enricobuehler dfebb9dfbb chore(safety): hoist the unsafe lints into the workspace tables (WP2c hoist)
undocumented_unsafe_blocks joins unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn in
[workspace.lints], and the ~100 scattered per-file #![deny(...)] attributes
(85 files) are deleted — a new crate, or a new module in an old one, is now
covered on creation rather than on remembering. The per-file form is how
pf-vkhdr-layer, wdk-probe and half of pf-clipboard stayed uncovered.

There are THREE workspaces, so the claim is made three times: the main
Cargo.toml, packaging/windows/drivers (workspace table + [lints]
workspace = true in all seven members), and packaging/windows/pf-vkhdr-layer
(its [lints] table, previous commit). pf-update now opts into workspace
lints; the two vendored member snapshots (cros-codecs, usbip-sim) stay out
deliberately and now both say so.

Newly-covered fallout was two link-sanity tests (pyrowave-sys, libvpl-sys)
— proofs written. Stale prose that claimed the workspace held
unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn at "warn" (it has been deny) or pointed at the
deleted attributes is corrected.

nvenc_core.rs is carved OUT of the unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn fence: its
exemption rationale ("raw entry-table calls almost line for line") was
false — the file makes zero FFI calls. Its unsafe surface is C-union writes
whose soundness hangs on which codec arm is active, and its own 4:4:4 note
records the shipped bug (hevcConfig bytes stamped onto an AV1 config) that
per-operation blocks make visible. It now runs the strictest discipline in
the crate: clippy::multiple_unsafe_ops_per_block at deny, one union access
per block, each naming its codec guard.

Verified here: cargo fmt clean in all three workspaces; native clippy
-D warnings clean for everything that compiles on macOS (the three
pre-existing mac-native failures — pf-client-core wol.rs, pf-encode
dead-code/closure-call, probe mic_burst — reproduce on the clean tree).
Linux/Windows legs ride the .25/.133 gate.

Two conflicts: the test-module import list in gamescope.rs (union — the branch's takeover-state
tests and main's WSI opt-out tests both stay), and next_frame_timed_out in pf-capture, where the
branch still carried the pre-#168 else-if chain — resolved to main's match-based refactor, which
already embeds the same arm semantics plus the provisional-budget latch gate.

A Nobara 44 field box on 0.27.0 got a working Game Mode takeover — right mode,
right refresh, perf overlay in the stream — and then every game it launched
played sound and took input over a BLACK PICTURE, with no error anywhere.

#144 disabled the distro's `VkLayer_FROG_gamescope_wsi` with
`--setenv=ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0` on the transient unit, because that layer
speaks the distro gamescope's `gamescope_swapchain` protocol and ours rejects
its `swapchain_feedback`, killing the client. `gamescope-session-plus` then
runs an unconditional `export ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1` near the top of the
script, before it launches anything — so the opt-out lived exactly as long as
it took the script to start, and gamescope, Steam and every game got the layer
back. The host logged that it had disabled it, which is what made this cost a
field round-trip: the claim was true of the unit and false of everything in it.

Nothing else looked wrong because the casualty is Vulkan clients specifically.
Steam's Big Picture UI is not one, so the session came up looking perfectly
healthy right up until a game started.

Send `DISABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1` as well. The Vulkan loader resolves an implicit
layer's two manifest knobs in a fixed order (`loader_implicit_layer_is_enabled`):
`enable_environment` must equal `"1"` to switch the layer on, and
`disable_environment` is consulted last — "has priority over everything else" —
where the mere PRESENCE of the variable, at any value, forces it off. The
session script never mentions that one, so it is the only one that survives it.

Both spellings now go out through one place, so the transient unit
(`launch_session`) and the box's own session drop-in (`write_session_plus_dropin`)
cannot drift apart — the same shape `SessionBind` already uses for the bind.
`ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=0` stays alongside for a layer built without a
`disable_environment`, and because it is what an operator reads the unit for.

enricobuehler dc4d8d6832 fix(pf-vdisplay): correct the regressions this sweep introduced
An adversarial review of the sweep's own diff raised 39 claims; 23 survived independent
verification. This commit fixes them. Several are cases where the sweep traded one bug for another.

**The display budget was enforced in the wrong place.** The new Linux `max_displays` ceiling sat in
`registry::acquire` — which runs again on every mid-stream rebuild. All three create-before-drop
paths hold the old lease while acquiring the new display, and only the mode-switch path passes
`supersedes`, so a session at the ceiling counted itself against the budget and could never recover
from capture loss or a Game↔Desktop switch. At `max_displays = 1` that is a single streaming client.
Moved to `admission::admit`, which is where Windows has always applied it and which is reached once
per connect — so a rebuild cannot hit it.

**"Cannot tell" was collapsed into "wrong mode".** `unanimous_output_size` returning `None` for two
disagreeing gamescopes was compared with `== Some(target)`, so ambiguity took the destructive branch:
a nested per-title gamescope — the normal Game Mode shape — made every connect restart the box's
session and kill the running game. Now a three-state `BoxOutputSize`, where `Ambiguous` mirrors the
live node instead of re-moding, and the post-restart wait asks "did what we asked for come up"
rather than demanding unanimity.

**Decide-then-act lost its mutual exclusion.** Re-scoping the `MANAGED_SESSION` guard fixed the
shutdown restore but let two concurrent creates at the same mode both relaunch, the second stopping
the unit the first was polling. A separate `MANAGED_LAUNCH` mutex restores the exclusion without
putting launch progress back into the lock the restore samples.

**Per-axis policy salvage was applied to a selector.** `preset` chooses the other axes, so salvaging
it to the default silently re-pointed the whole document; it now refuses the document instead. A file
whose every axis is unreadable also reported `configured() == Some(default)` — flipping Linux
identity from Shared to PerClient — and now correctly reports unconfigured.

**The six `#[serde(default)]` on `EffectivePolicy` are reverted**: they loosened `POST/PUT
/display/presets` (an omitted axis defaulted where it used to 400), which nobody asked for. The
catalog salvage they were added for now lives in a private Deserialize-only mirror type, so the read
path stays lenient and the wire contract stays strict.

Also: the Windows create path stored the OS-committed refresh in the field `acquire` uses as its
resize discriminator, so a same-mode re-acquire looked like a hotplug — the requested and committed
modes are now separate fields; `output_within`'s timeout arm detached both reader threads (now
bounded by a drain grace, capped at 16 MiB, and logged honestly — a `systemd-run --pipe` unit escapes
the process group and cannot be reached); `reenable_outputs_kscreen` abandoned the mode restore
whenever kscreen-doctor hit its budget even though the enable may have landed (now tri-state);
`write_atomic` replaced a symlinked portal config with a regular file, severing dotfiles management;
several new budgets were too short for the helper they bound (`steam -shutdown` was being killed
before it could deliver the request; `linger_enabled` read a 300 ms timeout as "not lingering" and
hard-failed a correctly configured box); and a restore logged an operator-facing error for a
`systemctl` call that had merely outlived its budget while systemd still owned the queued job.

Verified: 107 tests on macOS, 202 on Linux (executed in a container, not merely type-checked),
Linux and Windows clippy clean at `-D warnings`, fmt clean.
2026-08-11 10:06:16 +02:00
enricobuehler 6b33750edc fix(pf-vdisplay): one non-UTF-8 byte in a portal config destroyed the whole file — in the module written to prevent exactly that
`portal_config::ensure_key` folded EVERY read failure into an empty string
(`read_to_string(path).unwrap_or_default()`). `upsert("", …)` then produced a file containing only
our block, the one-time backup was skipped because `!existing.is_empty()` was false, and the write
replaced the user's config — returning `Ok(true)`.

So a single Latin-1 character in a comment in `~/.config/hypr/xdph.conf` or
`~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/config` destroyed the operator's entire portal configuration, with
no backup and no warning. The module doc says flat-writing these files "destroyed [everything else]
on first connect, silently and permanently" and that this module exists so it cannot happen; that
one line re-opened the door. The same shape hit a transient EIO on an NFS or overlay config dir.

Now: bytes are read with an explicit match, only `NotFound` may mean "empty", a non-UTF-8 config is
refused by name rather than replaced, the backup is taken by BYTES, and the write is atomic
(temp + `sync_all` + rename in the same directory, permissions carried over). Five new tests, all
running on macOS — `a_non_utf8_config_is_refused_not_replaced` fails against the old code.

Also in the wlr/Mutter family:

* **Mutter's `Primary` rebuilt kept physicals from scratch** — scale forced to 1.0, transform to 0,
  disabled heads re-enabled — so a rotated, 2x-scaled or deliberately-disabled monitor came back
  wrong, while the code went to real trouble to preserve refresh. Each head now carries its
  pre-connect scale and transform, and x advances by the LOGICAL width.

* Three availability probes read session env (`SWAYSOCK`, `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP`,
  `HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE`) with no `ENV_LOCK` while `apply_session_env` `set_var`s the same
  keys from another thread — the glibc setenv/getenv race this crate's own lib.rs documents as UB.

* `wlroots::create_output` ran a statement before its `OutputGuard` existed, so a raced
  `wait_new_output` orphaned the output permanently — hyprland takes the guard first. The
  before/after name diff also ran outside any lock, so two concurrent creates could adopt each
  other's output. Both now run under a create lock, with a stray sweep on the failure path.

* `select_and_cast`'s timeout arm dropped the portal thread's `stop` flag un-set — the same leak
  Mutter was already fixed for. The guard is now built before the wait, in both copies.

* The xdpw chooser file was written per session and never removed, permanently shadowing the
  config's fallback with the name of an already-unplugged output. Its lifetime is now the handshake,
  not the session — scoped deliberately, because tying removal to the keepalive would let one
  session delete another's selection hours later.

* Hyprland's headless outputs are now named `PF-<pid>-<n>` and reconciled at startup, so a crashed
  host's leftovers are reclaimed while a live sibling host's outputs cannot be pulled out from under
  it. `set_monitor_rule` no longer discards hyprctl's rejection text and then hard-codes a
  GBM/dmabuf diagnosis it never verified.

* Both wlr backends silently dropped the `topology` policy axis: `Primary`/`Exclusive` was accepted,
  echoed by the mgmt API, applied on three backends and a no-op on two. They now say so.

Item 8.1: `swaymsg`, `hyprctl` and the portal `systemctl --user try-restart` calls are bounded
through `proc` with named budgets.

enricobuehler ef72d102b6 fix(pf-vdisplay): KWin's re-enable reported success when it matched no outputs at all, leaving a physical monitor dark
* **`reenable_outputs` returned `true` when it matched NONE of the requested outputs.** Unresolvable
  outputs were `continue`d and the return was the apply verdict alone — but an empty
  `kde_output_configuration_v2` still gets an `applied` event. So a total no-op suppressed the
  `reenable_outputs_kscreen` backstop and the operator's physical monitor stayed dark. Now counts
  staged outputs and returns `ok && matched == outputs.len()`, and refuses to apply an empty
  configuration at all.

* **The kscreen restore logged "restored the physical/bootstrap outputs" unconditionally**, with
  both call results discarded — including when `kscreen_ok` returned false on its 5 s budget, which
  is exactly the wedged state that fallback exists for.

* **`Session::open` swallowed every failure reason** — connect error, barrier timeout, missing global
  — and three of four callers degraded to kscreen-doctor with zero log. This is the class that hid
  the KWin >= 6.7 registry regression: a shipped fallback firing silently on every machine. It now
  logs at warn with the reason and the caller's operation name.

* `last_name` was seeded with a name kscreen-doctor can never resolve (KWin's address is
  `Virtual-punktfunk…`), so the intended default was guarded by an `is_none()` that could never hold
  and `apply_position` ran against no output. `our_uuid` was never reset per `create` and only
  assigned under `outcome.handled`, so a supersede positioned the *previous* output and never fell
  back.

* `probe()`'s `roundtrip` was the only unbudgeted compositor wait in the crate — every sibling path
  is budgeted — and it is reached from an async mgmt handler. Now bounded at 3 s. The pre-`created`
  dispatch loops gained deadlines and now set `stop` on the timeout arm.

* Every `wl_output` global was bound for the session's life with no `GlobalRemove` arm and no
  `release()`, on the virtual-output path too, which never reads them: unbounded growth on a
  hotplugging session.

* `monitors::list` was the one KWin call site with no kscreen fallback at all, despite `list_monitors`
  failing on exactly the condition the other four fall back for. It has one now.

* `CVT_H_GRANULARITY` and `MANAGED_PREFIX` existed as two literals under prose asserting they match;
  the second copy now imports the first.

The wider facade extraction (item 9.1) is deliberately not in this commit, but its two prerequisites
are — a comment at the restore seam records why they had to come first: a fallback arm that returns a
value the helper never checked re-introduces the silent success, behind a seam whose selling point is
one honest log per decline.

Also corrects the `PhysicalMonitor` type doc, which claimed "logical geometry throughout" while
`width`/`height` are the mode's PIXELS and `x`/`y` are logical, and adds the `logical_size()` helper
that is the only correct way to compare an extent against a position.

enricobuehler b2c03f1904 fix(pf-vdisplay): a managed launch blocked the shutdown restore that was meant to rescue it, and re-moding could flip the operator's own screen
The gamescope subsystem — the crate's largest and fastest-churning area, and the one the 2026-07-28
sweep predates most of.

