+
+1. `_resolve_tenant` — Host → tenant resolution (MT-1 / MT-4):

+   * redirects cancelled/suspended-by-billing tenants to /billing/suspended
+   * always exempts /billing/* paths so tenants can manage their subscription
 
 Flask-SQLAlchemy already removes the scoped session on app-context teardown,
 so each request rebinds via RoutingSession.get_bind against the fresh
 g.tenant_engine — no teardown handler is needed here.
