When the stack builder picks it
The builder reads each job's rules from the top and takes the first step whose conditions hold and whose plan fits the money left. Canva is named in these steps:
- Graphic design, step 2 of 3, when less than $10 is left for it: the free plan; the step also names Adobe Express, and the best score takes it.
- Graphic design, step 3 of 3, otherwise: Pro ($18/mo, or $12/mo billed yearly); the step also names Figma, Adobe Express and Adobe Photoshop, and the best score takes it.
The rules are public in stack-rules.json, and how the stack builder scores explains the tie-break.
