`applyCustomPreset` builds a FRESH policy object instead of spreading the
draft, so every field it doesn't name is dropped. `capture_monitor` was
not named — so picking one of your own saved presets silently took a host
that was mirroring a real monitor and put it back on a virtual display.
The same omission in the Custom switch would have done it there too.
Found on-glass against a running serve on .136: the PUT is whole-object,
so the console is the only thing keeping the orthogonal axes alive, and
these two sites were the ones building a policy from scratch rather than
from what was already in force.

P4 of design/per-monitor-portal-capture.md. The pin was an env var read
once at startup, which a console picker can never write — so it becomes a
field of the display policy (orthogonal to presets, like game_session), and
`vdisplay::capture_monitor()` resolves env-over-policy: an appliance that
pinned in its unit's host.env stays pinned there, and a console click
cannot re-aim a machine whose operator already declared the answer.
Read per `open` rather than cached, so a picker change takes effect on the
next session instead of the next host restart. The host re-resolves the
input anchor on every policy write — including clearing it when the pin is
cleared, or a later virtual-display session inherits an anchor aimed at a
monitor it is not showing.
`with_manual_layout` carries the pin through like the other orthogonal
axes: without that, saving a display ARRANGEMENT would silently swap the
streamed screen back to virtual.
Console: a "Streamed screen" card listing the host's real monitors beside
"Virtual screen (default)", saving on selection. A disabled head is listed
but not selectable (so "why isn't it here?" has an answer), and an
env-pinned host renders read-only with the reason rather than offering
controls that silently lose to the environment.
Verified on GNOME/Mutter: pinning via the policy file alone (no env) routes
sessions to the mirror and anchors input; setting the env to a different
connector overrides it, exactly as documented.

On-glass on .41: with `game_on_session_end: keep` — "leave it running, nothing
is ever closed" — a deliberate stop ended the game, and a drop ended it ~14 s
later. Both times the LEASE did the right thing (no `ending the launched game`
line); the game died because the virtual display was torn down, and a nested
launch runs inside that gamescope.
So on a dedicated gamescope session the game's lifetime IS the display's, and
keep-alive decides it — not this setting:
* a deliberate stop skips the linger by design, so the game goes at once,
* a drop lingers the keep-alive window, then takes the game with it,
* only keep-alive Forever actually keeps it — and `always` still ends it at
the reconnect window, which is the documented precedence and was verified
(a `forever`-pinned display released at grace expiry, 60.006 s).
That makes the console's promise untrue on the most common Linux setup, so the
card now says so for every option rather than only warning about `always`, and
the docs get the three cases as a table. Worded so a non-gamescope host reads it
and moves on — a desktop-session launch is an ordinary process and none of it
applies.
Not changing behavior here: making `keep` pin the display would pit it against
"a stop must not leave a ghost display", and which wins is a product call rather
than something to decide silently mid-test.
web: codegen + tsc + biome clean, en/de complete. docs-site: build + tsc clean.
The host knows what it launched and, after a disconnect, that it is counting
down to closing it. None of that was visible: the console showed a stream with
no game, and a game on its way to being closed was something you found out about
afterwards.
The Dashboard gains a running-game card above the session card — box art matched
against the catalog it already fetches, so no new endpoint and no request on the
2 s status poll. "End now" means the two different things the row's state
implies: a live game ends by stopping its session (what then happens to the game
follows the policy — stopping a session is not licence to close a game), while
one already waiting out its reconnect window has no session left to stop and is
ended directly.
The settings card sits next to the display keep-alive policy because that is the
same question one step out: keep-alive decides how long a *display* outlives a
disconnect, this decides whether the *game* does. The copy says plainly what
`always` costs, that a drop is not someone pressing Stop, and that a display kept
forever is unaffected either way — the precedence rule that would otherwise
surprise someone. Where a build enforces nothing (macOS, no launch path) the
controls are shown disabled rather than hidden: "does nothing here" is
information.
Also fixes the story fixtures, which had gone stale against the `games[]` field
Phase 1 added, and adds a story for the state the card exists for — a game whose
client walked away.
web: build + tsc clean, biome-formatted; en/de messages complete.
Pairing:
- Refresh the paired-devices list after a native PIN pairing (the happy path never
invalidated it, so a newly paired device stayed hidden until remount).
- Moonlight PIN: a 204 means "PIN delivered to the waiting handshake", NOT paired, so
it now reads "PIN sent" instead of a false "Paired successfully".
- Hide the Moonlight pairing card on native-only hosts (HostInfo.gamestream) — it could
never receive a PIN there.
- Per-row pending on unpair/approve/deny; PIN input maxLength 16 (was 8).
Displays / Library:
- "Arrange displays" save refreshes the settings card (it rewrites the policy), without
clobbering unsaved Custom edits (re-seed only when the draft still matches the server).
- Live-display list wrapped in QueryState so errors don't read as "no displays".
- "Forever" keep-alive option in the custom editor; edit-game form round-trips the logo
artwork (was dropped on save); per-card delete pending.
Stats:
- Distinct colour for the native "queue" latency stage (it collided with "capture").
- "Not measured on this path" note on the GameStream health chart; configured-bitrate
target line on throughput; host-authoritative elapsed timer; LiveCard surfaces
non-404 errors.
Shell / auth / i18n:
- SSR-stable locale: first client render matches the base-locale SSR (no hydration
mismatch), then adopts the persisted/browser locale post-hydration.
- BFF proxy maps an upstream (mgmt-token) 401 to 502 so a logged-in user isn't bounced
into a post-login redirect loop.
- Logout checks the POST result before navigating; logs dedup by seq (StrictMode);
login "next" keeps query/hash; Dashboard shows the active-session count.

