Separate Enterprise Edition features from Community Edition code during builds by applying build-time flags, enforcing *.ee.ts file naming conventions, and compiling minimal ee-stubs for CE deployments to prevent EE feature leakage.

Build-time license separation for enterprise and community editions is an architectural pattern that isolates EE functionality from CE code using build-time switching and stubbed CE implementations to ensure compliant distribution.

Stub CE APIs to prevent exposing enterprise features in community deployments by creating a minimal ee-stub and swapping in real EE implementations at build time through feature gating and strict file naming conventions.

Yes, this feature toggle approach supports gating UI and APIs for EE feature availability by validating license separation scenarios and swapping implementations at build time to ensure safe CE builds and full EE builds.

You need build-time flags for enterprise and community edition separation when you must enforce license separation, validate EE feature availability, and ensure compliant distribution across different deployment targets.

Limitations of using build-time flags for license separation include the strict requirement to adhere to *.ee.ts file naming conventions and the necessity to maintain a minimal ee-stub for CE to ensure traceability and prevent leakage.
