enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 0d004c4680 fix(host/handshake): the 4:4:4 gate names the encoder backend, not the capturer
capture_supports_444 was an encoder-backend fact (direct NVENC or PyroWave)
logged under a capture-ish name — a field report burned real time hunting a
capture problem because of it. The 'encode chroma' line now says
ingest_chain_supports_444, a requested-but-declined session logs WHICH gate
lost, and the console UI's Full chroma explainer names the real requirement.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 9f72a3b6ad feat(host): HDR and 4:4:4 stop being mutually exclusive on Windows
An HDR display cost you full chroma: the IDD-push capturer's only 10-bit
output was P010, so a session that negotiated 4:4:4 on an HDR desktop was
converted to 4:2:0 at capture time — *after* the Welcome had already told
the client 4:4:4. The client believed it (nothing on the wire contradicts
a Welcome), and the new chroma tag in the stats overlay is what finally
made the discrepancy visible.

Everything except the source was already in place, which is why this is
small: the NVENC config layer has stamped `FREXT` + `chromaFormatIDC=3` +
`pixelBitDepthMinus8=2` — HEVC Main 4:4:4 10 — with a unit test since the
4:4:4 work landed, `PixelFormat::Rgb10a2` already maps to `ABGR10` and
already counts as a full-chroma input, and the desktop client learned the
10-bit 4:4:4 Vulkan pool format in 74863c96. The one missing piece was a
capture format that keeps 10 bits AND full chroma.

`HdrRgb10Converter` is that piece: one full-res pass from the FP16 scRGB
desktop to packed `R10G10B10A2` in BT.2020 PQ, reusing the P010 shader's
`scrgb_to_pq2020` verbatim so both HDR outputs share bit-identical colour
math — it simply stops before the RGB→YUV matrix, the studio-range
squeeze and the chroma decimation. NVENC then does the CSC to YUV 4:4:4
itself under FREXT, exactly as the SDR BGRA passthrough has always done
at 8 bits.

No swizzle is involved and that is worth stating, because it looks like
it should be: NVENC names packed formats from the MSB down, so its
`ABGR10` (A2B10G10R10) puts R in the low 10 bits — bit-identical to DXGI
`R10G10B10A2_UNORM`. It is the same relationship the proven SDR pair
relies on between DXGI `B8G8R8A8` and NVENC's `ARGB`.

The honesty gap closes as a consequence: `capturer_supports_444` no
longer has a depth it cannot serve, so the chroma resolved before the
Welcome is the chroma the wire carries. AV1 is deliberately untouched —
Range Extensions are HEVC-only and no consumer encoder does AV1 4:4:4.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 440cb8d1ec feat(core/wire): streamed AUs cut blocks at slice boundaries, not at 5.5 MB
The streamed-AU path only ever flushed a block when a full FEC block's
worth of bytes accumulated - at real bitrates a frame finished encoding
before that, so every AU degenerated to one tail-heavy send and the
overlap the sentinel wire was built for never happened.

Now a slice boundary flushes every whole shard (floored at
MIN_STREAM_BLOCK_SHARDS so per-block parity stays economical), which
means blocks are variable-size and can no longer be addressed by the
uniform block_index * K_max formula. USER_FLAG_SLICE_STREAM marks such
frames on every packet: sentinel blocks reuse frame_bytes as their
shard-aligned base offset, the final block's base derives from the
totals, and the receiver pins/validates positionally (sentinels must sit
strictly below the final block's base; a mixed-flag or out-of-range
header is dropped before it can place a byte).

The AU's own flag bit gates the wire shape, and the host sets it only
toward clients advertising STREAMED_AU + MULTI_SLICE, so shipped
receivers keep seeing the byte-identical legacy sentinel
(PUNKTFUNK_SLICE_STREAM=0 pins legacy for A/B). Both sides bound the
per-frame block count by the same floored formula, and the flush loop
cuts as many blocks as a chunk completes - a slice bigger than one FEC
block can't leave an oversized final block behind.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 759aac255b feat(phase-lock): controller v3 — grid-locked submits, arrival sensing, antipode damping
Midday on-glass falsified v2's remaining assumptions: a per-frame additive
hold SATURATES the arrival-slaved loop once hold + work >= interval — submits
free-run at their own cadence and the commanded phase dissolves (measured:
+-2 ms hold steps, zero client response) — and the latch statistic hovers at
the target's ANTIPODE, where shortest-way errors sign-flip on noise (the
0<->2<->4 ms offset chatter).

v3, one change per falsified assumption:
- ACTUATOR: submits lock to an absolute grid (epoch + k x period + offset);
  the controller walks only the offset. A periodic grid cannot free-run —
  occupancy is one frame per period whatever the offset — so phase actuation
  is linear BY CONSTRUCTION. Disengaged = no grid sleeps = zero cost; every
  failure path DISENGAGES (never parks: v2's e2e-tax lesson).
- SENSOR: the client reports the circular mean + coherence of the ARRIVAL
  lead (per-AU reassembly stamps vs the panel latch grid) — the phase the
  host actually controls; latch measured downstream of the decoder pipeline,
  which absorbed the actuation. pf.phase logs "arrival lead circ= coh=".
- ANTIPODE DAMPING: errors within 1 ms of +-period/2 take half-steps until
  they commit to a side.

Harness rewritten around plants glass validated: a GRID plant (linear by
construction), the DECOUPLED plant (v2's saturation — must disengage, not
orbit or park), an antipode start (must converge within one period of
travel), incoherence (never engages), a regime change (re-engages after
backoff), and the actuator's own periodicity/offset-linearity. Also fixes
the harness's SIM_TARGET (a mis-derived max asserted 3.5 ms where the
controller's actual target is 2.5 — the controller was right, the ruler
was wrong; the Python cross-check inherited the same constant, a lesson in
replicating the CODE, not the author's belief about it).

Gates: v3 simulations 6/6; host bin suite 345/1 (the documented
environmental qemu UDP test); clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean;

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 4457356ee4 test(phase-lock): a closed-loop simulation harness — both on-glass failures become CI regressions
The controller iterated twice on the user's gaming PC before this existed;
never again. punktfunk_core::phase::circular_latch is extracted from the
Android presenter (shared: iOS reports next, and the harness generates its
synthetic reports through the IDENTICAL statistic the clients ship), with
unit tests including the wrap-straddling cluster an arithmetic mean gets
maximally wrong.

The stream.rs harness models the plant — latch = (base − hold + noise)
mod P, deterministic LCG noise — and drives PhaseController::adjust through
five regimes:
- tight jitter locks into the deadband within ~5 adjusts and stops moving;
- a wrap-side start takes the SHORTEST way (travel < P/2 asserted);
- an incoherent phase never steps (zero hold, ever);
- a v1 pinned-median report trips the travel budget and DECAYS TO ZERO —
  the 2026-07-31 orbit and the parked-hold e2e tax, both as asserts;
- a post-decay regime tightening re-locks.

Gates: host bin suite 344 passed / 1 failed = the documented environmental
qemu UDP-loopback test (clean main fails identically in this container);
core phase tests 4/4; clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 1d31e4c565 feat(phase-lock): controller v2 — circular phase, coherence gate, decay-to-zero
Round-1 on-glass falsified two v1 assumptions in one morning (NP3 ↔ .173):

- A median lead is immovable under period-spanning jitter (uniform mod P),
  so v1 orbited the period at 2 ms/s forever — and the dead-signal freeze
  hotfix never armed, because ±1.5 ms of window sampling noise kept
  resetting its 'error responded' check. Thresholds can't referee noise.
- A HELD hold is not free: it delays sampling after the capture stamp,
  taxing e2e by up to a period (user-measured: ~+4 ms during the orbit).
  The correct failure response is DECAY TO ZERO, never freeze-in-place.

v2, all three layers:
- Wire: PhaseReport grows a length-discriminated coherence tail (27-byte
  form; the u16::MAX sentinel encodes as the byte-identical 25-byte v1 —
  strict-prefix discipline, both forms pinned by tests).
- Client: the reporter sends the CIRCULAR vector-mean latch phase mod the
  panel period + its coherence (‰); pf.present logs circ=/coh=.
- Host: steps only while coherent (floor 300‰; a v1 report bypasses the
  gate), along the signed SHORTEST way around the period, under a
  cumulative 1.25-period travel budget that is noise-immune by construction
  (it integrates applied steps, not reported errors); incoherence or budget
  exhaustion decays the hold to zero and re-arms once flat. Deadband
  convergence resets the budget — tight regimes lock exactly as designed.

report_phase + the C ABI mirror gain the coherence parameter (canary-only
ABI, hours old, sole caller in-tree). Gates: docker amd64 clippy
--all-targets -D warnings (host+core, nvenc) clean; core suite 244/244;

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 74ca42568a fix(host/phase-lock): a dead error signal freezes the hold instead of orbiting the period
First on-glass closed-loop run (NP3 ↔ .173, canary 0.23.10498) proved the
transport and both endpoints work — and exposed the controller chasing a
statistic that cannot respond: under period-spanning arrival jitter the
client's latch DISTRIBUTION is ~uniform mod the refresh, so shifting its
mean (the hold — provably reaching the client: the paced-drop bursts locked
to each wrap) cannot move its MEDIAN. The controller stepped +2 ms/s in one
direction forever, wrapping the period every ~4 s, and every wrap coalesced
~30 frames at the client — a periodic hiccup that must not ship.

The controller now remembers its last error: three consecutive steps that
fail to move it ≥1.5 ms freeze the hold (kept, not zeroed) and log; a later
report whose error moved re-arms stepping — a tight-jitter regime still
locks exactly as designed. Controller v2 (a circular phase statistic with a
coherence gate, per the design doc's follow-ups) replaces the median
outright; this freeze stays as its safety net.

Gate: docker amd64 clippy --all-targets -D warnings (host, nvenc) clean.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 fa822744ff feat(core/host/android): phase-locked capture — frames arrive on the client's latch schedule
The host's capture tick and a client's panel vsync are independent ~120 Hz
oscillators; their drifting phase sweeps every frame's wait-for-latch across
a full refresh period (measured on-glass: latch p50 oscillating 5.4-8.9 ms
with a fixed margin) — the beat is the residual judder and the fat p95, and
no client can fix it alone. Design: punktfunk-planning
design/phase-locked-capture.md.

