- Rating-board submission: separate certification SKU must be routed through the
  approved publisher with NPPA-facing build notes and complete content manifest.
- Store-page copy: Simplified Chinese store text must match the certification
  SKU, publisher identity, anti-addiction disclosures, and monetization
  disclosures.
- Marketing assets: replace skeletal and bone-render imagery; apply profanity
  and political-symbol filters to trailers, screenshots, community banners, and
  event scripts.
- In-game text: Simplified Chinese strings must pass profanity,
  political-symbol, loot-box disclosure, and minor-account wording review.
- Audio: Mandarin VO launch bank uses China-specific script notes where terms
  are filtered or replaced.
- Cinematics: bone rendering and skeletal-pierce presentation are replaced
  before certification export.
- Store flow: account age, minor play-time windows, real-name platform hooks,
  loot-box probability disclosure, and paid-currency copy are all SKU-gated.
- Runtime: boot assert verifies `RegionVariant.CN.NPPA`, approved publisher tag,
  bone replacement manifest, and minor time-limit compliance flags.
