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	744bcb468b	feat(host/wire): a jumbo path can now be PROVEN — and the shipped grow never could ... Wave-2 PW7a: a PyroWave session on a proven-jumbo LAN should START at the big shard, because it is the one codec that can never be re-keyed mid-stream (its client parses chunk-aligned AUs in windows of the `Welcome` value, read once over the C ABI). At an 8908-byte shard that is ~6× fewer datagrams per frame — ~49k → ~8k pps at 550 Mb/s — and proportionally less window-tail padding. THE BLOCKER FOUND FIRST: the whole jumbo leg was dead code, not just the missing half. quinn caps a peer's MTU-discovery search at `min(MtuDiscoveryConfig::upper_bound, the OTHER side's advertised max_udp_payload_size)` (`quinn_proto::connection::mtud::SearchState::new`), and `EndpointConfig::max_udp_payload_size` defaults to 1472. Nothing in the repo had ever touched `EndpointConfig`, so raising the host's PROBE ceiling — all `stream_transport_idle` did — could never make discovery settle above 1472, and the shipped mid-session grow's `settled >= sealed_datagram_bytes(target)` gate was unreachable on every path that has ever existed. Two smaller contributors, fixed here too: the watcher stopped sampling the moment `settled >= 1472`, discarding the very climb the proof needs, and a session sealed ABOVE the 1500-byte default was never checked against the path at all. The advertisement is raised on the CLIENT endpoint, under the same `jumbo_wire_mtu()` opt-in as the probe ceiling, because it is not free: quinn sizes its endpoint receive buffer `max_udp_payload_size × max_receive_segments × BATCH_SIZE`, so on a GRO-capable Linux/Android client that is ~2.9 MiB at the default and ~18 MiB at jumbo (47 KiB → 288 KiB on Apple/Windows). Consequence: jumbo now needs the opt-in on BOTH ends. Without it, every byte on the wire and every byte of buffer is exactly what it was. WHY THE GROW IS AS SAFE AS THE CLAMP, which is not obvious — the failure modes are opposite. A stale clamp only makes datagrams smaller than they had to be; a stale grow seals an oversized datagram onto a 1500-byte path, where it is silently dropped, and a PyroWave session cannot recover from that for its whole life. Mirroring the clamp's keying is therefore NOT sufficient. So the memory is demoted: the persisted verdict only decides whether it is worth WAITING for a proof, and what authorises the grow is a LIVE re-proof on the very connection being welcomed — `conn.stats().path.current_mtu` ≥ the sealed target, i.e. a datagram of exactly that size acked by this client, on this connection, seconds ago. The moved laptop cannot inherit anything: its new path's live MTU is 1472 and the grow does not happen, whatever the memory says. The remembered half is keyed strictly anyway — `(local_ip, peer_ip)`, so a verdict earned over the host's 10 GbE NIC does not apply to the same peer over Wi-Fi or a VPN — and carries the operator target it was proven under plus a 6 h TTL. It is erased by any contrary evidence: a lower settle, a session that ended before the window closed (what a client staring at black does), a changed opt-in, or a constrained-path clamp that disagrees. The proof-wait is on the bring-up critical path (`handshake.rs` sends the `Welcome` and only then kicks the display prep), so it is bounded at 300 ms, exits the instant the proof lands, and is entered ONLY for a path a previous session already proved. Its worst case is the moved laptop, and that is self-limiting: that session's watcher erases the verdict. MEASURED, NOT ARGUED: `mtu_discovery_climbs_only_as_high_as_the_peer_advertises` (`#[ignore]`d, loopback — whose own MTU is 64 KiB, so configuration is the only thing that can stop the search), on .21: leg A (server opted in, client NOT): settled at 1472 B UDP payload <- the dead-code proof leg B (both opted in): reached 8972 B in 5 ms <- the fix, and its speed Leg A is the finding restated as an experiment. Leg B says the climb costs ~5 ms once both sides advertise it, so the 300 ms proof-wait is ~60x the loopback convergence time — enough headroom for a real LAN's RTT and per-probe ack delay across the ~11 probes the search takes. Still owed: the A/B on a real jumbo LAN segment (9000-MTU NIC + switch on both ends) — pps per frame, wire/pin ratio, and a PyroWave session observed starting at 8908. Not runnable without the hardware.	2026-08-08 21:53:02 +02:00
enricobuehler	20f4d23f2d	test(pw6): the streamed-AU trap is real — and at 2 % loss it costs exactly nothing ... PW6 shipped behind a knob because one pre-registered risk was unmeasured: a streamed frame whose FINAL block is lost has no totals, so where the whole-AU path hands the consumer a usable blurred partial, a streamed frame may deliver nothing. PyroWave clients opt into partial delivery unconditionally, so this would have been a live behaviour change for every one of them. Measured now, three ways, instead of reasoned about. `tools/loss-harness` gains a partial-delivery leg: FEC pinned OFF, chunk-aligned AUs, deliver_partial ON, realistic 1408/200 geometry, and AU sizes swept across the whole 1..=200-shard range of FINAL-block sizes — because the final block's size is what bounds the exposure. Loss is injected per packet from a seeded xorshift rather than through `loopback_drop_period`, whose deterministic 1-in-N would systematically always-or-never hit the final block, which is the entire question. `tc netem` on `lo` was deliberately not used: the in-process model gives exact per-frame attribution, needs no sudo, cannot disturb a box running a live desktop session, and — decisively — can drop precisely the final block. Leg 1, deterministic (drop exactly the last block, 200 frames): whole-AU delivers 200 partials and 0 losses; streamed delivers 0 partials and 200 total losses. The trap is real and, when it fires, total. Leg 2, random loss, 20 000 frames per cell, same seed and sizes for both shapes. At 2 % the two are indistinguishable — 20000/20000 partials and ZERO vanished frames on both, matching the analytic bound E[loss^k] over final-block sizes k (~1e-4). The gap only appears at 30 % (99.94 % vs 100 % rescue) and 50 % (99.79 %). `complete` is 0 throughout by construction: with FEC off and ~500 packets per AU, essentially every frame is damaged — which is the regime the partial path exists for. The spike gains `--wire-chunk` and a streamed loopback path, so the wire shape is reachable end to end outside a real client: `poll_chunk` drains the AU, `begin_streamed_frame_at`/`seal_streamed_chunk`/`seal_streamed_finish` seal each piece, and the client byte-compares the reassembly. On 120 real PyroWave AUs the streamed legs (56.5 and 2.0 chunks/AU) and the whole-AU control emit a byte-identical 47 373 568-byte stream with 0 mismatches — the cut changes the wire shape and not one byte of content, and with the knob unset it does not engage at all. A new `#[ignore]`d GPU test closes the picture question on real hardware with a BUSY card (gradients + checker + noise), never a flat fill: chunks are whole windows, exactly one `first` and one `last`, the AU decodes through the client's own window walk, and luma PSNR lands at 40.2 dB. Unset the knob and the test refuses to run, which is the default-off claim verified rather than asserted. Verdict recorded in the plan: KEEP IT OFF. The 2 % tie is an argument about typical loss, but the failure is not graceful when it fires and the measured win is host send-side pipelining that nobody has yet put a millisecond number on.	2026-08-08 21:26:25 +02:00
enricobuehler	f23e0df64c	fix(host): a compositor pin silently vetoed dedicated game sessions ... `PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR` is documented as "which backend to drive", but it also quietly discarded `game_session=dedicated`: `resolve_compositor` gated the dedicated route on `!overridden` and logged nothing either way. A host whose pin was a forgotten validation leftover therefore went on displaying "dedicated" in the console while every launch landed in the desktop instead — for 30 days on the box that surfaced this, the only evidence being the ABSENCE of a log line. The pin still wins, since it is the operator's explicit hand-set knob, but it now says so and names itself. Two further holes the same triage turned up: - The pin put its backend into `available()` unconditionally AND skipped `apply_session_env`'s `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP` scrub, so `pick_compositor` could never return `None` — the one place `try_recover_session()` is called from. A pinned host whose gnome-shell had segfaulted therefore spent every connect on 8 doomed `RemoteDesktop.CreateSession: ServiceUnknown` retries while the operator's configured `PUNKTFUNK_RECOVER_SESSION_CMD` sat unreachable behind that arm. Liveness is now read on both paths, and a pin aimed at a dead session takes the recovery exit with an error naming the pin. `needs_live_session()` exempts gamescope, which stands its own session up — pinning it on a headless box stays supported. - A mode switch accepted before the pipeline existed was served the long way round: build at the now-stale mode, then immediately rebuild at the new one in the stream loop. That burns a display create, capture attach and encoder open on every such connect, and because the rebuild is deliberately create-before-drop it stands up two Mutter `RecordVirtual` monitors ~400 ms apart — which segfaults mutter 50.4 inside `meta_monitor_manager_rebuild` and takes down the whole desktop session, along with the game just launched into it (so the GAME looks like what crashed). Bring-up now adopts the newest queued mode and builds once, carrying over the H2/H3 correction ack that the replaced rebuild would have sent. Verified on a real Linux host (192.168.1.21, x86_64): `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings`, `cargo fmt --all --check` and the punktfunk-host + pf-vdisplay test suites all clean. The gate was proved non-vacuous against a planted `compile_error!`.	2026-08-08 17:37:02 +02:00
