a) Will discounts created with shopify functions apply to recurring (Subscription) orders? - last time I/we checked - circa 3 months ago - they didn’t

b) Will there be a possibility for priceOverride for line items in storefront cart api? The same that was added to draftOrder line items in admin api v2025-01

c) Search & Discovery: Is Shopify planning in the future to allow metaobjects to be searchable?
