  ExpiresAt field instead of resetting to full 15-minute window

  custom_endpoints)

Code quality (MEDIUM):
- Extract filterVerifiedEmails shared helper (balance_notify_service.go)
- Add Pricing array non-empty validation for channel pricing rules
- Add platform token semantics comment in gateway_service.go
- Complete validatePlanPatch test coverage (+10 test cases)
- Replace string types with QuotaThresholdType/QuotaResetMode across frontend

UI improvements:
- Reorder cost tooltip: user billing above separator, account billing below
- Add NaN guard to accountBilled function
- Move timezone selector inline into reset-mode row (no longer standalone)

- Fix websearch provider failover: proxy error from provider-specific proxy
  now continues to next provider instead of aborting the entire loop
- Fix SMTP failure locking users out: send email first, then write cache
  and increment rate counter
- Fix notify email cache key case sensitivity: normalize to lowercase
- Add OriginalPrice validation to validatePlanPatch and validatePlanRequired
- Add empty scope validation for channel pricing rules (group_ids/account_ids)
- Add platform color to account search dropdown in channel pricing rules
