Offline, a subscriber keeps their paid features
Launching without a network dropped every subscriber to the free tier — and erased their licence.

A subscriber who opens the app without a network keeps their paid features. On a cold launch with no connection, the app fell back to the free tier — catalogue, exhibitions, publications, tags, collections, archives, integrity checks and history disappeared from navigation — and erased the cached licence. This was precisely the situation offline mode exists to serve: the studio or the location shoot with no Wi-Fi.
Three faults compounded. The account identity was not kept from one launch to the next, although the tokens were. “Offline” was indistinguishable from “signed out”, and signing out drops the cached licence. And the session was checked before the licence, so a valid, signed, unexpired licence was overruled by the inability to reach the server.
What now bounds offline validity is the grace window: the one the server grants, or thirty days since the last successful contact. Past it, the app says so and offers to check — it no longer makes features vanish without explanation.
Found by installing the notarised DMG and switching off the Wi-Fi, not by re-reading the code.
