-# Gating a beta feature
-
-Sure ships beta features behind a single per-user toggle. Users opt in via Settings → Preferences. Opted-in users see your feature; everyone else doesn't. This guide is for hooking a new feature into the gate.
-
-The intent is to ship in-progress work without blocking smaller PRs on a "feels finished" bar. You gate the entry points (routes, nav, anything that links into your feature) and iterate behind them. Once stable, you remove the gate in a small follow-up PR.
-
-## How the gate works
-
-The state lives on `users.preferences["beta_features_enabled"]`, a key inside the existing JSONB column. It defaults to `false`. Reading it goes through `User#beta_features_enabled?`.
-
-`ApplicationController` includes the `BetaGateable` concern, which exposes two methods to every controller:
-
-- `beta_features_enabled?`. Returns a boolean. `false` for logged-out callers.
-- `require_beta_features!`. A `before_action` helper. Redirects non-beta users to `/` with a flash that points them at Settings → Preferences.
-
-The concern also registers `beta_features_enabled?` as a helper method, so views can call it directly.
-
-Key files:
-
-- `app/controllers/concerns/beta_gateable.rb`. The concern.
-- `app/models/user.rb`. The `beta_features_enabled?` predicate.
-- `app/views/settings/preferences/show.html.erb`. The toggle UI users see.
-- `app/components/DS/pill.rb`. The `Beta` / `Canary` marker pill.
-- `config/locales/views/beta/en.yml`. The redirect flash copy.
-
-## Gating a controller
-
-Add `require_beta_features!` as a `before_action`. That's it.
-
-```ruby
-class GoalsController < ApplicationController
-  before_action :require_beta_features!
-end
-```
-
-Routes stay defined; the gate runs per-request. Non-beta users hitting `/goals` get redirected with a flash. Beta users pass through.
-
-If only some actions are gated, scope the `before_action`:
-
-```ruby
-class TransactionsController < ApplicationController
-  before_action :require_beta_features!, only: %i[forecast scenarios]
-end
-```
-
-## Gating a view
-
-Wrap the relevant fragment in the helper:
-
-```erb
-<% if beta_features_enabled? %>
-  <li>
-    <%= link_to t(".nav.goals"), goals_path %>
-  </li>
-<% end %>
-```
-
-Same pattern works for dashboard widgets, scoreboard cards, anything that surfaces beta data alongside non-beta data. The helper resolves on every request and reflects the current user's preference.
-
-## Marking the feature in the UI
-
-When a beta surface renders for an opted-in user, mark it. The pill component lives in the design system:
-
-```erb
-<%# Next to a page header. The md size pairs with h1 / h2. %>
-<%= render DS::Pill.new(label: "Beta", size: :md) %>
-
-<%# Next to a sidebar nav label or section title. sm is the default. %>
-<%= render DS::Pill.new(label: "Beta") %>
-
-<%# Same shape, fuchsia tone, for canary / experimental surfaces. %>
-<%= render DS::Pill.new(label: "Canary", tone: :fuchsia) %>
-
-<%# Sidebar icon rail has no room for a label. The dot-only mode keeps the tone semantics without the text. %>
-<%= render DS::Pill.new(tone: :violet, dot_only: true, title: "Beta") %>
-```
-
-Default tone is violet. Tones available: `violet`, `indigo`, `fuchsia`, `amber`, `gray`. Styles: `soft` (default), `filled`, `outline`. Sizes: `sm` (default), `md`. The Lookbook preview at `/design-system` (look for `PillComponentPreview#default`) flips every option, so you can see what your call site renders without a round trip to Rails.
-
-## Tests
-
-Gated controllers should test both states. The pattern:
-
-```ruby
-class GoalsControllerTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
-  setup do
-    sign_in @user = users(:family_admin)
-  end
-
-  test "redirects users without beta access" do
-    @user.update!(preferences: (@user.preferences || {}).merge("beta_features_enabled" => false))
-
-    get goals_url
-
-    assert_redirected_to root_path
-    assert_match(/beta/i, flash[:alert])
-  end
-
-  test "renders for users with beta access" do
-    @user.update!(preferences: (@user.preferences || {}).merge("beta_features_enabled" => true))
-
-    get goals_url
-
-    assert_response :success
-  end
-end
-```
-
-If you write a system test, flip the preference in setup the same way before the visit.
-
-## Removing the gate when the feature ships GA
-
-When a feature moves from beta to general availability, removing the gate is a small mechanical PR:
-
-1. Drop the `before_action :require_beta_features!` line from the controller.
