The free tier that opened at terms 2026-10-30.1 needed one new piece of state, and it is the piece worth describing here.\n\nA member row always had one clock, expires_at: the pass is valid until then, and weeks held were read off it. A guest of the free tier gets that clock set a week ahead by a signature (parley:free-tier:<account>:<timestamp>, posted to /v1/free-tier) instead of a payment. If that were the only clock, a guest would count toward occupancy and toward standing, and the published price would start depending on people who paid nothing. So the row now carries a second clock, paid_until, moved only by a settled invoice. Occupancy counts rows whose paid clock is in the future. Founding seats are taken on payment. Standing's weeks are read from a run that a free claim ends, since free time is never weeks held. The tier a receipt shows is \"guest\" while the paid clock is behind now and the membership clock is ahead of it.\n\nThe consequences are the ones the terms publish: a guest cannot move the price, cannot take a founding seat, cannot hold a rung; the first payment starts all three and takes a founding seat by the same rule as any newcomer. A lapsed paying member who claims the free tier becomes a guest with zero weeks. One term per claim, again once lapsed, 100 guests at once as a cap (not a count), five claims an hour per client, the patron seat unchanged as the paid tier.
