enricobuehler	2b1843ed1c	fix(drivers/pf-gamepad): the right stick is Z/Rz — as declared, it was dead ... Found on glass, first real streaming session: everything worked except the right stick, and Steam correctly showed "Xbox One S Controller". `XBOX_RDESC` declared the right stick as `Rx`/`Ry`. `xinputhid`, which translates our HID collection into XUSB, maps `Z`/`Rz` to the right stick and does not treat `Rx`/`Ry` as one, so those two axes reached nothing. Two usage bytes. Left and right were declared identically here — same collection, same globals, same size and count — so the usages were the entire difference, which is what makes the diagnosis airtight rather than plausible. Note `DUALSENSE_RDESC`, a real capture, also uses `Z`/`Rz` for its right stick and puts the TRIGGERS on `Rx`/`Ry`; that is most likely where the original mistake came from. ⚠️ Byte offsets are unchanged — still 16×2 at bit 5.0 — so `xbox_proto`'s layout tests and the host-side packing are untouched. This is a pure relabelling. 🛑 THE REAL LESSON IS THE HARNESS, AND IT IS FIXED HERE TOO. This survived every bench measurement because `dualsense-windows-test` drove LS-X and the A button and left the other five analogue axes at zero. `XInputGetState` read `RX [0..0]`, which I read as "the devtest doesn't move it" — true, and useless: a harness that exercises one axis cannot tell "this axis is not mapped" from "nothing is driving it", and the two are indistinguishable in every consumer. The devtest now sweeps all six axes on distinct phases and ramps both triggers, so one run shows which axes arrive AND that they are not crosstalking onto each other's bytes. MEASURED ON .173, same run shape before and after, devtest sweeping all six axes: before: LX [-11264..24576] LY [-32768..31744] RX [0..0] RY [-1..-1] LT [0..248] RT [7..255] after: LX [-8192..26624] LY [-32768..31744] RX [-32768..31744] RY [-24576..10240] LT [0..248] RT [7..255] VERIFIED * `cargo test -p pf-inject --lib` 104/104 on Windows; `xbox` subset 11/11 on macOS — the layout tests still pass because nothing moved. * Driver rebuilds and signs; the descriptor is still 223 bytes so the `wReportLength` const assert is undisturbed. * `cargo fmt --all --check` clean. NOT VERIFIED * Not yet re-tested in a real streaming session — that is the next on-glass run. * ⚠️ A leftover finding from the same session, unrelated to this fix and NOT investigated: the session's pad devnode SURVIVES client disconnect and keeps the `Global\pfds-boot-0` bootstrap mailbox, so a devtest run afterwards fails with `Zugriff verweigert (0x80070005)` and silently measures the stale pad instead. Restarting the service releases it. Worth its own look.	2026-08-09 22:19:25 +02:00
enricobuehler	4f9071b980	feat(pads/windows): three Xbox identities — Wireless, One S and Elite Series 2 ... Until now there was one Xbox identity, `device_type = 4` / `045E:0B13`, and Windows folded a client's `XboxOne` request onto it because the only Windows Xbox backend was the XUSB companion, which presents one fixed 360 identity and cannot vary it. The HID backend can, so the fold goes and two identities join it: devtype 4 045E:0B13 pf_xboxwireless Xbox Wireless Controller devtype 5 045E:02FD pf_xboxones Xbox Wireless Controller (One S) devtype 6 045E:0B22 pf_xboxelite Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 `GamepadPref::XboxElite` takes wire byte 11 — the first unassigned one, and the round-trip test previously asserted `from_u8(11) == Auto` with a comment saying assigning it must update that; the sentinel moved to 12. The C ABI mirror and the generated header moved with it. ⭐ ALL THREE SHARE ONE REPORT DESCRIPTOR, deliberately. In HID terms they are the same pad; the descriptor is the report shape, not the identity. §3 of the handoff records that our single hand-written descriptor already cost three separate bugs, and inventing two more would multiply that debt for no measured gain. They differ in VID/PID, product string, hardware id and Device Manager description only. ⚠️ All three install `pfGamepadXbox`, the section that attaches the `xinputhid` bus filter. That was the open risk: Microsoft's `xinputhid.inf` promotes by an explicit hardware-id allow-list containing `02D1, 02DD, 02E3, 02EA, 0B00, 0B0A, 0B13, 02FF` — and NEITHER `02FD` NOR `0B22` is on it. Measured on .173: promotion does not care, because it comes from our own AddReg rather than from matching Microsoft's ids. All three gain `IG_00`, register an XUSB interface, and are read live by classic XInput. Had this gone the other way the two new identities would have been strictly worse than the one they joined. The XUSB escape hatch needed a runtime degrade to stay honest. `pick_gamepad` is compile-time only, so with `PUNKTFUNK_XBOX_BACKEND=xusb` the host would have resolved and echoed `xboxelite` in its `Welcome` while actually building a 360 pad. `degrade_xbox_identity` folds the identity back at runtime, mirroring `degrade_if_no_uhid`. VERIFIED ON WINDOWS (.173 — none of this compiles on macOS; the driver needs the WDK and the rest is `cfg(windows)`): * `cargo test -p pf-inject --lib` 104/104 — including `hwid_matches_inf`, `hwid_devtype_table_matches_the_driver` and `only_the_xbox_identity_installs_the_xinputhid_section`, all now sweeping the whole identity set and asserting the section split in both directions. * `cargo test -p punktfunk-core --lib gamepad` 7/7; `cargo check -p punktfunk-host` clean. * Driver builds and signs; the descriptor/`wReportLength` const asserts still hold with the descriptor shared three ways. * ON GLASS, per identity, via the new `--xboxones` / `--xboxelite` devtest legs: each gets its own devnode (`PF_XBOX_0` / `PF_XBOX_ONES_0` / `PF_XBOX_ELITE_0`), each HID child gains `IG_00`, each registers an XUSB interface, and XInput reads each live (packets advancing, `buttons=0x1000`). * macOS: `cargo fmt --all --check` clean in both workspaces. NOT VERIFIED / NOT DONE * **Elite paddles are NOT implemented.** `BTN_PADDLE1..4` would need descriptor buttons, and once `xinputhid` promotes the pad it claims the HID collection exclusively — XInput has no paddle fields and the HID consumers that do may be locked out, so the buttons would likely reach nobody. The decisive measurement is cheap and named in the code: hold a paddle bit set and see whether a user-mode HID reader still gets reports. Until then the Edge remains the only virtual pad with native back-button slots and nothing should be advertised otherwise. * **No client picker offers the Elite**, and none can auto-detect it — SDL3's `GamepadType` has no Elite variant. It is reachable today only via `PUNKTFUNK_GAMEPAD=xboxelite` or a hand-edited client setting. All five clients ship the same curated six options by deliberate parity, so adding one is a cross-client UX change, not part of this. * Nothing here has run in a real streaming session; every measurement came from the devtest.	2026-08-09 21:41:53 +02:00
enricobuehler	bd5735b803	feat(pads/windows): make the HID Xbox pad the default, and carry the trigger motors on the wire ... Three changes that only make sense together: the HID backend becomes the default now that it is a superset of the XUSB one, the rumble datagram grows the two Xbox impulse-trigger motors, and the INF-shape tests learn about the Xbox identity's own install section. WP-E — `PUNKTFUNK_XBOX_BACKEND` now defaults to `hid`; `=xusb` is the escape hatch. The knob existed for exactly one reason, recorded in its own doc comment: the HID pad could not reach classic XInput, so defaulting to it would trade a known-working path for an unproven one. That objection is gone — with the `xinputhid` bus filter the INF now attaches, the HID pad is promoted like real hardware and keeps classic XInput while gaining everything XUSB never had (Steam, SDL, RawInput, DirectInput, joy.cpl, WGI) plus rumble, which XUSB could not source at all. The escape hatch stays because promotion leans on Microsoft's inbox `xinputhid.inf`; if a servicing update changes it, one env var restores the old behaviour with no reinstall. An unrecognised value takes the DEFAULT rather than the opt-out, so a typo cannot silently drop a user onto the path with no HID collection. WP-D — the `0xCA` rumble datagram gains a v3 form: v1 7 B: [0xCA][u16 pad][u16 low][u16 high] v2 10 B: … [u8 seq][u16 ttl_ms] v3 14 B: … [u16 lt][u16 rt] v3 is built FROM v2's bytes rather than restating the layout, so the prefix relationship is structural instead of a convention two encoders have to keep agreeing on, and every reader gates with `>=`. The four levels share one seq and one ttl on purpose: they are one statement of the pad's feedback at one instant, and sharing means the whole v2 apparatus — renewal cadence, stop burst, the client's seq gate, the lease clamp — governs the triggers with no new code. The new `RumbleUpdate` fields are plain `u16`, not `Option`: on a level-triggered plane "absent" must mean zero, because "absent → keep the previous value" is the stuck-rumble bug in a new costume. Only one backend can ever source them — the Windows HID Xbox pad, whose output report 0x03 carries them. `XINPUT_VIBRATION` and evdev `FF_RUMBLE` have two members and no third, so every other producer sends `lt = rt = 0`. ⚠️ The two TRIGGER `enable`-mask bits remain CONJECTURE. Bits 2/3 = left/right handle are measured; bit 0/1 = the triggers are inferred from field order and nothing else. `parse_xbox_output` says so inline, and no test asserts them — every test vector uses masks (0xFF, 0x00, 0x0C, 0xF3) whose expectations hold whichever bits turn out to be right. XInput cannot settle this: it has two motors. The INF tests — `hwid_matches_inf` matched the install section by the exact string `=pfGamepad,` and so stopped seeing the Xbox hardware ids the moment that identity moved to its own `pfGamepadXbox` section. It failed loudly, which is the good outcome; it is now prefix-matched and tolerant of further per-identity sections. Added `only_the_xbox_identity_installs_the_xinputhid_section`, which asserts the split in BOTH directions: the Xbox line must not install the shared section, and no other line may install the Xbox one. Merging them back is a one-line edit that looks like tidying and would hand a DualSense to Microsoft's Xbox translator. VERIFIED * ON WINDOWS (.173, the only place this code compiles): `cargo test -p pf-inject --lib` 104/104, including the new trigger tests and both INF tests; `cargo check -p punktfunk-host` clean. * macOS: `cargo fmt --all --check` clean; `cargo test -p punktfunk-core --features quic` rumble suite 22/22, including v3 round-trip and v3<->v2 cross-version parsing. * The pre-existing `c_abi_harness_round_trips` failure on macOS is `ld: library 'opus' not found` and reproduces with these changes stashed. NOT VERIFIED * No trigger rumble has ever been observed end to end — nothing can drive it yet (see the conjecture note above), and no client renders it. * The default flip has NOT been exercised in a real streaming session; every measurement so far came from the devtest harness. That is the on-glass run. * Non-Rust clients do not decode v3. They are blocked on a C ABI entry point first (`punktfunk_connection_next_rumble_cmd` has fixed out-params, ABI_VERSION 17); Apple could render it via GCHapticsLocality.leftTrigger/.rightTrigger, Android structurally cannot (its packed jlong is full) and has no trigger actuators anyway.	2026-08-09 21:10:08 +02:00