* **`MANAGED_SESSION` was held across the ~90 s managed launch**, and the shutdown/idle restore
  blocks on that same lock — *after* it has already stopped our unit. So the display-manager restore
  never ran and the box was left with no session at all. `create_managed_session` now decides under
  the guard and acts outside it, re-acquiring only to store the result; `do_restore_tv_session`
  consumes the record in a short scope at the top. Same shape the SteamOS twin already used.

* **The physical-display guard was bypassed whenever no gamescope node happened to be published.**
  `if physical_display_connected() { if let Some(node) = find_gamescope_node() { … } }` fell through
  to `set-environment SCREEN_WIDTH/HEIGHT/CUSTOM_REFRESH_RATES` + `restart` when the node was
  momentarily absent — gamescope restarting between titles, or built without PipeWire — flipping the
  operator's own screen to the client's resolution and bouncing a DM-driven login session. The guard
  now refuses instead of falling through, and the forced `SCREEN_*` values (which were never unset,
  so every later session on the box inherited them) are tracked and `unset-environment`ed on restore.

* **`current_gamescope_output_size()` reported an arbitrary gamescope's `-W`/`-H`** — whichever
  `/proc` enumerated first — and four consumers treated it as this session's output size. It now
  answers only when every gamescope on the box agrees, and `None` ("cannot tell") when they differ.
  `heads.rs` no longer takes it at all: it reads the size off the DRM-backed argv it already
  selected. Its test previously passed `None`, which is why the hazard was invisible.

Resource and honesty fixes: the ATTACH path armed the box's own session-unit bind drop-in and no
in-process path ever removed it (now tracked and disarmed on both restore arms); `wait_for_node`
never called `try_wait`, so a gamescope that died at `vkCreateDevice` was polled for the full 15 s
and the error then blamed headless capture support; `do_restore_tv_session` deleted its crash-recovery
state *before* the unbounded work that state records, so a grace-period expiry in that window left
the DM down with nothing on disk to heal it; the SteamOS takeover's two failure arms never armed the
TV restore though the session-plus twin does; the TV-session restore logged success with the
`systemctl` status discarded; the `steam -shutdown` child was dropped un-reaped; and a managed
session that took nothing over was never persisted, so a host crash orphaned the transient unit.

Item 8.1: the unbounded `pw-dump`, `systemctl`, `loginctl` and `pkexec` calls in this subsystem now
go through `proc::{status_within, output_within}` with per-call budgets. `pw-dump` is polled from
three separate 45 s loops against the very daemon this file documents gamescope as head-blocking,
and until now a hang there pinned the session's stream thread forever.

enricobuehler db65980979 fix(pf-vdisplay): the ghost-monitor reap fed live devices to pnputil, and two unsafe fns had no unsafe in them
Windows half of the sweep — the reap bug, a panic that poisons two locks, and a round of unsafe
reduction.

* **The ghost reap selected the wrong devices.** It filtered `Status -ne 'OK'`, a HEALTH field: that
  matches devices that are PRESENT but in Error/Degraded/Unknown, not the ABSENT ones the reap is
  for — and it handed them to `pnputil /remove-device`, contradicting its own documented contract.
  It runs from `add_monitor`'s mid-session slot-exhaustion recovery, so the blast radius is a live
  session. Now filters on `-not $_.Present`.

* **`ensure_pinger` still used the panicking `thread::spawn` while holding two locks**, poisoning
  both — the un-fixed twin of a fix that already landed for `ensure_exclusive_watch`. Same shape
  applied.

Unsafe reduction, continuing the program that made pf-win-display's CCD helpers safe fns:

* `resolve_target_gdi` and `reisolate_after_swap` were `unsafe fn`s containing zero unsafe
  operations, and the three call-site SAFETY proofs described FFI they no longer perform. Both are
  now safe fns and those blocks are gone.
* `VdisplayDriver::open`'s `# Safety` section named no caller obligation — the same empty shape an
  earlier phase already removed from `open_device`.
* `(*detail).DevicePath.as_ptr()` derived a pointer from a `[u16; 1]` field and handed it to
  `CreateFileW`, which reads the whole flexible-array path beyond it. Now taken with `&raw const`
  from the full struct, so the pointer carries the provenance of the bytes actually read — the same
  correction already made for `MONITORINFOEXW` in ddc.rs.

Comment fixes, all verified against the code: three intra-doc links to a type this crate does not
have; a doc-comment run merged so that `shrink_action` — the gate that keeps a `Primary` group's
physical panels lit — read as undocumented while its rationale sat on an unrelated polling helper;
and the backend module header, which documented itself against a `sudovda` module that does not
exist and a fallback the crate says was removed.

Adds the first tests for `knobs.rs`, `instance.rs` and `driver.rs` — including `is_privileged_sid`,
the security-relevant predicate that decides whether an existing single-instance name is another
host or a squat, which had no coverage on any platform.
2026-08-11 08:49:06 +02:00
enricobuehler a1ff0dde0c fix(pf-vdisplay): the host promised HDR and cursor forwarding for gamescope sessions it did not start
`gamescope_ours_and` answered "did WE spawn this gamescope?" by reading `PUNKTFUNK_GAMESCOPE_NODE`.
Phase 2.3 deleted the code that published that key — routing.rs's own doc says "Nothing is written
back to the two knobs" — but this consumer was never migrated, so the read now returns "not
attaching" for every attach.

Both consumers then answer for a session this host has no flags on. On a plain box with a foreign
gamescope already running, `pick_gamescope_mode` resolves Attach at its fifth rung while the env key
stays unset, and the probe half only inspects the resolved BINARY, which is our patched build:

* `gamescope_composites_cursor()` returns true, so the host attaches no XFixes reader and blends
  nothing — while the stock gamescope actually running was never given
  `--pipewire-composite-cursor`, so the stream carries no pointer at all.
* `gamescope_hdr_available()` returns true, so the Welcome fixes `bit_depth` at 10 and the session
  negotiates BT.2020/PQ over an 8-bit SDR composite. The Welcome cannot take that back.

The same two failures hit the `capture_monitor` mirror route on any Bazzite or SteamOS box, where
the running Game Mode gamescope is by definition not one this host spawned.

The question is now asked of the resolved route rather than the environment, via a pure
`session_is_a_foreign_gamescope` that runs — and is tested — on every platform. The residual gap is
named in the doc rather than papered over: `create_managed_session`'s create-time degrade to a
foreign attach is still invisible to a ladder re-run.

Also in this commit:

* Two unguarded session-env reads now take `ENV_LOCK` (`detect()`'s `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP` fallback
  and `effective_topology()`'s legacy pins). `apply_session_env` `set_var`s those same keys from
  another thread, which is the glibc setenv/getenv race this crate's own lib.rs documents as UB.
* `mirror.rs`'s `names_ours_conclusively` was a `matches!` whose omitted default was the UNSAFE
  direction — a new backend would silently get its own virtual displays mirrored. Now exhaustive, so
  adding a `Compositor` is a compile error at the one site where the answer is a safety decision.
* `MirrorDisplay` overrides `poolable_now() -> false`; its `create` always reports `External`, so
  the trait's `true` default was a pre-create claim contradicting the post-create fact. The trait
  doc now says plainly that the default is a default and not a fact.
* The crate front-door doc listed 3 of 7 backends and quoted line counts half the size of the
  current crate; `routing.rs`'s summary was attached to the wrong item and described a published env
  channel that no longer exists; `available()` is no longer documented as cheap when it forks
  `gamescope --version` and does an unbudgeted Wayland roundtrip per call.
2026-08-11 08:48:49 +02:00
enricobuehler 9d58f4c170 fix(pf-vdisplay): one unreadable byte reverted the host to built-in display defaults, and one bad preset dropped the whole catalog
The policy layer folded every failure into "unconfigured", then wrote that emptiness back.

* **Any parse error reverted the WHOLE policy.** An unknown enum variant, a mistyped scalar, an
  EACCES or EIO — all became `Err(_) => None`, i.e. the host silently ran on built-in defaults with
  the operator's `display-settings.json` still sitting on disk. Parsing is now layered: strict
  first, then per-axis salvage so one unreadable axis costs only that axis, and only `NotFound` is
  quiet — EACCES/EIO warn loudly that the host is on defaults. `version` is read instead of being
  blindly rewritten to 1.

* **One malformed entry dropped the entire custom-preset catalog**, and the next CRUD atomically
  renamed the empty vector over the file. Entries are parsed one at a time now; a lossy load is
  flagged and refuses to overwrite.

* `sanitized()` clamped `max_displays` but never `KeepAlive::Duration.seconds`, so a PUT could pin a
  display for ~136 years — a deadline the reaper never reaches and a nonsense `expires_in_ms` in
  `/display/state`. Clamped to a day, in both `sanitized()` and `sanitize_preset_fields`, and
  sanitization now runs on LOAD as well as on write.

* The two stores' temp files had fixed names and no write lock, so concurrent saves could interleave
  serialize -> rename -> in-memory update. Unique suffixes, a lock, and the in-memory update ordered
  after the rename.

* `new_preset_id` never consulted the loaded entries for collisions.

* **Manual layout could place an unpinned display exactly on top of a pinned one**: the fallback was
  the unconditional auto-row prefix sum, blind to where prior members were pinned. Unpinned members
  now pack clear of the pins. Layout keys are canonicalized and unusable ones dropped at write time
  rather than persisted-and-ignored.

Adds 20 tests, all running on macOS: a 20k-round randomized property test asserting no unpinned
member ever overlaps a sibling (verified to fail against the pre-fix `arrange_manual`), the salvage
and quarantine paths, the clamps, and a field-count guard that fails the moment a 13th policy axis
appears without being wired into the merge path.

Note: `partial_json_fills_defaults` was renamed to `serde_defaults_fill_a_partial_document` with no
assertion weakened — it pins the FILE contract (an old settings file must still load), which is not
the mgmt PUT contract that sweep item 11.1 is about.
2026-08-11 08:48:47 +02:00
enricobuehler 61ff543acc fix(pf-vdisplay): a new client could be handed a streaming client's display, and a blind /proc scan tore every backend down
Five defects in the registry/identity half, plus the restructure that finally makes them testable.

* **A new client could be assigned a LIVE client's identity slot.** `DisplayIdentityMap::resolve`
  LRU-evicted purely on its `seen` stamp, with no knowledge of which ids are streaming. On Windows
  that id keys the manager's slot map, so the newcomer took the plain-JOIN branch and inherited the
  other client's monitor, capture target and stop flag. `resolve` now takes the live set, never
  evicts a live id, and REFUSES rather than hand one over — degrading to the shared/auto identity.

* **A transient `ActiveKind::None` invalidated every backend entry, including live streaming ones.**
  A `read_dir("/proc")` that happened to fail satisfied the change test and bumped the session
  epoch. A `None` observation is no longer evidence a desktop went away, and no longer overwrites
  the baseline (which would have bumped the epoch on the next poll anyway).

* **The Linux pool had no display ceiling at all** — `max_displays` was enforced only on Windows,
  while the pool keys on the CLIENT-SUPPLIED mode, so each distinct requested resolution minted a
  new display. Now capped in `linux::acquire`, gated on `poolable_now` so a gamescope attach or
  managed session (which consumes no pool slot) is not refused.

* **Two different definitions of "display group"** — `group_key` and a bare backend-name compare —
  and only one separated gamescope spawns. Unified as `pool::in_group`. The `position_for_new`
  collection also lacked the supersede exclusion the topology check 70 lines earlier had, so a
  mid-stream resize auto-rowed the replacement past its own dying predecessor, walking the display
  one width to the right on every mode switch.

* **Lifecycle events were wrong in both directions**: `Created` fired on keep-alive reuse, and
  `Released` fired only from the mgmt endpoint — never from a lease drop, the linger reaper,
  `mark_failed`, `retire` or `invalidate_backend`. All six now emit.

Also: `Release::Noop` no longer runs a full teardown (the one outcome the state machine defines as
"do nothing"); a failed linger-reaper spawn logs and retries instead of consuming its `Once` and
never tearing a kept display down again; group ids are a monotonic per-key counter instead of an
index into the currently-live sorted set, so an unrelated group appearing no longer renumbers a
display; and a corrupt `display-identity.json` is renamed to `.bad` with a warning rather than
silently overwritten, which used to reset every client's stable id and its saved DPI.

The pure half of the pool (`Entry`, `group_key`, `epoch_matches`, `take_expired`, `at_display_budget`,
`position_for_new`, `assign_group_ids`, `assemble_displays`) is now a non-cfg'd `mod pool`, so the
registry's decisions are exercised on every platform's CI instead of only on a Linux box. Crate test
count 53 -> 94.

enricobuehler dd9bbaf1c5 fix(pf-vdisplay): a helper that outran the pipe buffer had its output thrown away as a timeout
`output_within` read stdout/stderr only after the child exited, and its doc justified that with
"these helpers emit at most a few hundred KiB, well under any real pipe pressure". A pipe holds
64 KiB. Anything past that blocks the helper in `write()`, so it never exits, the budget kills it,
and a successful query is reported to the caller as `TimedOut` with its answer discarded.

The busiest caller is the one that trips it: `pw-dump` on a populated PipeWire graph clears 64 KiB
routinely and is polled from the 45 s gamescope loops. Confirmed empirically — a child writing
1 MiB into an undrained pipe never exits.

Both pipes are now drained on their own threads, concurrently with the wait.

