Consolidating Visibility and Access Rules into a Single Layer
Content visibility criteria and access control decisions were extracted from individual screens and consolidated into a single authoritative layer.
The same content can have different visibility and access states depending on a user's entitlements. When that logic is distributed across multiple screens, a change in one location can leave other screens operating on inconsistent assumptions.
The focus of this work was a clean separation between the layer that defines rules and the layer that renders them. Content visibility criteria, access control, and payment state interpretation are now defined once at the data layer; the UI receives those decisions and renders accordingly. Content streaming flows and sync/cache logic were also aligned to operate on the same rules, and the internal loop for content creation, review, and release was tightened as part of the same effort.
The visible UI change is minimal. The meaningful outcome is that the same user entering the same screen consistently receives the same visibility and access result. Consolidating these rules into a single layer is the structural guarantee for that consistency.
