Refund Automation — Tiered Player Cancellations on Autopilot

Per-event toggle between fully automated and manual organizer review. Players see the exact refund amount before confirming. Multi-division registrations cancel per-division, not bundle-wide. Platform fees stay non-refundable. Backed by Stripe-compliant Connect refunds, an immutable policy snapshot on every registration row, idempotency at every layer, and a full audit trail.
