 ## Question promotion behavior
 
-The manual workflow runs the deployed PRD API image as a short-lived pod. It copies only questions that are published and not flagged for review, plus their referenced media. Any promoted question containing media is flagged again in PRD and remains hidden from students until a SUPER user explicitly approves it in production. UAT media approval is not treated as production approval. It never copies CCS content, users, attempts, ratings, statistics, simulations, reports, feedback, notes, or donations.
+The manual workflow runs the deployed PRD API image as a short-lived pod. It copies only questions that are published and not flagged for review, plus their referenced media. It never copies CCS content, users, attempts, ratings, statistics, simulations, reports, feedback, notes, or donations.
 
 Promotion is idempotent and does not delete or implicitly unpublish PRD content. Its dry run reports inserts, updates, unchanged questions, and production extras. Apply mode verifies the promoted target records and writes a scoped `ContentPromotions` audit document. Corrective unpublishing remains an explicit SUPER/API or database operation.
 
 ## Verification and rollback
 
-## Rz Coin Store attempt-cycle migration
-
-The QBank reset preserves every attempt and increments a user's eligibility cycle. After deploying
-the store-capable API to an environment, inspect and then apply the one-time index migration before
-using QBank reset tokens:
-
-```bash
-kubectl exec deployment/step3-api -n step3-uat -- \
-  dotnet QuestionsApi.dll migrate-question-attempt-cycles
-kubectl exec deployment/step3-api -n step3-uat -- \
-  dotnet QuestionsApi.dll migrate-question-attempt-cycles --apply --confirm MIGRATE_ATTEMPT_CYCLES
-```
-
-Repeat with namespace `step3-prd` after the tested revision is promoted to `production`. The dry run
-reports missing cycle fields and both index states. Apply backfills existing attempts to cycle zero,
-creates the three-field unique index, and only then removes the legacy two-field unique index.
-
 Check both internal and public readiness after every rollout:
 
 ```bash

+# Access economy
+
+RanaZe is free to install and use on the public web client and on Steam. An
+account is required. The server is authoritative for quotas, credits, token
+inventory, prices, and grants.
+
+## QBank limits and credits
+
+- Standard QBank use includes 20 completed questions in a rolling 24-hour
+  window. An answer or skip consumes one slot.
+- An eligible first answer in the current QBank cycle earns one credit,
+  regardless of correctness. Skips and repeat answers earn no credit.
+- A user can earn at most 20 credits in a rolling 24-hour window, including
+  while an unlimited pass is active.
+- 100 earned credits can be redeemed for 24 hours of unlimited standard QBank
+  use. Credits cannot be purchased.
+- Paid access tokens stay in inventory until manually activated. Activation
+  extends from the later of the current time or the current pass expiration.
+
+Other study tools remain free. An unlimited QBank pass changes only the standard
+QBank completion limit.
+
+## Product catalog
+
+| SKU | Grant | Price |
+| --- | --- | ---: |
+| `access_day_1` | one manually activated 24-hour QBank token | $1.00 |
+| `access_week_1` | one manually activated 168-hour QBank token | $5.00 |
+| `access_month_1` | one manually activated 720-hour QBank token | $20.00 |
+| `exam_token_1` | one exam simulation | $1.99 |
+| `qbank_reset_1` | one QBank reset | $4.99 |
+
+A reset requires explicit confirmation and is blocked while an exam simulation
+is active. It starts a new personal QBank cycle, resets personal QBank rating
+and current-cycle performance, and makes questions eligible as new samples.
+Existing global aggregate samples are not removed. Bookmarks, notes, and review
+content remain.
+
+Existing accounts begin with zero credits and no tokens. Historical attempts
+are not backfilled into credits.
