-Phase G ends with every platform pricing from `CRBadgeCatalog`, redeeming codes in the app, and desktop and Android `foss` handing off to the site; no store purchase action remains on any platform.
+**G1–G6 are not this plan's work.** The scope is the badge service process and the website it
+serves: money in, code out. The client apps belong to whoever owns code → badge (§6). **G0 is
+the exception and has already landed** — it removed a store button that charged users for a
+badge they would never receive, so it stays. The step texts below are kept as written for
+whoever picks them up; nothing in D5–D7, E, F or H depends on any of them (dependency check:
+no in-scope row names G1–G6).

+**The script ends at the code.** Redeeming it — `/_badge purchase`, the credential, the badge on a
+profile — is code → badge and belongs to whoever owns that half (§6). The service side of redemption
+is already built and tested (B7, B10) and its behaviour is pinned by the invariants below; what this
+plan no longer verifies end to end is a *client* consuming the code.
+
 Invariants that must hold:
 
-- for the same purchase, the client's and the service's `badge_ledger` rows agree on `entry_uuid`, `change_months`, `balance_months`, `balance_start_ts`, `balance_badge_type` and the entry type — **not** on every column: `entry_id` is a per-database IDENTITY that means nothing across databases, and `payment_id` is a service-minted UUID on the service side and NULL on the client's, which has no `@payments` row for a code redemption (B10, §9). Comparing whole rows will fail; compare those six columns.
+- for the same purchase, the service's `badge_ledger` rows are what a client will replicate; the client-side comparison is code → badge and is verified there (C5), not here
 - re-sending the same `purchaseBadge` writes nothing and returns the same credential — a **service-side** invariant that the shipped client cannot exercise, and so is **not** part of the script above: the replay path keys on the purchase key, and `redeemBadgeCode` mints a fresh one on every call (§9), so a client retry arrives as a different signer and is answered `code_used`. It is verified by driving the service directly: B10's `testBadgeServiceRedeemCodeIdempotent` repeats the identical signed request under one key and pins both halves, and `testBadgeServiceReplayAfterLapseHealsOnce` pins the one row the replay may append
 - the same code from a second purchase key returns `code_used`
 - a replayed webhook creates no second code, and an unprocessed one is reprocessed