enricobuehler	608baf63be	Merge pull request 'Post-sleep sessions still failed on 0.25.0 — the host was holding open the very device its recovery asks PnP to cycle' (#119) from worktree-vdisplay-reap-pnputil into main ... Reviewed-on: #119	2026-08-08 13:29:09 +00:00
enricobuehler	9c24569db6	fix(spike): --codec pyrowave encoded PyroWave off a capture negotiated for somebody else ... Found while taking PW2's on-glass measurement, and it is what made the measurement possible. `spike` built its capture request from `OutputFormat::resolve`, the constructor shared with the GameStream path, which hard-codes `pyrowave: false` ("GameStream never negotiates PyroWave"). On Linux that flag is not cosmetic: `capture_virtual_output` feeds it to `zero_copy_policy` as `ZeroCopyPolicy::pyrowave_session`, which is what puts the capture on the raw-dmabuf passthrough. So `--codec pyrowave` opened a PyroWave encoder over a capture negotiated for a different consumer, and the only way to exercise the real path was the host-global `PUNKTFUNK_ENCODER=pyrowave` lever. That lever cannot stand in for the per-session flag, which is the part that matters here: it resolves the backend to `Pyrowave`, and `linux_zero_copy_is_vaapi_for` returns true for that — so it ALSO flips `backend_is_vaapi` on. A per-session PyroWave negotiation on an auto/NVENC host, where `backend_is_vaapi` is false, was therefore unreachable from the CLI — and that is exactly the configuration whose CPU downgrade logged nothing at all. The spike now sets the flag from its own codec, the same comparison `session_plan::output_format` makes for a real session. With it, the before/after on .21 is unambiguous: origin/main logs zero capture-path lines on that configuration, this branch logs two (the resolved arm, and the named downgrade with its cause and fix).	2026-08-08 14:08:27 +02:00
enricobuehler	fba22c6c64	fix(host/vdisplay): the host no longer vetoes its own wake-from-sleep recovery — control handles close on retire ... The control-device sharing contract was 'bare HANDLE copies, never closed for the process lifetime': retired handles were deliberately kept alive because the pinger/linger threads and the capture delivery closures held raw copies whose soundness depended on no-close. The cost surfaced in the 2026-08-08 field log: after a wake left the driver hostless, every adapter reload came back REFUSED (Generic failure) — and an open control handle is exactly what vetoes the PnP disable (and can wedge the pnputil restart) the recovery leans on. reset-pf-vdisplay.ps1 stops the whole host service precisely to get those handles closed; the in-process recovery could not, because the process could never close them. Ownership is now Arc all the way out: ensure_device/device_handle/ control_device_handle hand out Arc<OwnedHandle> clones, every consumer holds its clone across its IOCTLs (the capture closures each own one — Arc<OwnedHandle> is Send+Sync, ending the isize smuggling), and retiring drops only the manager's reference, so the handle CLOSES when the last in-flight user drains. DeviceSlot::retired is gone. The recovery path now releases the manager's reference at the first absent sighting — the 3 s ABSENT_SETTLE doubles as the drain window — and again before a not-ready-deadline reload, so the PnP cycle finally runs against a device the host is no longer holding open. The driver attaches no meaning to the control file closing (host-gone is the IOCTL-liveness watchdog, EvtFileClose deliberately unhooked), so the close has no driver-side side effects. Lock order note: RECOVERY → device is now taken (the release hooks); the forbidden inverse still never occurs — VdisplayDriver::open never reloads.	2026-08-08 13:37:05 +02:00
enricobuehler	2aa763ce70	feat(pf-capture): a PyroWave session could drop to CPU capture and log nothing at all ... Wave-2 PW2 (design/linux-host-performance-wave2-pyrowave.md). Observability only — no behaviour change to any capture decision — and it lands first because every later package in the program is measured by an A/B whose "before" is currently unreadable. The defect: the capture path's CPU-fallback warning was gated on `backend_is_vaapi`, which reads the HOST-GLOBAL encoder pref. A PyroWave session is negotiated PER SESSION, so on an NVIDIA/auto host that gate is false — and the session then fell out of every arm of the negotiation log chain, emitting nothing whatsoever while paying a full-resolution CPU pixel touch on every frame. A degraded host and a healthy one produced identical logs. Four sites, matching PW2.1-2.4: 1. The CPU-path warning now asks the per-session question (`consumer_kind`) instead of the pref, and names the consumer. Its gate widened to every GPU consumer and excludes only the software encoder, whose native input IS CPU frames — an NVENC session silently on the CPU path is the same defect, not a different one. `pyrowave_session` deliberately outranks `backend_is_vaapi`, because a PyroWave pref flips `backend_is_vaapi` on too (`linux_zero_copy_is_vaapi_for`'s `Pyrowave` arm), so testing vaapi first would swallow every PyroWave session. 2. The raw-passthrough block in `consume_frame` had four silent exits — no format, an SHM/MemFd buffer, no DRM fourcc, a failed `F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC` — each falling out of three nested `if`s into the CPU de-pad path. It is now a labeled block that breaks with a named `PassthroughFallback`, logged once per distinct reason per session with a running count, so a persistent downgrade is distinguishable from a hiccup at renegotiation. `.process` runs per frame, so the rate limit is the shippable part and is what the tests pin. Note `NoFormat` does NOT fall back — the CPU path needs `ud.format` too and returns — so the line says DROPPED for that one. Three of four downgrade; one loses the frame. 3. `force_cpu_for_nvenc_444` told a 4:4:4 PyroWave session it was "on the NVENC path", which is false in every particular: the wavelet encoder never touches NVENC, never swscales to YUV444P, and what it actually loses is the raw-dmabuf passthrough its design assumes. 4. One INFO line at pipeline build states the resolved arm and consumer (`capture pipeline resolved: dmabuf-passthrough → pyrowave`). Nothing stated it before; the 2026-08-08 triage reconstructed it from four files, and for the arm that matters most there was no detail line to reconstruct it from. Also: `spike --codec pyrowave`, so a PyroWave capture→encode pass can be driven without a client. That is the harness the rest of this program measures on, and it did not exist. Gates on .21 at CI parity: fmt, workspace clippy -D warnings, pf-encode clippy with nvenc,vulkan-encode,pyrowave and without, workspace tests.	2026-08-08 13:36:51 +02:00
enricobuehler	6cffe29b13	feat(host,console): hide individual library titles ... The library had one visibility control and it was all-or-nothing: turn a SOURCE off and every one of its games goes. There was no way to drop a single title — a Proton tool the filter missed, a demo, a game someone doesn't want on the TV — short of hiding the whole launcher it came from. **Where the setting lives.** Not on the entry. Only manual custom entries are stored; a scanner's and a plugin's titles are rebuilt from scratch on every scan and every reconcile, so a flag written onto one would be erased by the next sync — silently, and minutes later, which is the worst possible shape for a setting. So `library-hidden.json` holds the ids, mirroring how `library-scanners.json` holds disabled sources. The id is stable by construction (D2: a claimed store's entries keep `<store>:<external_id>` across reconciles), so a hide survives a re-scan, a plugin restart, and a store's built-in→plugin migration. **Where it takes effect.