Production Hardening Phase 1C — Final Commerce Integrity Closure

Phase 1C closes the final commerce-integrity gaps identified in Phase 1B review. previewCheckout now requires orderId and validates order/slot relationship. Stripe line items are fully typed. APP_ORIGIN misconfiguration crashes the server before accepting traffic in production. The Payment step now calls previewCheckout to render server-authoritative values, refreshes the quote before Stripe, and shows a changed-quote warning if the total shifts. 35 new tests added (135 total). Dead-code search clean.

server/routers.ts: previewCheckout requires orderId, validates order/slot, requireReserved: true

server/routers.ts: Stripe line items typed as Stripe.Checkout.SessionCreateParams.LineItem[]

server/routers.ts: Stripe idempotency key checkout-session-order-{orderId}

server/_core/index.ts: APP_ORIGIN crashes server in production if missing/invalid

client/src/pages/CheckoutPage.tsx: Payment step calls previewCheckout, server quote drives all values

client/src/pages/CheckoutPage.tsx: changed-quote guard, loading/error states, quote refresh before Stripe

client/src/pages/CheckoutPage.tsx: isProductType() guard replaces as any cast

server/phase1c.test.ts: 35 new tests — PREVIEW, CLIENT/SERVER AGREEMENT, QUOTE REFRESH, STRIPE, APP_ORIGIN, TYPES

reports/production-hardening/rc9-app-origin-topology.md: environment topology documented

reports/production-hardening/rc10-11-stripe-persistence.md: persistence sequence and idempotency key limitation documented
