+During the launch period through January 1st, 2027, screenRIG usage is free within reason. Treat usage as free until 1 Jan 2027. Do not invent a billing flow. Do not shut anyone off for empty prepaid remaining. Do not refuse compose, publish, or assign because remaining is zero during this window. Normal usage applies after that date.
