enricobuehler	e5166c6e6e	fix(host/steam): load vhci_hcd at boot on sysext hosts so the Deck pad is Steam-Input-promotable ... The virtual Steam Deck pad only appears in the host's Game Mode (and is navigable) when it arrives as a real USB device via the usbip/vhci_hcd transport — Steam Input won't promote the UHID hid-steam fallback (Interface: -1). The host runs as an unprivileged --user service, so it cannot modprobe vhci_hcd itself; the module must be loaded at boot and the vhci attach/detach sysfs files chgrp'd to the `input` group by the udev rule. Packaging ships modules-load.d/punktfunk.conf + 60-punktfunk.rules under the sysext's /usr/lib, but a systemd-sysext image MERGES after systemd-modules-load and early udev have already run, so on a plain reboot of a sysext host (e.g. Bazzite) those files are read too late: vhci_hcd is never loaded, usbip fails, and the pad silently degrades to non-promoted UHID — the controller vanishes from Game Mode. (deb/arch/rpm are unaffected: real /usr is present at early boot.) Fix: sysext post_merge now mirrors BOTH files into real /etc (read at the normal early-boot time, shadowing the /usr copies by filename; refreshed every merge since neither is user config), then reloads udev, modprobes vhci-hcd, and re-triggers the vhci platform device for the live session. Also raise the UHID-fallback log INFO->WARN with an actionable hint. Verified on the .41 sysext host: after the /etc mirror, unloading vhci_hcd and restarting systemd-modules-load (the real reader of /etc/modules-load.d) reloads the module; a udev coldplug trigger makes attach/detach root:input 0660; the unprivileged host user can then write attach — the exact working precondition for the usbip transport, now durable across reboot.

enricobuehler	b8fd652cb8	fix(packaging): autoload vhci-hcd and open its attach files for the usbip Deck pad ... Steam Input only adopts the virtual Steam Deck controller when it arrives as a real USB device (raw_gadget or usbip/vhci transports); the UHID fallback has no USB interface and Steam ignores it. On a stock host neither precondition for usbip held: vhci-hcd isn't loaded, and its sysfs attach/detach files are root-only while the host runs as a user service — so every session silently fell back to UHID and 'no controller appears on the host' (live-debugged 2026-07-08: client events all arrived, the pad existed, Steam just refused it). Ship both preconditions with the host packages: * modules-load.d/punktfunk.conf loads vhci-hcd at boot (rpm/deb/arch; Bazzite gets it via the RPM payload + a modprobe in the sysext post-merge hook) * a udev rule in 60-punktfunk.rules grants the input group write on vhci_hcd's attach/detach whenever the device appears Verified end-to-end on a live host: usbip in-process attach, hid-steam binds all three interfaces, 'Steam Deck' + motion evdev appear, and Steam adopts the pad (client-mode grab + its own virtual X360 emission).

enricobuehler	f299aaeb3d	feat(packaging/bazzite): systemd-sysext replaces rpm-ostree layering as the primary install path ... Layering is a last resort per the Bazzite docs (slows every OS update, can block upgrades until removed); a sysext never enters an rpm-ostree transaction, survives OS updates, and installs/updates with no reboot — the mechanism Fedora Atomic ships via fedora-sysexts. - build-sysext.sh wraps the built host+web RPMs into punktfunk-<V-R>-x86-64.raw: /etc payload relocated to /usr/share/punktfunk/etc (a sysext carries only /usr), the punktfunk-sysext helper embedded, ID=fedora + VERSION_ID pinned (merges on Bazzite via ID_LIKE; REFUSED after a major rebase instead of running soname-broken binaries — both behaviors validated live on Bazzite 43). SELinux labels are baked in as squashfs pseudo-xattrs from matchpathcon: unlabeled files run fine for user units but system daemons are DENIED (udev couldn't read the gamepad rule under enforcing) — validated on-glass. Refuses duplicate input package names (a stale noarch punktfunk-web next to the x86_64 one built a chimera image with the dead node launcher once). - punktfunk-sysext.sh: install/update/status/remove against per-Fedora-major feeds (…/generic/punktfunk-sysext/f43[-canary]), SHA-256-verified, applies the udev/sysctl scriptlet work + /etc copies, prints the layering-migration hint. Live-validated on the .41 Bazzite box incl. service restart + web console. - publish-sysext-feed.sh + rpm.yml: build + publish the image per matrix leg (fedver 43/44), canary feeds pruned to 6, stable release assets attached. - update-punktfunk.sh warns when the sysext shadows a layered install.