** In `all_games`, which is the one place every play surface already funnels through — the grid on a client, native clients, the GameStream app list, and launch resolution. Putting it there rather than at each call site is deliberate: a per-surface filter is a rule someone has to remember, and forgetting one is precisely the class of bug the `file://` art asymmetry in the previous commit was. Hiding is curation, not access control — nothing is deleted, and un-hiding is instant. **The console is the one surface that still sees them**, or a hidden title could never be brought back. That exception is a TYPE, not a flag: `GET /library` answers `Vec<GameEntry>` on every lane but the operator's and `Vec<OperatorGameEntry>` on theirs, so a hidden entry cannot reach a paired streaming client by someone forgetting a filter — there is no field there to leak. `hidden` is skipped when false, so the response is byte-identical to today's for a library with nothing hidden. `PUT /library/hidden/{id}` is operator-only — neither the plugin lane nor a paired cert, unlike the scanner toggle. A plugin has no business deciding what its operator sees, and a client must not be able to hide a game on the host it is streaming from. The id is not validated against the current library on purpose: a title can be legitimately absent at that moment (launcher closed, plugin mid-sync, drive unmounted), and refusing the operator's choice in that window is worse than storing an id that matches nothing today. On the card, the poster dims and a Hidden badge says why — a faded tile with no label reads as a broken cover. Its controls stay at full contrast and, unlike an ordinary card's, are not hover-revealed: the un-hide button is the only way out of the state, and hiding it behind a hover would strand anyone on a touch screen. Verified on .21 (Linux): 469 host tests pass (5 new), clippy clean under `-D warnings`, `cargo fmt --all --check` clean. The routing test is the one that earns its keep — every library id contains a colon and Heroic's contain two, so a router that split on it would 404 the console against ids the host itself produced. Console: tsc clean, production build clean, i18n 633 messages across en+de, biome clean on the touched files.	2026-08-08 12:33:54 +02:00
enricobuehler	d237646c66	fix(host,sdk,kit): library scanners sat in the nav, could not sync local art, and so never got their settings ... Three symptoms on .21, two defects. Lutris and Heroic appeared in the console sidebar they explicitly opt out of; Lutris's settings were unreachable from the Library screen; and Lutris and Steam logged `sync (startup) failed: HostRequestError`. **The sidebar is a publish gap.** The console is correct — it keeps `category: "library"` plugins out of the nav (`uiPlugins`, app-shell.tsx) — but the host reports no category for them at all. `defineLibraryPlugin` sets it and `sdk/src/ui.ts` forwards it; what SHIPS does not. `@punktfunk/host` was bumped to 0.1.2 on 2026-07-20 and `category` landed 2026-08-05 without a bump, so the registry's 0.1.2 is the pre-category build and every installed scanner registers without one. Bumps the SDK to 0.1.3 — **inert until it is published**. Because the field rides the untyped `pf.request` seam so an older host ignores it rather than rejecting the registration, dropping it is silent by design. `serveUi` now reads its own directory entry back and warns once when a requested category did not land, the same way `defineLibraryPlugin` already warns when a store claim did not take. That is what turns the next occurrence into a log line instead of a bug report. **The missing settings and the failed sync are ONE defect: a write/read disagreement about `file://`.** `local_art_bytes` decodes a `file://` value before testing containment; `validate_art_paths` handed the raw value to `Path::new`, where `file:///home/u/c.jpg` is a RELATIVE path whose first component is `file:`. It canonicalized against the cwd, failed, and read as "outside every art root". So the host refused every cover the kit's own `fileUrl` helper emits — the documented way for a plugin to publish local art — while the read path would have served those same files. That the two symptoms share a cause is not obvious and is why this is one commit: the Library screen's settings control renders only for `origin: "plugin"`, and a source becomes `plugin` only once it holds a store CLAIM, which is taken during a successful reconcile. Lutris failed at entry 0 and Steam at entry 3, so neither ever claimed its store, both stayed `origin: "builtin"`, and neither got a settings button. Heroic reconciled (its art is http(s)) and has had its settings all along; rom-manager was never affected because zero entries meant it never applied. `art_path_is_servable` now decodes first, so both halves of the confinement judge the same string. Confinement itself is unchanged: an out-of-root path is still refused in `file://` clothing, which the test asserts alongside the accept case. Diagnosing this took the HOST's journal, because both surfaces that should have explained it lied. `HostRequestError` stringified to its bare tag, so the sync engine's `${e.cause}` logged `HostRequestError` and discarded the method, the path and the host's own message; it now renders all three, including an object-shaped cause that used to print `[object Object]`. And the host logged "payload carries a field this lane may not set" for BOTH refusals in `check_entry_fields`, so a 400 about an art path read as an auth problem — it now logs the real reason and the entry title. Verified on .21 (Linux): 463 host tests pass, clippy clean under `-D warnings`, `cargo fmt --all --check` clean. The new art test fails without the fix and passes with it. plugin-kit 71 and SDK 72 tests pass, both typecheck clean, biome clean.	2026-08-08 11:43:30 +02:00
enricobuehler	bfed711921	Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into audio/latency-overhaul	2026-08-08 00:16:02 +02:00
enricobuehler	12a5318397	fix(audio): place audio with the picture instead of wherever the ring settles ... The host stamps `pts_ns` on every audio datagram and the client decoded it into `AudioPacket` — and then never read it. Video's `pts_ns` is used end to end (the presenter computes a true glass-to-glass `displayed + clock_offset − pts`), so audio free-ran at whatever depth its jitter ring happened to reach, video was presented on an independent path, and nothing ever compared them. The A/V offset was an accident of buffer depths: it moved whenever the ring ratcheted under underrun pressure, and it got WORSE every time video got faster, because a quicker decoder lowers the video leg and leaves audio's exactly where it was. That is what a field report on the Steam Deck heard as "the audio delay is way too high", and it is why shaving milliseconds off the audio budget had not helped. Video is the master. In a game streamer the video leg is the input-feel budget and must never be inflated to satisfy the audio clock, while audio tolerates small crossfaded corrections that are inaudible — and `crossfade_drop` already applies them. So audio moves: audio_e2e = (now + buffered_ahead + clock_offset) − pts_ns av_offset = audio_e2e − video_e2e (> 0 ⇒ audio behind the picture) `AvSync` smooths that with an EWMA, ignores what sits inside a deadband no listener can detect, refuses the implausible outright rather than clamping it (a wall-clock step must not steer the ring), and proposes a depth. Continuity outranks sync, always. `JitterPolicy::set_sync_target` only ever takes a REQUEST, clamped between the existing underrun-driven floor and the hard cap. A link whose jitter genuinely needs more buffer than the picture is away keeps its buffer and the residual is reported — sync can never starve the ring into dropouts. `None` is the default and reproduces the previous behaviour exactly, so the four client rings can adopt this one at a time without diverging. Two upstream defects found on the way, both prerequisites: * The host stamped `pts_ns` at ENCODE time, inside the loop draining an already-accumulated chunk, so every frame of a chunk carried near-identical timestamps describing when we got round to encoding. Harmless while nothing consumed it; a sync loop regulating against it would regulate against a fiction. It now comes off the capture clock. * The host did not pace. One capture callback hands over a whole quantum — 5 ms when the graph honours our ask, 21.3 ms on a VM, where stock PipeWire raises `min-quantum` to 1024 — and the loop drained all of it into back-to-back `send_datagram` calls. The wire carried a 4-5 frame burst then ~21 ms of nothing, and a ring can only absorb that by standing a burst period deep. Frames now leave on the audio clock, which costs no average latency. And the reason none of this was visible: `buffer_ms`/`target_ms` existed only as a `tracing::debug!` line, absent from `Stats`. On a Deck the client runs under Steam's `reaper` with stdout on a pipe nobody can read, so the one number identifying a deep ring was unobtainable on the device reporting the latency. The HUD now carries `audio buffer N ms · a/v ±N ms` — both, because a deep ring on a jittery link is correct and only the offset separates that from audio held late. The host also reports its negotiated quantum against the one it asked for, per capture open rather than once per process. Verified: 364 core + 40 presenter tests on Linux, clippy -D warnings clean on punktfunk-{core,host} + pf-{client-core,presenter}, fmt clean. New tests pin the safety invariant (sync cannot pull the target below the continuity floor on any preset), that `None` leaves the policy bit-identical, and that a device quantum exceeding the hard cap does not panic `Ord::clamp` inside a realtime callback. Android and Apple keep today's behaviour (the `None` default) until their presenters publish a video figure to align against; design/audio-latency- overhaul.md carries the plan.	2026-08-07 23:33:45 +02:00
