All current and future changes must remain compatible across the complete supported OBS Studio range, from the minimum supported version declared by the project through the latest stable release. Implementations, build logic, and tests must not assume only the compile-time OBS version or only the newest runtime. When APIs, capabilities, or behavior differ by OBS version, use a backward-compatible implementation and verify at least the oldest supported version and the latest stable release.
Before increasing the minimum supported OBS Studio version, build the plugin against the official tag of the current minimum and document the exact required public API that is unavailable there.
All commit messages are written in English and must not carry any agent
watermark: no Co-Authored-By trailer for an agent, no "Generated with"
line, and no other mention of the tool that produced the change.
Tests and test-only files (for example everything under tests/ and the
op-*-test and probe programs) must be listed in .gitignore and must not be
committed. When adding a new test, add its path to .gitignore in the same
change.