enricobuehler	77f0a25d18	feat(drivers/pf-gamepad): ship the xinputhid bus filter, so Windows finally promotes our Xbox pad ... The field report that started this work was an Xbox controller that no game could see on a Windows host for two weeks. Root cause was that our Xbox pad reaches no Windows input API a modern title uses. This is the fix, and it is two registry values. Windows promotes Xbox pads with `xinputhid`, whose INF is an explicit hardware-id ALLOW-LIST — its own comment says "we can not use a Compatability ID for the loading of this driver, and so rely on individual hardware IDs". A software-enumerated devnode can never match those ids, so we write what the matching install sections would have written. `045E:0B13`, the PID this identity already claimed, is on that allow-list twice, so the identity choice turned out to be exactly right. 🛑 THE PAIRING IS THE WHOLE FINDING, AND THE TWO VALUES GO IN DIFFERENT KEYS. `UpperFilters` is a `.HW` AddReg (hardware key); `DevicePropertyFlags` is a DDInstall AddReg (software key). A live A/B on .173: removing `DevicePropertyFlags` alone reverts EVERYTHING — no `IG_00`, no XUSB interface, no XInput, no WGI entry — while `UpperFilters` alone is completely inert. `1` = `BusDevice`, which Microsoft glosses as "a focused bus filter driver for the IG_ problem". It is not a description of the device, it is the switch. An earlier session installed the filter WITHOUT it, measured a device that produced nothing, and recorded "never ship it". The filter was never broken; it had never been switched on. That conclusion is now retracted. ⚠️ The Xbox line gets its OWN DDInstall section, `pfGamepadXbox`. All five identities previously shared `pfGamepad`, so an AddReg there would have handed a DualSense, DualShock 4, Edge and Steam Deck to Microsoft's Xbox translator. The regression check below exists for exactly that. MEASURED ON .173 (Win11 26200), INF-SHIPPED — no hand-written registry values: * `UpperFilters=xinputhid` lands on the hardware key and `DevicePropertyFlags=1` on the software key, applied by the INF at install. * The HID child gains the `IG_00` token: `HID\PUNKTFUNK&IG_00\...`. * An XUSB interface appears: `\\?\hid#punktfunk&ig_00#...#{ec87f1e3-...}`. * classic XInput reads it live — packets ADVANCING, `buttons=0x1000` (the devtest's A), and the stick sweeping. XInput had NEVER seen this backend before. * `XInputSetState` rumble round-trips: `rumble from game: pad=0 low=65535 high=32767`. * REGRESSION CHECK PASSED: with the DualSense identity up, its devnode has an EMPTY `UpperFilters` and no `DevicePropertyFlags`. The PlayStation pads are untouched. WGI `Gamepad` lists the pad but reads `ts=0`. That is NOT ours: a real Xbox Elite Series 2, promoted by Microsoft's own driver on the same box, reads `ts=0` in WGI at the very moment classic XInput is reading live data from it (`buttons=0x1000 LY=-32768`). Our pad is behaviourally indistinguishable from real hardware here; the row is a property of the non-interactive session. NOT VERIFIED * On-glass in a console session. Everything above ran over ssh, which is what makes the WGI row unreadable; the real-Elite control is what settles it, not a clean WGI reading. * GameInput — no binding in the `windows` crate, still unmeasured for this backend. * `PUNKTFUNK_XBOX_BACKEND` still defaults to XUSB. This changes what the HID backend CAN do; it does not change which backend is chosen. That is WP-E and it is a separate decision. * Trigger-actuator enable bits, still conjecture — `XINPUT_VIBRATION` has two members and cannot exercise them.	2026-08-09 20:18:49 +02:00
enricobuehler	f9fe496dbc	feat(drivers/pf-gamepad): declare the rumble output report, and the Xbox pad gets rumble at all ... `XBOX_RDESC` declared no OUTPUT item — zero `0x91` bytes. hidclass routes an output report only if the descriptor declares one, so `on_output_report` never fired, `publish_output` never wrote the out-ring, and `parse_xbox_output` in `inject/windows/xbox_windows.rs` was unreachable code. The entire host-side rumble plane was already built, wired and tested, and was simply never fed. The HID Xbox pad therefore had NO rumble whatsoever, not merely no trigger rumble. This appends the PID-page `Set Effect Report` collection, report id `0x03`, 8 payload bytes, sized to exactly the layout `parse_xbox_output` and `design/trigger-rumble-plane.md` §2.1 already specify. It is declared AFTER the final Input item and re-states every global it uses, so the 16-byte input layout `xbox_proto`'s tests pin is untouched. ⚠️ PROVENANCE: hand-written, and it could not be otherwise. The Elite capture taken for WP-A reports `OUTPUT items: 0` — Windows exposes no literal descriptor bytes and the reconstruction carries no output collection for that pad — so there was nothing to copy. The comment says so and asks for a Linux hidraw capture to replace it. Also adds a compile-time assert pairing every descriptor with its HID-descriptor `wReportLength`. Those are two copies of one length, edited in different places, and a mismatch fails SILENTLY: hidclass asks for `wReportLength` bytes, parses whatever it got, and the pad either enumerates truncated or not at all with nothing naming the cause. It now cannot build out of step. This caught nothing today because I updated both by hand, but it is exactly the trap this descriptor has already sprung twice in other forms. MEASURED ON .173 (Win11 26200), with the pad promoted via the WP-B0 xinputhid bus-filter config: * `XInputSetState(0xFFFF, 0x8000)` produced, on the host side, `rumble from game: pad=0 low=65535 high=32767` `rumble from game: pad=0 low=0 high=0` i.e. XInputSetState -> xinputhid -> HID output report 0x03 -> on_output_report -> out-ring -> parse_xbox_output -> PadFeedback. First rumble this backend has ever delivered. * The round-trip values confirm the descriptor's `Logical Maximum (100)` percent domain is right: 0x8000 -> 50% -> 32767. A 0..255 domain would have produced different numbers. * This also answers `trigger-rumble-plane.md`'s WP0 gate — YES, Windows writes output reports to a synthesized 045E:0B13 — which was blocking the whole trigger plane. * classic XInput reads the pad fully: packets advancing, `buttons=0x1000` (the devtest's A), and `LX [-32768..31744]`, the complete sweep. LY/RX/RY frozen is correct; the devtest drives only LS-X and A. VERIFIED * `cargo test -p pf-inject --lib xbox` 11/11 — the input layout is byte-identical, as intended. * `hid-descriptor-dump --rust-source ... --symbol XBOX_RDESC` decodes it clean: input report 0x01 unchanged at 16 bytes and the same offsets, new output report 0x03 at 9 bytes on the wire, feature 0x85 unchanged, `structure: OK`. * Driver builds and signs on .173 with the WDK; the new const asserts compile, so all five descriptor/wReportLength pairs agree. * fmt clean on both tools; .173 fully reverted afterwards. NOT VERIFIED * The enable-mask bit assignments for the two TRIGGER actuators. `XINPUT_VIBRATION` has only two members, so XInput can never drive them and this run could not exercise them. Still open, as trigger-rumble-plane.md WP0 says. * That this equals the real pad's output collection, byte for byte. Needs Linux hidraw. * Nothing about the INF is changed: `pf_gamepad.inx` still has no AddReg, so none of the promotion config ships. The rumble descriptor is inert until something drives it.	2026-08-09 20:07:34 +02:00
enricobuehler	13438b1287	test(tools): ask Windows which input APIs can see the pad, and find what promotes it ... The Xbox-pad-on-Windows programme is a five-row matrix — classic XInput, WGI `Gamepad`, WGI `RawGameController`, GameInput, and the HID/DirectInput/Steam family — and nothing in this tree measured any of it. Every reading in the handoff came from ad-hoc off-tree tools, which is why several could not be reproduced later and why one was a false positive. `win-input-matrix` makes the matrix a command you can run twice and diff. Two traps are baked into it because both have already cost this programme a wrong conclusion. `--watch` samples repeatedly and reports LIVE vs MUTE per device, because an API listing a pad that never reports is the exact failure mode here — worse than not listing it, since a title that binds the first gamepad latches a dead one. And the doc comment insists on a baseline with the virtual pad STOPPED: a real Xbox pad owns XInput slot 0, which is how `rc=0 LX=-885` was once read as success with our pad already killed. ⭐ `wake_wgi()` is not optional and is commented as such. `Gamepad::Gamepads()` and `RawGameController::RawGameControllers()` return a cache filled by WGI's device-watcher, which a GUI app has already started and a console app has not. Without subscribing to the Added events first, BOTH collections come back empty with real controllers attached — measured here: a DualSense sitting in the HID interface class, `RawGameControllers` count=0. A probe missing this reports "WGI cannot see the pad" when WGI could not see anything. WHAT IT FOUND (full record in measurements/2026-08-09-xbox-hid-xinputhid-busfilter.md): with `UpperFilters=xinputhid` on the pad's PARENT devnode AND `DevicePropertyFlags=1` in that parent's SOFTWARE key, the HID Xbox pad is promoted for the first time — the child gains the `IG_00` token, an XUSB interface appears, classic XInput admits it, and WGI `Gamepad` lists it. All four had never happened on this backend. A one-value A/B proves `DevicePropertyFlags` is the decisive half: removing it alone reverts all four. That retro-explains the earlier "the filter installs fine and produces nothing" result — the filter was loading without ever being put in bus-filter mode, which is what `BusDevice = 0x1` means in Microsoft's own comment in `xinputhid.inf`. Not a workspace member, for the same reason as `hid-descriptor-dump`: it is a Windows-only bring-your-own-hardware tool with no business on a CI leg. VERIFIED * `cargo fmt --check` clean; `cargo clippy --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean (cross-checked from macOS; the target is installed). * Builds and runs on .173 (Win11 26200). * Self-checked against known-good hardware before any conclusion was drawn from it: baseline reads the USB DualSense as LIVE in both WGI collections and the resting 8BitDo as MUTE. * The A/B was run in both directions on the same box in one session. * `cargo metadata` on the root workspace resolves and does NOT list this crate. * .173 fully reverted: registry values removed, devnodes removed, oem100.inf deleted, both certs delstored, 6 pre-existing pf_gamepad packages and the production service untouched. NOT VERIFIED * GameInput — no binding in the `windows` crate, needs hand-written COM vtables. Not covered; the doc comment says so. * That the promotion survives a reboot or a devnode re-create from a shipped INF `AddReg` rather than a hand-written registry value. Nothing is shipped: `pf_gamepad.inx` is UNCHANGED and still contains no AddReg of any kind. * WHY the promoted pad still translates no data. Enumeration is fixed; translation is not. The evidence points at the report descriptor, which is gated on the §3.3 decision.	2026-08-09 19:24:28 +02:00
enricobuehler	ae35e8b4d7	test(tools): capture the real Xbox descriptor, because ours was invented and disagrees with it ... `XBOX_RDESC` is the only report descriptor in `pf-gamepad` that was hand-written rather than captured off hardware, and its own provenance warning has now come true three times. The fix for that class of bug is not another careful reading — it is a tool that goes and asks the device. `tools/hid-descriptor-dump` does that: it dumps a real HID device's report descriptor, decodes it into an annotated item listing plus a bit-offset LAYOUT TABLE, and can decode a blob we already ship through the same decoder (`--rust-source <file> --symbol <NAME>`) so the two are diffable line for line. `--read N` pulls live wire bytes, which is the only ground truth a reconstructed descriptor cannot give you. Deliberately NOT a workspace member — it pulls `hidapi`, a C library wanting libudev on Linux, which has no business in `cargo build --workspace` or on a CI leg with no pad attached. It is a bring-your-own-hardware tool and it is excluded in the root manifest, so CI never sees it. The captured Elite disagrees with our blob in four ways, and the dangerous one is field ORDER: the real pad reports sticks, ONE combined 16-bit Z trigger, then BUTTONS, then the hat, in an UNNUMBERED 15-byte report; ours declares Report ID 1, two Simulation-page trigger axes, then the hat, then 15 buttons. Since we claim a genuine Microsoft VID/PID and SDL/Steam/Windows all apply stock mappings keyed on it, that ordering difference is exactly how every control silently lands on the wrong action. The driver comment now records the diff and the two blockers that stop the capture from simply being pasted in. VERIFIED * `cargo fmt --check` clean, `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` clean (macOS). * The tool builds and runs on macOS and on .173 (Windows 11 26200, cargo 1.96, MSVC, no WDK). * TOOL VALIDATED AGAINST A KNOWN-GOOD CONTROL: pointed at the live DualSense on .173, it reproduces the real `DUALSENSE_RDESC` layout exactly (input 0x01, 64 B, X,Y,Z,Rz,Rx,Ry at bytes 1..6, hat 8.0, 15 buttons 8.4, output 0x02, the full feature ladder), and `--read` returned live len=64 reports with sticks centred at 80 80 80 80 and the counter incrementing. * `cargo metadata` on the root workspace still resolves and does NOT list this crate. * The Elite capture is reproducible: `--vid 045E --pid 0B22`. NOT VERIFIED * That the capture equals the pad's NATIVE report map. Windows exposes no API for a device's literal descriptor bytes, so hidapi reconstructs from `HidD_GetPreparsedData` — faithful in structure, item order and bit offsets, not byte-exact (measured: the DualSense's real 273-byte descriptor reconstructs to 467). `xinputhid` also filters that pad, and the captured shape is the legacy DirectInput view. A byte-exact answer needs Linux hidraw. * Why the Elite returned ZERO input reports across two runs (72 s and 90 s) while the DualSense streamed fine on the same code path — untouched pad, or exclusive claim by the XInput translator. Unresolved. * Nothing here was built on Windows as a driver: `XBOX_RDESC` itself is UNCHANGED, so no behaviour changes. The only edit to the driver is its provenance comment.	2026-08-09 19:02:13 +02:00
enricobuehler	f34acf1d73	fix(drivers/pf-gamepad): the Xbox descriptor never declared the channel-proof report, so the pad served neutral forever ... `XBOX_RDESC` declared only Input report 1. The sealed pad channel delivers its DATA section over a vendor Feature report `0x85` (`ProofTransport::HidFeatureReport`), and the proof handler's own comment records the assumption that made this invisible — "0x85 is already declared as a Feature report in all three captured descriptors". True of the captured PlayStation blobs; false of this hand-constructed one. So hidclass rejected the host's `HidD_GetFeature` before the driver ever saw it, the host refused to hand over the section, and the pad answered every read with its neutral report. The HID Xbox pad had never delivered a single input report since it was written. Declaring `0x85` with a 63-byte payload (1 id + 63 = 64 = FeatureReportByteLength) fixes it. Verified on glass on .173: `gamepad driver attached to the shared section proto=3 late=false`, and WGI's RawGameController path then reads the pad live — advancing timestamps, the devtest's left-stick sweep, buttons toggling. Before the fix: 12 consecutive samples, one frozen timestamp, every axis at dead centre. This is the descriptor-provenance warning in this file coming true. It is still CONSTRUCTED rather than captured, and that remains the open risk — `xinputhid` appears to validate the descriptor and refuses ours, and a real Elite is a multi-collection device where ours has one. Codec layout tests still 11/11; fmt clean. Only device_type 4 is affected, which nothing shipping uses yet.	2026-08-09 18:16:24 +02:00
enricobuehler	d2a2bcc25d	feat(drivers/pf-xusb): answer the async input wait, and put xinputhid on the stack ... The two things this driver's README has always listed as the missing WGI/GameInput work, both user-mode, neither needing a bus driver: `IOCTL_XUSB_WAIT_FOR_INPUT` is now pended on a manual queue and completed by the periodic timer on a dwPacketNumber edge, answering with the same 29-byte GET_STATE payload the synchronous path serves. Declining it was enough for classic xinput1_4, which just falls back to sync GET_STATE polling — that is why the pad has always worked there. It is not enough for WGI/GameInput, which poll asynchronously: to them a decline is a refusal, not a fallback. Completion is edge-gated because releasing a waiter on an unchanged packet spins its caller at timer rate. WAIT_GUIDE_BUTTON stays declined — we have no state to signal on. The INF adds UpperFilters=xinputhid on the XUSB devnode. Note the earlier attempt put that filter on the HID child of the *other* backend, which was simply the wrong devnode: XInput does not read HID at all, it enumerates GUID_DEVINTERFACE_XUSB, which is what this driver registers. Verified on .173: build + sign + catalog exit 0; infverif "INF is VALID"; the devnode starts Status OK with UpperFilters=xinputhid readable back from its enum key; and XInput still sees the pad (slot 1 live alongside the box's real Elite in slot 0), so the async queue is no regression to the path that already worked. NOT yet measured: whether WGI/GameInput now admit the pad. `IG_` is the wrong probe for this driver — it is a HID-path artifact and pf-xusb is System-class with no HID child, so its absence says nothing either way. That needs a real WinRT/GameInput enumeration test.	2026-08-09 17:29:10 +02:00
enricobuehler	4e04c2bbf8	feat(host/pads): route the Xbox pad to the HID backend behind PUNKTFUNK_XBOX_BACKEND=hid ... Wires `xbox_windows` into the per-pad router so an Xbox-family pad can be built as a real HID device instead of the XUSB companion, and adds the knob that selects between them. Opt-in rather than the new default, deliberately. XUSB is what classic-XInput games read today; the HID pad buys the Steam / WGI / GameInput / DirectInput visibility XUSB can never have, but whether Windows promotes it into an Xbox-profile device that XInput and WGI Gamepad accept is still the open question. Flipping the default before that is settled would trade a known-working path for an unproven one. The two backends are mutually exclusive per pad by construction — one match arm or the other — because presenting both hands a game two controllers for one pair of hands. Verified on .173: cargo check -p punktfunk-host exit 0, clippy -D warnings clean, `cargo test -p punktfunk-host gamepad` 8/8 green, fmt clean.	2026-08-09 17:03:25 +02:00
