Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for CineSend. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- NexGuard forensic watermarking that survives re-encoding and a phone pointed at the screen
- Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady DRM, which require licensed keys issued to companies
- the studio and festival trust that makes anyone send you a master in the first place
- Aspera acceleration for moving finished masters across continents
- branded Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, and smart TV apps for the screening room
- the audit trail and chain of custody a distribution contract asks for