That makes the joins load-bearing, which exposed the second half: the Unix `tree::Guard` was an
empty stub whose doc claimed `Child::kill` "already ends the only process there is". It never did
for this crate's Linux helpers — `pkexec`, `systemd-run`, `systemctl --user` and the `sh -c`
wrappers all fork — and a surviving grandchild holds the pipes' write ends, so a reader would wait
for an EOF that never arrives. The child is now the leader of its own process group and the guard
`killpg`s it, which is the Unix shape of the Job object the Windows half already used.

Also gates `pf-frame`, `pf-gpu` and `pf-encode` to Windows: every use site of all three is
`cfg(windows)`, and between them they dragged FFmpeg, ash and openh264 into the Linux build for
nothing (sweep item 13.19).

v0.27.0 resolved the nixpkgs wrapper decoration (`.kwin_wayland-w`) through `/proc/<pid>/exe`.
On the box that fix was written for, the kernel refuses that link.

Reading `/proc/<pid>/exe` is not gated on owning the process: `cap_ptrace_access_check` requires
the reader's effective set to be a superset of the target's PERMITTED set. NixOS's own Plasma
module ships `security.wrappers.kwin_wayland = { capabilities = "cap_sys_nice+ep"; }`, and our
host must stay uncapped — a capability is precisely what makes it unidentifiable to KWin (#136).
So the two traps compose: the name NEEDS `exe` because nixpkgs wrapped the binary, and `exe` is
DENIED because NixOS capped it. `detect_active_session` went back to `ActiveKind::None`, and every
connect died `no usable compositor` with `wayland="-"` — the identical signature to the bug #158
fixed, which is why a box worked around with a decoy process broke again when the decoy went away.

`match_name` now falls through to `argv[0]` (`/proc/<pid>/cmdline`) when `exe` is unreadable. It
reads correctly for the same reason `ps` does: make-wrapper's wrapper `exec -a "$0"`s the hidden
binary, so `argv[0]` survives the decoration `comm` does not. It is consulted LAST and never
overrides a readable `exe` — it is the process's own claim about itself, and a same-uid process can
set it to anything; the worst a spoof achieves is aiming detection at a backend that then fails its
own availability probe.

MEASURED (Linux 6.x, same-uid reader, target holding cap_sys_nice), for a file capability and for
the ambient form `security.wrappers` actually uses — identically:

  /proc/<pid> owner   real uid   (so the uid filter upstream was never the problem)
  comm                readable   (decorated + truncated, unusable alone)
  exe                 EACCES
  cmdline (argv[0])   readable

End-to-end against a LIVE capped, `.kwin_wayland-wrapped` process, old resolver vs new, both
extracted verbatim from their own sources: v0.27.0 answers `.kwin_wayland-w` (no match) in both
capped scenarios and `kwin_wayland` uncapped; the fixed one answers `kwin_wayland` in all three.

Also reached by the same rung: gamescope carries `cap_sys_nice` on a number of distros, so a
wrapped-and-capped gamescope was equally invisible to the foreign-gamescope probe.

Tests are fixture-driven (a temp dir with `comm`/`exe`/`cmdline`), for the reason #158 documented:
a renamed `/bin/sleep` stand-in dies instantly on multi-call coreutils and reads exactly like the
resolver being broken. 11 tests extracted verbatim and executed on Linux as a non-root user —
0 failures. `cargo fmt --check` and `scripts/xcheck.sh linux clippy` (`--all-targets`) clean.

Refs #158, #136.

enricobuehler 002702bcec fix(pf-vdisplay): NixOS sessions were undetectable — comm is the WRAPPER's name
The session probe decided "is a desktop live?" by reading /proc/<pid>/comm for
every process of our uid and exact-matching it against "kwin_wayland" /
"gamescope" / "gnome-shell" / "Hyprland". comm is the kernel's name for the
executed FILE, truncated to 15 bytes — not argv[0].

nixpkgs wraps essentially every graphical binary: wrapProgram moves the real
ELF aside to `.<name>-wrapped` and installs a wrapper under the original name,
which then `exec -a "$0"`s the hidden file. So on NixOS the kernel reports
`.kwin_wayland-w` (15 bytes of `.kwin_wayland-wrapped`) while ps/pgrep -a show
a perfectly ordinary `kwin_wayland`, because they read argv. Measured against a
live kernel: `.kwin_wayland-w`, `.kwin_wayland_w` (KWin's own
kwin_wayland_wrapper), `.gamescope-wrap`, all 15 bytes.

Nothing downstream could recover from that one string comparison:

  - detect_active_session returned ActiveKind::None on a *running* KDE desktop;
  - wayland_display is only resolved for a detected kind, so the connect log
    reported wayland="-" even though WAYLAND_DISPLAY was correct;
  - pick_compositor's Auto arm returns the DETECTED backend, so a live, fully
    working KWin sitting in available() was never chosen — every connect died
    "no usable compositor";
  - and PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR could not rescue it: pinned_at_a_dead_session
    consults the same probe, turning the miss into a hard error instead.

No environment variable reached the comparison — the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
fallback in detect() is only on the pinned path. Capture itself was never at
fault: a decoy process merely NAMED kwin_wayland satisfied the probe and the
stream came up against the real KWin.

Resolve the name through /proc/<pid>/exe (the full, untruncated file name) and
strip the nixpkgs decoration. Both the leading `.` and the trailing `-wrapped`
are required before anything is stripped, so KWin's own real
`kwin_wayland_wrapper` binary keeps its name rather than collapsing into
`kwin_wayland` and handing the probe the parent's PID. The comm fast path is
kept for every ordinary distro — one read, no readlink, and no name that
matched before can stop matching.

Also applied to foreign_gamescope_running, which had the same defect: nixpkgs
wraps gamescope too, so the attach-vs-spawn ladder saw no foreign session.

Tests are fixture-driven rather than spawn-driven on purpose: a stand-in has to
be a real ELF that tolerates being renamed, and /bin/sleep is not one — modern
coreutils is a multi-call binary that dispatches on the executable's own name,
so a copy called `.kwin_wayland-wrapped` exits instantly and /proc/<pid>/exe is
gone before it can be read. That failure looks exactly like this resolver being
broken; it cost one debugging round here and the same trap is already recorded
in punktfunk-host's /proc matcher.

A managed takeover runtime-masks the box's `gamescope-session-plus@*` unit so its
session supervisor cannot restart it underneath our Steam. The only unmask ran in
`do_restore_tv_session`, on client disconnect — so for the whole stream the mask
stayed on, and it silently barred the door the user was most likely to walk
through next.

`mask_unit`'s own doc said the mask "blocks nothing" on images whose sddm helper
execs the session script directly. That is half right, and the half it gets wrong
is this bug: on f43 bazzite-deck the script's last act is

    systemctl --user --wait start gamescope-session-plus@${CLIENT}.service

(verified on the .41 VM). What the mask fails to stop is the RELOGIN LOOP — sddm
keeps trying regardless, which is why stopping the DM is the real defense. What it
very much does stop is the unit, and with it every entry into game mode, including
the user's own deliberate "Return to Gaming Mode" after a mid-stream switch to the
desktop. Steam then sits on its "Switch to Desktop…" modal forever. `--runtime`
lives in tmpfs, so a reboot cleared it — hence "it works right after a reboot" —
and a plain `unmask` does not (measured: still `masked-runtime`).

So the mask's sound lifetime is shorter than the takeover's: it ends the moment the
box stops being ours. The mid-stream session watcher already detects exactly that,
so it now lifts the mask on a confirmed switch to a desktop session — ahead of the
`compositor_for_kind` arm, because a switch we cannot follow still has to unbar the
return. `Gaming` and `None` deliberately do not lift: a takeover's own managed
session reads as `Gaming` and one momentarily down between relaunches reads as
`None`, and lifting on either would void the mask for the whole stream, in exactly
the SDDM-storm window it exists for.

Fixes a second, worse leak on the way: `honor_session_select_switch` consumed
`STOPPED_AUTOLOGIN` — the only record of what carries a mask — without unmasking,
so under a DM-stop takeover the disconnect restore found an empty list and lifted
nothing. That mask outlived not just the stream but the boot. It is also what let
that path's own step 1 work at all, since the DM's autologin heads back into game
mode through precisely this unit.

The lift is idempotent, keeps the restart list intact (the disconnect restore still
owes those units a `start`), and every hand-back path now routes through it.

Verified on Linux: `switch_ends_mask_window` decision table, plus an ignored
end-to-end test driving real `systemctl --user` (masked → survives Gaming/None →
lifted by a desktop switch → restart list intact → idempotent). Proven non-vacuous
by planting "Gaming also lifts", which fails it on the during-stream assert.

Field-diagnosed on Nobara (fc44, canary g13179011), where Game Mode became unstartable and the box
was handed to plasma. #144's bind works — the patched build genuinely reaches a session script that
hardcodes /usr/bin/gamescope — but a mount namespace in a systemd USER unit is also a USER namespace,
and only this uid is mapped in it. Measured on the box:

    on disk / in a unit without the bind :  drwxrwxrwt 2 0 0          /tmp/.X11-unix
    in a unit WITH the bind              :  drwxrwxrwt 2 65534 65534  /tmp/.X11-unix
    uid_map inside                       :  1000 1000 1

wlroots checks that /tmp/.X11-unix is "owned by root or us", sees nobody, and refuses:

    wlserver: [xwayland/sockets.c:100] /tmp/.X11-unix not owned by root or us
    wlserver: [xwayland/sockets.c:217] No display available in the first 33
    -> SIGSEGV in run_pipewire

Three ~10 s failures then feed chimeraos' short-session tracker, session-plus stops even trying, and
steamos-session-select rewrites the user's session to plasma. So the symptom an operator reports is
"thrown onto KDE and I can't get back" — two removes from the cause.

Two further bugs found while fixing it, each worse than the one reported:

  * THE BIND WAS ARMED EVERYWHERE. The condition was only `gamescope_bin() != /usr/bin/gamescope`,
    so every box with punktfunk-gamescope installed took a namespace it has no use for — Bazzite,
    SteamOS-likes, the Deck. The blast radius was every gamescope box, not just the hardcoded-path
    ones the mechanism exists for. Now the host READS the session script and arms only where it
    never mentions GAMESCOPE_BIN and names /usr/bin/gamescope outright; everything else is
    bit-for-bit pre-#144, no namespace at all. An unreadable script does not arm.

  * THE DROP-IN OUTLIVED ITS SOURCES. It was written to ~/.config/systemd/user/ on the TEMPLATE, so
    it also applied to the box's OWN autologin unit at every boot — while both paths it binds live in
    tmpfs. After a reboot the drop-in survives and its sources do not, and BindReadOnlyPaths= with a
    missing source fails the unit outright. THAT is why the field symptom survived a reboot. It now
    lives in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (dies with the login session), removal covers both the runtime and the
    legacy $HOME path, and restore_takeover_on_startup does that removal unconditionally at host
    start — which is the upgrade path for every box already running canary g13179011. Without it,
    updating the host would not un-brick them.

  * A bind was armed even when gamescope_bin() fell back to the bare name "gamescope". The wrapper
    execs `gamescope` through PATH inside the unit — onto the path we just bound the wrapper over.
    Fork bomb. Refused ahead of even the operator's force.

Where the bind IS armed it now carries its own compensation: a user-owned $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/punktfunk-x11
bound read-WRITE over /tmp/.X11-unix (Xwayland creates the socket there), so the ownership check sees
"us". Skipped when that directory is already ours or absent — neither is the hazard. Stale sockets are
pruned by connect-test so a SIGKILLed session cannot walk the 33 display slots away.

And rather than trust that reasoning, the host now ASKS THE BOX before arming: it runs the field
reproduction with the real property set — `systemd-run --user --wait --collect --property=<the same
args> -- stat -c %u /tmp/.X11-unix` — and arms only if the answer is our uid. Anything else (65534, a
rejected property, no user manager, a blown 10 s budget) means no bind, and the session runs stock
gamescope: no HDR, no in-node cursor, but it STARTS. A runtime backstop disarms and relaunches if a
session launched with the bind armed produces no node in its window, latching one-way per process.

The XFixes-cursor concern that argued against relocating the socket does not hold: the only host-side
X client is spawned under `plan.gamescope_cursor`, which is `gamescope && !gamescope_composites_cursor()`,
and our shipped +pfhdr4 build is patch level 4 — so on the very route where the bind arms, that reader
is never constructed.

Field triage on Nobara, 2026-08-09. Every connect degraded to ATTACH — which on that box mirrors a
game-mode session the host never configured, and looked like a black screen on every connect. The
host said:

    the packaged pf-dm-helper polkit action is missing or was denied (reinstall the punktfunk
    package, or install the display-manager polkit rule from the docs)

Every clause of that was wrong. The action was installed, `allow_any`, and its exec.path annotation
matched the installed helper; pkexec authorized it and RAN the helper. The helper refused, and said
exactly why:

    pf-dm-helper: user 'nobara-user' is not in the 'punktfunk' group — refusing.
      Grant it with: sudo usermod -aG punktfunk nobara-user   (then re-login)

That text never reached the log, because `dm_helper` ran the helper with `.status()` — which
discards stderr and collapses the exit code to a bool. The one thing that would have ended the
investigation in seconds was thrown away at the call site, and the caller then guessed. Neither
suggested remedy adds anyone to a group, so a reader who followed both stayed broken and learned the
docs were useless. It fails soft, with no error and no failed unit, so nobody finds it on purpose.

