+## [2026-06-21] feat | Promote Subscriptions to a top-level section with its own tabs
+Moved Subscriptions out of /setup into a standalone /subscriptions section with a header nav entry
+(Kabina · Turni · Abonimet · Konfigurimi) and its own tab bar: Abonimet (/subscriptions), Planet
+(/subscriptions/plans), Lab Tarife (/subscriptions/tariff-lab). Removed those three tabs from the Setup
+layout (Setup now: Pajisjet · Tarifa · Park · Përdoruesit · Rolet · Turnet · Loget). Tabs are
+permission-gated (subscription:read / subscription:plan / tariff:read), so an operator with only
+subscription:read sees just Abonimet; the index redirects to the first allowed sub-tab otherwise.
+Legacy /setup/subscriptions, /setup/plans, /setup/tariff-lab redirect to the new paths; the old
+/subscriptions→/setup redirect was removed (it's a real route now). Verified at runtime via Playwright
+(header order, the 3 sub-tabs, Setup no longer shows them, /setup/subscriptions redirects). The Tariff
+COMPOSER stays in Setup; only the Tariff LAB simulator moved. build+lint 14/14.
