Who controls it: the row for the lever on a visible mark

Who controls it is the row on each generator page recording the lever that changes a visible mark. Most cells name a paid tier, one of them a switch the paid member flips per render. Two name a flag the caller sets, and one records that the vendor documents no removal at all. From 10 source pages, read 2026-09-12 to 2026-10-13; no maker pays to be listed.

What moves a visible mark on the way outThe row records the lever a vendor describes, not whether any obligation is met. Across the generator pages that lever is a paid tier, a flag the caller sets, or nothing published at all, and the three are not interchangeable.What the vendor says changes the markA paid tierBilling decidesRemoval appears as a benefitof a plan, phrased for apricing table.A request flagThe caller decidesA boolean in the request,off unless set.Nothing publishedNo removal on fileThe pages describe no way totake off what is applied.The lever, not the duty

Inclusion rule. Generators whose own pages address removal of a visible mark at all, including the one whose pages address it only to document that nothing is offered. Generators whose pages describe a mark and say nothing about taking it off carry no row here. Order. Alphabetical by generator name.

1The row asks what moves the mark, not whether one exists

A separate row on each generator page records what the vendor says is applied to output. This one records the lever that changes it: a tier, a setting, or nothing published. The distinction matters because the two facts usually come from different places on a vendor site, and often from pages written by different teams for different readers.

Most cells here name a tier. Removal turns up as a benefit of a paid plan, phrased in the language of a pricing table rather than of a compliance document, which is a standing reminder of what these sentences were written to do.

2One tier is exercised per render

One cell names a paid membership whose benefit is a switch rather than a state: the paid member turns the badge off for renders made afterwards, from beside the model selector. The same vendor's terms add that the invisible layer under the badge is never removed.

Whether a switch is easier or harder to account for than a paid tier is not a question this record answers. Both are facts about a product. What either one means for a duty depends on the paragraph in play and on who is publishing the result.

3Two cells put the lever in the request instead

Two generators reached through an interface rather than through a browser record something neither a tier nor a setting: a parameter carried by each individual call, documented as optional and as defaulting to off. Nothing is applied unless the request asks for it, so the state of a file is decided by the code that produced it and not by the account that paid for it.

That shifts where an answer has to be looked for later. A tier can be read off an invoice and a setting off an account; a per-call flag can only be read off whatever the integration logged at the time, and neither vendor undertakes to remember. Both cells are recorded from reference documentation rather than from a plan table, which is why the wording names a default rather than a price.

4No removal documented is an entry, not a blank

One cell records that a vendor's pages describe no way to take off what is applied. That is written out rather than left empty, because an empty cell and a documented absence look identical in a table and mean opposite things to anyone relying on one.

The same discipline runs through the rest of the record. Where a vendor's pages say nothing on a point, the entry records silence rather than absence: a mark may well exist and be undocumented, and an undocumented mark is no help to anyone trying to show what a delivered file carries.

5What a lever does not tell you

Knowing that a paid tier removes a visible mark says nothing about what stays in the file afterwards. A mark a viewer can see and a signal software can detect answer different paragraphs of the article, and a plan that removes the first has not necessarily touched the second.

The record keeps those in separate columns for that reason, and this row belongs to the visible one. Every cell carries the address it was read from and the date of that reading, so a page that has since been rewritten can be held against what it said.
