# Task #87: Arbiter Lifecycle Handlers

**✅ COMPLETE** — Soft launch blocker resolved April 6, 2026

## What Was Implemented
- Discord role sync on new subscriptions
- Grace period handling (3 days) on cancellation
- Automatic downgrade to Awakened when grace expires (hourly cron)
- Chargeback = immediate ban + role removal

## Philosophy
"We Don't Kick People Out" — expired grace → permanent Awakened tier
