+## Auth is optional, never a gate
+
+YouTube OAuth2 sign-in must NEVER block core usage. Users can go live with a manual stream key,
+build scenes, and record without authenticating. OAuth is an enhancement — it unlocks live chat,
+broadcast creation, scheduling, and YouTube-side health — not a prerequisite. Treat the sign-in
+button as "sign in (optional)", never as a requirement to use the app.
