What this skill enforces (do NOT skip)

Read first, then run zero probes until you've checked each gate below.

Gate 1 — Do NOT message the customer

Per feedback_dont_dump_billing_chores_on_customer.md + operator directive 2026-05-11:

• Never tell the customer "you need to top up" or "verify autotop on kie.ai/billing"
• Never ask them to send screenshots — they already confirmed autotop is enabled + card is fine
• If autotop hasn't fired, that's on Kie's clock, not theirs

Gate 2 — Do NOT drain residual balance to "trigger" autotop

The drain-to-trigger theory was empirically disproved twice (2026-05-04 + 2026-05-10). Each 402 generates a "credits insufficient" notification on the customer's dashboard. Repeated 402s spam them AND deny Kie's billing cron a quiet window.
