ConnorYohandGitHub ee9fdeed6b fix(payg): run the entitlement guard before the charge interceptor (#6622)
## Problem

When the `EntitlementGuard` refuses a request with **402** (team is over
its free allowance / spending cap, or has no subscription to bill), the
handler never runs — so it must not charge. But it did: the guard (order
**1100**) ran *after* the charge interceptor (**1000**), so
`openProcess` had already written the charge before the 402, and
`afterCompletion` then billed it as "customer paid for the attempt" — a
ledger debit, and a **Stripe meter for a subscribed-over-cap team**.

## Fix

**Run the guard first** (order **900**, before the charge interceptor at
1000). Spring runs interceptors in ascending order on the way in and
**skips a later interceptor's `preHandle` (and `afterCompletion`)
entirely once an earlier one returns `false`** — so a refused request
short-circuits with its 402 *before* the charge interceptor runs at all.
A blocked request never opens a process, materialises inputs, or writes
a charge.

This replaces the earlier attribute-flag + `afterCompletion`-refund
approach with a simpler reorder (per review): the no-charge-on-block
guarantee is now **structural**, and it also avoids the wasted
open-then-refund churn (no temp-file write, no debit/refund pair) for
refused requests.

### Why the reorder is safe
- `EntitlementGuard` reads no `PaygChargeInterceptor` state and has **no
`afterCompletion`** (only `preHandle`), so reverse-order teardown is a
non-issue.
- The legacy `UnifiedCreditInterceptor` (default order **0**, and only
registered under the `legacy-credits` profile) still runs first, so any
legacy rejection wins.
- For *admitted* requests both interceptors still run (guard then
charge) — behaviour is unchanged; only refused requests now
short-circuit before the charge.

## Tests

`PaygWebMvcConfigTest` locks the `ENTITLEMENT_GUARD_ORDER <
INTERCEPTOR_ORDER` invariant (if it's ever reversed, refused requests
would bill again — this fails first). Existing `EntitlementGuardTest`
already proves the guard returns 402 on a degraded/billable request.
`:saas:test` + spotless green.

## Related (separate, in progress)

The **fail-cleanly + fire-the-modal** half (suppress the error toast,
trigger the subscribe/raise-cap modal via the existing
`subscribed`/`category` signal — catching the 402 centrally so direct
API usage is handled, and propagating the entitlement reason through the
async policy-run status) lands **with Ethan's modal** so we don't remove
the toast before there's a popup to replace it.
