Félix Malfait 6a4974e285 feat: enforce credit limits via Stripe alerts for all billing scenarios (#16801)
## Summary

This PR ensures usage alerts are created for all billing scenarios.

## Background

Per [Stripe
documentation](https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/alerts),
usage alerts are **one-time per customer** - they trigger once and only
consider usage reported after the alert is created. This means we need
to create a new alert whenever:

1.  Subscription is created (trial) - Already implemented
2.  Trial ends (user becomes Active subscriber) - **Added in this PR**
3.  Credit tier changes (upgrade) - **Added in this PR**
4.  **New billing cycle starts** - **Critical fix in this PR!**

## The Issue

Previously, the invoice webhook reset `hasReachedCurrentPeriodCap =
false` at cycle end, but didn't create a new alert. This meant after the
first billing period, there was no alert to trigger and users could
exceed their limit without being blocked.

## Changes

### 1. Invoice Webhook (`billing-webhook-invoice.service.ts`)
When invoice is finalized for `subscription_cycle`:
- Reset `hasReachedCurrentPeriodCap = false`  (already done)
- **NEW**: Create alert at the current tier cap

### 2. End Trial Period (`billing-subscription.service.ts`)
In `endTrialPeriod()`:
- **NEW**: Create alert at the paid tier cap (not trial cap)

### 3. Credit Tier Upgrades (`billing-subscription.service.ts`)
In `changeMeteredPrice()`, when upgrading immediately (not scheduled for
period end):
- **NEW**: Reset `hasReachedCurrentPeriodCap = false`
- **NEW**: Create alert at new tier cap

### 4. Alert Title Update (`stripe-billing-alert.service.ts`)
Changed from "Trial usage cap" to "Usage cap" since alerts are now used
for all scenarios.

## Stripe Alert Limits

- Max 25 alerts per meter+customer combination
- Alerts only evaluate usage reported after creation
- One-time alerts trigger once per customer

With monthly billing cycles + occasional tier changes, we should stay
well under the 25 alert limit.

## Testing

- TypeScript typechecking passes
- Backend services properly inject new dependencies

Does the world need another CRM?

We built Twenty for three reasons:

CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.

A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.

We believe in Open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