Second experiment against the connected-but-dark-head stutter (field-proven
on the reporter's box: unplugging his standby HDMI TV removes a metronomic
~4 s double-jolt; DDC/CI is a dead end for TVs — measured on the lab LG, VCP
0xD6 gets no I2C ACK). An Exclusive isolate only removes physical monitors
from the CCD topology; their PnP devnodes stay live, so every standby wake
(auto input scan, Instant-On HPD cycling) still triggers the full Windows
reaction: PnP arrival/removal, CCD re-evaluation, DWM invalidation — the
suspected hiccup mechanism (Apollo #368's Device-Manager-refresh signature).
- New `pnp_disable_monitors` display-policy axis (default off): orthogonal
to presets like game_session/ddc_power_off, surfaced in GET/PUT
/display/settings + the enforced list, carried through the layout
transform.
- windows/monitor_devnode.rs: after the isolate takes, disable exactly the
deactivated monitors' devnodes — CCD target → monitor device path
(DISPLAYCONFIG_TARGET_DEVICE_NAME) → PnP instance id → CM_Disable_DevNode
with CM_DISABLE_PERSIST, so a hot-plug RE-ARRIVAL stays disabled (that
persistence is the whole point). Teardown re-enables BEFORE the CCD
restore (+300 ms re-arrival settle) so restored paths have their monitors
back. Precise selection — co-installed third-party virtual displays are
never touched.
- Crash safety: instance ids journal to <config>/pnp-disabled-monitors.json
before disabling; serve startup re-enables leftovers from a crashed host.
Worst case is documented in the console help (Device Manager re-enable).
- Web console: second Experimental-badged toggle (the DDC block refactored
into a shared ExperimentalToggle), EN/DE strings, preset-switch carry.
Verified: Linux 263 tests + clippy + fmt clean; Windows (RTX box) 220/220 +

The sole-virtual-display stutter investigation's active experiment: when the
Exclusive isolate deactivates a physical monitor, the dark-but-connected head
keeps getting serviced (monitor standby auto-input-scan / DP link churn) at a
seconds-scale cadence — the leading suspect for the periodic double-jolt. A
panel commanded off over DDC/CI (the VESA monitor-control channel in the video
cable) believes it has an owner and, on cooperating firmware, stops probing.
- New `ddc_power_off` display-policy axis (default off): orthogonal to presets
like game_session, stored in display-settings.json, surfaced in GET/PUT
/display/settings + the enforced list, carried through the layout transform.
- windows/ddc.rs: VCP 0xD6 power-mode control via the dxva2 Physical Monitor
API. Deliberately DPMS-off (0x04, DDC stays responsive, signal return wakes)
and never power-button-off (0x05, bricks-until-button on many monitors).
Probe-before-write; every failure is skip-and-log — monitors without DDC/CI,
OSD-disabled, or behind docks/KVMs degrade to a logged no-op.
- Manager wiring: panels commanded off immediately BEFORE the Exclusive CCD
isolate (an HMONITOR — and with it the DDC channel — only exists while the
display is active); teardown wakes them right after the CCD restore, where
returning signal alone already wakes most firmware.
- Web console: an Experimental-badged on/off control on the display card,
applied immediately like the game-session axis and preserved across preset
switches; EN/DE strings incl. the wake-failure escape hatch (press the
monitor's power button once, turn the option off).
Diagnostic value on top of the fix: if this kills a reporter's stutter, the
churn is monitor-firmware-initiated; if only topology=primary/extend does, the
driver services dark heads regardless — the two remaining root-cause classes.
Verified: Linux 258 tests + clippy + fmt clean; Windows (RTX box) 220/220 +
clippy clean; web tsc + production build clean; openapi.json regenerated.

- Favicon: the brand-mark lens SVG at /favicon.svg, linked from the root head.
- Branding: user-facing "punktfunk" → "Punktfunk" (tab title, app_name,
pairing prose, the logo aria-labels/SVG titles) — protocol identifiers
(punktfunk/1, _punktfunk._udp, binary/module names) stay lowercase.
- The display policy auto-saves on every preset pick / field edit with no
signal; mount @unom/ui's sonner Toaster in the root and fire a success toast
from the save funnel's onSuccess (new i18n key, en + de). First toast usage
in the console — errors stay inline as before.
- The stop-session button rendered destructive-red even with nothing to stop:
variant switches to the muted `secondary` while no session is active.