enricobuehler	d498ff4a60	test(drivers): give the Xbox identity a root-enumerated id, and verify the whole thing on Windows ... `root\pf_xboxwireless` alongside the plain id, mirroring the DualSense model line — the INF already documents that variant as the one devgen/devcon tests bind, and without it the Xbox identity could only be exercised through a running host. Verified end to end on .173 (Windows 11 26200, WDK 10.0.26100.0): - build-gamepad-drivers.ps1 builds + signs + catalogs the driver, exit 0 - infverif /v /w on the generated pf_gamepad.inf: "INF is VALID" - pnputil stages the package; devgen creates the devnode; it starts clean: Status OK, Class HIDClass, "Punktfunk Virtual Xbox Wireless Controller" - it enumerates a HID child, Status OK, carrying HID_DEVICE_SYSTEM_GAME and HID_DEVICE_UP:0001_U:0005 — Windows parsed the constructed report descriptor and classified the pad as a Game Pad (usage page 0x01, usage 0x05), which is precisely what pf-xusb could never do Test devnode, phantom child, driver package and both certs were removed afterwards. Two build gotchas worth knowing, both already handled inside build-gamepad-drivers.ps1 and both of which cost a cycle here: CARGO_TARGET_DIR pointing outside the workspace breaks wdk-sys (wdk-build walks up from OUT_DIR looking for a Cargo.lock and finds none), and the WDK version must be pinned via Version_Number=10.0.26100.0 or bindgen picks SDK 10.0.28000.0, which ships no km/crt headers. Still open: the SwDeviceCreate USB identity (HID\VID_045E&PID_0B13) cannot be checked through a devgen node, which has no USB hardware ids — that needs the host path. So the WGI-promotion question is still unanswered, and host routing is still unwritten.	2026-08-09 16:54:00 +02:00
enricobuehler	99f2130b28	feat(host/pads): the Windows Xbox backend, compiled and tested on Windows ... Adds `xbox_windows` — the host half of the HID Xbox pad: the sealed-channel open under the Bluetooth identity (SwDeviceCreate `pf_xboxwireless` + `USB\VID_045E&PID_0B13`, so hidclass derives the real-pad `HID\VID_045E&PID_0B13` child ids), device_type 4 stamped before the magic, and the `PadProto` impl that publishes through `xbox_proto`. No rich plane: an Xbox pad has no touchpad, lightbar, adaptive triggers or IMU in its HID contract, so apply_rich/clear_rich/neutralize_gyro are deliberately no-ops. Rumble comes back off the driver's republished output reports. The Bluetooth rumble report carries magnitudes on a 0..100 scale, not 0..255 — assuming otherwise silently costs 60% of the range — and the enable mask gates each motor independently. The two INF/driver guard tests now cover the new identity. `hwid_devtype_table_matches _the_driver` caught the addition on its vacuity count, which is exactly what it is for. Verified on the Arc laptop (.221, Win11 26200): `cargo test -p pf-inject --lib` 100/100 green, `cargo clippy --lib --profile test -- -D warnings` clean, fmt clean. Note `clippy --all-targets` fails there on a PRE-EXISTING issue unrelated to this change — tests/motion_contract.rs imports the linux-gated `switch_proto`. Still unbuilt: the driver itself (.221 has no WDK) and the host routing that would send an Xbox pad here instead of to XUSB. The report descriptor remains constructed rather than captured — diff it against a real pad before shipping.	2026-08-09 12:24:14 +02:00
enricobuehler	f266636392	feat(host/pads): an Xbox pad on Windows becomes a real HID device, so Steam can see it ... `pf-xusb` registers only GUID_DEVINTERFACE_XUSB and exposes no HID collection, so Steam's hidapi enumeration, DirectInput, joy.cpl and WGI/GameInput cannot see the pad at all — only classic XInputGetState via xinput1_4's interface walk ever does. A reporter spent two weeks on a dead controller for exactly that reason; switching the client to DualSense, a real HID pad through the pf-gamepad UMDF driver, fixed it in seconds. This gives the Xbox pad that same footing: a new device_type 4 on the existing HID minidriver, identified as a Bluetooth Xbox Wireless Controller (045E:0B13). The wired ids the tree already uses (045E:028E, 045E:02EA) are vendor-class XUSB/GIP devices with no HID interface on real hardware, so a HID child claiming one is a device that has never existed and has nothing for Windows to promote. Driver: identity, a constructed 132-byte Game Pad report descriptor, neutral report, strings and the pf_xboxwireless hardware id. Host: `xbox_proto`, the byte-exact codec mirroring that descriptor, with 11 layout tests. One shared-path fix falls out. The timer completed every pended READ_REPORT with the full 64-byte slot, and `copy_to_output` REFUSES a source longer than hidclass's buffer rather than truncating it — so a pad declaring a shorter report would have failed every read and looked dead. Report length is now per-identity; it returns 64 for all four pre-existing pads, so their behaviour is provably unchanged. NOT BUILT AND NOT RUN ON WINDOWS — no box was reachable. The Rust codec and its tests pass on macOS; the driver, the INF and the report descriptor have never been compiled, infverif'd, or seen by a real pad. The descriptor is constructed rather than captured, which matters because we claim a real Microsoft VID/PID and SDL/Steam/Windows carry stock mappings keyed off it — diff it against a capture before shipping.	2026-08-09 12:11:04 +02:00

enricobuehler	0f79587dd6	docs(release): the notes claimed a privilege 0.26.0 deliberately does not grant ... The user-facing v0.26.0 notes said, of the PyroWave GPU-priority lever: "it is now, and the package grants the host the permission that switch needs" That was true of 0.26.0-1 and is now the opposite of true. Granting CAP_SYS_NICE made the host unidentifiable to KWin and killed desktop streaming on every KDE box across all five Linux channels, so 0.26.0-2 revokes it everywhere and must keep doing so. The lever is wired natively on Linux for the first time — that part stands — but it is dormant on an ordinary install, and the notes have to say so rather than advertise a speed-up nobody gets. CHANGELOG.md was already corrected in #136 (the 0.26.0-2 note under PW1 and the qualifier on the owed A/B). This is the user-facing half, which #136 did not touch: * the PyroWave bullet now leads with what DID land (two encoder handles, the capture buffer headroom) and describes the priority switch as present but dormant, with the reason. * a new Fixed entry for the KDE breakage itself. Worth telling users even though the release was never announced: 0.26.0-1 packages did reach the registries, and anyone who pulled one has a desktop session that fails with a missing-screencast error surviving a clean reinstall. It also explains the dormancy the bullet above now refers to. Deliberately NOT written as a "Before you update" action: upgrading strips the capability by itself on every channel, so there is nothing for a reader to do. Commit count 47 -> 52. Voice check clean (0 internal-vocabulary hits above "## For developers"); notes 67 lines.	2026-08-09 10:12:58 +02:00

enricobuehler	4d383811c0	fix(packaging): the same CAP_SYS_NICE broke KDE on FIVE channels, not one — Bazzite included ... The Arch fix in the previous commit was incomplete. 0.26.0-1 granted the host CAP_SYS_NICE through every Linux channel we ship, and each one breaks KWin identification the same way: * packaging/rpm/punktfunk.spec .......... %caps(cap_sys_nice=ep) in %files <- Fedora AND Bazzite via rpm-ostree layering * packaging/bazzite/build-sysext.sh ..... setcap on the staging tree, recorded by mksquashfs * packaging/debian/build-deb.sh ......... setcap in the postinst * packaging/nix/nixos-module.nix ........ security.wrappers with capabilities = "cap_sys_nice=ep" * scripts/steamdeck/install.sh .......... setcap on $BIN, six lines after writing the .desktop whose Exec= it thereby voids Bazzite was NOT a separate fault, as first reported here — it is this one. Verified by mounting the published punktfunk-0.26.0-1-x86-64.raw: `getcap usr/bin/punktfunk-host` reports cap_sys_nice=ep, stored as security.capability in the squashfs. The claim in packaging/arch/build-sysext.sh that "file capabilities don't survive this squashfs path" is false and is corrected here; mksquashfs records them, which is exactly why the image shipped one. NixOS deserves its own note: a security.wrappers entry does not dodge the problem. The wrapper raises the capability into its AMBIENT set before exec'ing the store binary, precisely so it survives — which lands CAP_SYS_NICE in the exec'd process's permitted set and fails the readlink identically to a file capability. ExecStart now points at the store path directly, which is also the path packages.nix substitutes into the .desktop's Exec=, so the two finally agree. Measured blast radius of holding a capability, same-uid reader, CachyOS kernel 7.1.6: /proc/PID/exe ....... EPERM <- KWin's identification. Desktop sessions die. /proc/PID/root/* .... EPERM <- xdg-desktop-portal reads .flatpak-info here to resolve an app id; the wlroots and Hyprland backends go through it /proc/PID/environ ... EPERM /proc/PID/cgroup .... OK /proc/PID/status .... OK /proc/PID/cmdline ... OK Compositor backends, by exposure: KWin is broken outright (proven, field-confirmed). gamescope has no identity gate and was never affected, which matches the field — only Desktop mode was reported. Mutter drives Mutter's own D-Bus API, not the portal, and looks unaffected. wlroots and Hyprland go through the ScreenCast portal, whose app-id resolution reads a path the capability blocks — a real exposure, not something I reproduced end to end. The sysext build now HARD-FAILS if a capability is staged, rather than trusting that the RPM payload never carries one: a merged sysext's /usr is read-only squashfs, so a bad image cannot be repaired on the box, and the spec was one %caps() away from baking one in again. Docs corrected, because they advertised the capability as a feature: * docs-site running-as-a-service "GPU scheduling priority" — rewritten: the host carries no capability, why it must not, and how to clear a 0.26.0-1 install (Bazzite needs a new image) * docs-site configuration.md — the PYROWAVE_QUEUE_PRIORITY row no longer claims the packages grant it * packaging/bazzite/README.md — §6.5 still described the kde-desktop-setup.sh behaviour from before it stopped writing KWIN_WAYLAND_NO_PERMISSION_CHECKS and started REMOVING it; plus a note that 0.26.0-1 Desktop mode cannot be repaired in place * packaging/arch/README.md — the false "capabilities don't survive the sysext" line * CHANGELOG v0.26.0 PW1 — annotated with the 0.26.0-2 correction rather than rewritten, and the owed PyroWave-under-load A/B now says it needs a gamescope-only box Verified: bash -n on all five changed shell files; nix-instantiate --parse on nixos-module.nix and packages.nix; the published 0.26.0-1 sysext mounted and its capability read; getcap on an uncapped file exits 0 with empty output, so the new build assertion cannot false-positive.	2026-08-09 09:56:36 +02:00
