Align Pilot buy-path fidelity: HTML GET /v1/gateway/pilot now redirects to /buy#pilot

[Copilot]

This addresses the remaining Pilot lock-path fidelity gap: browser-style requests to GET /v1/gateway/pilot were returning API-style paywall JSON instead of routing humans to the buy funnel. The change preserves unpaid API semantics while aligning HTML navigation to the intended CTA path.

• Pilot endpoint behavior

  • Updated GET /v1/gateway/pilot to branch on HTML Accept and return 302 to ${BASE_URL}/buy#pilot.
  • Kept non-HTML behavior unchanged (402 PAYMENT_REQUIRED challenge when payments are configured; existing fallback otherwise).

• Audit guardrail for regression prevention

  • Extended scripts/align-audit.mjs to assert:
    • GET /v1/gateway/pilot with Accept: text/html returns 302
    • Location points to /buy#pilot

router.get("/v1/gateway/pilot", (req, res) => {
  const base = config.BASE_URL.replace(/\/$/, "");
  if (wantsHtml(req.headers.accept)) {
    res.redirect(302, `${base}/buy#pilot`);
    return;
  }
  // existing JSON paywall behavior remains
});

• Fixes @copilot audit+push: Pilot buy path fidelity (402/CTA/deploy) #18
