Feature Catalog
Complete reference of every FlowFuse feature and the plans it is included in. Rows marked "Not on pricing" are deliberately kept off the public pricing page; they are in the catalog so their changelog and docs links resolve. A row showing "TBD" in the plan columns has no settled availability yet, so it publishes no badge anywhere.
This table and the pricing page both read feature-catalog.yml, as do the availability badges on changelog posts, docs pages and release blogs.
