    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nIn an `invoice.paid` / `invoice.payment_succeeded` webhook handler, `invoice.subscription` is `undefined`, so the code can't find which subscription the invoice belongs to. Also missing: `invoice.subscription_details`, `invoice.quote`, `invoice.subscription_proration_date`, line-item `subscription`, `subscription_item`, `type` and `proration`.\n\n## Cause\nAPI version `2025-03-31.basil` added a `parent` field to invoices, invoice items and invoice line items. It describes the upstream object (subscription, quote, …) and replaces the old top-level reference fields, which were removed.\n\n## Fix\n```diff\n- const subId = invoice.subscription as string\n+ const subId = invoice.parent?.type === \"subscription_details\"\n+   ? (invoice.parent.subscription_details?.subscription as string)\n+   : null\n```\nInvoice items use `invoiceitem.parent.subscription_details.subscription` in the same way (check `parent.type`). Also update your webhook endpoint's API version so live payloads match the SDK types.\n\n## Verify\nTrigger `stripe trigger invoice.paid` against a webhook endpoint on the new API version and log `invoice.parent`.\n\n## Sources\n- https://docs.stripe.com/changelog/basil/2025-03-31/adds-new-parent-field-to-invoicing-objects\n- https://docs.stripe.com/changelog/basil",
