-| Hot | Yes | Yes | World App opens, displays a proof consent, and the user approves. Typically under 10 seconds. |
-| Warm | Yes | No | World App opens and walks the user through credential enrollment (e.g., PoH, or NFC). Once issued, a proof consent appears and the user approves. Note: Selfie check does not have a distinct warm flow - the "Hot Flow" is used for all "app installed" cases. |
-| Cold | No | No | The user must install World App first. The experience differs by platform — see below. |
+| Hot | Yes | — | World App opens, displays a proof consent, and the user approves. Typically under 10 seconds. If the user does not yet hold the requested [credential](/world-id/idkit/credentials), World App walks them through enrollment first — your integration sees no difference. |

-The cold flow requires the most steps and works differently on each platform because of how each platform handles **deferred deep linking** — the ability to preserve a link's context through an app store install so the app can act on it at first launch.

 ### Android
 
-Android supports deferred deep linking through the Play Store. After the user downloads World App, the original verification context is carried forward at first launch — World App picks up where the user left off and routes them directly into credential enrollment.

 Invite-code mode displays a short 6-character code in your app that the user enters into World App. World App treats the code as an entry point to the in-app onboarding flows the user needs to complete in order to satisfy your IDKit request, then returns the proof.

 1. Your app triggers an IDKit invite-code request.
 2. Your app opens the URL that IDKit provides. One of three paths follows:
    - **User has World App (mobile):** World App launches directly via deep link.
    - **User has World App (desktop):** The user scans the QR code with World App.
-   - **User needs to install World App:** The user installs World App, completes account onboarding, then enters the invite code to resume the request.
+   - **User needs to install World App:** The user installs World App, completes account onboarding or logs in, then enters the invite code to resume the request.
 3. World App restores the verification context, walks the user through credential enrollment if needed, and presents a proof consent.
 4. The user approves and the proof is returned to your app.
 
 The 6-character code persists across the App Store install, so once World App is installed and onboarded the user can resume the verification flow without returning to your app first. This also covers cross-device scenarios (e.g., a desktop browser displaying the QR for the user's phone) where deep linking cannot carry context.

-##### Lifecycle
+**Lifecycle**
 
 - Codes expire after a short TTL (currently fifteen minutes).
 - Codes are one-shot — once redeemed, they cannot be reused. Re-running the request returns a fresh code with a fresh TTL.
 - After the user redeems the code, your existing poll loop receives the proof exactly as it does in QR mode.
 
-##### Integrate
-
-The setup steps that precede the request — creating an app in the Developer Portal and generating an RP signature on your backend — are identical to the [standard integration](/world-id/idkit/integrate). Only the request call and the rendered UI change.

-
-The config object is the same one you pass to `IDKit.request(...)` — invite-code mode introduces no new required fields.
-
-Set `allow_legacy_proofs: true` because `selfieCheckLegacy` is a v3 ("legacy") preset; the flag lets World App accept v3 proofs to satisfy the request. When invite-code mode adds support for v4 presets, set it to `false` for those flows.
-
-Polling and proof verification are unchanged from QR mode: the same `Status` values are emitted and the same `IDKitCompletionResult` is returned. Forward the result payload as-is to `POST https://developer.world.org/api/v4/verify/{rp_id}` — see [Verify the proof in your backend](/world-id/idkit/integrate#step-5-verify-the-proof-in-your-backend).
