+## What does this PR do?
+
+<!-- A clear description of the change and the motivation behind it.
+     Link related issues: "Fixes #123" / "Part of #123". -->
+
+**Package(s) touched:** <!-- e.g. sqflite_tvos, path_provider_tvos -->
+
+## How was it tested?
+
+<!-- tvOS behaviour frequently differs between the simulator and real hardware:
+     the simulator's sandbox is more permissive, and it renders on the host Mac
+     GPU. A change that works in the simulator can still fail on an Apple TV.
+     Say which you used, and give versions/model where relevant. -->
+
+- [ ] Ran the package's `example/` app
+- [ ] Verified on tvOS **simulator** (version: ___)
+- [ ] Verified on a **physical Apple TV** (model / tvOS version: ___)
+- [ ] `dart analyze` is clean for the package
+
+## Versioning & changelog
+
+<!-- Every package here is published to pub.dev under the fluttertv.dev
+     publisher and versioned independently. A user-visible change that doesn't
+     bump the version cannot reach anyone. -->
+
+- [ ] Bumped `version:` in the package's `pubspec.yaml` (or: no user-visible change — explain below)
+- [ ] Added a matching entry at the top of the package's `CHANGELOG.md`, under a heading identical to the new version
+- [ ] The entry calls out any **behaviour change** — a changed default path, a changed return value, anything that silently alters what an existing app sees
+- [ ] Version choice follows semver for `0.x`: bug fix → patch (`0.0.1` → `0.0.2`); new API or breaking change → minor (`0.0.x` → `0.1.0`)
+
+## Checklist
+
+- [ ] Only the intended package's files are touched (this is a monorepo — unrelated packages should not appear in the diff)
+- [ ] No secrets, absolute local paths, or `TODO`/debug leftovers in the diff
+- [ ] If the change reflects a tvOS platform constraint (sandbox, focus engine, missing framework), the package `README.md` "Limitations / differs from iOS" section is updated to match
+- [ ] If the same constraint affects sibling packages, they're noted below rather than fixed here
+
+## Notes for reviewers
+
+<!-- Trade-offs, follow-ups, anything you're unsure about, or sibling packages
+     that likely need the same treatment. -->

+<sub>Maintainers: publishing to pub.dev is irreversible — a version number can never be reused. Run `dart pub publish --dry-run` and check the package's current `latest` on pub.dev before publishing.</sub>
