Session Configuration Summary (Signup → Activation → Billing)

This doc captures all changes made in this session across backend and frontend to stabilize signup, onboarding, plans, payments, throttling, and admin flows.

Backend Changes

• Registration slug collision handling
  • Now generates unique account slugs by appending numeric suffixes to avoid IntegrityError on duplicate slugs during signup.
  • File: backend/igny8_core/auth/serializers.py
• Plans endpoint throttling removed
  • /api/v1/auth/plans/ no longer uses throttling to prevent 429 responses during onboarding/plan fetch.
  • File: backend/igny8_core/auth/views.py

Frontend Changes

• Plans visibility and throttling behavior
  • Removed plan filtering to only Starter/Growth/Scale; all active plans returned by the API are shown.
  • Added a 429 retry: on throttling while loading billing/plans, shows “throttled, retrying” and auto-retries once after 2 seconds.
  • File: frontend/src/pages/account/PlansAndBillingPage.tsx
• Signup redirect hard fallback
  • After successful signup, still calls router navigate to /account/plans, and also forces a 500ms hard redirect to /account/plans if navigation stalls.
  • File: frontend/src/components/auth/SignUpForm.tsx
• Payment method preference
  • Auto-selects payment method id 14 when available and best-effort sets it as default; prefers enabled methods.
  • File: frontend/src/pages/account/PlansAndBillingPage.tsx
• Admin subscriptions actions and linking
  • Added Activate/Cancel and Refresh actions on /admin/subscriptions.
  • /admin/accounts “Manage” links now deep-link to /admin/subscriptions?account_id=....
  • Files: frontend/src/pages/admin/AdminSubscriptionsPage.tsx, frontend/src/pages/admin/AdminAllAccountsPage.tsx
• Upgrade gating helper
  • Introduced isUpgradeError / showUpgradeToast and applied to Sites list to surface upgrade prompts on 402/403. ModuleGuard imported/prepared.
  • Files: frontend/src/utils/upgrade.ts, frontend/src/pages/Sites/List.tsx, frontend/src/components/common/ModuleGuard.tsx
• Balance error UX
  • Shows “Balance unavailable” with retry; clears stale balance on error instead of silently showing defaults.
  • Files: frontend/src/components/dashboard/CreditBalanceWidget.tsx, frontend/src/store/billingStore.ts

Behavior Notes / Outcomes

• Signup now survives duplicate slug cases (unique slug generation).
• Plans fetch should not be throttled; all active plans returned by the API will render.
• If SPA navigation fails post-signup, the hard redirect ensures landing on /account/plans.
• Payment method id 14 is preferred when present; otherwise any default/available method can be used.
• Admins can activate/cancel subscriptions from the subscriptions page; Manage links carry account_id.
• Upgrade prompts now surface on 402/403 in Sites list; balance widgets show proper error/retry state.

Operational Dependencies / Reminders

• Ensure the backend exposes at least one active plan; otherwise the list will remain empty.
• Ensure at least one payment method exists (id 14 preferred) so plan selection/purchases are not blocked.
