The iOS app refused any subscription to an Apple ID that ever subscribed, so a lapsed subscriber could never subscribe again in the app. Core now tells the apps each subscription's store reference (BadgeSubscription.transactionRef, optional in JSON), and the iOS gate opens a subscription card only when every earlier subscription of the Apple ID is the active profile's newest purchase, retired, of the card's badge: the one charge core resumes. Kotlin gets the model field only, as Play gives a resubscription a new token and needs no gate.

Review round 1 fixes:
- R1-1: a resumable charge waiting behind another held receipt of the owner is answered held and left unfinished, rather than answered from the record and finished uncredited.
- R1-3: a resume shows the purchase again only with a credential that has not expired.
- R1-2, R1-8: tests of the resumable-charge rule and the hold's edge, of a held charge whose paid period ends before it is sent, and that a resumed profile shows the newest credential. The resume test is split in two, one environment each.
- R2-V1: a test comment that the reordered steps made false.
Run: 011-subscription-resume, review rounds 1 and 2
A same-install resubscription keeps Apple's original transaction id, so its hand-over found the old credited record and was answered from it with the old credential: the subscriber paid and got nothing. A credited record is now held again when a later charge of its subscription is handed over, the charge is not revoked, its paid period runs and it is dated less than a day ahead of this device's clock, and the record's purchase is its owner's newest, a subscription and not shown, with no other receipt held. The receipt worker then sends the purchase's issueBadge, and the service grants the charge as a renewal. A covered answer shows the purchase again with the newest credential and clears an ended state. A charge the service answers without crediting is deferred an hour and refused a day after its purchase date, so it holds the profile for about a day. A refused resume is remembered on the record (every credit, re-hold and resume clears credit_error), so the app's sweep does not hold the same charge again after its day.

StoreKit can report a subscription expired during Apple's billing retry, and Apple may then recover the charge, so retiring at once on that report left a paying user without the badge. The service's answered ended still retires at once, also while the ledger covers. A stored ended, which is how the device's report arrives, retires once paidThrough has passed.
Run: 011-subscription-resume, slice S1c
The receipt worker's attempt already holds the owner's badge lock, which is not reentrant, so it cannot call requestBadgeIssue. The body becomes sendBadgeIssue, and both answer a service error as Left (code, retryAfter) instead of Nothing, so that caller can classify it as it does today. No behaviour change.
Run: 011-subscription-resume, slice S2-0
/_badge request <userId> sends the profile's badge request now, while
its badge is shown, and runs the badge pass on the answer, so a renewal
or an ended subscription can be watched by hand against the dev
service.
It is allowed only when ChatConfig's badgeDevRequests is set, which no
shipped build does and nothing sets at runtime: the dev-service branch
sets it beside its own badge service overrides. A request off the shared
expiry would tell requests apart, so every other build refuses it, and
it is refused from a paired remote controller.
Run: 011-subscription-tools, slice S3b
A subscription badge retired only on an ended answer to a request that was due, and only once the ledger's paidThrough had passed, so an ended answer while the ledger still covered, or the iOS app's report of StoreKit's expired or revoked state, left the badge shown, Support SimpleX unreachable and every purchase refused until a later request. Now an answered ended state is stored even while coverage runs (the service writes it only from a store check, after which it grants nothing), and every pass retires a subscription whose state, from this pass's answer or else as stored, is ended, whatever the ledger covers. The paidThrough guard stays at the prepaid call site, its only remaining user.

M20261016_badge_store_receipts shipped to master in #7587, so it must
stay as released. Restore it in both dialects and move the
subscription_status, unrenewed_since and last_unrenewed_at columns,

master cannot read, into M20261016_badge_subscriptions.

The window was counted from the client's paidThrough, which moves only when the client asks, so after months away the first answer that granted nothing for any reason, a transient error, Play's clipped last days or a billing retry, retired a subscriber whose store may still have been charging. The purchase now stores its unrenewed run: the first answered request after which the ledger covered nothing, and the latest one. The badge retires once the window has passed since the run started, still only after an answer; a renewal ends the run, and an answer that comes a window or more after the latest one starts a new run, since an absence or an outage that long may hide a renewal. The window stays 67 days, written as Apple's 60-day billing retry plus the week contacts give an expired credential.

