## Symptom
Code that previews the next invoice or a proration (`stripe.invoices.retrieveUpcoming({ customer })`, `GET /v1/invoices/upcoming`, `/v1/invoices/upcoming/lines`) no longer exists in the SDK types or fails on the new API version.

## Cause
`2025-03-31.basil` removed the Upcoming Invoice API in favor of the Create Preview Invoice API. You also can no longer preview a customer's next invoice across all their subscriptions. You must pass something specific along with `customer`: `subscription`, `subscription_details.items`, `schedule`, `schedule_details.phases`, or `invoice_items`.

## Fix
```diff
- const upcoming = await stripe.invoices.retrieveUpcoming({ customer, subscription })
+ const preview = await stripe.invoices.createPreview({ customer, subscription })
```
Proration preview for a plan change:
```ts
await stripe.invoices.createPreview({
  customer, subscription,
  subscription_details: { items: [{ id: itemId, price: newPriceId }], proration_behavior: "create_prorations" },
})
```

## Verify
The preview returns an Invoice object with no `id` persisted. `grep -rn retrieveUpcoming` should be empty.
