💡 Codex Review
Lines 170 to 172 in 50b5887
Route paid pricing CTAs to a purchasable plan
When users click the new paid CTAs such as Start Reader, this link only sends them to /start?plan=..., but app/start/page.tsx never reads searchParams and always renders the generic free-chapter form with no checkout or hidden plan field. In the subscription and one-time flows introduced here, the selected paid plan is therefore dropped immediately, so users cannot actually buy the advertised plan from the new pricing page.
