The frame-rate boundary is correct as a product rule, but it only bites in a
Release build, where DevBuild.IsDevelopment is false and DeveloperMode cannot
unlock anything — exactly the build whose performance numbers are worth reading
(see docs/ai/environment.md: Debug pixel paths are several times slower). 60 fps
could not be tested at all.
OutputProfile.EntitlementEnforced is false: every shipped tier is selectable by
any build, and HasProOutput — the one property the tier setter, the dropdown's
strikethrough and the locked-item style all read — answers yes regardless of
ownership. static readonly rather than const, so the consumed `||` does not fold
into unreachable operand code (same reason as DevBuild.IsDevelopment).
The licence indicator row is suppressed while the switch is off: it exists to
explain what the boundary costs, and claiming "Steam ID Limit: 60fps" to an
unowned build would be a false statement. Docs corrected in place — the enforced
rule is unchanged, only its state is recorded.
Tests: one integration case covers both switch states (unowned build reaches
1080p60 with the switch off, 1080p30 with it on), so flipping at launch leaves no
red test behind. The two suites that anchor on the pinned licence row early-return
while it is absent; EntitlementTests covers that state meanwhile.
667 pass, build 0 warnings.
The paid delta is output quality, so the rule needs to be measurable rather than a word:
921,600 pixels and 30 fps, fail-closed. Models/OutputProfile.cs is that rule as pure
policy — a permitted tier passes through untouched (Pro, or the free tier's own 720p30),
a disallowed one resolves to the best tier the budget allows and carries ITS bitrate, so
a capped user is never offered an 8 Mbps budget for a 720p frame.
Applied once, in BuildEncoderOptions. That is genuinely one place: the stream and the
local recording are two output blocks of ONE ffmpeg process fed by one EncoderOptions,
so there is no second encoder to forget. (commercial.md claimed "both encoders — never
two checks"; the code is stronger than the doc, and the doc is corrected.)
Developer override, as asked: a "Developer mode — all resolutions" checkbox in App
Settings, bound to MainViewModel.DeveloperMode, which feeds HasProOutput. It is not
hidden in a release build — Controls/DeveloperPanel's Page and Compile items are removed
when Configuration != Debug, and OverlayHost adds it at runtime inside #if DEBUG, so a
shipped exe has no BAML for it at all. The setter also refuses the value when
DevBuild.IsDevelopment is false, which is now the single source for that question (the
scoreboard partial had its own duplicate const).
Two traps worth their lines: a `const bool` dev flag makes `if (!Flag) return;` an
unreachable-code warning in one configuration or the other (CS0162), so DevBuild uses
static readonly; and a Condition on an ItemGroup is invisible to a test reading
item.Attribute("Condition") — read the parent.
Tests: 14 pass across OutputProfileTests, AssemblyIdentityTests and StorePackagingTests.
The invariant test is the one that matters: iterate every shipped tier under a free
entitlement and assert none emits more than the budget, so a future 4K tier fails here
instead of shipping to everyone. App builds Debug and Release at 0 warnings.
