HivePlane v0.2.0 cost controls untestable with zero-cost models

A field test of HivePlane's v0.2.0 revealed critical flaws in its cost enforcement system, primarily stemming from the use of a zero-cost default model during testing. This setup rendered budget gates, spend-velocity guards, and ROI flags untestable, as they could never trigger a refusal. The solution involved implementing an opt-in "priced profile" that assigns a cost to the local model, allowing for realistic testing of these financial controls. Additionally, the test uncovered bugs related to event completion status, spend rollovers, and tenant cap enforcement, highlighting the importance of pricing models in test environments and enforcing controls at the point of admission rather than after expenditure.
