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.

60-punktfunk.rules chgrp's the usbip vhci attach/detach nodes to a dedicated
`punktfunk` group (security-review 2026-08-05 M-4: writing `attach` materialises
an arbitrary emulated USB device, so it must not ride on `input`). Four of the
six install paths shipped that rule in 0.25.0 without ever creating the group.
chgrp then failed, the nodes stayed root:root 0644, and the virtual Steam Deck
pad silently never attached — while `usermod -aG punktfunk` failed outright with
"group 'punktfunk' does not exist".

Affected and fixed:

  * arch  — post_upgrade() called only _ensure_update_group, so every box that
            reached 0.25.0 by `pacman -Syu` missed it; post_install was correct.
  * nix   — no users.groups.punktfunk at all, though host.users' own description
            already promised the usbip/vhci pad. Declares it now and adds
            host.users to both groups.
  * bazzite sysext — a group is host state and cannot ride an image, and the
            deb/rpm scriptlets that would create it never run there.
  * steamdeck install.sh/update.sh — handled `input` only. Both now create the
            group and join it: running that script IS the statement "make my
            Deck a host with native pad passthrough".

deb and rpm were correct throughout (one postinst/%post for install + upgrade).

Also on the Deck path: web.env secret hygiene. install.sh's `chmod 600` sat
inside the create-only branch despite a comment calling it "the idempotent belt
for a pre-existing file", and update.sh never touched the config dir at all — so
an install set up once and only updated since kept web.env world-readable
(0644) with the console password and session secret in it. Both scripts now
harden ~/.config/punktfunk to 0700 and web.env to 0600 on every run, and say so
loudly, because a chmod does not un-leak an already-readable secret: the
password still needs rotating.

Both group blocks are `if ensure_group ...` rather than `ensure_group || true`:
a failed groupadd must not fall through to a usermod against a nonexistent
group, which under `set -e` aborted install.sh after the long build and
update.sh before the service restart (verified: exit 6, no restart).

Docs: the group is now documented where people actually look — the per-distro
guides, install.md, steamos-host.md, a new troubleshooting entry for "pad
arrives as an Xbox 360 controller", and the uninstall pages. The 0.25.0 notes
gain the "group does not exist" caveat and turn the password bullet from
"consider rotating" into a real instruction, and CHANGELOG records the known
issue against the breaking change that introduced it.

Verified: bash -n on all four scripts; the arch scriptlet's post_upgrade driven
in a container (creates the group, idempotent on re-run); the ensure_group
helper and both membership branches, including a control that reproduces the
original bug (chgrp to a missing group leaves the node root:root 0644); the
find -perm /0077 probe across 0644/0640/0604/0600/0400 on GNU findutils;
`nix flake check --no-build` (the exact CI gate) and a NixOS eval showing
alice.extraGroups == ["input","punktfunk"]; docs-site build + typecheck.

enricobuehler 767e67caf4 feat(packaging): grant the host CAP_SYS_NICE, without which the GPU-priority lever does nothing
Wave-2 PW1, second half. The companion commit wires `PYROWAVE_QUEUE_PRIORITY` into the Linux
PyroWave device; this is what makes it work on a packaged host.

Measured on .21 (RTX 5070 Ti, NVIDIA 610.43.02), same binary in both arms:

  as packaged (no capability)     every class refused, REALTIME *and* HIGH -> default priority
  same binary, cap_sys_nice+ep    granted REALTIME on the FIRST attempt, no downgrade

RADV behaves the same way. So this is not the RADV-specific "expect one downgrade to HIGH" the
plan predicted — without the capability there is no elevated priority at all, on any vendor, and
the knob is decoration.

Worth being precise about what is being granted, because it is a network-facing daemon.
CAP_SYS_NICE permits raising scheduling priority (nice, ioprio, affinity, RT class) and nothing
else: no filesystem access, no network privilege, no user switching, and it is NOT setuid. The
repo already ships exactly this capability on its gamescope binary for the same reason. Two side
effects that will otherwise confuse someone debugging: a capability-carrying binary is AT_SECURE,
so the loader ignores LD_LIBRARY_PATH/LD_PRELOAD for it (note this box was propped up by exactly
such a shim during the ffmpeg-9 soname break — that workaround would now be silently ignored), and
core dumps are suppressed by default.

