An identified-but-unpaired device that knocks on a pairing-required host is now
held as a pending request the operator approves from the web console — pairing it
with no PIN fetched out of band — instead of a flat reject.
- core: Hello gains an optional trailing device name (len u8 || UTF-8, ≤64,
same trailing-back-compat pattern as compositor/gamepad/bitrate). client-rs
--name sends it; the connector sends None (fingerprint-derived label).
- native_pairing: in-memory pending queue (note_pending dedups by fingerprint,
evicts the least-recently-active past a 32 cap, 10-min TTL); approve_pending
pins the fingerprint, deny drops it. Names are sanitized (strip control/ANSI/
bidi — untrusted wire input); add()/remove() roll back in-memory on a persist
failure; pairing clears any stale pending knock.
- m3: the require_pairing gate records the knock (sanitized label) before
rejecting; anonymous (certless) clients record nothing.
- mgmt: GET /native/pending, POST /native/pending/{id}/approve (optional {name})
and /deny; OpenAPI + tests; docs/api/openapi.json regenerated.
- web: a "Waiting for approval" section on the Pairing page (live-poll, Approve/
Deny, error-surfaced via QueryState); en+de strings.
- Also completes an in-progress NativeClient Sync refactor (receivers behind
per-plane mutexes) that was left half-applied in the tree.
Adversarially reviewed (4 lenses + 3-vote verify); the confirmed findings are
fixed here. Validated live on the GNOME box: knock (with a wire name, and a
malicious ANSI/bidi name that got neutralized) → pending → approve → the same
identity streams real video. Full workspace tests + clippy + fmt green; web tsc
clean. Roadmap §8b-1 marked done; §8b-2 (peer-push approval) is the client
follow-up. See docs-site pairing page.

Replace the dev/agent-log pages with a proper user-facing doc set:
- Getting Started: Introduction (rewritten), How It Works, Quick Start.
- Host Setup: Requirements, then clean per-platform guides — Ubuntu GNOME,
Ubuntu KDE, Fedora KDE (new), Bazzite (rewritten) — plus Running as a Service
(desktop / headless GNOME / headless KDE).
- Connecting: Clients overview, Moonlight, Pairing & Trust.
- Configuration: host.env reference, Host CLI, Troubleshooting.
- The dev/design notes (architecture, roadmap, the deferred design specs, CI)
move to a clearly-separated "Project & Internals" nav section.
Removes the superseded box-specific pages (gnome-box, headless-box, linux-setup,
overview). status.md (the internal progress tracker, with box IPs) is kept as a
file but dropped from the public nav. Site builds clean.
