fix(warmup): warm paid-to-free transitions

[HulianBuligon]

Summary

When an account changes from a paid plan such as Plus or Pro to Free, the upstream usage payload replaces the paid long-window quota with a fresh monthly quota window. The usage updater already protects this transition by requiring two consecutive workspace-less Free observations before persisting the new plan.

The warm-up scheduler, however, only received the post-refresh account and required the before/after usage samples to use the same canonical window. That correctly rejects arbitrary cross-window comparisons, but it also meant that a confirmed paid-to-Free transition never warmed the newly opened monthly window. The account could remain at 100% available quota without the expected warm-up request.

This PR adds the missing transition-specific candidate while preserving the strict ordinary reset guard.

Change directory: openspec/changes/warm-free-plan-transition/

Changes

• Snapshot the selected account's normalized plan before the background usage refresh and pass that evidence into warm-up evaluation.
• Add a long-window fallback candidate only when the refresh changes a recognized paid plan to free.
• Require the confirming refresh to write a fresh monthly usage row with a reset_at value and enough available quota for the configured availability gate.
• Keep the existing account-active, per-account opt-in, global opt-in, model eligibility, and sender preflight checks.
• Persist the candidate as account / monthly / reset_at, reusing the existing atomic claim to prevent duplicate requests.
• Keep usage_reset_confirmed() unchanged, so ordinary reset detection still requires matching canonical windows and the existing timestamp evidence.
• Reject a single unconfirmed Free observation, an account that was already Free, stale monthly history, and monthly quota below the configured gate.

Safety and scope

• The previous usage percentage does not gate a confirmed plan-transition warm-up; a transition is eligible even when the paid quota was not exhausted.
• The new path never sends warm-up traffic directly to a rate-limited, paused, or otherwise inactive account.
• No setting, environment variable, schema, migration, API, dashboard, or dependency was added.
• No retroactive backfill is performed. A transition that was already persisted before this code is deployed is not replayed from stale history.

Additional coverage includes:

• confirmed paid-to-Free scheduler refresh with a non-exhausted prior quota;
• unchanged Free and unconfirmed paid-plan observations;
• stale monthly samples and the configured availability threshold;
• durable monthly reset deduplication;
• independent code review with no findings.

Downstream patch compatibility validation

The HomeServer consumer patch was updated with the same guard and validated separately:

• local Docker Compose configuration and immutable-pin test passed;
• the updated patch applies cleanly with git apply --check to upstream f839952e;
• HomeServer commit 8048a18 records the downstream patch update;
• the existing production container remains healthy with zero restarts.

The new upstream fix has not been deployed to production yet. The account used to report this bug was already persisted as free before the previous patched image was deployed, so no retroactive warm-up was expected or forced.

Screenshots / output

No dashboard-visible change.

Checklist

• Title is in Conventional Commits format.
• Added OpenSpec proposal, design, spec delta, and task checklist.
• Added unit and integration regression coverage.
• Preserved same-window reset detection and durable deduplication.
• Ran the relevant local test, lint, type, and OpenSpec gates.
• Independent review completed with no findings.
• No new configuration or setup step is required.
• CHANGELOG was not edited.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added automatic monthly quota warm-up when a confirmed paid plan transitions to Free during a usage refresh.
  • Warm-up runs only when current usage and available quota meet eligibility requirements.
  • Duplicate, stale, unconfirmed, already-Free, and exhausted-quota scenarios are safely excluded.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for successful transitions, eligibility safeguards, and duplicate prevention.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The refresh scheduler captures each selected account’s normalized pre-refresh plan. The warm-up service uses that snapshot to detect confirmed paid-to-Free transitions, validate fresh monthly usage, enforce availability, and deduplicate monthly warm-up attempts.

Changes

Paid-to-Free warm-up

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Refresh-scoped plan evidence app/core/usage/refresh_scheduler.py, app/modules/limit_warmup/service.py, openspec/changes/warm-free-plan-transition/*	The scheduler passes normalized prior plan types to run_after_usage_refresh. The policy documents same-refresh monthly evidence and existing safeguards.
Monthly transition candidate app/modules/limit_warmup/service.py	The service creates a monthly candidate only for a confirmed non-free-to-free transition with a fresh eligible usage record and sufficient availability.
Regression and integration coverage tests/unit/test_limit_warmup.py, tests/integration/test_usage_refresh_scheduler_scope.py	Tests cover successful warming, rejected conditions, prior-plan propagation, persisted attempts, sender calls, and duplicate prevention.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b14dd

Confirmed paid-to-Free transitions may fail to warm the new monthly quota window under some supported settings or if the monthly entry loses its required label, leaving the intended behavior incomplete. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness concerns to be resolved or explicitly accepted.
