Never put App keys in browser code. owner_ref is metadata, not user authorization. Only status=ready permits delivery. Poll asynchronous jobs; unknown_outcome needs reconciliation, not a new paid submission. Public and private are deliberate choices. Existing PictShare URLs remain a separate legacy service.