Per packaging path, because none of them are the same:

- Arch: a `_grant_sched_capability` in the scriptlet, called from post_install AND post_upgrade —
  a replaced binary is a new inode, so the capability does not survive an upgrade by itself.
- Debian: the same setcap in the postinst `configure` branch.
- RPM: `%caps(cap_sys_nice=ep)` on the binary in `%files`, which is the rpm-native form — rpm then
  applies it on install, restores it on upgrade, and verifies it. A `%post setcap` does none of
  those.
- NixOS: `security.wrappers`, because a store path is read-only and shared and cannot be setcap'd.
  The unit's ExecStart moves to `config.security.wrapperDir` — without that the wrapper exists and
  the service still runs the uncapped store path, which is the whole failure this fixes.
- Steam Deck: setcap in the installer's sudo block. That box needs it most (one small Van Gogh GPU
  shared between the game and the encode). The binary lives under $HOME, so unlike the /etc
  drop-ins it survives a SteamOS A/B update on its own and needs no atomic-keep entry — but it
  does need re-applying after each rebuild, which re-running the installer does.
- Bazzite sysext: at IMAGE BUILD time, before mksquashfs. It cannot be done in the merge hook (a
  merged sysext's /usr is read-only squashfs) and it cannot ride in from the RPM either — rpm keeps
  capabilities in its own header and `rpm2cpio | cpio` carries only the payload, so the staged file
  arrives with none. mksquashfs does record security.capability (only security.selinux is
  excluded), so a setcap on the staging tree is what lands in the image. Needs root/CAP_SETFCAP;
  a plain-user CI build warns and ships without it rather than failing a release over a
  performance lever.

Every one of them is best-effort and cannot fail an install: a box without libcap, or a filesystem
that cannot store capabilities, simply runs at default priority exactly as it does today.

Documented in the same PR — the configuration row now says the packages grant it, and
running-as-a-service gets a section explaining what it is, how to check it (`getcap`), and how to
remove it (`setcap -r`, or just `PYROWAVE_QUEUE_PRIORITY=off`), including the two debugging side
effects.

Verified: the Arch scriptlet grants the capability from a fake package root exactly as pacman
would invoke it, and the resulting binary reaches REALTIME end to end on the RTX 5070 Ti; the RPM
spec's %caps line parses under rpmspec in a Fedora 41 container; the NixOS module parses under
nix-instantiate; all five edited shell scripts pass `bash -n`. No Rust file changed in this
commit, so the CI-parity Rust gates from the companion commit still stand.

enricobuehler 185a69c806 fix(web/plugins): a plugin's interface loads again, instead of an empty panel

nix / flake (pull_request) Failing after 12m37s
Two separate things had to be wrong for this, and both were.

The frame's own policy locked it out. Plugin UIs moved to their own origin so a
plugin cannot act as the logged-in operator, and the plugin origin names the
console as the only page allowed to frame it. It built that name from the
incoming request — but Nitro hands the app a synthetic request with no TLS
socket, so an HTTPS console reads back as `http:`. The header said
`frame-ancestors http://host:47992` while the operator was on
`https://host:47992`, and the browser refused the frame outright
(ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE). Nothing on screen said so; the reason was only in
devtools. The scheme now comes from the listener's own TLS state, stamped at
bind time, with x-forwarded-proto winning when something in front terminated
TLS for us — the one case where the browser's scheme is not ours.

And the port was shut. 47993 was added to the firewall definitions, but an
already-open firewall does not pick a new port up: ufw expands an app profile
into rules when you allow it and keeps those, so editing the profile on upgrade
changes nothing, and firewalld needs a reload. Every upgraded Linux host kept a
47992-only rule, silently. The packages now notice on upgrade and print the one
command that fixes it, without touching the running firewall. The NixOS module
and the container image never learned the port at all; both now open it.

Also: the console no longer mounts the frame while it is still checking whether
that origin is reachable. A firewalled port drops rather than refuses, so the
check hangs for the browser's whole connect timeout, and mounting meanwhile is
exactly the empty panel with no explanation. The card that follows now names
both causes it can be — an untrusted certificate for that port, or a closed one
— because from a browser the two are indistinguishable.

The rule is now a pure function with tests, since its failure mode is a
well-formed header that only a browser rejects.

Verified on glass against home-worker-5 (.21) and its ROM Manager plugin: the
frame was refused before, renders the plugin's UI after.

enricobuehler 8103958169 fix(security): the plugin lane stops being a way in
Acts on the 2026-08-05 host security review. 36 of its 38 findings; the two
exceptions are recorded below and in the review doc.

The review's headline is that `plugin_may_access` was the one authorization
gate in the system that was allow-by-default — a hand-maintained denylist of
route prefixes, where every sibling gate is deny-by-default. Its own doc
comment names the two capabilities it exists to withhold, and both were
reachable one route over, because ~1450 commits of new routes were added and
the list was never one of the things anyone remembered to update.

So the gate is now an allowlist, and a test walks the live route table and
fails the build for any route that has not been deliberately classified for
both non-admin lanes. That test is the actual fix: it is what stops the next
route from arriving pre-authorized.

