15 planned items in Simca Launcher (Steam-like): Offline Mode, User-Initiated Updates, Package Spec, Sign-in.
The app signs in locally (device-bound key and PIN) and never signs into the cloud; selling and every core function work with no network. The launcher itself has no account and is unaffected by this mode
Depends on: LNCH-0001
The app signs in with cloud credentials so online-network features (Tap to PayCard acceptance on a phone via NFC, through a certified payment-provider SDK. Planned as an adapter; Simca does not read or store card numbers. Glossary, co-op counter, referral validation, board relay) can work; registration is needed only for this mode
Depends on: LNCH-0001
Go Offline or Go Online sets the app's login mode; the choice is remembered; it does not affect launcher updates
Depends on: LNCH-0001
When opened and connected, the launcher makes one plain GET of the signed static manifest; no account data, no telemetry, no identifiers beyond the request itself; nothing is polled afterwards
Depends on: LNCH-0001
No resident updater, no scheduled job, no startup helper
Depends on: LNCH-0001
The only request the launcher makes by itself is the single disclosed manifest request when opened; no hidden checks, no later polling, no telemetry; applying any update is always the user's action
Depends on: LNCH-0001
Automated test: in offline login mode the app opens no socket; the launcher opens at most one disclosed manifest request on open and none afterwards
Depends on: LNCH-0001
The launcher contacts only the configured manifest host; the app in online login mode contacts only allowlisted hosts for online-network features
Depends on: LNCH-0001
Button that tests reachability of the configured manifest host without sending identifiers
Depends on: LNCH-0001
Optional proxy settings for user-initiated requests
Depends on: LNCH-0001
Like a game-store launcher it has no login, no profile and no cloud state; it installs, updates and starts packages
Depends on: LNCH-0001
Starting the app in offline login mode opens no socket
Depends on: LNCH-0001
The single manifest request has no cookie, token, business id or telemetry field
Depends on: LNCH-0001
Possible switch to turn off even the single opening request; not decided
Depends on: LNCH-0001
The offer appears in offline login mode too; offline mode only means the app does not sign into the cloud
