An all-fixes patch on top of 0.19.1, all host-side:
- KDE Plasma display takeover moved off kscreen-doctor to in-process
kde_output_management_v2 (86d5d666), with the >60 Hz custom-mode install
ported too (64511af4) — a KWin host whose kscreen-doctor wedges now disables
its physicals and hands over the streamed output in ~2.4 ms instead of hanging
~26 s and never taking over.
- The gamescope managed takeover is display-manager-flavor-aware (e35dad52) so
switching a non-SDDM Linux desktop (Nobara / plasmalogin) into Game Mode no
longer start-limits the display manager into a permanent black screen, and
in-stream 'Switch to Desktop' is honored under it (a3e21d92).
- Windows display isolation anchors the kept sources at the desktop origin
(9b241d9d) so an origin-less desktop no longer fails 0x57, with restore
guaranteed never to leave the desktop all-dark.
- Windows pen/touch/absolute-mouse map over the streamed output's rect rather
than the whole virtual desktop (087e7d04), so absolute input lands correctly
when a physical monitor is kept on beside the streamed display.
Nothing moved on the wire (protocol 2) or at the C ABI (13), so no embedder
rebuild and 0.18/0.19 peers keep mixing freely. The Windows virtual-display
driver protocol is unchanged.

An all-fixes patch on top of 0.19.0. The headline is session teardown — the
native stop flag made enforceable and bounded (ac3dc432) and GameStream ending
on the control peer's ENet disconnect (41fa25c4), so a session can no longer
outlive the client that started it on either plane.
Also: the Windows input-desktop pair (display writes b5fa878b + pen/touch
injection 24a24734 both surviving a UAC prompt), the Apple display-sleep guard
(bc5f6a38), the gamescope corner-parked cursor (4b2d2d1e), the KWin custom-mode
selection (3a33a694), the tvOS glob warnings (cc8cccbe), and the Linux
starter/env docs revamp (66172753).
Nothing moved on the wire (protocol 2) or at the C ABI (13), so no embedder
rebuild and 0.18/0.19 peers keep mixing freely.

Release notes were written for the people who build Punktfunk, not the people who use it —
dense with protocol/ABI/type names that confused even technical readers. Rewrite v0.19.0 in a
benefit-first, plain-language voice (New/Improved/Fixed) with all internal terms removed from the
body and every protocol/ABI/embedder detail moved to a single bottom "Under the hood" section.
docs/releases/README.md now codifies this voice as the format spec for all future notes.

Headline: the whole pen/tablet input stack (P0–P5) — a pressure-sensitive stylus plane
across core wire, Linux, GameStream/Moonlight, Windows, iPad Pencil and Android. Plus
touch-injection fixes, cursor-DPI scaling, three Windows-host display/cursor fixes, a
gamepad same-PID conflict fix, and the Android mouse/keyboard (TV) regressions.
Release notes authored in-repo at docs/releases/v0.19.0.md (first release on the new flow;
CI seeds the release body from it). cargo update --workspace syncs the lock (versions only).

Release notes now live in the repo at docs/releases/vX.Y.Z.md, authored during the
version bump (before the tag). ensure_release (gitea-release.sh + .ps1 twin) seeds the
Gitea release body from that file in the create POST, so the release is born WITH its
notes instead of being created empty and PATCHed afterward. canary/rc have no file ->
empty body, unchanged.
New manual `announce` workflow (workflow_dispatch, tag input) re-syncs the notes file
over the live release and posts a violet embed (title, notes lead-in, release-page link)
to the Discord #releases channel via the DISCORD_RELEASE_WEBHOOK secret. Stable-only:
a -rc tag is refused unless allow_prerelease=true. Pressing "go" is the quality gate, so
a half-built or failed release is never announced.
docs/releases/README.md documents the ritual; TEMPLATE.md is the skeleton.

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.

The pen plane from design/pen-tablet-input.md, protocol side only (the P1 uinput
tablet injector will consume it): 0xCC kind 0x05 carries batches of state-full
PenSamples (pressure, polar tilt + azimuth, barrel roll, hover distance, eraser
tool, barrel buttons); PenTracker diffs samples into injector transitions so a
lost datagram self-heals; HOST_CAP_PEN (0x10) gates sending and stays
unadvertised until a real backend exists. C ABI: PunktfunkPenSample +
punktfunk_connection_send_pen, documented in docs/embedding-the-c-abi.md §8.

Developer integration guide for building a punktfunk client on any platform
by linking punktfunk-core through its stable C ABI: what the core does vs.
what the embedder supplies, build/link/cross-compile, the full client
lifecycle (identity/pairing, connect ladder, video+recovery loop, audio,
input, feedback planes, teardown), plus worked blueprints for webOS, Xbox
(GDK), and Tizen.