Now: `.output()`, and four failure modes that stay distinguishable because they need different
fixes — helper not installed, pkexec could not run it, polkit denied it (pkexec's own 126/127), and
the helper ran and refused, whose stderr rides through VERBATIM rather than being re-described. Null
stdin too, so a pkexec that decides to prompt gets EOF instead of parking a stream thread on a tty
read.

The same gate gates the `linger` verb, so on a sessionless host an unjoined user fails there first —
carrying the reason there as well, or the misdiagnosis just moves one message earlier.

A new startup preflight says it before a stream is being built rather than during one, gated so it
cannot nag a box that would never attempt a takeover: not root, a display-manager alias exists, a
managed session launcher exists, a packaged helper exists, and the user is not in the group. It reads
membership from the user database rather than this process's groups, deliberately: that is what the
helper reads (it runs as root and resolves the caller from the database), so `usermod -aG` satisfies
the DM gate immediately and the warning stops. Using `getgroups()` would keep warning on a box where
the takeover already works.

Packaging said the group was for "the virtual Steam Deck pad (usbip)" — so anyone without a Deck pad
correctly skipped it and landed here by following instructions properly. All three scriptlets now
lead with Game Mode, name both grants, and record that creating the group is necessary and NOT
sufficient. Docs get the same treatment: the group is an admonition above the DM-flavor list in
gamescope.md, a black-screen entry in troubleshooting.md that tells the reader to read the quoted
reason FIRST, and the per-distro install pages no longer frame it as pad-only.

`launch_session` spawns a transient unit and can hand `systemd-run` the
`BindReadOnlyPaths` directly, but a box that owns an autologin
`gamescope-session-plus@<client>.service` is RESTARTED IN PLACE instead — no `systemd-run`,
so that path kept running Nobara's hardcoded `/usr/bin/gamescope` and the previous commit
fixed only half the problem. Found on the box: after a reboot the host took the
`ensure_box_gamescope_mode` path (the autologin unit was live) rather than the managed one.

Deliver the same two fixes as a drop-in on that unit — the bind, and the WSI opt-out when the
box's layer was built for a different gamescope — plus `PF_HZ`/`PF_HDR_ARGS`, which the
wrapper reads and would otherwise default to 60 Hz. `daemon-reload` before the restart or
systemd runs the old unit. Best-effort: a failure to write it must not block a restart that
would otherwise work, and it is a no-op on a box already resolving to `/usr/bin/gamescope`.

⚠ REMOVED on restore, deliberately. Leaving it would put the patched build — and our HDR and
cursor flags — under the user's ORDINARY game mode, which is exactly what
`packaging/gamescope/README.md`'s "sits BESIDE the distro package" rule exists to prevent. The
bind is ours only for as long as we are driving the session.

`ensure_box_gamescope_mode` grows an `hdr` param to build those args; both call sites already
had it in scope (`self.hdr`, and `create_managed_session`'s parameter).

Gate: `scripts/xcheck.sh linux clippy` clean (0 warning/error lines), `cargo fmt` clean.

enricobuehler 3500e95660 fix(pf-vdisplay): make Nobara's session run the patched gamescope, and stop the WSI layer killing every client
Two independent reasons a Nobara box could never stream from a gamescope session,
both found on glass (VM 123, Nobara 44, RTX 5070 Ti).

**1. The session ran a stock gamescope, so the host refused it.**

Nobara's `gamescope-session-plus` builds its command as

    GAMESCOPECMD="/usr/bin/gamescope \

and reads `GAMESCOPE_BIN` NOWHERE. All three of our spawn levers miss at once: the env
var is ignored, and an absolute path cannot be redirected by a PATH shim. So the session
ran stock gamescope, the capability probe rejected it, and every session died with
"pipeline build failed (out of retries) … it ignored GAMESCOPE_BIN / the PATH shim".
`~/.gamescope-cmd.log` — which the script writes with the exact command it ran — settles
that in one line, and is the first thing to read on any such report.

Fixed by binding our wrapper over `/usr/bin/gamescope` inside the transient unit's mount
namespace (`BindReadOnlyPaths`). Deliberately a bind, not a replacement: punktfunk-gamescope
ships under its own name precisely so it sits BESIDE the distro package, and the bind is
scoped to the session — nothing outside it sees the redirect and nothing is written to
`/usr`. Skipped when the resolved binary already IS `/usr/bin/gamescope`.

**2. With the patched gamescope finally running, every Vulkan client died — black screen.**

The box's `VkLayer_FROG_gamescope_wsi` ships with the DISTRO's gamescope and speaks its
`gamescope_swapchain` protocol. Ours disagrees, so the compositor rejects the client's
`swapchain_feedback` ("message too short") and drops it. Steam never paints; there is no
other symptom, which is what makes it expensive to find.

Measured with `vkcube` under each build, layer on:

    ours 3.16.25-17  ON  -> 1 rejected client
    ours 3.16.25-17  OFF -> 0
    OLD pin 3.16.25-4 ON -> 1 rejected client
    stock 3.16.23.2  ON  -> 0

 The upstream protocol XML is BYTE-IDENTICAL between the distro's commit (5cdb5b0) and
our pin — same interface version, same `uuuuuus` signature — so this is the distro patching
gamescope, not a version bump. Hence the gate is "do the upstream triples differ", not a
floor, and an unreadable version on either side leaves the layer alone rather than degrading
a box that works (Bazzite/SteamOS, where it has always been fine).

⚠⚠ The old pin fails identically, so REVERTING the pin bump fixes nothing here — this is
pre-existing, not a regression from 5fb8dce4.

Verified against the UNPATCHED distro script, reproducing exactly what this code emits:
the session's own log reports `punktfunk-gamescope version 3.16.25-17-ga87390d+pfhdr4`,
with 0 swapchain_feedback errors, 0 client-communication errors and 0 aborts.

Gate: `scripts/xcheck.sh linux clippy` clean (0 warning/error lines), `cargo fmt` clean.
Non-vacuity re-verified per the xcheck note — a planted type error in the new function
produced 3 errors, and removing it went back to Finished.

Still open, deliberately NOT addressed here: a 10-bit HDR stream aborts gamescope in
`destroy_buffer` (upstream `pipewire.cpp:88`), which is a separate defect.

`silent_without_capabilities` called the real `capability_denial_hint()` and
asserted it returns "", on the strength of a doc comment that read "The test
process has no capabilities."

That is true on a dev box and false in CI, where the runner container is root
with a full permitted set. main went red on 0f79587d with:

    left: " — NOTE: this process carries capabilities (CapPrm=0x000001ffffffffff) …"
   right: ""

Nothing was wrong: the hint fired correctly, on a process that really did hold
every capability. The test was reading the ambient environment and calling it a
property of the code.

`permitted_caps_from_status` had already been split out for exactly this reason
— "so that shape is testable without a capability-carrying process to point at"
— but only the PARSE half. The message half still went to /proc/self/status.
This finishes the split: `capability_denial_hint_for(Option<u64>)` holds the
formatting and takes the mask, `capability_denial_hint()` reads /proc and
delegates. Both keep their callers, so neither is dead code.

Also adds `names_the_mask_and_the_repair_when_capped`. Without it the silent
case passes just as well against a function that returns "" unconditionally —
which is the failure mode this repo has been bitten by before, and the reason
every decode fix carries a counterfactual.

No behaviour change: the three error paths call the same function and get the
same string.

⚠ Verification is CI. `kwin.rs` is `#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]`, so it does not
compile on the macOS host this was written from; `cargo fmt --all --check` is
clean and a Linux container check was attempted but the stock rust image has no
cmake for audiopus_sys, so it never reached the test. ci.yml going green on main
is the proof — and unlike the case it replaces, this test now fails or passes
for reasons that have nothing to do with the machine running it.

Does not touch the v0.26.0 tag: ci.yml runs on `push: branches: [main]` and
`pull_request` only, and no tag leg runs cargo test.

enricobuehler 42ee6c5628 fix(packaging): the host's CAP_SYS_NICE made it invisible to KWin, killing every KDE session
0.26.0-1 setcap'd `cap_sys_nice=ep` on /usr/bin/punktfunk-host so the encoder could open an
elevated global-priority Vulkan queue. On every KDE box that ended desktop streaming outright:

    KWin virtual output failed: KWin does not expose zkde_screencast_unstable_v1 to this client

reported from CachyOS on NVIDIA and on AMD, surviving a clean reinstall of host and client, and
worked around only by KWIN_WAYLAND_NO_PERMISSION_CHECKS=1.

The two cannot coexist. KWin hands out its restricted protocols — zkde_screencast_unstable_v1,
which mints our virtual output, and org_kde_kwin_fake_input, which injects input — only to a client
it can IDENTIFY, by resolving that client's /proc/<pid>/exe and matching it against an installed
.desktop's Exec=. The kernel refuses that readlink to any reader whose effective set is not a
superset of the target's PERMITTED set (cap_ptrace_access_check), and KWin holds no capabilities.
So the instant the binary carries one, KWin's executablePath() is empty, nothing matches, and the
global is never advertised — presenting exactly as a missing or mis-installed .desktop file.

Measured on CachyOS (kernel 7.1.6), same-uid reader, cap_sys_nice=ep on the target:

    no capability .............................. readlink /proc/<pid>/exe OK
    capability ................................. EPERM
    capability + prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1) ..... EPERM   <- dumpable is NOT the gate
    capability dropped + PR_SET_DUMPABLE(1) .... OK      <- only an uncapped process works

The third row also rules out the reflex fix of moving the grant to systemd AmbientCapabilities=,
which lands CAP_SYS_NICE in the very same permitted set. Nothing short of not holding the
capability restores identification, so the host does not get one.

The cost is pacing only. pf-zerocopy's device create already walks REALTIME -> HIGH -> default when
a priority class is refused, and pf-frame's thread nice is a documented best-effort no-op without
the capability — so this is 0.25.0's behaviour exactly, which is the behaviour that worked.

  * packaging/arch/punktfunk-host.install: grant -> revoke. post_upgrade strips the capability from
    boxes that already ran 0.26.0-1's scriptlet. A pacman upgrade writes a new inode and file
    capabilities do not survive that, so this is belt-and-braces for reinstall/downgrade paths.
  * pf-vdisplay kwin.rs: all three "KWin does not expose zkde_screencast" errors now read
    /proc/self/status and, if this process holds ANY capability, name it with its CapPrm mask and
    the `setcap -r` that repairs it. The failure stays impossible to diagnose from the Wayland side
    otherwise, and it is not unique to our own packaging — a hand-rolled setcap does it too.

Verified on 192.168.1.21 (CachyOS): the capability/dumpable matrix above; cargo check and
cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings clean for pf-vdisplay; both new unit tests pass; and the
hint itself exercised end-to-end, silent uncapped and firing with CapPrm=0x0000000000800000 under
cap_sys_nice=ep. The shipped punktfunk-host-0.26.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst was unpacked to confirm its
.INSTALL carries the setcap on both post_install and post_upgrade.

Ships as 0.26.0-2 — packaging plus one crate, no version bump.

`PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR` is documented as "which backend to drive", but it also
quietly discarded `game_session=dedicated`: `resolve_compositor` gated the
dedicated route on `!overridden` and logged nothing either way. A host whose pin
was a forgotten validation leftover therefore went on displaying "dedicated" in
the console while every launch landed in the desktop instead — for 30 days on the
box that surfaced this, the only evidence being the ABSENCE of a log line.

The pin still wins, since it is the operator's explicit hand-set knob, but it now
says so and names itself.

Two further holes the same triage turned up:

- The pin put its backend into `available()` unconditionally AND skipped
  `apply_session_env`'s `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP` scrub, so `pick_compositor` could
  never return `None` — the one place `try_recover_session()` is called from. A
  pinned host whose gnome-shell had segfaulted therefore spent every connect on 8
  doomed `RemoteDesktop.CreateSession: ServiceUnknown` retries while the
  operator's configured `PUNKTFUNK_RECOVER_SESSION_CMD` sat unreachable behind
  that arm. Liveness is now read on both paths, and a pin aimed at a dead session
  takes the recovery exit with an error naming the pin. `needs_live_session()`
  exempts gamescope, which stands its own session up — pinning it on a headless
  box stays supported.

- A mode switch accepted before the pipeline existed was served the long way
  round: build at the now-stale mode, then immediately rebuild at the new one in
  the stream loop. That burns a display create, capture attach and encoder open
  on every such connect, and because the rebuild is deliberately
  create-before-drop it stands up two Mutter `RecordVirtual` monitors ~400 ms
  apart — which segfaults mutter 50.4 inside `meta_monitor_manager_rebuild` and
  takes down the whole desktop session, along with the game just launched into
  it (so the GAME looks like what crashed). Bring-up now adopts the newest queued
  mode and builds once, carrying over the H2/H3 correction ack that the replaced
  rebuild would have sent.

Verified on a real Linux host (192.168.1.21, x86_64): `cargo clippy --workspace
--all-targets --locked -- -D warnings`, `cargo fmt --all --check` and the
punktfunk-host + pf-vdisplay test suites all clean. The gate was proved
non-vacuous against a planted `compile_error!`.

enricobuehler 102f550bba feat(host): use the new gamescope capabilities, and say so when the mode is lost
Pass --custom-refresh-rates (patch level 3+) and
--pipewire-composite-external-overlay (level 4+) on both spawn paths, with the
same probe-then-pass shape the HDR and cursor flags already use. A stock
gamescope has neither flag and gets neither, which is exactly today's behaviour.

