Resolves the parked #428 question per Nikola's decision: seat usage never leaves the instance. The monthly check-in posts {licenseId} alone; counting, window and cap enforcement are entirely instance-local. The licence server was verified beforehand to require only licenseId (missing seatsUsed decodes to 0, no rejection) — its stored figure simply stays empty for instances on this version. Also fixes ARCHITECTURE's stale "check-in only when >50 seats" claim (any installed, unrevoked licence checks in — #89/#308). TDD: red watched on the runner (payload must carry the licence id and nothing else) before the splice; full suite green.

Seat usage never leaves the instance. Red watched on the runner before
the splice; licence server verified to accept the slimmer payload
(licenseId is its only required field). FAQ, ARCHITECTURE (also fixes
the stale 'only when >50 seats' claim) and CHANGELOG updated.
