Trial lifecycle

Trials in Commet collect a payment method at checkout, so every trial has a clear path to revenue:

Moment	Event	What to do
Checkout completes with trial days	`trial.started`	Grant full access.
3 days before the trial ends	`trial.will_end`	Remind the customer billing starts soon.
Customer upgrades during the trial	`trial.converted`	Trial ends early, paid plan starts now.
Trial runs out	`trial.expired`	Regular billing begins automatically.

Subscriptions with status: "trialing" have full access — treat them like active in your entitlement checks.
