Split the docs' single distro×desktop axis (ubuntu-gnome / ubuntu-kde / fedora-kde) into two,
which deduplicates the shared mechanics and scales to distros that run several desktops (Arch):
- Install the host — per distro/OS (ubuntu, fedora, arch, bazzite, steamos-host, windows-host):
GPU driver + package + input group, then a canonical "Configure your desktop" funnel.
- Configure your desktop — per compositor (kde, gnome, gamescope, sway): host.env, compositor
quirks, the headless session, and starting the host.
New shared web-console page (enable · login password · arm pairing) removes the console/password
block that was copy-pasted across all seven host pages. Merged ubuntu-gnome + ubuntu-kde into
ubuntu; renamed fedora-kde to fedora; kept bazzite and steamos-host as dedicated appliance guides
(trimmed of duplication). Moved the KWin headless session, the GNOME EGL/lock traps, and the
gamescope attach/managed model out of the distro pages onto their compositor pages.
Fixed while restructuring: distro-specific paths on kde (kde-desktop-setup.sh is Fedora/Bazzite-only;
the .deb ships host.env.kde under /usr/share/punktfunk-host), the interactive "start the host" step
that was lost in the merge, sway over-claiming Hyprland, and a pre-existing broken anchor in
how-it-works.
Removal of the three old pages was captured by the preceding commit b28ddfc (a concurrent commit
swept up the staged git-rm); the net docs tree is correct. Fumadocs build + internal link/anchor
check green.

The native data plane used a random ephemeral UDP port (hole-punched), which a
strict firewall can't pre-open — so remote clients behind one couldn't connect.
Add an optional fixed data port:
- `Punktfunk1Options`/`NativeServe` gain `data_port`; `bind_data_socket` binds the
fixed port (→ direct, no hole-punch) or falls back to a random port + hole-punch
when unset or the fixed port is busy (a concurrent session already holds it).
- `UdpTransport::from_socket`/`from_socket_punch` adopt an already-bound socket, so
the host keeps the SAME data socket from handshake through streaming — no
drop-then-rebind window in which a concurrent session could steal a fixed port.
- `main.rs` wires the CLI flag through to `NativeServe`.
- Firewall docs updated (troubleshooting.md + apt/pacman/bazzite READMEs): control
plane is the fixed UDP 9777; the data plane is a separate random port that usually
needs no rule, with the fixed-port option for strict firewalls.
Unit-tested: default random+hole-punch, and fixed-port-then-fallback-when-busy.

The OS floor is now enforced at install time (MinVersion=10.0.22621 with an
explanatory [Messages] override): pf-vdisplay is built against IddCx 1.10, and
on Windows 10 (incl. LTSC) / Win11 21H2 the device fails start with Code 10
STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE (field-reported). Docs (site requirements/install/
windows-host pages + README) state the floor; new docs-site Security page.
Installer also gains the trayicon task (punktfunk-tray.exe file + HKLM Run key,
post-install launch as the signed-in user, upgrade taskkill + uninstall
--quit/taskkill choreography before file deletion), and the wizard/cleanup
text/port sweeps move off the stale :3000 web-console references to :47992
(cleanups sweep both for upgrades from old installs).

Adds a client-selectable **preferred codec** and wires the core + ABI + probe + Linux client to
negotiate and decode it. (Windows/Apple/Android follow in 2b.)
**Core:**
- `Hello.preferred_codec` (a single CODEC_* bit, 0 = auto) — a soft hint appended after
`video_codecs`. `resolve_codec(client, host, preferred)` now honors the preference when the host
can also emit it, else falls back to precedence (HEVC > AV1 > H.264). Roundtrip + preference tests.
- `NativeClient::connect` takes `video_codecs` + `preferred_codec`; `NativeClient.codec` exposes the
resolved `Welcome.codec`.
- ABI: `punktfunk_connect_ex7` (adds the two codec params; `ex6` delegates to it advertising
HEVC-only) + `punktfunk_connection_codec` getter + `PUNKTFUNK_CODEC_{H264,HEVC,AV1}` constants
(drift-guarded against the wire values). Header regenerated.
**Host:** passes `hello.preferred_codec` into `resolve_codec`.
**probe:** `--codec h264|hevc|av1|auto` sets the preference (still advertises it can decode all
three); the dump extension already follows the resolved codec.
**Linux client:** advertises the codecs FFmpeg can actually decode (`decodable_codecs()`), threads
the user's `codec` setting as the preference, and builds the decoder — both the software and VAAPI
paths, plus the mid-session VAAPI→software demotion — from the negotiated `Welcome.codec` instead of
hardcoding HEVC. New "Video codec" dropdown in Preferences (Automatic/HEVC/H.264/AV1).
Live-validated on the dev box: probe `--codec hevc` against a software (H.264-only) host resolves to
H.264 (graceful soft-preference fallback), no failure. clippy + core (57) + host (133) tests green.

