Found during the first real setup on 2026-09-23. Google greys out Publish app until the Branding page has an app name, a support email, a home page URL and a privacy policy URL, so "publish to Production" isn't one click. Step 2 now says so, and names the Error 403 access_denied an unlisted Testing account gets. The new Privacy section is what the privacy-policy URL points to. It says what's stored (three local files), which hosts are contacted (Google only; the QR code is drawn locally), and how to revoke access.
