+- **`kasapay-stripe` says which `async-stripe` it is built against**, and why it
+  is pinned exactly rather than ranged. `=1.0.0-rc.8` is still the newest
+  candidate published and there is no 1.0.0; a candidate has changed generated

+  cost to a caller is that a crate depending on `async-stripe` itself must be on

 - **`Stripe::capture`, whole or partial.** Stripe leaves `amount` at what was
   authorised and reports a partial capture in `amount_received`, so
   `Charge::amount` reads the latter where the two differ — the trait promises

+//! Exactly `1.0.0-rc.8`, pinned rather than ranged. The 1.0 line is a
+//! prerelease and a candidate has changed generated types before —
+//! `PaymentIntent` gained a public field between rc.6 and rc.7 — so which one
+//! this is built against is not left to resolution.
+//!
+//! It costs a caller one thing: a crate that depends on `async-stripe` itself
+//! has to be on the same candidate, because two exact pins at different
+//! candidates cannot resolve together. [`Stripe::client`] hands the client back
+//! so that reaching what this crate does not model needs no second dependency.
+//! The pin becomes a range the day 1.0.0 ships.