enricobuehler	5a4305c072	merge: bring current main into the gyro correctness branch ... main moved ~60 commits while this branch was in progress, and one of them matters here: PR #88 (the phone-gyro mirror) landed, touching the same motion path. One conflicted file, `GamepadCapture.swift`, in three places — all of them the two changes meeting rather than disagreeing: - **Slot fields.** #88 added `motionSent` + `lastAccel` for its flush-parks-motion fix; this branch removed `lastMotionNs` with the 4 ms drop-throttle. Kept both decisions: the parking state stays, the throttle field goes. - **forwardMotion's head.** #88 added the mirror stand-down (`pad 0` yields while the phone speaks for it); this branch deleted the throttle guard. Kept the stand-down, dropped the guard. - **The send.** This branch converts into the DualSense report frame; #88 records what went out so `flush` can replay it beside a zero gyro. Both, with the recording placed AFTER the conversion — `flush` replays `lastAccel`, so it has to be the vector that actually went on the wire, or a still pad's gravity gets parked in the wrong axis. The two features compose exactly, which is worth stating because it is not luck: this branch gates motion capture on `hasRotationRate`, and #88 engages the phone mirror when `hasRotationRate != true`. They are complements — a pad either drives its own gyro or the phone mirrors for it, never both and never neither. Everything else auto-merged. Note `DeviceGyroRemapTests` is `#if os(iOS)`, so the macOS suite reports the same 215 as before the merge rather than gaining #88's six — checked, not assumed. Gates re-run against the merged tree rather than trusting either side's: Linux fmt + build + `clippy --locked --all-targets -D warnings` + punktfunk-core and pf-inject suites; Apple 215 tests and the iOS-triple typecheck; Android kit + app compile and tests. All green.	2026-08-07 19:34:22 +02:00
enricobuehler	8551e88fcb	merge: bring current main into the audio-substrate branch ... Two conflicts, both unions of independent removals/fixes: main fixed the same three install.rs SAFETY comments this branch fixed (main's phrasing kept), and the runner provisioning drops BOTH env lines — main removed PF_FFVK_VULKAN_INCLUDE (pf-ffvk is gone since the FFmpeg replacement), this branch removed VBCABLE_DIR (the retirement).	2026-08-07 17:49:50 +02:00
enricobuehler	ebc2f1cf92	feat(host/audio): the minted microphone returns to tier-0 — pitch-true ... The revert un-reverts, on measurement: with the per-direction stamp sets (render = the pad-proven PCM16-device/float-mix stereo split, capture = device-format only), micpitch reads 440 Hz in as 440 Hz out at exact peak. The octave-low voice was the driver DEFAULT endpoints disagreeing (stereo render vs mono capture), never a raw-crossing design. The user called the wrong verdict — the pad program 4ch success was the counter-evidence that reopened the case.	2026-08-07 16:53:48 +02:00
enricobuehler	52cd42e911	fix(host/audio): capture endpoints get the device format only ... Live bisect on a fresh endpoint: the mix/host format keys are RENDER-engine properties — stamped onto a capture endpoint they broke its shared-mode graph (IsFormatSupported reported 2ch/48k OK while Initialize failed 0x88890008 on a once-stamped fresh endpoint; unstamped it opened fine, S3). The capture now gets ONLY the device-format key — the knob mmsys.cpl itself writes — declaring the stereo the pins actually accept.	2026-08-07 16:49:15 +02:00
enricobuehler	8c274d6256	fix(host/devtest): the probe asks stereo — its mono ask WAS the unopenable endpoint ... Measured resolution of the 0x88890008 mystery: IsFormatSupported said the capture accepts 2ch/48k shared while Initialize kept failing — because the probe itself had switched to a MONO ask for frequency counting, and this stack does not bridge channel counts on capture even under autoconvert. Every unopenable-endpoint verdict after that switch was the instrument, not the endpoint. Stereo ask restored; crossings counted on channel 0.	2026-08-07 16:44:01 +02:00
enricobuehler	16e506f943	feat(host/devtest): audio-probe micpins — the driver-capability map ... Exclusive+shared IsFormatSupported across {1,2}ch x {16,32}bit x {44.1,48,96}kHz on both minted mic pins. Interrogates the DRIVER, bypassing every endpoint-store stamping question: what the pins truly accept decides whether the mic leg has any coherent configuration, and whether an exclusive-mode mono open is an escape hatch. (The pad program made its own breakthrough with exactly this instrument on the sibling SSS driver.)	2026-08-07 16:39:48 +02:00
enricobuehler	2eed9823e5	fix(host/audio): the mic pair gets the pad-proven coherent stereo stamp set ... The user challenged the format-locked-pins verdict, and the pad program is the counter-evidence: it hit the SAME 0x88890008 unopenable-endpoint signature and cured it with a COHERENT stamp set, after which the same driver family served 4ch happily. This branch previous attempts were contaminated twice over — a float device-format (the pad bisect proved the split must be PCM16 device / float mix+host) and no AudioEndpointBuilder restart (Restart-Service Audiosrv never touches its dependency, so endpoint configs were never rebuilt). Both mic endpoints now get one identical coherent stereo set; the octave-low hypothesis shifts from "raw crossing by design" to "the two endpoint stores disagreed (stereo render default vs mono capture default)".	2026-08-07 16:33:20 +02:00
enricobuehler	cc53b3d6b0	fix(host/audio): unwire the minted microphone — the driver mic path is unusable ... Final pitch-probe verdict on the SSM driver pair: the render pin is stereo-only, the capture pin mono-only (stamping either differently makes the endpoint unopenable), and the crossing between them is a RAW byte pass — so voice fed through the render endpoint reads back an octave low and no format stamp can fix it. S3 peak-based PASS = false pass; per the design doc revert clause the mic falls back to the name ladder (a virtual cable), pending the user re-decision. The SPEAKERS substrate keeps tier-0 (no driver crossing — a plain engine loopback tap, measured clean). minted_ids() publishes speakers only; the mic endpoints stay minted and recorded (provisioned()) for the micpitch probe and a possible future non-render transport, and their format stamps now pin each side to its pin one true format — healing the endpoints this branch earlier mis-stamped.	2026-08-07 16:06:56 +02:00
enricobuehler	5922cbe325	fix(host/audio): the minted mic pair declares stereo on BOTH sides ... Second measurement round: the driver render pin is STEREO-ONLY — the mono render stamp turned the endpoint unopenable (0x88890008 on every open, the incoherent-stamp signature the pad program documented). Since the crossing is raw, the coherent choice inverts: the CAPTURE side now declares the stereo float stream that actually crosses (fixing the octave-low voice), and the render has its stereo float default stamped explicitly — pinning the pair AND healing any endpoint a previous build left mono-stamped.	2026-08-07 16:01:39 +02:00
enricobuehler	ed98814145	fix(host/audio): the minted microphone renders MONO — voice was an octave low ... Measured with the new pitch probe: 440 Hz into the minted mic render came back as 220 Hz off its capture side. The driver forwards the render stream RAW into its mono capture, so a stereo-declared render (the driver-default we inherited) turns every stereo frame into two mono samples — half speed, octave down, exactly the field report. The mic render now gets a coherent MONO 48 kHz format set stamped alongside its name (PCM16 device format + float mix/host formats), making the engine downmix before the driver crossing. The mic pump keeps pushing stereo; shared-mode autoconvert handles the rest.	2026-08-07 15:57:19 +02:00
enricobuehler	0cf76af0c2	feat(host/devtest): audio-probe measures pitch, not just peaks ... Field report through the minted microphone: voice plays back an octave low. Peaks are pitch-blind — S3 passed while a potential half-rate link hid in the numbers (288k samples fits both the honest and the half-speed story). Every probe measurement now estimates the dominant frequency by zero crossings over the signal span, and `audio-probe micpitch` runs the decisive experiment against the LIVE minted pair: 440 Hz in, frequency out — ~440 = pair innocent, ~220 = the stereo render stream is forwarded raw into the mono capture.	2026-08-07 15:53:00 +02:00
