feat(web,host/windows): move the web console off :3000 to :47992

Port 3000 collides with half the dev-server ecosystem; 47992 sits next
to the mgmt API (47990) in the punktfunk port family. Updates the run
scripts, systemd/scheduled-task units, Dockerfile, Windows firewall
rule + installer, packaging, and every doc that referenced :3000.

+    # general, INCLUDING signing (m^d mod n), which the host DOES perform (gamestream/pairing.rs
+    # `signing_key.sign(&serversecret)`). It is NOT, as an earlier version of this note wrongly claimed,
+    # limited to decryption — so "the vulnerable path isn't exercised" is false; signing exercises it.
+    # We accept it because the attack is not practically reachable here, NOT because the path is unused:
+    #   * No RSA decryption / PKCS#1v1.5 padding oracle exists anywhere (every `decrypt` in the tree is
+    #     AES/AES-GCM), so the classic Bleichenbacher/Marvin chosen-ciphertext oracle is absent.
+    #   * The only signed message (`serversecret`) is HOST-generated random, never attacker-chosen — so
+    #     there's no adaptive chosen-input probing (the lever remote RSA-timing key recovery needs); and
+    #     signing is gated behind the operator-entered pairing PIN, ONE signature per ceremony (a
+    #     repeated phase-3 is rejected — gamestream/pairing.rs — to deny a passive timing-sample harvester).
+    #   * GameStream is OFF by default (bare `serve` is native-only); the secure native QUIC plane uses
+    #     rustls' constant-time backend, NOT the rsa crate. RSA is touched only on the opt-in,
+    #     trusted-LAN GameStream/Moonlight pairing handshake. Moonlight mandates RSA-2048, so the
+    #     GameStream identity cannot move to Ed25519/ECDSA (only the native identity could, and it
+    #     already avoids the rsa crate).
+    # There is NO fixed rsa release (the constant-time rewrite is still unreleased upstream). Revisit if:
+    # a constant-time rsa ships (then drop this), the host ever signs an attacker-chosen message with
+    # this key, or any RSA decryption / key-transport using the private key is added.

+  keyboard layout: the SYSTEM service thread's layout re-reads positions as characters — the
+  German y↔z / ö→ü scramble), while GameStream/Moonlight VKs are layout-semantic
+  (`KEY_FLAG_SEMANTIC_VK`, resolved under the foreground app's layout, Sunshine's model). Linux
+  renders positions under the session compositor's layout (libei) or the virtual keyboard's
+  uploaded keymap (Sway/wlroots — honors `XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT` et al., default US); the Android
+  client reads `KeyEvent.scanCode` first so a user-selected physical-keyboard layout can't
+  re-map keycodes semantically. Ships as a **signed

+  `windows-host.yml`. **Encoder is GPU-aware** (`encode.rs` `open_video` + `windows_resolved_backend`):
+  `PUNKTFUNK_ENCODER=auto` (the host.env default) reads the **selected render adapter's** vendor →
+  **NVENC** (NVIDIA, direct SDK, `encode/windows/nvenc.rs`), **AMF** (AMD) / **QSV** (Intel) via libavcodec
+  (`encode/windows/ffmpeg_win.rs`, the Windows analogue of the Linux VAAPI backend — `WinVendor{Amf,Qsv}`,
+  system-memory NV12/P010 readback default + opt-in zero-copy D3D11 behind `PUNKTFUNK_ZEROCOPY` with a
+  system fallback), or software H.264 (`encode/sw.rs`, GPU-less). GameStream codec advertisement is
+  probed per-GPU on AMF/QSV (`windows_codec_support` → `serverinfo`, AV1 gated; cached per selected
+  GPU). **Multi-GPU is first-class** (`gpu.rs`): GPU inventory + a persisted auto/manual preference
+  (`<config>/gpu-settings.json`, stored by stable PCI identity — LUIDs are per-boot) exposed over
+  `GET /api/v1/gpus` + `PUT /api/v1/gpus/preference` and a web-console GPU card (Host page: list,
+  Automatic/Prefer, "In use · backend" badge). One selection — precedence **console preference >
+  `PUNKTFUNK_RENDER_ADAPTER` > max VRAM**, graceful fallback when the preferred GPU is absent —
+  feeds `win_adapter::resolve_render_adapter_luid` (capture ring + IddCx render pin), the encoder
+  vendor auto-detect (previously DXGI adapter 0 — wrong on hybrid boxes like NVIDIA dGPU + Intel
+  Arc iGPU), and the NVENC 4:4:4 probe; a preference change applies to the next session. On Linux a
+  matched manual preference picks the VAAPI render node / NVENC-vs-VAAPI auto choice (auto mode
+  unchanged). *Implemented + unit-tested; not yet on-glass validated on the hybrid box.* **HDR (10-bit)**: WGC
+  captures the HDR desktop as FP16/Rgb10a2 (DDA FP16 for the secure desktop), the encoder forces HEVC
+  Main10 + BT.2020 PQ (NVENC ABGR10/P010; AMF/QSV P010 + a swscale Rgb10a2→P010 fallback), the client
+  auto-detects PQ from the HEVC VUI — gated by `PUNKTFUNK_10BIT` + client `VIDEO_CAP_10BIT`; **Windows
+  host only** (the Linux host stays 8-bit, blocked upstream). **Vulkan-game HDR over the virtual
+  display**: NVIDIA/AMD Vulkan ICDs refuse to *advertise* an HDR color space for a surface on an IddCx
+  indirect display (so Vulkan games — Doom: The Dark Ages, id Tech, etc. — say "device does not support
+  HDR"), even though the ICD happily *accepts + presents* a forced HDR swapchain there. A tiny always-on

