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.
