Stream reliability
- Default to the stage-2 presenter (VTDecompressionSession + CAMetalLayer): it detects
and recovers a wedged decoder, where stage-1's AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer freezes hard
on a lost HEVC reference frame with no app-side recovery (confirmed Apple limitation).
Stage 1 is now a DEBUG-only presenter toggle, plus the automatic no-Metal fallback.
- Stage-2 pixel-perfect: render the drawable at the decoded size (shader stays 1:1 =
identity) and let the layer's contentsGravity scale via the system compositor — the
same path stage-1's videoGravity used — instead of scaling in-shader.
- Loss recovery in both pumps is now a persistent awaitingIDR want, retried until an IDR
actually lands, so a keyframe request swallowed by the throttle can't strand a frozen
frame; 100 ms keyframe throttle to match the Android path.
- Fix "Publishing changes from within view updates": defer the HostStore writes out of
the .onChange(of: model.phase) callback.
- Move AVAudioSession setActive/setCategory off the main thread (async on a shared serial
queue) to stop the UI-stall warning.
Controllers
- Rumble: capped-exponential backoff when the gamecontrollerd.haptics XPC breaks (-4811)
so a transient server interruption self-heals instead of cascading; playsHapticsOnly so
a controller engine doesn't join the always-active streaming audio session.
- Host cards: iPad pointer "magnet" hover effect; iPhone press scale + light haptic.
UI / design
- Ship Geist (SIL OFL 1.1) as the app font (bundled OTFs + registration), with the
license surfaced in Acknowledgements.
- Restructure iOS/iPadOS Settings into a category NavigationSplitView; resolution wheel
with custom-resolution entry; 10-bit HDR toggle in Display.
- Industrial host-card redesign (left-aligned, bold, brand monogram tiles).

A DEBUG-only "shot mode" renders one mock-populated screen full-bleed
(PUNKTFUNK_SHOT_SCENE=<name> -> ScreenshotHostView instead of ContentView),
so the OS can screenshot the REAL, fully-rendered UI. tools/screenshots.sh
drives it: screencapture for the mac window, `simctl io booted screenshot`
for the iOS/iPad/tvOS Simulators, at exactly the App Store Connect sizes.
ImageRenderer was tried first and rejected: it can't rasterize this app's
chrome (NavigationStack, Form/TabView, Liquid-Glass/NSVisualEffect all render
black or the "can't render" placeholder). Capturing the live window/Simulator
avoids that. Only the stream hero is synthetic (StreamView needs a live
connection) - a synthwave frame + the real glass HUD, overridable via
PUNKTFUNK_SHOT_HERO.
CI: a new `screenshots` job in apple.yml builds the iOS (+ tvOS best-effort)
xcframework slices, runs the harness per platform best-effort, and attaches
the result as a single zip artifact (punktfunk-appstore-screenshots). It is
isolated from the build/test job and skipped on PRs, so a capture gap (missing
Simulator runtime, or no Screen Recording grant for the mac window capture)
never reds the core signal.
Generated PNGs (clients/apple/screenshots/) are gitignored.

The macOS Settings window had outgrown one scrolling pane — split it into a tabbed
preferences window (General / Display / Audio / Controllers / Advanced). Each
settings group is now a shared @ViewBuilder section, so iOS keeps its single
grouped Form and tvOS its pushed-picker layout, each defined once. No setting
moved or dropped.
New statistics-overlay controls (Settings → Display → Statistics): a show/hide
toggle (DefaultsKey.hudEnabled) and a corner picker (HUDPlacement /
DefaultsKey.hudPlacement) — the HUD moves to the chosen corner and aligns its text
to that edge.
A Scene-level "Stream" menu (StreamCommands) carries Show/Hide Statistics (⌘⇧S)
and Disconnect (⌘D). Disconnect moved off the HUD button into the menu so it
survives the overlay being hidden, wired via .focusedSceneValue. On iOS a
material-backed exit chip appears when the HUD is hidden (touch users have no
menu/⌘D); tvOS disconnect is unchanged (Siri-Remote Menu button).
Builds on macOS/iOS/tvOS; swift test green. Adversarially reviewed (8 findings
refuted, 2 minor — the iOS exit-chip contrast fix is included here).

Matches the bundle display name; was the lowercase project name "punktfunk" in the
home navigation title (iOS large title / macOS titlebar) and the WindowGroup title.

