The clients' codec pickers sent a preference the host threw away:
host_wire_caps() hardcoded HEVC for every GPU backend, so the native
path never emitted H.264/AV1 regardless of what the user chose.
Host: advertise what the backend actually encodes, mirroring the
GameStream serverinfo logic — software openh264 emits H.264; probed
backends (Linux VAAPI, Windows AMF/QSV) advertise their per-GPU
CodecSupport via the new wire_mask(); NVENC keeps the
Moonlight-validated H.264|HEVC|AV1 static superset; an empty probe
falls back to the superset so auto clients still resolve HEVC. Gate
10-bit to HEVC (like the 4:4:4 gate) now that a client can steer the
codec — Main10 is the only 10-bit encode path. Fix the web-console
stats label hardcoded to "hevc" (new Codec::label(), shared with the
GameStream register_session mapping).
Android: replace the hardcoded H264|HEVC Hello advertisement with a
videoCodecs param fed by VideoDecoders.decodableCodecBits() (AV1 bit
only when a real hardware video/av01 decoder exists — the decode loop
was already mime-driven); offer AV1 in the codec picker on capable
devices.
Decky: add the missing "Video codec" dropdown (auto/hevc/h264/av1) to
the plugin settings, round-tripping the same codec key the flatpak
client reads.
Apple: unchanged by design (AnnexB.swift is NAL-only, AV1 is never
advertised); refresh the stale "hosts don't emit AV1 on the native
path yet" comments here and host-side.

Each client learns a host's MAC from the mDNS `mac` TXT while it's awake, persists it on the saved-host record, and — when reconnecting to an offline host — sends a magic packet before connecting, plus an explicit "Wake host" action. Apple wraps the C-ABI; linux/windows call the core fn directly (linux also gains a --wake CLI mode); android via a new nativeWakeOnLan JNI export (the mDNS browse record gains a 7th mac field); decky shells out to the linux client's --wake before launching the stream.
iOS/tvOS need the managed com.apple.developer.networking.multicast entitlement (pending Apple approval), so the wake path + UI are gated off via PunktfunkConnection.wakeOnLANAvailable and the entitlement is commented out — keeping iOS/tvOS releasable. MAC-learning stays active on every platform so it lights up the moment it's ungated. macOS works today.

Decky client batch:
- Pinned games / library picker: per-host game grid (GamePickerModal),
pin/unpin, one-tap streams surfaced on the Hosts tab and QAM
(usePins/streamPin/resolvePinHost, new src/library.tsx).
- Self-update + client-update plumbing (main.py check_update, hooks.ts
applyUpdate) with a CA-bundle-resolving SSL context and per-channel
manifest polling; steam.ts / punktfunkrun.sh launch tweaks.
- scripts/test-backend.py harness for the backend RPCs; README refresh.
Fix: the fullscreen page wrapped <Tabs> in an overflow-visible box, so
Valve's L1/R1 tab slide + autoFocusContents scrollIntoView panned
#GamepadUI itself — the whole Steam UI slid left until a tab was clicked.
Clip the Tabs wrapper (overflow:hidden), matching Valve's own Tabs
containers. (On-glass verification pending — Deck offline this session.)

- The "Punktfunk" shortcut is no longer hidden: it now ships committed
artwork (grid/wide/hero/logo/icon, generated by scripts/gen-steam-art.py
— a pure-stdlib SDF renderer drawing the lens mark + a monoline
"punktfunk" wordmark) applied via SetCustomArtworkForApp /
SetShortcutIcon. Existing installs are unhidden and re-arted once per
ART_VERSION; relaunching the library entry streams to the last host.
- Updates cover the flatpak CLIENT too: check_update compares the
user-scope installed commit against its remote, applyUpdate runs
`flatpak update --user` first (awaited) and the plugin reinstall —
which reloads the panel — last; docs spell out the sudo-less --user
update ("sudo flatpak update" silently skips per-user installs).
- Fullscreen page: DialogButton stretches to 100% width in the gamepad
UI, so the Stream/Pair/Refresh/… actions filled whole rows — sized to
content + right-aligned now; the header drops its Update button (About
tab + QAM banner keep the flow) and the back button gets a real 40px
hit target.
- Settings: the disable-Steam-Input note also shows for Automatic — on a
Deck that now forwards the built-in controller as a Steam Deck pad
(paddles/trackpads/gyro), which needs Steam Input off for the shortcut.

