Two web-source cleanups for the new 18+-only, 14-day-trial → paid model. Source only — do not merge or deploy (website hold stands).

1. Retire the orphaned family/child Stripe plan

The family/child tier is dead under the new model. Removed its wiring:

  • src/main.el — deleted the three /api/family/{invite,members,remove} routes (~157 lines) and the STRIPE_PRICE_FAMILY_CHILD env load + __stripe_price_family_child__ state registration.
  • src/account.el — removed the account_family_section() function (Family members UI: add-child form, attestation, $10/month per child), its call site in the dashboard, and the "Family accounts" roadmap bullet.
  • src/js/account-dashboard.el — removed loadFamilyMembers / addFamilyMember / removeFamilyMember and the founding-plan family-section display block.

Free / Professional / Founding Member paths are untouched.

2. Pricing copy: permanent free tier → 14-day free trial

Reframed free-forever language (prices and checkout mechanics unchanged — copy only):

  • src/pricing.el — cadence forever → for 14 days; tagline → "Try everything free for 14 days. No card required."; CTA Preorder free tier → Start free trial.
  • src/comparison.el — row Free tier → Free trial; Full app, forever → Full app, 14 days.
  • src/styles.el — hero/SEO meta: Start free — no credit card required → 14-day trial framing; Free tier available. → 14-day free trial.
  • src/main.el — checkout page title/desc for the free plan → 14-day trial framing.
  • src/local_first.el — no-ads promise: "Not on the free tier" → "Not during your trial".

Verification

Every edited .el compiles clean (elc exit 0); the dashboard JS output passes node --check. No services touched, nothing deployed.

Notes / open decisions (not invented here)

  • Backend plumbing left intact by design: data-checkout="free", the /api/waitlist "free tier preorder" path, and the free-plan SetupIntent flow. Whether the trial requires a card, what happens at day 14, and any post-trial price are business decisions — not changed here.
  • src/terms.el also contains free-tier language ("The free tier doesn't expire") but was intentionally NOT touched to avoid conflicting with the terms/privacy work on legal/18plus-terms-privacy-reconcile (PR #161). Flag for that PR to reconcile.

Branched off main; no file overlap with the legal branch.

Retire family/child Stripe tier; reframe free tier as 14-day trial 20198bf345 
The 18+-only model drops the family/child plan entirely, so its
Stripe wiring is dead code. Remove the /api/family/{invite,members,remove}
routes, the STRIPE_PRICE_FAMILY_CHILD env/state config, the account-page
Family members UI and its dashboard JS, and the "Family accounts" roadmap
bullet. Free/Pro/Founding paths are untouched.

Marketing/pricing copy still promised a permanent free tier, which no
longer matches the product. Reframe the free-forever language as a
14-day free trial across the pricing card, comparison table, hero/SEO
meta, checkout page copy, and the no-ads promise. Prices and checkout
mechanics are unchanged — copy only.

GROOMING — 2026-08-03
Status: HELD pending attorney/counsel sign-off — retires the family/child Stripe tier and reframes the free tier as a 14-day trial under the new 18+-only model; PR is explicitly source-only ("do not merge or deploy, website hold stands").
Next action: Counsel confirms the 18+/no-family posture and trial framing; Will lands after sign-off. Do not merge or deploy.
Owner: Daniel/counsel (Will to land after sign-off)
Priority: HELD