New knob PUNKTFUNK_GAMESCOPE_REFRESH_RATES=60,90,120 widens the set a session
offers in Steam's in-session display settings. The rate the session actually runs
at is always included, so it can only add options; junk entries are skipped
rather than failing the host, because the worst a typo can cost is the extra
option the operator wanted.

And the part that would have turned a week of field triage into one log line:
warn_if_mode_lost(). --nested-refresh is the ONLY refresh a headless gamescope
has, and it reaches a gamescope-session-plus solely through the GAMESCOPE_BIN
wrapper, which the session script is free to lose — a sessions.d file sourced
with `set -a` can reassign GAMESCOPE_BIN, and one that sets GAMESCOPECMD outright
skips the whole builder. When that happens the stream still runs, still looks
right, and the client's own fps counter still reads the negotiated rate (the
encode loop repeats the held frame), while the game underneath is capped to 60.
Nothing anywhere said so.

It warns rather than refusing, deliberately: verify_managed_spawn_flags refuses
because its retry resolves a different plan, but a relaunch here would hand the
session the same environment and lose the mode the same way, so refusing would
only loop. Fails open on the same rule as the flag check — nothing to compare
against says nothing.

Also corrects the comment above the launch env, which claimed
CUSTOM_REFRESH_RATES "generates the mode the session ADVERTISES … what makes
games see the real refresh". It never did: no upstream gamescope has
--custom-refresh-rates, so gamescope_has_option gated it off and the variable was
inert. That belief is why the real lever went unexamined.

configuration.md gains the new knob and a warning on PUNKTFUNK_MAX_FPS, which
also lowers the refresh the session REPORTS on gamescope — the docs said it does
not cap the stream, which is true of the wire and not of what games are told.

Linux-verified on Ubuntu: cargo check --all-targets, clippy -D warnings, 133
tests (2 new), cargo fmt --check.

The control-device sharing contract was 'bare HANDLE copies, never
closed for the process lifetime': retired handles were deliberately kept
alive because the pinger/linger threads and the capture delivery
closures held raw copies whose soundness depended on no-close. The cost
surfaced in the 2026-08-08 field log: after a wake left the driver
hostless, every adapter reload came back REFUSED (Generic failure) —
and an open control handle is exactly what vetoes the PnP disable (and
can wedge the pnputil restart) the recovery leans on.
reset-pf-vdisplay.ps1 stops the whole host service precisely to get
those handles closed; the in-process recovery could not, because the
process could never close them.

Ownership is now Arc all the way out: ensure_device/device_handle/
control_device_handle hand out Arc<OwnedHandle> clones, every consumer
holds its clone across its IOCTLs (the capture closures each own one —
Arc<OwnedHandle> is Send+Sync, ending the isize smuggling), and
retiring drops only the manager's reference, so the handle CLOSES when
the last in-flight user drains. DeviceSlot::retired is gone. The
recovery path now releases the manager's reference at the first absent
sighting — the 3 s ABSENT_SETTLE doubles as the drain window — and
again before a not-ready-deadline reload, so the PnP cycle finally runs
against a device the host is no longer holding open.

The driver attaches no meaning to the control file closing (host-gone
is the IOCTL-liveness watchdog, EvtFileClose deliberately unhooked), so
the close has no driver-side side effects. Lock order note: RECOVERY →
device is now taken (the release hooks); the forbidden inverse still
never occurs — VdisplayDriver::open never reloads.

enricobuehler f242b2d2fc fix(host/vdisplay): a refused adapter reload now says WHY, and never targets a phantom devnode
Field log 2026-08-08 (0.25.0, wake from sleep): every session died on
'the adapter devnode could not be reloaded (Generic failure)' — the WMI
catch-all — because the REFUSED branch reported only the Disable
exception and threw away everything that would identify the failure
mode: why the pnputil /restart-device fallback ALSO failed (its exit
code — 3010 'needs a reboot' is its own diagnosis), what state the
devnode was in, and whether the right devnode was even targeted.

That last one is a real trap, not just missing telemetry: Get-PnpDevice
lists not-present PHANTOM devnodes (upgrade/reinstall leftovers), and
Select-Object -First 1 could hand every recovery attempt a phantom —
whose disable and restart both fail exactly like the field log — while
a live node sat unexamined. The selector now prefers present nodes (OK
before problem-state), and a phantom-only state gets a truthful
refusal: no reload can revive a devnode record whose device is gone;
only reinstalling re-creates it.

The REFUSED line now carries devnode counts, the chosen node's PnP
Status + ConfigManager problem code, and the restart exit code, so the
next field log decides between handle-veto, phantom, and problem-state
instead of reading 'Generic failure'. Decode pinned by test.

enricobuehler 975fef2048 fix(host/vdisplay): the ghost-monitor reap can no longer fail in silence
The reap that keeps departed virtual monitors from exhausting the IddCx
monitor-slot budget launched pnputil by BARE NAME — under the LocalSystem
service's PATH that can miss System32, SilentlyContinue swallowed the
miss, and the Rust side logged only when the count was positive: a reap
that removed nothing and a box with no ghosts were byte-identical
(silence). Ghosts then ratcheted up with every sleep cycle until
IOCTL_ADD wedged at 0x80070490 and every session black-screened — and
the wedge self-heal shipped in 0.25.0 retried an ADD behind a reap that
could never remove anything, which is exactly a persistent post-sleep
"no connection" surviving the b6acbd09 probe fix.

Same family and same cure as the adapter-reload path one function down:
resolve pnputil via $env:SystemRoot (a SYSTEM process must not trust
PATH anyway — a planted pnputil.exe would run elevated), pre-seed
$LASTEXITCODE to failure before every launch, and report found AND
removed unconditionally so "no ghosts" and "removed nothing" are
finally distinguishable in a field log. The report parse is split out
and pinned by tests like classify_reload_output.

PR #58 hardened the art proxy in the same three files this branch rewrote, and
the two changes pull in opposite directions: #58 narrowed what the host will read
from disk, while WP1.2 widened what counts as a local art path so an extracted
scanner's covers can be served at all. Resolved so the widening goes through the
gate rather than beside it.

Kept from #58, unchanged: art_path_is_confined (UNC refusal, canonicalize-or-
refuse, config-dir exclusion, roots check), the image-extension whitelist,
sniff_image_type, validate_art_paths as write-time validation, the AuthLane
privileged-field check on every entry in a reconcile payload, and the launch
redaction in GET /library.

Three reconciliations:

  * `local_art_bytes` converts a `file://` value to a path BEFORE calling
    art_path_is_servable, so the confinement check and the read see the same
    path. Ordering is the point: percent-decoding happens before
    canonicalization, so a `%2e%2e` escape cannot hide from the traversal check.
    Pinned by a test.

  * `art_roots()` gains $HOME on POSIX. This is the one that would have bitten
    silently: the list was empty on non-Windows, which was correct while
    is_local_art_path was Windows-shaped (Playnite is Windows-only, so nothing on
    a POSIX host was ever classified as local art and the confinement had nothing
    to confine). Once WP1.2 classifies POSIX paths as local, an empty root list
    is not "secure by default" — it serves NO plugin art on Linux, which is every
    cover the lutris and steam plugins emit. $HOME is the exact analogue of the
    Windows users base #58 already ships, and covers Steam's librarycache and
    grid overrides, Lutris's coverart/banners (both copies), Heroic's caches and
    all the Flatpak variants. It is not the load-bearing control: a value still
    needs an image extension, must canonicalize to a real regular file inside a
    root and outside the config dir, and must CONTAIN image bytes.

  * The two tests that both wanted to mutate PUNKTFUNK_LIBRARY_ART_ROOTS became
    one. Cargo runs tests as parallel threads of a single process, so two tests
    setting the same env var race. The `file://` and confinement assertions moved
    into #58's existing confined test; what remains of the WP1.2 test is the
    pure classification/rewrite half, which touches neither env nor filesystem.

Also: `steam_ui` was missing from the list of host-resolved launch kinds in
privileged_field's doc comment and in the 403 a plugin sees. Prose only — the
check is a denylist (prep, launch.kind = "command"), so steam_ui was never
actually refused — but a plugin author reading that error would have concluded
otherwise.

Gates on .21: punktfunk-host 433 passed / 0 failed (including #58's H-2 tests and
the new file:// ones), full workspace tests clean, workspace clippy -D warnings
clean, cargo fmt --all --check clean, OpenAPI drift test green.

enricobuehler 8103958169 fix(security): the plugin lane stops being a way in
Acts on the 2026-08-05 host security review. 36 of its 38 findings; the two
exceptions are recorded below and in the review doc.

The review's headline is that `plugin_may_access` was the one authorization
gate in the system that was allow-by-default — a hand-maintained denylist of
route prefixes, where every sibling gate is deny-by-default. Its own doc
comment names the two capabilities it exists to withhold, and both were
reachable one route over, because ~1450 commits of new routes were added and
the list was never one of the things anyone remembered to update.

So the gate is now an allowlist, and a test walks the live route table and
fails the build for any route that has not been deliberately classified for
both non-admin lanes. That test is the actual fix: it is what stops the next
route from arriving pre-authorized.

Route reachability and field authority turned out to be different questions.
A provider plugin has to be able to reconcile its own library entries — that
is what a scanner plugin IS — but `prep` and a `command` launch inside that
payload are handed to `/bin/sh -c` as the host user, and every execution site
documents them as operator-typed. Requests now carry the lane that authorized
them, and those two fields are refused to everyone but the operator's own
token.

The art proxy read any absolute path off disk in the host process, which on
Windows is LocalSystem, from a path the plugin lane could write and then read
back — so it yielded `mgmt-token`, which is full admin. It now serves only
real images (extension AND magic bytes, so a renamed secret fails), only from
inside an allowed root, only after canonicalization, and never over UNC; and
a path it would refuse to serve can no longer be persisted in the first place.

On Windows, the config-dir hardening was skipped exactly when it was needed —
it ran only in the branch that CREATES host.env, so the case it was written
for (a local user pre-created the directory and planted one) was the one case
it never ran in. It is now unconditional and first, an existing host.env is
re-owned, and the inheritable OWNER RIGHTS ACE that kept an attacker's files
theirs after the directory was re-owned is gone. The identity and token
readers were hardening the directory only on the path that GENERATED a new
secret, so a planted cert/key or token was adopted verbatim and permanently;
they harden before the first read now.

`ensure_admin_only_source` is implemented. The 2026-07-05 audit recorded it as
FIXED and it was in no commit in this repository's history — the local EoP it
described was live, and it is the payload half of the config-dir chain above.

Also: the three input planes are bounded and lossy like the mic plane on the
same loop already was; Android's library client no longer accepts any
publicly-trusted certificate for the pinned host; the usbip vhci nodes get
their own group instead of riding on `input`, which every packaging scriptlet
tells users to join; a registry URL can no longer inject a TOML table into
bunfig.toml; the pairing cooldown is charged before the arming state is read,
so armed/disarmed is no longer a free oracle; and the whole Low tier, of which
the two worth naming are a clipboard MIME NUL that panicked the host on one
control message, and an unauthenticated global logout that let any LAN peer
sign the operator out on a loop.

NOT fixed, deliberately:

  H-3 (plugin UIs framed allow-same-origin). Dropping allow-same-origin does
  not work: the document's origin goes opaque, its subresource requests are
  then cross-site, the SameSite=Lax session cookie is not sent, and every
  plugin asset 302s to /login. The "open in new tab" link is the same
  escalation with no iframe at all, so the sandbox attribute is not where this
  gets fixed either. It needs a second listener — a distinct origin that is
  still the same site — which changes the console's deploy model and wants
  on-glass validation. The mechanism and the dead end are written down at the
  iframe.

  H-6 registry authentication, whose other half lives in unom/infra. The
  in-repo halves are done: workflow_dispatch inputs no longer interpolate into
  run: blocks (one of them in the step holding UPDATE_MANIFEST_KEY), and the
  syft installer is pinned to its tag instead of main. Digest pinning is left
  until the registry is authenticated, because a tag — content-keyed or not —
  can simply be overwritten while anonymous pushes are accepted.

M-5 is half done: the oracle is closed, but binding the arming window needs
the console to learn the fingerprint first, which is a knock-then-bind flow
rather than an edit.

Verified: cargo fmt --all --check clean; cargo check --all-targets green on
Linux and on Windows (confirmed non-vacuous — a planted type error in
windows/install.rs fails the build); scripts/xcheck.sh windows check green;
cargo test -p punktfunk-host --bins 416 passed, the single failure being
gamestream::stream::tests::sender_delivers_batches, the known qemu-environmental
UDP-loopback flake that fails identically on clean main in the same container;
cargo test -p pf-clipboard 13 passed; web console typechecks.

enricobuehler 3d4a659959 feat(host,sdk,kit): store claims, launcher entries, and plugin sources on the wire
M2 of design/library-scanner-plugins-implementation-plan.md. Everything a
library scanner plugin needs is now expressible over the API; all additive.

WP2.1/2.2 — store claims (D2). library.json gains a v2 shape ({entries, claims})
that loads the v1 bare array unchanged and is written on the first mutation.
PUT /library/provider/{p}?store=<s> claims a store for a provider: its entries
then surface with deterministic <store>:<external_id> ids and the store's own
badge instead of opaque custom:<id> ones. That identity is the whole point —
entry ids, GameStream FNV app ids, client art caches and Moonlight pins all
survive a title moving from an in-host scanner to a plugin. One provider per
store (409 otherwise); DELETE releases; an empty reconcile does NOT (a store can
legitimately have zero titles). While a claim is held, all_games() skips the
matching built-in scanner, so the two never double-list during the bridge.

