Payment is deferred until after you've read the offer.
Picking CMEM Pro in the installer opened a browser on a bare Stripe card form. /api/pro/trial/claim redirected a non-entitled user straight into Checkout, so /pro — the page that actually explains the plan — was only ever reached on an error or a cancellation.
The claim route now sends those users to /pro?from=installer&pairing=…&trial=30 and starts Checkout only when the offer page's CTA asks for it. Nothing about the Checkout session changed — same trial length, same pairing metadata, same success and cancel URLs. It just happens after the offer instead of before.
That half is server-side and already live for 13.21.0 and 13.21.1 too — it changes where the route sends people, not the URL the installer opens.
In this release:
- CMEM Pro is pre-selected on the provider prompt. It is the recommended path, and selecting it no longer means "pay now".
- Claude Code is pre-selected on the IDE prompt, along with anything else detected.
Both prompts opened with nothing checked, which made the recommended path a required chore before the install could continue. They are still multiselects — uncheck and pick something else if you want.
