docs: Starter becomes Free - #11

Conversation
Pricing pivot 2026-08-17 (drivly/auto.dev#291): Starter is closed to new signups and Free is the entry tier. The README still advertised Starter as the way in, so a reader following it lands on a plan they cannot buy. The Plans table also said "Free + data fees" for Starter. Both halves are now wrong: Free is the plan NAME, and it incurs no data fees at all — it is a hard cap at 1,000 calls, not a metered allowance. Growth and Scale keep their data fees. Renamed the tier columns in the MCP tool and SDK method tables. Safe as a rename: Free and Starter are entitlement-identical (VIN Decode, Listings, Photos), differing only past 1,000 calls, where Free stops and Starter meters overage. No code changes needed. This SDK has no plan, price or checkout logic — verified across src/, and errors.ts passes API error bodies through without interpreting plan names. Deliberately untouched: - src/core/types.generated.ts still lists "Starter" in the plan enum. It should: the API returns that value for the ~1,730 grandfathered subscriptions. It is also generated, so a hand edit would be overwritten. - src/docs/data.ts mirrors docs.auto.dev, which changed in drivly/docs.auto.dev#27. That wants regenerating through its own pipeline rather than editing here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Part of the pricing rollout — drivly/auto.dev#291. README only, no code changes.
Why
Starter is closed to new signups (pivot 2026-08-17) and Free is the entry tier. This README still advertised Starter as the way in, so a reader following it lands on a plan they cannot buy. This repo is public, which makes it the most exposed copy we had left.
What changed
The Plans & Pricing table said:
Both halves were wrong. Free is the plan name now, and it incurs no data fees at all — it's a hard cap at 1,000 calls, not a metered allowance. Growth and Scale keep theirs.
Also renamed the tier columns in the MCP-tools and SDK-methods tables. Safe as a rename: Free and Starter are entitlement-identical (VIN Decode, Listings, Photos) and differ only past 1,000 calls, where Free stops and Starter meters overage.

src/— this SDK has no plan, price or checkout logic.errors.tspasses API error bodies through without interpreting plan names, so 402/429 responses carry whatever the API says and need nothing here.Deliberately untouched
src/core/types.generated.ts"Starter"in the plan enum — correct, the API returns it for the ~1,730 grandfathered subscriptions. Also generated, so an edit would be overwritten.src/docs/data.tsThat second one is worth a decision: once docs#27 merges, this file is stale until someone reruns the generator.

auto-dot-dev/mcphas the same three tier-column lines in its README. Private and last pushed 2026-05-12, so lower urgency — flagged, not fixed.