enricobuehler	42ee6c5628	fix(packaging): the host's CAP_SYS_NICE made it invisible to KWin, killing every KDE session ... 0.26.0-1 setcap'd `cap_sys_nice=ep` on /usr/bin/punktfunk-host so the encoder could open an elevated global-priority Vulkan queue. On every KDE box that ended desktop streaming outright: KWin virtual output failed: KWin does not expose zkde_screencast_unstable_v1 to this client reported from CachyOS on NVIDIA and on AMD, surviving a clean reinstall of host and client, and worked around only by KWIN_WAYLAND_NO_PERMISSION_CHECKS=1. The two cannot coexist. KWin hands out its restricted protocols — zkde_screencast_unstable_v1, which mints our virtual output, and org_kde_kwin_fake_input, which injects input — only to a client it can IDENTIFY, by resolving that client's /proc/<pid>/exe and matching it against an installed .desktop's Exec=. The kernel refuses that readlink to any reader whose effective set is not a superset of the target's PERMITTED set (cap_ptrace_access_check), and KWin holds no capabilities. So the instant the binary carries one, KWin's executablePath() is empty, nothing matches, and the global is never advertised — presenting exactly as a missing or mis-installed .desktop file. Measured on CachyOS (kernel 7.1.6), same-uid reader, cap_sys_nice=ep on the target: no capability .............................. readlink /proc/<pid>/exe OK capability ................................. EPERM capability + prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1) ..... EPERM <- dumpable is NOT the gate capability dropped + PR_SET_DUMPABLE(1) .... OK <- only an uncapped process works The third row also rules out the reflex fix of moving the grant to systemd AmbientCapabilities=, which lands CAP_SYS_NICE in the very same permitted set. Nothing short of not holding the capability restores identification, so the host does not get one. The cost is pacing only. pf-zerocopy's device create already walks REALTIME -> HIGH -> default when a priority class is refused, and pf-frame's thread nice is a documented best-effort no-op without the capability — so this is 0.25.0's behaviour exactly, which is the behaviour that worked. * packaging/arch/punktfunk-host.install: grant -> revoke. post_upgrade strips the capability from boxes that already ran 0.26.0-1's scriptlet. A pacman upgrade writes a new inode and file capabilities do not survive that, so this is belt-and-braces for reinstall/downgrade paths. * pf-vdisplay kwin.rs: all three "KWin does not expose zkde_screencast" errors now read /proc/self/status and, if this process holds ANY capability, name it with its CapPrm mask and the `setcap -r` that repairs it. The failure stays impossible to diagnose from the Wayland side otherwise, and it is not unique to our own packaging — a hand-rolled setcap does it too. Verified on 192.168.1.21 (CachyOS): the capability/dumpable matrix above; cargo check and cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings clean for pf-vdisplay; both new unit tests pass; and the hint itself exercised end-to-end, silent uncapped and firing with CapPrm=0x0000000000800000 under cap_sys_nice=ep. The shipped punktfunk-host-0.26.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst was unpacked to confirm its .INSTALL carries the setcap on both post_install and post_upgrade. Ships as 0.26.0-2 — packaging plus one crate, no version bump.	2026-08-09 09:37:30 +02:00

enricobuehler	39869031be	fix(ci): the gamescope RPM and .deb never built, and a warning let the tag ship anyway ... v0.26.0's notes and docs-site say the patched gamescope is now installable on Fedora and on Debian/Ubuntu. Neither package exists on the release. Both builds failed inside best-effort steps that emit `::warning::` and return 0, so every job stayed green and the only evidence was a warning nobody reads. Arch built fine, which is why it is the sole gamescope package attached. Two distinct missing build deps, same root cause: `dnf builddep gamescope` / `apt-get build-dep gamescope` resolve the DISTRO'S OLDER PACKAGED gamescope, which does not need what the pinned master tree needs. Fedora (f43 AND f44) /usr/sbin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++ have you installed the static version of the stdc++ library ? ERROR: Compiler sccache c++ cannot compile programs. build-punktfunk-gamescope.sh appends `-static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc` to LDFLAGS deliberately, so the binary still starts on SteamOS's older libstdc++. Without libstdc++-static that trips meson's very FIRST sanity check, so nothing builds at all. Debian/Ubuntu noble protocol/meson.build:7:17: ERROR: Neither a subproject directory nor a wayland-protocols.wrap file was found. The tree carries no wrap fallback for wayland-protocols. Both proven deps are installed WITHOUT `|| true` so a rename is loud. The remaining Arch makedepends the older packaged gamescope may not pull (glm, cmake, libXcursor, wayland-protocols-devel on Fedora) stay best-effort, since meson finds fallbacks and a name that moves between releases should not fail the job. And the part that actually matters: on `refs/tags/v*` a missing gamescope is now an ERROR, not a warning. A release must not be able to make a claim its own CI silently dropped. Gated in two places per platform — the build step, and the packaging step that is authoritative and also covers the cache path (the build step is skipped entirely on a cache hit, so a stale cache would otherwise reach packaging and skip in silence). Canary keeps the old best-effort behaviour. Deliberately NOT gated: the sysext leg. The notes make no claim about gamescope inside the sysext, and with the build fixed gs-cache is populated so it gets the binary anyway — gating it would add release-blocking risk with no matching promise. ⚠ Verification is CI itself: both YAML files parse, and every gamescope-touching `run:` block is `bash -n` clean with the matrix placeholders substituted. The dep names cannot be proven from macOS; the rpm and deb legs on the next tag are the proof, and they are now hard-gated, so a wrong name fails loudly instead of shipping another empty promise.	2026-08-09 09:22:20 +02:00

The v0.26.0 tag went red on windows-host at the clippy step, after a clean build: error: function `wire_sequence` is never used --> crates\pf-encode\src\enc\pyrowave_wire.rs:68:15 = note: `-D dead-code` implied by `-D warnings` `pyrowave_wire` is cfg'd for linux OR windows and is genuinely shared — `packet_boundary` and `stamp_color_bits` each have callers on both backends. `wire_sequence` does not: every call site is in `enc/linux/pyrowave.rs`, which is `#[cfg(all(target_os = "linux", feature = "pyrowave"))]`. Alternating encoder handles are a Linux-side concern (PW5); the Windows backend drives pyrowave's compat device with a single handle and never needs the counter. The module's own `#[cfg(test)]` block does not reference it either, so on Windows the item has zero callers in every target and dead_code is correct — it is the `-D warnings` promotion to a hard error that stops the lib compiling. Scoped to the one item rather than the file, and expressed as `cfg_attr(not(target_os = "linux"), ...)` rather than a bare `allow`, so dead_code stays LIVE on Linux — where the caller lives, and where this function quietly losing its last caller would be a real finding rather than noise. ⚠ Not reproducible off a Windows box: cross-compiling to x86_64-pc-windows-msvc from macOS dies in openh264-sys2's build script (clang++ rejects `-fPIC` for that target) long before the lint stage. The mechanism is nonetheless exact — one item, one cfg, zero callers behind it — and the windows-host and windows-msix legs are the proof. No behaviour change on any platform: this adds a lint attribute and eight lines of comment.	2026-08-09 01:43:54 +02:00

enricobuehler	e5180a5b7d	chore(release): bump workspace version to 0.26.0 ... 47 commits since v0.25.0, most of them from field reports on 0.25.0 itself, plus Wave 2 of the PyroWave Linux host-performance program. Nothing breaks: the wire protocol stays at 2 and the C ABI stays at 17, so this release adds no call, no message and no capability bit. pf-driver-proto is byte-for-byte identical to v0.25.0 and to v0.24.0. Four new environment variables (PUNKTFUNK_OVERLAY_MASK, PUNKTFUNK_GAMESCOPE_REFRESH_RATES, PUNKTFUNK_PYROWAVE_CHUNK_KIB, PUNKTFUNK_PYROWAVE_STREAMED_AU), verified new by git grep at the v0.25.0 tag rather than assumed. plugin-kit goes 0.3.2 -> 0.4.0 for the `plugin` launch kind; the SDK goes 0.1.2 -> 0.1.4; gamescope patch level +pfhdr2 -> +pfhdr4. Two behaviour changes make a client advertise LESS than it used to, both deliberate: VIDEO_CAP_444 is now probed against the driver rather than ridden off the setting alone (every Steam Deck with "Full chroma" on was losing HEVC entirely, not crispness — no AMD silicon decodes HEVC 4:4:4), and the Decky client-update check now reports a failure instead of dressing it up as "up to date". Bump is the same four files as 0.25.0: Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, docs/releases/v0.26.0.md, docs/releases/whatsnew/v0.26.0.txt — plus the CHANGELOG.md section, which the split at 0.25.0 made part of the ritual. Gates run locally, all green: * cargo fmt --all --check clean * cargo metadata --locked resolves * Cargo.lock diff versions-only, 70/70 changed lines, 35 crates * Play whatsnew gate 398/500 chars, not byte-identical to any other release * notes voice check 0 internal-vocabulary hits above "## For developers" Notes are 66 lines against 0.25.0's 83, covering 47 commits.

