 - [x] **Paid-tier join flow** end-to-end (blocked on localhost by HelcimPay.js iframe `X-Frame-Options: sameorigin`; use cloudflared tunnel or ngrok HTTPS). ✅ 2026-04-18 — verified via tunnel; two bugs found and fixed along the way (missing `tv` in JWT payload, missing welcome email).
 - [ ] **Event ticket purchase with payment** (same iframe limitation).
 - [x] **Tier upgrade free → paid.** Account → tier change → `/member/payment-setup?tier=&circle=` → Helcim $0 verify → subscription created. ✅ 2026-04-18 — verified via tunnel; one bug found and fixed (`ColumnsLayout cols="1"` silently dropped default slot on `payment-setup.vue`).
-- [ ] **Paid → free downgrade.** Confirms Helcim subscription is cancelled.
-- [ ] **Paid → paid tier swap.** Confirms existing subscription is updated, not recreated.
-- [ ] **Annual join end-to-end.** New paid signup picks annual cadence at $15 tier, completes payment, Mongo record has `billingCadence: 'annual'` and Helcim sub is under `Annual Membership` with `recurringAmount: 150`.
-- [ ] **Annual tier swap within-cadence.** Annual $15 member changes to $50 annual, `updateHelcimSubscription` called with `{ recurringAmount: 500 }`, Mongo `contributionTier` updated, `billingCadence` unchanged.
+- [x] **Paid → free downgrade.** Confirms Helcim subscription is cancelled. ✅ 2026-04-18 — verified via tunnel; Mongo updated (`contributionTier:"0"`, `helcimSubscriptionId:null`) and Helcim sub deleted. One bug found and fixed (`helcimFetch` threw on empty 204 response body, masked as best-effort success).
+- [x] **Paid → paid tier swap.** Confirms existing subscription is updated, not recreated. ✅ 2026-04-18 — covered by annual tier swap below (same `updateHelcimSubscription` code path, same `recurringAmount` PATCH).
+- [x] **Annual join end-to-end.** New paid signup picks annual cadence at $15 tier, completes payment, Mongo record has `billingCadence: 'annual'` and Helcim sub is under `Annual Membership` with `recurringAmount: 150`. ✅ 2026-04-18 — verified via tunnel; one label bug found and fixed (`$50/yr` was ambiguous between `$5 tier annual` and `$50 tier monthly`; dropdown now shows `$5/mo → $50/yr`).
+- [x] **Annual tier swap within-cadence.** Annual $15 member changes to $50 annual, `updateHelcimSubscription` called with `{ recurringAmount: 500 }`, Mongo `contributionTier` updated, `billingCadence` unchanged. ✅ 2026-04-18 — verified via tunnel; TierPicker now shows `$500/yr` + `$50/mo tier` subtitle for clarity.
 - [ ] **Pre-registrant invite → accept flow** with paid tier (exercises Helcim customer creation during acceptance).
 - [ ] **Magic-link login** including 15-min expiry and jti burn on reuse.
 - [ ] **Guest event signup** — four branches: new email + consent, new email without consent, existing guest, existing active member. Confirms cookie only sets for new/guest, and confirmation email appends `/login` link for real members.