+## Licensing of contributions (inbound = outbound)
+
+punktfunk is dual-licensed under **MIT OR Apache-2.0**.
+
+> Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in
+> the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as **MIT OR
+> Apache-2.0**, without any additional terms or conditions.
+
+By opening a pull request you agree to license your contribution under these terms. This is the
+standard Rust-ecosystem "inbound = outbound" model; it keeps the project's licensing unambiguous
+(including the Apache-2.0 §5 contributor patent grant) and any future relicensing clean. You retain
+the copyright to your contributions.
+
+### Do not paste copyleft (or otherwise incompatibly-licensed) code
+
+The single thing that could poison the permissive license is **copied source from a copyleft
+project**. Several adjacent projects (Sunshine, Apollo, Moonlight) are GPL-3.0. You may study them
+and reimplement a *technique*, protocol, or wire format — those are not copyrightable — but **never
+paste their code**, and do not translate a GPL implementation line-by-line. When a comment credits
+prior art, make clear it is an independent reimplementation, not a copy. The same applies to any
+third party's code under a license incompatible with MIT/Apache.
+
+If you add a new third-party dependency, it must be permissive (MIT / Apache-2.0 / BSD / ISC / Zlib /
+Unicode-3.0 / etc.). `about.toml` holds the accepted-license allow-list; regenerate the attribution
+file with `scripts/gen-third-party-notices.sh` when the dependency tree changes.
+
+## Before you push
+
+```sh
+cargo fmt --all --check
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
+cargo test  --workspace
+```
+
+Generated artifacts are checked in and CI fails on drift: `include/punktfunk_core.h` (cbindgen) and
+`api/openapi.json` (`cargo run -p punktfunk-host -- openapi`). Match the surrounding code's comment
+density and naming. Commit messages end with the `Co-Authored-By` trailer (see `git log`).

-# punktfunk Android client
+# punktfunk — Android client (phone & TV)
 
-Native Android client for **punktfunk/1**, targeting **phone + TV** (Compose, D-pad + touch).
+The native **Android** app for streaming a punktfunk host to your phone, tablet, or Android TV. A
+Compose app that finds hosts on your network, pairs with a PIN, and streams at the display's own
+resolution — with hardware HEVC decode, HDR10, and controller support, built for both touch and the
+couch (D-pad / gamepad focus navigation).
 
-## Architecture — Rust-heavy (like the Linux client, not thin-native like Apple)
+## Features
 
-Kotlin cannot `import` the cbindgen C header the way Swift can, so a native bridge is unavoidable.
-We write it in **Rust** and link `punktfunk-core` directly — so the Android client reuses the Linux
+- **Hardware decode** — NDK `AMediaCodec` HEVC → `SurfaceView`, including **HDR10** (Main10 /
+  BT.2020 PQ), with low-latency tuning and a live stats HUD.
+- **Audio both ways** — Opus + AAudio playback with a jitter ring, plus mic uplink to the host.
+- **Controller support** — buttons + axes with rumble and HID feedback (lightbar / adaptive
+  triggers); D-pad / gamepad focus navigation for TV and phone.
+- **Find hosts automatically** — native mDNS discovery; first connect does a one-time **SPAKE2 PIN
+  pairing** (or TOFU on trusted LANs), then reconnects on a Keystore-wrapped, pinned identity.
+- **Compose UI** — Connect / Settings / Stream screens with Material You theming.
+
+Built for `arm64-v8a` + `x86_64`.
+
+## Get it
+
+Published to **Google Play (Internal Testing)** — join the beta via the
+[Discord](https://discord.gg/kaPNvzMuGU). Per-device setup and pairing:
+**[docs.punktfunk.unom.io/docs/install-client](https://docs.punktfunk.unom.io/docs/install-client)**.
+
+## How it's built — Rust-heavy
+
+Kotlin can't `import` the cbindgen C header the way Swift can, so a native bridge is unavoidable. We
+write it in **Rust** and link `punktfunk-core` directly — so the Android client reuses the Linux
 client's orchestration (audio jitter ring, VK keymap inverse, latency/skew math, capture state
 machine, trust logic) instead of re-porting it into Kotlin.

-A working native client (phone + Android TV), at parity with the Linux and Apple apps for the core
-streaming experience:
-
-- **Video** — `AMediaCodec` hardware HEVC decode → `SurfaceView`, including **HDR10** (Main10 /
-  BT.2020 PQ), with low-latency decode tuning and a live stats HUD.
-- **Audio** — Opus + Oboe playback with a jitter ring, plus mic uplink to the host.
-- **Input** — game controllers (buttons + axes) with rumble and HID feedback; D-pad /
-  game-controller focus navigation for the couch (TV + phone).
-- **Discovery & trust** — `NsdManager` mDNS host list, SPAKE2 PIN pairing and TOFU, with a
-  Keystore-wrapped client identity and a known-host store.
-- **UI** — Compose host list / settings / stream screens, Material You theming.
-- **Shipping** — built for `arm64-v8a` + `x86_64`; published to Google Play (Internal Testing).
-
-`crates/punktfunk-core` uses the `ring` `rcgen` backend so the client `.so` is aws-lc-free.