Protocol (punktfunk-core):
- PhaseReport (control 0x32, next to the clock family): the client's next
  display latch ALREADY CONVERTED to host clock (the skew offset lives only
  client-side), panel period, uncertainty, and the measured median
  arrival-lead — the controller's error signal. ~1 Hz, latest-wins.
  CLIENT_CAP_PHASE_LOCK advertises it; CtrlRequest::Phase + report_phase()
  + the C ABI mirror carry it.
- The 0xCF host-timing tail grows a phase ACK (applied_phase_ns, 29-byte
  form) under the same strict-prefix append discipline — old readers parse
  the shorter forms; degradation pinned by tests.

Host engine (arrival-slaved loop — no backend can move the source vsync,
per the tick-ownership audit in the design doc):
- PhaseCtl bridges control task → encode loop (the fec_target pattern,
  multi-field). PhaseController walks a per-frame HOLD before submit toward
  the client's reported lead hitting target = max(2.5 ms, uncertainty+1ms):
  1 Hz adjust, 2 ms max step, 300 µs deadband, period-wrapping (the
  newest-wins capture slot makes a wrapped hold sample fresher content, not
  staler). A loop local, so every mid-stream rebuild keeps the lock; a new
  session re-acquires. PUNKTFUNK_PHASE_LOCK=0 disarms.

Android reporter: the presenter's 1 Hz pf.present flush returns the
window's measured latch p50; the async loop converts the vsync clock's next
timeline monotonic→realtime→host and reports. Inert toward old hosts.

Gates: docker amd64 clippy --all-targets -D warnings (host+core, nvenc)
clean; core suite incl. the new wire tests; cargo ndk arm64 check/clippy
clean. On-glass A/B vs the .173 host owed.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 f87c1e6cec fix(encode): gate multi-slice frames on the client's decoder — the 0.17.0 Chromecast crash
Field report: since 0.17.0 a stream to a Chromecast with Google TV 4K
freezes on the first frame and ~80% of the time crashes + reboots the
DEVICE — with both the Punktfunk app and Moonlight, while an Xbox
Series S is fine. Root cause: LN1 Phase 3 (67b79810) defaulted Linux
direct-NVENC to 4 slices per frame for EVERY session. Amlogic HEVC
decoders wedge on multi-slice AUs — exactly why moonlight-android
requests slicesPerFrame=1 for every hardware decoder (4 only for
software slice-threading) — and our RTSP parser never read the request.
The Phase-3 commit recorded the untested leg ("a live Moonlight re-test
joins the standing owed Moonlight item"); this report is that re-test.

The slicing ceiling now belongs to the CLIENT, threaded as open_video's
new max_slices from both planes:
- GameStream: parse x-nv-video[0].videoEncoderSlicesPerFrame into
  StreamConfig and honor it; absent/out-of-range (pre-auth input) => 1.
- punktfunk/1: new Hello cap VIDEO_CAP_MULTI_SLICE (0x80 — the byte's
  LAST free bit; the next cap needs a second byte + ABI bump).
  SessionPlan.max_slices = 32 with the bit, 1 without, applied to every
  encoder the plan opens so rebuilds can't change the wire shape. The
  desktop session client advertises it (FFmpeg/D3D11VA/Vulkan decode
  stacks are fine); Android/Apple stay off until they can decide
  per-decoder like Moonlight does — the cap is embedder-set decoder
  truth, never OR'd in by the shared pump.
- Linux direct-NVENC clamps its Phase-3 default to the ceiling
  (resolve_slices(codec, 4.min(max_slices))) and logs slices/max_slices
  in the caps-probe line; PUNKTFUNK_NVENC_SLICES stays the explicit
  operator override in both directions. Windows keeps its single-slice
  default untouched.

Also repairs the nvenc_cuda #[ignore] hardware tests: d2c46eaf added
open()'s cursor_blend param without updating them, invisible because CI
never compiles tests with the nvenc feature.

Verified on .21 (RTX 5070 Ti): pf-encode + host check/clippy clean with
nvenc; host unit suite 263/0; rtsp announce tests 7/7 incl. the new
slicesPerFrame coverage; on-hardware smokes — default e2e still 4
chunks/frame, NEW single-slice client-ceiling test clamps + disarms
chunked poll with no env involved, env escape unchanged. rustfmt clean.
Windows leg (prepare_display param) is CI-only.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 1f59498c5c fix(host/linux): a no-channel session composites the metadata cursor — Mutter never embeds on a virtual stream
The capture-latched client (console.rs latched_mouse) never advertises
CLIENT_CAP_CURSOR, so its session resolved cursor_blend=false and asked
Mutter to EMBED the pointer. On a Mutter virtual stream that is a
fiction: since Mutter 48 (7ff5334a, hw-cursor inhibition removed) the
software cursor overlay is suppressed stage-globally whenever any
physical head realizes a HW cursor — dmabuf-recorded frames blit the
view without a pointer, and cursor-only motion schedules no re-record
either (mutter#4939). Probed on-glass on Mutter 50.3: embedded +
relative motion = frozen frame counter; SPA_META_Cursor positions kept
flowing in the same setup.

So the no-channel session now takes the path that was verified end to
end: cursor-as-metadata + the host composites, permanently — the same
arm a channel session lands in after its capture-model flip. Embedded
remains only the can't-blend fallback (libav VAAPI/NVENC, software).

- session_plan::cursor_blend_for grows the no-channel arm (codec +
  depth in, the same CUDA-payload prediction handshake makes);
  gamescope excluded so patch-2+ keeps its native-NV12 zero-copy shape
- the encode loop's composite refresh + one-shot breadcrumbs now cover
  the no-channel session; the park schedule keeps retrying while its
  composite is starved (relative-only clients cannot park themselves)
- the compositor retarget re-applies set_hw_cursor — the rebuilt
  display used to come up EMBEDDED even for channel sessions
- the GameStream virtual source takes the same rule (it never has a
  channel); its stream_body blend flag mirrors the request
- punktfunk-probe grows --cursor-nochannel (the latched-capture client,
  headless); cursor-probe grows --dump (PPM frames + a content-change
  counter, the pixel evidence the embedded A/B lacked)

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 9b2404a580 feat(core): every connect introduces the device by name
The wire always had Hello.name and the host always honored it - but the
connect path hardcoded None (only the PIN-pairing ceremony sent a name),
so every no-PIN "request access" knock surfaced as the fingerprint
placeholder "device abcd1234", and approving one without retyping a
name persisted that placeholder into the trust store forever.

NativeClient::connect now takes the device name. The session workers
and the probe connects pass trust::device_name() (the hostname), the C
ABI defaults to the same without a signature change (an ex10 variant
can make it explicit if an embedder wants a custom label), and Android
threads Build.MODEL through nativeConnect - the same convention its
pairing dialogs already use for nativePair.

The host, in turn, resolves the streaming client's display name (trust
store first, so an approval-time rename wins; else the sanitized Hello
name) and exposes it as client_name in GET /api/v1/local/summary for
the tray's connect toast - a deliberate, documented loosening of that
route's "no device names" contract, in the local user's favor: it tells
them who is on their machine. A paired-but-idle device's name still
never appears, which the mgmt tests now pin explicitly. openapi.json,
its docs-site copy, and the SDK bindings regenerate.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 751fbd6c47 fix(host/linux): park the seat pointer on the streamed surface — a capture-mode client cannot
ROOT CAUSE of the GNOME capture-mode cursorless stream (and the same
latent hole on KWin, whose screencast also gates cursor data on
includesCursor): a virtual output is created fresh per session while the
seat pointer stays wherever it was — usually a physical monitor. A
capture-model (pointer-lock) client sends only RELATIVE deltas, so
nothing ever moves the pointer INTO the streamed output: input lands on
the wrong monitor, Mutter suppresses SPA_META_Cursor entirely
(should_cursor_metadata_be_set: visible AND in-stream), and both the
embedded and the encoder-blend composite models stream cursorless.

The stream loop now parks the pointer at the streamed surface's centre
through the session's own input pipeline (capability routing, region
ladder, anchor — the path client events take): armed per (re)built
display and by the capture-model flip, retried on a schedule because the
first park of a session can land on a still-cold EIS connection (devices
not resumed — the injector drops it; observed on-glass), and kept trying
while a capture-model session still has no live overlay. A desktop-model
client overrides the park with its first absolute move.

Verified end-to-end on GNOME 50.3/Mutter (RTX 5070 Ti): the reference
client in capture mode now shows the host-composited cursor moving in
the decoded H.265 dump, and the PyroWave session hands the overlay to
the wavelet CSC blend. One-shot per-session/per-stream breadcrumbs
(first meta region, first bitmap, first overlay handed to the blend /
still-cursorless) make the next field triage a grep instead of a rebuild.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 9243a770bc fix(host/encode): an Automatic bitrate follows the pixels actually encoded
`build_pipeline` opens the encoder at the DELIVERED frame size but was handed a
bitrate resolved from the NEGOTIATED mode. Those agree for a virtual display,
which is created at the mode that was asked for. They do not agree for a monitor
mirror: `MirrorDisplay::create` ignores the requested mode by design (a physical
head runs at the mode its owner set), so a client asking for 1080p and mirroring a
4K panel encoded four times the pixels at the 1080p rate — a quarter of the bits
per pixel the codec was sized for, which arrives as a soft, stuttering picture
rather than as the mismatch it actually is. This is the reported "laggy mirror".

Re-resolve for what will really be encoded, and thread the applied rate back out
so the session adopts it: `bitrate_kbps` is what the ABR controller climbs from,
what the console samples, and what a `SetBitrate` ack is measured against, so
letting it disagree with the live encoder makes each of those reason about a
stream that does not exist. The mid-stream rebuild paths (mode switch, compositor
switch, capture-loss) adopt it too — each can land on a different source than it
left.

Automatic only. An explicit client rate is the operator's statement about their
own link and is never second-guessed.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 33a31427ae fix(vdisplay): locks held across seconds-long work, an AB/BA inversion, and a panic that poisons the manager
Phase 7's contained half. 7.1's writer split and 7.3's reservation are NOT here — see
the plan; both need more than a local edit.

**Lock-order inversion, gamescope.** `create_managed_session_steamos` held
MANAGED_SESSION while taking STEAMOS_TOOK_OVER (and `persist_takeover`'s locks), while
`do_restore_tv_session` takes STEAMOS_TOOK_OVER first and MANAGED_SESSION second —
AB/BA between a connect and the restore worker, which genuinely run concurrently
(`vd.create` runs off the registry lock; the worker is its own thread). The connect
path now drops its guard before the pair and re-acquires after `poll_managed_node`, the
shape `create_managed_session` already used. And `takeover_live` held all four statics
at once — in a `||` chain every `.lock()` temporary lives to the end of the statement —
for four reads; scoped bindings drop each guard before the next, taking it out of the
ordering graph entirely.

