v1.2.1 🔒

October 15, 2025

🛡️ Revenue Protection & Streaming Enhancements

All streaming endpoints now include token-based billing. Added feature flag to deprecate test keys in production. Complete billing parity across streaming and non-streaming endpoints.

Streaming Endpoints Enhanced

• Token Billing for Streaming: /api/v1/astrology/query/stream now deducts wallet after streaming completes
• Billing Events: New SSE events billing_completed and billing_error notify clients of payment status
• /api/vedika Routes: Registered /api/vedika/chat and /api/vedika/chat/stream endpoints (frontend-ready)
• Full Transparency: Streaming responses include same cost breakdown as non-streaming (tokens, wallet balance, processing costs)

Revenue Protection

• Test Key Deprecation: New DISABLE_TEST_KEYS environment variable to block vk_test_* keys in production
• Industry Standard Model: Like industry leaders, enforce pay-as-you-go with live keys only (vk_live_*)
• Clear Migration Path: 403 error with upgrade instructions directs users to dashboard to generate live keys
• Zero Revenue Loss: Prevents billing abuse from unlimited test key usage

Technical Improvements

• Atomic Wallet Deduction: Streaming endpoints use same Firestore transaction-based billing as non-streaming
• Feature Flag Safety: DISABLE_TEST_KEYS defaults to false (development-friendly), set true in production
• Backward Compatible: No breaking changes - existing live keys continue working seamlessly
• Production Parity: All three streaming endpoints now have identical billing behavior

Ready to Deploy

All streaming endpoints updated with token billing. Test key deprecation available via environment variable. TypeScript compilation clean, zero breaking changes, production-ready.

• Streaming Support: SSE streaming available at /api/vedika/chat/stream
• Atomic Transactions: Firestore-based wallet deduction with ACID guarantees

IP Protection
