## Rules to follow
- Use a paid plan to export .riv files without the splash screen.
- Use Enterprise if revenue exceeds $10M.

## How an agent gets files
- Web runtimes are distributed via npm (e.g. @rive-app/canvas, @rive-app/webgl2, @rive-app/react-canvas); load .riv files in the runtime. (sign-in: none)
- Formats: riv
- Not allowed: Free plan exports play a Rive splash screen; Cadet and above ship without it.
- Not allowed: Enterprise tier is labeled for $10M+ annual revenue.
- Not allowed: Mark .riv files as binary in git (*.riv binary) so line endings do not corrupt them.
