 ### The two things that catch people out

-the ini. A missing ini is not a neutral default.
+**There is no compiled-in fallback - ship the ini.** If `EventSaver.ini` is
+missing, or both `url` and `folder` are blank, EventSaver has no source to read
+and shows nothing. That is deliberate: the source used to carry the reference
+site's file server as its default `Folder`, so a missing ini silently pointed a
+new site at someone else's share. It is empty now (ADR-015), and failing
+visibly beats displaying another site's slides.

+Check any binary you were handed rather than built. A `.scr` compiled before

+goes missing. Build from the source in `plugins/slides/client/` - see BUILD
+instructions in [EVENTSAVER.md](EVENTSAVER.md).
 
 **If you enforce the ini by hash, your own edits revert.** The reference
 manifest pins `EventSaver.ini` with `DetectionMethod: Hash`, which is what makes
