The money path โ signup cannot complete, or usage is not metered against what a contract promises.
Complete signup before metering. A user who cannot finish signup never becomes a customer at all โ no tenant, no revenue. Regina's meter, by contrast, carries the owner's own runway (“needed in ~1 month”, 2026-08-01). So the signup issue is picked up first, the metering issue second.
What this criterion deliberately does not use: issue age (the signup issue is the older of the two, filed 2026-07-26 โ age reorders nothing); track provenance (the index names the native metering issue first and marks the signup issue as moved here from the untracked pile โ provenance does not set urgency); the severity label alone (both carry priority:p1, so the label cannot break the tie); estimated effort (neither issue body sizes its fix).
None. The decided list for track:billing in track-order.json is empty, so nothing on this track is pre-settled. A question that needs an owner ruling should be raised on the needs:ruling label rather than assumed answered.
The billing rail has been live on production since 2026-08-05. All 32 pre-cutover tenants are sealed grandfathered โ free indefinitely with every cap NULL, so gates fail open. The two issues above are the track's entire open backlog: one signup blocker, one metering gap.