enricobuehler	5cbaca7789	feat(client/pads): stop forwarding the pad while the Steam overlay owns it ... On a Deck in Gaming Mode the Steam menu and the QAM are driven by the SAME physical controller the client forwards, so opening either one moved the game on the host as well as Steam's UI — a second, invisible player. Steam Input masks a normal game here; it cannot mask us, because masking happens on Steam Input's virtual pad and we deliberately forward the REAL one (28DE:1205 — the virtual pad has no gyro, trackpads or paddles). SDL ships the exact behaviour we want and it is on by default: presses are dropped while the process has windows but no keyboard focus, releases still get through. It CANNOT fire on a Deck. gamescope resolves focus per Xwayland ctx and the client sits alone in its own, so the Steam overlay — which lives in the root ctx — never takes our X focus away and no FocusOut is ever generated. Measured on glass: with the QAM open, X input focus inside the client's ctx stayed on its window for the whole 4 s, while GAMESCOPE_FOCUSED_APP flipped to 769 (Steam) and GAMESCOPE_FOCUSED_APP_GFX stayed on the app. So the signal is explicit. `overlay_focus` watches those two atoms on the gamescope root ctx — which is NOT our own $DISPLAY under `--xwayland-count 2`, hence the socket-directory walk and the flatpak filesystem line — and the presenter ORs it with window focus into one `set_masked`. Masking is deliberately not `set_forwarding`: that closes the slot and sends GamepadRemove, so the game would see a controller UNPLUG every time somebody opened the QAM. This keeps every slot open and only stops the transitions, after flushing what the host believes is held so a stick deflected at overlay-open stops steering instead of freezing at its last value. On the way back, held buttons are adopted rather than replayed — the A that picked a QAM row must not fire in the game as it closes — while axes are re-sent, since a stick has no press to ghost and SDL only speaks on change. Fails open throughout: no gamescope, no X, or an unreadable signal all leave forwarding exactly as it was. `PUNKTFUNK_OVERLAY_MASK=0` opts out.	2026-08-09 00:55:16 +02:00

It also carries `SyncError.message`, without which a host refusal reaches a plugin's own UI as the bare tag `SyncError` and nothing else. Unblocks rom-manager, whose main is currently RED: it merged the consuming change while still pinning `^0.2.0`, so `bun install --frozen-lockfile` there resolves a kit without these exports and the typecheck fails on all three. Publishing this and then bumping that pin is the fix — in that order, because the lockfile cannot resolve 0.4.0 until it exists on the registry. Tag `plugin-kit-v0.4.0` to publish; the workflow asserts the tag matches this version.	2026-08-09 00:52:37 +02:00

enricobuehler	7d37fe450d	test(pf-encode): run PyroWave at depth 2 on real hardware — without shipping depth 2 ... Wave-2 PW5, the stage-6 experiment. Shipped behaviour is UNCHANGED: `max_inflight` is still 1. Stage 6 is the frame-corruption stage, and its gate is an on-glass tear-hunt with a live compositor, a real client and ten minutes of moving content. That is not runnable from here. But the depth-2 risk has two halves, and one of them lives entirely in this crate — the per-slot resources (`cmd`/`fence`/`csc_set`/y/uv/cursor) and the alternating encoder handles — so that half can be answered now, on the GPU, and the answer is worth having before anyone attempts the other. The experiment drives the backend with two frames genuinely in flight (submit N+1, then poll N) and compares the result against the encoder's OWN synchronous output over the same 16 moving frames. Its own depth-1 decode is the honest reference: pyrowave's raw AU bytes are not reproducible run-to-run (see the stage-3 commit), but its decoded planes are. RESULT, .21 / RTX 5070 Ti (GPU idle at 180 MHz of 3090 — the slow-clock worst case on this card): depth-2 vs depth-1 over 16 frames: worst-case PSNR identical (inf) Bit-identical luma, every frame, in order. So stages 4 and 5 between them are sufficient for the encoder side: doubling the six single-slot resources and alternating two `pyrowave_encoder` handles under one monotonic wire sequence really does make overlap invisible to the decoder. The test is built to fail rather than to pass. Content MOVES every frame (flat fills are the documented false-green trap — a torn frame stitched from two halves of a static card is invisible), it asserts two frames were ACTUALLY in flight rather than silently proving nothing, it asserts the AU count is unchanged, and it carries an off-by-one discriminator that raw PSNR would miss: each overlapped frame must match its own reference BETTER than it matches the previous one, so a pipeline delivering frames one position late fails even though every individual PSNR looks fine. It reaches `max_inflight` directly instead of through a shipped knob, precisely so the shipped value stays 1. ⚠ WHAT THIS DOES NOT COVER, stated here so the next person does not read it as a green light for stage 6: the CAPTURE side. `.process` hands the SPA buffer back to the compositor at callback return while the encode thread holds only a dup of its dmabuf fd, so a second frame in flight widens the window in which the producer may overwrite a buffer we are still reading by a full frame period. Nothing in this crate can test that — it needs a live producer. Stages 1 and 2 are what make it answerable (the pool census says how deep the producer's ring is; the Choice range asks for headroom), and the on-glass hunt is what would settle it. Gates green at CI parity.	2026-08-09 00:30:25 +02:00
enricobuehler	077db416ec	feat(pf-encode): two PyroWave encoder handles, and the 3-bit landmine that makes them work ... Wave-2 PW5 stage 5. Depth is STILL 1 — the handles alternate per frame, one in flight. PyroWave's `Encoder` cannot hold two frames. Not "probably not" — structurally not. `Encoder::Impl` owns ONE each of `wavelet_img_high_res`, `bucket_buffer`, `meta_buffer`, `block_stat_buffer`, `payload_data` and `quant_buffer`, and `Impl::encode` OPENS by discarding them: an image barrier with `VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED` as the old layout — a written promise that nothing else is reading it — plus three `fill_buffer` clears. Two encodes recorded into two command buffers and submitted to one queue have no execution dependency in Vulkan (submission order orders the START, not the completion), so N+1's DWT would overwrite the wavelet bands and zero the RDO buckets while N's block packing still reads them. Content-dependent, silent. So overlap means TWO handles on one device, alternated — one per slot. Every resource above is then private per handle, and within a handle the encodes stay strictly serialized (a slot's next frame is recorded only after that slot's previous one retired), which leaves patch 0004's scratch-pool invariant intact without touching it. THE LANDMINE, and it is the reason this stage is its own commit: `sequence_count` ALSO lives on `Impl`, and it is the 3-bit counter stamped into every block header. Two handles each count 1,2,3... alone, so the wire sees 1,1,2,2,3,3.... The decoder restarts a frame only when the value CHANGES (`diff = (hdr.sequence - last_seq) & 0x7; restart = diff != 0`), so a repeat reads as MORE BLOCKS OF THE SAME FRAME: `clear()` never runs, `decoded_frame_for_current_sequence` stays true, and the second frame of each pair is swallowed. Half frame rate, occasional mixed-frame blocks, no error anywhere — on every client, since pf-client-core and the Apple Metal hand-port parse the same field. `patches/0007-encoder-sequence-override.patch` (new, ~38 lines) exposes `Encoder::set_next_sequence` + a `pyrowave_encoder_set_next_sequence` C entry + a `PYROWAVE_SEQUENCE_MASK` define, so ONE monotonic counter on the Rust side is stamped regardless of which handle encodes. The setter stores `(seq - 1) & mask` because `Impl::encode` pre-increments — its contract is about the next ENCODE, not the next store. Inert when unused, so the whole Windows backend is untouched. No `.def` change: the C API is a static archive. PREDICTED, THEN OBSERVED. A negative control on .21 (the override call removed, nothing else) reads the wire out at exactly: [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2] which is the analysis's prediction character for character, and with the override: +1 mod 8, all 20 frames, through the 3-bit wrap. THE GATE, `wire_sequence_increments_across_alternating_handles`, checks three things over 20 frames because any one alone could pass while the stream is broken: the wire counter advances by 1 mod 8; ONE persistent decoder (its `last_seq` carried across every push, exactly like a client's) reports every AU decodable; and consecutive decoded pictures DIFFER. Content moves every frame — and the first run caught a trap in the harness itself rather than the encoder: `test_card` starts its LCG at `seed | 1`, so seeds 2 and 3 build a byte-identical card and the test faked the very repeat it hunts. Odd seeds only now, with the reason written down. A runtime self-check backs the test up where the test cannot reach: after packetize, the stamped sequence is compared against what we asked for, and a mismatch logs once per process naming patch 0007. A re-vendor that loses the patch would not fail to build — it would fail on glass, subtly, and this makes it loud instead. Two byte reads per frame. `reset()` rebuilds both handles and `Drop` destroys both, each with the same null-immediately discipline the single handle had (`pyrowave_encoder_destroy` is a bare `delete` with no null check, so a stale pointer left in the field is a double free). Vendored-patch discipline: patch 0007 re-applies clean to a pristine vendor checkout (verified by stashing the vendor tree and re-applying), and `git diff crates/pyrowave-sys/vendor/` touches exactly the four intended files. VERIFIED ON GLASS (.21, RTX 5070 Ti, GPU idle at 180 MHz of 3090): all 8 `#[ignore]`d GPU tests pass, including the new gate and the 4:2:0 / 4:4:4 / 24-bpp PSNR smokes.

enricobuehler	29248dcab9	feat(pf-encode): PyroWave had six single-slot resources, not the two the plan named ... Wave-2 PW5 stage 4. Pure capacity — `max_inflight` is STILL 1, nothing overlaps yet. The plan named the y/uv images as the thing to double. Reading the backend found five more, and each is a correctness problem under overlap rather than a performance one: * `csc_set` — ONE descriptor set, rewritten every frame by `bind_rgb`. Updating a set still bound by a PENDING command buffer violates VUID-vkUpdateDescriptorSets-None-03047, and on most drivers that is a wrong picture rather than an error. * `y_img`/`uv_img` — the CSC of N+1 storage-writes exactly the images pyrowave is still sampling for N. The barrier comment ("the previous frame's encode already completed under our synchronous fence") was load-bearing and said so. * `cursor_img` + `cursor_stage` — the struct comment stated the assumption outright: *"Single (not ring) because PyroWave encodes one frame synchronously — no in-flight overlap to race."* * `cmd` + `fence` — you cannot record into a PENDING command buffer at all. * `cpu_img`/`cpu_stage` (software capture / tests) — the host writes staging while the previous frame's copy is still pending. All of it moves into a `Slot`, and the encoder now owns `SLOTS` of them. Two, because Granite caps the overlap at two for us: the pyrowave device defaults to `init_frame_contexts(2)` and `next_frame_context()` — called at the top of every `encode_gpu_synchronous` — waits the context it rotates into. A third slot would need a vendored `init_frame_contexts(3)` that is not exposed. `bitstream` and `import_cache` are deliberately NOT per-slot, and the `Slot` doc says why so a later sweep does not "fix" it: `bitstream` is only touched during packetize, i.e. only on the poll side one frame at a time, and `import_cache` retaining the VkImage/VkDeviceMemory per dmabuf inode is precisely what makes it safe for two slots to sample the same imported buffer. `cpu_expand` is shared for the same reason — it is copied into staging before `submit_frame` returns, so no GPU work ever reads it. Each frame carries its slot index in `InFlight` rather than recomputing it, so `wait_and_packetize` cannot wait the wrong fence — the failure that would look like corruption rather than an error. `reset()` now waits EVERY in-flight fence, not just one, which matters the moment depth rises. WHAT IT COSTS, measured from the driver's own memory requirements rather than estimated (.21, RTX 5070 Ti, and there is now an `#[ignore]`d test that prints it on any GPU): 1080p 4:2:0 3872 KiB per slot 7744 KiB for both 4K 4:2:0 12992 KiB per slot 25984 KiB for both 4K 4:4:4 24992 KiB per slot 49984 KiB for both So the extra slot costs ~3.8 MiB at 1080p and ~24 MiB at 4K 4:4:4 — an order of magnitude under the plan's ~25-35 MB / 100-150 MB estimate, because that estimate included pyrowave's internal wavelet and scratch buffers, which stage 5's second encoder handle will add and this stage does not. Affordable on an iGPU. The open line now logs `slots`, `slot_kib` and `slots_kib` so this is visible per session and not only in a test. VERIFIED ON GLASS (.21, GPU idle at 195 MHz of 3090 — slow-clock, the worst case on this card): all 6 `#[ignore]`d GPU tests pass, and all NINE decoded-plane hashes (`ref-dense-{y,cb,cr}`, `ref-chunked-*`, `ref-dense444-*`) are bit-identical to the pre-PW5 base. Decode identity is the meaningful gate here — the raw AU bytes are not reproducible run-to-run even from an unmodified binary, which stage 3's message documents.

