Refund on Quality-Gate Failure

VULK's policy of automatically refunding the credits a generation cost if the 10-step quality gate cannot be passed after autofixer retries. The user is never billed for a broken project.

Refund on Quality-Gate Failure

Refund-on-quality-gate-failure is VULK's product guarantee: if the generation pipeline cannot produce a project that passes the 10-step quality gate — even after the autofixer's retry loop — the credits the run consumed are returned to the user's balance automatically. There is no support ticket, no manual review, no waiting period. The transaction is reversed at the moment the gate marks the run unrecoverable.

VULK ships this policy because LLM-generated code is probabilistic — even on Gemini 3.1 Pro, ~3-5% of runs hit unrecoverable structural failures (mismatched route → component, broken Vite config, missing dependency). Charging the user for those runs would erode trust. The refund is logged on the project history, visible in Settings → Billing, and counted toward platform reliability metrics.
