//! KWin virtual-output backend via the privileged `zkde_screencast_unstable_v1` Wayland //! protocol (the mechanism KRdp / krfb-virtualmonitor use). //! //! `stream_virtual_output(name, width, height, scale, pointer)` asks KWin to create a new output //! sized to exactly `width`x`height`, rendered natively (no scaling), and hands back a PipeWire //! node for it. The node lives on the user's default PipeWire daemon, so [`VirtualOutput::remote_fd`] //! is `None` and capture connects to that daemon directly. //! //! Requirements: KWin must expose the privileged `zkde_screencast` global. It is a *restricted* //! protocol — KWin advertises it only to a client whose installed `.desktop` lists it under //! `X-KDE-Wayland-Interfaces` (KWin maps the connecting client to a `.desktop` by resolving //! `/proc//exe` against `Exec=`, then caches the grant per-executable for the session's life). //! So an interactive Plasma session does NOT hand it to a bare client — the host packages ship //! `io.unom.Punktfunk.Host.desktop` (`Exec=/usr/bin/punktfunk-host`, //! `X-KDE-Wayland-Interfaces=zkde_screencast_unstable_v1,…`) so it is present before the host first //! connects. The headless test path instead exposes it to bare clients via //! `KWIN_WAYLAND_NO_PERMISSION_CHECKS=1`. The compositor backend must implement //! `createVirtualOutput`: the **DRM backend** (any version) or the **VirtualBackend since KWin //! 6.5.6** (`kwin_wayland --virtual`); on `--virtual` < 6.5.6 the request fails with //! "Could not find output". We talk raw Wayland on `$WAYLAND_DISPLAY`, so the host must run inside //! the KWin session's environment. #![allow(clippy::all, dead_code, non_camel_case_types, non_snake_case, unused)] // Every `unsafe` block in this file carries a `// SAFETY:` proof; enforce it (unsafe-proof program). #![deny(clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks)] use super::{Mode, VirtualDisplay, VirtualOutput}; use anyhow::{anyhow, bail, Context, Result}; use std::os::fd::{AsFd, AsRawFd}; use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicBool, Ordering}; use std::sync::mpsc::Sender; use std::sync::Arc; use std::thread; use std::time::Duration; use wayland_client::protocol::wl_registry::{self, WlRegistry}; use wayland_client::{Connection, Dispatch, Proxy, QueueHandle}; // Generate the client bindings for the vendored protocol XML inline (no build.rs).
