// BrightScript cannot be run, linted or type-checked here — the only interpreter is a player. So a
// call to an object that does not exist looks exactly like a call to one that does, right up until
// a display in the field stops working.
//
// That is not hypothetical. `brightsign/*.brs` shipped with a whole family of ROKU APIs in it —
// roFileSystem, roMessageDigest, PostFromStringWithRetry — because BrightScript is Roku's language
// and the two references read almost identically. Each one silently disabled a feature: the
// self-update path could never mark a package applied, verification returned false unconditionally
// and burned an attempt counter, and a snapshot request raised "Member function not found" from
// inside the event loop, taking the player down. None of it was visible from here.
//
// This is the cheapest thing that would have caught all of it: a deny-list of APIs that exist on
// Roku and not on BrightSign, plus the argument-shape mistakes that made calls compile and then do
// nothing. It cannot prove the scripts are right. It does stop these specific, expensive mistakes
// coming back — and every entry below was paid for once already.