Fixes from live debugging on the Deck:
- check_update() was dead on-device: Decky Loader's embedded (PyInstaller)
Python has no usable default CA paths, so every HTTPS fetch failed with
CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED. Build the SSL context explicitly: default paths
first, then the known system bundles (SteamOS/Arch, Debian, Fedora/Bazzite,
openSUSE), then certifi if importable. Verification stays on; the check
stays offline-tolerant with its 30-min cache.
- "could not chmod runner" on every use: Decky extracts plugin zips without
exec bits into a root-owned dir the unprivileged backend can't chmod. The
Steam shortcut now launches the runner through /bin/sh with the script as a
%command% argument — no exec bit needed, existing shortcuts migrate on
reuse, the chmod attempt is gone.
UI/structure:
- index.tsx (660 lines) split into page/pair/settings/hooks/boundary modules;
PluginErrorBoundary kept guarding every surface.
- New About section/tab: visible version + channel, explicit check-for-updates
(forces past the cache, always toasts an outcome), setup-guide link, leave-
chord help, and a Force-stop backstop for a wedged stream.
- Host rows open a details modal (address, protocol, pairing policy, paired
state, fingerprint). Settings gain 1280×800 (Deck native), Xbox One and
DualShock 4 pad types, and a host-compositor picker.
- Update flows note the Decky store contact can stall a couple of minutes on
networks that blackhole plugins.deckbrew.xyz (observed live).
- "Punktfunk" in all user-facing strings; plugin id/paths/env unchanged.

Plugin self-update (no Decky store): CI publishes a per-channel manifest.json
({version, immutable per-version artifact, sha256}) beside the zip and bakes
update.json {channel, manifest} into the plugin. main.py `check_update` reads the
installed version from package.json (the value Decky reports — not plugin.json),
fetches the channel manifest, and the frontend shows an "Update to vX" button that
drives Decky Loader's own install RPC (root downloads + SHA-256-verifies + hot-reloads).
CI now stamps a plain-numeric semver (0.3.<run> canary / X.Y.Z stable) into
package.json — a -ciN suffix would mis-order under compare-versions.
Linux client: `--fullscreen` (plus SteamDeck/gamescope env fallback) enters GTK
fullscreen on stream start so Gaming-Mode chrome is hidden; native-mode resolution
falls back to the display's first monitor when the window isn't mapped yet (was
dropping to the 1080p floor — wrong on the Deck's 1280×800); add a confirmed
"Remove saved host" action (KnownHosts::remove_by_fp).
Docs: new docs/steam-deck.md (Decky install/pair/stream/self-update/troubleshooting),
wired into meta.json nav, and cross-linked from clients/install-client/channels. This
is the page docs.punktfunk.unom.io/docs/steam-deck — the website's download link
pointed at it before it existed; committing it makes that link resolve.

The plugin was a QAM launcher whose stream never appeared, with no
pairing. Three fixes, plus a headless --pair mode on the GTK client:
- Stream actually starts (MoonDeck's proven mechanism): gamescope only
focuses the process tree Steam launched via reaper, so a flatpak
spawned from the (root) backend is invisible. The frontend now
registers ONE hidden non-Steam shortcut pointing at bin/punktfunkrun.sh,
passes the host as the shortcut's Steam launch options, and starts it
with SteamClient.Apps.RunGame — gamescope then fullscreen-focuses it.
The wrapper execs `flatpak run io.unom.Punktfunk --connect <host>`.
- Fullscreen page: routerHook.addRoute("/punktfunk") — host list,
per-host Pair/Stream, and a settings section (resolution/refresh/
bitrate/gamepad/mic, written to client-gtk-settings.json).
- Pairing: a gamepad-navigable PIN keypad. The host shows the PIN; the
backend runs the SPAKE2 ceremony headlessly via the client's new
`--pair <PIN> --connect host` CLI mode (app.rs), persisting the host
as paired so the stream then connects silently. Same flatpak =>
shared identity store, verified live (ceremony against a real host).
- Backend (main.py): discover / pair / runner_info / get_settings /
set_settings / kill_stream; uses DECKY_USER_HOME so paths resolve to
the deck user's flatpak install regardless of the plugin's root flag.
CI (decky.yml) and the sideload packager now ship bin/punktfunkrun.sh.
The Steam-shortcut launch and headless-pairing env follow MoonDeck
exactly but need a Deck in Gaming Mode to fully confirm.
