# Chronicler Dispatch — Phase 11D $license Variable Missing

## 500 Error on Admin Page

After manually copying the updated `view.blade.php` to the deployed location, the page throws a 500:

```
Undefined variable $license at views/...index.blade.php:66
```

**Root cause:** The controller isn't passing `$license` to the view. The view references `$license['status']`, `$license['grace_expires']`, etc. but `controller.php` isn't populating it via `LicenseService::getState()`.

Please check `admin/controller.php` — does it call `LicenseService::getState()` and pass `$license` to the view? If not, that's the fix needed.

Once pushed I'll re-copy the controller and test again.
