feat(host/steam): shippable usbip/vhci_hcd virtual Deck + client leave-shortcuts
Steam Deck pass-through (design/steam-deck-passthrough-plan.md), code-complete +
all CI checks green on Linux + adversarially reviewed; on-glass validation pending:

- usbip/`vhci_hcd` virtual Deck transport (inject/linux/steam_usbip.rs) for
  non-SteamOS hosts (Bazzite/generic) — presents a real interface-2 USB Deck so
  Steam Input promotes it. In-process vhci attach (loopback OP_REQ_IMPORT handshake
  → sysfs attach) with a bounded `usbip`-CLI fallback; detach on drop.
- Backed by a vendored, libusb-free trim of the `usbip` crate
  (crates/punktfunk-host/vendor/usbip-sim, MIT + NOTICE; host/cdc/hid + rusb/nusb
  removed; interrupt-IN paced by bInterval).
- Selection ladder raw_gadget (SteamOS fast-path) → usbip (universal) → UHID,
  with PUNKTFUNK_STEAM_USBIP / PUNKTFUNK_USBIP_ATTACH knobs.
- Shared Deck descriptors + the 0x83/0xAE feature contract + a Steam-accepted
  serial consolidated into steam_proto.rs; the raw_gadget backend reuses them.
- Linux client leave-shortcuts: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D + holding the escape chord
  (L1+R1+Start+Select) >=1.5s end the session (short press still exits
  fullscreen); the chord state resets across sessions.

Also bundles in-progress work already staged in the tree:
- host(kwin): xdg-output logical-geometry mapping so the KWin fake_input backend
  places absolute coordinates correctly under display scaling.
- docs: design/README index entries + design/controller-only-mode.md.

# design/ — design notes & deep-dive plans
Repo-internal design docs: architecture rationale, investigations, and the *why* behind decisions that
the code and [`../CLAUDE.md`](../CLAUDE.md) don't capture. **Authoritative current status lives in
[`../CLAUDE.md`](../CLAUDE.md)** ("Where the work stands" / "What's left"); the user-facing guides live in
`docs-site/`. These docs are kept trimmed: once work ships, the redundant implementation detail is dropped
(the code is the source of truth) and only the durable rationale + still-open items remain. Git history
holds the full originals.

## Consolidated open items
Still-open work scattered across the docs above, rolled up by theme so nothing is tracked in only one
buried doc. CLAUDE.md "What's left" is the headline list; this is the design-level detail. (→ names the
owning doc.)
**Latency / performance**
- Sub-frame pipelining — overlap encode+transmit within a frame; needs a direct NVENC SDK wrapper (~24 ms). → `implementation-plan`, `gamestream-host-plan`
- GPU-contention levers: correct async NVENC pipeline, auto-gated REALTIME GPU priority, clock/P-state pinning, frame-source escape (swapchain-hook/NvFBC/compose-flip), iGPU encode offload, PERF uniq-vs-fps instrumentation. → `gpu-contention-investigation` (§5.B/C/E/F/G), `host-latency-plan` (Tiers 1A/1B/3B/3C/3D/4)
- Apple stage-2 as default (after resolution/HDR checks) + smoothing/pacing policy + glass-to-glass numbers via `tools/latency-probe`. → `apple-stage2-presenter`
**HDR**
- Linux 10-bit HDR (Step 4): 8-bit→Main10 shim, true 10-bit PipeWire capture (blocked upstream — gamescope #2126), Linux-client P010 + GTK color management. → `hdr-pipeline-plan`
- GameStream HDR/10-bit (capture + metadata plumbing). → `gamestream-host-plan`
- Open Qs: MaxCLL source, GameStream SS_HDR_METADATA vs deliberate SDR, HLG sources, mid-session SDR-downgrade + SDR-for-SDR-client validation. → `hdr-pipeline-plan`
**Clients**
- Windows client on-glass validation (D3D11VA decode + HDR present + GUI on the RTX box) + RAWINPUT relative-mouse pointer-lock + per-host speed-test UI. → `windows-client-bootstrap`, `implementation-plan`
- iOS/iPadOS/tvOS stage-2 presenter variants. → `apple-stage2-presenter`, `implementation-plan`
- Android real-device validation (gamepad rumble/lightbar/DualSense, HDR10). → `implementation-plan`
**Windows host**
- Graceful stop signal — host is killed via TerminateProcess (skips RAII teardown → a stale virtual monitor can linger). → `windows-service`
- pf-vdisplay slot-reclaim on-glass reconnect-storm A/B; M4 driver-unification source-build validation; P2/P3 cleanup (D1-host lints, M6 scaffolding, M5 reshape WGC/DDA onto session/pipeline). → `windows-host-rewrite`
- Session-aware follow-ups: F44 gamescope teardown GPU-context corruption (#1, SIGKILL hypothesis); mid-stream-switch input-loss window; NVENC InitializeEncoder noise at 5K@240; NVENC HEVC ~800 Mbps cap (prefer AV1 above it); restore-guard/keep-warm coupling; Feature B (`PUNKTFUNK_SESSION_WATCH`) opt-in → default. → `session-aware-host-followups`
- Apollo backlog (~63 open) — highest-value: #9 Windows app launch (CreateProcessAsUserW), #7/#18 WASAPI device-loss recovery, #3 per-frame `IDXGIFactory::IsCurrent()`, #15 watchdog escalation, #14/#30/#56 abs-mouse through the real output rect, #10/#20/#32/#33 tray + browser-UI + in-binary service install + logs endpoint, #67/#68 frame pacing. → `apollo-comparison`
**Windows gamepads**
- DualSense public-distribution signing (EV cert + Microsoft Partner Center attestation — blocks public release); GameInput detection (reads VID/PID 0x0000 — may need a rank-3 KMDF USB-emulating bus driver); HidHide integration; minimum-OS / UMDFVERSION targeting; on-glass Cyberpunk glyph test. → `windows-dualsense-scoping`, `windows-dualsense-game-detection`
**GameStream**
- AV1 + surround 5.1/7.1 live stock-Moonlight confirmation (incl. FEC-under-loss); reconnect-at-new-mode robustness. → `gamestream-host-plan`, `implementation-plan`
**Game library**
- 6 remaining providers (Desktop/Flatpak, itch.io, Ubisoft Connect, Amazon Games, Battle.net, EA app); the `/library/art/<entryId>/<slot>` mgmt endpoint; refactor `library.rs` into a `library/` dir; 8 open design questions; optional SteamGridDB v2 enrichment. → `game-library-stores`
**Controllers / input**
- Rich Steam Controller / Steam Deck capture + virtual `hid-steam` inject (M1+ — Linux UHID, then clients, then deferred Windows UMDF). → `steam-controller-deck-support`
- Controller-only session shape (Deck/desktop as a remote gamepad, no video/audio) — `session_flags`/`SESSION_INPUT_ONLY` protocol bit + host skip-data-plane branch + client controller-only path. → `controller-only-mode`
**Multi-user / sessions**
- gamescope per-session input/audio isolation (independent desktops) — the 4 plumbing items, deferred. → `gamescope-multiuser`, `implementation-plan`
**Security**
- **#12** — scope `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED` to a per-request pinned agent (needs `bun add undici`); latent-only today, but **must fix before the web app gains any off-loopback server-side TLS**. → `security-review`
**Deferred / do-not-retry records** (kept so the dead ends aren't re-explored)
- DualSense audio-driven haptics — deferred until all 3 GO conditions are met. → `dualsense-haptics`
- IDD-push direct frame-push on bare-metal console capture — architecturally impossible (no presentation consumer for the swapchain). → `windows-virtual-display-rust-port`
