# Admin Grant Pilot

`POST /api/v1/admin/clients/{client_id}/grant-pilot`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.nudgelink.co` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.nudgelink.co/api/v1/admin/clients/{client_id}/grant-pilot`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Grant a free pilot plan to a client (no Stripe charge).

Sets ``subscription_plan`` + ``guarantee_status=pilot`` + ``pilot_start_at`` +
``pilot_expires_at`` (= now + ``free_days``), refills the plan's monthly
credit allowance, and logs an ``admin_grant`` BillingEvent (amount = the
credit count granted, so the admin overview's granted-credits total reflects
it) plus an AuditLog row. Idempotent on ``Idempotency-Key``.
