Summary

Lite sells one auto-renewing subscription, pro_pass. It removes the ads and unlocks the Pro features for one year. The decision note is in headquarters: notes/2026-10-25_yearly-pass.md.

• The sheet. MainActivity.offerPass shows a title, the gate's feature text (only from the gate), one statement about what the money pays for, the pass with the price from Play, the renewal terms, and a link to the Pro app. The sheet replaces the "Part of Pro" dialog. Without Play or without the product, the sheet shows only the Pro link.
• Entry points.
  • Lite and Foss show "Support the app" above the folds on the landing screen, and as the last row of the document actions.
  • In Lite, the house ad and the fullscreen snackbar also open the sheet.
  • Foss goes to GitHub Sponsors.
  • Pro keeps only its sponsor row in the folded settings.
• Entitlement. BillingManager asks Play at each launch, because a pass ends. Entitlement.of maps the owned products:
  • The pass gives Pro.
  • The old lifetime purchases (remove_ads_for_eva, love_and_everything) give Pro.
  • The old remove_ads_for_1y and remove_ads_subscription keep only the ad removal.
• When a pass ends. The change takes effect at the next launch, because AdManager does not turn back on once it removes the ads.
• Editing scope. Features.advancedEditing now reads the entitlement. A new pass renders the open document again, because CoreLoader sets the editing scope while it translates. If the edit mode is on, the render waits until the edit mode ends, so no edit is lost.
• Features.onPlay. This flag comes from the review/noReview source sets and separates Pro from Foss.
• Removed. OwnedPurchases, the "Remove advertisements" string in all locales, and ic_block.

The reader entry is a row in the document actions, not a link beside the banner. AdMob policy discourages tappable elements close to an ad, because they cause accidental clicks.

Before release

1. Create the subscription pro_pass in the Play Console for Lite. Done: base plan yearly, auto-renewing, active in 178 countries at €2.99 (US $2.79 before sales tax, UK £2.49).
2. Test a purchase, a restore, and a cancellation from the internal test track with a license tester account.
3. Reword crouton_remove_ads. Done in e2ac51c: the new key crouton_pass says that OK shows how to remove the ads.
4. Translate the new pass_*, menu_support, and crouton_pass strings.

Test plan

• ./gradlew spotlessCheck assembleDebug lintProDebug lintLiteDebug lintFossDebug
• testProDebugUnitTest testLiteDebugUnitTest, including the new EntitlementTest
• Lite on a Pixel_6_Pro emulator: the landing row shows, and the sheet opens. The emulator has no Play billing, so the sheet shows only the Pro link.
• A real purchase on the internal test track
