== v0.45.1 — Dev Accounts Can Link Before Launch ==
* FOUND LIVE IN TESTING, FIXED THE SAME HOUR: before launch nobody can pass the "bought it on Steam" check — including dev accounts — so the new link gate refused the very accounts building it. The server now honors an exempt list for the dev and playtest accounts, and every refusal is logged with the exact verdict and Steam ID so the next mystery answers itself.
* The "Too many attempts" wall is gone for normal play: each Steam action now has its own allowance (30 per 15 minutes instead of 10 shared across sign-in, linking, purchase checks and email attach) — the desktop's own background sign-ins no longer eat the budget your buttons need.