enricobuehler	7993386900	feat(host/audio): the minted endpoints get their names — 'Punktfunk Speakers/Microphone' ... Field-measured necessity, not cosmetics: unstamped, the minted instances read 'Lautsprecher (2- Steam Streaming Microphone)' and even the box's owner picked the wrong device out of the Sound settings zoo (as did the S1 probe's name match before it). The provider now stamps device-desc + device-name through the pad program's proven machinery — write_stamps/ stamps_served, extracted from the pad-only stamp functions — with the same store-first/registry-fallback routes and settle/re-pass discipline. Names only: a wider stamp set makes AudioEndpointBuilder re-mint the endpoint under a new GUID (measured on pads). Stamping is best-effort (SYSTEM ACL route); the wiring never depends on names — identity stays the recorded id.	2026-08-07 15:33:52 +02:00
enricobuehler	ce5047f3ad	fix(host/pads): the Windows driver stops halving motion and stops serving torn reports ... G6 + G15 of the gyro program. G6 — the UMDF gamepad driver's input path. Its timer ran at 8 ms and completed one pended READ_REPORT per tick, so a game could observe at most ~125 Hz while clients stream motion at ~250 Hz: every other sample was overwritten in the slot before anything read it, and the ones that survived carried up to 8 ms of extra latency. For gyro, a dropped sample is not a dropped frame — it is rotation that never reaches the game. The timer now ticks at 2 ms (about a real DualShock 4's Bluetooth cadence). Only the cheap half runs on every tick: read the input slot, complete one pended read. The channel handshake and the health marks stay on their historical ~8 ms, because they cost more, nothing wants them faster, and `driver_heartbeat`'s documented "+1 per ~8 ms tick" is what the host reads as liveness. The same slot is a single unqueued buffer that both sides touch without a lock, so a driver read landing mid-copy handed the game a report that was half the previous frame and half the next. For a button that is a one-tick glitch; for motion it is a spike in angular velocity, which an integrator turns into aim movement. `PadShm` gains an `input_gen` seqlock (v2.3, carved from reserved space inside the v2 legacy region): the host takes it odd, fences, writes the 64 bytes, and stores it even; the driver samples it either side of its read and retries once. The old code's own comment called this out as a known residual — it is now closed rather than documented. Version posture matches the ring's, with one simplification: no capability stamp is needed, because an old host never writes the field and a constant 0 is indistinguishable from "no write in flight", so a new driver against an old host behaves exactly as it does today, and an old driver ignores the field entirely. The Steam Deck write path had neither the seqlock nor even the trailing Release its DualSense sibling carried; all three Windows backends now publish through one `publish_input`. G15 — motion-cadence observability. The host already computed the measurement a "gyro feels floaty" report needs (client inter-arrival percentiles), but kept ONE global accumulator, so two motion-capable pads in a session interleaved into each other's gaps and produced a number describing neither. It also sat at `debug` behind a `tracing::enabled!` check, so a field log arrived with nothing in it and the only way to get the measurement was to ask for a re-run. Now per-pad and always on, summarized at `info` when the session ends — the moment a field report is being written. It costs one subtraction and one array increment per sample: percentiles come from a fixed log2 histogram instead of a growing sorted Vec, so there is no allocation, no per-window sort, and no way for a client streaming as fast as the link allows to make the instrument expensive. Percentiles are reported as bucket upper bounds (`_le`), which is a factor-of-two answer to a question whose answers are orders of magnitude apart. Gaps of 500 ms or more are counted as stalls rather than folded into the percentiles — an interruption is not a cadence, and averaging it in would report a healthy feed as a terrible one. Gates. Windows CI runner .133, the drivers workspace on the real WDK: cargo build, clippy -D warnings (which enforces the unsafe-audit lints), and fmt — all green, against a source whose SHA-256 matches this commit's. Linux CI image: fmt, build, clippy --all-targets -D warnings over pf-inject / punktfunk-core / punktfunk-probe / pf-client-core / pf-driver-proto / punktfunk-host, and the test suites including the 5 new motion-cadence tests — all green. Not measured on glass. G6's stated gate is a sensor-rate reading (SDL testcontroller or Steam's calibration screen) that matches the client's send rate; that is still owed, and a driver change only a compile has seen deserves it before anyone trusts the number.	2026-08-07 13:44:54 +02:00
enricobuehler	507ea58da8	fix(host/audio): the silent-sink check recognizes the minted Speakers ... Observed in the first real session on the substrate: the loopback ran on the minted 'Punktfunk Speakers' (silent on the host by construction), but have_silent name-matches only the Streaming Microphone — so the capture open logged 'desktop audio will also play on the host' (false) and re-attempted the Steam-pair install it doesn't need. The minted sink is recognized by id; its name honestly says Speakers, which the name rule must keep refusing for FOREIGN instances.	2026-08-07 12:59:15 +02:00
enricobuehler	99a59fb5c7	fix(host/audio): the mic pump's first resolve waits for the minted endpoints ... Measured on the target box: the pump wired 2 s before the provisioning worker latched, took the cable as its write target, and the next wiring pass would then have paired the default recording with the minted microphone — which nothing writes into: dead mic-air until a pump reopen. resolve_target now provisions synchronously (instant once latched; the opt-out env is honoured), so the pump's held device and the plan's verdict can never disagree.	2026-08-07 12:02:48 +02:00
enricobuehler	3870cdd1da	feat(host/mgmt): the audio wiring verdict joins /status ... RuntimeStatus gains an 'audio' object (Windows hosts): readiness (full/audio_only/mic_only/none), the friendly names carrying each role, and the three degradation flags (mic_withheld, last_resort, narrowing) — the verdicts that previously lived only in tracing logs. Snapshot of the last wiring pass (the mic pump wires at host start and on every reopen); a status poll never triggers COM work or IPolicyConfig writes.	2026-08-07 11:53:15 +02:00
enricobuehler	79c72fa64d	fix(host/audio): capture endpoints carry the {0.0.1.…} id prefix ... The capture-direction lookup built its endpoint id with the RENDER prefix {0.0.0.00000000}., but WASAPI's enumeration returns capture ids as {0.0.1.00000000}.{guid} — so the minted microphone's capture side never string-matched the enumeration and the wiring plan paired no recording device (audio-probe plan on the target box: mic_capture = '-'). Measured; IMMDeviceEnumerator::GetDevice tolerated the wrong prefix, which is why the S3 spike's direct open still passed.	2026-08-07 11:37:39 +02:00
enricobuehler	64655c5275	fix(host/devtest): audio-probe plan provisions synchronously ... A fresh CLI process has no startup worker to have finished, so the plan devtest raced its own background provisioning thread and printed the name ladder instead of tier-0. ensure_blocking() re-resolves existing marker devnodes in milliseconds before the wiring pass runs.	2026-08-07 11:32:05 +02:00
enricobuehler	4a621de6b1	chore(packaging): retire VB-Cable — audio's substrate is Steam's drivers ... The other half of the audio-substrate decision (spikes S2+S3 green, minted endpoints landed in the previous commit): stop bundling a third-party kernel driver the host no longer needs. installer the VB-CABLE task, payload, silent-install run and the donationware notice are gone; a suppressible notice tells a Steam-less box that audio needs Steam INSTALLED (never running) and that installing it later just works. A cable from an older install is still deliberately not removed. packer + CI -VbCableDir/VBCABLE_DIR, the staged-payload check and the runner provisioning download are gone; SBOM drops the redistributed-driver component. winget the VB-Audio bundling-grant agreement becomes the honest Steam requirement (surfaced on the unattended path where no wizard is on screen). docs windows-host/uninstall/security/echo say what actually ships: no kernel-mode driver of our own, endpoints minted from Valve's vendor-signed drivers, VB-CABLE mentioned only as the historical fallback that keeps working. host wording the mic-open guidance and module headers lead with Steam; the NAME ladder itself is untouched — demoting 'cable input' was considered and rejected (on a box where minting transiently fails, the SSM would outrank an installed cable, steal the silent sink, and make audio host-audible).	2026-08-07 11:27:29 +02:00