+//! resolve/remove events into a shared map; Kotlin polls `nativeDiscoveryPoll` ~1 Hz for a

-# punktfunk Apple client (SwiftUI)
+# punktfunk — Apple client (macOS · iOS · iPadOS · tvOS)
 
-The native macOS/iOS client for **`punktfunk/1`** (the post-GameStream protocol). All
-networking/protocol work — QUIC control plane, UDP data plane, GF(2¹⁶) FEC, AES-GCM,
-input datagrams, Opus audio, cert pinning — lives in the shared Rust core (statically
-linked as `PunktfunkCore.xcframework`); this package is the Swift shell: decode
-(VideoToolbox), present (SwiftUI), input capture.
+The native **Apple** app for streaming a punktfunk host to your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. A
+SwiftUI app that finds hosts on your network, pairs with a PIN, and streams at your display's own
+resolution and refresh rate — with VideoToolbox hardware decode and full controller support.
 
-## Status — working client (macOS, with iOS / tvOS in the shared build)
+All the networking and protocol work — QUIC control plane, UDP data plane, GF(2¹⁶) FEC, AES-GCM,
+Opus audio, cert pinning — lives in the shared Rust **`punktfunk-core`** (statically linked as
+`PunktfunkCore.xcframework`). This package is the Swift shell: decode, present, input, and UI.
 
-A full streaming client: VideoToolbox HEVC decode, controllers incl. DualSense feedback, host
-discovery, PIN pairing, and a network speed test. The lower-latency **stage-2 presenter**
-(`VTDecompressionSession` → `CAMetalLayer`) is built and opt-in (Settings → Presenter); see below.
+## Features
 
-First light was achieved 2026-06-10 — validated live, Mac ↔ a Linux host over the LAN: gamescope
-virtual output → NVENC HEVC →
-`punktfunk/1` (GF(2¹⁶) FEC + AES-GCM over UDP, QUIC control) → VideoToolbox →
-`AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer` on glass at 1280×720@60, with mouse/keyboard flowing back as
-QUIC datagrams into the host's gamescope EIS injector (thousands of events injected during
-the session). Headless variant of the same proof: `RemoteFirstLightTests` decoded 60/60
-received AUs spanning 983 ms of host capture clock.
+- **Hardware decode** — VideoToolbox HEVC, with a low-latency **stage-2 presenter**
+  (`VTDecompressionSession` → `CAMetalLayer`, presented off a `CADisplayLink`, ~11 ms p50) as the
+  default and an `AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer` fallback.
+- **HDR & 4:4:4** — PQ passthrough with a correct reference-white anchor, mid-session SDR↔HDR
+  reconfiguration, and hardware-probed 4:4:4 support.
+- **Your display's native mode** — the host builds a virtual output at exactly your WxH@Hz;
+  mid-stream resize renegotiates without reconnecting.
+- **Audio both ways** — Opus playback (CoreAudio, no bundled libopus) with a jitter ring, plus mic
+  uplink; speaker/mic selectable in Settings.
+- **Full controller support** — one selected controller forwarded as pad 0, including **DualSense**
+  feedback (rumble → CoreHaptics, lightbar, player LEDs, adaptive triggers) and touchpad/motion. The
+  virtual pad type auto-resolves from your physical controller.
+- **Mouse & keyboard** — `GCMouse`/`GCKeyboard` capture with click-to-capture and a ⌘⎋ release, plus
+  iPad pointer lock and touch input.
+- **Find hosts automatically** — mDNS discovery (`NWBrowser` over `_punktfunk._udp`); first connect
+  does a one-time **SPAKE2 PIN pairing** (or TOFU on trusted LANs), then reconnects on a pinned,
+  Keychain-stored identity.
+- **Tune the stream** — a fps / Mb·s / **latency** HUD (skew-corrected across machines), a bitrate
+  control, a per-host **network speed test** with a recommended bitrate, and a host-compositor picker.
 
-The connector underneath (`punktfunk_core::client::NativeClient` over the C ABI) carries the
-full session: video AUs, **Opus audio** (`nextAudio()`), **rumble** (`nextRumble()`),
-**DualSense feedback** (`nextHidOutput()` — lightbar, player LEDs, adaptive-trigger
-effects), input incl. gamepads + DualSense touchpad/motion (`sendTouchpad`/`sendMotion`),
-and **cert pinning + TOFU** (`pinSHA256:`/`hostFingerprint`) — see
-`punktfunk1.rs::tests::c_abi_connection_roundtrip` (three sequential sessions: TOFU, pinned
-reconnect, wrong-pin rejection). The host (`punktfunk-host punktfunk1-host`) is a persistent listener:
-reconnect at will during development.
+Runs from one shared codebase across **macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS**.
 
-What's here, all compiled and tested on macOS (Xcode 26.5 / Swift 6.3):
+## Get it
 