+
+## Web checkout
+
+Web purchases use Stripe-hosted Checkout. Configure:
+
+```text
+Stripe__SecretKey
+Stripe__AccessWebhookSecret
+Stripe__AccessSuccessUrl
+Stripe__AccessCancelUrl
+```
+
+Create separate access webhook endpoints:
+
+- UAT test mode: `https://us3q.ranaze.com/api/access/stripe-webhook`
+- production live mode: `https://s3q.ranaze.com/api/access/stripe-webhook`
+
+Each endpoint has a distinct signing secret. Store them as
+`UAT_STRIPE_ACCESS_WEBHOOK_SECRET` and
+`PRD_STRIPE_ACCESS_WEBHOOK_SECRET` in Gitea. Subscribe both endpoints to
+`checkout.session.completed`, `checkout.session.async_payment_succeeded`,
+`checkout.session.async_payment_failed`, and `checkout.session.expired`.
+
+Prices and grants are selected from the API catalog; the client never supplies
+an amount. Webhook signatures, expected amount, currency, session, and purchase
+ownership are verified before an idempotent grant is applied.
+
+## Steam checkout
+
+The Windows Steam export has the `steam` feature flag and routes purchase
+requests to the disabled Steam checkout endpoint. It does not expose Stripe
+checkout. The endpoint intentionally returns 503 until the Steamworks AppID,
+Microtransactions product catalog, server credentials, callbacks,
+reconciliation, refund handling, and sandbox tests are implemented.
+
+## Operational checks
+
+Before release, verify all products in Stripe test mode and then live mode.
+Exercise duplicate webhook delivery and concurrent quota submissions. Confirm
+that data export/deletion includes `UserAccessAccounts` and `AccessPurchases`.
+Monitor rejected checkouts, webhook verification failures, unmatched payments,
+grant failures, and quota conflicts.

-# Question-completion credits
-
-This branch introduces credit earning only. It does not impose a question
-limit, redeem credits, sell products, activate passes, consume exam tokens, or
-reset QBank progress.
-
-- A successfully stored first answer earns one credit regardless of whether it
-  is correct.
-- A repeated answer does not earn another credit.
-- A skipped question does not earn credit.
-- At most 20 credits can be earned in a rolling 24-hour window.
-- Historical attempts are not backfilled.
-- `GET /api/credits` returns the authenticated user's balance and current
-  rolling-window capacity.
-- The first-attempt response also includes the updated credit status.
-
-The API is authoritative. Credit grants use the immutable attempt ID as their
-idempotency key, so retrying the same completed question cannot grant another
-credit. Credit accounts are included in account export and deletion.

+# Steam alpha release checklist
+
+Use this as the go/no-go record for the first external Windows alpha of
+**RanaZe: Step 3 Trainer**. Put the owner, completion date, and a link to the
+evidence beside each checked item. An unchecked **BLOCKER** means do not admit
+testers.
+
+## Release decision
+
+- [x] **BLOCKER — Choose the release vehicle.** **Decision: release the app
+  free on Steam and keep the existing public web client available. Both clients
+  use the same account access model. QBank passes and study tokens are optional
+  in-app purchases; Steam purchases remain disabled until Steamworks
+  Microtransactions are configured.**
+- [ ] Record the decision, target date, tester count, supported countries,
+  tester-selection method, feedback channel, and person with final go/no-go
+  authority.
+- [ ] Define alpha success and stop conditions: minimum completed sessions,
+  acceptable crash/error rate, critical defect threshold, support response
+  time, server-capacity ceiling, and the date results will be reviewed.
+- [ ] Define the advertised alpha scope. List working features, known
+  limitations, expected resets or breaking changes, and features explicitly
+  excluded from this test.
+
+Decision: Free Steam alpha plus the existing public web client; shared freemium access model
+Target date/time and time zone: ____________________
+Release owner: ____________________
+Build commit SHA: ____________________
+Steam base AppID: ____________________
+Steam Playtest AppID (if used): ____________________
+
+## Steamworks account and application
+
+- [ ] **BLOCKER — Complete Steamworks onboarding.** Verify the legal business
+  name, bank and tax details, identity verification, Steam Distribution
+  Agreement, and team permissions.
+- [ ] Pay and activate the Steam Direct app credit for the base application
+  (currently USD 100 per product, subject to tax).
+- [ ] Create the base application and save its AppID above.
+- [ ] For a Playtest, create the child Playtest app from **Associated Packages
+  & DLC**, choose its public name carefully, and save its AppID above. The
+  public Playtest name cannot be changed after release.
