AIVMeta Creator Mode 0.1.0 — unsigned portable Windows release
Windows 10/11 x64. No separately installed Python or FFmpeg is required.
A Windows associated MP4 player is required for preview. HTTPS Internet and an
available loopback port 8768 are required for TikTok connection.

CURRENT STATUS: Public download and local media review are available. Production
TikTok OAuth is configured, but live authorization is pending required TikTok app
approval. No successful Production account connection is claimed. Do not retry
Production Connect during this review. The preserved Sandbox demo shows authorized
API workflows. Posting is disabled for review/verification: no Inbox transfer,
upload or Direct Post. Server and desktop posting gates remain disabled.

Extract the complete ZIP into a folder you can write to. Double-click
Launch AIVMeta Creator.cmd. Keep runtime and app folders beside the launcher.
Do not run the ZIP without extracting it. No administrator installation is needed.
This application launcher/package is not code signed. Vendor runtime signatures
do not imply that the AIVMeta application is signed.

SANDBOX LOGIN REVIEW — available after controlled broker activation:
Select Sandbox Login Review, then Connect my TikTok account. The operator approves
real AIVMeta Sandbox consent in the system browser. The desktop callback returns
the genuine nickname/account identity using user.info.basic only. No video.upload,
video.publish, creator_info, media selection, transfer or publication is permitted
in this mode. Sandbox sessions/credentials and Disconnect are separate from
Production. Do not record credentials, authorization URLs or callback query codes.

Production remains configured but awaiting required TikTok approval. Once approved
and separately activated:
1. Select Inbox/Draft or Direct Post. Authorize that flow with YOUR TikTok account.
2. Choose YOUR local MP4. Preview it using your Windows video player.
3. Edit the caption. Inbox captions/settings are finalized inside TikTok.
4. Refresh creator info. For Direct Post choose privacy manually; no default.
5. Enable only available interactions. Configure AI/commercial disclosures.
6. Confirm content rights, policy consent and upload consent. Review the final
   account/media/settings confirmation before sending. No background publishing.
7. Check the actual status. Processing may take a few minutes. An ambiguous
   attempt is not automatically retried.

Supported media: MP4 with H.264, HEVC, VP8 or VP9; dimensions 360–4096 pixels;
23–60 FPS; up to 600 seconds and 4 GB, further limited by fresh TikTok creator
information. Media decoding times out after 180 seconds.

Privacy: video stays local until you expressly consent, then goes directly to
TikTok's temporary HTTPS upload URL. The broker receives OAuth data, chosen
posting metadata, video hash/size/duration and status identifiers, not video bytes.
The desktop stores only an opaque session in Windows current-user DPAPI;
review/status/duplicate receipts are local unencrypted SQLite. Do not share your
Windows profile or the encrypted session file.

Disconnect all my Production TikTok connections deletes Production server credentials and local saved
handles on confirmation. Local posting is disabled before the request. If the
network is unavailable, disabled handles are retained only to retry deletion;
use the disconnect button again. Also revoke AIVMeta in TikTok Settings > Security
& permissions > Apps and services if provider revocation could not be confirmed.
Revocation may affect both Inbox and Direct grants for your account. Reconnect
the desired flow as needed. Previously transferred media is controlled by TikTok.

Removal: disconnect while online first, close the app, then delete this extracted
folder. Delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\AIVMeta\CreatorMode to remove local session and
receipt data. Folder deletion alone does not revoke access on TikTok or remove
broker credentials; revoke in TikTok if you cannot disconnect. Server connections
expire and are deleted after at most 30 days, or sooner at token expiry.

SHA256SUMS.txt lists all packaged files except itself. The adjacent ZIP checksum
verifies transport integrity; a checksum does not establish publisher identity.
Support: hello@aivmeta.com. Privacy/Terms: https://aivmeta.com/privacy.html and
https://aivmeta.com/terms.html. Sandbox Login Review requires the matching staged broker version to be activated.
The package does not itself establish TikTok Production approval or authorization.