-- **`PunktfunkKit`** (library)
-  - `PunktfunkConnection.swift` — wrapper over the C ABI. AUs/audio are copied into `Data`
-    (the C pointer is only valid until the next call of the same kind). `close()` is safe
-    from any thread: per-plane locks enforce the C contract ("never close with a
-    `next_au`/`next_audio` in flight") instead of leaving it to callers. Pinning + TOFU
-    via `pinSHA256:`/`hostFingerprint`.
-  - `AnnexB.swift` — in-band VPS/SPS/PPS → `CMVideoFormatDescription`; Annex-B → AVCC
-    `CMSampleBuffer` with `DisplayImmediately` set.
-  - `StreamView.swift` — SwiftUI `NSViewRepresentable` over `AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer`
-    (stage-1 presenter: the layer hardware-decodes compressed HEVC itself). One pump
-    thread per view, token-cancelled so reconnects can't double-pump.
-  - `InputCapture.swift` — `GCMouse` raw deltas + `GCKeyboard` HID→VK mapping (the host's
-    `vk_to_evdev` consumes Windows VKs), with fractional-delta accumulation so sub-pixel
-    motion isn't truncated away. Buttons use GameStream ids (1=left … 5=X2). Scroll is
-    WHEEL_DELTA(120)-scaled: macOS via the stream view's `scrollWheel` override, iPad via
-    GCMouse's scroll dpad when pointer-locked and a scroll-only `UIPanGestureRecognizer`
-    otherwise (trackpad gestures never reach GC's scroll dpad).
-  - `GamepadManager.swift` — app-lifetime controller discovery + selection (`.shared`):
-    watches `GCController` connect/disconnect, fingerprints each pad for the Settings UI
-    (name, capabilities, battery), and selects the ONE controller forwarded to the host
-    (user pin via "Use controller", else most recently connected extended gamepad).
-  - `GamepadCapture.swift` — the active controller → wire: snapshot-diff over
-    `GCExtendedGamepad` into incremental `gamepadButton`/`gamepadAxis` events (pad 0),
-    plus DualSense touchpad contacts and ~250 Hz motion samples on the rich-input plane
-    (the GC→DualSense unit conversions live in `GamepadWire`, one place). Held state is
-    released on the wire on controller switch / app deactivation / stop.
-  - `GamepadFeedback.swift` + `DualSenseTriggerEffect.swift` — host feedback → the real
-    controller: one drain thread for `nextRumble()` (→ `CHHapticEngine` per handle
-    locality) and `nextHidOutput()` (lightbar → `GCDeviceLight`, player LEDs →
-    `playerIndex`, adaptive-trigger effect blocks → a total, table-driven parser →
-    `GCDualSenseAdaptiveTrigger`, exact for the 10-zone positional modes).
-  - `HostDiscovery.swift` — LAN auto-discovery: an `NWBrowser` over `_punktfunk._udp`
-    (the host's `crate::discovery` mDNS advert), resolving each service to an IP:port via a
-    throwaway `NWConnection` and parsing the TXT (`fp` advisory cert fingerprint, `pair`,
-    stable `id`). iOS/tvOS need `NSBonjourServices` (`Config/Info.plist`) or the system
-    blocks the browse.
-- **`PunktfunkClient`** (the app): hosts grid (saved in UserDefaults) with an **On this
-  network** section listing mDNS-discovered hosts (tap to save + connect, or pair if the
-  host requires it), "+" toolbar sheet to add hosts manually, stream mode in Settings (⌘,),
-  two trust flows — the
-  trust-on-first-use fingerprint prompt over the live-but-blurred stream, and SPAKE2 PIN
-  pairing (`PairSheet`, from a host card's context menu or the trust prompt;
-  `ClientIdentityStore` keeps the client identity in the Keychain and presents it on
-  every connect) — then pinned reconnects, fps/Mb-s HUD + a **capture→client-receipt latency**
-  line (`LatencyMeter`, p50/p95): the AU `pts_ns` (host capture clock) to the instant the client
-  received it, **skew-corrected** across machines via `PunktfunkConnection.clockOffsetNs` (the
-  connect-time wall-clock handshake, `punktfunk_connection_clock_offset_ns`). It excludes the
-  layer's decode+present (stage-1 `AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer` has no per-frame present callback);
-  the opt-in **stage-2 presenter** (Settings → Presenter) adds a **capture→present**
-  (glass-to-glass) line via explicit decode + a Metal/display-link present. Settings also picks the HOST
-  compositor (KWin/wlroots/Mutter/gamescope, default automatic — the host honors it
-  only if that backend is available there) and has a **Controllers** section: every
-  detected controller (capability glyphs, battery, "In use" badge), which one to forward
-  ("Use controller", default automatic), and the virtual pad type the host creates
-  ("Controller type": Automatic / Xbox 360 / DualSense — Automatic matches the physical
-  pad; resolved at connect time, the host pad is fixed per session). Gamepad capture +
-  feedback run with streaming (`SessionModel` owns them, same trust gate as audio).
-  Settings also sets the **Bitrate** (Automatic toggle = host default; manual is a
-  log-scale slider, 2 Mbps – 3 Gbps, snapped to two significant figures — above 1 Gbps
-  an inline warning says to run a speed test first; tvOS uses a preset picker instead,
-  Slider doesn't exist there; negotiated via the Hello on every connect), and a host
-  card's context menu offers **"Test Network Speed…"** (`SpeedTestSheet`): connects, has
-  the host burst probe filler over the real data plane (up to the host's 3 Gbps probe
-  ceiling for 2 s, roadmap §9),
-  shows measured goodput · loss · a recommended bitrate (≈70% of measured), and applies
-  it in one tap. The streaming **statistics overlay** can be turned off and moved to any
-  corner (Settings → Display → Statistics, `DefaultsKey.hudEnabled`/`hudPlacement`), and
-  toggled live with **⌘⇧S** — a Scene-level **"Stream" menu** (`StreamCommands`) that also
-  carries **Disconnect ⌘D**, so disconnect survives the HUD being hidden (on iOS a small
-  exit chip appears instead; on tvOS the Siri-Remote Menu button still disconnects). The
-  macOS Settings window is a **tabbed preferences pane** (General / Display / Audio /
-  Controllers / Advanced) — the sections are shared with the iOS single-Form layout and the
-  tvOS pushed-picker layout, defined once each.
-- **Tests** (`swift test`): byte-level Annex-B units; a real-codec round trip
-  (VTCompressionSession-encoded HEVC rebuilt as the host's wire shape → `AnnexB` →
-  VTDecompressionSession → pixels); table-driven DualSense trigger-effect parsing
-  (`DualSenseTriggerEffectTests`) and the gamepad wire conversions
-  (`GamepadWireTests`); loopback integration against real local hosts
-  (`test-loopback.sh` — stream round trip incl. gamepad/touchpad/motion sends, a
-  host-scripted feedback burst asserted on the rumble + HID-output planes
-  (`PUNKTFUNK_TEST_FEEDBACK=1`), the bitrate-negotiation echo and a real 20 Mbps
-  bandwidth probe, plus the PIN pairing ceremony and the `--require-pairing` gate
-  against a second, armed host); the remote first-light test above.

