Capture used to engage whenever the app became active, so the click that activates the
window — on the title bar (a drag) or a resize edge — got the cursor warped away
mid-gesture, and raw deltas kept streaming to the host while the user fought the window.
Reworked Moonlight-style, with capture as a deliberate, reversible state owned by
StreamLayerView:
- Engage: automatically once when the stream starts / trust is confirmed (one-shot, can
never fire surprisingly later), or by clicking into the video (that click's
press/release are suppressed toward the host; acceptsFirstMouse makes it one click
from another app). NEVER on app re-activation.
- Release: ⌘⎋ (toggles, key-window-scoped), focus loss — now including same-app window
switches (⌘, / ⌘N / ⌘M resign key without resigning the app; previously the new
window inherited a hidden frozen cursor and its typing was double-delivered to the
host) — and disconnect.
- While released: nothing is forwarded (InputCapture.forwarding gates the GC handlers;
held keys/buttons are flushed host-side so nothing sticks), the cursor is free, and
the HUD (now showing the capture state) is clickable.
- The no-beep behavior moved from the NSEvent monitor to first-responder key
consumption — swallowing at the monitor risked starving GC's own delivery (the
"input broken altogether" report). The monitor now only intercepts ⌘⎋.
- Adversarial-review fixes: a second session preempts the previous one cleanly instead
of leaving it captured with dead GC handlers (onPreempted); the engage click's
suppression latch can't outlive the click (mouseUp backstop); ⌘⎋'s physical Esc can't
type into the host in either toggle direction (suppressedVK latch + Esc-while-⌘
guard); capture callbacks defer out of the SwiftUI update pass.
Validated live against the box: 16185 input datagrams injected during a captured
session (gamescope EIS), title-bar drag/resize free while released, and visible
cursor + typing on a streamed KWin desktop, all user-confirmed.

The pairing/renegotiation batch bumped the punktfunk/1 ABI to v2 and the host now
hard-rejects v1 Hellos (m3.rs), so streaming from the Mac was dead until the bundled
PunktfunkCore.xcframework is rebuilt — it is gitignored, so that is a per-checkout step:
bash scripts/build-xcframework.sh. The Swift wrapper itself was already adapted upstream;
this lands the app on top of it.
- ClientIdentityStore: persistent client identity in the login Keychain, presented on
every connect so paired hosts recognize this Mac. Keychain access failure throws
instead of regenerating (a fresh identity would silently un-pair this Mac from every
--require-pairing host); a lost first-run race resolves toward the stored identity;
pairing uses the strict loadForPairing() so a memory-only identity can't strand a
ceremony.
- PairSheet: the SPAKE2 PIN ceremony, reachable from a host card's context menu and from
the trust prompt's "Pair with PIN instead…" (which drops the live session first — the
host's accept loop is sequential). Success pins the verified fingerprint and connects;
an in-flight ceremony self-discards when the sheet is dismissed, so a late success
can't pin + auto-connect behind the user's back. Wrong PIN and Keychain failures get
distinct, actionable error text.
- Tests: identity unit tests; the full pairing ceremony + --require-pairing gate on
loopback (test-loopback.sh arms a second host, parses its PIN from the log, and gives
both hosts throwaway config homes — no more writes to the real ~/.config/punktfunk);
remote pairing + pinned stream over the LAN (PUNKTFUNK_REMOTE_PIN, _PORT).
Validated live against the box: SPAKE2 ceremony with the host's arming PIN → verified
fingerprint → pinned + identified 720p60 session (host persisted the client identity);
first light 60/60 AUs decoded to pixels; vkcube on glass through the app.

The awaiting-trust and streaming phases rendered StreamView in different switch
branches, so confirming trust dismantled and recreated the NSView — the fresh pump had
already missed the opening IDR (infinite GOP: no other keyframe ever comes) and decoded
nothing. One session branch now hosts a single StreamView; the trust card is an overlay
on the blurred stream and only the capturesCursor flag flips on confirmation.
Verified live against the box (gamescope+vkcube at 720p60, 11.7 Mb/s on glass). Note for
host runs: without PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR=gamescope + PUNKTFUNK_GAMESCOPE_APP, m3-host
auto-picks KWin and streams its (black, empty) session — looks identical to a client
bug but isn't one.

The app grows from a dev connect form into a real client shell:
- Home is a grid of saved hosts (UserDefaults-persisted; context menu: Remove / Forget
Identity), "+" in the toolbar opens the add-host sheet, the stream mode moved into
Settings (⌘, / gear) — native resolution stays the only mode, no scaling.
- Trust is now explicit: the protocol always supported certificate pinning, but the app
passed no pin and discarded the observed fingerprint — silently trusting any host.
First connect now shows the host's SHA-256 fingerprint (compare with the "clients pin
this fingerprint" line in the host log) over the live-but-blurred stream; the stream
must pump immediately (the opening IDR is the only guaranteed one), so StreamView gains
a capturesCursor switch to keep the cursor free while the prompt needs clicking, and
input capture starts only after confirmation. Trusting pins the fingerprint per host;
a changed host identity then refuses to connect.
- PUNKTFUNK_AUTOCONNECT keeps working (auto-trusts, doesn't touch the saved hosts).
Host→client authorization (pairing PIN) remains a punktfunk-core roadmap item — the host
still accepts any client that can reach its port.

The host renders its own cursor from our raw deltas, so the local macOS cursor both
stays visible and drifts away from the remote one — and it can wander out of the window,
where a click focuses another app. While the stream has focus, do what Moonlight does:
warp the cursor mid-view, disconnect it from mouse movement
(CGAssociateMouseAndMouseCursorPosition(false) — GCMouse still delivers raw HID deltas),
and hide it. Released on app deactivation (Cmd+Tab is the escape hatch), view teardown,
and disconnect; re-captured when the stream regains focus. The HUD's Disconnect gains ⌘D
since a hidden, frozen cursor can't click it.

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.
