TOFU let anyone who could reach the host click "Trust" and stream, which defeats the point
on a LAN. Make SPAKE2 PIN pairing the default and only way to trust a NEW host; TOFU survives
as an explicit HOST opt-in (for fully trusted networks), advertised over mDNS so clients render
their trust UI from the host's policy rather than offering trust on faith.
Contract:
- Host advertises pair=required (default) or pair=optional. pair=required rejects unpaired
clients at the handshake; pair=optional accepts them (TOFU).
- Clients: a pinned host whose fingerprint matches connects silently; a pinned host whose
fingerprint CHANGED forces re-pairing via PIN (no re-trust shortcut); a NEW host is offered
TOFU only if it advertised pair=optional, otherwise PIN pairing is mandatory; a manually-typed
or unknown-policy host is always PIN.
Host (crates/punktfunk-host/src/main.rs):
- m3-host now REQUIRES pairing by default (was open by default). New --allow-tofu opts into
accepting unpaired clients + advertising pair=optional; pairing is always armed (PIN logged at
startup). serve --native was already secure-by-default (serve --open). The mDNS advert and the
accept loop already mapped require_pairing -> pair=required + reject; only the m3-host CLI
default + help text changed.
Clients honor the advertised policy:
- Android (MainActivity.kt): TOFU only for a discovered pair=optional host; manual/unknown -> PIN;
fp-change -> re-pair only (dropped the "Forget & re-TOFU" shortcut).
- Apple (HostDiscovery/SessionModel/ContentView/HostCards/HostStore): new allowsTofu
(pair==optional, distinct from unknown); connect() gates .awaitingTrust on it; unpinned
non-optional hosts route to the PIN sheet; "Forget Identity" re-pairs rather than re-TOFUs.
- Linux (app.rs/ui_hosts.rs/session.rs): ConnectRequest.pair_required -> pair_optional;
initiate_connect routes pinned/fp-changed/optional/else; manual + --connect unknown -> PIN; a
pinned connect rejected on trust grounds re-pairs.
Docs (CLAUDE.md, README.md, docs-site/content/docs/pairing.md): describe the gated model — PIN is
the default, TOFU an explicit opt-in with an impostor warning.
Verified: host cargo check/clippy/fmt clean; Android built + live (emulator -> home-worker-2):
a manual connect now opens the PIN dialog (no Trust button) and the PIN ceremony streams; Apple
swift build clean; Linux clippy -D warnings + fmt clean on the Linux box.

Make the host docs match the real distribution path and the actual CLI. Reviewed by a
multi-agent pass (6 editors against one verified fact sheet + an accuracy reviewer); its
findings (a wrong client-Recommends claim, a native-concurrency overstatement) folded in.
- Install front door: new README "Install (host)" method-picker + docs-site/install.md
(+ nav), routing each distro to its package registry; source build demoted to a fallback.
- Registry-first install: ubuntu-gnome/ubuntu-kde now lead with the apt registry (not a
cargo build); bazzite leads with the Gitea RPM registry (was COPR/source). Source builds
moved to an appendix.
- CLI accuracy: serve --native arms pairing from the web console (NOT --allow-pairing, which
with --require-pairing/--max-concurrent is m3-host-only); --open disables mandatory pairing.
host-cli/configuration/pairing/quickstart/troubleshooting corrected; mgmt API documented as
always HTTPS+token. Native host serves one session at a time (extras queue) — not multi.
- Firewall: real ports documented (native UDP 9777 + the ephemeral data port caveat +
GameStream ports) for Debian + Arch (ufw + nftables), not just Bazzite.
- Sync/accuracy: punktfunk-client (GTK4) presented as a shipping client (not "roadmap"),
punktfunk-client-rs as the headless tool; host Recommends punktfunk-web only (not the
client); COPR chroots f43/44; bootc header says Gitea registry not COPR.

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

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