Fallout from the documentation sweep: verifying doc claims against the code
turned up defects in the code and the shipped templates. Mostly comments that
describe behaviour we no longer have — which is how the docs went wrong in the
first place, since someone reads the comment and writes the page.
The one that mattered: a fresh deb/RPM/Arch install could not start the host at
all. The unit's `EnvironmentFile=` had no `-`, making host.env mandatory, and no
package creates it — all three ship only the templates under /usr/share and the
postinst merely prints the copy command. So `systemctl --user enable --now
punktfunk-host` died on "Failed to load environment files". Every field in
HostConfig::from_env resolves through unwrap_or/filter/None, so absent means all
defaults, exactly like a hand-run `serve`; the Nix module already wrote it as
`-${environmentFile}`. The Deck installer's own generated unit gets the same
prefix for the case where an operator later removes the file.
Shipped templates: PUNKTFUNK_SECURE_DDA is read by nothing (DDA/WGC are gone;
IDD-push is the sole Windows capture path and the secure desktop is
unconditional), so it stops being written into a fresh host.env;
PUNKTFUNK_INPUT_BACKEND offered a `uinput` value that does not exist and omitted
`kwin`, which is what a KDE session actually resolves to; PUNKTFUNK_RENDER_ADAPTER
no longer claims to pick a "Desktop-Duplication" GPU.
Comments corrected rather than deleted, since each explains a real why:
PUNKTFUNK_10BIT is default-on with explicit-off grammar, not an operator opt-in;
GNOME reaches EIS through Mutter's direct RemoteDesktop API, so it needs no portal
approval and is headless-capable; and the host does not run in session 0 — the
service is the session-0 supervisor and the host runs as SYSTEM in the interactive
console session, which is why game_term has to bind the input desktop at all.
packaging/bazzite/update-punktfunk.sh is now installed to /usr/share/punktfunk/,
so the command the docs promised exists.

punktfunk-docs
The Punktfunk documentation site: Fumadocs on TanStack Start (Vite + Nitro/bun preset).
Content lives in content/docs/ as .md/.mdx. This site is the source of truth
for the user-facing guides; design rationale lives in the internal punktfunk-planning repo.
API reference
/api renders the host's management REST API as an interactive
Scalar reference (linked from the top nav, the docs
sidebar, and the landing page). It reads public/openapi.json — a
snapshot of the repo's generated spec. Refresh it after a management-API change:
# from the repo root — regenerate the spec, then copy the snapshot in:
cargo run -p punktfunk-host -- openapi > api/openapi.json
cp api/openapi.json docs-site/public/openapi.json
Nothing in CI diffs the two, so the snapshot goes stale silently — that manual cp is the only
thing keeping them in sync. Before publishing docs, check that they match:
diff <(jq -S . api/openapi.json) <(jq -S . docs-site/public/openapi.json)
That should print nothing. Right now it doesn't: the committed snapshot predates the
/api/v1/update/check, /api/v1/update/apply and /api/v1/update/status endpoints, so the
published /api reference is missing the host self-update surface — re-copy it.
Develop
bun install
bun run dev # http://localhost:3001 (docs at /docs)
CI gates every change on bun run build followed by bun run lint (the TypeScript typecheck), in
that order — the build emits the .source typegen the typecheck imports. Run both before you push.
Build & serve
bun run build
bun run start # serves .output/ via Bun
