fix(pricing): remove the phantom "XLSX exports" claim from API Business (#4974) by koala73 · Pull Request #4975 · koala73/worldmonitor

koala73 · 2026-07-06T12:19:08Z

Elie's catch post-#4946: no XLSX export functionality exists anywhere in the product — the only xlsx mentions are the marketing string itself (shipped with the original hidden catalog in #4563) and the unconsumed exportFormats metadata. Same defect class as the 50,000-req/day overpromise.

Removed from every surface: catalog bullet, both live-catalog mirrors (edge endpoint + Railway seeder), apiSection.businessWebhooks in all 25 locales (→ "Priority support"), pricing.md (prose + machine-readable JSON), pricing.mdx, /pro JSON-LD offer, and the generated tiers.json + en/fa placeholders via regen. exportFormats metadata left as-is (entitlement-row shape, nothing consumes it). Verified zero remaining XLSX references on pricing surfaces; the two remaining repo hits are unrelated data-pipeline docs (EU fuel-price XLSX source files).

54/54 across freshness/parity + drift + locale-registry + billing-mode + funnel-policy; public/pro rebuilt.

Post-merge: purge DELETE /api/product-catalog again — the currently-cached payload still carries the XLSX string until then.

Closes #4974

…ss (#4974) Elie's catch: the tier advertises XLSX exports, but no XLSX exporter, endpoint, or library exists anywhere in the product — the only xlsx mentions are the marketing string itself and the unconsumed exportFormats metadata. The bullet shipped with the original hidden catalog entry (#4563) and #4946 propagated it to every public surface. Removed from: catalog marketingFeatures, both live-catalog mirrors (api/product-catalog.js + ais-relay.cjs), apiSection.businessWebhooks copy (25 locales -> "Priority support"), pricing.md prose + JSON summary, pricing.mdx table + bullets, /pro JSON-LD offer description; tiers.json + en/fa placeholders via generator regen. exportFormats metadata left untouched (entitlement-row shape, no consumer). The tier's true differentiators stand: 300 req/min, 10,000 req/day, priority support. public/pro rebuilt; 54/54 across freshness/parity + drift + locale-registry + billing-mode + funnel-policy suites.

Greptile Summary

This PR removes the phantom "XLSX exports" marketing claim from the API Business tier across every pricing surface — a false feature that never had any implementation behind it. All 25 locale files, the Convex catalog source of truth, the edge product-catalog endpoint, the Railway relay seeder, documentation, JSON-LD structured data, and the generated bundles are updated consistently.

Marketing claim removed from all surfaces: api/product-catalog.js, convex/config/productCatalog.ts, scripts/ais-relay.cjs, public/pricing.md, docs/pricing.mdx, public/pro/index.html, pro-test/index.html JSON-LD offers, and all 25 locale businessWebhooks strings now omit "XLSX exports."
exportFormats metadata intentionally left intact: API_BUSINESS_FEATURES.exportFormats in convex/config/productCatalog.ts still contains \"xlsx\" as an entitlement-schema placeholder, but no application code reads that field to gate UI or API behavior — confirmed by absence of any .exportFormats usage in src/ or server/.
Post-merge cache flush still required: the live /api/product-catalog Redis cache will continue serving the stale XLSX string until DELETE /api/product-catalog is manually issued (documented in PR description).

Confidence Score: 4/5

Safe to merge — the false XLSX marketing claim is removed consistently from every identified pricing surface, and no application logic is broken by the change.

The XLSX string is gone from all live-facing surfaces. The one wrinkle is that API_BUSINESS_FEATURES.exportFormats in the Convex catalog still lists "xlsx" as an entitlement-schema value for a feature that doesn't exist. No code currently reads that array to gate behaviour, so it's inert today — but it's stale data that will mislead the next developer who adds export-gating logic. The Railway relay script also maintains its own hard-coded copy of the tier config, which required a separate manual edit and will need to be kept in sync for future pricing changes.

convex/config/productCatalog.ts (API_BUSINESS_FEATURES.exportFormats still contains "xlsx"); scripts/ais-relay.cjs (duplicated DODO_TIER_CONFIG).

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
api/product-catalog.js	Removes "XLSX exports" from the API Business features array; clean one-line change to the edge function's TIER_CONFIG.
convex/config/productCatalog.ts	Marketing feature string removed from PRODUCT_CATALOG apiBusiness entry; however API_BUSINESS_FEATURES.exportFormats still contains "xlsx" as an entitlement-schema entry with no current consumer.
scripts/ais-relay.cjs	Updates DODO_TIER_CONFIG (Railway seeder's own copy of tier data) to remove XLSX; correctly mirrors the api/product-catalog.js change, though the duplication across two files is an existing drift risk.
public/pricing.md	Removes XLSX from both the prose description and the machine-readable JSON block for API Business.
docs/pricing.mdx	Removes XLSX from the Mintlify docs pricing table row and the prose tier description for API Business.
pro-test/src/locales/en.json	Removes XLSX from both the marketingFeatures array and the businessWebhooks UI string; fa.json is identical (intentional English placeholder per PR description).
pro-test/src/generated/tiers.json	Generated file correctly regenerated without XLSX in the API Business features array.
public/pro/index.html	JSON-LD offer description for API Business updated; asset hashes rotated to reflect rebuilt bundles.

exportFormats entitlement still claims "xlsx" for a non-existent feature

API_BUSINESS_FEATURES.exportFormats retains "xlsx" while the product has no XLSX export implementation. Nothing currently reads this array to gate UI or API behaviour (confirmed: no .exportFormats access in src/ or server/), so there's no live defect today. However, the field is typed, schema-validated in Convex, and included in the EntitlementState interface — the moment any code starts checking exportFormats.includes('xlsx'), Business-tier users would be incorrectly granted access to a feature that doesn't exist. Removing "xlsx" from this array now keeps the entitlement data honest and removes the future footgun.

Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

_{Reviews (1): Last reviewed commit: "fix(pricing): remove the phantom "XLSX e..." | Re-trigger Greptile}

…-links + feature-array parity (PR #4975 review) Greptile's two findings on the removal PR, both addressed: - exportFormats metadata still listed "xlsx" for api_business — inert today (nothing consumes the array) but primed to mislead the next developer who adds export-gating. Removed, and the PlanFeatures field now carries an explicit do-not-gate-on-this warning citing #4974. Enterprise's array left as-is (sales-led; the field-level warning covers it). - The seeder's DODO_TIER_CONFIG is a hand-maintained copy of the edge's TIER_CONFIG with nothing linking them. Both now carry cross-reference comments naming all three copies and the parity test — and the parity test itself now compares the FEATURE ARRAYS (mirror-to-mirror, and against generated tiers.json), which is exactly the check whose absence let the XLSX string survive in copy. Mutation-verified: re-adding the phantom to either mirror fails 4 assertions. 619/619 convex suite, 14/14 freshness/parity, typecheck:api clean, generator regen no-op.
