+## Paid modules require `AILK_LICENSE_KEY`
+
+`src/lib/module-tier.ts` splits a requested module set into its free and paid
+subsets. `FREE_MODULES` is the one hand-authored list — today `marketing`
+alone — and `PAID_MODULES` is **derived** from it as every other
+`RECOGNIZED_MODULES` entry, so the paid set is currently `docs-blog`,
+`multi-tenant`, `workspace`, `scheduling`, `signal-collectors` and `commerce`.
+A module added to the vocabulary is paid until someone deliberately adds it to
+`FREE_MODULES`.
+
+Paid modules are not published inside this npm package: their bundles are
+fetched at scaffold time. `resolvePaidModules` in
+`src/lib/module-license-gate.ts` reads `AILK_LICENSE_KEY` from the environment
+(or an injected `licenseKey` option) and refuses the run when it is unset or
+empty, naming the paid modules requested and pointing at
+`https://ailaunchkit.ai/pricing`. An invalid or lapsed key is refused the same way,
+from the module distribution's own 401/403 (`src/lib/fetch-module.ts`). The
+gate runs before anything is copied (`scaffold()` in `src/programmatic.ts`), so
+a refused run leaves no partial scaffold behind.
+
+`AILK_MODULE_REGISTRY_URL` is optional: `fetchModule` uses an explicitly passed
+`registryUrl`, then that variable, then the built-in
+`DEFAULT_AILK_MODULE_REGISTRY_URL` (`src/lib/fetch-module.ts`).
+
+```bash
+# free-only — no key read, no network call
+pnpm create ailk@latest my-site --modules marketing
+
+# paid — the key is read from the environment
+AILK_LICENSE_KEY=... pnpm create ailk@latest my-site --modules marketing,docs-blog
+```
+
+A request that names no paid module never reaches the key check at all:
+`resolvePaidModules` returns an empty map on its first branch, before touching
+`process.env` or the network, so a free-only `--modules` request reads no env
+var and makes no network call (`src/lib/module-license-gate.ts`).
