Triaged the multi-agent review of the renegotiation + pairing + Sway + AV1/surround batch
(1 critical, 11 major/minor confirmed). Fixes:
CRITICAL — PIN pairing was offline-brute-forceable. The HMAC-of-PIN proof let an active
MITM who terminates the TOFU ceremony recover the 4-digit PIN by offline dictionary search
(all other inputs observable) and forge a correctly-bound proof. Replaced with **SPAKE2**
(balanced PAKE, `spake2` crate) + key-confirmation MACs, binding both cert fingerprints as
the SPAKE2 identities: an attacker gets exactly ONE online guess, no offline search, and
mismatched cert views (a real MITM) never reach a shared key. Also reworked the UX to an
"arming PIN" — one PIN per arming window shown at host startup (the SPAKE2 client needs the
PIN to build its first message, so it can't be minted per-connection). Validated live:
wrong PIN rejected in 0.1s, right PIN pairs + persists + the paired identity streams.
Pairing hardening: `--allow-pairing`/`--require-pairing` must arm pairing (default rejects
unsolicited ceremonies); per-host cooldown bounds online guessing; the client flushes its
CONNECTION_CLOSE so a refused ceremony can't wedge the sequential host for the full timeout;
atomic (temp+rename) paired-store writes.
Protocol: control/pairing messages use a distinct CTL_MAGIC (PKFc) — fully disjoint from
the positional Hello namespace (a future abi_version can't be misparsed as a control
message); all typed decodes are length-exact. ABI_VERSION → 2 (punktfunk_connect signature
gained the identity params; header regenerated).
Renegotiation: drain the reconfig channel to the NEWEST mode (one rebuild, not one per
stale step); validate refresh_hz; build the new pipeline BEFORE dropping the old so a
rebuild failure keeps the session on its current mode instead of killing it.
GameStream: packetDuration snaps to {5,10} (an in-between value isn't a legal Opus frame
size and would kill audio). Sway: chooser file moved to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (was a fixed
world-writable /tmp path — DoS / capture-misdirection by another local user).
Swift: fixed two compile breakers in the new pairing/identity APIs (Int32 status .rawValue,
UInt cap cast). New SPAKE2 + namespace-disjointness + pairing-roundtrip unit tests; the
in-process pairing test now also exercises the arming PIN + cooldown. 114 tests green,
clippy -D warnings clean (both feature sets), fmt, C-ABI harness.

Renegotiation (no reconnect on resize): the handshake bi-stream stays open; the client
sends Reconfigure{mode} (typed post-handshake message), the host validates + acks
Reconfigured and rebuilds capture/encoder/virtual output at the new mode while the data
plane (keys, ports, FEC) runs untouched — the first new-mode AU is an IDR with in-band
parameter sets. NativeClient::request_mode / punktfunk_connection_request_mode; mode()
reflects the active mode. Validated live on KWin: one continuous stream, 225 frames
@1280x720 then 395 @1920x1080, ~90 ms pipeline rebuild (ffprobe shows both resolutions).
PIN pairing (mutual trust, kills TOFU MITM): clients get persistent self-signed
identities presented via QUIC client auth (generate_identity / client auth offered but
optional server-side — legacy clients still connect). Ceremony on the control stream:
PairRequest{name} → host shows a 4-digit PIN (log) + PairChallenge{salt} → client proves
with HMAC-SHA256(PIN‖salt, client_fp‖host_fp) — binding both certs means a MITM can't
forward a proof, single attempt per PIN, constant-time compare → PairResult; host
persists the fingerprint (~/.config/punktfunk/punktfunk1-paired.json), client pins the
host's. m3-host --require-pairing gates sessions on the paired set.
NativeClient::pair + punktfunk_pair/punktfunk_generate_identity in the ABI; reference
client: --pair PIN --name LABEL + auto-generated persistent identity, --remode for live
renegotiation testing. Swift wrapper: ClientIdentity/generateIdentity()/pair(),
requestMode()/currentMode(); README handoff updated.
Tested: reconfigure/pairing wire roundtrips, C-ABI mode switch ack, full in-process
ceremony (wrong PIN → Crypto, anonymous-vs-gate rejection, success → pinned session);
live wrong-PIN ceremony against the serving host (PIN logged, proof rejected).

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