**`observe_session_instance` decided and acted under one lock.** It held LAST_INSTANCE
across `invalidate_backend` (which drops keep-alive displays through the registry lock)
and a `systemctl` shell-out on a 10 s budget, from three call sites including a
per-second watcher. It decides under the lock and acts outside now; the baseline is
advanced inside it, so a concurrent observer cannot run the action twice.

**`admit` held the live-session table across the budget checks** — `manager::snapshot()`
blocks on the manager `state` lock, which is itself held across DDC round trips and
three 3 s activation ladders. Every connect, disconnect and mgmt read queued behind one
slow display operation. The guard is scoped to `decide` alone.

**GameStream never registered**, so its display was invisible to both Windows budgets
(they gate on `!live.is_empty()`) and a native connect could be admitted past capacity
the box had already spent. It registers now, anonymously, for the session's lifetime.

**`ensure_exclusive_watch` panicked on a failed thread spawn** while holding BOTH
`exclusive_watch` and (via its caller) `state` — poisoning the two locks the whole
manager runs on, so every later acquire and mgmt read would panic on `.lock().unwrap()`.
It logs and degrades instead: no re-assert watchdog is a degradation, a wedged manager
is not.

Also fixes two things only a Windows build shows, both mine: Phase 2.3 left
`gamescope_route` unused there (every reader is Linux-gated), which `-D warnings` in
Windows CI would have rejected — I had only run the host clippy on Linux. And Phase
5.4's helper-safening reaches a FOURTH crate, pf-inject, which xcheck does not lint.

Verified on .173: `cargo clippy -p punktfunk-host -p pf-vdisplay --all-targets` clean
across the whole tree; local fmt, both xcheck targets and 53 tests green.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 8b076f5cc9 fix(vdisplay): the gamescope sub-mode is a per-session value, not a process-global env write
Completes what the env-lock fix started. `apply_input_env` published its decision into
PUNKTFUNK_GAMESCOPE_NODE/_SESSION and `GamescopeDisplay::create` read it back out —
with the lock released in between, and with the GameStream plane, the mid-stream
switch watcher and the capture-loss rebuild all re-running the writer. So session B's
routing decision could retarget session A's `create`: A asks for a bare spawn, B
connects, A attaches to B's session instead.

The decision now travels as a `GamescopeRoute` return value and is carried on the
backend INSTANCE via `set_gamescope_route` — the discipline `set_launch_command`
already documents two lines above it ("Carried on the backend instance — NOT a
process-global env var — so concurrent sessions can't stomp each other's launch
target"). Nothing writes the two keys any more; they are read once, as operator
overrides, and `create`/`poolable_now`/`launch_is_nested` all answer from the
session's own route.

The route carries its payload rather than just the verdict, so the managed session
flavour and the attach node id stop being separate env reads too.

Threaded through both planes: handshake -> SessionContext -> `vd`, and the GameStream
`open_source` -> `run`. Three re-resolution points needed the same treatment and each
would have silently downgraded a session to a bare spawn without it — the switch
watcher's rebuilt backend, the capture-loss rebuild (which can swap the whole
instance), and the operator-pinned path, which deliberately skips the input-backend
write but still needs a route. That last one is why the ladder is split out as
`resolve_gamescope_route`: a `PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR` pin must not silently mean "bare
spawn" on a box pinned to the managed session.

`#[must_use]` on both entry points found the capture-loss site, which I had missed.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 86b605f01f feat(host): run the virtual display faster than the stream needs
PUNKTFUNK_VDISPLAY_HZ_MULT runs the virtual display at a multiple of the
session's rate without putting one extra frame on the wire. A compositor
paints on its own vblank, so a frame finished just after the capture sampled
waits nearly a full interval to be picked up — the jittery part of the
latency budget, not the steady part; at 2 that worst case halves. It costs
the compositor and GPU the extra composites, so it stays opt-in at 1.

The pacing rate was previously just "whatever the backend achieved". It is
now the session's rate floored by the achieved one — the same value as
before whenever the knob is unset, and the only correct answer when it is
set: never above what the client negotiated, never above what the display
actually produces. Both build sites get it, the initial build and the
in-place resize, so a mid-stream resize can't silently drop back to 1x.

A backend that won't give the multiplied rate now says so at info rather
than warn, since that is the expected outcome of an opt-in knob; falling
short of the SESSION's own rate still warns, because that one costs the
client frames.

Closes #14

enricobuehler fd648aa776 feat(gamescope): put the cursor in the node, so a session can be zero-copy
gamescope keeps the pointer out of its PipeWire node — it lives on a hardware
plane for scanout, and `paint_pipewire()` composites a separate, reduced frame
that never includes it. So punktfunk has always reconstructed it from XFixes
and blended it in host-side.

That blend is what has been blocking the zero-CSC encode path, and the cost is
larger than it sounds: `VulkanVideoEncoder::open` refuses the RGB-direct (EFC)
source for any session with `cursor_blend`, because that front end is
fixed-function and has no blend stage. `cursor_blend_for` sets it
unconditionally for gamescope. Net effect: a gamescope session paid a
full-frame colour-conversion pass per frame, forever, for a pointer.

So put the cursor where it belongs. A second carried gamescope patch adds
`--pipewire-composite-cursor` (off by default — the node has never carried it,
and a consumer that draws its own would get two), painting it with the same
`MouseCursor::paint` call the scanout composite uses. It scales for free:
paint_pipewire has already set `currentOutputWidth/Height` to the capture size,
which is what that function scales against. The repaint test grows the cursor's
state beside the commit ids — a pointer-only move produces no commit, so
without it the composited cursor would freeze on a static screen while the real
one moved, and a cursor that became hidden would never be erased.

Host side, the `+pfhdr` marker becomes a monotonic PATCH LEVEL, so one probe
answers every capability the session must know before it is planned (level 1 =
HDR formats, level 2 = the cursor flag). `cursor_blend_for` and the
`gamescope_cursor` resolver both consult it through one helper, because they
have to agree: the reader without the blend is a wasted X11 connection, the
blend without the reader is a stream with no pointer, and both together with a
gamescope that paints its own would draw two.

⚠ The two indirect spawn modes carry the flag through `PF_HDR_ARGS`, so this
shares a dependency with the HDR flags: a session that ignores
`GAMESCOPE_BIN`/`PATH` and execs the distro's gamescope gets neither. HDR fails
loudly there (negotiation timeout + SDR latch); a missing cursor would be
silent. Noted in packaging/gamescope/README.md as worth a post-spawn
`/proc/<pid>/cmdline` check if it ever bites.

enricobuehler 689297c86e feat(hdr): a gamescope session streams true HDR10, decided before the Welcome
The Linux native plane has been 8-bit for a reason that stopped being true:
`capturer_supports_hdr()` returned a flat `false` because Mutter's virtual
monitors are SDR-only upstream. That is still right for Mutter, KWin and
wlroots — and wrong for gamescope, whose node can now offer 10-bit BT.2020 PQ
(packaging/gamescope). Open the three gates that held it off, together:

* the capture-side gate becomes SOURCE-AWARE (`capturer_supports_hdr_for`):
  Windows keeps its platform answer, gamescope asks whether the resolved binary
  offers the formats, everything else stays false. It must be truthful rather
  than optimistic — the Welcome is irrevocable, and PQ frames on an 8-bit
  encoder are a deliberate hard error — so every term is a static fact resolved
  before anything is spawned, including "do we spawn gamescope at all" (an
  attach inherits someone else's flags and can promise nothing);
* `want_hdr` reaches the capturer: `open_virtual_output` grew the parameter it
  never had, and the host arm stopped dropping `want.hdr` on the floor;
* the spawn gains `--hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-support` on all three
  sub-modes (bare args, the `GAMESCOPE_BIN` wrapper, the SteamOS PATH shim),
  from one shared `hdr_args` — the force flag is what makes it work headless,
  and forgetting it looks exactly like a negotiation failure.

Two things that would have gone wrong quietly:

* the keep-alive reuse key gains `hdr`. gamescope cannot turn HDR on live, so a
  kept SDR display handed to an HDR session would give the game no HDR surfaces
  while the stream negotiated PQ over an SDR composite — wrong, and not
  obviously broken. Same for the managed session-plus/SteamOS reuse check.
* the HDR-negotiation-failure latch becomes PER SOURCE. It was one
  process-wide flag, so a monitor that left HDR mode would have disabled
  gamescope HDR until the host restarted, and vice versa — two facts with
  nothing in common but the word HDR.

GameStream follows the same shape: `host_hdr_capable` gains the gamescope arm,
and the RTSP gate's live BT.2100 monitor probe is scoped to the portal source —
a headless box has no monitor to be in HDR mode, so running it there would
hard-refuse every gamescope HDR session.

Off by default for one release (`PUNKTFUNK_GAMESCOPE_HDR=1`), and
`punktfunk-host hdr-probe` now answers for both Linux HDR sources.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 de3ef50434 fix(native): a mirrored monitor has a fixed mode — refuse to resize it
A physical head runs at the mode its owner set, and MirrorDisplay::create
ignores the requested one on purpose. So a mid-stream Reconfigure against
a mirror could only ever tear the cast down and rebuild the identical one
at the identical size — a hitch that buys nothing, and an invitation to
the worse reflex of reconfiguring the display someone is sitting at.

reconfig_allowed grows a third gate beside gamescope and per-client-mode
identity, and the session captures it at bring-up like the others: this
session opened its display under whatever the pin said then, so a console
change mid-session must not retroactively change the answer it gives.

Linux-only, because vdisplay::open only routes to the mirror there — a
pin left in a Windows host's settings streams nothing different and must
not disable resize as a side effect.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 2c69cbdab9 docs(host/stats): say what the stats actually measure — three field-triage traps
Three lines that each sent the 2026-07 PyroWave field triage down a wrong
path, made honest:

- The 'client accepts streamed AUs … will stream per-slice' log fires
  before the encoder exists and regardless of backend support (only Linux
  direct-NVENC implements chunked polling) — it now states the client
  capability only.
- StatsSample::mbps was documented as 'transmit goodput'; it is attempted
  sealed wire bytes at seal time — AU bytes + shard framing + FEC parity
  (+ PyroWave window padding), not reduced by socket send drops.
- The per-stage split's 'encode' stage is the poll() duration, which is
  ~0 by construction for synchronous backends (PyroWave encodes inside
  submit → its time shows as 'submit') — documented at the split's
  definition so 'encode 0.00' stops reading as an instrumentation hole.

enricobuehler 98121ccd53 feat(session/gamestream): the compat plane learns a game's lifetime too
Moonlight sessions had neither direction of the session⇄game binding: a game
exiting left the player looking at a desktop, and a session ending never touched
the game. The machinery for both landed with the native plane; this wires it up.

