-**Remaining for full parity:** ViGEm gamepad + wiring host→client Opus audio (the WASAPI backend
-exists; `m3` `audio_thread` is still Linux-gated pending an MSVC `opus` build).
+**Remaining for full parity:**
+- **Host→client Opus audio** — the WASAPI capture backend is done + init-validated, but the `m3`
+  `audio_thread` stays Linux-gated because the `opus` crate links *system* libopus, absent on MSVC.
+  Finish by providing libopus on MSVC (vcpkg) or switching `audio_thread` to a vendoring Opus crate
+  (audiopus/magnum-opus build libopus from C source), then widen the `audio_thread` cfg.
+- **ViGEm rumble back-channel** (`Xbox360Wired::request_notification`) — small; needs a physical pad.
+- **Live GPU/in-session validation** — SudoVDA monitor activation, DXGI capture, NVENC encode, and
+  SendInput injection all need a real GPU and an interactive (console) session, not SSH/Session-0.