R4-1: a subscription badge is asked about first and retired only after the service answers, judged on the ledger after that answer. Retiring before asking used the client's paidThrough, which moves only when the client asks, so a subscriber who had not opened the app for longer than the recovery window while the store kept charging lost the badge at the next launch and was never asked again. A request that is not answered retires nothing. Tests: testSubscriptionRetiredAfterRecoveryWindow changed, testIdleSubscriptionKeptPastWindow and testSubscriptionNotRetiredWithoutAnswer added.
R4-2: one snooze comment where two contradicted each other.
R4-3: the recovery window's comment names Play's clipped period start.
R4-4: the retirement tests use subscriptionRecoveryWindow.
A subscription badge retired only on an ended answer, so a service that never sent one (a final error such as unknown_purchase_key, a rollback, a service that never answers) left the badge shown, one request a day forever, and the profile unable to redeem, buy or have a held receipt credited. Now it also retires once paidThrough is older than the longest store recovery window: Apple retries a failed renewal for up to 60 days, the longest with Play's pause off, plus a week. paidThrough counts every month the ledger holds, so banked months are never retired by it.
Run: 005-subscriptions-load-timing, slice 8
The hold on the stored wake let two moments the client does not schedule end it early. A renewal whose store check failed was answered with an hour's retryAfter, so the next activation after each hour sent it again, sampling when the app is opened. A snooze set before a request ended its wait at the snooze's end, timing the next request by the user's tap. Now a request that issued nothing waits the stall or a ledger moment: retryAfter only marks the failure transient, and a snooze is not a wake while a request waits; the request's own wake raises the alert again.
Run: 005-subscriptions-load-timing, slice 5
While a subscription waited for its store charge, or a prepaid renewal
kept failing, every launch, foreground, profile switch and badge-state
read sent the issue request again, so the badge service saw the user's
app-open times for weeks. A due request now waits for the wake the last
pass stored, as long as that wake is no more than a stall interval away,
so it is asked again a day later as the renewal design says.
Run: 005-subscriptions-load-timing, slice 3
ios: stop selling a subscription once this device has seen one, so a
second profile is not charged for a subscription Apple folds into the
first (R1-12). Continue pins the chosen period on both apps (R1-13).
Only a device with a subscription asks its store for products and status
when reporting, and the purchases are marked checked before the report
(R1-14, R1-5: Kotlin now loads the products, so the price shows after a
restart). Restore says "Nothing to restore" after a cancelled purchase
(R1-7). Android keeps sweeping one-time purchases when the subscriptions
query fails (R1-6). The freshness comment in requestBadgeIssue states the
service's one-hour repeat of its last check (R1-1).
Run: 003-badge-subscriptions-ui, review round 1
A subscription's alerts were the prepaid ones: a retired subscription said
"support ended", and nothing told the user a payment failed, an annual
renewal was near, or a cancelled subscription still runs. The derived alert
for a subscription is now, in order: subscription_ended once retired,
payment_issue while the store retries, issue_failed as before,
subscription_cancelled before paidThrough, and renewal_approaching from
three days before an annual plan renews, with a wake at that moment. Monthly
plans get no reminder, as there is no opt-out yet.
The unreleased migration's down step clears an acked subscription_cancelled,
which an older core cannot read.
Run: 003-badge-subscriptions-ui, slice 7
A code redeemed while a store receipt is held put the code's badge on the
profile, and the held receipt then waited behind it; for a subscription the
store kept charging every period meanwhile. Code redemption and invoice
creation now answer "store purchase open" while the profile holds an App
Store subscription receipt, or another receipt whose last failure can clear
on its own. A receipt that failed for good does not block, except an Apple
subscription, which Apple keeps charging; an uncredited Play subscription is
refunded by Play.
Run: 003-badge-subscriptions-ui, slice 6
A held Apple subscription record is keyed by its original transaction id,
so every renewal resolves to it. It kept the payment's back-off when a new
transaction arrived, and adopted any payment handed over, including a
revoked renewal, which the service refuses as receipt_invalid and so would
refuse the whole subscription.
A held Apple record now adopts a JWS only for another transaction with a
later purchaseDate and no revocationDate, read from the unverified payload,
and is then due at once with its retry delay and credit error cleared. A
re-delivered or re-signed copy changes nothing. A failed attempt writes its
back-off only if the record still holds the payment it sent.
Run: 003-badge-subscriptions-ui, slice 5
A store account's purchases are listed on every device signed into it:
Play's purchase query lists active subscriptions for their whole life, and
Apple's Transaction.updates delivers auto-renewables made on other devices.
A hand-over with no record and an unknown echoed invoice made a new record
under the presenting profile, so another device could claim a buyer's
subscription for its own active profile, or repeat a refused request every
30 days after cleanup.
/_badge purchase now takes a `listed` mark, which the apps' sweeps and
purchase listeners send: it joins only a record this core already has for
the transaction or its echoed invoice, and otherwise records and sends
nothing (CRStoreReceiptNotRecorded). The purchase call and Restore hand over
unmarked, as before.
Run: 003-badge-subscriptions-ui, slice 4
The service reads the store only once a subscription's paid coverage has
ended, so it never sees a cancellation while the period runs. The apps read
the device's store (StoreKit's renewal state, Play's isAutoRenewing) and
report it with /_badge subscription <state> <payment>, which records it on
the credited subscription purchase the payment resolves to and announces the
change to its owner.
A renewing report does not replace billingRetry or ended: Play lists a
subscription in its grace period with auto-renew on, and the service's next
answer clears billing retry once the charge lands.
Run: 003-badge-subscriptions-ui, slice 3
The screens and alerts need to know whether a subscription renews, was
cancelled, waits for a charge, or ended, and the client dropped every state
the service sent but ended. It is now stored on the purchase: from the
answer to the first credit, and from a renewal answer only when the
asserted tip's coverage had ended, since while coverage runs the service
repeats what it read at the last renewal (a year old for an annual plan).
BadgeState gains `subscription` (the plan's months, from the latest charge
credit, and the state), and fills renewsAt/willRenew from it. A changed
state is announced with CEvtBadgeChanged. The column goes into the
unreleased M20260925 migration.
Run: 003-badge-subscriptions-ui, slice 2
BadgeState, which lives in Badges.Types, is about to carry a subscription's