The compat plane had no way to say "this is over" — RTSP carries no close code —
so `/cancel`, the management stop and a game exiting all looked exactly like a
client vanishing. They now set a session quit flag, which is what lets the
virtual display skip its keep-alive linger for a real stop and what the
end-game-on-session-end policy reads to tell a decision from a network blip. A
drop still lingers, and still gets its reconnect window.

Moonlight can't resume a session, so a client coming back for a game it left
behind does it by launching the title again — that reclaims the waiting game
before anything starts, rather than letting the old window close on the copy the
player is now holding.

Both planes now resolve a launch through one lookup (`resolve_launch`), so a
GameStream title arrives with the same identity and the same detect signals a
native one does; `resolve_session_launch`/`launch_command` were the older,
identity-less half of that and are gone. A Moonlight game also has no
live-session entry to hang off, so the status surface gains a slot for it —
without it the Dashboard would show a stream with no game while one was running.

Gates on .21: check + clippy --all-targets clean, 296 tests (293 + 3), fmt
CI-parity.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 ed4e3d3ab6 feat(session): end-game/end-session lifetime on Windows
Phase 2. The lease, the settings, the events and the status surface were already
platform-neutral; what Windows lacked was a way to see processes and a way to ask
one to close.

`procscan` splits per-OS behind one contract. The Windows matcher is a Toolhelp
snapshot plus each process's full image path (`QueryFullProcessImageNameW`), with
creation times from `GetProcessTimes` enforcing the two rules the module exists
for: never adopt a process that predates the launch, never trust a bare pid. Both
matter more here than on Linux — the host is SYSTEM, so it can see and signal
everything, and Windows recycles pids briskly.

Path matching is case-insensitive and separator-aware, and normalizes the `\\?\`
prefix `canonicalize` adds, without which a store-derived path would never compare
equal to a live image path.

There is no reaper argv and no readable environment on Windows, so a spec carrying
only a Steam appid or an env marker matches nothing rather than falling through to
an empty predicate. Steam's appid instead feeds a **veto**: its per-app `Running`
flag in the user's hive can't be trusted to say a game IS running (Steam sets it
around updates too, and leaves it stale after a crash), but it is exactly right for
refusing to declare one gone. If the matcher can't see a game whose exe sits
outside its manifest's install dir, ending the session would be a false positive
the player feels immediately; honoring the veto only ever leaves a stream up.

Termination asks before it insists, which on Windows needs a detail that fails
silently if missed: `EnumWindows` only sees the calling thread's desktop, and the
host's is session 0, which holds none of the user's windows. So the terminating
thread binds to the input desktop first (the pattern `pf-inject`'s `sendinput.rs`
uses), posts `WM_CLOSE` to the game's visible top-level windows, waits, and only
then calls `TerminateProcess` on freshly re-verified pids. Without the desktop
bind the polite pass finds nothing and every game dies unsaved.

Job Objects, planned as WP2.3, are deferred with the reasoning in the design doc:
every Windows launch either hands off through a launcher or the shell — where a job
would wrap a shim that exits immediately — or is a direct exe whose path we already
know, and wiring one in would touch the `CreateProcessAsUserW` token path the UAC
and secure-desktop work depends on.

Also: the watcher's steady-state poll now re-verifies known pids and only re-scans
the whole table once they all vanish (which still catches a game that re-execs).
On Windows a full scan is an `OpenProcess` per process on the box, so this is the
difference between a negligible and a noticeable poll.

Gates: Linux .21 check/clippy/fmt/293 tests green; Windows .133 check + clippy
--all-targets clean, and the 4 procscan tests pass — including the live one that
finds the test process in the real process table and rejects a wrong creation time.
On-glass Windows (Steam/Epic/GOG/Xbox titles, the unsaved-progress check) still
owed; it needs a box with games on it.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 64c0ff96bc feat(session): bind a session's life to its game's, in both directions (Linux)
Two of the most-asked-for behaviors, and until now the host could only manage a
sliver of one of them: end the streaming session when the launched game exits,
and — when the operator asks — end the game when the session ends.

Ending the session on game exit already worked, but only for a Steam title under
a bare-spawn gamescope. Everywhere else the host spawned a launch and forgot it:
the pid was logged and dropped, so on KWin, Mutter, wlroots or gamescope-attach a
finished game left the client staring at a desktop. Ending a game was not
possible at all — there was no primitive for it.

The missing piece was never plumbing, it was knowledge: a launch says what to
run, not what the game looks like once a launcher has handed off. So each store
now also reports how to recognize its game (DetectSpec, previous commit's
subject matter, folded in here), procscan turns that into live pids on Linux, and
gamelease turns pids into a lifetime — with four kinds covering how the game got
started:

  nested    gamescope owns it; its display teardown ends the game
  child     the host spawned it, in its own process group
  matched   a launcher owns it; recognized by its store's signals
  untracked nothing identifies it — both behaviors stay off, and the host
            says so once rather than guessing

A child that exits successfully within 5s was a launcher handing off, not the
game: the lease re-resolves to matched (or to untracked) instead of reporting an
exit. That single rule is what keeps steam://, epic:// and playnite:// launches
from ending a session the moment they start.

Ending a game is destructive, so three rules bound it. It is opt-in
(game_on_session_end defaults to keep). A drop is not a decision — `always`
waits out a reconnect window (5 min) that a returning client cancels by
reclaiming its own game, matched on fingerprint and title. And only ever this
session's game: a pid is adopted only if it started after the launch, so a copy
the player already had open is never touched, and every pid is re-verified
against its start time immediately before being signalled, so a recycled pid
never is. Termination asks first (SIGTERM to the group, 10s) and only then
insists.

Also here, because they are the same decision seen from other angles:

- A management stop is now a deliberate stop. `DELETE /session` sets quit before
  stop, so it behaves like a client pressing Stop — the display skips its
  keep-alive linger instead of lingering for a session nobody is coming back to.
- `/status` reports what is running (games[]), including a game whose session has
  gone and which is waiting out its window, so the console can show it and offer
  `POST /game/end`.
- New game.running / game.exited events, filterable like every other kind, which
  is the whole polling loop of the community plugin this replaces.
- session_status::register takes a named struct: eleven positional arguments,
  half of them same-typed Arc<Atomic…>, is a transposition waiting to happen.

Gates on Linux (.21): check, clippy --all-targets, fmt, and 291 tests green.
Windows (Job Objects, Toolhelp matching) and the GameStream plane are phases 2
and 3; both are inert here, as is macOS, which has no launch path at all.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 8362d57001 fix(vdisplay/windows): exclusive topology gets re-asserted — a verified isolate is not durable
The CCD isolate verifies "sole active desktop" at commit time and is never
checked again. On a hybrid Intel+NVIDIA box the internal panel is re-activated
moments later (the isolated topology is deliberately not saved to the CCD
database so teardown can restore the user's layout, and the post-isolate
resize/HDR churn — or the panel's own driver, or display-poller software —
re-resolves back to the stored layout). Proven on-glass: seconds after the
verify, CCD showed the panel ACTIVE beside the virtual display while the host
still believed it was exclusive — cursor and windows can land off-stream, and
the lock screen can land on the physical panel.

A group-scoped watchdog now re-queries every PUNKTFUNK_EXCLUSIVE_REASSERT_MS
(default 2 s, 0 disables) while an EXCLUSIVE isolate is live and re-issues the
isolate when a non-managed display crept back, logging who-is-fighting
escalation (3×WARN → 1×ERROR → DEBUG). Gated on a new GroupState.ccd_exclusive
flag so a Primary group's deliberately-lit panels are never "fixed". Cycles
take the state lock via try_lock with a sliced sleep, so teardown's stop+join
under the state lock cannot deadlock and is bounded by ~250 ms.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 751d1de506 fix(encode/windows): a stale PUNKTFUNK_ENCODER pin no longer wedges a conflicting GPU selection
On a hybrid box, picking a GPU in the web console whose vendor contradicts a
host.env PUNKTFUNK_ENCODER pin produced an unrecoverable session: the pin won
backend selection while the adapter followed the console, the wrong-vendor
encoder failed deterministically at submit, the reset ladder burned its 5
in-place rebuilds on it, and the client reconnected into the identical wall
forever (~10 s per cycle, no visible reason).

Three legs:
- windows_resolved_backend() now reconciles: a hardware pin whose vendor
  contradicts the selected GPU is overridden by the adapter-derived backend
  (capture + encode share one adapter, so honoring the pin can only fail);
  open_video warns loudly when a pin loses. The reconciliation is a pure,
  unit-tested table (resolve_windows_backend).
- the QSV wrong-adapter bind is typed TerminalEncoderError, and the stream
  loop's reset ladder ends the session immediately on it instead of feeding a
  deterministic config error 5 futile rebuilds.
- the un-pinned path was already correct (verified on-glass: NVIDIA preference
  + no pin = stable AV1 10-bit HDR on NVENC), so the override simply takes the
  conflict case onto that path.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 1423b63333 fix(gamestream): the HDR SDR-downgrade latch gated the capture offer but not the negotiation (X6)
`pf_capture::hdr_capture_failed()` had exactly one consumer: `open_portal_monitor`, which uses it to
drop the HDR offer (`want_hdr && !hdr_capture_failed()`). The RTSP negotiation consulted only
`gnome_hdr_monitor_active()`. So once the latch was set — an HDR negotiation timed out, the monitor
left HDR mode between probe and negotiation, NVIDIA EGL not listing LINEAR for XR30, a pre-50 Mutter
— the host kept telling the client HDR while capturing and encoding SDR: `cfg.hdr` flowed to
`open_portal_monitor`, which then silently opened the SDR offer.

The client renders an SDR stream as PQ. Washed out, wrong gamut, and no error anywhere. The latch is
sticky until host restart, so every reconnect repeated it.

Consulted at RTSP honor time rather than folded into `host_hdr_capable()` for the same reason as the
colour-mode probe next to it: that fn is the STATIC serverinfo capability (it decides whether to
advertise SCM_HEVC_MAIN10 at all), and this is a live per-session fact.

The native plane needs no equivalent — `capturer_supports_hdr()` is hard-false on Linux, and the
latch is a fact about the portal capturer, which that plane never uses. Noted in handshake.rs so it
isn't re-derived.

