  Replaces the 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold (roadmap#35), which carried invented
  request quotas and per-minute rate limits that APIGovernance.Dev has never published.
  These three tiers are read verbatim from the pricing section of the APIGovernance.Dev
  home page, which is the only page on the site that states prices — there is no
  /pricing page (https://apigovernance.dev/pricing returns HTTP 404, probed 2026-09-04).
  The site publishes prices and feature bullets only; it publishes no API request
  quotas, no overage rates and no rate limits, so none are recorded here.