-## Xcode project (`Punktfunk.xcodeproj`)
+## Project layout
 
-The app target **Punktfunk** wraps the same sources as the `swift run` shell
-(`Sources/PunktfunkClient`, a synchronized folder — no duplication) plus `App/` (asset
-catalog) and links `PunktfunkKit` from the local package. Generated Info.plist, ad-hoc
-signing, bundle id `io.unom.punktfunk`. Notes:
+- **`PunktfunkKit`** (library) — the reusable pieces:
+  - `PunktfunkConnection` — the wrapper over the C ABI (thread-safe `close()`, per-plane locks,
+    pinning + TOFU).
+  - `AnnexB` / `StreamView` / `VideoDecoder` / `MetalVideoPresenter` — format handling, the stage-1
+    (`AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer`) and stage-2 (`VTDecompressionSession` → `CAMetalLayer`) presenters.
+  - `InputCapture` — `GCMouse`/`GCKeyboard` → host VK/mouse, with fractional-delta accumulation.
+  - `GamepadManager` / `GamepadCapture` / `GamepadFeedback` / `DualSenseTriggerEffect` — controller
+    discovery + selection, capture (buttons/axes/touchpad/motion), and host-feedback rendering.
+  - `HostDiscovery` — `NWBrowser` over `_punktfunk._udp`.
+- **`PunktfunkClient`** (the app) — hosts grid with an *On this network* section, add-host sheet,
+  the two trust flows (TOFU prompt + SPAKE2 `PairSheet`), the stream view with the HUD, a
+  tabbed Settings pane (General / Display / Audio / Controllers / Advanced), and the network speed
+  test. A Scene-level **Stream** menu carries Disconnect (⌘D) and the HUD toggle (⌘⇧S).
+  On iOS/iPadOS **and macOS** a connected controller swaps the whole home for the **gamepad UI**
+  (`Home/Gamepad*`, `Settings/GamepadSettingsView`): a console-style host carousel (A connect · Y
+  library · X settings), a controller-navigable settings screen, an add-host flow with an
+  on-screen controller keyboard (no touch required anywhere), and the coverflow library browser —
+  all driven by the shared `GamepadMenuInput` poller + `GamepadCarousel`/`GamepadMenuList` focus
+  machinery, with dual-channel haptics (device Taptic + controller `MenuHaptics`), over an
+  animated "aurora" backdrop (`GamepadScreenBackground` — TimelineView-driven drifting color
+  blobs; deliberately pure SwiftUI, since a .metal library only reliably bundles in one of the
+  two build systems these sources compile under). macOS presents the settings/add-host screens as
+  sheets (no `fullScreenCover` there); `PUNKTFUNK_FORCE_GAMEPAD_UI=1` forces the mode without a
+  physical pad (dev/screenshots).
+- **Tests** (`swift test`) — Annex-B units, a real-codec VideoToolbox round trip, DualSense
+  trigger-effect and gamepad-wire conversions, loopback integration against real local hosts, and the
+  remote first-light test.
 
-- **Entitlements (sandbox)**: the macOS target uses
-  `Config/Punktfunk-macOS.entitlements`; iOS/tvOS use the shared
-  `Config/Punktfunk.entitlements`. The macOS app is **App-Sandboxed** (mandatory for the Mac
-  App Store/TestFlight, and used for the Developer ID DMG too so the local build matches what
-  ships): `com.apple.security.app-sandbox`, `network.client` + **`network.server`** (the
-  sandbox gates `bind()`; quinn + the raw-UDP plane both bind, so receive breaks without it),
-  `device.audio-input` (mic), `device.bluetooth` + `device.usb` (GameController over BT/USB),
-  and the existing `keychain-access-groups`. `app-sandbox` is macOS-only — keep it OUT of the
-  shared iOS/tvOS file (it fails upload validation there). Verify a build is sandboxed with
-  `codesign -d --entitlements :- <built .app>`. Heads-up: `device.usb` draws some App Review
-  scrutiny — justify it in the review notes ("reads input from USB game controllers").
-- **App icon**: `App/Assets.xcassets` ships an empty `AppIcon` slot. For an Icon Composer
-  `.icon`: add the file to the project (target Punktfunk), set it as the App Icon in the
-  target's General tab, and delete the placeholder `AppIcon.appiconset`. Heads-up: CLI
-  `actool` (Xcode 26.5) crashed compiling `punktfunk_Logo.icon` — if Xcode does the same,
-  suspect the icon bundle (it has a duplicate-named layer, "…Layer-3 2.svg"), not the
-  project.
-- **Tests from Xcode**: the package tests run with `swift test`; to get them on ⌘U, add
-  `PunktfunkKitTests` once via Edit Scheme → Test → + (Xcode persists it into the shared
-  scheme — a hand-written package-test reference doesn't resolve headlessly).
-- `xcodebuild -project Punktfunk.xcodeproj -scheme Punktfunk build` works headlessly;
-  same for `-scheme Punktfunk-iOS -destination 'generic/platform=iOS Simulator'` (run it
-  in a simulator via `xcrun simctl install/launch` — `SIMCTL_CHILD_PUNKTFUNK_AUTOCONNECT=…`
-  passes the dev autoconnect env through).
+## Notes for contributors
 