Listed in the sweep's confirmed-defect register as cross-cutting/medium, then absent from every
phase of its implementation plan. Verification is on-glass (force the latch, reconnect a client that
requests HDR, confirm the Welcome/SDP reports SDR).

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 59e33ad11d Merge origin/main into the pf-capture sweep
Upstream landed `fc335b39` (negotiate the cursor around what the encoder can blend) on the same
files this sweep restructured. Merged rather than rebased: the sweep MOVED ~2,000 lines out of
`linux/mod.rs` into `pipewire.rs`/`portal.rs`/`pw_*.rs`, so a rebase would have re-fought the same
conflict in up to nine commits; merging resolves it once with both sides in view. The repo already
carries merge commits (`land/sweep-all`).

Two conflicts, both resolved by keeping BOTH changes:

* `linux/mod.rs` — `PortalCapturer::open` gains upstream's `want_metadata_cursor` AND keeps the
  sweep's `PortalSession` teardown, so the portal threads now take `(setup_tx, quit_rx,
  want_metadata_cursor)`. The second conflict was upstream editing inside the region Phase 5.1/5.3
  moved out; the split wins and upstream's change is ported to where the code now lives:
  `choose_cursor_mode`'s new `want_metadata` ladder (4 arms — prefer Embedded when the encoder can't
  blend, and warn-then-take Metadata when Embedded isn't advertised) is now in `portal.rs`, taken
  verbatim.
* `gamestream/stream.rs` — the pooled-capturer slot keeps upstream's third reuse key
  (`metadata_cursor`, beside HDR-ness) AND the sweep's `result.is_ok() && capturer.is_alive()`
  re-pool gate. Both guard the same slot against different failures: theirs against reusing a
  session negotiated for the wrong cursor mode, the sweep's (L2) against reusing a dead one.

Everything else auto-merged, including the `want_metadata_cursor` thread through
`host/capture.rs`'s facade and `native/stream.rs`'s `session_plan::cursor_blend_for`.

Verified after the merge: workspace `cargo test` green, `clippy --workspace --all-targets` clean on
Linux AND on x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, `cargo fmt --check --all` clean, pf-capture 38/38.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 9a7b3a46d0 fix(pf-capture): gamescope cursor — auth without setenv, frame-space coords, live targets (2.5)
**2.5a (L4) — stop `set_var`ing `XAUTHORITY` from a live multithreaded host.** The old connect
swapped the process-global var around each `RustConnection::connect` under a mutex. That lock
serialises this source against itself and nothing else: `getenv` takes no lock, so every OTHER
thread's read raced it — and the concurrency is by construction, since `attach_gamescope_cursor`
runs while the PipeWire thread is starting up (libspa plugin load, EGL/CUDA init). The primary path
now parses the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 entry out of the given file itself and hands it to
`DefaultStream::connect` + `RustConnection::connect_to_stream_with_auth_info` — the same two steps
`RustConnection::connect` performs internally, minus its env-derived auth lookup — so nothing in
this process touches the environment. The env swap survives only as a fallback for a file we cannot
parse, and a wrong cookie pick cannot do damage: the server rejects it and the fallback (which does
libxcb's full family/address match) takes over. Sharing `pf_vdisplay`'s process-wide env lock was
not the fix — wrong layer, and it would still not fix `getenv`.

**2.5b (L6) — publish the pointer in FRAME coordinates.** `QueryPointer` answers in the nested
root's space, but `CursorOverlay::x/y`'s contract is frame pixels, and gamescope's `-w/-h` (nested
root) and `-W/-H` (output + PipeWire node) are independent knobs — at `-W 1280 -H 720 -w 640 -h 360`
they differ by 2×, so the pointer drew at a fraction of its real position. The root size comes free
off the setup reply we already parse; the negotiated frame size arrives from the PipeWire thread's
`param_changed` through a new `Arc<AtomicU64>` (`0` = not negotiated ⇒ pass through, as before).
Scaling is computed in `i64` — a 5K coordinate times a 5K width overflows `i32`. Position only: the
bitmap stays at root scale, warned once so a mismatched session is visible.

**2.5c (L7) — the targets are a PROVIDER, not a snapshot.** The list was discovered once, before
the game launched. gamescope creates the game's Xwayland at launch and advertises only the FIRST in
any child's environ (verified on this box: `--xwayland-count 2` makes `:2` and `:3`, only `:2` is
advertised), so the game's display was invisible — and when the connected Big Picture display then
reported "gamescope is not drawing the pointer here", the source blanked the cursor for the whole
game session, which is the exact regression the module doc says it fixed. The worker now re-runs the
provider every 2 s: it adopts new Xwaylands, reconnects dead ones, and `spawn` no longer returns
`None` on an empty list — a stream that starts before the game converges instead of staying
cursorless. The provider is a host-facade closure, same one-way-edge shape as `FrameChannelSender`.

**2.5d (L8) — bound the teardown join.** `Drop` joined the worker unbounded while the worker blocks
in `RustConnection` replies with NO read timeout, so a peer that stops answering but keeps its
socket open hung capturer teardown — on the session path. Now: a completion channel,
`recv_timeout(250 ms)`, then detach with a warning (the thread only touches its own X connections
and an `Arc`'d slot).

7 new tests, all host-runnable: the cookie reader against a hostile `.Xauthority` (wrong protocol,
wrong display, wildcard entry, truncation mid-length-prefix, an over-long length prefix, a missing
file), display-string parsing, and the root→frame mapping incl. the 5K overflow. pf-capture 20/20;
workspace clippy --all-targets clean on Linux and windows-msvc. Phase 7.2 owes the on-glass
nested-gamescope validation.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 fc335b39e9 fix(host/encode): negotiate the cursor around what the encoder can blend
EncoderCaps::blends_cursor's contract said the HOST must fall back to
capturer-side compositing when a cursor-as-metadata session lands on an
encoder that can't composite — but that host half was never built: open_video
warned and the session streamed WITHOUT a pointer (confirmed on the VAAPI
dmabuf and libav-NVENC CUDA paths; latent on vulkan RGB-direct/native-NV12).
The negotiation is now caps-aware, ahead of capture, on both planes:

* pf-encode grows cursor_blend_capable() — the pre-open dispatch mirror
  (sibling of linux_native_nv12_ok) answering whether the resolved backend
  composites frame.cursor; its pure core is test-pinned arm by arm.
* Native plane: handshake::cursor_forward grants the cursor channel only
  where the resolved backend can blend (the capture-mouse flip makes the host
  draw the pointer on demand); denied sessions keep the pre-channel path —
  the compositor EMBEDS the pointer, never cursorless, never doubled. The
  Welcome's HOST_CAP_CURSOR bit is computed once and read back at both
  session-wiring sites instead of recomputed. SessionPlan::output_format
  additionally keeps every cursor-blend session off producer-native NV12 (the
  arm with no CSC to fold a cursor into), and vulkan RGB-direct now yields to
  a cursor-blend session even when pinned (EFC cannot composite; the open
  logs the override). Windows plans cursor_blend=false via the new shared
  cursor_blend_for() rule — the IDD capturer composites the pointer itself,
  and asking the encoder anyway fired the blends-cursor warn spuriously on
  every cursor-channel session.
* GameStream plane: the hardcoded cursor_blend=true is gone. The portal
  source asks for cursor-as-metadata only when the resolved backend blends,
  otherwise negotiates an Embedded pointer (choose_cursor_mode's new ladder);
  the capturer pool now also keys on that mode. The virtual-output source
  passes false — its capture embeds the pointer where it can.

The per-arm warns in vulkan_video (RGB-direct, native-NV12) are now
structurally unreachable and removed. open_video's post-open check stays as
the single backstop for what planning cannot see: a Vulkan-open falling back
to VAAPI mid-session, and the gamescope residual (no embedded mode exists
there, so a never-blending backend — H.264-on-AMD VAAPI, software — still
streams cursorless; fixing that needs a compositing stage, deliberately not
built in this pass). Zero-copy is preserved throughout — every fallback is a
capture-negotiation change, never a readback.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 54a37aeb46 docs(pf-capture): truth pass over comments, docs and log strings (sweep Phase 1)
Every item here is prose that actively misdirects a maintainer or an operator. Landing it before
the defect fixes means those diffs get reviewed against accurate comments.

1.1 (X5) — split two merged doc blocks that documented the item ABOVE them: `hdr_meta`'s whole
contract was glued onto `fn cursor()` in lib.rs (leaving `hdr_meta` undocumented), and
`hdr_p010_selftest_at`'s was glued onto `hdr_p010_convert_bars_on_luid` in dxgi.rs. rustdoc for
the trait's central HDR contract was simply wrong.

1.2 (L9 doc half) — the `Capturer` trait doc advertised a "bounded drop-oldest channel". The
Linux portal's `sync_channel(8)` + `try_send` is drop-NEWEST: under a consumer stall the arriving
frame is discarded and the encoder gets the stalest queued one. Say so. (Phase 2.6 changes the
behaviour; this commit only stops the doc from lying about today's code.)

1.3 — delete the DONT_FIXATE claim from the dmabuf offer comment. `build_dmabuf_format` emits a
plain MANDATORY `ChoiceEnum::Enum` and `param_changed` re-emits nothing, so there is no two-step
DMA-BUF handshake here; libspa 0.9's `ChoiceFlags` cannot even express DONT_FIXATE. Recorded as a
real follow-up instead of an implemented thing.

1.4 — `mainloop.run()` no longer "blocks until process exit": the quit channel attached above it
stops the loop from `PortalCapturer::drop`.

1.5 (L11) — the 6-arm negotiation log ladder told a fully zero-copy PyroWave session "VAAPI
encode with the CPU capture path — zero-copy was disabled", one line after logging that it had
advertised the PyroWave device's dmabuf modifiers: the passthrough arm was gated on
`pyrowave_modifiers.is_empty()`, so the pyrowave case fell through to the CPU warning. Ungate it;
the CPU-path arm is now reachable only when no dmabuf is advertised at all, which is what it
claims. Its parenthetical also gains the third real cause (the session asked for CPU frames).
Control-flow-neutral for every other combination.

1.6 (W13) — `kick_dwm_compose` claimed a "sub-millisecond" round trip while its
cursor-on-a-sibling-display branch sleeps 35 ms on the CALLER's thread. State the cost on the
function and at both call sites, including which one is on the live frame path.

