A self-authored UMDF2 HID minidriver (packaging/windows/dualsense-driver) that
presents a virtual Sony DualSense (VID 054C/PID 0CE6) on Windows — adaptive
triggers / lightbar / rumble that ViGEm structurally cannot deliver.
Validated live on an RTX box (Win11 25H2, Secure Boot ON): the self-signed driver
loads, Steam recognizes it as a genuine DualSense, and a game's 0x02 output report
reaches the driver. The host<->driver channel is a named shared-memory section
(Global\pfds-shm-<idx>) the host creates and the driver maps from its timer: input
report 0x01 host->driver, output report 0x02 driver->host — input and output proven
both directions live. This bypasses hidclass, which gates both a custom device
interface and custom IOCTLs on the HID node, and UMDF has no control device.
Built in Rust on microsoft/windows-drivers-rs. The load wall was the PE
FORCE_INTEGRITY bit that wdk-build sets via /INTEGRITYCHECK (forces a CI-trusted
page-hash signature a self-signed cert cannot satisfy) — cleared post-build. See
packaging/windows/dualsense-driver/README.md for the build/sign/install recipe.
Deferred: SwDeviceCreate per-session device lifecycle; removing the inert in-driver
IOCTL-channel code; full on-glass session test.

A push to main publishes canary builds to canary channels (fast iteration,
unchanged); a single vX.Y.Z tag releases every platform at one version to the
stable channels and attaches all artifacts (.deb/.rpm/.msix/.apk/.aab/.dmg +
flatpak/decky/host-installer) to one Gitea Release. Collapses the
host-v*/win-v*/host-win-v* tag namespaces into v* — the channel split makes the
version-shadow bug structurally impossible (canary and stable are separate repos,
never a shared version line).
- scripts/ci/gitea-release.{sh,ps1}: one idempotent release helper
(create-or-fetch + delete-before-upload), replacing 3 copy-pasted inline blocks
and fixing their latent 409-on-reupload bug; prerelease flag auto-derived from
the tag (an -rc tag won't shadow "Latest")
- channels: apt canary/stable distributions; rpm *-canary/base groups; flatpak
canary/stable OSTree branches + a 2nd .Canary.flatpakref; generic-registry
canary/ vs latest/ aliases; Play internal/alpha; Apple TestFlight vs notarized DMG
- android versionName threaded through gradle (versionCode stays run_number);
Apple canary = TestFlight-only (no DMG/tvOS); canary base bumped to 0.3.0
- docs: new docs-site channels.md (subscribe table + cut-a-release runbook +
box migration), refreshed ci.md workflow table + packaging READMEs

The host is NVIDIA/NVENC + SudoVDA coupled; Windows ARM64 has neither an NVIDIA
driver nor an ARM64 SudoVDA, so an ARM64 host would install but couldn't encode
or make a virtual display. Document the deliberate x64-only scope so it doesn't
get re-litigated. ARM64 stays client-only.

Root cause of the persistent ISCC "path not found": ISCC.exe is 32-bit, and the
self-hosted runner runs as SYSTEM, so the checkout lives under
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\.cache\... . WOW64 file-system
redirection rewrites a 32-bit process's System32 reads to SysWOW64 (where nothing
exists), so ISCC died opening the .iss before it even printed its version line.
(The smoke-test diagnostic compiled fine precisely because it lived at C:\t\out.)
Fix: copy every file ISCC reads (the .iss + host.env.example + README.md) into
the non-redirected build dir C:\t\out and compile from there; BinDir, StageDir,
and OutputDir already live under C:\t. Removed the now-spent smoke diagnostic.

The smoke-test diagnostic proved Inno itself is healthy (a trivial ASCII script
compiled), while the real .iss died before the "Compiler engine version" line —
i.e. at script open, not during compile. The difference: the real .iss was UTF-8
with non-ASCII chars (→, —) in comments, which ISCC 6.4+ rejects without a UTF-8
BOM (and the German-locale runner misreads). Replace them with ASCII (->, -).

All [Files] sources are validated-present yet ISCC still errors before any
"Compiling" output (no line number) — so it's startup/[Setup]-internal, not a
source path. Add an explicit [Languages] (compiler:Default.isl) to rule out the
auto-added default language, and on ISCC failure dump the Inno install dir +
run a trivial [Setup]-only smoke script to tell "Inno broken" from "my script".

The {#SourcePath} relative-traversal for host.env.example/README kept tripping
ISCC ("path not found", error 2) regardless of the separator, so drop it: compute
the two paths absolutely in pack-host-installer.ps1, Test-Path them (clear PS error
if missing), and pass /DHostEnv + /DReadme. The .iss [Files] now reference the
absolute defines — no {#SourcePath}, no ..\.. traversal. Also prints "source ok"
for each so a future failure is unambiguous.

ISPP's {#SourcePath} has no trailing backslash, so {#SourcePath}..\..\scripts
resolved to ...\packaging\windows..\..\scripts (invalid component "windows..")
-> ISCC error 2 "path not found". Add the explicit separator (a double backslash
is harmless on Windows if a future ISPP ever adds the trailing one).

The first CI run failed only on the SudoVDA download: SudoMaker/SudoVDA has no
releases (source-only repo; Apollo embeds the driver in its installer), so there
was nothing to fetch. Vendor the prebuilt SIGNED driver in-repo instead.
- packaging/windows/sudovda/: SudoVDA.inf/.cat/.dll + sudovda.cer (derived from
the .cat signer CN=sudovda@su.mk), pulled from the dev-box driver store.
v1.10.9.289, Class=Display, HWID Root\SudoMaker\SudoVDA, MIT/CC0.
- fetch-sudovda.ps1 -> stage-sudovda.ps1: stage the vendored driver + fetch
nefcon from its real pinned release (v1.17.40, sha256 812bae7e…, x64/nefconc.exe).
- pack-host-installer.ps1: call stage-sudovda.ps1; README updated with the
driver-refresh recipe.
The rest of the pipeline already passed on the first run (host built --features
nvenc via the llvm-dlltool import lib; ISCC + signtool found; signed with the
real CN=unom cert).

MSIX (the client's format) can't install the host's LocalSystem secure-desktop
service or the SudoVDA kernel driver, so the host ships as a signed Inno Setup
setup.exe that runs elevated and delegates to the existing idempotent
`punktfunk-host service install`.
- packaging/windows/punktfunk-host.iss: lay exe into Program Files, optional
SudoVDA driver task, run service install/start; [Code] stops+waits the service
before file copy on upgrade; uninstall runs service uninstall.
- pack-host-installer.ps1: cert (reuses MSIX_CERT_PFX_B64 / self-signed CN=unom),
sign inner exe + setup.exe, fetch/stage SudoVDA, run ISCC, export public .cer.
- fetch-sudovda.ps1 / install-sudovda.ps1: pinned SudoVDA + nefcon download, cert
import, gated device-node create (no phantom dup), pnputil install (warn-not-abort).
- nvenc/: synthesize nvencodeapi.lib via llvm-dlltool from a 2-export .def so
--features nvenc links with no GPU/SDK at build time.
- .gitea/workflows/windows-host.yml: build (nvenc) -> clippy -> ISCC -> sign ->
publish setup.exe + .cer to the generic registry pkg punktfunk-host-windows.
Tag host-win-v* -> X.Y.Z (+ latest/ alias); main push -> rolling 0.2.<run>.
- setup-windows-runner.ps1: provision Inno Setup; docs: installer instructions.
SudoVDA/nefcon release URLs+SHA-256s in fetch-sudovda.ps1 are placeholders
(baseline v0.2.1) — fetch warns + prints the computed hash until pinned.
