No card-trial offer before approving an AI client - #843

Conversation
Put between sign-up and Approve (#842), the offer halved the share of sign-ups from Claude that approved the connection: about 80% an hour before it, 40-42% in the two hours after. Of eight who opened the checkout from it, one paid and five neither paid nor came back to approve. Sign-ups from Claude go straight back to approve again. The way-back helpers on /start-trial and the licence activation page stay (inert without the offer), as does the plan-limit answer in the MCP setup tools.

Rolls back the pre-Approve step of #842 after measuring it in production (3 Oct 2026, UTC):
Of the 8 sign-ups after the deploy who opened Stripe Checkout, 1 started a paid trial (Team) and 5 neither paid nor returned to approve. The connection is the activation step, so the offer cost more than it earned.
/start-trialand/settings/license/activate(inert without the offer) and the plan-limit answer of the MCP setup tools.Frontend e2e: 100 passed.
Next idea (not in this PR): offer the card trial where it does not compete with the connection, e.g. a secondary link on the "Claude is connected" page (new tab) or in the dashboard after the first successful tool call.
