fix: hide recipe variations button when locked instead of disabled+lock-badge (v0.78.1)

Was the one gated feature still shown as a clickable disabled button with a small lock icon overlay, opening an upgrade dialog on click. Every other gated feature (pairings, nutrition estimate, markdown export) hides entirely instead — brought this one in line and removed the now-dead locked/UpgradeDialog code from VariationsButton.

+- Recipe variations button was the one leftover spot still shown disabled with a small lock badge for tiers without the feature, instead of hidden entirely like every other gated feature. Now hidden, matching meal/drink pairings, nutrition estimation, and Markdown export.

Webhook route rewritten with the real `stripe` SDK (`stripe.webhooks.constructEvent`, replacing the hand-rolled HMAC verifier) and now handles the full event set: `checkout.session.completed`, `customer.subscription.{updated,deleted}`, `invoice.{payment_failed,paid}` — `past_due` deliberately doesn't downgrade tier (Stripe retries the card first). `/settings/billing` shows plan cards, usage, and a "Manage billing" button; `/admin/billing` shows connection status, subscriber counts, past-due list, recent billing audit events. Cancel/downgrade is at period end (Stripe Portal default); no trial period. **Not yet built:** family-group multi-user sharing (Family tier is purchasable solo, but the plan's per-account member invite/join/tier-resolution piece is deliberately deferred — see `plans/STRIPE_PLAN.md` §1a, flagged there as the most novel/error-prone piece, intentionally shipped after solo billing is proven). | `apps/web/lib/stripe.ts`, `apps/web/app/api/webhooks/stripe/route.ts`, `apps/web/app/api/v1/billing/**`, `apps/web/app/(app)/settings/billing/page.tsx`, `apps/web/app/admin/billing/page.tsx` |

Each key's own `defaultEnabled` governs the fallback when no admin override row exists, not a blanket true. Prefs let users hide 7 nav sections, no billing implication, unrelated system. | `apps/web/lib/{feature-flags,feature-prefs}.ts` |
 | **Developer permission** (2026-07-22, split 2026-07-23) | Exists | Two separate, orthogonal permissions — not one. `users.isDeveloper` gates webhooks + self-serve API keys: admin-toggled always, *and* self-serve toggleable by the user themselves once on a paid tier (no added fee) via `PATCH /api/v1/users/me/developer-access`; free-tier users still need an admin grant. `users.isByokEnabled` gates BYOK separately, admin-only, no self-serve — routing real AI spend through Epicure on the user's own key warrants a manual check-in. Previously all three (webhooks/API keys/BYOK) shared one flag with zero self-serve path. Existing users with a webhook/API key were already grandfathered for `isDeveloper`; a second migration grandfathered existing BYOK users into `isByokEnabled` specifically. | `apps/web/lib/permissions.ts` (`hasDeveloperAccess`, `hasByokAccess`, `canSelfServeDeveloperAccess`), `apps/web/lib/api-auth.ts` (`requireDeveloper`, `requireByok`) |
