQL Server schema (raw + source summary) and file design
pages for time-of-day/seasonal tariff tiers and merchant validation/postpaid
sponsorship. Cross-link tariff.md and validation-discounts.md. No code.
validateTariffStructure (shared): non-negative ints, ascending block bounds,
only the last block open-ended — a malformed card can't be published.
Routes: GET /api/tariff (active + history, any signed-in role), POST
/api/tariff/versions (publish an immutable, effective-dated version; admin
only). The single site tariff row is created lazily. Editing = publish a new
version; past sessions keep their pricing.
Web: TariffComposer in the admin shell — edit currency, grace windows,
increment, daily cap, lost-ticket fee, and add/remove rate blocks (major-unit
input -> minor on submit); shows active version + history.
Verified via inject: empty -> active null; invalid blocks -> 400 with problem;
valid -> 201; readonly publish -> 403; after publishing, the pay station quote
returns 404 (no session) instead of 409 (no tariff) -- it now prices against the
active card.
computeFee() in @parking/shared: pure integer fee over a TariffStructure
(stepped blocks, rolling-24h cap). Two edges fixed under test: grace uses RAW
duration (not rounded-up minutes), and the block ladder resets each 24h day.
PayStation + routes (GET /api/pay/quote, POST /api/pay): look up the open
session, resolve the active tariff version (latest effectiveFrom <= entry),
computeFee, append a signed payment event (amount/currency/tender/
tariffVersionId/graceExitMin). overrideMinor handles lost-ticket/dispute. PCI
stays out of the app: tender only records cash/card.
Verified end to end: entry -> quote (300 for 90min) -> pay -> exit opens and
closes the session, verifyChain ok.