Route reachability and field authority turned out to be different questions.
A provider plugin has to be able to reconcile its own library entries — that
is what a scanner plugin IS — but `prep` and a `command` launch inside that
payload are handed to `/bin/sh -c` as the host user, and every execution site
documents them as operator-typed. Requests now carry the lane that authorized
them, and those two fields are refused to everyone but the operator's own
token.

The art proxy read any absolute path off disk in the host process, which on
Windows is LocalSystem, from a path the plugin lane could write and then read
back — so it yielded `mgmt-token`, which is full admin. It now serves only
real images (extension AND magic bytes, so a renamed secret fails), only from
inside an allowed root, only after canonicalization, and never over UNC; and
a path it would refuse to serve can no longer be persisted in the first place.

On Windows, the config-dir hardening was skipped exactly when it was needed —
it ran only in the branch that CREATES host.env, so the case it was written
for (a local user pre-created the directory and planted one) was the one case
it never ran in. It is now unconditional and first, an existing host.env is
re-owned, and the inheritable OWNER RIGHTS ACE that kept an attacker's files
theirs after the directory was re-owned is gone. The identity and token
readers were hardening the directory only on the path that GENERATED a new
secret, so a planted cert/key or token was adopted verbatim and permanently;
they harden before the first read now.

`ensure_admin_only_source` is implemented. The 2026-07-05 audit recorded it as
FIXED and it was in no commit in this repository's history — the local EoP it
described was live, and it is the payload half of the config-dir chain above.

Also: the three input planes are bounded and lossy like the mic plane on the
same loop already was; Android's library client no longer accepts any
publicly-trusted certificate for the pinned host; the usbip vhci nodes get
their own group instead of riding on `input`, which every packaging scriptlet
tells users to join; a registry URL can no longer inject a TOML table into
bunfig.toml; the pairing cooldown is charged before the arming state is read,
so armed/disarmed is no longer a free oracle; and the whole Low tier, of which
the two worth naming are a clipboard MIME NUL that panicked the host on one
control message, and an unauthenticated global logout that let any LAN peer
sign the operator out on a loop.

NOT fixed, deliberately:

  H-3 (plugin UIs framed allow-same-origin). Dropping allow-same-origin does
  not work: the document's origin goes opaque, its subresource requests are
  then cross-site, the SameSite=Lax session cookie is not sent, and every
  plugin asset 302s to /login. The "open in new tab" link is the same
  escalation with no iframe at all, so the sandbox attribute is not where this
  gets fixed either. It needs a second listener — a distinct origin that is
  still the same site — which changes the console's deploy model and wants
  on-glass validation. The mechanism and the dead end are written down at the
  iframe.

  H-6 registry authentication, whose other half lives in unom/infra. The
  in-repo halves are done: workflow_dispatch inputs no longer interpolate into
  run: blocks (one of them in the step holding UPDATE_MANIFEST_KEY), and the
  syft installer is pinned to its tag instead of main. Digest pinning is left
  until the registry is authenticated, because a tag — content-keyed or not —
  can simply be overwritten while anonymous pushes are accepted.

M-5 is half done: the oracle is closed, but binding the arming window needs
the console to learn the fingerprint first, which is a knock-then-bind flow
rather than an edit.

Verified: cargo fmt --all --check clean; cargo check --all-targets green on
Linux and on Windows (confirmed non-vacuous — a planted type error in
windows/install.rs fails the build); scripts/xcheck.sh windows check green;
cargo test -p punktfunk-host --bins 416 passed, the single failure being
gamestream::stream::tests::sender_delivers_batches, the known qemu-environmental
UDP-loopback flake that fails identically on clean main in the same container;
cargo test -p pf-clipboard 13 passed; web console typechecks.

enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 06a249e49f feat(host/linux): opt-in one-click updates — the pf-update root helper, group-scoped polkit grant, per-PM legs
The U2 leg of planning:host-update-from-web-console.md. A new dep-free root helper
(crates/pf-update) runs the distro package manager against the INSTALLED punktfunk
packages — apt (index refresh scoped to our list when present), dnf, rpm-ostree
(single-transaction re-resolve, reported staged), sysext (the proven signed-feed
updater), pacman only behind the explicit PACMAN_FULL_SYSUPGRADE opt-in — then the
run-the-binary gate, then a root-written result record. Zero attacker-influenceable
parameters end to end: fixed ExecStart oneshot (punktfunk-update.service), polkit rule
scoped to that one unit's start verb for the shipped-EMPTY punktfunk-update group
(joining it is the auditable opt-in; every postinst creates it, none populate it).
The host starts the unit, interprets the record (staged / nothing-newer-yet / changed),
and crosses its own restart on the same intent/reconcile machinery as the Windows leg.
Status now reports staged results and the opt-in hint.