1.7 (W16) — DDA-era residue, DDA having been removed:
  - retarget the win32u hook's rationale + all four log strings: its job is no longer "keep DDA on
    one adapter" but "keep the virtual display on the adapter SET_RENDER_ADAPTER pinned" (a DXGI
    reparent surfaces as the driver's TEX_FAIL render-adapter mismatch). The hook stays installed.
  - the per-monitor-v2 DPI awareness rationale likewise: not DuplicateOutput1's E_ACCESSDENIED any
    more, but keeping cursor/window coordinates in the PHYSICAL pixels the host's CCD geometry
    (`source_desktop_rect`, `desktop_bounds`) is already in.
  - `HYBRID_HOOK_HITS` was write-only. Surface it as `hybrid_hook_hits()` on the IDD-push open
    line, which is the first point where DXGI has actually been exercised — the patch-readback
    check proves the bytes landed, only this proves DXGI reaches the export.
  - delete `hdr_p010_selftest()`: an unreachable 64×64 wrapper (main.rs calls
    `hdr_p010_selftest_at`); its description moves onto the function that survives.
  - `VideoConverter`'s docs promised a P010/BT.2020 output and a live scRGB input path. It pins
    `YCBCR_STUDIO_G22_LEFT_P709` unconditionally and its only caller always passes
    `scrgb_input: false`.

1.8 (X7) — the native handshake's 4:4:4 gate comment stated the OPPOSITE of what
`pf_capture::capturer_supports_444` returns on Windows ("delivers subsampled NV12/P010 today, so
it returns false there" — it forwards `resolved_backend_ingests_rgb_444()` and the IDD ring passes
BGRA through for an SDR 4:4:4 session).

No `.rs` behaviour delta: comments, doc comments and log strings, plus 1.5's control-flow-neutral
ladder and 1.7's counter accessor. Linux tests 6/6; clippy --all-targets clean on both targets.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 78fe77b049 feat(host/encode): de-escalate the latency escalation once cadence holds clean
Escalate-and-hold's missing half. The contention escalation (capture depth,
then the NVENC pipelined retrieve) was permanent: one sustained overrun — even
one CAUSED by the ABR overdrive's rebuild storms — cost the session its
depth-1 latency and its sub-frame streaming forever, and `encode_us` reported
queue depth instead of ASIC time for the rest of the session.

- The leaky bucket now keeps scoring after escalation. A sustained
  every-frame-on-cadence run (~5 s at 120 fps) winds back one stage in reverse
  order: pipelined retrieve first (its rebuild restores the IO-stream binding
  and sub-frame chunked streaming), then capture depth back to 1. Attempts are
  paced by an exponential backoff (1 → 5 → 25 min, capped) — a workload that
  truly needs the escalation converges to keeping it, but never a permanent
  latch.

- NVENC (Linux) implements `set_pipelined(false)`: a `want_sync` latch handled
  at the same drained safe point as the engage side (`maybe_disengage_async`
  mirrors `maybe_engage_async`); the lazy sync re-init re-arms everything and
  opens on an IDR. The stream loop polls until the switch lands, then re-runs
  the escalation warmup so the wind-back's own stall can't re-escalate it.
  `PUNKTFUNK_NVENC_ASYNC=1` (operator-pinned async) refuses the wind-back;
  the trait doc now specifies the two-way contract.

- While escalated, `cadence_degraded` stays latched (bitrate climbs refused)
  even with the bucket drained: the headroom is spent, and climbs resuming
  mid-escalation would saw against it and starve the clean run.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 1b27706a9b feat(host/native): truthful bitrate state — applied-rate adoption, ceiling pre-clamp, climb refusal
Host half of the §ABR-overdrive fix. The stream loop now reads
`Encoder::applied_bitrate_bps()` after every bitrate apply and stores THAT into
`bitrate_kbps`/`live_bitrate` — the send pacer, web console, mgmt registry and
control-task acks all track what the ASIC really targets instead of the
requested rate (the pre-fix ack promised 1.01 Gbps while the encoder ran
794 Mbps, and the client controller climbed from the phantom base forever).

- A short apply teaches `encoder_ceiling_kbps` (shared atomic): the stream loop
  pre-clamps incoming requests to it and SKIPS the apply when nothing would
  change — ending the reconfigure-reject → full-rebuild(~0.6 s + IDR) storm —
  and the control task resolves future SetBitrate acks against it, so the
  client learns the ceiling through the existing ack path (no wire change; old
  clients converge too).

- `cadence_degraded` (shared flag, leaky-bucket level ≥ 10 or an escalated
  session): while set, the control task resolves climbs to the current applied
  rate — on a fat LAN no network signal ever stops a climb the encoder can't
  serve, and past the compute knee more bits only deepen the cadence miss.
  Descents always pass; they're the cure.

- Escalation-warmup hygiene: an ABR rebuild stall (~70 missed deadlines at
  120 fps, 3.5× the escalate threshold) and the backlog scored against a
  heavier rate no longer feed the latency escalation — rebuilds reset the
  leaky bucket and re-run the warmup; in-place down-steps clear the bucket.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 c1d54b835b fix(encode/nvenc): cache the level ceiling, expose the applied bitrate, force 2-way split at 4K120
Three encode-time fixes from the 4K120 field analysis (sessions pinned ~107 of
120 fps, 14-15 ms reported encode):

- Ceiling truth: the codec-level bitrate clamp (binary search at session open)
  now records its result in a process-lifetime advisory cache keyed by
  GPU/config, so an ABR overshoot opens — or in-place reconfigures — straight
  AT the ceiling instead of re-running the ~6-open search (and a full rebuild
  + IDR) on every overshoot. New `Encoder::applied_bitrate_bps()` exposes the
  post-clamp rate so the session loop can stop pacing/acking a phantom
  requested rate (consumed host-side in a follow-up).

- Clamp-search hygiene: only NVENC parameter/caps rejections steer the search
  now (`NvCallError` keeps the raw status downcastable); a transient failure
  (busy engine, session limit, OOM, driver skew) propagates instead of
  shrinking into — and now caching — a bogus ceiling. The floor fallback also
  records the split mode it actually opened with, so a later reconfigure
  re-presents the real session params.

- Split-frame selection: one shared `resolve_split_mode` replaces the two
  byte-identical direct-SDK copies; the force-2-way threshold moves to
  `SPLIT_FORCE_PIXEL_RATE` (950 Mpix/s, shared with the libav path) because
  4K120 = 995,328,000 px/s missed the old `> 1e9` gate by 0.47% and stayed on
  AUTO — which never engages at 2160 px height, leaving the second NVENC
  engine idle in exactly the mode the threshold existed for. The Linux
  session-ready info! line now carries the final split mode (journals are
  INFO+; this was undiagnosable from user logs).

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 e35dad529b fix(vdisplay/gamescope): DM-flavor-aware session takeover — stop masking Nobara's plasmalogin to death
Field report (Nobara 43 HTPC): switching the host to Steam Game Mode
mid-stream permanently black-screened the box. Live-proven root cause on
a Nobara repro VM: our takeover masks the box's gamescope-session-plus
unit, plasmalogin's Relogin=true then fails its session Exec repeatedly
and trips systemd's start limit within ~1 s — the display manager dies,
and our restore verb (unmask + user start) cannot bring a seatless
gamescope back. Only 'reset-failed + restart' of the DM recovers.

The takeover is now display-manager-flavor-aware:
- SDDM (Bazzite/SteamOS) keeps the proven mask+SIGKILL path unchanged.
- plasmalogin/unknown DMs never mask: with privilege (root or an
  operator polkit rule scoped to the DM unit — documented) the host
  stops the DM for the stream and restores it with reset-failed +
  restart (PUNKTFUNK_RECOVER_SESSION_CMD as fallback), recorded in the
  persisted takeover state so a host crash still restores; without
  privilege the managed takeover degrades to ATTACH and mirrors the
  box's live Game Mode instead of destabilizing the seat. Both legs of
  the privileged cycle live-verified on the repro VM (headless managed
  session works with zero login sessions; render nodes are 0666).
  A loaded-but-inactive leftover instance never triggers the DM stop.

Companion fixes from the same triage:
- ensure_box_gamescope_mode gains the attach-only rebuild-probe guard
  both managed paths already had (stale post-capture-loss detection
  restarted the box's unit), and no longer re-modes a box that drives a
  physical display — attach mirrors on-glass; re-mode is the
  headless-box model.
- Capture-loss rebuilds targeting gamescope get a 100 s budget: the
  40 s budget expired inside the first 45 s Steam-cold-start launch
  attempt, a guaranteed single-shot failure.
- A PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR pin now WARNs once per capture loss when the
  live session no longer matches it (the pin disables
  session-following — the reporter's original stream-death trigger).
- A managed session that took nothing over (client gamescope pin beside
  a live desktop) is stopped on disconnect instead of being orphaned
  forever.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 aca5aa9993 feat(host+inject): pen P1 — per-session uinput virtual tablet, HOST_CAP_PEN live
The Linux injection leg of design/pen-tablet-input.md: 0xCC/0x05 pen batches now
route through the per-session PenTracker into a lazily-created 'Punktfunk Pen'
uinput tablet (BTN_TOOL_PEN/RUBBER, pressure, tilt-from-polar, ABS_Z barrel
roll, hover distance, INPUT_PROP_DIRECT) — compositors pick it up via libinput
and hand apps zwp_tablet_v2 with full fidelity. The host now advertises
HOST_CAP_PEN when /dev/uinput is accessible (PUNKTFUNK_PEN=0 kill-switch);
transitions group into SYN frames so proximity-enter carries its position.
Stroke failsafe: clients heartbeat ≤100ms while in range (documented wire
contract — capture APIs are silent for a stationary pen); 200ms of silence
force-releases. 'punktfunk-host pen-test' draws a pressure-ramped sine stroke
through the real tracker→uinput chain, no client needed.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 4.8 588a7077e8 fix(host/gamepad): only degrade a virtual Steam pad on a same-PID conflict
The Steam-conflict gate matched any physical Valve `28DE` HID device, so a
Steam Machine with a physical Steam Controller 2 (`28DE:1302`) plugged in
degraded a client's requested virtual Steam Deck (`28DE:1205`) to a DualSense
— the reporter's controller passthrough came up as the wrong pad.

