v0.2.0:27 — Single tier-features ul; popular pill spacing fix

Two remaining buy-page issues from :26:

- Tier-card feature list. Stop fighting the two-<ul> boundary with
  margin tweaks. Build ONE <ul class="tier-features"> server-side
  containing marketing bullets and entitlements in the operator-
  controlled order. Both groups render with identical ✓ + li styling,
  visually indistinguishable to the buyer. No list boundary = no gap.
- "MOST POPULAR" + "Limited: ..." collision. The :26 fix moved the
  popular pill to top:8px (inside the card) for has-launch tiers,
  but that landed it on top of the launch-meta line. Push the card
  content down via padding-top:36px on .tier.has-launch.highlighted
  (35px when also .selected to compensate for the thicker border).

CSS + HTML composition only; no schema, API, or SDK change.