WP2.3 — DetectHint gains steam_appid and env_marker, the two store-derived
signals the host used to read for itself. Without them a steam plugin's lease
tracking would drop from reaper-exact to dir-prefix, and Heroic-under-Proton
would lose the only signal that works. Malformed markers are dropped, not
honoured — this feeds a path that can end processes.

WP2.4/2.5 — role: game|launcher on the entry shapes (serde-default, skipped when
default), and a steam_ui launch kind valued bigpicture|desktop that opens the
Steam client itself. Validated inbound as well as at launch.

WP2.6 — GET/PUT /library/scanners generalizes to SOURCES: built-in scanners
minus claimed ones, plus claimed stores, plus any provider with entries. The
same library-scanners.json disabled-set backs all of them and the ids match by
construction, so a user's disabled state carries over verbatim through the whole
migration. A disabled plugin source has its entries filtered at read time,
exactly like a disabled scanner.

WP2.7/2.8 — plugin registration gains a category field (the console keeps
library plugins out of the nav); index entries gain categories and per-platform
detect probes, evaluated existence-only into CatalogEntry.detected so the host
never re-grows per-store knowledge. Index SCHEMA stays 1 — additive.

WP2.9 — OpenAPI + SDK regenerated on Linux; kit wire widened (LaunchSpec.kind is
now a plain string documented against the host's vocabulary — closes G3), and
ProviderClient.reconcile takes an optional store and returns the host's echoed
entries so a caller can detect a pre-M2 host silently ignoring the claim.

Also fixes a bug the S3 spike turned up: is_steam_launch gated on a steam:// URI,
so a steam_ui launcher entry would have skipped BOTH gamescope's --steam mode and
the B1 single-instance free — on a box autologged into game mode, the nested
second Steam would see the first and exit, crashing the spawn. It now tests the
first token.

Gates on .21: workspace tests green (punktfunk-host 425 passed), workspace
clippy -D warnings clean, cargo fmt --all --check clean, OpenAPI drift test
green. plugin-kit: tsc clean, 20 tests pass.

Three things a field report (Discord, upgrade from 0.1x) turned up, all on the
Windows host.

1. "It thinks I have Sunshine/Apollo running." It didn't — they were uninstalled.
   Both uninstallers leave their config/log directory in Program Files behind, and
   `detect.rs` counted a bare directory, or a service registered at ANY start type
   (including `disabled`), as a live conflict. The installer's own probe was
   narrowed to "service start type <= 2" after exactly this cried wolf on a
   `winget install`, and the tray dropped its always-on warning for the same reason
   in 3e782852 — the runtime probe never got the same treatment, so the one surface
   the user actually looks at kept shouting. `Evidence::is_active` now draws the
   line (running, or set to start on its own) and only active detections reach the
   startup warning, the `detect-conflicts` exit code, and `/local/summary`. Dormant
   findings still print in the full report, under a heading that says they need no
   action — that report is where "why does it think I have Apollo?" gets answered.

2. The console's conflicts card hardcoded "Another game-streaming server is
   **running** on this machine" regardless of what was found, so a dormant leftover
   was announced as a running server. It now says "active", and each entry names
   the observation — `Sunshine (running)`, `Apollo (starts automatically)`.

3. "The exclusive screen never times out going back to re-enabling the display."
   `isolate_displays_ccd` deactivates the operator's panels and hands the
   pre-isolate topology to the caller, which restores it at teardown — but that
   snapshot is PROCESS MEMORY, and Windows deliberately never saves the isolated
   topology to the CCD database. So a host that crashed, was killed, or was stopped
   mid-session left the desk dark with nothing in the product to undo it. There was
   one startup recovery leg already, but only for the EXPERIMENTAL
   `pnp_disable_monitors` axis, which is off by default — the default Exclusive path
   had none. `isolate_journal` now marks what an isolate is about to switch off
   (before the apply, so dying mid-apply is covered), clears the mark on restore,
   and force-EXTENDs at host startup if a mark survived. EXTEND rather than
   replaying the saved blob: the blob pins the virtual display's target id, which
   dies with the crashed host, so a replay would mostly fail BAD_CONFIGURATION into
   the very same backstop `restore_displays_ccd` already keeps — and EXTEND stays
   correct across a reboot, where saved ids would be stale.

A woken Windows host refused every connection with "pf-vdisplay driver
interface not found", on a box where the driver was installed and running.

Resuming re-enters D0 and re-registers the IddCx control interface while
the rest of the resume storm is still going. A client reconnecting a
second after wake lands inside that gap. `ensure_available` probed
exactly ONCE, so it read the gap as a dead driver and answered a device
that was seconds from ready by disabling and re-enabling it — then gave
the interface 4 s to come back, which a contended post-resume PnP does
not meet. The session failed, and the log blamed a missing install.

The recovery also could not tell whether it had recovered anything. It
ran the whole cycle under `SilentlyContinue` and reported
`(Get-PnpDevice).Status` — the DEVICE's status, not the cycle's outcome —
so a disable that was REFUSED left the adapter untouched, started, and
reading `OK`. That is the reporter's `cycled the adapter device …
status=OK` line: a recovery that never happened, announcing success. And
a refusal is the expected case here, not the exotic one:
reset-pf-vdisplay.ps1 stops the host service first precisely because the
host holds the driver's control device open, a step an in-process cycle
structurally cannot take.

- Distinguish a devnode MID-TRANSITION (interface registered, not started
  yet, or the open refused) from one genuinely ABSENT. Wait the first
  out; only the second earns a reload. `Probe` carries the counts.
- Report what the reload DID, not what the device looks like afterwards:
  every failable step is `-ErrorAction Stop` in a `try`, and
  `pnputil /restart-device` is the fallback for the in-use device that
  `Disable-PnpDevice` refuses. Failure paths re-enable, so a half-cycle
  can never strand the adapter DISABLED.
- Give the interface 15 s to arrive after a reload, not 4 — under a 30 s
  hard ceiling so a permanently wedged devnode still fails predictably.
- Serialize recovery: N sessions racing in after a wake perform ONE
  reload, not N interleaved ones. The lock is taken only where no manager
  lock is held, so the order stays one-way.
- Retire the manager's cached control handle when a reload runs, instead
  of letting the next session discover it via a failed IOCTL.
- Surface the real reason. `ensure_available` returns `Result`, so the
  log names how long it waited, whether a reload ran, and how many
  interface instances were seen in what state — the detail that would
  have identified this from the field report's log alone.

`VdisplayDriver::open` now shares the wait (brief, no reload) instead of
carrying a second, drifted copy of it — that path is also reached by
`hw_cursor_capable` mid-handshake, where a reload would be the wrong
trade for one capability bool.

Windows-gated, so verified with scripts/xcheck.sh (check + clippy -D
warnings, --all-targets) and cargo fmt; on-glass wake test still owed.

KWin stores output configuration per *setup* — the exact set of connected
outputs, matched by EDID/connector — in `kwinoutputconfig.json`, and
`replicationSource` is one of the fields it saves and restores
(`OutputConfigurationStore::storeConfig` / `setupToConfig`). Our virtual output
carries a STABLE name on purpose, so once any setup has an entry making
`Virtual-punktfunk` a mirror of a physical head, KWin re-applies it to OUR
output on every session that reproduces that same monitor set — and only that
set, which is why the failure looks environment-dependent: a field report has
the stream cloning the panel whenever exactly one monitor is live, and behaving
normally the moment the others come back (a different setup key, a different
stored entry).

A mirroring output is not a desktop. KWin's `applyMirroring` overrides its scale
and render offset to the source's, so the stream carries the physical screen's
viewport at the physical screen's size instead of the mode the client
negotiated. The protocol says the rest out loud on `priority`: "an output may
not be in the output order if it's disabled or mirroring another screen" — so
the primary assertion this module works so hard to verify silently stops meaning
anything too.

Nothing we sent ever contradicted the stored value. The topology config enabled
our output, took priority 1 and disabled the others, but never stated the one
property that decides whether the thing is its own screen. Now it does:
`set_replication_source(ours, "")` rides along in the config we already build
(free, idempotent — an empty source is exactly what KWin resolves to "mirrors
nothing"), gated on management v13 where the request appeared, since wayland-rs
does not range-check requests and an out-of-range opcode would kill the
connection.

`extend`/`auto` issue no topology calls by design — the streamed output is meant
to join the desk without rearranging it — but a mirror is not an arrangement, it
is a broken source under every topology. So they get `clear_replication_source`,
which enumerates and applies ONLY when our output really is mirroring.

The device's `replication_source` event is now read, so the state is visible: a
mirrored streamed output names its source in a warn instead of leaving "the
stream just shows my monitor" as something only the reporter can see.

Verified on 192.168.1.25 (Ubuntu, cargo 1.96): `cargo test -p pf-vdisplay` 128
pass (7 in `kwin_output_mgmt`), `cargo clippy -p pf-vdisplay --all-targets
--locked -D warnings` clean, `scripts/xcheck.sh linux` clean, fmt clean. NOT yet
on-glass — no KDE box here reproduces a stored mirror; the reporter's setup is
the real test.

The managed takeover masked gamescope-session-plus@*.service and trusted
the mask to hold SDDM's Relogin=true loop at bay. On images whose sddm
session helper execs the session script directly (/etc/sddm/wayland-session
gamescope-session-plus steam — f43 bazzite-deck), the relogin never touches
the unit: SDDM relogged in ~3x/s for the whole stream, each attempt a full
bash --login session start failing against the managed instance. Live on
the .41 VM (2026-07-31): 328 forks/s, load 6+, 1481 logind sessions in
8 minutes, the journal flooded past its own rotation — and a 5070 Ti that
"could not hold 240fps".

A DM that drove a LIVE gaming session is now stopped for the stream's
duration on every flavor (the fragile-flavor machinery — lingering guard,
pkexec dm-helper, restore via reset-failed+restart, crash-persisted state —
already existed and is reused as-is; a pure dm_plan() derives the decision
and is unit-tested). The flavors now differ only in the degraded mode when
the stop is impossible: SDDM falls back to mask-only (the storm tax, but
Steam stays protected — never attach), fragile DMs still fail the takeover
into the attach degrade. The mask stays as belt-and-braces for the window
before the stop and for images that do route the relogin through the unit.

Verified: scripts/xcheck.sh linux clippy (-D warnings, --all-targets)
clean; pf-vdisplay suite 125/125 on Ubuntu 26.04.

Device Manager, the firewall list and the monitor name all said "punktfunk". The brand
is Punktfunk.

Renamed: the [Strings] blocks of all four driver INFs (device descriptions, install
disks, provider, manufacturer), the `description` on every SwDeviceProfile the host
creates, pf-mouse's HID manufacturer + product strings, pf-vdisplay's IddCx endpoint
friendly + manufacturer names, the EDID 0xFC display-name descriptor — so Windows now
shows `Generic Monitor (Punktfunk)` — and the netsh firewall rule names.

The EDID edit is a single byte (0x70 -> 0x50) and needs no hand-patched checksum:
Edid::generate_with already recomputes both block checksums after patching the serial.

Deliberately left lowercase, because these are IDENTITIES rather than display names and
renaming them would orphan installed state:

  * the SwDeviceCreate enumerator `w!("punktfunk")` — it IS the SWD\PUNKTFUNK\... path
    every pad instance id is built from
  * pf-paths' `join("punktfunk")` — C:\ProgramData\punktfunk
  * the CN=punktfunk-driver cert subject, which purge_driver_certs and both driver build
    scripts match by string
  * install.rs' `lo.contains("punktfunk virtual display")` probes, whose haystack is
    to_ascii_lowercase()d, so they already match the capitalised name

Nothing is orphaned by the renames that DID happen either: netsh rule names,
Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName and PowerShell's -match are all case-insensitive, so
the firewall delete paths and reset-pf-vdisplay.ps1's -AdapterName / -GhostMatch
defaults still reap what every release up to 0.22.1 created.

Cosmetic, with two consequences worth knowing: it takes a driver rebuild + re-sign to
appear at all, and an existing devnode keeps its cached FriendlyName until it is
recreated.

The capture-latched client (console.rs latched_mouse) never advertises
CLIENT_CAP_CURSOR, so its session resolved cursor_blend=false and asked
Mutter to EMBED the pointer. On a Mutter virtual stream that is a
fiction: since Mutter 48 (7ff5334a, hw-cursor inhibition removed) the
software cursor overlay is suppressed stage-globally whenever any
physical head realizes a HW cursor — dmabuf-recorded frames blit the
view without a pointer, and cursor-only motion schedules no re-record
either (mutter#4939). Probed on-glass on Mutter 50.3: embedded +
relative motion = frozen frame counter; SPA_META_Cursor positions kept
flowing in the same setup.

So the no-channel session now takes the path that was verified end to
end: cursor-as-metadata + the host composites, permanently — the same
arm a channel session lands in after its capture-model flip. Embedded
remains only the can't-blend fallback (libav VAAPI/NVENC, software).