+- [ ] Restrict Steamworks permissions to the people who need them; require
+  Steam Guard and make sure at least two trusted people can handle a release.
+- [ ] Decide whether the main store page will be public. A Playtest can instead
+  use keys without making signups or the store page public, but testers should
+  not be promised confidentiality merely because access is limited.
+
+## Content, legal, and privacy clearance
+
+- [ ] **BLOCKER — Complete the repository's outstanding originality review for
+  every released question and explanation.** Retain reviewer, date, sources,
+  revisions, and disposition.
+- [ ] **BLOCKER — Complete the outstanding copyright/license audit for every
+  image-bearing question.** Remove or replace anything whose reuse rights
+  cannot be established.
+- [ ] **BLOCKER — Complete the duplicate-question review and authoritative
+  reference verification described in `README.md`.** Release only published,
+  unflagged, cleared content.
+- [ ] Review all other shipped assets—branding, fonts, icons, audio, code,
+  screenshots, trailer footage, and third-party notices—and retain a license
+  inventory.
+- [ ] Have qualified counsel/ownership review the Terms of Service, Privacy
+  Policy, educational/medical disclaimer, trademark claims, refund/customer
+  terms, and the handling of study notes or other user-entered data.
+- [ ] Confirm the Steam store description and screenshots never imply medical
+  advice, clinical certification, guaranteed exam performance, or affiliation
+  with USMLE, NBME, FSMB, or a licensing authority.
+- [ ] Complete Steam's Content Survey honestly and make its answers consistent
+  with both the build and store page.
+- [ ] Verify `[email protected]` is monitored and that account data export,
+  permanent deletion, provider unlinking, and privacy requests work end to end.
+- [ ] Publish and test the production legal pages:
+  `https://step3.ranaze.com/terms.html` and
+  `https://step3.ranaze.com/privacy.html`.
+
+## Production service readiness
+
+- [ ] **BLOCKER — Complete the initial PRD launch and question promotion in
+  `ENVIRONMENTS.md`, including dry run, approval, apply, and post-promotion
+  verification.**
+- [ ] Confirm PRD uses a unique JWT key, PRD Mongo database, production host
+  names, production legal versions, and production secrets; no UAT data or
+  credentials may be present.
+- [ ] Configure and test the live Steam callbacks, including:
+  `https://s3q.ranaze.com/api/Auth/steam/callback` and
+  `https://s3q.ranaze.com/api/Auth/external/steam/callback`.
+- [ ] From a clean Steam account, test create-account, link-existing-account,
+  sign-out/sign-in, expired/cancelled authentication, unlinking, and account
+  deletion. Confirm the app never asks for or receives a Steam password.
+- [ ] **BLOCKER — Configure and test Stripe access purchases on the web** at
+  both `https://us3q.ranaze.com/api/access/stripe-webhook` in test mode and
+  `https://s3q.ranaze.com/api/access/stripe-webhook` in live mode. Use distinct
+  signing secrets, subscribe the required Checkout events, and test all five
+  fixed-price products. Keep the separate contribution flow only if wanted.
+- [ ] **BLOCKER — Keep Stripe checkout unavailable in the Steam build.** Before
+  enabling purchases there, configure Steamworks Microtransactions, product
+  IDs, callbacks, reconciliation, refunds, and sandbox tests. Confirm the
+  desktop export carries the `steam` feature flag.
+- [ ] Exercise production readiness endpoints and dashboards, and configure
+  alerts for API unavailability, elevated 5xx responses, authentication
+  failures, database capacity, and certificate expiry.
+- [ ] Load-test the API at the planned tester count plus headroom. Document a
+  tester-admission cap and who can stop new admissions.
+- [ ] Take and restore-test a production database backup. Record retention,
+  rollback, incident-response, and credential-rotation procedures.
+
+## Windows release build
+
+- [ ] Install the required Godot 4.6.x release export templates and confirm the
+  pinned engine version used for the release.
