# Column Rename: finish_date → end_date

## Overview
Renamed the `finish_date` column to `end_date` across the entire billing module for better semantic clarity. The column represents when a server's subscription ends/expires, so "end_date" is more descriptive.

## Database Impact

### For Fresh Installations
- New installations will create the `ogp_billing_orders` table with `end_date` DATETIME NULL

### For Existing Installations
- Run the updated `migration_to_invoices.sql` script
- The script will handle the column rename automatically using dynamic SQL:
  ```sql
  -- Checks if column exists as 'finish_date' and renames to 'end_date'
  -- Then converts data type from VARCHAR to DATETIME
  ```

## Testing Checklist
- [x] Module schema updated (module.php)
- [x] Migration script updated (migration_to_invoices.sql)
- [x] All PHP files using the column updated
- [x] All SQL queries updated
- [x] All variable names updated
- [x] All comments and documentation updated
- [x] Verified no remaining `finish_date` references (except log files)

## Backwards Compatibility
⚠️ **BREAKING CHANGE**: This rename requires running the migration script on existing databases. 

**Migration Path:**
1. Backup database
2. Run updated `migration_to_invoices.sql`
3. The script will automatically rename `finish_date` to `end_date`
4. Verify column exists: `SHOW COLUMNS FROM ogp_billing_orders LIKE 'end_date';`

## Notes
- Log files may still contain old references to `finish_date` - this is expected and harmless
- The semantic meaning of the column is unchanged (server expiration date)
- All date calculations remain identical
- No functional changes, only naming improvement for clarity
