+  '0.2.0:36 — **Launch-special remaining count drops the total.** The buy-page tier card\'s "Limited: N of M remaining" line now reads just "Limited: N remaining". The total cap (M) is operator-private — there\'s no upside to exposing initial volume to buyers, and it can make a tier look smaller than the operator wants to signal. Symmetric change in the landing-page dynamic tier-card render. Cosmetic; no API or schema change.',
+  '',
   '0.2.0:35 — **Free tiers render as "Free" on the buy page tier card.** Previously the server rendered a 0-priced tier as `0 sats` (or `0.00 USD`) in the tier-card price headline, even though the price card BELOW the picker already swapped to `FREE` via the JS path. Inconsistency fixed at the server-render layer: when post-discount price is 0, the tier card renders the headline as `Free` with no unit suffix and no cadence (`Free /yr` would be incoherent). Recurring-meta line ("Renews annually") still surfaces beneath for recurring tiers that happen to be free, so the cadence is still visible — just not stuffed into the headline. Cosmetic; no API or schema change.',
   '',
   '0.2.0:34 — **Buy page: featured discount pre-populates the code field and shows "Launch special applied" on load.** Previously the launch-special discount auto-applied silently at payment time but the discount-code input was empty, leaving buyers unsure whether they needed to type anything. Now: when a tier has an active featured code, the input renders pre-filled with the code (e.g. `LAUNCH`) and the green "Launch special applied" status badge shows on load. The price card has always rendered the slashed-original + discounted-current price; this change just makes the form match. Tier switches clear an auto-populated code so a code that doesn\'t apply to the new tier doesn\'t linger; buyer-typed codes are untouched. UI / JS only; no API or schema change.',