-2. Unwrap the `if beta_features_enabled?` blocks in views.
-3. Drop the `DS::Pill` markers from headers, nav, and section titles.
-4. Delete the controller / view tests that exercise the redirect.
-
-Grep for `require_beta_features!` and `beta_features_enabled?` near your feature to confirm nothing's left behind.
-
-## Notes
-
-The flag is per-user, not per-family. Two users in the same family can see different versions of the product if one opts in and the other doesn't. That's intentional. Data is family-scoped, but visibility is a personal preference. If you write a feature that creates family-shared data (goals, budgets, etc.), the data persists when a user toggles beta off. The UI just disappears from their view while still showing up for opted-in family members.
-
-The gate does nothing for background jobs. If your feature has a Sidekiq cron job, it runs regardless of who has beta enabled. That's usually correct (data should keep flowing), but if the job sends notifications or emails, gate those at the send site too.
-
-The redirect target is `/`. If you want gated controllers to land somewhere else (a docs page, an opt-in nudge), override `require_beta_features!` in the controller, or write a thin custom `before_action` that calls `beta_features_enabled?` directly.

+## Marking the feature in the UI
+
+When a preview surface renders for an opted-in user, mark it. The pill component lives in the design system:
+
+```erb
+<%# Next to a page header. The md size pairs with h1 / h2. %>
+<%= render DS::Pill.new(label: "Preview", size: :md) %>
+
+<%# Next to a sidebar nav label or section title. sm is the default. %>
+<%= render DS::Pill.new(label: "Preview") %>
+
+<%# Same shape, fuchsia tone, for canary / experimental surfaces. %>
+<%= render DS::Pill.new(label: "Canary", tone: :fuchsia) %>
+
+<%# Sidebar icon rail has no room for a label. The dot-only mode keeps the tone semantics without the text. %>
+<%= render DS::Pill.new(tone: :violet, dot_only: true, title: "Preview") %>
+```
+
+Default tone is violet. Tones available: `violet`, `indigo`, `fuchsia`, `amber`, `gray`. Styles: `soft` (default), `filled`, `outline`. Sizes: `sm` (default), `md`. The Lookbook preview at `/design-system` (look for `PillComponentPreview#default`) flips every option, so you can see what your call site renders without a round trip to Rails.
+
+## Tests
+
+Gated controllers should test both states. The pattern:
+
+```ruby
+class GoalsControllerTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
+  setup do
+    sign_in @user = users(:family_admin)
+  end
+
+  test "redirects users without preview access" do
+    @user.update!(preferences: (@user.preferences || {}).merge("preview_features_enabled" => false))
+
+    get goals_url
+
+    assert_redirected_to root_path
+    assert_match(/preview/i, flash[:alert])
+  end
+
+  test "renders for users with preview access" do
+    @user.update!(preferences: (@user.preferences || {}).merge("preview_features_enabled" => true))
+
+    get goals_url
+
+    assert_response :success
+  end
+end
+```
+
+If you write a system test, flip the preference in setup the same way before the visit.
+
+## Removing the gate when the feature ships GA
+
+When a feature moves from preview to general availability, removing the gate is a small mechanical PR:
+
+1. Drop the `before_action :require_preview_features!` line from the controller.
+2. Unwrap the `if preview_features_enabled?` blocks in views.
+3. Drop the `DS::Pill` markers from headers, nav, and section titles.
+4. Delete the controller / view tests that exercise the redirect.
+
+Grep for `require_preview_features!` and `preview_features_enabled?` near your feature to confirm nothing's left behind.
+
+## Notes
+
+The flag is per-user, not per-family. Two users in the same family can see different versions of the product if one opts in and the other doesn't. That's intentional. Data is family-scoped, but visibility is a personal preference. If you write a feature that creates family-shared data (goals, budgets, etc.), the data persists when a user toggles preview off. The UI just disappears from their view while still showing up for opted-in family members.
+
+The gate does nothing for background jobs. If your feature has a Sidekiq cron job, it runs regardless of who has preview enabled. That's usually correct (data should keep flowing), but if the job sends notifications or emails, gate those at the send site too.
+
+The redirect target is `/`. If you want gated controllers to land somewhere else (a docs page, an opt-in nudge), override `require_preview_features!` in the controller, or write a thin custom `before_action` that calls `preview_features_enabled?` directly.
