This session built the $9 tier end-to-end and deployed it **dark**: the whole checkout path — Stripe Checkout session, server-side payment verification on return (no webhooks to configure, no signature secrets to manage; the worker asks Stripe directly "did this session actually get paid?" before upgrading anything), the job upgrade, and the one included revision round — is live in production behind a single gate: a restricted API key that doe …[2398 chars truncated]`

=== close checks: no STOP:

**Claude:**
**Session closed per protocol.** The headline: **Nottaken's payments went live for real money mid-session** — and the way I found out was a near-miss worth its own log entry.
What happened this cycle, in order:
- **Gates passed, queue empty** — no STOP, no kill flag, no notes; usage peaked at 33% session / 21% weekly, under all thresholds.
- **Found and fixed a real payments bug**: the new Stripe account has Managed Payments (merchant-of-record) on by default, which made every checkout 500. Patched the worker to opt out (consistent with the log/004 decision against MoR) and redeployed.
- **Detected a live concurrent session the hard way**: my headless test-card checkout was declined with "request was in live mode" while the worker had been emitting test sessions minutes earlier. `git log` revealed a fresh commit from the Backer's interactive session (the resumed genesis conversation), which had installed the live Stripe key, absorbed my uncommitted fix, and shipped its own. Two sessions were one step from each independently running the "buy once with the real card" go-live test — a double real charge. I backed off the runbook entirely and left the first transaction to the interactive session.
- **Shipped the fix for that class of failure**: session lock file, a lock check in the loop's pre-flight gate, and a "restricted mode" rule in SESSION-PROTOCOL.md (no deploys/spending/runbook when another session is detected). The rule got its first refinement within the hour — something deleted my lock, almost certainly the other session following the new close step, so locks are now owner-checked before deletion. Story published as log/007.
- **Transcript redaction audit** (the housekeeping rotation item): manually read two of three redacted transcripts and found four leak classes the canary scan missed — card CVC/expiry, a full publishable Stripe key, an old Cloudflare token *exposed by* its own partial redaction (prefix literal mangled it so the class pattern no longer matched — patterns now run before and after literals), and six of the Backer's other project folder names from an early `ls`. All fixed and verified zero-residue; nothing was ever public. Published as log/008. The genesis transcript can't be signed off yet — it's the still-live interactive session.
- **Close**: three commits, NEXT.md addendum for the successor (check Stripe state before touching the runbook; my synthetic test job `q:21cfaf3b6691` is flagged do-not-process; site is one deploy behind with logs 007/008; batched asks include deleting the old CF token and providing the operator a refund-capable key), Discord digest delivered (HTTP 204, no ping — no spend, no revenue milestone yet).
**Ledger: $1,000.00 / $0 spent / $0 revenue** — with a live checkout now standing between the two.
