A KDE host on Nobara stopped disabling its physical screens and creating the
virtual output the moment it updated: streaming still came up, but bring-up took
~26 s and the streamed output never became the desktop (`also_disabled=[]`).
Root cause is not our topology logic — it's that every `kscreen-doctor` call on
the reporter's session wedges. kscreen-doctor drives libkscreen, which (per
setup) waits on the kscreen KDED module over D-Bus; when that layer is stuck it
blocks in its own connect and never returns, so all five topology queries hit
their 5 s budget and got killed (host log). Reproduced live on a Nobara / KWin
6.6.4 box: `kscreen-doctor -j` there times out at 8 s, every time.
But the compositor's OWN Wayland is fully responsive on that same session — the
host just created a virtual output over it via zkde_screencast. So drive the
topology (resolve our output, take primary, disable the physical/bootstrap
outputs, capture their modes, re-enable on teardown, position) directly over
`kde_output_management_v2` + `kde_output_device_v2` instead of shelling out.
On that same Nobara box the in-process path binds management (v19) and
enumerates the outputs in 2.4 ms — ~3400x faster than the 8 s hang, and immune
to whatever wedges the standalone tool.
- vendor kde-output-management-v2 / kde-output-device-v2 (KWin advertises mgmt
v19, device v20); generate client bindings inline (the interdependent-protocol
module split from the wayland-protocols crate; needs the `bitflags` dep for the
device protocol's bitfield enums).
- new `kwin_output_mgmt`: bounded enumerate-then-apply over one Wayland
connection; every wait is time-bounded so a genuinely wedged compositor
degrades to `handled = false` and the old kscreen-doctor path still runs.
- `kwin::create` topology + `apply_position` prefer the in-process path (address
our output by its stable device UUID, supersede-robust) with kscreen-doctor as
the fallback. The 60 Hz path now makes ZERO kscreen-doctor calls; only the
>60 Hz custom-mode install still shells out (its in-process port is a follow-up).
Verified on Linux: cargo test -p pf-vdisplay (73 pass), clippy --all-targets
-D warnings clean, fmt clean, punktfunk-host checks clean. In-process enumeration
proven live against KWin 6.6.4 (the reporter's env); the disable/apply path is
not yet on-glass.

vdisplay.rs + vdisplay/* (the per-compositor Linux backends — KWin zkde-screencast,
wlroots swaymsg, Mutter RemoteDesktop, Hyprland — and the Windows IddCx/pf-vdisplay
driver backend, behind one VirtualDisplay trait; the mode-conflict admission
registry, the display policy/identity/custom-preset state, and the session-env /
gamescope routing) move into crates/pf-vdisplay (plan §W6). The DDC/CI panel-power
control (used only here) and the KWin zkde protocol XML move with it. This
completes the host-crate decomposition: capture, encode, inject, and vdisplay are
now four subsystem crates over the shared leaves, and punktfunk-host is the
orchestrator (serve/supervisor + native + gamestream + mgmt).
Coupling breaks (all down-only, cargo-tree acyclic):
- capture::dxgi identity -> pf_frame::dxgi; win_display/monitor_devnode/
console_session_mismatch -> pf-win-display leaf; can_open_another_session ->
pf-encode (the NVENC session-budget admission gate — acyclic peer edge).
- The registry's DisplayCreated/DisplayReleased emits into the host SSE event bus
invert to a leaf hook: pf-vdisplay emits a neutral DisplayEvent to a
host-registered DISPLAY_EVENT_SINK, so it never reaches the orchestrator's
events module.
- The IddCx driver module is renamed pf_vdisplay -> driver (its old name collided
with the crate name through the host's `mod vdisplay` shim glob).
The host keeps `mod vdisplay { pub use pf_vdisplay::* }` so every crate::vdisplay::*
path (serve/mgmt/native/the capture FrameChannelSender seam) is unchanged; the
heavy deps (wayland/ashpd/tokio + the zkde protocol) moved with the crate.
Co-authored: a fail-closed IOCTL-reply-length security fix (reject short/zeroed
pf-vdisplay driver replies before trusting protocol_version/target_id/wudf_pid/luid,
security-review 2026-07-17) rides this commit in the moved driver module.
Verified: Linux clippy -D warnings (pf-vdisplay + host nvenc,vulkan-encode,pyrowave
--all-targets) + pf-vdisplay 63/63 + host 167/167 tests; Windows clippy -D warnings
(pf-vdisplay --all-targets + host nvenc,amf-qsv --all-targets) Finished exit 0.
