Operate PulseTV with quiet precision.

Protected playback decisions issue or block session tokens before a stream starts.

Next: Connect production DRM provider credentials before launch.

Managed titles expose stream provider, health score, asset status, and playback readiness.

Browse, title, player, search, and admin catalog surfaces can read the published catalog.

Next: Replace demo titles as production supply arrives.

Kids mode has separate navigation, kids-only rails, parent controls, and protected playback controls.

Next: Run final parent PIN QA on mobile before public launch.

Free Phase 1 account mode is intentional. Pass review surfaces exist, but billing is not required for this launch stage.

Help Center and admin support inbox can receive demo support tickets.

Next: Add email routing and support SLAs before external users arrive.

Feature flags, experiments, retention campaigns, and public notes are available.

Waiting for API keys. Provider readiness surfaces exist, but TMDB and Cloudflare Stream credentials are not connected in this environment.

Next: Add TMDB_READ_ACCESS_TOKEN, CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID, and NEXT_STREAM_API_KEY when ready.

Waiting for DRM provider. PulseTV can issue policy tokens, but production Widevine/FairPlay/PlayReady license credentials are still pending.

Next: Choose DRM vendor and connect signing secrets plus license URLs before public paid streaming.

Local fallback mode keeps the prototype working. Production persistence is a setup step, not a demo blocker.

Next: Confirm production database and migration status before launch.