- session_plan::cursor_blend_for grows the no-channel arm (codec +
  depth in, the same CUDA-payload prediction handshake makes);
  gamescope excluded so patch-2+ keeps its native-NV12 zero-copy shape
- the encode loop's composite refresh + one-shot breadcrumbs now cover
  the no-channel session; the park schedule keeps retrying while its
  composite is starved (relative-only clients cannot park themselves)
- the compositor retarget re-applies set_hw_cursor — the rebuilt
  display used to come up EMBEDDED even for channel sessions
- the GameStream virtual source takes the same rule (it never has a
  channel); its stream_body blend flag mirrors the request
- punktfunk-probe grows --cursor-nochannel (the latched-capture client,
  headless); cursor-probe grows --dump (PPM frames + a content-change
  counter, the pixel evidence the embedded A/B lacked)

A field report (CachyOS, KWin 6.7.3, Plasma): topology primary streams
the new virtual display but the desktop stays on the physical — while
the host logs primary_taken=true on every apply. Both halves were real:

* KWin's handler for kde_output_configuration_v2.set_primary_output is
  literally '// intentionally ignored' (verified in the 6.7.3 source).
  The output order is driven by per-output set_priority (management >= 3;
  we bind up to v22 and never called it). Exclusive only ever LOOKED
  right because disabling every other output leaves KWin nothing else to
  promote. Now: ours gets priority 1 and every other enabled output is
  renumbered uniquely behind it, exactly what kscreen-doctor does — the
  reporter proved that path applies and sticks on their box.
  set_primary_output is still sent for pre-v3 compositors.

* primary_taken echoed the REQUEST. The log now waits one sync barrier
  for KWin's post-apply priority events and reports primary_verified
  from the read-back — a request the compositor ignores can never ship
  a green log again; the mismatch is a WARN naming the symptom.

First-slot-wins refinement the working priorities made necessary: a
SAME-NAMED output is this slot's own predecessor mid-supersede (mode
switches create the replacement before dropping the old), not a sibling
whose primary must be respected — deferring to it handed primary to
whatever KWin promoted when the predecessor vanished a moment later.

On-glass (nested KWin 6.7.3): fresh create, high-refresh custom-mode
create, and the mode-switch supersede all read back verified=true;
exclusive still disables + restores the other output in-process.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 664c26cb2b fix(vdisplay): a pin with no heads to mirror must not refuse the session
The streamed-screen pin is host-wide and persisted, but the session it applies to
is not. A box that boots between a desktop (heads to mirror) and a nested or
headless Game Mode (none) carried the pin into a session where `monitors::resolve`
could only fail — and since `vdisplay::open` is the one place every session opens a
display, that failure was a host refusing to stream at all rather than one
streaming the normal way. Pinning a monitor in Desktop mode bricked Game Mode.

A compositor reporting NO heads whatsoever now degrades to the virtual-display
path with the reason logged. Narrow on purpose: a pin that misses among heads that
DO exist stays the hard error §5.2 makes it — showing someone a different screen
than they asked for is the failure worth refusing over, and "there are no screens
here" is not that. An enumeration ERROR also stays on the mirror path, so the
session fails with the real reason instead of quietly ignoring the operator.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 028462ef6d feat(vdisplay/gamescope): a Game Mode session drives a real head — list it, and mirror it
The per-monitor capture feature shipped with gamescope written off as "nested,
therefore no physical heads of its own", and `monitors::list` returned a
hard-coded empty Vec for it. That premise holds for a gamescope nested in another
compositor and for the headless ones this crate spawns — but not for the
deployment people actually stream from: a Bazzite/SteamOS Game Mode session is
the DRM master and drives the TV directly. On such a box the console's picker was
permanently empty, on exactly the hardware the feature was asked for.

`gamescope/heads.rs` answers the narrow question instead — is this gamescope on
the DRM backend, and which connector is it lighting? — from `/proc/<pid>/cmdline`
(the backend flag and `--prefer-output`; gamescope publishes no protocol that
reports its own output) and `/sys/class/drm` (what is plugged in, plus each
connector's EDID for the picker label and the panel's preferred timing). The
nested/headless shapes still answer an empty list, which is what they always
meant.

Mirroring needs no new capture code: gamescope composites its one head into a
PipeWire node it already publishes, so the mirror arm is an ATTACH to that node —
the gaming session is not stopped, relaunched or re-moded, which is the whole
difference between "stream the panel I am looking at" and the MANAGED takeover
that deliberately blanks it.

Refresh comes from the EDID and never from `--nested-refresh`: that flag is the
rate gamescope composites the nested game at, and reading it as the connector's
rate would let a session launched at 60 cap a 120 Hz TV for the whole stream.

Verified against home-bazzite-1's live EDID: manufacturer `1e6d` -> GSM, name
descriptor -> "LG TV SSCR2", preferred timing 594 MHz / 4400x2250 -> 3840x2160@60.

enricobuehler ed021a13ee test(vdisplay): give the 3.2 case eyes — a subscriber, and the probe that splits the two candidates
§5 3.2 reproduces on glass and the shipped fix is not sufficient: the panel stays dark after
teardown. Two candidates were left undistinguished by the first on-glass run — the adopted snapshot
was already poisoned, or the dark-desk backstop never fired — because the case had no way to tell
them apart. This adds that way.

**The subscriber.** The adoption arm and `restore_displays_ccd`'s backstop announce themselves ONLY
through `tracing`, and a bare `cargo test` harness installs no subscriber, so both events went
nowhere. `tracing-subscriber` becomes a DEV-dependency of pf-vdisplay (the shipped host's closure
through this crate is unchanged) and `init_test_tracing` wires it: `try_init` so a second live case
in the same binary is a no-op rather than a panic, `with_test_writer` so it interleaves with the
harness rather than racing `println!`, `RUST_LOG` still winning over the `debug` default.

`live_inplace_resize` gets it too — its comment claimed tracing-subscriber "is not a dep of this
crate, run the host binary for traced runs", which was the same blindness written down as a
limitation. It no longer holds.

**The probe is the actual discriminator, and it needs no logs at all.** Member 1's isolate is
INJECTED to fail, so nothing of ours deactivates anything there. Sampling `active_physicals()`
immediately after member 1's create therefore answers the question directly:

* empty  -> the arriving IddCx monitor took the desktop on its own. Every snapshot from that instant
  on records "panel off", so member 2's adopted snapshot is POISONED AT BIRTH and restoring it
  faithfully restores darkness. Adoption works; the snapshot SOURCE is the defect.
* non-empty -> poisoning is excluded and the break is downstream: no adoption line means teardown's
  restore was never gated on, a backstop line with a non-zero force-EXTEND rc means the remedy
  itself failed.

The failing assertion now reads that verdict out instead of asserting one cause, so the next on-glass
run reports which link broke rather than only that one did.

⚠️ Still UNRUN on glass — this is the instrument, not the measurement. Needs .173's CONSOLE session
(ssh is session 0 and CCD sees nothing there), and it can leave the desk dark: recover with
`SDC_USE_DATABASE_CURRENT|SDC_APPLY`, not EXTEND, which returns rc=31 against a single display.

Checked while writing this, and recorded so it is not re-derived: the "backstop is structurally
inert on a one-display box" theory does NOT survive. Both real call sites restore BEFORE the virtual
is REMOVEd, so two displays are connected and the preset applies — `live_force_extend_*` measured
exactly that (1 -> 1 -> 2). The documented residual is narrower: a restore that fails once the
virtual is already gone.

Verified: `xcheck.sh windows clippy` clean (it passes `--all-targets`, so this test code really is
compiled), `cargo fmt --all --check` clean.

⚠️ `Cargo.lock` moves with this commit and must not be split from it. CI runs
`cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked`, so a new dependency edge whose lockfile entry is
missing does not degrade to a re-resolve — it FAILS the build outright. The dev-dependency adds one
line (pf-vdisplay gains a `tracing-subscriber` edge; the package itself was already in the graph via
punktfunk-host and pf-encode, so nothing new is vendored).

enricobuehler 8381fd73ef test(vdisplay): bound the 3.2 case's creates, and what it found on glass
A hang must fail the case, not wedge the box. The first attempt at this case hung inside
`create`; killing the harness skipped every `Drop` and leaked an IddCx monitor, and a few of
those exhaust the driver's slot pool — after which every later run wedges too and only a reboot
clears it. Both creates now run on a worker thread with a 45 s budget, so the harness exits
NORMALLY, which is what lets the driver reap the session. Re-run with matched host+drivers: no
hang, no leak, and the box came back with the panel lit.

 With that guard in, §5 3.2 REPRODUCED ON GLASS for the first time (.173, LG TV attached, host
0.21.0 + drivers 9.9.728.2241, first isolate injected to fail):

    physicals before                        : [(4352, "LG TV SSCR2 [HDMI]")]
    after member 1 (isolate INJECTED to fail): [(260, "punktfunk [punktfunk-virtual]")]
    after member 2 (isolate REAL)            : [(260, …), (264, …)]
    physicals during                         : []
    physicals after teardown                 : []   <-- the operator's panel, still dark

So the shipped 3.2 fix — adopt the first SUCCESSFUL isolate as the group's restore snapshot — is
necessary but NOT sufficient. Two candidate reasons, both worth checking before changing code:

* The adopted snapshot is already POISONED. The panel went dark at member 1's create even though
  our isolate never ran (the injected failure), because the arriving IddCx monitor took the
  desktop on its own. Member 2's isolate then snapshotted a topology in which the physical was
  ALREADY inactive, so restoring it faithfully restores "TV off". This is the same
  poisoned-snapshot chain §5 already records from the field logs.
* `restore_displays_ccd`'s dark-desk backstop did not rescue it either. Worth its own look, since
  21eda37a is what first made that condition evaluable at all (before it, our own display counted
  as a lit physical and the guard could never fire).

⚠️ Not yet distinguished, because this case installs no tracing subscriber: whether the adoption
arm fired at all, and whether the backstop ran and failed or never ran. That is the next
diagnostic — `live_inplace_resize` shows the pattern for wiring a subscriber into a live case.

Also confirms 21eda37a in the field: the virtual displays report `tech=punktfunk-virtual` and are
correctly absent from the physicals list, which is what makes "physicals after teardown: []" mean
what it says rather than counting our own output as the operator's panel.
2026-07-29 00:18:27 +02:00
enricobuehler 22f2686680 feat(vdisplay/windows): the console can finally show the operator's real screens
`GET /display/monitors` returned an empty list on every Windows host, plus a LINUX error string:
`monitors::list` is a per-compositor dispatch whose non-Linux arm bails, and it never even got
that far because `detect()` was not cfg-gated — on Windows it fell through to an
`XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP` sniff and failed with advice about setting `PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR`, which the
handler puts VERBATIM into the response. So the console showed no physical screen and its only
explanation was Linux troubleshooting (sweep §13.17).

The data was there all along. `target_inventory()` already walks the CCD database; it now also
reports the geometry that walk had in hand — the driving source's position and mode, the GDI
device name, the refresh rational, and `primary`. No second CCD walker.

* `monitors::list_windows()` maps that onto `PhysicalMonitor`. Two fields cannot mean on Windows
  what they mean on Linux and are reported honestly rather than invented: `scale` is always 1.0
  (Windows scaling is per-monitor DPI applied per application, not a compositor-global logical
  scale — so the geometry is PIXELS), and an INACTIVE head gets zeroed geometry because the CCD
  mode indices are only valid for active paths. Inactive heads are still listed, per `list`'s own
  contract, so "why can't I pick it?" keeps an answer.
* `managed` is finally truthful. The doc says only KWin can tell a virtual output from a real head;
  Windows can too, via our own EDID manufacturer id in the device path (21eda37a).
* `detect()` gets an honest non-Linux arm, the operator pin gated with it — naming a Wayland
  compositor on Windows could never be honoured either.
* The handler reports `compositor: "windows"` instead of null-plus-a-Linux-error.

ON GLASS (.173, host 0.21.0, TV attached):

    connector=\\.\DISPLAY1  enabled=true  managed=false  primary=true
    3840x2160 @165Hz  pos=(0,0)  "LG TV SSCR2"

Pinned by an `#[ignore]`d hardware case that asserts at least one NON-managed head is visible —
the exact thing that was missing. Read-only, so it is safe against a live host.

This also gives `capture_monitor` a picker on Windows, where the handler currently hardcodes
`pinned: None`; wiring that is left for the per-monitor-capture work rather than smuggled in here.

Verified on .173: `clippy -p punktfunk-host -p pf-vdisplay -p pf-win-display --all-targets
-- -D warnings` clean; both xcheck targets clean.
2026-07-29 00:18:27 +02:00
enricobuehler 21eda37aa3 fix(win-display): punktfunk's own display is not one of the operator's panels
The IddCx driver declares `DISPLAYCONFIG_OUTPUT_TECHNOLOGY_HDMI` for its monitors
(`packaging/windows/drivers/pf-vdisplay/src/monitor.rs`, `IDDCX_MONITOR_INFO::MonitorType`),
and `output_tech_class`'s allowlist reads HDMI as a real external panel. So every consumer of
`target_inventory` counted OUR OWN virtual display among the operator's physical monitors.
Measured on .173: both targets came back `external_physical`, `[(4352, "LG TV SSCR2", HDMI),
(257, "punktfunk", HDMI)]`.

That is not cosmetic. `restore_displays_ccd` ends with the last-resort guarantee that the desk
is never left all-dark:

    let (connected, lit) = target_inventory().filter(external_physical) …
    if connected > 0 && lit == 0 { force_extend_topology() }

The restore runs BEFORE the virtual is REMOVEd, so our own still-active display kept `lit >= 1`
and the backstop could NEVER fire — in exactly the situation it was written for. It also made
our display a candidate "physical suspect" in the disturbance-attribution inventory, which
`TargetInventory`'s own doc rules out ("only indirect/virtual targets (our own IDD included)").