+- [ ] Update all visible versions from `pre-alpha`/`0.1.0` to the approved alpha
+  version in `project.godot`, `export_presets.cfg`, the UI, and release notes.
+- [ ] Decide whether to disable the Windows console wrapper
+  (`debug/export_console_wrapper=1`) for tester-facing builds.
+- [ ] Decide whether to Authenticode-sign `RanaZe.exe`; if signing, protect the
+  certificate, timestamp the executable, and verify the signature.
+- [ ] Export only from the reviewed release commit, with a clean working tree,
+  using Git Bash:
+
+  ```bash
+  GODOT_BIN=/absolute/path/to/Godot_v4.6.x-stable_win64_console.exe \
+    ./tools/export_steam_release.sh build/windows/RanaZe.exe
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **BLOCKER — Verify the export reports `deployment_environment="prd"`,
+  the exact release commit in `build_revision`, and only `s3q.ranaze.com`
+  production API endpoints.**
+- [ ] Confirm the upload directory contains `RanaZe.exe`, `RanaZe.pck`, and all
+  runtime dependencies, but no source, secrets, `.env` files, export backup,
+  debug symbols not intended for testers, or test data.
+- [ ] Virus-scan the staged files and archive a manifest containing SHA-256
+  hashes, build command, Godot version, commit SHA, build time, and builder.
+
+## SteamPipe and Steam configuration
+
+- [ ] Download the current Steamworks SDK. The SDK is required to upload with
+  SteamPipe; integrating the Steamworks runtime API is optional for this app's
+  existing browser-based Steam OpenID flow.
+- [ ] Create the Windows depot and default package for the selected AppID.
+- [ ] Create version-controlled SteamPipe app/depot VDF templates with AppIDs
+  but no Steam credentials. Point the depot content root at the staged Windows
+  directory.
+- [ ] Upload through `steamcmd`, add a human-readable build description with
+  the alpha version and commit SHA, and first assign it to a password-protected
+  `alpha` branch.
+- [ ] Configure the Windows launch option to run `RanaZe.exe` from the depot
+  root. Verify OS is Windows and architecture is 64-bit.
+- [ ] Set supported language(s) to match what is actually available in the
+  build. Do not claim interface, audio, or subtitle support that has not been
+  tested.
+- [ ] Configure install/uninstall behavior and required redistributables, if
+  any. Confirm uninstall does not remove cloud/server account data and that
+  locally generated sensitive files are understood.
+- [ ] If using a Playtest, upload and configure the build on the **Playtest
+  AppID**, not merely the base game's depot.
+- [ ] Test installation, launch, update, rollback, file verification, uninstall,
+  and reinstall entirely through the Steam client—never only by running the
+  local export.
+
+## Store and tester communication
+
+- [ ] Prepare truthful short and long descriptions, developer/publisher names,
+  tags, platform/language support, system requirements, support contact, and
+  privacy-policy URL.
+- [ ] Create required store, library, community, and client graphical assets at
+  Steam's current dimensions. Use actual alpha screenshots and clearly label
+  footage or features that are not representative of the current build.
+- [ ] Check all asset rights and Steam's graphical asset rules. Localize text
+  appearing in graphical assets for every language the game claims to support.
+- [ ] For Early Access only, complete the Early Access questionnaire, describe
+  the current state and update plan without promises the team cannot guarantee,
+  set a price justified by the current build, and use required Early Access
+  branding wherever keys are sold.
+- [ ] Draft tester instructions covering scope, known issues, medical
+  disclaimer, feedback/bug-report format, log/screenshot handling, privacy,
+  support hours, update/reset expectations, and test end date.
+- [ ] Draft the launch announcement, first patch notes, outage message, and
+  alpha-ending message before admitting testers.
+
+## Release-candidate acceptance
+
+- [ ] Promote the exact uploaded build to the protected `alpha` branch and have
+  at least two people test it independently on clean Windows 10 and Windows 11
+  user profiles.
+- [ ] Test at 1920×1080 plus a smaller supported resolution and at 100%, 125%,
+  and 150% Windows scaling. Check keyboard/mouse navigation, text clipping,
+  external browser transitions, focus return, and readable error states.
