pyrowave's encoder fills the BitstreamSequenceHeader with `= {}` and its C API
offers no way to set colour/range, so it signals ycbcr_range=0=FULL — but both
host CSCs (rgb2yuv.comp on Linux, BgraToYuvPlanes on Windows) always emit BT.709
LIMITED Y'CbCr (black = Y'16). A client that honours the VUI (the Apple wavelet
decoder reads bit 30 of word1) then skips the limited→full expansion and shows
washed-out, raised blacks — reported on both Linux and Windows hosts.
Patch the range bit HONEST (mark_limited_range in the shared pyrowave_wire, called
by both encoders after packetize). Clients that hardcode limited (the Vulkan
video_pyrowave path) are unaffected, and pyrowave's own decode ignores the flag
(raw Y'CbCr reconstruction). No client rebuild needed. Unit-tested + asserted in
pyrowave_win_smoke; the smoke decode still round-trips 100/180/60.

Wire PyroWave into the Windows host (design/pyrowave-windows-host-zerocopy.md).
Before this a macOS client + Windows host that both selected PyroWave silently ran
HEVC: the host never advertised CODEC_PYROWAVE and open_video_backend bailed.
Approach (zero-copy, no GPU→CPU→GPU): pyrowave owns its own Vulkan device
(create_device_by_compat, by render-GPU vendor/device-id — NOT LUID, invalid in
Session 0). The capturer runs a BGRA→YUV BT.709-limited CSC (matching rgb2yuv.comp)
into TWO SEPARATE shareable plane textures — full-res R8 Y + half-res R8G8 CbCr —
which the encoder imports into pyrowave's device. Separate single/two-component
textures import reliably on NVIDIA at any size; a single planar NV12 import does NOT
(the vendored interop test: "only very specific resource sizes" — confirmed on-glass:
1024² fine, 720p/1080p/1440p garbage). A shared D3D11 fence, signalled after the CSC,
is imported as a Vulkan timeline semaphore so the wavelet read is ordered after it.
- pf-encode: enc/windows/pyrowave.rs (Encoder impl, two-plane import + Linux-style
plane views); host_wire_caps advertises CODEC_PYROWAVE on Windows when the backend
isn't Software; open_video_backend routes a negotiated PyroWave session first;
pyrowave-sys on the Windows target; interop confirmed at open → clean HEVC fallback.
- pf-encode: shared, unit-tested enc/pyrowave_wire.rs (single source of truth for the
client-facing AU framing); Linux encoder uses it too.
- pf-capture: dxgi.rs BgraToYuvPlanes CSC; idd_push.rs pyrowave mode — forces the
virtual display SDR (the VideoProcessor can't ingest the FP16 HDR ring), a
two-plane shareable out-ring, a shared fence passed every frame (so a rebuilt
encoder re-imports it). Threaded via OutputFormat::pyrowave.
- pf-frame: D3d11Frame::pyro carries the CbCr plane + fence; OutputFormat::pyrowave.
Verified on .173 (RTX 4090): full-host build + clippy -D warnings (nvenc,amf-qsv) +
fmt --all --check; pyrowave_wire unit tests; pyrowave_win_smoke GPU test round-trips
distinct Y/Cb/Cr (100/180/60) exactly at 1024²/720p/1080p/1440p; Stage-0 interop
validated in the real Session-0 service context on-glass. Deployed to the box.
Owed: final on-glass picture/latency confirmation.

design/latency-reduction-2026-07.md tier 2, the two code-side halves:
- T2.2: the Linux direct-NVENC backend gains the two-thread retrieve
(PUNKTFUNK_NVENC_ASYNC, the same opt-in knob as Windows): the session stays
sync-mode (async events are Windows-only) but the blocking lock_bitstream
moves to a dedicated pf-nvenc-out thread — the NVENC guide's sanctioned
submit-thread/output-thread split. poll() drains completions non-blocking,
submit() backpressures at PUNKTFUNK_NVENC_ASYNC_DEPTH (default 4) in-flight;
map/unmap and every other session call stay on the encode thread; teardown
joins the thread before destroying the session. Under a GPU-saturating game
completed frames queue instead of serializing capture on the encode wait.
- T2.3: PUNKTFUNK_GPU_PRIORITY_CLASS gains 'auto' AND IT IS THE NEW DEFAULT
(gpu-contention §5.C): HIGH immediately, then REALTIME where the documented
NVIDIA+HAGS+near-full-VRAM NVENC hang cannot bite — HAGS probed once via
D3DKMT WDDM_2_7_CAPS (off => REALTIME outright); HAGS on => a pf-gpu-prio
monitor flips REALTIME<->HIGH on LOCAL-segment VRAM headroom (downgrade
>92% of budget, restore <=85% for 3x2s polls). 'high' restores the old
static default; 'realtime' pins it (operator owns the hazard).
Validated: .21 clippy -D warnings (punktfunk-host --features nvenc) against
the QSV-merged main; .133 Windows cargo check of pf-frame + punktfunk-host.

The eight W6 leaf crates hardcoded 0.12.0 instead of inheriting the
workspace version — switched to version.workspace = true so the next bump
is one line again.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
encode.rs + encode/* (NVENC, VAAPI, native AMF, AMF/QSV ffmpeg, direct-SDK
NVENC/CUDA, raw Vulkan-Video, PyroWave, openh264) move into crates/pf-encode
behind one Encoder trait + open_video selector (plan §W6). The crate speaks the
shared frame vocabulary (pf-frame: CapturedFrame/PixelFormat + the DXGI identity
D3d11Frame/make_device) and pf-zerocopy (CUDA context/buffers), and NEVER
pf-capture — the capture→encode edge is one-way (ZeroCopyPolicy, prior commit).
Dep moves: the heavy encoder deps (ffmpeg-next, the NVENC SDK, openh264,
pyrowave-sys) move from the host to pf-encode; the host's
nvenc/amf-qsv/vulkan-encode/pyrowave features now FORWARD to pf-encode/*. The
host keeps a mod-encode shim (pub use pf_encode) so every crate::encode::* path
(negotiator + GameStream/native/mgmt planes) is unchanged.
resolve_render_adapter_luid moves from the host's windows/win_adapter.rs into
pf-gpu (both pf-encode and pf-capture need it as a peer of GPU selection); its 5
call sites (encode amf/nvenc, capture idd_push/synthetic_nv12, vdisplay manager)
rewire to pf_gpu::resolve_render_adapter_luid and win_adapter.rs is deleted.
pf-frame's make_device gains a # Safety section (public-unsafe-fn lint, latent
since the pf-frame carve — a full-workspace -D warnings clippy catches it).
Verified: Linux clippy -D warnings (pf-encode + host nvenc,vulkan-encode,pyrowave
--all-targets) + 13/13 pf-encode + 299/299 host tests; Windows clippy -D warnings
(pf-encode nvenc,amf-qsv --all-targets + host nvenc,amf-qsv --all-targets)
Finished exit 0.