The whole client now runs on iPadOS/iOS from the same sources, first-lit live in the
iPad simulator against the real host at 1280x720@60 (60 fps on the HUD, capture state
machine active, mic permission flow shown).
- PunktfunkCore.xcframework grows iOS device + universal-simulator slices
(BUILD_IOS=1; rustup targets aarch64-apple-ios{,-sim} + x86_64-apple-ios).
- The decode pump is extracted into a shared StreamPump (identical IDR re-gate logic on
both platforms); the iOS StreamView (StreamViewIOS.swift) has the same name/signature
as the macOS one, so ContentView & co. are byte-identical across platforms — hosted
in a UIViewController for prefersPointerLocked (the iPadOS cursor capture; see README
note 9 for the UIHostingController forwarding caveat).
- Touch is always forwarded: per-finger wire ids, coordinates mapped through the
aspect-fit letterbox into LIVE host-mode pixels (surface == host mode, identity
rescale host-side; follows mid-stream requestMode switches).
- InputCapture is cross-platform: GC works the same on iPadOS, ⌘⎋ is detected from the
HID stream there; stale-⌘ tracking after focus loss fixed on both platforms
(releaseAll now drops the modifier/latch state — a ⌘ released in another app
otherwise hijacked Esc forever).
- SessionAudio: AVAudioSession on iOS (.playAndRecord + .defaultToSpeaker — without it
iPhones route host audio to the EARPIECE; deactivated with
notifyOthersOnDeactivation on stop so interrupted background audio resumes); HAL
device pinning + the Settings pickers stay macOS-only.
- New Punktfunk-iOS app target (shared synchronized sources, generated Info.plist with
mic + local-network usage descriptions — QUIC to a LAN host trips local network
privacy on real devices — scene manifest + indirect input events for Stage Manager /
external displays), shared scheme, macOS min-window frames gated off iOS.
For the iPad-on-an-external-screen idea: with multiple scenes + indirect input enabled,
Stage Manager iPads can drag the punktfunk window onto the external display and drive
the PC with keyboard/mouse/touch. Known gaps (README note 9): the pointer-lock
preference isn't consulted through UIHostingController (relative mouse works, the local
cursor just stays visible) and AVAudioSession interruptions don't auto-restart audio.

The app grows from a dev connect form into a real client shell:
- Home is a grid of saved hosts (UserDefaults-persisted; context menu: Remove / Forget
Identity), "+" in the toolbar opens the add-host sheet, the stream mode moved into
Settings (⌘, / gear) — native resolution stays the only mode, no scaling.
- Trust is now explicit: the protocol always supported certificate pinning, but the app
passed no pin and discarded the observed fingerprint — silently trusting any host.
First connect now shows the host's SHA-256 fingerprint (compare with the "clients pin
this fingerprint" line in the host log) over the live-but-blurred stream; the stream
must pump immediately (the opening IDR is the only guaranteed one), so StreamView gains
a capturesCursor switch to keep the cursor free while the prompt needs clicking, and
input capture starts only after confirmation. Trusting pins the fingerprint per host;
a changed host identity then refuses to connect.
- PUNKTFUNK_AUTOCONNECT keeps working (auto-trusts, doesn't touch the saved hosts).
Host→client authorization (pairing PIN) remains a punktfunk-core roadmap item — the host
still accepts any client that can reach its port.

Full project rename, decided 2026-06-10:
- Crates/binaries: punktfunk-core / punktfunk-host / punktfunk-client-rs.
- C ABI: punktfunk_* symbols, Punktfunk* types, include/punktfunk_core.h,
PUNKTFUNK_FEATURE_QUIC guard (header regenerated; cbindgen renames updated, incl.
PUNKTFUNK_BTN_*/PUNKTFUNK_AXIS_* wire constants).
- Protocol: punktfunk/1 — control-plane magic LMN1 → PKF1, nonce salt lmn1 → pkf1.
WIRE BREAK: clients must be rebuilt from this revision.
- Env knobs: PUNKTFUNK_VIDEO_SOURCE / PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR / PUNKTFUNK_ZEROCOPY / ….
- Host config dir: ~/.config/punktfunk (the box's dir was migrated in place — the
persistent identity is unchanged, pinned fingerprints stay valid).
- Swift package: PunktfunkKit + PunktfunkCore.xcframework + PunktfunkConnection
(Sources/PunktfunkClient app + tests renamed with it); build-xcframework.sh updated.
- scripts/: 60-punktfunk.rules, punktfunk-host.service; OpenAPI doc regenerated.
Also: scripts/headless/run-headless-kde.sh — full headless Plasma bringup. Root cause of
"desktop but no apps/settings" over the stream: plasmashell launched without
XDG_MENU_PREFIX=plasma-, so the launcher resolved a nonexistent applications.menu and
rendered an empty menu. The script sets the complete KDE session env (menu prefix,
KDE_FULL_SESSION, session version) and rebuilds ksycoca before starting plasmashell.
Gate: 97/97 tests, clippy -D warnings (both feature sets), fmt, C-ABI harness PASS,
zero lumen references left outside .git.