+- [ ] Run the complete learning journey: registration and legal consent,
+  practice question, randomized choices, answer/explanation/reference,
+  dashboard, review queue, notes/bookmarks, flashcards, CCS, feedback/report,
+  data export, and account deletion.
+- [ ] Run the access journey on web: questions 1–20, rolling-window exhaustion,
+  one credit per eligible first attempt, no credit for skips/repeats, the
+  20-credit earning cap, 100-credit redemption, purchase and manual activation
+  of each pass, exam-token consumption, reset confirmation, and retained
+  bookmarks/notes after reset.
+- [ ] Test offline start, connection loss during a session, API timeout, expired
+  token, server maintenance, malformed response, and recovery without corrupting
+  learner progress.
+- [ ] Run automated API/Godot tests and the production-equivalent smoke suite;
+  attach results to the release record. Do not rely only on the web UAT smoke
+  suite for the Windows Steam build.
+- [ ] Verify every feature and claim shown on the store page exists in the
+  submitted build.
+- [ ] Triage all findings. Zero unresolved critical issues; every accepted
+  non-critical issue has an owner, rationale, workaround, and target release.
+- [ ] Obtain written sign-off from engineering, content/medical review, legal/
+  privacy, operations, and the release owner.
+
+## Valve review and scheduling
+
+- [ ] Complete the selected app's Steamworks store-presence checklist and submit
+  it for review. Valve advises allowing at least seven business days even though
+  reviews commonly take three to five business days.
+- [ ] After store presence is submitted, complete the game-build checklist,
+  place a mostly final build on the default branch for Valve, and submit the
+  build for review.
+- [ ] Resolve every Valve review note and repeat the relevant acceptance tests
+  against any changed build or store material.
+- [ ] If publishing the main Coming Soon page, allow at least the current
+  Steam-required visibility period before an Early Access/full release. Confirm
+  the exact eligible release date shown in Steamworks rather than calculating
+  it from memory.
+- [ ] For a Playtest, choose limited or open signup, batch size/countries, or
+  key distribution. Never charge for Playtest access or sell Playtest keys.
+- [ ] Schedule the release while the release owner, backend operator, and
+  support contact are available for the initial monitoring window.
+
+## Launch day
+
+- [ ] Freeze unrelated PRD and client changes; confirm the approved commit,
+  Steam build ID, depot manifest, store copy, tester count, and rollback build.
+- [ ] Re-run public health/readiness checks, login, one question flow, feedback,
+  legal links, database backup status, alerts, and Steam callback.
+- [ ] Set the approved build live on the intended Steam branch.
+- [ ] For a Playtest, set the app **Playable**, then admit only the planned
+  first batch or enable the approved signup mode.
+- [ ] Install and launch from a tester account with no developer permissions.
+  Verify download size, executable, version/SHA, production environment, and
+  end-to-end authentication.
+- [ ] Publish tester instructions/announcement and open the staffed feedback
+  channel.
+- [ ] Record release time, Steam build ID, admitted tester count, incidents,
+  decisions, and changes in the release log.
+
+## Monitoring, rollback, and alpha close
+
+- [ ] Monitor API/error/auth rates, capacity, reports, support inbox, Steam
+  discussions, and content-safety feedback at the defined cadence.
+- [ ] Acknowledge critical medical-accuracy or copyright reports immediately;
+  unpublish affected content while it is reviewed.
+- [ ] Stop admissions for capacity or support overload. Set the Playtest to
+  **Not Playable** or roll back its live branch when a stop condition is met,
+  and communicate the impact to testers.
+- [ ] Patch from a reviewed commit, repeat affected acceptance tests, upload to
+  the protected branch, test through Steam, then promote the exact build.
+- [ ] At alpha end, announce the deadline, stop signups, communicate account/
+  progress retention, and set the Playtest to **Not Playable** when appropriate.
+- [ ] Export metrics without exposing personal data; triage feedback into owned
+  work; hold a retrospective; document the next test's entry criteria.
+- [ ] Retain build manifests, approvals, test evidence, incidents, content
+  review records, and the final release log according to the team's policy.