-## Notes for whoever picks this up next
+- **Xcode project** (`Punktfunk.xcodeproj`) wraps the same sources as the `swift run` shell (a
+  synchronized folder — no duplication). The macOS target is **App-Sandboxed** (needs
+  `network.server` — the raw-UDP plane and quinn both `bind()`); iOS/tvOS use the shared
+  entitlements file (keep `app-sandbox` **out** of it). Verify with
+  `codesign -d --entitlements :- <built .app>`.
+- **Decode flow**: the host opens every stream with an IDR carrying VPS/SPS/PPS in-band, and recovery
+  keyframes re-send them — refresh the format description on every IDR; there is no out-of-band
+  extradata, ever.
+- **ABI threading**: one video pump thread per connection, one optional audio drain thread, and one
+  optional feedback drain thread (rumble + HID-output). `send()` is enqueue-only and safe alongside
+  all of them. The wrapper's per-plane locks make `close()` safe from anywhere.
+- **DualSense motion scale** (`GamepadWire`) is derived from hid-playstation's math, not yet
+  live-verified — if gyro/accel feel wrong in a game, correct sign/scale there and `evtest` the
+  host's virtual pad.
+- **App Store screenshots** are automated — `tools/screenshots.sh all` renders the real UI at the
+  required pixel sizes via a DEBUG-only shot mode; the `apple` CI workflow captures the iOS sizes on
+  every main push. See the script header for details.
+- Deeper design notes live in [`design/apple-stage2-presenter.md`](../../design/apple-stage2-presenter.md).
 