enricobuehler	0b160a4e22	feat(host/audio): minted Punktfunk endpoints become the wiring plan's tier-0 ... The audio-substrate program's Phase 2 (spikes S2+S3 measured green on the target box): the host mints its OWN instances of Valve's streaming-audio drivers and wires by IDENTITY instead of borrowing Steam's primaries — minted.rs the provider: one devnode per role ('Punktfunk Speakers' from SteamStreamingSpeakers.inf, 'Punktfunk Microphone' from SteamStreamingMicrophone.inf), marker-matched across restarts (PunktfunkAudioRole in Device Parameters — names are NOT identity, a minted instance is name-identical to the primaries), provisioned on a startup worker like pad audio, retried with a 60 s cool-down from wiring passes, defaults restored when a fresh endpoint grabs them. wiring_plan MintedIds tier-0: the mic takes its minted device outright (capture side paired by the provider's id — a name search cannot tell it from the primary), the loopback prefers the minted sink at the head of the silent tier, an operator override still beats everything, a narrowing minted sink demotes below real hardware, and stale ids fall back to the ladder unchanged. Plus AudioReadiness — the full/audio-only/mic-only/nothing classification, logged with every plan change (§C4's seed). audio-probe 'mint' runs the provider synchronously; 'plan' prints one real wiring pass + readiness — the field-triage command. Without Steam's drivers nothing changes: provisioning degrades to absent ids and the plan keeps the name-based ladder (primaries → cable → real hardware) exactly as before.	2026-08-07 11:22:06 +02:00
enricobuehler	bbbcf321e5	Merge origin/main into worktree-native-decode-m0 ... main moved 93 commits while this branch ran. Two conflicts, both where main's new work sat next to M10's excision: packaging/flatpak/io.unom.Punktfunk.yml — main added the vendored gamescope WSI layer (the only route to HDR on a Deck) and, before it, a vulkan-headers module. Took both: this branch predates them and deletes neither. But the headers module's stated consumer was pf-ffvk's bindgen over FFmpeg's hwcontext_vulkan.h, and M10 deleted pf-ffvk — so it now reads as dead weight to the next person. It is not: the WSI layer IS a Vulkan layer, compiles against those headers, and builds after it, so module order is the dependency. Rewrote the rationale to say so, including why dropping it would be expensive to discover — flatpak.yml has no pull_request: trigger, so a manifest break reaches main invisibly and a tag then ships no Linux flatpak. Also recorded that the native decoder needs nothing from there: pf-vkdecode reaches Vulkan through ash, which is pure Rust bindings, no bindgen, no C headers. crates/pf-console-ui/src/screens/settings.rs — main restructured the gamepad settings into TABS, which removed the per-row section headers; this branch had left Some("Video") untouched from the merge base and added the pre-M10 decoder migration next to it. Git could not tell those apart. Took main's structure (no header, its deliberate change) with this branch's migration layered on: a stored `vulkan`, `vaapi` or `d3d11va` names no preset in the tabbed list and would render as "—", then silently rewrite the user's preference on the next save. Gates on the merged tree, Linux container: fmt clean; cargo check --workspace --all-targets clean; clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean; tests green across pf-vkdecode (187), pf-client-core (163), pf-console-ui (58) and punktfunk-host (447 of 448 — the one failure is the pre-existing gamestream::stream::tests::sender_delivers_batches, a UDP-loopback EINTR under qemu that fails identically on a pristine HEAD).	2026-08-07 10:50:32 +02:00
enricobuehler	03ee3e55d7	feat(host/devtest): audio-probe — the audio-substrate spike measurements ... The S1-S3 spikes from windows-audio-endpoints-and-vbcable.md as one runnable devtest (no game, no client, ssh-drivable): audio-probe ssm S3, the decision gate: mint a SECOND devnode of Valve's Steam Streaming Microphone driver and prove the pair end to end (tone into its render endpoint must come back out of its capture endpoint). Pass = a punktfunk-owned virtual mic needs no VB-Cable wherever Steam is installed. audio-probe sink S2: mint a Speakers instance, park the DEFAULT playback on it, tone through the default device, WASAPI-loopback the instance - the desktop-audio capture path minus the game. audio-probe sss-primary S1: the primary Speakers' known-silent loopback, re-measured, with mix format + steam.exe state. audio-probe cleanup remove every probe-minted devnode (marker value in Device Parameters, never name-guessing). pad_endpoint grows the first slice of the design's §C1 shared minting surface: create_media_devnode(desc, hwid, mark), bind_driver(hwid, inf), find_capture_endpoint_for_devnode — the pad provisioner now calls the same functions. The probe restores whatever default devices the minting disturbed before it exits.	2026-08-07 10:47:00 +02:00
enricobuehler	152047051c	fix(host/windows): three SID unsafe blocks get their safety proofs ... install.rs (landed 2026-08-05 with the security-review remediation, while the Windows CI runner was down) fails windows-host.yml's clippy gate: #![deny(clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks)] wants the SAFETY comment on the line preceding EACH unsafe block, and three blocks didn't have one — two sat behind a comment anchored to the enclosing closure/neighbouring statement, and EqualSid had none at all. Comments only; no behavior change.	2026-08-07 10:38:03 +02:00

enricobuehler	ef8214415f	fix(host/audio): game audio outranks the mic on cable-less boxes ... The wiring plan reserved the mic target unconditionally first, so on a box without VB-Cable the mic took the Steam Streaming Microphone — the only working client-only loopback sink — and desktop audio fell to the known-silent Speakers last resort: a headless Steam-only host streamed SILENCE (the 2026-08 field case), and the installer's 'optional (mic passthrough)' wording never warned anyone. The mic may now hold the Streaming Microphone only while the loopback still gets a preferred (non-last-resort) pick without it — another silent sink or real hardware. Otherwise the loopback takes the endpoint and the mic falls to a lesser candidate or is honestly withheld (Wiring::mic_withheld), with the open error naming the trade and the remedy. An operator PUNKTFUNK_MIC_DEVICE override is exempt: an explicit choice may still strand the loopback on the last resort. Also: the Steam-pair auto-install latch is now once per INF-state instead of once per process — an attempt made while Steam was absent re-arms when its driver INFs later appear (files are invisible to the endpoint-set fingerprint, so nothing else would ever retry), and a withheld mic skips the pointless reinstall (the pair exists; the plan gave it to the loopback).	2026-08-07 10:29:37 +02:00
enricobuehler	75dfab1d35	fix(host): a reconnecting session inherits its launch instead of starting it again ... Two defects, found while tracing M8's codec-fallback reconnect and recorded verbatim in d5e23146 as out of scope there. A client retry re-sends Hello::launch verbatim, and the host launched unconditionally. Steam and Epic URIs hide it — the launcher focuses the running copy — but a gog:/custom: target really did start a SECOND COPY of the game. The client cannot fix it by dropping the field: on Linux the per-session gamescope is re-adopted through pf-vdisplay's display registry, whose reuse key includes the launch command, so a retry without it orphans the running game. And the retry minted a fresh launch_stamp, so procscan refused to adopt a game started more than 2 s before it — the game was minutes old, so a reconnected session had no game-exit detection for the rest of its life. Both are now answered by a launch registry (launchreg.rs): one record per (client fingerprint, library id), written at launch time and INDEPENDENT OF THE TERMINATION POLICY. That independence is the point. The existing fingerprint-keyed reclaim only exists under GameOnSessionEnd::Always — under the default Keep, arm_grace is never called, so nothing was recorded at all in exactly the configuration the defect was reported in. The design correction that matters: at launch time the host knows NOTHING about the game's processes — that is the premise of the whole lease design. So identity flows BACKWARDS from the watcher, which publishes the concrete ProcRefs it adopted, and the registry's liveness is Scanner::alive over that recorded set, re-verified by (pid, start). Never a re-scan by spec: a later scan would find a copy the player started since, and adopting that is what procscan's rule 1 forbids. The published set is never cleared on exit either — the last thing the watcher saw is what makes a quit game read Gone rather than "no opinion", which is how it becomes relaunchable at once instead of being suppressed for the window. On rule 1: an adopting session inherits the older floor, so its own find() admits what the ORIGINAL session's lease already admitted for its whole life. That is the correct reading of "the same launch, continued" and not a new exposure — rule 1 forbids adopting processes