 ### C8 — License entry UI: `LicenseSettings.tsx`
-- [ ] **Goal:** A settings panel where the user can paste a license, see status, see SKU/email/expiry, and remove it.
+- [x] **Goal:** A settings panel where the user can paste a license, see status, see SKU/email/expiry, and remove it.
 - **Files:** `src/components/settings/LicenseSettings.tsx` + test, `src/components/settings/LicenseSettings.module.css` if needed (prefer Tailwind).
 - **Behavior:**
   - Paste license → calls `useLicenseStore.setLicense` → shows status (Verifying / Valid / Invalid + reason).