Follows the security audit (#5/#9): the GameStream-compat plane carries inherent on-path weaknesses
that can't be fixed on the wire without breaking stock Moonlight — its pairing runs over plain HTTP
(#9, MITM-able during the pairing window) and its legacy control encryption can reuse GCM nonces (#5,
a passive eavesdropper can recover/forge input). The native punktfunk/1 plane (SPAKE2 PIN pairing +
per-direction AEAD nonces) has neither. So flip the default to secure-by-default:
- `serve` → native punktfunk/1 plane + management API ONLY (no GameStream surface).
- `serve --gamestream` → ALSO the GameStream/Moonlight-compat planes (nvhttp pairing, RTSP, ENet
control, _nvstream mDNS). Opt-in, logged with a trusted-LAN caveat. `--moonlight` is an alias.
- The native plane is now ALWAYS on in `serve` (`--native` is a kept-for-compat no-op); the unified
GameStream+native host is `serve --gamestream`.
`gamestream::serve` gates the GameStream spawns (nvhttp/rtsp/control/mdns) on the flag; the native
plane + mgmt + native-pairing handle always run.
To avoid silently regressing validated Moonlight deployments, the explicit deployment configs PRESERVE
Moonlight via `--gamestream` (each documents dropping it for a secure native-only host): the Linux
systemd unit, the Steam Deck installer, and the Windows service default (DEFAULT_HOST_CMD). The bare
`serve` default (new/manual use) is secure.
Docs swept to match (host-cli, moonlight, quickstart, install, packaging READMEs, CLAUDE.md, README,
…): Moonlight setup now instructs `--gamestream`; native/console refs use bare `serve`. OpenAPI
regenerated (a stale "run `serve --native`" string). fmt + clippy clean; 94 host tests green.

Refresh the README and documentation for public visitors:
- README: public-facing rewrite with accurate status for all four native
clients (macOS, Linux, Windows, Android) and the Windows host.
- docs site: fix stale client status (Android is a full client, not a
scaffold; Windows client is stage-1 complete + signed MSIX), add the
missing Android client section, correct "which client" guidance.
- Windows host: corrected from "deferred/scoped" to implemented & shipping
(NVIDIA-only, x64-only) across windows-host, roadmap, status,
requirements, running-as-a-service, and the README.
- Remove internal infrastructure from public docs (box names, private IPs,
SSH/token commands, deploy topology); rewrite status.md as a public
project-status page; sanitize ci.md and implementation-plan.md.
- Update clients/android and clients/apple READMEs to current state.

Make the host docs match the real distribution path and the actual CLI. Reviewed by a
multi-agent pass (6 editors against one verified fact sheet + an accuracy reviewer); its
findings (a wrong client-Recommends claim, a native-concurrency overstatement) folded in.
- Install front door: new README "Install (host)" method-picker + docs-site/install.md
(+ nav), routing each distro to its package registry; source build demoted to a fallback.
- Registry-first install: ubuntu-gnome/ubuntu-kde now lead with the apt registry (not a
cargo build); bazzite leads with the Gitea RPM registry (was COPR/source). Source builds
moved to an appendix.
- CLI accuracy: serve --native arms pairing from the web console (NOT --allow-pairing, which
with --require-pairing/--max-concurrent is m3-host-only); --open disables mandatory pairing.
host-cli/configuration/pairing/quickstart/troubleshooting corrected; mgmt API documented as
always HTTPS+token. Native host serves one session at a time (extras queue) — not multi.
- Firewall: real ports documented (native UDP 9777 + the ephemeral data port caveat +
GameStream ports) for Debian + Arch (ufw + nftables), not just Bazzite.
- Sync/accuracy: punktfunk-client (GTK4) presented as a shipping client (not "roadmap"),
punktfunk-client-rs as the headless tool; host Recommends punktfunk-web only (not the
client); COPR chroots f43/44; bootc header says Gitea registry not COPR.

Replace the dev/agent-log pages with a proper user-facing doc set:
- Getting Started: Introduction (rewritten), How It Works, Quick Start.
- Host Setup: Requirements, then clean per-platform guides — Ubuntu GNOME,
Ubuntu KDE, Fedora KDE (new), Bazzite (rewritten) — plus Running as a Service
(desktop / headless GNOME / headless KDE).
- Connecting: Clients overview, Moonlight, Pairing & Trust.
- Configuration: host.env reference, Host CLI, Troubleshooting.
- The dev/design notes (architecture, roadmap, the deferred design specs, CI)
move to a clearly-separated "Project & Internals" nav section.
Removes the superseded box-specific pages (gnome-box, headless-box, linux-setup,
overview). status.md (the internal progress tracker, with box IPs) is kept as a
file but dropped from the public nav. Site builds clean.
