enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 ef39050dbc docs: repo-wide housekeeping — sync README & docs with the code as shipped
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).

# punktfunk-session
The Vulkan session binary: one stream per invocation in an SDL3 window — no UI toolkit,
no widgets, terminal stats. The power-user / gamescope stream client, and the stage-2
presenter of the Linux client re-architecture (punktfunk-planning:
`linux-client-rearchitecture.md`).
```
punktfunk-session --connect host[:port] [--fp HEX] [--launch id] [--fullscreen] [--stats]
punktfunk-session --browse host[:port] [--mgmt PORT] [--fullscreen]
```
`--browse` opens the console game library (the Skia coverflow over the animated aurora)
instead of connecting: A launches the focused title as a stream in the same window,
session end returns to the library, B quits (Gaming Mode returns). Paired hosts only —
pairing is the desktop client / Decky plugin's job. `PUNKTFUNK_FAKE_LIBRARY=<file.json>`
feeds canned entries with no host (portrait paths starting with `/` load from disk).
Reads the same identity / known-hosts / settings stores as the desktop client
(`punktfunk-client`) — pair there (or via its headless `--pair`) first; this binary never
connects to a host it has no pinned fingerprint for (`--fp HEX` overrides the store).
Stdout is the machine interface: `{"ready":true}` after the first presented frame,
`stats: …` once per second while the overlay tier isn't Off (always the full detailed
text, whatever the OSD shows; `--stats` forces the overlay on), one
`{"error"|"ended": …}` JSON line on the way out. Logs go to stderr. Exit codes: `0`
clean end, `2` connect failed, `3` trust rejected / pairing required, `4` presenter
init failed.
In-stream keys match the desktop client: click captures input (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q
releases), Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D disconnects, F11 toggles fullscreen; the controller escape
chord (L1+R1+Start+Select, hold to disconnect) works the same.
The default build carries the Skia console UI (`ui` feature): the stats OSD and capture
hint render in-window. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S cycles the OSD tier live — Off → Compact (one
line: fps · latency · Mb/s) → Normal (mode + end-to-end percentiles) → Detailed (decoder
path + per-stage latency equation); any tier but Off also emits the stdout mirror.
`--no-default-features` is the ~5 MB power-user build — same streaming, stats on stdout
only, no Skia anywhere in the dependency tree.
Decode follows the Settings preference (auto: Vulkan Video → VAAPI → software on Linux,
Vulkan Video → D3D11VA → software on Windows): FFmpeg's Vulkan Video decoder runs on the
presenter's own device where the stack supports it (every vendor, zero copy); VAAPI
dmabufs import per-plane elsewhere (D3D11VA textures on Windows); software is the
universal fallback. 10-bit Main10 and HDR10 are advertised
(`VIDEO_CAP_10BIT|HDR`): P010 decodes through all three paths, and PQ streams present
on an HDR10/ST.2084 swapchain when the desktop offers one (KDE HDR, gamescope) or
tone-map in-shader to SDR when it doesn't (`PUNKTFUNK_TONEMAP_PEAK` tunes the rolloff,
default ≈1000 nits). The host still gates the upgrade behind its `PUNKTFUNK_10BIT`
policy.
Debug/bisect knobs: `PUNKTFUNK_DECODER=vulkan|vaapi|d3d11va|software`, `PUNKTFUNK_PRESENT_MODE=
mailbox|immediate` (default FIFO), `PUNKTFUNK_VK_DEVICE=<index>` (multi-GPU), and
`PUNKTFUNK_HW_FAULT=import` (fault every VAAPI dmabuf import — proves the three-strike
demotion to software on healthy hardware).