enricobuehler	95962f55d0	refactor(pf-encode): PyroWave waited its fence inside submit — the one backend that did ... Wave-2 PW5 stage 3. Depth is STILL 1; this is the shape change alone. `encode_frame` recorded CSC+encode, queue-submitted, waited the fence and packetized, all inside `Encoder::submit`. Every other backend in this crate puts the wait on the POLL side. That difference is the whole reason the host loop's cadence folds around this encoder: with the wait inline, `submit` returns only after the GPU is done, so the arrival-anchored floor absorbs the encode only while it stays under 0.9x the frame interval. Split into `submit_frame` (ingest -> CSC -> pyrowave encode -> queue-submit -> return) and `wait_and_packetize` (fence wait -> packetize -> AU), with an `InFlight` deque between them capped by `max_inflight`, which is 1. **One is the only value the resources can support today** — `cmd`, `fence`, `csc_set` and the y/uv images are one each, so a second concurrent frame would record into a PENDING command buffer and storage-write images pyrowave is still sampling. `submit` therefore drains to `max_inflight - 1` before recording, which states that invariant in one place instead of leaving it implicit in "the encode is synchronous". The subtle part is the command-buffer state machine, and it is unchanged: the record-and-submit closure still resets `cmd` on every PRE-submit failure (RECORDING/INVALID/EXECUTABLE, never PENDING), and the fence wait still does NOT reset on failure, because a timeout leaves the buffer PENDING where a reset violates VUID-vkResetCommandBuffer-commandBuffer-00045. What changed is that a failed wait now also leaves the entry IN FLIGHT — which is precisely what tells `reset()` there is live GPU work to re-wait before the pyrowave encoder object may be destroyed. `gpu_pending` is gone; `!inflight.is_empty()` is the same fact, and cannot drift from it. The split opened two windows that did not exist when everything ran inline, both closed here: `reconfigure_bitrate` and `set_wire_chunking` can now land BETWEEN a submit and its poll, so the packetize boundary and the bitstream cap are snapshotted into `InFlight` at submit time. Reading the live fields would have let a mid-flight bitrate drop turn a perfectly good frame into "unexpected packet count", and a mid-flight chunking change into an AU with the wrong `chunk_aligned` flag. `flush()` is no longer a no-op — it drains the in-flight frame, so the trait's poll-until-None contract still returns every AU (the `spike` subcommand and the hardware smoke tests are the real users). The perf instrument still measures submit->AU, stamped at submit and taken when the AU becomes readable, so `92326312`'s numbers stay directly comparable; the log line now carries `depth` and says plainly that above depth 1 the number legitimately grows by about one loop period. VERIFIED ON GLASS (.21, RTX 5070 Ti, GPU idle at 180 MHz of 3090 — so these are slow-clock runs, which is the worst case on this card, not the best): all 6 `#[ignore]`d GPU tests pass — the 4:2:0, 4:4:4 and 24-bpp PSNR smokes, the mode-mismatch refusal, the fd-leak check and the golden dump. Byte-identity, honestly: the AU bytes are NOT reproducible, and were not before this commit either. Three runs of the SAME unmodified binary produced three different `au-dense.bin` hashes (ab7ecaf6 / 8735700e / 933b3d40) — the vendored 4:2:0 encoder emits run-varying bytes that the decoder ignores. So the meaningful gate is DECODE identity, and that holds exactly: every decoded plane (`ref-dense-{y,cb,cr}`, `ref-chunked-{y,cb,cr}`, `ref-dense444-{y,cb,cr}`) is bit-identical between the pre-split base and this commit, across four runs. 4:4:4 AUs are additionally bit-stable and match the checked-in Apple fixture exactly.

enricobuehler	9e598f8595	fix(client): the 4:4:4 switch could cost a Deck its whole codec, and --probe-decode denied the queue it was decoding on ... Two Steam Deck findings from a field report of "the decoder was not found, it fell back to H.264 — but sometimes HEVC worked". **The 4:4:4 advertisement was a promise nothing checked.** `VIDEO_CAP_444` rode the "Full chroma" setting alone. That was safe while a software HEVC decoder existed underneath it; M8 removed one (there is no permissively licensed HEVC CPU decoder, so `software_decodable_codecs()` is H.264|AV1). The host grants 4:4:4 on HEVC ONLY, and answers the resolved chroma in the Welcome before the client builds a decoder — so on a device with no 4:4:4 decode the toggle did not cost crispness, it cost the entire codec: the Vulkan rung refuses the shape at construction, VAAPI refuses it too, there is no CPU rung, and the session reconnects on H.264. AMD has no HEVC 4:4:4 decode on any silicon, so every Deck with that switch on lost HEVC. It is per-profile and default-off, which is exactly why it looked intermittent — a "Work" profile lost HEVC where "Game" kept it, same box, same host. Gated on `hevc_444_hardware_decodable`, which asks the driver through the SAME code the rung uses at construction (`VkH265Decoder::probe_stream_support`), so the advertisement and the rung that must honour it cannot disagree. Both depths are required, not either: with HDR on the host may resolve 4:4:4 10-bit, and a device offering YUV444_8 but not YUV444_10 would land in the same hole. Answering from the Vulkan rung alone is exact rather than approximate — it is the only rung in this build that implements 4:4:4 at all (`pf_vaadec::profile_for` errors on chroma_format_idc 3, pf-dxvadec refuses anything but 4:2:0, the CPU rung is 8-bit 4:2:0). Deliberately NOT extended to VIDEO_CAP_10BIT/HDR: all three rungs implement 10-bit 4:2:0, so a Vulkan-only probe there would withdraw HDR from boxes whose VAAPI/DXVA rung decodes it perfectly — a real regression against a case never observed. The bit arithmetic moves into `video::video_caps_for` so the part that was wrong is testable without a GPU, a host or a Hello; the test is verified non-vacuous against the planted original defect. **`--probe-decode` described a different device from the one that streams.** The RADV video-decode opt-in sat AFTER the --list-adapters/--probe-decode/--list-audio /--pair early exits, so the triage tool never had it. Measured on a Deck (canary e22af40f), same binary back to back: bare `--probe-decode` printed "vulkan video decode: no", "driver decode ops: none (0x0)", "no queue family advertises VIDEO_DECODE"; with RADV_PERFTEST=video_decode in the environment, "YES" and "H.264, H.265, AV1, VP9". Any Deck triage that consulted it reached the opposite of the truth. Hoisted to the top of `run`, ahead of every early exit — nothing touches Vulkan before it (`main` calls `run` directly). Gates, in the Linux container: fmt, plain `cargo build` (not only --all-targets), `clippy --all-targets -D warnings`, and 185 tests.	2026-08-09 00:10:46 +02:00
enricobuehler	bd86598d97	fix(decky): the client update the plugin offers was never once detected ... The QAM has offered to update the client since 0.24, and on every Deck it has answered "up to date" — including right now, with a client a day out of date. The check asks flatpak for the remote's commit and compares it to the installed one, and it named the app id with no branch: `flatpak remote-info punktfunk-origin io.unom.Punktfunk`. The punktfunk remote publishes `stable` AND `canary`, so that ref is ambiguous and flatpak refuses it — "Multiple branches available" — rather than picking one. One branch INSTALLED does not help; the ambiguity is on the remote. The call failed on every box, every time, and the failure returned `available=False`, which the panel renders as good news. Hence: the plugin appeared to update only itself. Every query now names the ref in full, resolved once by `_flatpak_ref()` off the exported tree (no subprocess — `_client_argv` is on the path of every headless call). That resolution also carries the SCOPE, so a system-wide install is no longer invisible to a check that hardcoded `--user`, and the launcher pins the same `--branch=`, so the client we start is the client we check and update. A check that cannot run now says so instead of reporting up-to-date: the flatpak leg reports `client_error` exactly as the native leg already did. Dressing that failure up as good news is the whole reason this went a week unnoticed. Also: the button no longer promises "+ client" when the client is manual-only and the tap can only print a command. Verified on the Deck (192.168.1.253, canary, user scope) by running both code paths against the real install, minutes apart: pre-fix available=False remote='' post-fix available=True remote=ca010668 (installed e22af40f) and `flatpak {info,remote-info,update}` all accept the `id//branch` form there. 37 backend checks pass, 6 of them new and about exactly this.	2026-08-09 00:08:24 +02:00
enricobuehler	c3ecc29117	feat(pf-capture): the zero-copy path never asked the compositor for buffer headroom ... Wave-2 PW5 stage 2, on the number stage 1 just made visible. `build_dmabuf_buffers` set `SPA_PARAM_BUFFERS_dataType` and stopped there — no `SPA_PARAM_BUFFERS_buffers` at all, so the pool depth the whole zero-copy safety argument rests on was entirely the producer's choice, and we never even expressed a preference. This asks for 8 (min 2, max 16). A **Choice Range**, deliberately, not a fixed count. SPA intersects the consumer's and producer's Buffers params, so a fixed 8 against a producer that can only afford 4 empties the intersection and the link stalls in "negotiating" with no error anywhere — the exact trap that cost this codebase the entire Linux cursor channel once, when a 256^2 cursor-meta max failed to intersect Mutter's fixed 384^2 offer. With a range the producer clamps into it and negotiation still succeeds; the min stays at 2 so nothing that works today stops working. The numbers, and what they are not: 8 buffers is ~133 ms of pool at 60 Hz and ~33 ms at 240 Hz, well past the ~3-4 ms capture-to-fence latency PW3/PW4 measured, with room for a second frame in flight. 16 is a ceiling rather than a request — a 4K 4:4:4 buffer is ~25 MB, so 16 of them is ~400 MB of compositor allocation. These are the values we ASK for; what a producer actually allocates is what stage 1's census line reports, and that line is the one to trust. Scoped to the dmabuf pod only. The mappable and SHM-only builders are untouched: their consumers copy out of the buffer inside `.process`, so pool depth is not part of their correctness argument. A test pins the pod SHAPE — Choice, Range, Int children, values default-first — so a later simplification cannot quietly turn the range back into a number and take the negotiation down with it. Gates green at CI parity; on-glass negotiation on each producer is stage 2's own gate and is reported with the stage-1 census numbers.	2026-08-09 00:01:24 +02:00
