A product can be filed under another IMVU category than its parent's: any category path the hub has seen on a
revision's parent (and each step of it), within the parent's top-level category, so it stays the same kind of
product (the proxy tells clothing, furniture and rooms apart by category). It's an info field like the others:
lockable, in the history, undone by the same rules. Lists filter by the chosen path, and products show it.

New uploads are drafts: only their creator and moderators see them, nobody can get or wear them, and they're
deleted if not published within 30 days (their catalogs get delete changes). The creator reviews the info and
publishes it.
Editing a product's info is a permission check now (product:edit): moderators can edit anyone's with a reason the
creator sees, lock fields (product:lock; locked fields need product:edit-locked) and lower ratings
(product:rate-lower, not below its files'). Every change is kept in the product's info history, with who and why,
and can be undone by the same rules.
Products can be unlisted (out of search and lists, the link still works) and tagged; lists filter by tag and
catalog. The console has a Products section (everyone's for moderators, by status) and a drafts to-do.
A product's own category is left for later: the hub has no list of IMVU's categories to pick from.

A creator deletes a product: it's no longer listed and nobody new can get it, while people who have it
keep it (its page, files and library entries stay, and rooms keep showing it), as old revisions stay
available. Moderation removes one everywhere, with a reason: its page and files answer 410, and it
leaves libraries and rooms. Both are on the product's page and in the audit log.

The header shows T5DE's logo (the client's, also the tab icon) and Online, Rooms, Products and
Catalogs; the person's pages (Account, Library, Console for moderators) and signing out are in a menu
under their picture: their first linked IMVU account's avatar picture, which /me now gives (kept an
hour), or their initial. Creating a product moves to Products (New product, /products/new; /create
redirects there), as creating a room is on Rooms.

Revisions with an IMVU parent store its public info (image, category path, gender)
from IMVU's product API, looked up after registering and in a periodic pass.
Product views gain parent, image and categories; GET /products takes category and
limit. The website shows the image on cards and product pages.

The hub registers catalogs (hidden until a moderator approves them), hands out upload tokens, and records the
revisions catalogs register after validating uploads: numbered, never changed, signed by the hub (its own
Ed25519 key, published at /.well-known/t5de-keys.json). Creators edit product info (descriptions cleaned by an
allowlist) and can retract revisions. People get products into their library, optionally staying on a
revision; the proxy asks which revision to load and where. Contract in docs/products.md.
