Payment-First Architecture
- User fills book details + selects tier
- Stripe Checkout with metadata (honoree, occasion, title, tier, email)
- Webhook extracts metadata, creates/finds user, creates book
- Magic link sent to owner
- Book starts in

Session complete. Waiting on Stripe setup to proceed with testing.
