Milestone 0: import zappier billing, Verae middleware, and Zapier research

Compose-ready workspace: packages/zappier (rate card, portal, Stripe),
packages/verae-zapier-middleware (timestamp + NATS), packages/verae-zapier
(CLI app), vendor/zapier-platform, and research/zapier vendor corpus.

Gate 0 structure checks pass. Product code and research are not yet wired.