Save named bundles of the display-management policy (the six behavior axes
plus the game-session axis) as custom presets, alongside the built-ins. A
custom preset is data — stored in <config>/display-presets.json — not a Preset
enum variant, so DisplayPolicy::effective() stays pure and the built-in set is
untouched; applying one writes a Custom policy via the existing PUT
/display/settings.
- policy.rs: CustomPreset/CustomPresetInput + load/add/update/delete store
- mgmt.rs: GET/POST /display/presets + PUT/DELETE /display/presets/{id},
surfaced on GET /display/settings
- web console: custom-preset cards with save-as / edit / delete + i18n
- regenerated api/openapi.json; docs

Console polish on the Virtual displays card + shell:
- Topology help now leads with the streamed display's role (Extend/Primary/Exclusive) instead of
the confusing physical-monitor-only framing; notes the headless case. Identity help spells out the
actual behavior (stable per-client identity → the desktop reapplies that client's scaling/resolution
on reconnect) + what Shared / Per-client / Per-client+resolution each do.
- Cap description/help width at max-w-prose so long help text isn't a full-viewport line on large screens.
- Mobile bottom nav: 8 flat tabs were too cramped → 4 pinned tabs + a "More" tab whose sheet holds the
rest (Performance/Logs/Pairing/Settings), "More" highlighted when the active route is in the overflow.
- More breathing room under the "Preset" heading.

Completes the last §6A-era preset. The Linux registry already resolved forever→Pinned (pure
lifecycle machine); the blockers were the Windows manager, the mgmt reject, and the console tag:
- Windows manager: new `MgrState::Pinned { mon }` — the last-released monitor under keep_alive=forever
is kept indefinitely (like Lingering but the linger timer never fires). A reconnect preempts +
recreates it (same as Lingering — a reused IddCx swap-chain is dead), snapshot reports "pinned",
and `force_release` (POST /display/release, the §8 escape hatch) frees a pinned monitor. release()
branches on the new `keep_alive_forever()`; all MgrState matches made exhaustive over Pinned.
- mgmt PUT /display/settings: stop rejecting keep_alive=forever (now honored on both platforms with a
release path). OpenAPI regenerated.
- web: un-disable the gaming-rig preset (DISABLED_PRESETS now empty) — one-click applies.
Linux paths + web/tsc/openapi green; 47 vdisplay tests pass. The Windows manager.rs is #[cfg(windows)]
(not compilable on the Linux dev box) — build-verified + on-glass validation on .173 to follow.

The preset options were raw <button>s — flat, no motion/material — unlike the rest of
the console. They now render as the `interactive` AnimatedCard (motion hover + specular
material, consistent with every other card), keyboard-accessible (role=button + Enter/
Space), with a 2px primary ring for the active one and a proper disabled state for
gaming-rig.

- Every option in the custom form now renders through one `Field` wrapper (label →
control → help at a consistent `space-y-3`), so the label→input gap is roomier and
identical across keep-alive, the button groups, and max-displays — the first field no
longer spaces differently from the rest.
- Reworded the multi-monitor layout help: it now says Auto is side-by-side and Manual
gives a per-display X/Y editor "in the Live displays section below once two or more are
streaming" — instead of pointing at an "arrangement table" that isn't visible until
clients connect.

Two UX fixes on the Virtual displays Configuration card:
- Keep-alive is no longer implicitly "on" by typing in the seconds field. It's an
explicit two-button toggle — **Off** (tear down at disconnect) vs. **Keep for** [N]
seconds — and the seconds input only appears when "Keep for" is selected. The
duration is remembered across toggles, and the help text explains both modes.
- Opened up the cramped custom form: the fields container is `space-y-6` with more
padding (`p-5`, rounded-lg), each option group is `space-y-2.5`, and the Save button
sits below a divider — so it reads as sections with room instead of a pressed stack.

The Host page was crowded (identity, codecs, ports, GPU, displays, compositors) and the
virtual-display config surface is large enough to warrant its own home.
- New **Virtual displays** nav section: `/displays` route + `sections/Displays` (moved
DisplayCard out of `sections/Host`), a `MonitorPlay` sidebar entry after Host, and
`nav_displays` i18n. Removed the displays card from the Host page/view.
- On its own page the card splits into two: **Configuration** (presets + custom axes) and
**Live displays** (the live list + arrangement table) — room to breathe.
- Presets now render in a max-2-column grid (`sm:grid-cols-2`) with larger padding, a bigger
section heading + preset titles (text-base semibold), roomier spacing, and bottom-aligned
"what it sets" badges so the cards line up.
web tsc + vite build + biome-lint green; deployed + verified on the Mutter box (.21).