getBadgePurchase derives the purchase kind from the ledger replica, and a
subscription test makes a held store receipt due.
Run: 001-badge-subscriptions, final verification
A purchase is a subscription exactly when its ledger replica holds a
charge credit, so the kind is derived with no column or migration. A
subscription is still asked about at zero months, at the shared weekly
moment, and keeps its badge past paidThrough until an answer says the
subscription ended, so a renewed month is presented at the old
credential's expiry with no gap, and a charge the store recovers later
still re-activates it. While it waits, the client records no failure and
raises no support-ended alert; "issued no credential" now fires only while
the ledger still owes a month. Prepaid purchases are unchanged.
Run: 001-badge-subscriptions, slice 5
Add chargeEntries, the one planner for a store charge's ledger rows: a
lapse to the billing period start, the grant dated to that start, and a
lapse to now, so coverage follows the store's periods and every row
verifies by re-running it at its createdAt. A test runs its rows through
the client's own balanceChecked for first charges, monthly and annual
renewals, billing-retry recovery and grace.
An Apple auto-renewable transaction is now claimed by its original
transaction id, which every renewal keeps, so renewals resolve to one
purchase. One function names the ref for both the claim and the real
verifier, so they cannot disagree.
Run: 001-badge-subscriptions, slice 3a
Add the service migration 20261012_badge_subscriptions: the subscription
charges table, the ledger's charge_id, and the payment's subscription state,
check time and Play token, replacing three subscription columns nothing
wrote. The ledger now stores and reads back charge credits, and the badge
credential response gains an optional subscription state that older clients
ignore and that reads an unknown state without failing. Nothing writes a
charge or a state yet, so no behaviour changes.
Run: 001-badge-subscriptions, slice 2
Rename appleTransactionId to appleTransactionRef, matching googlePurchaseRef
and StoreTransactionRef. No behaviour change: the next change makes it
return a subscription's original transaction id, which the old name would
misstate.
