# SmartCut64 commercial release sign-off

This record is completed for one immutable release set. Automated tests can
provide evidence, but they cannot approve legal rights, merchant eligibility,
patent exposure, trademarks, or the business decision to launch.

## Engineering evidence

- [ ] Commercial release gate passed with the production public entitlement
  key, real HTTPS service URL, and a paid release-test entitlement.
- [ ] Exact signed installer and portable ZIP passed isolated install, launch,
  shell-registration, uninstall, and post-package signature verification.
- [ ] Paid output is clean and playable; Evaluation output is visibly
  watermarked throughout every video segment.
- [ ] Required mid-GOP smart-render outputs pass FFmpeg validation and the
  representative MPC-BE/player, codec, audio, subtitle, HDR, GPU, and long-file
  matrix recorded for this release.
- [ ] Optional elevated Application Verifier completed, or an identified
  release owner formally accepted and documented its omission.

Evidence locations/notes:

## Licensing and merchant evidence

- [ ] Production Cloudflare Worker, KV, domain, secrets, MFA, monitoring,
  backup, rotation, and incident-recovery controls are operational.
- [ ] Two independent encrypted/offline backups of the production entitlement
  private key were restored and verified without exposing the key to Git,
  packages, logs, or Lemon Squeezy.
- [ ] Lemon Squeezy live-store approval, payout/tax eligibility, product files,
  receipt links, two-device activation, transfer, refund, revocation, timeout,
  and support-reset flows passed against the exact release hashes above.

Evidence locations/notes:

## Independent review

- [ ] Qualified counsel approved the exact GPL/LGPL delivery, Qt replacement
  path, customer terms, privacy notice, refund/digital-content flow, and
  merchant-of-record configuration for every launch territory.
- [ ] Qualified patent advice resolved AVC/H.264, HEVC/H.265, AAC, and other
  enabled codec exposure for the intended binaries, territories, and sales
  model; required licences and costs are documented.
- [ ] The SmartCut64 name, logo, splash/store artwork, screenshots, and factual
  VideoReDo compatibility wording passed trademark/copyright clearance.

## Business authorization

I confirm that the evidence above applies to the exact release hashes in this
record and authorize enabling the live SmartCut64 checkout.

- Date and time (UTC):

If any release file, entitlement key, service URL, legal text, product wording,
or checkout configuration changes, this sign-off no longer authorizes launch
until the affected gates are repeated and a new record is completed.
