docs: rollout economics as measured (metering changed the key + funding steps) - #1

Conversation
Interactive metering went live 2026-11-05 and the subsidy stopped the same day, which invalidates the key and funding steps this plan was written against. - A trusted-client key (ifc_) buys nothing: with no end-user subject it resolves trusted_unlinked and lands on the same 10-queries-a-day free tier. Apps need an ACCOUNT key (ik_live_), which the package already sends correctly. Step 5 rewritten; the fleet key is minted. - No funding call is needed. spend_earned is on and earned_spendable counts, so the nodes' $15.23 of confirmed earnings already pays for interactive inference. A short JSON call charges 5 micro-USD, so that is ~3M calls. fund-from-earnings is one-way and would gain nothing. - Recorded the real risk: both paid keys are dead (OpenAI 401 invalid, Anthropic no credit), so c0mpute is not a default with a safety net, it is the only working provider. - Wave 1 done: autoblog 0.5.0.

Interactive metering went live 2026-11-05 and the subsidy stopped the same day, so this plan's key-minting and funding steps were written against economics that no longer exist. Measured against production and corrected.
What changed
ifc_) buys nothing. With no end-user subject it resolvestrusted_unlinkedand lands on the same 10-queries-a-day free tier as an anonymous caller. Fleet apps need an account key (ik_live_) — billing resolves an account, not an app. The package already sends it asAuthorization: Bearer, so no package change was needed. Step 5 rewritten.interactive_billing.spend_earnedistrueandspendableMicrocountsearned_spendable_micro, so the nodes' $15.23 of confirmed earnings already pays for interactive inference. A short JSON generation charges 5 micro-USD → roughly 3 million calls.fund-from-earningsis explicitly one-way and would have written those dollars out ofprovider_available_usdfor no gain.free_tier_when_emptyistrue, so an account key on an empty balance degrades to the free tier rather than402. A key is always safe to wire up.The risk worth reading
Both paid keys are dead:
OPENAI_API_KEY→401 Incorrect API key provided(invalid, not just out of credit),ANTHROPIC_API_KEY→credit balance too low. The router parks them correctly and apps stay up, but c0mpute is not the default with a safety net — it is the only working provider. Verified live end to end:provider=c0mpute,huihui_ai/qwen3.5-abliterated:9b, 26s, charged 5 micro-USD against earnings.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
