What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

The applicant must hold a long-stay visa. The certificate is valid 1 year, renewable and allows work; renewal is requested 2 to 4 months before expiry. The official source does not state a route to independent or longer-term status.
