feat(subscription): RFID enrollment, any-credential exit, prepaid booth handling

Rounds out subscriptions across enrollment, the barrier flow, and the booth.

- RFID credentials enabled with a "Read card" enrollment flow: the operator
  arms ONE chosen reader (CredentialCapture, single-shot + ~30s TTL); that
  reader's next read is captured into the form and NOT dispatched to the access
  flow — the OTHER reader keeps serving live entry/exit. Routes:
  /api/subscriptions/readers + /capture/{arm,cancel} + poll.
- Enter with one credential, exit with another: sessions are keyed by a
  per-occurrence id (SUBSESS-<short>), not the credential value, with
  permitId in the payload. Direction is decided by the barrier the reader sits
  at (entry-lane→entry, exit-lane→exit; "both" infers); a fleet (maxConcurrent>1)
  admits several cars and exits any with any credential, FIFO (oldest first).
- Booth treats a subscription occurrence as PREPAID: never quoted/charged; the
  pay/exit modal shows a subscription mode (snapshots + a single audited
  Open-barrier action) to assist a faulty exit reader / missing card;
  reopenBarrier authorizes paidAt!=null OR subscription. Active Sessions badges
  "abonim" and labels by holder name (not the raw key).
- Plus a per-read diagnostic log in the QR-reader route (serial → device →
  verdict/dir), which surfaced the earlier duplicate-reader-IP misroute.

Verified via buildServer+inject + reader-scan/TCP-capture simulations
(enrollment isolation, cross-credential + FIFO fleet, prepaid-not-charged,
subscription reopen, unpaid-transient guard). Updated wiki (subscription,
booth-exit-flow). No migration.