Local snapshot of intermingled in-flight work, committed to unblock the encode
refactor (a clean ffmpeg_win.rs for the vbv-dedup follow-on). These hunks span
the same files and can't be cleanly split here; the commit bundles three
distinct workstreams that each belong in their own PR:

  - logging rework (~43 files: level re-tiering, structured fields, `?e`,
    hot-path flood latches)
  - conflicting-host detection (detect.rs + detect/{linux,windows}.rs + wiring
    in main.rs/mgmt.rs/Cargo.toml/docs/packaging)
  - standby-sink DWM-stall attribution (windows/display_events.rs + capture/
    vdisplay wiring)

NOT verified as a combination. NOT to be pushed until the refactor is done and
these are re-verified and reorganized into their proper per-workstream PRs.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 4.8 cef2f6780c fix(packaging): correct CachyOS firewall to ufw + ship ufw openers + web-console opener
CachyOS ships ufw enabled by default (firewalld is not installed) — verified live
on the .21 box — but the docs and shipped firewall openers claimed "CachyOS enables
firewalld by default". Correct that everywhere and ship a ufw application profile
(the one-liner analogue of the firewalld service files):

- packaging/linux/punktfunk.ufw (new): [punktfunk-native], [punktfunk-gamestream],
  [punktfunk-web] profiles, installed to /etc/ufw/applications.d/punktfunk by the
  Arch (CachyOS) and .deb host packages. `sudo ufw allow punktfunk-native`.
- packaging/linux/punktfunk-web.xml (new): firewalld service for the optional web
  console (TCP 47992), installed by the host package on arch/deb/rpm. Neither the
  native nor gamestream opener covered 47992, so a firewalld/ufw host that enabled
  punktfunk-web could not reach the console over the LAN.
- Fix the "CachyOS enables firewalld" claim in arch.md, arch/README.md,
  debian/README.md, both firewalld service .xml comments, and the pacman scriptlet;
  firewalld now attributed to the spins that use it (EndeavourOS, Fedora/RHEL).
- Docs present both one-liners (ufw + firewalld) whichever firewall you run, plus a
  console-opener step; postinst/scriptlet hints detect ufw as well as firewalld.

The native data plane stays hole-punched (ephemeral UDP, no fixed port) — its
openers correctly open only 9777/udp + mDNS; the stale "open a UDP range" note is
replaced with the accurate outbound-UDP explanation.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 4.8 8a06c7545b docs(arch): fish-safe repo setup, firewalld services, fix client label
The pacman-repo setup step used a bash heredoc (`<<'EOF'`), which fish — the
default shell on CachyOS — cannot parse ("expected a string, but found a
redirection"). Replace it with a cross-shell `printf | sudo tee -a` form in both
the Arch guide and packaging/arch/README.md; `$repo`/`$arch` stay literal for
pacman and the output is byte-identical to the old heredoc.

Firewall: stock Arch ships none (ports already open), but CachyOS enables
firewalld by default and an Arch package must never touch the running firewall.
Ship firewalld service definitions the host package installs to
/usr/lib/firewalld/services/ (punktfunk-gamestream, punktfunk-native), not
auto-enabled; the install scriptlet prints the enable command only when
firewall-cmd is present. Document it in the Arch guide (new section) and README.
The mgmt API (loopback) and web console ports are deliberately not opened.

Also fix the "GTK4 couch/Deck client" mislabel — it's the native
GTK4/libadwaita Linux client (desktop/laptop/Deck are targets; the
controller-optimized launcher is one view, not its identity) — across the Arch
PKGBUILD/README, Arch guide, and the Debian README.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 4.8 8a134b6157 feat(packaging/arch): Arch + SteamOS install target (PKGBUILD + sysext)
Add packaging/arch: a PKGBUILD mirroring the rpm/deb artifact set (binary, udev
rule, 32MB sysctl, systemd USER units with ExecStart rewritten, headless helpers,
env templates, openapi), a pacman .install scriptlet, a systemd-sysext builder for
immutable SteamOS, and a README. Builds the working tree via PF_SRCDIR (CI/dev) or
a git tag (AUR). Arch's stock ffmpeg already ships NVENC, so deps collapse to ~10
packages with nvidia-utils/compositors as optdepends (never hard-depend on the
driver, same invariant as rpm/deb).

SteamOS delivery is a **systemd-sysext** (overlays /usr read-only from writable
/var/lib/extensions/, survives A/B OS updates, no steamos-readonly disable) —
pacman/distrobox/flatpak are all unsuitable for a host that needs uinput/uhid, the
host PipeWire socket, the GPU node, and to spawn a compositor.

KNOWN GAP, documented prominently: encode is NVENC-only (src/encode/linux.rs has no
VAAPI backend), so this works on Arch+NVIDIA (and bazzite-deck-nvidia) but an AMD
Steam Deck installs yet cannot encode until a hevc_vaapi backend is written — a code
change, not packaging.