-1. **cbindgen import quirk** (the predicted "small compile fixes", now fixed): the
-   C17-compatible header spells `PunktfunkStatus`/`PunktfunkInputKind` as integer typedefs while
-   the enum *constants* import into Swift as a distinct same-named type — bridge with
-   `.rawValue` (see the top of `PunktfunkConnection.swift`). Don't fight the generated header.
-2. **ABI contract**: one video pump thread per connection, plus optionally one *separate*
-   audio drain thread for `nextAudio()` and one feedback drain thread for
-   `nextRumble()`/`nextHidOutput()` (the core keeps per-plane borrow slots, so the planes
-   never alias; rumble + HID-output are two planes drained sequentially by the one
-   feedback thread); `send()` is enqueue-only and safe alongside all of them. The
-   wrapper's per-plane locks make `close()` safe from anywhere (it waits out in-flight
-   polls, ≤ their timeouts).
-3. **Decode flow**: the host opens every stream with an IDR carrying VPS/SPS/PPS in-band
-   and recovery keyframes re-send them — "refresh the format description on every IDR"
-   (what `StreamView` does) is sufficient; there is no out-of-band extradata, ever.
-4. **Stage 2 — built, opt-in (`punktfunk.presenter == "stage2"`, default stage 1).** Explicit
-   `VTDecompressionSession` decode (`VideoDecoder`) → a `CAMetalLayer` + display-link present
-   (`MetalVideoPresenter`/`Stage2Pipeline`), hosted as a sublayer by the same `StreamView`s with
-   input capture + HUD unchanged. It adds a **capture→present** (glass-to-glass, modulo the host
-   render→capture term) HUD line, skew-corrected via `PunktfunkConnection.clockOffsetNs`. The
-   decode half is unit-tested (`testVideoDecoderAsyncCallbackDeliversPixels`); the Metal present
-   is display-bound — **validate live** (flip the Settings "Presenter" picker, watch the HUD
-   number and that the image looks right) before making it the default. 10-bit/HDR + a smoothing
-   pacer are later. Plan: `docs-site/content/docs/apple-stage2-presenter.md`.
-5. **Audio — wired, both directions.** Playback: `SessionAudio` drains `nextAudio()`
-   on its own thread, decodes through CoreAudio's built-in Opus codec (`OpusCodec.swift`
-   — kAudioFormatOpus, no bundled libopus; round-trip unit-tested) into a priming
-   jitter ring feeding an `AVAudioSourceNode`. Mic: a second engine taps the input
-   device, resamples to 48 kHz stereo, Opus-encodes 20 ms chunks and `sendMic()`s them
-   (the host's virtual PipeWire source accepts any frame size ≤ 120 ms). Speaker/mic
-   are chosen in Settings (`AudioDevices.swift` — persisted by UID; "System default"
-   leaves the engines unpinned so they follow macOS device changes), mic on/off toggle
-   included; the app asks for mic permission on first use
-   (NSMicrophoneUsageDescription is in the Xcode target). A/V sync and packet-loss
-   concealment beyond silence-fill are still open (AudioPacket.seq/ptsNs carry what's
-   needed). Decode with libopus or `AVAudioConverter`/`kAudioFormatOpus` into an
-   `AVAudioEngine` source node; conceal gaps (drop/dup) rather than blocking — the Rust
-   side buffers 320 ms and drops the newest packet when the puller lags. Wall-clock
-   `ptsNs` shares the host clock with video AUs for A/V sync. Wiring this into
-   `PunktfunkClient` is the next app-side task.
-6. **Gamepads — wired end to end.** Exactly ONE controller (the `GamepadManager`
-   selection) forwards as pad 0; the host accumulates the incremental events into a
-   virtual pad whose TYPE the client negotiates in the Hello (`gamepad:` connect
-   parameter, echoed resolved in `resolvedGamepad` — Automatic resolves from the physical
-   pad at connect time; host precedence: explicit client choice > host `PUNKTFUNK_GAMEPAD`
-   env > Xbox 360). A DualSense session carries the full feel: adaptive-trigger blocks
-   (`DualSenseTriggerEffect.parse` — mode bytes per the community convention
-   (Nielk1/ds5w/inputtino), total, unknown → `.off`), lightbar, player LEDs, touchpad,
-   motion. **Motion scale constants** (`GamepadWire.gyroLSBPerRadS` = 20 LSB per deg/s,
-   `accelLSBPerG` = 10000) are derived from hid-playstation's math over the host's fixed
-   calibration blob, not yet live-verified — if gyro/accel feel wrong in a real game,
-   correct sign/scale in `GamepadCapture.forwardMotion`/`GamepadWire` and `evtest` the
-   host's virtual pad. Twin identical controllers share a fingerprint base, so a manual
-   pin can swap between them across reconnects (documented in the Settings footer).
-7. **Trust — the full ceremony exists now (SPAKE2).** `generateIdentity()` once (persist
-   both PEMs in the Keychain), then `pair(host:identity:pin:name:)` with the 4-digit PIN
-   the host prints when it ARMS pairing (`--allow-pairing`/`--require-pairing`; one PIN
-   per arming window, surfaced in the host's web console — port 3000 → Pairing — and
-   printed at startup; the user reads it before pairing). Returns the
-   host's VERIFIED fingerprint; persist it and pass `pinSHA256:` + `identity:` to every
-   connect. Pairing is a real PAKE: a wrong PIN gets ONE online guess (no offline
-   dictionary attack), throwing `.wrongPIN`; a wrong-size pin throws `.invalidPin`. `PunktfunkClient` implements both flows:
-   the TOFU fingerprint sheet keeps working against hosts not running
-   `--require-pairing`, and the PIN ceremony is wired in — `ClientIdentityStore`
-   (Keychain) on every connect, `PairSheet` from a host card's context menu or the trust
-   prompt's "Pair with PIN instead…" (the host's accept loop is sequential, so that path
-   drops the live session before pairing). With `--require-pairing` the host now
-   authorizes clients too (the "other direction" is no longer open, opt-in per host);
-   the whole gate is regression-tested in `testPairingCeremonyAndRequirePairingGate`.
-7b. **Resize without reconnect**: `requestMode(width:height:refreshHz:)` mid-stream —
-   the host rebuilds at the new mode in ~90 ms; the first new-mode AU is an IDR with
-   fresh parameter sets (the refresh-on-IDR decode flow handles it untouched) and
-   `currentMode()` reflects the switch. Wire it to window-resize events.
-8. **Input capture** (stage 1): capture is a deliberate, reversible STATE owned by
-   `StreamLayerView`, Moonlight-style. Engaged when the stream starts / trust is
-   confirmed and when the user clicks into the video (that click is suppressed toward
-   the host); released by ⌘⎋ (toggles) or focus loss; NEVER engaged by mere app
-   activation — activating clicks may be title-bar drags or resizes, which used to get
-   their cursor warped away mid-drag. While captured: the local cursor is hidden +
-   frozen mid-view (the host renders its own), all input is forwarded, and the view
-   consumes key events as first responder so unhandled keyDowns don't beep — ⌘-combos
-   still work locally (⌘D disconnect, ⌘Q) *and* reach the host via GC. While released:
-   nothing is forwarded (`InputCapture.forwarding` gates the GC handlers; held
-   keys/buttons are flushed host-side on release so nothing sticks down), the cursor is
-   free, and the HUD shows "Click the stream to capture input". GC handlers only fire
-   while the app has focus, and focus loss also auto-releases everything held. One live capture per process (the GC
-   mouse/keyboard singletons have a single handler slot — ownership is tracked so a stale
-   capture's stop() can't clobber a newer one).
-9. **iOS/iPadOS — ported and first-lit** (iPad simulator ↔ the real host, 60 fps).
-   `BUILD_IOS=1 bash scripts/build-xcframework.sh` builds device + universal-simulator
-   slices; the Xcode project has a second target, **Punktfunk-iOS**, sharing the same
-   synchronized sources. The iOS `StreamView` (StreamViewIOS.swift — same name/signature
-   as the macOS one, so the SwiftUI shell is identical) hosts the shared `StreamPump` in
-   a view controller for `prefersPointerLocked`: with a hardware mouse/trackpad that is
-   the iPadOS cursor capture (system honors it fullscreen-and-frontmost; in Stage
-   Manager it degrades to absolute-mouse forwarding). Input is routed by kind: DIRECT
-   fingers / Pencil are touches (each gets a wire touch id, coordinates mapped through the
-   aspect-fit letterbox into host-mode pixels — surface == host mode, so the host rescale is
-   the identity), while a mouse/trackpad is a MOUSE — pointer-LOCKED it is GCMouse relative
-   deltas; unlocked it is absolute moves + buttons + scroll over the UIKit pointer path
-   (hover + `.indirectPointer` touches), the local cursor staying visible so you can aim. An
-   indirect pointer is never sent as a touch. Touch is gated on trust (not forwarded under
-   the TOFU prompt), and returning to the foreground restores the capture you had on leaving.
-   `InputCapture` is cross-platform (GC works the same on iPadOS; ⌘⎋ is detected from
-   the HID stream there); audio routes via `AVAudioSession` (the Settings device
-   pickers are macOS-only). For the iPad-with-external-display setup: the target
-   enables multiple scenes + indirect input events — on Stage Manager iPads, drag the
-   punktfunk window onto the external screen and the stream runs there with full
-   keyboard/mouse/touch. While streaming the session is immersive (edge-to-edge,
-   status bar + home indicator hidden) and the iPadOS cursor is hidden over the video only
-   while the scene is actually pointer-LOCKED (`UIPointerInteraction` `.hidden()`); when the
-   lock isn't held it stays visible and the mouse forwards as an absolute cursor instead; on
-   iOS first run the stream mode defaults to the device's native screen so the video
-   fills the display. **tvOS** runs the same app (target **Punktfunk-tvOS**, first-lit
-   in the Apple TV simulator at 720p60): playback-only audio (no mic on tvOS),
-   focus-driven UI (`.card` host tiles), no kb/mouse capture yet — input lands with
-   gamepad support, the natural tvOS input anyway. While streaming there is NO focusable
-   control (a focusable Disconnect button would let the focus engine eat the controller's A
-   before the host sees it); the Siri Remote's **Menu** button disconnects (`.onExitCommand`).
-   Core slices are tier-3 Rust targets (see Build above). Known gaps: true pointer LOCK (`prefersPointerLocked`) isn't
-   consulted through UIHostingController, so the hidden cursor can still drift onto a
-   second screen (fixing it means putting the controller into the UIKit presentation
-   chain); and
-   AVAudioSession interruptions (calls, Siri) don't auto-restart the audio engines yet
-   (reconnect recovers).