Steam Input drives *distinct* Steam controllers side by side; only two
*identical* `28DE` devices confuse it (the Deck-as-host case: built-in
`28DE:1205` + a second virtual Deck, observed live on Bazzite). Narrow the
gate to key on the exact VID+PID instead of the `28DE` vendor alone:

- `steam_backend_product()` maps each virtual Steam backend to the PID it
  enumerates as (Deck 1205, classic SC 1102, SC2 1302, SC2 Puck 1304).
- `physical_steam_controller_present()` -> `physical_steam_product_present(pid)`
  matches `:28DE:{PID}`, keeping the FVPF-serial / `vhci_hcd` / `/virtual/`
  exclusions so our own virtual pads never count.
- `degrade_steam_on_conflict` degrades only on a same-PID duplicate and logs
  the conflicting identity. `PUNKTFUNK_STEAM_FORCE=1` override unchanged.

A physical SC2 no longer blocks a virtual Deck (and vice versa); a genuine
same-identity duplicate (physical Deck + virtual Deck, or physical SC2 +
SC2 passthrough) still degrades. Adds a unit test for the PID mapping.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 4.8 92f38ec3dd chore(cleanup): drop TEMP cursor probes + clear KWin-leg clippy debt
The KWin/Phase-A/B commits were built but never clippy-checked (that distrobox
had no clippy component), so they left TEMP on-glass probes and lint debt in the
tree. With clippy now runnable (fedora rust 1.96.1 = CI parity):

- drop the `fec424ee`/`8cff30d5` TEMP probes: the `update_cursor_meta` SPA_META
  diagnostic logs (also un-detaches the `// SAFETY:` comment from its `unsafe`
  block → fixes `undocumented_unsafe_blocks`) and the KWin composite-arm probe in
  the encode loop.
- `#[allow(clippy::too_many_arguments)]` on `spawn_pipewire` (8 params since the
  KWin leg added `expect_exact_dims`; mirrors `from_virtual_output`).

clippy `-p pf-capture -p pf-vdisplay -p punktfunk-host --locked --features
nvenc,vulkan-encode -- -D warnings` is now green. (--all-targets additionally
trips a pre-existing env mismatch: the fedora libspa binding lacks
`SPA_VIDEO_TRANSFER_SMPTE2084`, referenced only by a `#[cfg(test)]` guard-test —
not a code issue; CI's pinned pipewire has it.)

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 4.8 d5ae8dcc3e feat(capture): gamescope cursor via XFixes shape + QueryPointer position (Phase C)
gamescope excludes its pointer from the PipeWire node it feeds us and can't embed
one either (`set_hw_cursor` is inert), so every gamescope stream was cursorless.
Read the pointer from gamescope's nested Xwayland instead — XFixesGetCursorImage
for shape/hotspot/visibility, core QueryPointer for position — and publish a
CursorOverlay into the capturer's existing `cursor_live` slot, so the encoder
blend composites it into the video exactly like the SPA_META_Cursor path.

- pf-capture/src/linux/xfixes_cursor.rs (new): the XFixes reader. Connects to
  EVERY nested Xwayland (Gaming Mode runs one per --xwayland-count) and follows
  the focused one each tick (the display whose pointer moves), reading that
  display's own cursor shape. Un-premultiplies ARGB -> straight RGBA. Drop stops
  the thread.
- Capturer::attach_gamescope_cursor + the PortalCapturer override spawn it into
  the same `cursor_live` slot; pf_vdisplay::gamescope_xwayland_cursor_targets
  discovers the (DISPLAY, XAUTHORITY) pairs via the GAMESCOPE_WAYLAND_DISPLAY scan.
- host: SessionPlan.gamescope_cursor (set from the compositor at both resolve
  sites AND on a mid-stream Desktop->Gaming switch); the blend gate now builds the
  encoder blend for gamescope; a sibling composite arm attaches capturer.cursor()
  per tick for capture-mode clients (no channel needed). native NV12 is disabled
  for these sessions — that encode path can't blend the cursor (it assumes
  gamescope embeds the pointer), so we capture RGB and route to the proven CUDA
  VkSlotBlend / compute-CSC blend.
- the pipewire thread no longer clobbers `cursor_live` with None on a buffer that
  carries no SPA_META_Cursor (gamescope) — that raced the XFixes writer and
  strobed the composited pointer on/off.

On-glass (home-bazzite-2, RTX 5070 Ti, Gaming Mode): cursor visible + steady in
Big Picture and CS2 menus, follows focus between the two Xwaylands, hidden in-game.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 925130d1f9 feat(vdisplay): compositor-embedded pointer for sessions without the cursor channel (Phase B)
Since the cursor-channel work, every Linux virtual output was created in
metadata pointer mode — making ALL sessions depend on host-side cursor
compositing, including the ones that can never use the channel (Moonlight/
GameStream, legacy clients, capture-mode starts). Those sessions paid the
blend bring-up per session and, whenever a visible cursor was composited,
the loss of NVENC's stream-ordered submit — for a strictly worse cursor
than the compositor's own.

Mirror the Windows no-regression gate: the already-wired per-session
set_hw_cursor(cursor_forward) now drives the Linux backends too. A
cursor-channel session gets metadata (shapes forwarded, composite flip
blends host-side — today's validated path, unchanged); every other session
gets the pointer compositor-EMBEDDED at creation (KWin zkde pointer=2,
Mutter cursor-mode=1, wlroots/hyprland portal CursorMode::Embedded — their
pre-channel default; the portal pair also gains the Metadata arm for
channel sessions, wired but untested on-glass). SessionPlan.cursor_blend
narrows to cursor-forward sessions and rides into the direct-SDK NVENC
open, which skips the Vulkan slot-blend bring-up entirely when off —
embedded sessions ring on plain CUDA surfaces and pay zero cursor cost,
per-session or per-frame.

The keep-alive registry's reuse key grows the created pointer mode (new
VirtualDisplay::hw_cursor getter): a kept embedded display has no cursor
metadata for a channel session to forward, and a kept metadata display
would leave a channel-less session with no pointer in its frames.

Rate-limited journal logging bracketing the silent segment of the Linux
composite path: what overlay (if any) the encode loop's composite arm
hands the encoder, and whether the NVENC cursor-blend kernel launches and
with what geometry. On-glass (KWin leg) the blend module loads yet the
composite cursor stays invisible — these two probes attribute it to
no-overlay / stripped-en-route / kernel-draws-nothing. The module-loaded
INFO line is permanent (success must be as attributable as failure);
everything else in this commit is temporary.

The frame-attached overlay is the pointer position at the last damage
frame; repeats re-encoding a static desktop froze the blended cursor
between redraws — on-glass the composite-mode cursor stuttered while
window drags (constant damage) were smooth. Refresh the repeat's overlay
from Capturer::cursor each tick so pointer-only motion re-blends at tick
rate — the bandwidth the pre-channel embedded mode already paid. Linux
only: the Windows capturer composites internally and its frames must
never carry an overlay a blend path would double-draw.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 c29186bd1a fix(host+vdisplay): a mode-switch replacement display inherits the group topology
The resize rebuild creates the new virtual display BEFORE retiring the old
one (create-before-drop), so the registry saw a live same-backend sibling —
its own dying predecessor — and told the backend it was not first in group.
Mutter then skipped the Primary/Exclusive apply ("joining an existing
display group — extending") and the retiring owner took the topology with
it: every resize silently demoted the virtual output to an extended,
shell-less desktop. Thread the superseded pool gen through acquire so the
replacement establishes topology, and stop counting kept (Lingering/Pinned)
entries as demoting siblings — no session owns them, so there is no live
desktop to clobber.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 4.8 b50e4767de fix(windows/cursor-flip): flag + forced same-mode re-commit — the working un-declare
The empty-caps un-declare is REJECTED by IddCx (STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER,
on-glass driver 9.9.0722.1407) — there is no un-declare DDI. The
composite flip now works with the only lever the OS gives us: every
mode COMMIT reverts the path to the software cursor, and the driver
skips its per-commit re-declare while cursor_forward_on is off. So:

- driver: disable stores the flag only (no DDI call); enable still
  declares immediately against the live worker's event.
- host capturer: after a successful disable flip, force a same-mode
  re-commit (win_display::force_mode_reenumeration) — DWM composites
  the pointer from the very next commit; the swap-chain flap is the
  class the driver's preserved-publisher machinery already rides out.
- state now survives re-arrivals end-to-end: the capturer caches the
  APPLIED state (cleared on every channel (re)delivery, which
  re-created driver entries need — their flag defaults to declared),
  and the stream loop re-applies every tick instead of edge-gating
  (steady-state cost: one Option compare).

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 4.8 92761813a9 feat(core+host+driver+client): mid-stream cursor-render flip — host composites in the capture model
The cursor channel excluded the host pointer from the video for the
whole session, but the client only draws it under the DESKTOP mouse
model — flipping ⌃⌥⇧M to capture mid-stream left the session
pointer-blind (user-found). The fix makes render ownership LIVE state:

- wire: CursorRenderMode 0x51 (client→host, control stream) —
  client_draws: true = desktop model (host excludes + forwards),
  false = capture model / released (host composites, full fidelity —
  DWM on Windows incl. real XOR inversion, encoder blend on Linux).
  Sessions start client_draws=true (the pre-message behavior).
- host: control task stores the flag; the encode loop edge-detects it —
  forwarding + frame.cursor strip while the client draws, quiet
  forwarder + overlay-into-blend while composited. SessionPlan now
  grants blend CAPABILITY wherever the capture has a pointer (dropping
  the !cursor_forward gate) so the composite side needs no encoder
  rebuild; per-tick frame.cursor decides what is drawn.
- Windows: Capturer::set_cursor_forward → retained
  IOCTL_SET_CURSOR_FORWARD sender (proto v6) → driver (un)declares the
  IddCx hardware cursor on the LIVE monitor. Un-declare re-issues the
  setup with EMPTY caps (candidate mechanism — the DDI has no
  documented un-setup); resetup-on-commit is skipped while off, so a
  mode commit's software-cursor default is the fallback path. Failure
  against a pre-v6 driver logs and keeps declared-at-ADD behavior.
- SDL client: one edge-detected reconciler at the cursor pump site —
  desktop-active = client draws; capture model or released = host
  composites. Covers the chord, the M3 auto-flip, and engage/release.
- C ABI v12: punktfunk_connection_set_cursor_render (additive; wire
  version unchanged — pre-§8 hosts ignore the unknown message type).

