Why the qualifiers? Automated conformance tests can verify discovery, framing, pairing state, validation, failure handling, and UI gating without a physical television. They cannot prove that every firmware build responds to every command. Beam therefore confirms capabilities at runtime and asks for explicit device-response confirmation for infrared profiles.