-## Known limitations of the current host (relevant to client UX)
-
-- One session **at a time** (the listener is persistent, but a second concurrent client
-  waits in the accept queue until the current session ends — the virtual output and
-  encoder are single-tenant).
-- Mid-stream renegotiation (resolution change without reconnect) is designed-for but not
-  implemented (the Welcome is one-shot today).
-- Host-side gamepad injection needs `/dev/uinput` access on the box (udev rule from
-  `docs/linux-setup.md`).

+// middle. The CALLER owns each card's look, including its own `.scrollTransition` — this component
+// deliberately applies none, so a screen can chain the VisualEffect-only transition modifiers without
+// the generic wrapper here pushing the type-checker onto an overload it can't satisfy.
+//
+// Navigation authority: an internal `cursor` (an index), NOT the scroll-position binding, is the
+// source of truth for where the gamepad is. `.scrollPosition(id:)` is a two-way binding and the
+// scroll view WRITES intermediate ids into it while a programmatic animation is in flight — so
+// reading the "current" item back out of it to compute the next one desyncs badly on a fast held
+// stick (each move reads a lagging value and the cursor stalls before the last item). Instead a move
+// advances `cursor` synchronously and points the scroll view at `items[cursor]`; scroll read-back is
+// only allowed to move the cursor when the gamepad hasn't driven recently (i.e. a touch drag).
+//
+// Feedback is dual-channel by design: `.sensoryFeedback` ticks the DEVICE Taptic engine (for a
+// handheld/touch user) and `MenuHaptics` ticks the CONTROLLER (for a couch user holding the pad).
+// Both fire on a move, on confirm, and — for a non-wrapping list — a duller bump plus a short visual
+// recoil when a move is refused at either end.

+// The gamepad-driven home screen (iOS/iPadOS only): a distinct, "10-foot" console-style host
+// launcher shown INSTEAD of HomeView while GamepadUIEnvironment is active — a separate screen built
+// around a center-snapping carousel of hosts, driven from the couch with a controller. No touch is
+// required anywhere: A connects, Y opens a saved host's library (when the flag is on), X opens the
+// gamepad settings screen, and the carousel always ends in an Add Host tile that opens the
+// controller-keyboard add flow. (A tap still works as a fallback for all of it.)
+//
+// All the scrolling/snapping/navigation/haptics live in GamepadCarousel; this file is the launcher's
+// chrome. Layout discipline (so nothing is EVER clipped, portrait or landscape): the gradient is a
+// `.background` modifier — NOT a ZStack sibling — because an `.ignoresSafeArea()` sibling expands the
+// stack to full-screen and hands the GeometryReader the full height, laying content out under the
+// status bar / home indicator. As a background it draws behind without affecting layout, so the
+// GeometryReader is sized to the safe area. The title and the controller-glyph hints are pinned with
+// `.safeAreaInset` (top / bottom-leading) — guaranteed inside the safe area and out of the carousel's
+// vertical budget — and the card is sized off the remaining height. macOS mounts it too (the
+// couch Mac-mini case) — same screen, with the settings/add-host covers presented as sheets
+// (macOS has no fullScreenCover). tvOS never mounts this view (native focus engine instead).

+// The vertical sibling of GamepadCarousel (iOS/iPadOS/macOS): a controller-driven focus list for
+// the gamepad UI's form-like screens (GamepadSettingsView, GamepadAddHostView). Up/down moves a
+// focus bar through the rows, left/right adjusts the focused row's value, A activates it, B backs
+// out. The CALLER owns each row's look (it gets the focused flag); this component owns the focus
+// cursor, controller polling, haptics, and keeping the focused row scrolled into view.
+//
+// Unlike the carousel there is no snapping and no `.scrollPosition` two-way binding to fight: the
+// cursor is plainly authoritative, the scroll view just chases it with `scrollTo`. Touch stays a
+// first-class fallback — tapping a row focuses AND activates it (rows are always fully visible, so
+// the carousel's "first tap re-centers" step would only add friction here), and free finger
+// scrolling is never hijacked back to the focused row until the next controller move.
+//
+// Feedback is dual-channel like the carousel: `.sensoryFeedback` ticks the DEVICE Taptic engine,
+// `MenuHaptics` ticks the CONTROLLER. Moves and value changes get the crisp detent; a refused
+// move at either end gets the dull boundary thud plus a short vertical recoil.