Targets carrying our EDID manufacturer id ("PNK", stamped by the driver's edid.rs) are now
classified `external_physical = false`, tech `punktfunk-virtual`. Matching on the monitor device
path rather than the friendly name — the path carries the manufacturer id the OS itself derived
— and on both spellings, since the CCD device-interface path uses `#`
(`\\?\DISPLAY#PNK0000#…`) while the PnP instance id for the same monitor uses `\`
(`DISPLAY\PNK0000\1&15ecd195&5&UID264`, observed on .173). Allowlist-shaped like
`output_tech_class`, so a third-party virtual display is never silently adopted.

ON GLASS, read-only, on .173 — and it caught the backstop's trigger live:

  target  264  active=true  external_physical=false tech=punktfunk-virtual "punktfunk"
  target 4352  active=false external_physical=true  tech=HDMI              "LG TV SSCR2"

The physical is dark while our virtual holds the desktop. Post-fix that is `connected=1, lit=0`
— the backstop fires. Pre-fix it was `connected=2, lit=1` — suppressed. The new hardware case is
deliberately READ-ONLY (creates and destroys nothing) so it is safe against a live host;
repeated IddCx create/destroy churn is what wedges the driver's slot pool.

Also adds `manager::FAIL_NEXT_ISOLATES`, a `#[cfg(test)]` seam that fails the next N
`isolate_displays_ccd` calls, with every call site in manager.rs routed through it. The Phase-3
recovery legs fire only on a failed isolate, which real hardware does not produce, so they
cannot otherwise be exercised. `#[cfg(test)]` rather than an env knob: this crate's live tests
compile under `cfg(test)`, so no production switch exists that could disable display isolation
on an operator's box. The §5 3.2 case built on it is included but is NOT yet a passing on-glass
result — see the plan for where it got to.

Verified on .173: clippy -p punktfunk-host -p pf-vdisplay --all-targets and -p pf-win-display
--all-targets clean; pf-vdisplay 56 pass, pf-win-display 2 pass + hardware cases; both xcheck
targets clean.
2026-07-28 22:17:26 +02:00
enricobuehler 2b2c6f045d test(vdisplay): pin the force-EXTEND backstop on glass, with a real panel attached
`force_extend_topology` does two jobs — stop a fresh IddCx monitor being CLONED onto the
existing panel, and serve as `restore_displays_ccd`'s last-resort "the desk is not left
dark" backstop. Probed directly on .173 with only the LG TV connected, its preset returns
rc=31 ERROR_GEN_FAILURE while SDC_USE_DATABASE_CURRENT returns 0, which reads like a
backstop that cannot back anything up.

On glass it is not, and this case is the measurement that settled it. Active paths went
1 -> (virtual up) 1 -> (after force-EXTEND) 2: with one connected display there is nothing
to extend across, hence rc=31; with the virtual present there are two and the preset
applies. Both real call sites run in exactly that state — the restore fires BEFORE the
REMOVE, so the virtual is still there. No defect. Recording it so nobody re-derives the
alarming half from the rc alone.

 It also caught the clone hazard live: the arriving virtual monitor did NOT get its own
active path (1 -> 1); only the forced EXTEND gave it one (-> 2). That is exactly the
"no distinct source -> no frames" case the function's own doc describes, observed rather
than assumed.

⚠️ Residual, noted not asserted: a restore that fails once the virtual is already gone is
back to one connected display, where EXTEND returns 31 and cannot re-light anything.

Context for the sweep's other on-glass claims: the earlier `live_create_drop` and
`live_inplace_resize` passes on this box were taken with the TV POWERED OFF (every monitor
devnode Code 45), so they proved the driver round trip but never exercised deactivating a
real panel. Re-run now with the TV attached, `live_inplace_resize` still reports
in_place=true (target 257 -> 257, 2356x1332), so Phase 6.2 holds with a physical present.

Verified on .173: clippy -p punktfunk-host -p pf-vdisplay --all-targets and
-p pf-win-display --all-targets clean, 56 pass + 3 ignored, no orphans.
2026-07-28 22:17:26 +02:00
enricobuehler 5a14d2b3f4 fix(vdisplay): the helper budget must end the tree, not just the process we spawned
`Child::kill` is one `TerminateProcess`: it ends exactly the process we launched. On Unix
that is the whole story here — `kscreen-doctor`, `systemctl`, `pw-dump` are single processes
we exec directly. On Windows there is no direct exec, so every helper is reached through a
shell (`cmd /c …`, `powershell -Command "… | pnputil …"`) and the process that actually
hangs is a GRANDCHILD. Killing the shell left it running, holding the stdio handles and the
working directory it inherited from us, which means the budget bounded nothing.

Not theoretical: it is why a fully green `cargo test -p pf-vdisplay` still failed its CI job
on `33a31427`. The suite's own hung-helper case orphaned a 60-second `ping.exe`; it kept the
build step's stdout pipe open past the runner's 10 s WaitDelay ("exec: WaitDelay expired
before I/O complete") and pinned `crates\pf-vdisplay` so the workspace could not be cleaned
up. The tests reported `55 passed; 0 failed` in the same log.

Spawned children are now enrolled in a Job object. Job membership is inherited across
`CreateProcess`, so one `TerminateJobObject` ends every descendant, and
`JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE` makes that hold on paths that never reach the explicit
call — an early `?`, a panic — because closing the last handle is then itself the kill.
Best-effort: a box that cannot make a job object degrades to the single-process kill it did
before rather than failing the query, the same stance as the already-ignored `Child::kill`.

`output_within` ends the tree BEFORE `wait_with_output`. That read runs to EOF, and a
grandchild outliving the helper holds the write end — the one way this "bounded" helper
could still hang forever.

The new test is the permanent lever, and it is not vacuous: it asserts the grandchild
reached its first marker before asserting it never reached its second. Verified on .173
(Win11 26200): 56 pass, `clippy -p punktfunk-host -p pf-vdisplay --all-targets` clean, no
`ping.exe` survivors. A/B with the job disabled: the test fails with "a grandchild outlived
the budget" and one orphan survives. On the CI runner .133 the job APIs were also checked
directly, as Administrator (already inside a job — nesting works) and as SYSTEM: both kill
the tree.

Trap for anyone editing that test: a .cmd file is read in the OEM code page, so an absolute
path baked into it is mangled the moment the temp dir holds a non-ASCII character
(`C:\Users\Enrico Bühler\…` arrives as `B?hler`) and every redirect fails with "path not
found". It uses `%~dp0` instead, so the file stays pure ASCII.

enricobuehler 5219107177 chore(unsafe): the workspace adopts the drivers' unsafe discipline
`packaging/windows/drivers/*` has run `deny(unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn)` +
`deny(clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks)` for a while, with `forbid(unsafe_code)`
on the modules that need no unsafe at all. The main workspace had no lint config
whatsoever, so nothing stopped a clean crate from quietly growing an `unsafe`, and
nothing distinguished the handful of genuinely-unsafe lines inside a 600-line
`unsafe fn` from the safe ones surrounding them.

Three things, all mechanical:

* `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` on the eight crates that already contain zero unsafe
  (`pf-driver-proto`, `pf-host-config`, `pf-paths`, the three clean clients, both
  tools). These were clean by accident, not by contract; now they are clean by
  contract.

* `unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn = "warn"` workspace-wide. `unsafe fn` states a contract
  the CALLER must uphold — it was never meant to switch off checking for the whole
  body. Measured fallout is 300 sites on Linux, and they are concentrated: six
  files carry all of them, while `punktfunk-core`, `pf-frame`, `pf-clipboard` and
  `pf-vdisplay` are already at zero. `warn` (not `deny`) so the build stays green
  while those six are worked down; it flips to `deny` once they are. This is also
  the Rust 2024 default, so it pays off the edition migration early.

* `proc::current_uid()` replaces eight `unsafe { libc::getuid() }` blocks. Each
  site had copied out the same SAFETY note verbatim, which is the tell: `getuid()`
  is parameterless, always succeeds and touches no memory, so there is no contract
  for a caller to uphold and no reason for the unsafe to be visible eight times.
  One `unsafe` behind a safe wrapper, none at the call sites.

Verified: `pf-vdisplay` builds clean on Linux (Nobara) at zero E0133; the
macOS-buildable crates build clean locally. No behaviour change.

Phase 7's contained half. 7.1's writer split and 7.3's reservation are NOT here — see
the plan; both need more than a local edit.

**Lock-order inversion, gamescope.** `create_managed_session_steamos` held
MANAGED_SESSION while taking STEAMOS_TOOK_OVER (and `persist_takeover`'s locks), while
`do_restore_tv_session` takes STEAMOS_TOOK_OVER first and MANAGED_SESSION second —
AB/BA between a connect and the restore worker, which genuinely run concurrently
(`vd.create` runs off the registry lock; the worker is its own thread). The connect
path now drops its guard before the pair and re-acquires after `poll_managed_node`, the
shape `create_managed_session` already used. And `takeover_live` held all four statics
at once — in a `||` chain every `.lock()` temporary lives to the end of the statement —
for four reads; scoped bindings drop each guard before the next, taking it out of the
ordering graph entirely.

**`observe_session_instance` decided and acted under one lock.** It held LAST_INSTANCE
across `invalidate_backend` (which drops keep-alive displays through the registry lock)
and a `systemctl` shell-out on a 10 s budget, from three call sites including a
per-second watcher. It decides under the lock and acts outside now; the baseline is
advanced inside it, so a concurrent observer cannot run the action twice.

**`admit` held the live-session table across the budget checks** — `manager::snapshot()`
blocks on the manager `state` lock, which is itself held across DDC round trips and
three 3 s activation ladders. Every connect, disconnect and mgmt read queued behind one
slow display operation. The guard is scoped to `decide` alone.

**GameStream never registered**, so its display was invisible to both Windows budgets
(they gate on `!live.is_empty()`) and a native connect could be admitted past capacity
the box had already spent. It registers now, anonymously, for the session's lifetime.

**`ensure_exclusive_watch` panicked on a failed thread spawn** while holding BOTH
`exclusive_watch` and (via its caller) `state` — poisoning the two locks the whole
manager runs on, so every later acquire and mgmt read would panic on `.lock().unwrap()`.
It logs and degrades instead: no re-assert watchdog is a degradation, a wedged manager
is not.

Also fixes two things only a Windows build shows, both mine: Phase 2.3 left
`gamescope_route` unused there (every reader is Linux-gated), which `-D warnings` in
Windows CI would have rejected — I had only run the host clippy on Linux. And Phase
5.4's helper-safening reaches a FOURTH crate, pf-inject, which xcheck does not lint.

Verified on .173: `cargo clippy -p punktfunk-host -p pf-vdisplay --all-targets` clean
across the whole tree; local fmt, both xcheck targets and 53 tests green.

enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 093c66cb1a fix(vdisplay/windows): a failed resize left a phantom monitor, and a refresh-only one silently didn't happen
Three defects in the mid-stream resize path.

**A failed re-arrival put a DEAD monitor back in the slot.** `re_add` REMOVEs the old
driver monitor before it ADDs the new one, so its only fallible step past that point
means the old monitor is gone — yet the caller answered an `Err` by re-inserting the
`Monitor` struct it had handed in, complete with a dead `key`, a departed `target_id`
and a stale `gdi_name`. Every later `acquire` then joined a monitor that did not exist.

It now rolls back: on ADD failure it re-ADDs at the OLD mode, so the session keeps
streaming what it already had. The outcome is a three-way `ReAdd` enum because the
distinction matters and a `Result` cannot carry it — `Arrived` stores the new monitor,
`RolledBack` stores the RECOVERED one (a re-arrival mints a fresh `target_id`, so the
struct the caller handed in is stale either way), and `Lost` means both ADDs failed and
the slot must be left EMPTY so the next acquire creates a monitor rather than joining a
phantom.

**A refresh-only change reported success at the old refresh.** `wait_mode_advertised`
compared resolution only, so a same-WxH new-Hz request answered "already advertised":
the fast path skipped the `IOCTL_UPDATE_MODES` that would have taught the driver the new
rate, `set_active_mode` fell back to the best advertised rate <= requested, and the
resize returned Ok. It matches `dmDisplayFrequency` now, so an unadvertised refresh
routes to UPDATE_MODES / the re-arrival instead.

And `mon.mode = mode` recorded what was ASKED FOR. `set_active_mode` deliberately falls
back to a lower advertised refresh rather than lose the client's resolution, so the
field could claim a rate the display was not running — and it is what the next resize
diffs against and what `/display/state` reports. It records what actually committed now,
read back via the new `active_mode` (`active_resolution` delegates to it), and logs when
the two differ. Deliberately NOT done by tightening `wait_mode_settled`: that gates the
re-arrival fallback, so requiring an exact refresh there would force a full re-arrival
every time the OS legitimately picked a lower rate.

**A short IOCTL_ADD reply leaked an IddCx slot.** The IOCTL had SUCCEEDED — the driver
already created the monitor and took a slot; only the reply was short — and the bail
undid none of it. The slot pool is small enough that ~16 leaks wedge every later ADD at
0x80070490, which is the wedge the ghost-reap in this same function exists to recover
from. It now issues the compensating REMOVE with the session id already in scope, and
says so at error level if that fails too.

Windows runner: clippy --all-targets clean, pf-vdisplay 55 passed, pf-capture 18 passed.