enricobuehler	6d550530fe	feat(pf-capture): nothing had ever counted the compositor's buffer pool — the number every zero-copy safety argument rests on ... Wave-2 PW5 stage 1, and the one stage with no risk at all. The zero-copy capture path dups the dmabuf fd, publishes the frame, and hands the SPA buffer straight back to the producer at `.process` return — while the encode thread has not yet imported it, let alone read it. The code says so itself ("content stability across the brief import/encode window relies on the compositor's buffer-pool depth, like any zero-copy capture"). That depth is therefore load-bearing: it is the ONLY thing standing between us and the producer overwriting a buffer mid-read. And it had never been measured. Not logged, not asserted, not even requested — `build_dmabuf_buffers` set `SPA_PARAM_BUFFERS_dataType` and nothing else, so whatever the producer picked is what we got, silently. This adds the `add_buffer`/`remove_buffer` stream callbacks PipeWire has always offered and logs the count once per distinct depth: `pool_depth`, `high_water`, and the latest-frame-only `drained` count beside it. One line per session on a stable pool (`.process` runs at the capture rate — an unconditional log would be 240 lines a second of the same number), a second line if a renegotiation changes the depth. `high_water` is tracked separately from `live` because a renegotiation frees the pool before re-allocating it: any decision keyed on the live count would read that dip as "the pool shrank". `remove` saturates at zero rather than wrapping, so an unmatched remove cannot report `u32::MAX` buffers. Measurement only — no behaviour change, and no consumer of the number yet. PW5's later stages need it (a deeper encode pipeline widens the overwrite window by a full frame period), but the number is worth having regardless of whether those stages ever land: it is the answer to "is our zero-copy capture actually safe on this compositor", and until now the honest answer was "nobody knows". 3 tests pin the once-per-depth logging, the renegotiation dip, and the saturating remove. Gates green at CI parity.	2026-08-09 00:01:08 +02:00

The Steam Deck switched to Desktop Mode gives KWin on RADV, the combination none of the earlier legs covered, and it reports no implicit fence like every other: gamescope + NVIDIA (RTX 5070 Ti) NoFence Mutter + NVIDIA (RTX 5070 Ti) NoFence gamescope + RADV (Deck VANGOGH) 300/300 NoFence, mean 23us, p99 <=100us KWin + RADV (Deck desktop) no fence (older build's wording: waited=false) That is every compositor x vendor this fleet has. PW4 retires with no outstanding doubt rather than "probably fine except one box we never tried". Measured with the Deck's OWN already-authorized binary rather than a scratch build, because KWin grants zkde_screencast_unstable_v1 per EXECUTABLE PATH: it resolves /proc/<pid>/exe against a .desktop's Exec= and caches the grant on first connect, so an unregistered path is refused outright and registering one needs a re-login.

enricobuehler	07f6d6f324	fix(apple): .defaultToSpeaker outranks Bluetooth, so every headset lost the stream ... Field report on 0.25, iOS: "no audio over Bluetooth ... plays through speakers if Mic input is enabled". Both halves are one bug. `micEnabled` and `echoCancel` both default to true (EffectiveSettings.swift), so the DEFAULT iOS session is `.playAndRecord` — and that branch set `.defaultToSpeaker`. That option is not the polite preference it reads as: it is an output OVERRIDE, and it outranks an A2DP route. Wired headphones beat it, Bluetooth does not, so a cable is the one way to test it and get the right answer — which is what the comment sitting on it asserted ("headphones/BT still win"). Every Bluetooth listener on the default settings got the phone's own speaker instead. Turning the mic off was the accidental workaround the reporter found: that path takes `.playback`, which routes to A2DP happily and always did. The earpiece problem `.defaultToSpeaker` was reaching for is real — `.playAndRecord` really does park the built-in output on the receiver. So solve it against the route we were ACTUALLY given rather than pre-emptively: after activation, if the current output is `.builtInReceiver`, override to the speaker; anything external (Bluetooth, wired, CarPlay, AirPlay) is left strictly alone. That override is a property of the current route — iOS drops it whenever the route changes, which is exactly what lets a newly-connected headset win — so it has to be re-applied per route. Hence the route-change observer: without it, dropping Bluetooth mid-stream would hand the game to the earpiece. Registered only for a `.playAndRecord` session (a `.playback` one needs no steering), removed in stop() before the session deactivate, with deinit as a backstop. Deliberately NOT adding `.allowBluetooth`: it would make a headset's mic usable, but buys that by dragging the whole route onto HFP/SCO and collapsing game audio to narrowband. High-quality A2DP output plus the built-in mic is the better trade for a game-streaming client. Verified: builds clean on arm64-apple-ios17.0 (the triple that actually compiles these `#if os(iOS)` blocks — a plain `swift build` is macOS and skips them), arm64-apple-tvos17.0, and macOS; 257 Swift tests pass, 0 failures. On-glass iPhone + Bluetooth listen still owed.	2026-08-08 23:49:38 +02:00

enricobuehler	5872dfc649	feat(library): a plugin launch kind, so a scanner can publish tiles the host cannot name ... The 2026-08-05 review made `launch.kind = "command"` operator-only, and a reconcile refuses on the FIRST offending entry — so rom-manager, whose every ROM is `<emulator> <args> <rom>`, stopped putting anything in the library at all. Playnite hit the same wall and was rescued with a typed kind the host resolves itself; there is no fixed scheme for "whichever emulator the operator configured, with the core and flags they chose", so that trick does not generalise. So the entry now carries an opaque key and nothing executable, and the host asks the plugin that owns it what to run — at launch time, over the loopback UI port and per-boot secret it already registered. A stolen plugin token stops being command execution: planting an entry is not enough, because the live plugin answers 404 for a key it never published. Nothing executable is persisted or served to a client, and an emulator that moved is picked up on the next launch instead of leaving a dead tile (the same reasoning as `xbox` resolving its AUMID at launch time). The host still SPAWNS it, because only the host can put the process where the stream can see it: on Linux the line is either gamescope's own argv or a spawn carrying the session's compositor env, and the returned child is what session-game-lifetime tracks to know the game exited. A plugin spawning the emulator itself would land it outside both. - library/plugin_launch.rs — the ask: blocking ureq, bounded body, absolute cwd, no control characters, and a log line for every way it can come back empty - library/launch.rs — `plugin_recipe` tried before both per-OS resolvers, plus `launch_is_resolvable` so the async handshake probe never makes the blocking call - native.rs — the session's `resolve_launch` moves onto `spawn_blocking` - plugin-kit — `serveUi({launch})` serves `POST /__launch`; and `SyncError` finally renders its cause, which is why a host refusal with a fully explanatory 403 could reach a plugin's own UI as nothing but "Decode error"	2026-08-08 23:46:05 +02:00
enricobuehler	bed58b75b6	feat(apple): the statistics overlay is reachable on tvOS ... An Apple TV session had no way to the stats overlay at all. Every other client cycles it in-stream — Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S on the desktops, a three-finger tap on touch — and tvOS has neither a keyboard nor a screen to tap, so the only route was Settings before connecting (or a profile). The docs' own "cycle with" table simply had no row for it. Two surfaces, because an Apple TV may have a controller in the room or only the remote: - Select + X on a controller, cycling one tier per completion. Built like Android's mic chord (Select + Y) and deliberately disjoint from the escape chord — X is none of its four buttons, so reaching for one can never trip the other. Read off the wire mask like the escape chord, so a Select the hold-Select gesture has turned into a guide can't cycle the overlay on its way past. Available on every Apple platform: a controller in both hands is exactly the case the keyboard combo and the three-finger tap can't serve. - Hold Play/Pause on the Siri Remote. Its right-click is therefore deferred until the press resolves — a tap still right-clicks, delivered on release with the release trailing by TAP_PRESS — because a right button held for half a second is a context menu on every desktop this streams. A non-forwarding slot now claims the stats chord's elements too, alongside the escape chord's: on tvOS an unclaimed button's press stays the system's and the chord would silently never complete. Tests pin both chords' masks against their GameController alias lists, that the two overlap only on Select, and that the claim list covers both without duplicates — the failure mode is nothing happening, with nothing logged.	2026-08-08 23:24:09 +02:00
