active_subscribers_count does not include gifted subscriptions in /public/v1/channels #337

Description

Describe the bug
Endpoint GET /public/v1/channels returns active_subscribers_count that counts only active “paid/standard” subscriptions, but does not include active gifted subscriptions. This results in an incorrect active subscriber count for channels with gifted subs.

To Reproduce

Send request:
GET /public/v1/channels HTTP/1.1
Host: api.kick.com
Authorization: Bearer <REDACTED_OAUTH2_TOKEN>
Accept: /

Read response field: data[].active_subscribers_count.

Compare with the actual active subscriber total shown in Kick (where gifted subs are included). The API value is lower because gifted subs are missing.

Expected behavior
Either:

active_subscribers_count should include all active subscriptions (paid + gifted) as a single total, or

provide a separate field such as active_gifted_subscribers_count (and optionally a combined active_subscribers_total_count) so clients can compute correct totals.
