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) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