Brings the cursor channel to Windows hosts. The pf-vdisplay driver
declares an IddCx hardware cursor for sessions that negotiated
cursor-forward — DWM then EXCLUDES the pointer from the IDD frame and
delivers shape/position out-of-band, into the same CursorOverlay →

  delivers a host-created CursorShm section (64-byte seqlock header +
  256² shape buffer, layout pinned + tested). No event crosses the
  boundary — the host polls at encode-tick pace.
- driver: wdk-iddcx grows the two cursor DDI wrappers; a per-monitor
  cursor worker (event wait → QueryHardwareCursor → seqlock publish)
  starts only when BOTH the ADD asked and the channel arrived, so a
  failed delivery leaves DWM compositing as today. Shape bytes ship raw
  (BGRA/masked + pitch); the host converts.
- host: the section rides the existing sealed-channel broker (least-
  privilege dup, remote reap on failure); IddPushCapturer::cursor()
  seqlock-reads → CursorOverlay (BGRA→RGBA, masked-color approximation,
  desktop→frame origin shift, per-shape conversion cache). New
  Capturer::cursor() trait hook — the encode loop prefers it over the
  frame-attached overlay because hardware-cursor moves produce NO new
  frame on a static desktop. hw_cursor survives the re-arrival resize
  (carried on the manager's Monitor).
- negotiation: cursor_forward grows the Windows arm (client cap ∧
  driver proto ≥ 5, probed once via the control device); SessionPlan
  carries cursor_forward → OutputFormat.hw_cursor.
- drive-by: wdk-probe's two pre-existing same-type casts (clippy) and
  pf-vdisplay's stale spike-test refs (crate::win_display moved to
  pf-win-display; tracing-subscriber was never a dep) repaired.

Verified: proto tests on Mac AND MSVC (15/15 incl. the CursorShm
layout pin); clippy -D warnings for proto/frame/capture/vdisplay/host
on Linux (.21) and native Windows (.173); the DRIVER workspace clippy
-D warnings green against the real WDK 10.0.26100 bindgen (DDI names,
enum variants and IDARG layouts all bind). On-box driver deploy +
on-glass validation follow.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 c3cbffe662 feat(host+client): host-driven mouse-model flip — remote-desktop sweep M3
The full Parsec model: launching a game from a desktop session flips the
client into captured relative automatically, and back — no chords.

- Capture overlay now distinguishes 'hidden' from 'no cursor yet':
  CursorOverlay grows a visible flag, overlay() returns Some whenever a
  bitmap is known (the encode loop strips invisible overlays after
  forwarding so no blend path ever draws one; the CPU composite guarded
  on visibility already).
- Host forwarder maps it onto the reserved wire bit: visible ⇒ VISIBLE,
  hidden-but-known ⇒ RELATIVE_HINT (an app grabbed/hid the pointer),
  never any hint before the first bitmap — a cold start can't flip a
  desktop session into capture.
- Presenter: edge-triggered auto-flip on hint changes via the new
  Capture::set_desktop (chord semantics untouched); a manual ⌃⌥⇧M sets
  an override latch that holds until the HOST's intent next changes, so
  the hint never fights the user. Leaving relative warps the local
  cursor to the host's last pointer position through the new
  content_to_window inverse-letterbox mapping (unit-tested against
  finger_to_content) — the hand-back is seamless.

Verified on .21: fmt + clippy -D warnings + tests (presenter 20 incl.
the inverse-mapping roundtrip, host 245).

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 4a01bc4463 feat(core+host+client): cursor channel — remote-desktop sweep M2a+M2b
The host cursor stops riding the video and becomes a real OS cursor on
the client (the Parsec/RDP model): pointer feel no longer pays the
capture→encode→network→decode→present round trip.

Wire (M2a):
- Hello grows a client_caps trailing byte (CLIENT_CAP_CURSOR) after the
  fixed display_hdr block — presence disambiguated by remaining length,
  which caps the post-HDR tail at 27 bytes (documented); Welcome answers
  HOST_CAP_CURSOR (capable-and-asked, the 444/clipboard precedent).
- CursorShape (0x50, control stream): serial + dims + hotspot + straight
  RGBA, ≤120px/side so the u16 frame always fits (128² would overshoot);
  client caches by serial — re-showing a known shape costs 14 bytes, not
  a bitmap (RDP pointer-cache for free).
- CursorState (0xD0 datagram): serial + visible/relative_hint flags +
  position, sent once per encode-loop tick — latest-wins, self-healing
  under loss, no refresh timer. relative_hint is reserved for M3.
- Client core: two new planes (control-task + datagram-task arms) →
  next_cursor_shape/next_cursor_state; connect() grows client_caps
  (C ABI passes 0 until the v11 cursor poll fns exist).

Host (M2b, Linux portal only):
- handshake::cursor_forward is THE predicate (client asked ∧ Linux ∧
  compositor ≠ gamescope) — Welcome bit and session wiring both read it.
- SessionPlan.cursor_blend goes false for a forwarding session; the
  encode loop ticks a CursorForwarder every iteration: shape-serial diff
  → control-task bridge (mirrors probe_result), state datagram → conn.
- CursorOverlay/capture CursorState carry the hotspot through
  (nearest-neighbor downscale backstop for XL cursors, unit-tested).

Presenter:
- CursorChannel drains both planes per loop iteration; shapes become
  SDL color cursors (from_surface + hotspot), applied while the desktop
  mouse model is engaged; visibility follows the host; capture/released
  hands back the system cursor. Sessions advertise the cap when they
  START in desktop mode.

Verified on .21: fmt + clippy -D warnings (7 crates) + tests green
(core 218 incl. new wire roundtrips, host 245 incl. e2e + forwarder
downscale tests).

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 abe6228b42 feat(core+host+android): committed-text input plane (IME path) — InputKind::TextInput
The VK key-event vocabulary cannot express text an input method COMMITS
(autocorrect, gesture typing, non-Latin scripts, emoji). Add a first-class
text event and negotiate it:

- punktfunk-core: InputKind::TextInput (= 15) carries one Unicode scalar per
  event in `code`; HOST_CAP_TEXT_INPUT (0x04) in Welcome::host_caps.
- Host advertises the cap only where the session's inject backend can type
  text: Windows SendInput (KEYEVENTF_UNICODE, surrogate-pair aware) and the
  Linux wlroots backend — a dedicated second zwp_virtual_keyboard whose xkb
  keymap grows Unicode keysyms on demand (the wtype model), so keymap
  re-uploads never disturb the main device's layout/modifier state. The
  KWin-fake-input/libei/gamescope backends can only press layout keycodes, so
  those sessions don't set the bit and clients keep the VK fallback.
- GameStream plane: Moonlight's UTF-8 text packet (MAGIC_UTF8, previously
  recognized-and-dropped) now decodes to the same TextInput events.
- Android: KeyCaptureView picks a real editable InputConnection when the host
  has the cap — the IME runs its full machinery, mirrored to the host live via
  common-prefix diffs of the composition (backspaces + new suffix), with
  setComposingRegion adopting committed text so autocorrect-revert flows diff
  instead of retyping; newline→Enter, deleteSurroundingText→Backspace/Delete.
  Older hosts keep the TYPE_NULL raw-key path unchanged.
- keymap: media VKs (0xB0-0xB3) → evdev so the Android media keys land on
  Linux hosts too.

Verified: punktfunk-core + host gamestream + pf-inject tests green on Linux
(Ubuntu box), clippy clean; Android app+native builds.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 2562663fc6 fix(host/linux): survive and self-heal dead gamescope sessions on headless SteamOS boxes
Three fixes for the "most connects simply fail" trap on a SteamOS host
with no physical display (VM testbox, panel-less mini PC):

- restore path: skip the restore-to-physical-panel when no DRM connector
  reports a connected display — removing the headless drop-in and
  restarting gamescope-session.target on such a box just crash-loops
  gamescope and strands every later connect on "no usable compositor".
  Keep the headless session (and the takeover state) instead.
- connect path: when no live graphical session exists but the MANAGED
  gamescope infra is present (SteamOS gamescope-session / Bazzite
  session-plus), route to the gamescope takeover — which rebuilds the
  session at the client's mode — instead of failing the connect.
- error delivery: a session-setup failure used to just drop the QUIC
  connection, reaching the client as "control stream finished mid-frame"
  (indistinguishable from transport trouble). Close with a typed
  setup-failed code (0x68, RejectedSetupFailed = -29) carrying the error
  text, and give the client handshake/pairing error paths a short grace
  for the CONNECTION_CLOSE to beat the stream error it caused.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 d36bec6e9d feat(core+host): negotiate ChaCha20-Poly1305 as the session cipher for soft-AES clients
Lifts the ~100 Mbps decrypt ceiling on clients without hardware AES — the
armv7 soft-AES targets (webOS TVs), where AES-128-GCM resolves to fixsliced
software AES + software GHASH (~50-100 cpb) while ChaCha20-Poly1305's ARX
construction runs ~10-17 cpb portable, a 4-7x lift that PyroWave-on-TV needs
(design/chacha20-session-cipher.md).

Phase 1 (core crypto, no wire change): SessionKey merges cipher choice and
key material (invalid combinations unrepresentable, zeroize + redacted-Debug
discipline kept); SessionCrypto dispatches both aead-0.5 ciphers per call —
the salt||seq nonce scheme, per-direction salts, seq-as-AAD and replay
window carry over verbatim (same 96-bit nonce / 16-byte tag, const-asserted).
Config.key becomes SessionKey; validate's zero-key rejection follows the
active variant. The C ABI keeps its fixed 16-byte key mapped to AES — no
ABI_VERSION bump.

Phase 2 (negotiation): VIDEO_CAP_CHACHA20 (0x40) — support-plus-request in
one bit, the VIDEO_CAP_444 precedent. Welcome grows cipher@68 +
key_chacha@69..101, emitted only when non-zero so an AES session's Welcome
stays byte-identical to the pre-cipher form; decode is fail-closed (short
key or unknown id -> Err, never a silent AES fallback). No WIRE_VERSION
bump; downgrade resistance inherited from the pinned-TLS control channel.

Phase 3 (host): grant only when the client advertised the bit and the
PUNKTFUNK_CHACHA20 kill-switch (default on, documented) allows; fresh
32-byte per-session key from the same RNG discipline, legacy key field
stays independently random; resolved cipher logged at session start.

Verification: seal/open suites parameterized over both ciphers + a
cross-cipher tamper case; Welcome roundtrip/truncation/fail-closed tests;
ChaCha lossy-loopback soak (loss/replay is cipher-independent); bench
gains _chacha20 series (AES ids unchanged for CI history) — host-side
sealing line-rate-trivial on both x86 (~640 MiB/s) and Apple Silicon
(~535 MiB/s). punktfunk-probe drives the interop matrix via
PUNKTFUNK_CLIENT_CHACHA20=1 and logs the negotiated cipher.

Phase 4 (pf-webos pin bump + unconditional cap bit) follows the next
core release.
