+**Marketing screenshots never required an API key.**
+**The free deck editor is now impossible to overlook.**
+
+A release run told the user that marketing-grade screenshots need an image backend and an API key. False: the app-store-screenshots deck editor skill produces designed, benefit-headlined screenshots at every required iPhone size, fully locally, with a headlessly automatable export — no key, no cost. The store-assets options now lead with it, and the adapter explicitly forbids claiming screenshots need an API key while that skill is installed. The AI-enhanced ASO pipeline remains the one option that genuinely needs a key.

+- `references/APPLE-RELEASE.md` (ship tree): store-assets options reordered and clarified — free local deck editor (marketing-grade, no key, automatable export) first, plain frameit second, AI-enhanced ASO pipeline explicitly the only key-requiring option.

 Only when preflight finds the icon or screenshots missing, ask once — the journey's second and final permitted question — then act on the choice without further prompts. Once per app, EVER: before asking, check the decision store (\`bin/gstack-decision-search --scope repo --query "store assets"\`); a settled choice (including "defer screenshots" or "TestFlight only") is applied silently, never re-asked. After the user answers, persist it (\`bin/gstack-decision-log\` with scope \`repo\`) so no future run asks again; the user changes it by saying so, not by being re-prompted. Offer:
 
 - **App icon**: SnapAI (\`npx snapai\`, the app-icon agent skill) generates the single 1024×1024 with the user's own image-generation key; Xcode 15+ derives every size from that one image.
-- **Screenshots, free and local**: capture the built app in the simulator and frame with fastlane \`frameit\`.
-- **Marketing-grade screenshots**: the aso-appstore-screenshots agent skill (benefit headlines, breakout panels, exact App Store dimensions, user's own Gemini key) or the app-store-screenshots deck editor; when installed, follow their workflows rather than reimplementing them.
+- **Marketing screenshots, free and local, no API key**: the app-store-screenshots deck editor skill — scaffold it, prefill its deck JSON with simulator captures and benefit headlines, and export one bundle covering every required iPhone size (the export is headlessly automatable). Marketing-grade does NOT require an image backend; never claim screenshots need an API key while this skill is installed.
+- **Plain frames, free and local**: capture the built app in the simulator and frame with fastlane \`frameit\` — the minimal option when no designed deck is wanted.
+- **AI-enhanced marketing screenshots**: the aso-appstore-screenshots agent skill (benefit headlines, breakout panels, exact App Store dimensions) — the only option that needs the user's own image-generation key; when installed, follow its workflow rather than reimplementing it.
 - **User-supplied files**: always a valid answer; validate dimensions and move on.
