Every account gets welcomeCredits (25, rate-card configurable) via an
idempotent lazy grant on dashboard load, so existing members receive theirs
retroactively. earned_credits table with JSON fallback; Overview stat shows
the purchased/welcome split. Chatbot facts and canned answers synced;
homepage free-membership list mentions the welcome batch. Rate card
promoted from placeholder to decided and persisted in the volume.
Spending integration for the earned pool is the next engine build.

Coolify MySQL (instantadpay-db) via DATABASE_URL; db.js bootstraps schema
and one-time imports the volume JSON. accounts/auth/ads are dual-mode: the
MySQL path uses guarded UPDATEs for the concurrent ad-serving hot path;
without DATABASE_URL the JSON stores remain (local dev). All data functions
async; server boots through db.init. Chain index stays a file: it is a
rebuildable cache of the blockchain, which remains the money truth.