that PREDATE the launch, and these postdate it. The match rule is pure and total (covers()): liveness is authoritative where it has an opinion, and only Unknown falls through to the tie-breakers — a live holder, or a 90 s in-flight window for a re-dial while the launcher is still working. Gone beats both, deliberately: a title that crashed on startup must relaunch at once. Both race orders are handled and neither is relied on. Teardown-first takes the Running arm; handshake-first (a fast re-dial on a half-open connection) takes the holders>0 arm, and the old teardown then sees superseded() and does nothing — without which, under Always, it would arm a grace the new session had already passed its chance to reprieve, and the reaper would kill the new session's game. Two tradeoffs taken deliberately: a custom: command with no detection hints stays Unknown forever, so that reconnect trades game-exit detection for not double-spawning; and IN_FLIGHT_WINDOW is a fixed 90 s rather than sharing disconnect_grace_seconds, because the two have opposite failure costs — grace being wrong leaves a game running, this being wrong silently swallows a launch the player asked for. Gates: fmt clean; clippy -p punktfunk-host --all-targets -D warnings green in the Linux container; 418 passed, +9 exactly the new tests. One failure, gamestream::stream::tests::sender_delivers_batches, is pre-existing and environmental — a UDP-loopback EINTR under qemu at stream.rs:1697, outside every hunk in this change (the last is at +448), and it fails identically on a pristine HEAD. I reproduced both the failure and its location myself rather than taking it on report. ⚠ OWED: the Windows leg is COMPILE-UNVERIFIED. cargo check --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc dies in ring's C build on macOS and xcheck.sh does not cover punktfunk-host. The Windows edits are small restructures of existing branches plus a bool assignment, reasoned through but seen by no compiler. Run it on .133 before this merges. I narrowed that exposure by inspection afterwards, and it is smaller than the blanket warning suggests. The change presents exactly two things to a Windows compiler that a Linux one did not already see. launchreg gates only alive_count (lines 227/231), whose cfg(any(linux, windows)) arm calls Scanner::system().alive(procs) — the identical call gamelease.rs:563 already makes in code that compiles on Windows today. And the Windows launch arm at native/stream.rs:1666 reads only ungated bindings the Linux arm type-checks thirty lines below it (adopt_launch:1658, spawned_now:1663, launch_claim:1463) and calls only the pre-existing library::launch_title. No new type, no new signature, no Windows-only API. That is an argument, not a compile. The run on .133 is still owed.	2026-08-07 10:14:21 +02:00
enricobuehler	138a1f1b2f	fix(host/windows): the staging-dir SID checks document their unsafe blocks ... clippy's undocumented_unsafe_blocks (deny) flagged the three blocks that 81039581 introduced: the SAFETY comment sat outside the closure, so IsValidSid/EqualSid inside it read as undocumented, and from_raw_parts shared a comment that only covered the GetLengthSid line above it. Windows host clippy is the only leg that lints this cfg(windows) code, red since.	2026-08-07 10:11:04 +02:00
enricobuehler	2366c4fe31	feat(pf-encode,host): price the HEVC sub-frame trade so arbitration can cover it ... The named next step after WP3's first increment. That increment deliberately REFUSED to arbitrate HEVC-with-sub-frame -- the fleet default, and the reported field case -- because engaging split there gives up sub-frame readback, whose whole value is that the send overlaps the encode. An encoder measuring only encode time would see split as ~2x faster, take it, and make end-to-end latency worse while reporting a win. This supplies the missing number. The real comparison is encode_1eng + send_of_last_slice against encode_2eng + send_of_whole_AU, so the challenger owes roughly spread x (slices-1)/slices. Split across the two sides that can each see half: - Host: new `Encoder::set_send_spread_us` (defaulted, forwarded by TrackedEncoder -- same trap class as set_wire_chunking, and unforwarded it would fail SILENTLY IN THE SAFE DIRECTION, which is the hardest kind to notice). The send thread is the only place a paced send is observed and the encode loop the only place the encoder can be touched, so it goes over an AtomicU32 like encoder_ceiling_kbps, EWMA-smoothed 3:1 per completed AU: one content spike must not flip a verdict that then gets cached. - Encoder: turns the raw spread into the handicap, because only it knows `slices`. SplitArbiter::with_handicap charges it to the challenger before the comparison. A unit test runs identical encode numbers with a cheap and an expensive send and asserts the verdict REVERSES -- with an expensive send the arm that looks twice as fast is a loss end to end, and the incumbent must hold. That is precisely the regression an encode-only arbiter ships. Gate now opens for HEVC+sub-frame only when a spread has actually been reported (and slices >= 2); with no hint it still refuses, so behaviour is unchanged until the host feeds it. Two mechanics this needed: - apply_split_mode became a PAIR flip (split + sub-frame), routed through resolve_split_subframe and restoring from `subframe_opened_with` so a session that never had sub-frame can never gain it. It also recomputes `subframe_chunks`, which reconfigure_bitrate does NOT -- spike S1c's finding; leave it stale and supports_chunked_poll keeps saying yes while numSlices never advances, so poll_chunk busy-polls its whole budget every AU. - The arbiter is now fed from BOTH completion points. A sub-frame session finishes through poll_chunk, so the incumbent arm of an HEVC experiment would otherwise never deliver a sample -- only the challenger, with sub-frame dropped, comes through poll. Verified .21: clippy -D warnings clean for pf-encode AND punktfunk-host with nvenc, 63 unit tests (1 new), 23/23 NVENC on-hardware green. Verified .133: Windows clippy -D warnings clean, zero dead_code. fmt clean.	2026-08-06 23:41:40 +02:00
enricobuehler	e9da37aaf6	feat(host/gamelease): a launcher tile's session stops depending on invisible state ... A launcher entry (design D4) has no "the game exited" moment to detect, but the lease was still deciding its lifetime from whatever happened to be true at launch — and the two outcomes disagree: launcher NOT already running the spawned child stays alive -> `Child` lease -> quitting the launcher ends the session launcher ALREADY running the command forwards to the live instance and exits inside SHIM_WINDOW, with no detect signals behind it -> `Untracked` -> the session persists Same tile, two lifetimes, chosen by something the user cannot see. Steam is the case that settles which one is right: Big Picture is a *mode* of an already-running Steam client, not a process — and on a Deck or SteamOS host Steam is always running — so no process signal can express "the launcher's window closed". Heroic has the same shape for a different reason (single-instance Electron: a second invocation forwards and exits). So a launcher entry is now `LeaseKind::Untracked` unconditionally. The check sits AHEAD of `nested`/`child`/`spec`, and that ordering is the fix rather than an implementation detail: a launcher the host just started leaves a live child behind, and tracking that child is precisely the inconsistency being removed. `Untracked` already meant the right things downstream, so nothing else had to change: no watcher thread, `terminate()` is a no-op ("nothing to end" — closing a session must not kill the user's Steam), and no `GameExited` event, so a client does not bounce back to its library when the launcher closes. Threaded as `LaunchTarget::launcher` -> `LeaseRequest::launcher` from the entry's `role`. Three call sites, one of which was the actual trap: the GameStream path does not build its lease from a `LaunchTarget` at all, it goes through a `GsApp` intermediate that silently dropped the field. An operator-typed `apps.json` command has no library entry behind it and is never a launcher tile, so it passes `false` explicitly. The test pins BOTH cases from the table above, plus the same request without the flag still being `Matched` — so the assertions are the flag's doing and not an artifact of the fixture. Gates: punktfunk-host 439 passed / 0 failed on .21 (+1). Not covered here: nothing publishes launcher tiles until the plugins are released, so there was no live exposure to fix — this is the semantics being made deliberate before the first tile is ever clicked.	2026-08-06 18:35:09 +02:00
