Not covered — these still cost you SOL

Sponsorship covers the twelve actions above and nothing else. Everything else in the ArNS, ANT and core programs stays on the direct-signer path via @ar.io/sdk and costs the user SOL — notably buying a returned name (auctions, deliberately excluded: the premium is unbounded), claiming a reserved name, the primary-name flow (which lives in the ario core program), release/reassign, and ANT-level metadata.

Note ANT-level metadata (the ANT's own name/ticker/description/keywords/logo) is distinct from RECORD-level metadata, which setArNSRecordMetadata does sponsor. Don't tell users they can "manage a name forever without SOL" — scope the claim to the twelve actions above.
