~1150 feat/fix commits landed since v0.19 and the docs drifted badly. This is a
full sweep of every page against the code as shipped: ~280 verified corrections,
nine new pages, and one deletion.
The worst of what was wrong: the quickstart's five-minute path could not work
(`serve` never started the web console, so step 3 had no PIN to read); every
packaged Linux host runs `serve --gamestream` while security.md told readers to
leave GameStream off; HDR was documented as Windows-only; `PUNKTFUNK_SECURE_DDA`
was documented as a working knob that nothing reads; `PUNKTFUNK_INPUT_BACKEND`
listed a `uinput` value that does not exist and named libei for KDE instead of
kwin; README linked three pages deleted on 2026-07-05; and the rpm-ostree update
command pointed at a script no package installs.
Completeness: about half of what shipped since v0.19 had no page at all. New:
support-matrix (what works where, from 217 verified capability cells), input
(mouse/touch/pen — and the in-stream chords, so the docs finally say how to get
your mouse back), client-settings, profiles-and-links, game-library, clipboard,
wake-on-lan, hdr, uninstall. Updating existed but had zero inbound links.
status.md is gone: its facts moved into the support matrix, its shell stays as a
redirect so the public URL does not 404. roadmap.md is themes now, not a feature
checklist — checkboxes are what rotted.
Debian is no longer claimed. The .deb's Depends resolve against Ubuntu images,
nothing in CI builds or tests Debian, and Debian 12 is below the glibc 2.39
floor. The `debian` in the repo URL is the package format.

Field triage (Nobara, Discord): the kde.md starter host.env told desktop
users to set PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR=kwin, which PINS the backend — detect()
short-circuits and the capture-loss rebuild never re-detects — so a
mid-stream switch to Game Mode killed the stream instead of following it.
A follow-up hardcoded XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 anchor broke PipeWire
for any non-1000 uid (pw audio connect: Creation failed).
Revamp across every starter/example/reference:
- Desktop starters (kde/gnome/hyprland/sway) shrink to
PUNKTFUNK_VIDEO_SOURCE=virtual + an explicit warning that pinning
disables session-following; forcing a backend is CI/appliance-only.
- host.env.example: rewritten around auto-detection; anchors demoted to a
commented ssh/cron-only block with the uid trap spelled out; the
gamescope ATTACH/MANAGED knobs documented (previously missing);
case-sensitivity called out.
- packaging/bazzite/host.env + README: drop the uid-1000 anchors (a
systemctl --user service inherits/derives them); README's stale
PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR=gamescope-era template synced to the real one.
- packaging/kde/host.env: loud APPLIANCE-ONLY header (it pins on purpose).
- configuration.md: session-anchors section inverted to "leave unset",
compositor row states the pin consequence, case-sensitivity note.
- troubleshooting.md: new "session fails right after editing host.env"
section (case, wrong-uid anchors, stale pin, restart-to-apply).
- gamescope.md/bazzite.md: attach/managed descriptions match current
behavior (managed is the infra-detected default; attach re-modes a
box-owned session to the client's resolution).

Six parallel audits swept the root docs, docs-site, every per-directory
README, and the packaging docs; every claim below was verified against
the source before editing.
- README: Layout gains the six missing crates (pf-client-core,
pf-presenter, pf-console-ui, pf-ffvk, pf-driver-proto, punktfunk-tray),
clients/session, api/ and ci/; Linux/Windows client rows reflect the
shell + Vulkan-session split and the Vulkan Video -> VAAPI/D3D11VA ->
software decode chains; the "every client over a C ABI" claim is
corrected (Rust clients link the core directly); tiered stats overlay
+ console shell noted; Apple row mentions AV1.
- CONTRIBUTING: drop the dead CLAUDE.md link (deliberately untracked);
point at the README's build/invariants sections. SECURITY: 0.9.0.
- host-cli/pairing: --allow-pairing/--require-pairing are no-op legacy
names — pairing is required by default, --allow-tofu is the real flag;
document --data-port and --idle-timeout-ms.
- configuration: document PUNKTFUNK_RECOVER_SESSION_CMD (session-crash
recovery hook), PUNKTFUNK_MDNS, PUNKTFUNK_DATA_PORT.
- virtual-displays/gnome: GNOME per-client scaling shipped (host-
persisted) — flip the ❌ to ✅ and describe how it works.
- stats: new "Detail levels" section (Off/Compact/Normal/Detailed +
per-platform cycle gestures); retire the GTK hand-off note.
- clients/install-client/status/roadmap: decode chains, Windows client
validation narrowed to HDR-only pending, adaptive bitrate, console
shell, Apple AV1, Windows host vendor list.
- Sub-READMEs: clients/linux rewritten for the re-architecture; session
Windows decode rung + d3d11va knob; Windows tiered overlay; Android
minSdk 28; decky file table; host zerocopy/ path; scripts port
47992 and steamos-host.md; pf-dualsense source path.
- packaging: canary version bases are tag-derived (<next-minor> via
pf-version.sh/.ps1), codecs-extra not ffmpeg-full, document the
pinned offline-Skia tarball + SKIA_BINARIES_URL and vulkan-headers.
- Convert 15 dangling design/*.md links to the punktfunk-planning
prose convention (those docs live in the private planning repo).

Now that the per-capture worker subprocess makes an NVENC EGL/CUDA driver
fault survivable (design/zerocopy-worker-isolation.md), the reason the NVENC
zero-copy path stayed opt-in is gone. zerocopy::enabled() now defaults ON for
both GPU backends (was ON VAAPI / OFF NVENC). Fallbacks are intact: VAAPI's
one-shot CPU auto-downgrade (VAAPI-gated, never trips for NVENC) and NVENC's
per-capture fallback + worker-death latch.
Reframe the shipped host.env examples and setup guides to rely on the default
rather than force PUNKTFUNK_ZEROCOPY=1 (an explicit =1 skips the VAAPI
auto-downgrade).

Split the docs' single distro×desktop axis (ubuntu-gnome / ubuntu-kde / fedora-kde) into two,
which deduplicates the shared mechanics and scales to distros that run several desktops (Arch):
- Install the host — per distro/OS (ubuntu, fedora, arch, bazzite, steamos-host, windows-host):
GPU driver + package + input group, then a canonical "Configure your desktop" funnel.
- Configure your desktop — per compositor (kde, gnome, gamescope, sway): host.env, compositor
quirks, the headless session, and starting the host.
New shared web-console page (enable · login password · arm pairing) removes the console/password
block that was copy-pasted across all seven host pages. Merged ubuntu-gnome + ubuntu-kde into
ubuntu; renamed fedora-kde to fedora; kept bazzite and steamos-host as dedicated appliance guides
(trimmed of duplication). Moved the KWin headless session, the GNOME EGL/lock traps, and the
gamescope attach/managed model out of the distro pages onto their compositor pages.
Fixed while restructuring: distro-specific paths on kde (kde-desktop-setup.sh is Fedora/Bazzite-only;
the .deb ships host.env.kde under /usr/share/punktfunk-host), the interactive "start the host" step
that was lost in the merge, sway over-claiming Hyprland, and a pre-existing broken anchor in
how-it-works.
Removal of the three old pages was captured by the preceding commit b28ddfc (a concurrent commit
swept up the staged git-rm); the net docs tree is correct. Fumadocs build + internal link/anchor
check green.