enricobuehler	166e158afe	feat(host/library): an xbox launch kind a de-privileged plugin can publish ... The xbox scanner resolves each package's PackageFamilyName by enumerating %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\AppRepository\Packages. Probed on .173 (design doc S1), that directory is: NT AUTHORITY\LocalService UnauthorizedAccessException <- the plugin runner LocalSystem count=348 <- the host service So an extracted xbox plugin cannot build an AUMID, and `aumid` — which takes a complete `<PFN>!<AppId>` — is unpublishable by one. The design doc offered two fallbacks: entries without `aumid` (they would list but not launch), or a one-shot elevated PFN resolve at install time. This is neither. The plugin sends `<Identity>!<AppId>`, both read straight out of MicrosoftGame.config — which IS readable de-privileged — and the host resolves the publisher hash at LAUNCH time, where it already owns command construction. That keeps D1 intact (the plugin supplies a validated value, the host builds the command), it is the same shape as the `playnite` kind, and resolving late means a package update that changes the publisher hash cannot leave a stale unlaunchable tile behind — which the install-time cache would have. `xbox_pfn` therefore moves from the scan path to the launch path rather than being deleted, and its doc records the privilege asymmetry so the next reader doesn't re-derive it. The charset guard is factored out (`aumid_part` / `valid_aumid`) and shared with the `aumid` kind. On `aumid` it was belt-and-braces — every value was host-derived. On `xbox` it is load-bearing: the Identity arrives over the wire from a plugin, and it is interpolated into a `shell:AppsFolder\…` argument. Validated inbound at reconcile too, so a malformed value is a 400 the plugin author can act on rather than a tile that fails on click. Gates: punktfunk-host 438 passed / 0 failed on .21, and 55/0 for the library tests on .173 (where these arms actually compile). Both counts +1 for the new guard test.	2026-08-06 15:43:26 +02:00

enricobuehler	dd20a17edb	test(host/library): the art tests build a file:// URL Windows can read ... `local_art_bytes_is_confined_and_image_only` and `posix_local_art_is_classified_and_proxied` built their `file://` values as `format!("file://{path}")`. On Windows that yields `file://C:\covers\cover.png`, whose authority is `C:` — a UNC reference, not a local file — so the read half failed on the box and the host suite was red there. The parser is right and the tests were wrong: `@punktfunk/plugin-kit/library`'s `fileUrl` emits `file:///C:/covers/cover.png` (three slashes, forward separators) and `file_url_to_path` documents exactly that. A shared `file_url` helper now builds the value the way the kit does, so both tests exercise the real plugin contract on both platforms rather than a shape no plugin ever sends. Found while gating the Playnite launch kinds on .173 — Linux CI never compiles these arms, so the failure had gone unnoticed. Test-only: no product code changes.	2026-08-06 14:36:04 +02:00
enricobuehler	8ff2c2e1c6	feat(host/library): Playnite can publish again, and gets a fullscreen tile ... The Playnite plugin emits `kind: "command"` for every game (a `start "" "playnite://…"` shell line). The 2026-08-05 review made `command` operator-only, and `privileged_field` refuses a PROVIDER reconcile carrying one — so on this branch the published `@punktfunk/plugin-playnite@0.3.0` cannot publish anything at all. Not a launcher tile: not one game. That is a regression against a shipped plugin, and it is the same hole `launcher_ui` was created to close, one kind further along. Two kinds, both host-owned so D1 holds — the plugin supplies a validated VALUE and never a command line: playnite valued by the game's GUID; resolves to explorer.exe "playnite://playnite/start/<guid>", the same protocol-via-a-concrete-EXE shape the `epic` kind uses. GUID-validated on the way in (so a bad value is a 400 the plugin author can act on) and again at launch. launcher_ui now accepts "playnite" on Windows, resolving to Playnite.FullscreenApp.exe with Playnite's own install dir as the working directory. Fullscreen, not Desktop, is the whole point of a couch tile — and it is also why this one cannot ride the URI the games use: probed on .173, Playnite's registered `playnite://` handler is bound to Playnite.DesktopApp.exe, so no URI opens fullscreen mode. The exe is spawned directly, with the install dir read from Playnite's own uninstall entry (HKCU, then HKLM for a machine-wide install), falling back to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Playnite. `valid_launcher_ui("playnite")` is answered by RESOLUTION rather than by a static list: a host without Playnite installed refuses the entry instead of publishing a tile that does nothing when a user clicks it. That is the same instinct that left Epic, GOG Galaxy and the Xbox app off the list — each still needs its own verified activation, and a guess would ship exactly that dead tile. Gates: punktfunk-host 436 passed / 0 failed on .21 (the Linux arms), and the Windows arms compiled and their library tests run on .173.	2026-08-06 14:35:48 +02:00
enricobuehler	883c317872	feat(clients/library): a launcher tile looks like one, on every client ... The host has been able to describe a launcher entry since M2 — `role: "launcher"`, the `steam_ui` and `launcher_ui` kinds — and the web console has grouped them into their own rail since M4. No other client ever looked. `pf-client-core` decoded `role` into an `is_launcher()` helper with zero call sites, and the shared console model dropped the field entirely on its way to the renderer. So a launcher tile arrived everywhere else as an ordinary game with no cover art: indistinguishable from a title whose poster failed to load, sorted into the middle of the alphabet, and captioned "Play". One contract, implemented in each client's own idiom: * launchers never interleave with titles — they lead, and each group keeps the host's title order * grid surfaces get a labelled section; a coverflow keeps its single carousel and names the group the cursor is in, changing as it crosses the boundary. A second focus rail would mean a new up/down nav model in three renderers for two or three tiles * an art-less launcher gets an accent face naming its launcher, not a title monogram on the neutral one — "opens Steam", not "a cover that didn't load" * anything that is not `"launcher"` is a game, and a host that omits the field renders exactly as before (design D4's intended degradation) * launching is unchanged: the client sends an id, the host resolves the recipe The grouping is enforced once per client stack rather than per screen. In the console UI it is an invariant of `LibraryShared::set_games`, so the cursor arithmetic, the art pump and every future consumer inherit it; on Apple and Android it is applied where the library is fetched/parsed. Fixed in passing: the Apple and Android store badges were hard-coded `isCustom ? "Custom" : "Steam"`, so every Lutris, GOG, Heroic, Epic and Xbox title was labelled "Steam". Both now carry the same store table the Rust clients use. The CLI's `--library` gains a fourth column (`game`/`launcher`), appended rather than folded into an existing one so anything reading the first three is untouched. Gates: punktfunk-host 436 passed / 0 failed and pf-console-ui 49 passed / 0 failed on .21 (three new tests), workspace clippy -D warnings and cargo fmt --check clean there; `swift build` of the full PunktfunkClient and `:app:compileDebugKotlin` clean on macOS; `cargo check` + `clippy -D warnings` for the Windows client on .173. Still unproven on hardware: no launcher tile has been clicked on a real host — that needs the plugins published, which needs this branch's base merged first.	2026-08-06 14:35:24 +02:00
enricobuehler	76e8bd1b98	fix(host/gamelease): a game that exited stops counting as running ... When a launched game's processes are all gone, the watcher asks one last out-of-band question before ending the session: does the launcher still think the game is up? On Windows that reads Steam's per-app `Running` registry flag. It was only ever meant to be a tie-breaker for a scan that momentarily can't see the game — a launcher re-execing, an engine relaunching itself into a new pid. It had no bound. Honouring the flag reset the confirm window every pass, so a flag Steam left set — it does that whenever it doesn't cleanly observe the exit: it crashed, it was closed first, the game re-parented — pinned the lease in `running` for the life of the host. The console kept showing the game, `session_on_game_exit` never fired, and the only way to get the stream back was a manual "End". Reported from the field on Windows 0.24.0. `steam_running_hint` also believes the FIRST hive that says so, so a stale flag in any loaded profile was enough. The absence timer now keeps running instead of being reset, and that is what bounds it: past `VETO_LIMIT` (30 s) with nothing of the game on the box, the launcher's opinion is stale rather than early and the session ends anyway, logged at WARN so it is visible. Ending a moment early is the cheaper failure — the stream drops while the game lives, the user reconnects, and nothing is ever killed. Ending never was the bug. The rule is now a pure `exit_confirmed(gone_for, hint_running)` with a test. The watch loop polls a live process table and can't be unit-tested, which is exactly how an unbounded veto shipped unnoticed.	2026-08-06 13:58:24 +02:00
