Create was making three sequential public HTTPS billing calls (~400ms each)

only when style changes, and keep remote work outside the DB transaction.
Portfolio showcases freelancer work projects; Bookshop lists author titles with multi-platform purchase links. Includes create/edit forms, public assets, and tests.
Utility QR types only (URL, WiFi, link list, business, app download) with
SSO, Billing API integration, public /q resolver, and qr-plus:import for
